1. The site is near both the North Santiam Highway, no. 162 (OR-22) and Kingdom Lane Frontage Road,No. 162BR. Both are subject to state laws administered by ODOT. While the site has frontage on Old Mehama Road(Marion County jurisdiction), ODOT and Marion County have previously set restrictions on heavy vehicle usage on Kingdom Lane. The new use of the property must ensure that heavy vehicles use Old Mehama Road to connect with OR-22 directly (to the east or west) rather than cutting through Kingdom Lane. Otherwise, ODOT has no objections to the zone change proposal. All other contacted agencies either failed to respond or stated no objection to the proposal. 5. Application Background. Applicant currently operates a quarry on the subject property. Applicant seeks to amend the MCCP and change the zone. The current comprehensive plan designation is Primary Agriculture and the proposed amendment is Forest Land. The zone is Exclusive Farm Use and the proposed change is to Timber Conservation-(TC). Applicant's intention with this proposal is so the designation of the Subject Property aligns with its historical land use. In 1993, Case No. Comprehensive Plan/Conditional Use 93-4, this Board granted Administrative Ordinance 959 that approved a proposal for a comprehensive plan text and map amendment. This added the aggregate site on the Subject Property to the "Other Sites" inventory of the County and granted conditional use approval for a quarry and rock crusher. In 1997 (CU 96-81), this Board granted an order of approval that modified the conditional of approval concerning access to the Subject Property for gravel permit purposes. Applicant was approved in 2017 for a minor modification of the site area for the gravel mining operation. MCCP POLICIES AND GOALS 6. The comprehensive plan amendment must be consistent with any applicable MCCP policies and goals. The MCCP plan amendments Policy 2 provides: The procedures which Marion County will use to consider Comprehensive Plan amendments, in addition to the requirements in State law, are as follows: Individual Property or Quasi-Judicial Amendments: Plan changes directly involving five or less properties will be considered a quasi- judicial amendment. Quasi-judicial amendments may be initiated by the subject property owners with an application form supplied by the Marion County Planning Division. The amendment will be reviewed by the zone change procedure established in the Marion County Zoning Ordinance. A Plan amendment application of this type may be processed simultaneously with a zone change request. The Subject Property is one parcel and as such, the proposal is a quasi-judicial amendment request that is reviewed under applicable MCC title 17 procedures.
