HARNETT COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE GROWTH PLAN (HORIZONS 2040)
VISION
Harnett County is a unified, safe, healthy, and engaged community that is culturally vibrant, well-planned with a
thriving economy and a high-quality educational system, in harmony with its environmental and beautiful natural
resources, and with strong leadership ensuring equitable services so that all citizens will prosper.
FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES/ AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL AREAS
Agricultural Protection Areas: Areas of the county with concentration of agriculture, timber operations and
natural resources. Farmland preservation efforts should be focused in these areas. The established low density
development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute 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 be less than 0.5 dwelling unit per acre.
LAND USE GOALS & STRATEGIES
LU-1: Manage growth in order to protect natural resources, agricultural area and rural character.
Strategy 1A: Review development proposals for consistency with Future Land Use Map and goals and strategies of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Strategy 1C: Discourage large scale residential development and related rezonings in Agricultural Protections Areas
and the Military Corridor Buffer identified on the Future Land Use Map.
Strategy 1D: Update zoning to reduce density and improve design in Agricultural Protection Areas.
AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES GOALS & STRATEGIES
ANR-1: Encourage compatible land uses in areas with important natural resources.
Strategy 1A: Promote and maintain rural character and the agricultural economy.
Strategy 1C: Minimize negative impacts of new development on farms.
Strategy C1: Promote only low-density development in agricultural areas.
PARKS AND GREENWAYS GOALS & STRATEGIES
PGW – 1: Provide active and passive recreation opportunities to preserve and enhance the quality of life.
