The applicant is proposing changing the existing zoning classification of Central Business (C/B) to Office & Services (O/S). This is a conventional zoning Applicant Information Owner of Record: Applicant: Name: Harnett County Farm Bureau, INC Name: Same as Owner Address: 105 E.

Front St. Vicinity Map Physical Characteristics and Existing Land Uses: Site Description: The Site currently contains an unoccupied commercial structure and associated parking areas. The applicant’s intent is to demolish the structure and parking areas and rebuild an upgraded office building with additional parking. There is a site plan contained within your packet. Current Zoning: Central Business (C/B) Future Town Land Use Classification: Main Street Mixed Use: Characteristics Downtown will include a mix of predominately commercial uses, along with office, institutional, and residential uses. It will be safe and comfortable for pedestrians and those with limited mobility (old, young, or with physical limitations). Motor vehicles are accommodated, but will not dominate. Vacant buildings are re-used and vacant sites are developed. Buildings and their sites are well taken care of. Studio apartments are located in upper floors and other appropriate locations. Downtown sidewalks will connect to trails and recreational sites and neighborhoods. The Lillington Small Town Main Street (STMS) downtown streetscape plan will be implemented so that suitable sidewalks and street trees are installed and maintained. Good sidewalks, safe street crossings, and a storefront orientation of buildings produce a continuous pedestrian experience. Parking locations are sited appropriately for downtown: at curbside, in the interior of blocks, and at the rear of buildings. A National Register Historic District designation will enable owners of historic buildings to take advantage of large tax credits for renovations.

Staff Evaluation: Recommended Approval The impact to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable, and the benefits of the Zoning Assignment outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community: REASONING: The requested zoning assignment to Office & Services (O/S) Will Not have a negative impact on the community as it is similar in nature to existing uses within proximity to the project area, as well as the previous business use. Staff believes that there is no increase in impact to the surrounding community. The requested zoning assignment is compatible with the existing Land Use Classification: REASONING: The requested zoning district and plan are in line with the existing land use classification of Main Street Mixed Use. This classification promotes businesses and offices that serve the community as a whole. It is staff’s opinion that this project Is or Will be Compatible with the Land Use Plan moving forward. The proposal does enhance or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare: REASONING: The requested Rezoning to Office & Services (O/S) Would Maintain or Enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare. Improvements to the site will allow for additional entrances, improve visibility, and provide for safer ingress and egress from the property. TOWN OF LILLINGTON 102 East Front Street ● P.O.

ITEM SUMMARY Attached for your review and Consideration of a Capital Reimbursement and Allocation Agreement Between the Town of Lillington and Wade Park Developers, LLC. § 160D-1001. Authorization.(a)The General Assembly finds the following:(1)Development projects often occur in multiple phases over several years,requiring a long-term commitment of both public and private resources. (2)Such developments often create community impacts and opportunities that are difficult to accommodate within traditional zoning processes.(3)Because of their scale and duration, such projects often require carefulcoordination of public capital facilities planning, financing, and constructionschedules and phasing of the private development. (4)Such projects involve substantial commitments of private capital, which developers are usually unwilling to risk without sufficient assurances thatdevelopment standards will remain stable through the extended period of thedevelopment.(5)Such developments often permit communities and developers to experiment with different or nontraditional types of development concepts and standards, while still managing impacts on the surrounding areas.(6)To better structure and manage development approvals for such developmentsand ensure their proper integration into local capital facilities programs, localgovernments need flexibility to negotiate such developments. (b)Local governments may enter into development agreements with developers, subject to the procedures of this Article. In entering into such agreements, a local government may not exercise any authority or make any commitment not authorized by general or local act and may not impose any tax or fee not authorized by otherwise applicable law. (c)This Article is supplemental to the powers conferred upon local governments and does not preclude or supersede rights and obligations established pursuant to other law regarding development approvals, site-specific vesting plans, or other provisions of law.

O. Easements. It is anticipated that portions of the 210 Water Transmission Main will be located outside of dedicated public rights-of-way, and that perpetual easements and temporary construction easements will therefore need to be obtained from the owners of certain parcels of real property along State Highway 210 for installation and maintenance of the 210 Water Transmission Main for the public’s benefit.
