Case ZON25002 (northern Ramsey Street area): The board approved a request to rezone a 1.75-acre portion of a larger parcel from A1 (agriculture) to A1A (1-acre minimum agriculture district). County planning staff said the parcel did not contain hydric soils, had existing water line access near the site and was consistent with the North Central Area Land Use Plan. The planning board recommended approval 7–0. Vice Chairwoman Jones moved to approve; a second was recorded and the board voted to adopt the rezoning.

Case ZON24042 (Sharon Church/Turnbull area, about 20 acres): The board denied a request to rezone from A1 to R15 for a planned single-family subdivision. Staff had recommended denial, citing hydric soils or hydric inclusions, a lack of nearby utility infrastructure, and restricted road frontage (staff noted only 18 feet of road frontage at Sharon Church Road). The planning board had supported denial 7–0. One member of the public, Christopher Campbell, spoke in opposition. The board denied the request with a motion by Vice Chairwoman Jones; the recorded vote was unanimous.

Case ZON25001 (Bernard Road/Norris and Burnet area): The board approved a rezoning from A1A to R30A for about 3.5 acres to allow smaller-lot residential use. Staff recommended approval and noted the site bordered existing suburban residential designations; the planning board supported approval 7–0. Applicant John Roberson spoke in favor, saying the land has been in his family and now has a water line. In the recorded vote, commissioners Tyson, Counsel, Vice Chairwoman Jones, Chairman De Bevere, Commissioner Patel and Commissioner Adams voted in favor; Commissioner Faircloth voted in opposition.

Board discussion on the cases focused on access, soils suitability for septic and wells, and whether requested districts matched the adopted area land use plans. Planning staff said detailed soil testing and driveway/right-of-way approvals would be handled at the subdivision/permit stage if applicants move forward.

The board’s actions follow planning staff recommendations and planning-board votes in all three matters.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners March 17 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The county acted on three zoning cases March 17: it approved two rezoning requests and denied one after staff and planning-board recommendations and public comment.","taxTitle","Cumberland County, North Carolina","taxId",3861,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6626683,"Cumberland County approves incentive for air-dome manufacturer after public hearing",246,2550000,2796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2749860-2eca26c94450ec9e1982c846fbc2a807&start=2550&end=2796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2749860-2eca26c94450ec9e1982c846fbc2a807/thumbnail_2550000.jpg","/articles/6626683/Cumberland-County/North-Carolina/Cumberland-County-approves-incentive-for-air-dome-manufacturer-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626683-039274cf7713e2a054b1aef9da82a857/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154069&Signature=dZsa5AyiKes~WflUkxABKaM6NoP25fPMtY8ZL8SihNHlf2NdMoAmwDzV2oXBGMbJazqaj4magVe7lgNgIJRIZb6bi37XGaEZjomoayDYoMIRM3FP2pNPB~7BjF46EotF-mMZBQy2GWQRZT5aOt-qKt4~0b3BYZzWBrA50qULoQub-hLpi6PqmwpkrakKQk8lbBJoGxEvus7Z-T2TDeD32vxgycSL9e18UFlp43PpCbv9pNRB1eoSY7gYj31D1eKGqTY47lu17YnBo1lEaIaw10sutV2B30CJ11qQY1pGZ-yM546bXQTXZx8TOFQW~g9XecDPgAsG76JSyyJ9UYE3OQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved a local incentive grant for the company identified in public materials as Project CrossFit after a public hearing on March 17.

Rob Patton, executive vice president of the Fayetteville Cumberland Economic Development Corporation, told commissioners the firm manufactures large air domes used by NFL and NCAA teams and at international sporting events and is considering a Fayetteville site off Aviation Parkway and Airport Drive. Patton said the company expected $4.1 million in new investment and 72 jobs that would pay above the county average.

Patton asked the county to consider a cash grant to support the project. He presented a request of $88,107 to be paid over five years and said the City of Fayetteville had approved roughly $63,000 in incentives.

Commissioner Patel moved to approve a local incentive grant “not to exceed $88,170” to be paid in installments over five years provided the company meets the investment and job-creation requirements; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The motion recorded by the board used an $88,170 figure; Patton’s presentation used $88,107.

No members of the public signed up to speak for or against the incentives at the hearing. Commissioners did not attach additional conditions in the motion as recorded.

The county’s economic development staff said the site under consideration is on Airport Drive near the airport; if the company selects the Fayetteville-Cumberland location, the grant will be paid over five years contingent on the company meeting the investment and hiring thresholds described in the motion.

The board did not adopt additional written terms as part of the motion during the meeting. County staff and the economic development corporation will manage follow-up compliance and contracting steps.

Votes at this meeting were taken by raised hands and recorded aloud by the clerk; commissioners approved the incentive by majority and no roll-call breakdown was published in the motion text beyond the unanimous affirmation.","The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved a local incentive grant to a company identified as Project CrossFit to support an air-dome manufacturing facility, with the county portion recorded in the motion slightly higher than the amount presented by county economic development staff.","actionData","errors"]
