To amend Harnett County’s U.D.O. Article III. Section 8.2.3 & 8.4.1 to explicitly state that a soil report
is required for all minor subdivisions. The proposed text amendment is necessary to add language mistakenly omitted from the Unified Development Ordinance and will not result in any change in practice.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that…)
The requested Text Amendment is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and 15A NCAC 18 E Wastewater Treatment and Dispersal Systems, and that the benefits outweigh any potential
inconvenience or harm to the community. Therefore, it is recommended that this Text Amendment
request be APPROVED.
