Current Text:

Proposed Text: (Attach additional sheets if necessary)
See attached
Reason for Requested Change:
To amend Harnett County’s U.D.O. use regulations that pertain to outdoor storage facilities.
Commentary:
Mini-storage facilities are a use in the UDO but limit the amount of outdoor storage of items such as campers, boats, etc. Numerous requests have been submitted recently for outdoor
storage areas. The Board of Adjustment often has difficulties deciphering which part of the mini-storage regulations are applicable. Therefore, it is recommended that the existing
regulations be revised to incorporate exclusively outside, storage facilities.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that…)
The requested Text Amendment is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and the impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the proposed Text Amendment is similar
to existing regulations within the U.D.O.
Therefore, it is recommended that this Text Amendment request be APPROVED.
