REQUEST & DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The applicant requests an exception from the Minor Subdivision ‘three year rule’. In November
2020, one lot was created on this large tract, 671 Prospect Church Rd. Now, the owner wishes to
create 1 new lot (~2.2 acres) beside the existing house. This division will leave a residual tract that
could further be developed.

Article III, Sect 8.2.1 D of the Harnett County Unified Development Ordinance:
“This procedure may not be used a second time within three (3) years on any property less
than 1,500 feet from the original property boundaries by anyone who owned, had an option on, or
held any legal interest in the original subdivision at the time the subdivision received preliminary or
final plat approval or by any subsequent owner, individual having an option on, or individual
having any legal interest in the original subdivision at the time the subdivision received preliminary
or final plat approval.
However, the Planning Director or Designee may at any time refer the application to the
Harnett County Planning Board for consideration to allow a second minor subdivision to
occur within the allotted three (3) years if deemed necessary and appropriate. Subsequent to
Planning Board approval, the application shall then be reviewed in accordance with the major
subdivision review and approval process by the Development Review Board. In no case shall
utilization of this process allow for the number of new lots created, combined with the
number of lots created by the initial minor subdivision exceed the maximum number of lots
permitted by the minor subdivision process. No other requirements set forth by the minor
subdivision process shall be circumvented.
