To amend Harnett County’s U.D.O. Article VII. Development Design Guidelines, Section 10.5, to allow
for public service institutions, such as schools and fire departments, to be exempt from section 10.5.C.2
of Article VII. Development Regulations, and to eliminate the requirement for minimum distance
between signs at institutional locations.

The requested Text Amendment is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and the
benefits outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. Therefore, it is recommended
that this Text Amendment request be APPROVED.
