The MCCP does not contain specific review criteria for plan amendments; however, any amendment must be consistent with MCCP applicable goals and policies. The policies relevant to this application are addressed below. 7. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #1: Protect the resource values of those areas designated as forest lands by applying a Timber Conservation zone consistent with OAR 660 Division 6. Applicant is seeking a Forest Land designation and Timber Conservation (TC) zoning. The Subject Property includes woodland and contains 66.6% non-High Value soils. The TC zoning recognizes this current forest use. Under the re-designation of Forest Land, OAR Division 6 will apply to the Subject Property. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 1. 8. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #2: Protect the forest resource value of those areas designated as farm/timber lands by applying a Farm/Timber zone consistent with OAR 660 Division 6. The Board finds this policy is not applicable because the proposed zone change is not for the Farm/Timber zone. 9. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #3: Protect the agricultural resource value of those areas designated as farm/timber lands by applying a Farm/Timber zone consistent with OAR 660 Division 33.

Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #4: Non-forest and non-farm uses included in OAR 660-06-0025 and 660-33-120 may be allowed when the activity meets criteria that ensure there will be no significant adverse impacts on farm or forest practices occurring on nearby lands or increased risks associated with fire. Applicant is not requesting any changes to the current conditional use permit. Non-farm and non-forest uses require review by the county and must comply with state law and local ordinances. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy 4. 11. Forest Land and Farm/Timber Land Policy #5: Subdivision development is prohibited and other land divisions creating new dwelling sites are not compatible with the protection and efficient management of forest lands and farm/timber lands and are discouraged. Applicant is not requesting subdivision and it is not permitted under Applicant's proposed designation and zone. This application is consistent with Forest Land and Faun/Timber Land Policy 5.
