Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal II: Responsive City Government Supporting a Diverse and Viable Economy
? Objective 2.1 - To ensure a diverse City tax base
Goal III: City invested in Today and Tomorrow
? Objective 3.2 - To manage the City's future growth and strategic land use.
Executive Summary:
The applicant seeks to rezone a 12.53-acre vacant, wooded parcel from Cumberland County's Planned Industrial (M(P)CU) designation to the City of Fayetteville's Light Industrial (LI) zoning district as part of an annexation process. The site lies adjacent to other industrially zoned properties. The surrounding land is largely vacant and zoned for industrial use or held by the City, including land near the Fayetteville Airport. The proposed amendment aligns with existing development patterns, long-range plans, and economic development goals. It supports job creation, accommodates a recruited specialized manufacturing facility, and maintains compatibility with neighboring industrial uses. The rezoning translates existing County zoning into a corresponding City category, continuing a logical development pattern without encouraging premature, strip-style, or isolated development, and poses no anticipated adverse effects on property values or the environment.
