Development services backs commercial rezoning on NC‑87 South in Cameron; public hearing set
Summary
Harnett County staff recommended rezoning about 3 acres on NC‑87 South in Cameron from its current classification to commercial, citing adjacent commercial uses and the village‑land‑use designation. The board agreed to schedule a public hearing.
County planning staff recommended approval of a rezoning request to change two unimproved parcels totaling about 3 acres on NC‑87 South in Cameron to a commercial zoning classification.
Sarah Arbour told the board the site, owned by TFD Incorporated with applicant Jonathan Tucker, is wooded and split by overhead power lines. Adjacent uses include a fitness center, gas station, auto repair shop and restaurant. Staff noted public water is available; sewer availability is unknown. The parcel lies in a highway corridor overlay (encouraging shared access and traffic‑safety measures) and within the Fort Bragg military corridor overlay; the Fort Bragg Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RULAC) concluded the rezoning would increase compatibility with military aviation operations.
Nut graf: Staff found the request compatible with the county's village future‑land‑use category, nearby zoning and the county land‑use plan objectives to encourage commercial investment in identified corridors, and recommended approval with a public hearing to follow.
Arbour told commissioners that vehicle counts on that section of NC‑87 are about 31,500 daily trips and that the site aligns with existing commercial zoning nearby. The board directed staff to schedule a public hearing for the rezoning at the next meeting.
Ending: The rezoning will proceed to a public hearing where staff will present a formal report and commenters may speak.
