The property is in an unincorporated community - not a rural service center. This policy does not apply. 6. Zoning ordinance provisions shall ensure that new uses permitted in unincorporated communities will not adversely affect agricultural and forestry uses. The IUC zone was acknowledged to be appropriate to implement the rural communities rule in the urban unincorporated community of Brooks-Hopmere. It contains a set of uses limited in size and nature to ensure the property remains rural and compatible with surrounding uses. The zoning proposed to be applied to the property ensures that this policy is satisfied. Rural Industrial Policies 2. Rural industries should be compatible with existing development and farm or forest uses in the vicinity, should not involve a large number of employees, should not require heavy truck traffic through residential areas or on unimproved roads, and should not have the potential to exceed the environmental capacity of the site or require urban services. The subject property is located in the Brooks-Hopmere unincorporated community. The proposed use of the property is a diesel engine repair educational program using an existing building, a use which has been determined by the Marion County Planning Director to be similar to those permitted in the IUC zone. No more than 25 students will be in class at any given time. No significant water will be used in the diesel engine repair educational program, so no urban services are necessary. Diesel engine repair activities would occur primarily within a building, and any additional development of the site that might occur in the future will require compliance with stormwater management regulations as part of the building permit process. The property has frontage on Portland Rd NE, an arterial road, and no truck traffic will pass through residential areas to access the property. The proposal complies with this policy. 3. A non-resource-related industrial use should not be permitted on resource lands unless an evaluation of the relevant County and State goals and the feasibility of locating the proposed use in an urban growth boundary or rural non-resource lands show that the proposed site on resource lands is the most suitable. The subject property is already zoned for industrial use and is not in resource use, and the impact from the proposed use is not expected to differ from that of the current use. The property is adjacent to Applicant's Brooks Campus and can utilize services already available. The Marion County Planning Director determined that the proposed use is similar to the outright permitted uses in the IUC zone. County and State goals are evaluated in this Recommendation. The proposal complies with this policy. 9. Applicant has proven that all applicable MCCP policies are met.
