SUBJECT: Angier Fire Department Proposed Station 2
REQUESTED BY: Larry Smith Emergency Services
REQUEST:
Angier Fire Department is seeking the approval of the Board of Commissioners to
construct a new Fire Station in the 700 Block of Mangum Rd (see map), the Lillington
side of new by pass, at a cost of 4 to 5 million dollars. The property has been purchased
by the department. They are proposing the construction of a 8,000 sq ft station. Their
contractor has estimated the cost per sq ft to be $450 to $525 per sq ft. This would put
the cost of the station between $3,600,000 to $4,200,000. An additonal $800,000 would
be spent to purchase a rescue pumper and additional equipment. Their Board feels this
will improve response times in the area of the new by pass. They will fund the project
with a loan from the USDA.

Evaluation
Yes
Yes
No
No
The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING:
The impact to the adjacent property owners is reasonable, and the benefits of the
rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. The
requested rezoning of the property to RA-30 may result in the expansion of sewer
service for future development, and may improve the existing road network for the
adjacent developments via connection to stub roads in adjacent developments.
The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING:
The requested zoning district is not fully compatible with the Agricultural and Rural
Residential land use classification. Typically, this land use classification is primarily for
agricultural and low-density residential land uses, and is located in areas of the County
that lack utility infrastructure and rely on septic system for wastewater treatment.
However, the recent introduction of sewer to the area has made the land more suitable
for higher density residential developments and greater use intensities. As a result, the
existing land uses in the area have changed considerably and no longer reflect the
typical development patterns compatible with the existing future land use classification,
which was adopted in 2016. The future land use classification in this area will be re-
evaluated through the comprehensive land use plan update in the coming months.
Yes
No
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING:
The requested zoning designation would enhance the public health, safety and general
welfare due to the potential for increased connectivity of the road network through the
potential road connections from the Serenity development to the north and the
Regalwood Development to the south.
Yes
No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: The request does not need to be evaluated for Small Scale Rezoning
HCBOC 101023 ws Pg. 24
STAFF REPORT Page 7 of 8
based on the size of the property and the similarity of permitted uses in the requested
zoning district.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-30 is reasonable due to the compatibility with
surrounding land uses and the availability of public water and public sewer. Therefore, it is recommended
that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information
On September 5, 2023 the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend
approval of this rezoning due to the growth patterns in this area.
Three residents were present from the adjacent Regalwood subdivision to speak in opposition of the
proposed rezoning.
Concerns included:
- The residents opposed a possible connection to the Regalwood Subdivision road stub, Sherman Drive, in
the event that the subject property is developed as a major subdivision due to a possible increase in
traffic. Residents stated that the current width of Sherman Rd. cannot accommodate an increase in
residential or construction traffic and expressed concerns of the safety and accessibility of the active open
space for the subdivision.
-The residents also opposed the request to rezone due to concerns that the lot and home sizes would be
incompatible with the current lot and home sizes in their existing subdivision.

Evaluation
Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING : The requested zoning change to Commercial is reasonable as the
property is located along a major thoroughfare, and there are several non-residential
uses in the vicinity.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING : The requested zoning district is completely compatible with the
underlying land uses, Employment Mixed Use and Rural Centers. These two land use
classifications are development nodes designed to encourage commercial activity and
economic development throughout the County.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING : The requested zoning would enhance or maintain public health, safety
and general welfare due to a nonresidential growth patterns along US 401 and the
required site improvements once developed for commercial use.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL-SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING : Due the compatibility of the requested zoning classification with the
underlying land use and the proximity of the requested zoning classification to the
subject property, the request does not need to be evaluated for reasonableness.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community based on the presence of the existing businesses in the area, the
direct access to US HWY 401, the potential site improvements that would be required, and compatibility
with the land use classifications. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information
On September 5, 2023, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend
approval of the requested rezoning due to the compatibility with the Harnett County Land Use Plan.

Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.

of rezoning outweigh any potential harm to the community due to the compatibility
with the underlying future land use.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested rezoning is compatible with the Medium Density
Residential and Employment Mixed Use land use classifications. The Medium Density
Land use classification exists in areas identified as suitable for gross housing densities
of 2-5 units per acre, which could potentially be possible in the requested zoning
district. The Employment Mixed Use classification supports a variety of uses, including
residential, where appropriate.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested rezoning maintains the public health, safety and general
welfare as the uses permitted in the requested zoning classification are compatible with
surrounding land uses.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.

Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R would not have an unreasonable impact on
the surrounding community based on compatibility with the County’s Land Use Plan and the existing
surrounding land uses. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be Approved
Planning Board Information
At the September 5, 2023 Planning Board, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously to table
the rezoning application. At the time of the Planning Board meeting, an insufficient rezoning request
application had been submitted for the adjacent property by the same applicant and land owner. It was
the will of the Board to wait to consider the rezoning requests together, so the item was tabled.
At the October 2, 2023 Planning Board, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously, (5-0), to
recommend denial of the rezoning. The Board stated concerns about the limited road network and the
possible impacts to the adjacent community.
Several residents spoke in opposition at the Planning Board. The residents stated concerns regarding-
-The ability of the current infrastructure to support a higher residential density, including roads,
emergency services, and schools.
-Access to a limited road network

