OLD BUSINESS A. Consider the Contract with the Sanford Area Growth Alliance for Economic Development Services In October of 2014, Lee County executed a contract for economic development services with the Sanford Lee County Partnership for Prosperity. Since 2014, the County has continued to fund the SLCPP for these services. Per Section 3 of the contract, the contract is to be reviewed along with the membership representation by the Board of Commissioners on an annual basis. Last year the contract amount was for $270,000. This year's request is $330,000. Commissioner Oldham moved to approve the contract with SAGA for economic development services for fiscal year 2018-2019 in the amount of $330,000, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Dodson, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan Nay: Knecht The Chair ruled the motion had carried 6:1. B. Consideration of a Rezoning Request for 261/275 Harvey Faulk Road and 3764 Highway 87 S. An application was submitted by Schoolhouse Sanford, LLC to rezone two tracts of land addressed as 261/275 Harvey Faulk Road and 3764 Highway 87 S. and comprising of approximately 14.22 acres off of Harvey Faulk Road from Residential Agricultural (RA) and Residential Restricted (RR) to a site plan specific conditional zoning district that would allow the development of a school on site in addition to the residential uses currently allowed. Zoning Administrator Amy McNeill stated that to approve the request the Board will have to approve that the zoning map amendment is consistent with adopted long range plan because, even though the 2020 Land Use Plan identifies this area as Retail - Commercial with a Highway Overlay, the access to the site is via Harvey Faulk Road as opposed to NC Highway 87 S., which does not lend itself to retail -commercial development and there is a mix of current development trends in the area, ranging from single-family houses to industrial businesses, in addition to a mix of surrounding zoning districts in the area. In addition, the Board will also have to approve that the request appears to be reasonable and in the public interest based on the existing non-residential development in Page 418
