The Territory is located at 5290 Caplinger Road SE and 1125 Cordon Road SE and designated in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan as “Developing Residential” and ‘Industrial.” Zoning of the Territory if annexed would be RA (Residential Agriculture) and IP (Industrial Park). The RA zone district generally allows residential uses, select agricultural uses, playgrounds and parks, public buildings and child/adult care homes. The IP zone district generally allows agricultural crop production, construction businesses, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and select commercial services. The minimum lot size for single family dwellings is 4,000 square feet. This zoning designation allows a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre, assuming an allowance for public utilities and infrastructure. There is no minimum lot area requirement for the IP zone district. A complete description of uses in the RA and IP zone districts is available in Salem Revised Code (SRC) Chapters 145 and 157.

If annexed, the Territory is estimated to have the fiscal impact of creating an annual surplus to the City’s General Fund (in year 2005 dollars) of $11,513 assuming 2 acres of the Territory develop with single family dwellings at a density of 5 dwelling units per acre and 5 acres of the Territory develop with industrial uses at a density of 22 employees per acre.

Adequate public facilities exist to serve the Territory, in accordance with the city’s adopted budget, master plans, Capital Improvement Plan and urban growth management process as set forth in SRC Chapter 66.

Additional information regarding the proposed annexation and zoning is available for public review at the Salem City Hall, Department of Community Development, Room 305, 555 Liberty Street SE, Salem, Oregon and on the City’s web site www.cityofsalem.net.
