REASONING: The requested zoning change to RA-30 could have a negative impact on the surrounding properties due to the commercial development pattern in the area. Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is not compatible with the existing Land Use classification of a Compact Mixed Use, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target area. These two designations highlight growing areas of the County that consist of a variety of nonresidential uses mixed with planned residential developments. Further this parcel was evaluated and approved by the Harnett County Board of Commissioners as Commercial in 2018. Since then, this area has become more commercially developed, therefore, a residential classification wouldn’t be as compatible as the existing commercial classification. Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The proposal does not enhance the public general welfare, as the requested zoning is not compatible with the growth patterns of this area as well as the NC 87 overlay that is in place to encourage and enhance nonresidential development. Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: This parcel is immediately adjacent to RA-30 zoned property and therefore does not need to be evaluated for small scale rezoning. STAFF REPORT Page 4 of 4 Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) As detailed within the above evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-30 is not compatible with Harnett County Land Use Plan and would not enhance the surrounding community based on the Hwy 87 Overlay as well as the existing commercial growth in the area.

It is at the discretion of the Board to carefully analyze the above criteria to determine if the proposed zoning change would be considered reasonable.

Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 is compatible with the overall land use classification of Medium Density Residential, as well as within the Compatibility Development Target area. The MDR land use class could have lot densities that range from 2-5 units per acre. Within the vicinity are also distinctive growth patterns to a municipal growth area. Along this road, similar rezoning requests have previously been approved due to these circumstances. Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area. Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: Due to the Land Use compatibility, as well as the same district being across the street, this application does not need to be considered for Small Scale Rezoning.

Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) As explained in the evaluation, the requested Land Use Map amendment is not compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community due to the low density nature of the area. Therefore, it is recommended that this reclassification request be DENIED. Per Harnett County Land Use Plan Residential Focus Areas Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Primary conservation areas, including floodplains and areas located in the Conservation Overlay Zoning District. Agricultural and Rural Residential: Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some rural residential areas. These areas are located outside of existing and future sewer service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment. They have a limited road network and in some cases lie within High Quality Watershed or Water Supply Watershed areas. The lack of utility and transportation infrastructure, 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, single family residential up to one unit per acre and context sensitive rural design. Medium Density Residential: Medium density residential with a mix of housing types including single family detached homes with average lot sizes, small-lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of 2-5 dwelling units per acre. Located in areas served by current or planned utilities or in areas near the extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes.

The uses and density provided by the current zoning and land use classification are more appropriate for this area.  On May 16, 2022 two adjacent parcels to the west were reviewed by the Harnett County Board of Commissioners for consideration of a Med. Density Residential classification. After hearing, several concerns from citizens in the area, issues such as traffic congestion, impacts on schools, and environmental impacts, the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously for the area to remain low density residential. Consequently, given the close proximity of that decision to this request, a clear precedence has been set and this area should remain low density residential. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) As listed above, the requested Land Use Map amendment is not compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community. Therefore, it is recommended that this reclassification request be DENIED. Per Harnett County Land Use Plan Residential Focus Areas Low Density Residential: Single family detached residential intended to remain predominantly suburban in character and provide for low density single-family residential development on lots smaller than those in Rural Residential areas. Gross densities of 1-3 dwelling units per acre depending on utilities, soils and character of adjacent development. Medium Density Residential: Medium density residential with a mix of housing types including single family detached homes with average lot sizes, small-lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of 2-5 dwelling units per acre. Located in areas served by current or planned utilities or in areas near the extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes.
