Farmland preservation efforts should be focused in these areas. The established low density development patternand ongoing agricultural activities in these areas con-tribute to their rural character. This character can be enhanced by encouraging only low intensity uses such as agriculture and support businesses, and very low density single family residential with context sensitive rural design. New residential development should be limited in density and scale. Density should generally belessthan0.5 dwelling unit per acre. Environmental and Military Areas CONSERVATION Environmentally sensitive areas, includingfloodplains and areas located in the Conservation Overlay Zoning District. Primary uses in these areas includes recre- ation, forestry, and agriculture. PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Parks and other forms of protected open space, in- cludinglarge conservation easements.This character area also includes Fort Liberty. Primary uses in these areas includes recreation, forestry, agriculture and military operations. MILITARYCORRIDOR BUFFER Areas proximal to Fort Liberty.Proposed developmentintheseareasshouldbecompatiblewithexistingand futuremilitaryoperations. RURAL/AGRICULTURE Primarilyagriculturaland forestry uses with some rural business and rural residential areas. These areas are located outside of existing and planned utility service areas and rely on septicsystems forwastewatertreat- ment. The lack of utility and transportation infrastruc- ture should limit the density of development to very low density single family residentialuptoone dwelling per acre. Residential Areas LOWDENSITY RESIDENTIAL Singlefamily detached residential intended to remain predominately suburban in character and provide for low density single-family residentialdevelopment. Gross densities of 1-2 dwelling units per acre depend- ing on zoning, utilities, soils, and character of adjacent development. Smaller lot sizes could be permitted as part of a CompatibilityDevelopment,which would also include a higher amount of open space to preserve sensitive environmentalareas. MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Located in areas served by current or planned utilities, medium density residential permits a mix of housing types including single family detached homes, small- lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of 1-3 dwelling units per acre depending on zoning, utilities, natural features and adjacent development.Smaller lot sizes and some attached housing could be permitted as part of a Compatibility Development, which would also include a higher amount of conserved open spaceto preserve sensitive environmental areas. Character Areas FUTURE LAND USE -CHARACTER HISTORIC COMMUNITY Historic communities, including Kipling, Chalybeate Springs and Bunn Level. These communities have structures, including homes, churches and business-es that date to the early 1900s. Future development may include a variety of uses including single family and house-scale attached residential andcommercial. Buildings should mimic historical scale and include architectural details. New non-residential building footprints will usually be less than 5,000 square feet in these areas with exceptions for civic and institutional uses. RURALCENTERS Small-scale commercial centers and nonresiden- tial activity areas. The exact location and extent of the Rural Centers will be market driven, however, the non-residentialfootprintwill usually be less than30,000 square feet in these areas. Buildings and sites should blend with the character of development nearby. Residential uses include smaller lot homes, patio homes, and somesmall- scale attached products (such as duplexes orquadplexes),where appropriate. VILLAGES AND VILLAGECENTERS These areas are meant to be nodes or activity centers for growing areas in the county. They should be located to compliment an existing center or include and be designed around a defined center and inte-grated greenspace. Villages should have a connect-ed street network with short block lengths and have access to major thoroughfares and utilities. These areas incorporate a variety of small-to medium-scale commercial uses including grocery stores,retail estab-lishments, restaurants and services. Office, civicand in-stitutional uses should complement commercial uses. Residential options may include small lot single-family, townhomes, missing middle housing types and live- work units with residential units above commercial uses. Village Center locations may also include apart-ments and condos or dorms in the case of Campbell University. Residential uses should be located in close proximity to shopping and service destinations and complimented by pedestrian facilities to provide more walking opportunities to internal and external destina-tions. Nonresidential and Mixed-useAreas COMMERCIAL MIXED USE These areas are located along major roads and include a mix of commercial land uses and some residential uses. This character area is home to medium to large-scale retail, services, restaurants, offices and other businesses.Residential uses may include single-family homes, townhomes, missing middle housing types and occasionally apartments. EMPLOYMENT GROWTH AREA These areas are located along major thoroughfares and include prime locations for economic develop-ment opportunities. Uses encouraged in the Employ-ment Growth Areas include but are not limited to in-dustrial, warehouse, office, research and development, tech-flex, medical, energy, and distribution.Residential development is appropriate only when not in conflict with existing or future industry or commercial uses or focal development areas. JETPORT OVERLAY Areas proximal to the Harnett Regional Jetport. Proposed development in these areas should be com-patible with existing and future jetport operations. Land Use Map Draft Recommendations ▪Create an Agricultural Protection Overlay District ▪Increase standards for new residential development ▪Create Village Districts ▪Address housing affordability issues ▪Create a protective Jetport Overlay District ▪Add conditional zoning districts Zoning Updates Recommended A major recommendation in the Harnett Horizons 2040 Comprehensive Plan is to update the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to increase development standards and encourage a land use pattern more in line with the Future Land Use Map. Many areas zoned RA-30 or RA-20 should be zoned for lower density and base standards for certain types of residential should beimproved.

Agricultural Protection Overlay Agricultural Buffers To reduce impacts to working farmland new subdivisions in certain zoning districts with lots under 25,000 square feet could be required to preserve or install a landscape buffer. This would allow existing farmland operations to continue without potential conflicts from new development. Residential Design & Density ▪Increase standards for New Development I. Continue incentives for conservation subdivisions (Smaller lot sizes in exchange for higher standards for the development) II. Add an open space requirement for RA-20R, RA-20M, and RA-30 Zoning districts III. Increase Standards for a compatibility subdivision IV. Enhanced road connectivity V. Require sidewalks, curb and gutter, and street trees for lots under 20,000 sq. feet ▪Consider the creation of a new minor subdivision type that allows “Farmhouse Clusters” as a by-right development type. Conservation Subdivisions Village Design Concept Village Design Design details for districts should include: A short,walkable block network (block lengths less than 500ft) Pedestrian-oriented design of streets and buildings (i.e.,active storefronts) Shared amenities that could include village greens or other central public space Access to daily needs including retail, healthcare and other services A diversity range of housing options that could include single family homes,cottages, townhomes and missing middle housing types, live-work units and some apartments ▪Accommodate a mixture of housing types in appropriate areas. ▪Mix of lot sizes in new development ▪Allow for smaller lots and/or attached product as part of conservation subdivisions and new village districts ▪Encourage the preservation and construction of affordable and workforce housing. ▪Work with partners to prevent and reduce homelessness.

Conditional Zoning ▪Conditional zoning may be a more valuable tool since S.B. 382 ▪A conditional zoning process could be set up to provide for additional flexibility for innovative development proposals. ▪Affordable Housing – require mix of housing products ▪Preserve trees and protect other natural resources ▪Promote quality commercial and retail design ▪Transportation and Infrastructure: Conditional zoning may be a vehicle for encouraging needed public improvements Thank You!