Evaluation
Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is unreasonable. The requested
zoning district is not adjacent to or located in close proximity to the subject property.
As a result, rezoning the property 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.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The intent of the Low Density Residential land use classification is to
support smaller lot residential developments in areas where water and sewer are
available and the development is compatible with the adjacent land uses; however,
sewer service is not available, and the adjacent properties are either undeveloped,
used for agricultural activities, or were developed as a compatibility subdivision with
25,000 sq. ft. lots or greater. Therefore, the rezoning request is not compatible with
the land use classification.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: 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.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: The request is not for a small scale rezoning and does not need to be
evaluated for reasonableness due to the size of the tract and the similarities between
the existing and proposed zoning classifications.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R would have an unreasonable impact on the
surrounding community based on incompatibility with the County’s Land Use Plan and the surrounding
land uses in the vicinity. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be DENIED.
Planning Board Information
At the October 2, 2023 Planning Board meeting, the board voted (4-1) to recommend denial of the
proposed rezoning. The Board recommended denial based on several concerns stated by the residents.
Several residents attended the meeting to speak in opposition. The residents’ concerns included:
-The potential for an increase in traffic on a section of McDougald Rd. with limited site distance due to the
curves in the road and the topography of the land.
-Loss of farmland

may be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina (the “State”) has an
interest in promoting and facilitating economic development in underserved areas and counties
throughout the state;
WHEREAS, the State believes that promoting high-speed internet access (“Broadband”)
in unserved or underserved counties across North Carolina will encourage economic development;
WHEREAS, in further support of this interest, the State has passed legislation that allows
counties to make grants to unaffiliated, qualified providers of Broadband;
WHEREAS, in accordance with such legislation, the County issued a Request for
Proposals to solicit bids from internet service providers to provide affordable Broadband service;
WHEREAS, the Company is a provider that is capable of providing the Broadband service
contemplated by the Request for Proposal;
WHEREAS, the Company responded to the Request for Proposal and the County has
reviewed the response from the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company is concluding Phase 1 of its two phase proposal; and
WHEREAS, the County desires to implement the second phase of the Company’s proposal
pursuant to which the Company will offer certain Broadband to underserved areas of the County
(the “Broadband Program”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein, and intending to be
legally bound, and for other consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services. The Company shall provide Broadband service targeted at a minimum
speed of 25 Mbps (megabits per second) or more download and 3 Mbps (megabits per second) or
more upload to unserved and underserved areas of the County in accordance with the specific
terms and conditions set forth on the Statement of Work (“SOW”) attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the “Services”). Any material change in or addition to the Services must be mutually agreed upon
by the Parties in writing and set forth on a Change Order or separate SOW. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the County recognizes that the Company may need to make technological decisions and
changes to the Services and the Company agrees to seek prior approval of the County for such
change, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The terms
HCBOC 101023 ws Pg. 87
Page 2 of 12
and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed in such a manner as to avoid conflict with the
terms and conditions of any SOW and/or any Change Order; however, in the event of conflict, the

parties in the SOW or Change Order.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall
continue for four (4) years (the “Initial Term”); thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically

Term, the “Term”) unless one Party provides the other with thirty (30) days’ notice of election not
to renew the Agreement.
3. Termination. Notwithstanding the notice provisions of Section 32 of this
Agreement, termination notice made under this Agreement shall be transmitted via US Mail,
Certified Return Receipt Requested and the period of notice for termination shall begin on the day

upon written notice for the other Party’s failure to comply with any material provision of this
Agreement; provided, however, such Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of
such failure or noncompliance and the breaching Party fails to cure such failure or non-compliance
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice; or (b) upon (i) the filing of a voluntary
or involuntary petition for bankruptcy or similar proceeding of or with respect to the other Party
or (ii) the making by the other Party of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
Termination shall not relieve either Party of any obligation under, or liability for any breach of,
this Agreement to the extent such obligation or liability was incurred prior to such termination.
Termination of this Agreement shall automatically terminate all SOWs issued hereunder; however,
termination of any individual SOW shall not automatically terminate this Agreement.

purposes set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement or any SOW issued hereunder is funded
in whole or in part by federal funds, the County’s performance and payment shall be subject to
and contingent upon the continuing availability of said federal funds for the purposes of the
Agreement or SOW. If the term of this Agreement extends into fiscal years subsequent to that in

will provide written notification to Company. If the Agreement is terminated under this Section
4, Company agrees to take back any affected deliverables and software not yet delivered under
this Agreement, terminate any services supplied to the County under this Agreement, and relieve
the County of any further obligation thereof. The County shall remit payment for deliverables and
services accepted prior to the date of the aforesaid notice in conformance with the payment terms
outlined in Section 5. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4 shall not
apply with respect to any SOW entered into by the County.

this Agreement and any SOW do not (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the articles of
incorporation, bylaws, or other charter documents of such Party; (b) contravene any applicable law
or regulation, or (c) conflict with or result in a breach of or default (with or without notice or lapse
of time or both) under any material contract, agreement or instrument to which such Party is a

(c) Litigation. There are no demands, assertions, claims, actions or
proceedings, judicial, governmental or otherwise, pending or, to such Party’s knowledge,
threatened against such Party which affect such Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this

data, documents and other information furnished by such Party to the other Party are true and

independent contractor, and not as an employee, agent, representative, or partner of the County.
The Company shall not be considered an employee of the County, nor shall the Company nor any

written or oral agreement or understanding with the Company.
12. Governmental Approval. The Company’s ability to implement the Services is

proprietary information of the Company with respect to its business and business operations (the
“Confidential Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information”
as used herein shall not include information, technical data or know-how that: (i) is known by the
County at the time of disclosure; (ii) is or becomes known to the public through no fault or breach
of this Agreement by the County; (iii) is approved for release by written authorization of the
Company; (iv) is disclosed to the County by a third party not in violation of any obligation of
confidentiality of which the County is aware; or (v) is independently developed by the County
without reference to the Confidential Information.
All confidential Information is wholly owned by the Company regardless of whether it is recorded
on paper, electronic data file or any other medium. County may serve as custodian of Company’s
confidential information and not as an arbiter of claims against Company’s assertion of
confidentiality. The Parties recognize that the County is required to comply with North Carolina’s

some of my professional skills to use by serving on this board.
