Sarah Arbor, Planner II, Development Services petitioned the Board for a public hearing on a
proposed Zoning Change: Case # PLAN2307-0001 Landowner / Applicant: Jean & Mark
Thomas/ Andy Priolo; 7.52 +/- acres of 22.02 +/- acres; PIN # 9681-93-0580.000; Proposed
rezoning from RA-30 to the Commercial zoning district; 190 McArthur Rd., Broadway, Upper
Little River Township.
Ms. Arbor stated staff s evaluation as:
• The impact to the adjacent property owners is reasonable. The property is located at
the intersection of US HWY 421 and McArthur Rd., which is identified as a non-
residential development node on the future land use map.
• The underlying land use for the property is Rural Center, a development node that
encourages small scale, non-residential development. The land use classification is
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
August 21, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 7
designed to reinforce countywide economic development goals with land use
decisions. The allowable uses in the requested zoning designation, Commercial, are
fully compatible with the existing land use classification.
• The requested zoning designation would enhance the public health, safety and general
welfare due to the potential site improvements that would be required for commercial
development.
• Due to the compatibility of the requested zoning with the underlying future land use
and the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the request does not
need to be evaluated as a small-scale rezoning.
On August 7, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend
approval of this rezoning due to compatibility with the County's future land use plan. No one
spoke in opposition. As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial is
reasonable because it is compatible with the County's future land use plan. This intersection that
the property is located is identified as a development node which encourages small scale
commercial centers. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Chairman Nicol opened the public hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to approve the rezoning request. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon and carried unanimously. (Attachment 6)
Ms. Arbor also petitioned the Board for a public hearing on proposed Zoning Change from RA-
30 to RA-20R: Case # PLAN2307-0003 Landowner / Applicant: Harriette Lee Ray/ Triangle
Land Partners, LLC.; +/- 73 acres of +/-95.9 acres; PIN# 0538-88-6399.000; Rezoning request
from RA-30 to the RA-20R zoning district; 4155 NC 27 W.; Upper Little River Township.
Ms. Arbor stated staff s evaluation as:
• The impact to the surrounding community is unreasonable. The proposed request to
rezone could potentially allow for higher intensity uses and more residential units than
the current zoning designation permits, which could result in a greater impact on
adjacent properties.
• The requested rezoning is not compatible with the Agricultural and Rural Residential
land use classification. The Agricultural and Rural Residential land use classification
is designed to limit impacts on agricultural operations by encouraging low density
residential developments with densities of up to 1 unit per acre. The proposed rezoning
of the property would potentially allow for more residential units than what is
compatible with the underlying land use.
• The proposal does not enhance or maintain the public health, safety, and general
welfare. The proposal could potentially allow for higher intensity land uses and
residential developments with more units, which is incompatible with the established
low -density development patterns and ongoing agricultural activities in the vicinity.
• The request is not for a small scale rezoning and does not need to be evaluated for
reasonableness. The parcel is approximately 95 acres and a portion of the property is
currently located within the requested zoning district.

Page 4 of 7
On August 7, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend denial
of the rezoning. The Planning Board stated that the desired minimum lot size in the requested
zoning district could be permitted in the current zoning district if the applicant developed the
property using other processes, such as utilizing the County's Compatibility Design Concept
table or developing the property as Planned Unit Development. One citizen expressed concern
that development of the property would increase water runoff and adversely impact his adjacent
family farm, which is downhill from the subject property.
Chairman Nicol opened the public hearing and the following people spoke:
1. Scott Brown of 409 Chicago Drive, Suite 112, Fayetteville, NC.
2. Rebekah Brock of 5220 Christian Light Road, Fuquay-Varnia, NC.
3. Alan Longman of 234 Hamilton Road, Bunnlevel, NC.
4. Elizabeth Longman of 234 Hamilton Road, Bunnlevel, NC.
5. Jeffrey Walker of Lillington, NC.
Commissioner Weatherspoon asked Mr. Brown to share information regarding the requirements
to ensure surrounding properties are not damaged. Mr. Brown shared information regarding
erosion requirements and permits with NC DEQ. Additional discussion included stormwater
runoff, measures to protect surrounding properties, and distance of hog farm from the proposed
development.
