lands are marginal lands pursuant to ORS 197.247 (1991 Edition), the land is zoned with an Exclusive Farm Use Zone pursuant to ORS chapter 215 provided the zone qualifies for special assessment under ORS 308.370, or is an "abandoned mill site" zoned for industrial use as provided for by ORS 197.719. In areas of intermingled agricultural and forest lands, an agricultural/forest lands designation may also be appropriate if it provides protection for forest lands consistent with the requirements of OAR chapter 660, division 6. The plan shall describe the zoning designation(s) applied to forest lands and its purpose and shall contain criteria that clearly indicate where the zone(s) will be applied. The Subject Property is not currently designated as forest land and no exception to Goal 4 applies to the Applicant's proposal. The Subject Property is not specially assessed for farm or forest use. Over 320,000 acres are designated Forest Land in Marion County, mostly occupying the eastern area of the county as indicated by the MCCP. Applicant's proposal is to designate land outside this eastern area of the County as Timber Conservation and forest lands. The Board in prior cases has decided land outside identified areas qualified for another designation if the land has sufficient characteristics of the zone. The Forest Land area in the eastern half of the County has four zones based on ecology, climate, and land ownership. One such zone is the Willamette Valley zone that is defined as lying below 1,000 feet in elevation, in blocks of less than 500 acres combined with agricultural land, containing deciduous and coniferous stands. The Subject Property generally fits within this definition as it is less than 500 acres, has a mix of deciduous and coniferous stands as shown in a 2019 aerial image. The elevation of the subject property ranges from approximately 600 feet to 1,380 feet exceeding the usual elevation in the Willamette Valley zone. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service identified 92.5 percent of the soils on the subject property as suitable for forest production with a Class 3 wood production capability. The MCCP Forest Lands Policy indicates forest site class is based on potential yields as measured by cubic feet per acre of mean annual growth of commercial desirable trees. The range for site classes is 1 to 7, the highest growth occurring on Class 1 land. The MCCP Forest Lands Policy Table No. 14 indicates site class 3 soils in Marion County produce 120-164 cf/ac per year for Douglas Fir (the most abundant of the harvested trees in Marion County). The Marion County Soil Survey indicates Nekia soils have a 140 cf/ac per year index for Douglas Fir. The Marion County Timber Productivity Map shows potential for timber growth on its forest lands. This map indicates the most productive forest land is in lower elevation outside National Forests and the Subject Property is similarly situated to such land. The Subject Property historically has been passively used for timber and currently in use as a quarry. The Timber Conservation designation is better suited to the Subject Property than a Farm/Timber designation because the property's steep slopes that make farming difficult. The Subject Property shares sufficient characteristics for the Forest Land designation and Timber Conservation zone. The Board finds OAR 660-006-0015 and Goal 4 are satisfied.