No one else spoke. Chairman Nicol closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weatherspoon
stated based on the zoning for surrounding tracts of land and the fact this is split zoned, part of it
is RA-20, I make a motion to approve the rezoning to RA-20 for this tract of land. The motion
was seconded by Vice Chairman Morris. The motion carried unanimously. (Attachment 7)
Jay Sikes, Assistant Development Services Director/ Manager of Planning Services, petitioned
the Board for a public hearing on Proposed Text Amendment: Case # PLAN2307-0004
Applicant: Harnett County Development Services; Harnett County Unified Development
Ordinance; Article V. Sections 1.1.A. To amend Harnett County's UDO Use Regulations
Section. On August 7, 2023 the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to
recommend approval of this Text Amendment based on compatibility with Harnett County
regulatory documents. No one spoke in opposition.
Chairman Nicol opened the public hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to approve the text amendment and adopt an ordinance
amending the Unified Development Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Weatherspoon and carried unanimously. (Attachment 8)
Janice Lane, Human Resources Director, reviewed a request regarding the selection of Board of
Elections Temporary Staffing Agency for Election Workers. The Human Resources Department
is recommending the Board of Commissioners select The Greer Group as a part-time temporary
staffing agency to provide payroll services for part time seasonal election workers for the
County. The staffing agency would assume the responsibility for onboarding, payroll and
liability for any workers' compensation claims. A RFP was placed out for bid and four (4) bids
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
August 21, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 7
were received. The Human Resources Department chose The Greer Group and their markup is
23.6%. The staffing agency selected currently works with another County Board of Elections so
they have experience in this area. This new process would not affect the appointment process for
the judges, the recruitment process for election workers nor would it affect the assigned location
for each election worker. In the future, the use of an outside staffing agency could also afford
the County a broader pool of election workers as the County voter population increases. The use
of an outside staffing agency for election worker activity would provide many benefits to the
County. Two significant benefits would be the reduced impact on the Human Resources staff for
onboard activity and the liability and internal control issues associated with the payment of
election workers by the Finance Department. Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to table this
item. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon and carried unanimously.
Vice Chairman Morris made a motion to adopt an Ordinance to amend the delegation of
contracting authority to not exceed $250,000. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Matthews and carried unanimously. (Attachment 9)
Mr. Trout reviewed a request regarding the appointment of voting and ex-officio members to the
I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America Economic Development Alliance Board of Directors
(previously tabled from the August 1, 2023, work session). Commissioner Matthews made a
motion to remove from the table the appointment of voting and ex-officio members to the 1-95/I-
40 Crossroads of America Economic Development Alliance Board of Directors. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon. Commissioner Matthews made a motion to appoint
Jerry Milton as voting member to the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America Economic Development
Alliance Board of Directors as recommended by the Harnett County Economic Development
Partnership. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon and carried
unanimously. Commissioner Matthews made a motion to recommend Ricky Day to serve as an
ex-officio member of the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America Economic Development Alliance
Board of Directors. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Morris. Chairman Nicol asked
if there were any other nominations. As there were no other nominations, Chairman Nicol
closed nominations. Chairman Nicol called for a vote on the nomination of Ricky Day as a ex-
officio member. All members voted in favor of the nomination of Ricky Day as an ex-officio
member for the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America Economic Development Alliance Board of
Directors. Commissioner Weatherspoon made a motion to nominate Vice Chairman Morris to
also serve as an ex-officio member for the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America Economic
Development Alliance Board of Directors. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Matthews and carried unanimously.
Mr. Trout shared he has hired Stephen Barrington to be the Economic Development Director for
Harnett County. Stephen is currently the Economic Development Director in Sampson County.
He has a strong history of success in each position he has held in Economic Development. He is
scheduled to start his new position on September 18, 2023. I look to forward to welcoming him
to the county at that time.
