EXHIBIT A except one to the far west (inside city limits) are in farm production. The properties are bordered to the north and east by smaller single family dwelling lots not in farm use and to the south by State Highway 22. All of the approval criteria for a physically developed and irrevocably committed exception are met. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 11. All Comprehensive Plan changes are subject to review by the State Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). The DLCD was notified as required by State Law and did not comment prior to this report being prepared. 12. The Marion County Comprehensive Plan (MCCP) establishes procedures to be used when considering plan amendments. Plan changes directly involving 5 or fewer property owners will be considered a quasi-judicial amendment. The amendment will be reviewed by the zone change prodedures established in MCC 17.123. A plan amendment of this type may be processed simultaneously with a zone change request with the zone change procedure outlined in Chapter 123 of the MCRZO. The subject property is comprised of six tax lots with no more than four property owners, all having an existing use, the proposal is considered under the quasi-judicial amendment process. 13. The MCCP does not contain specific review criteria for plan amendments; however, any amendment must be consistent with its applicable goals and policies. The goals and policies that apply in this case are located in the Rural Development Chapter and ilnclude policies for areas designated Commercial: A. "Strip-type" commercial or residential development along roads in rural areas shall be discouraged. B. Rural industrial, commercial, and public uses should be limited primarily to those activities that are best suited to a rural location and are compatible with existing rural developments and agricultural goals and policies. 14. No strip-type development is proposed. The majority of the parcels are currently developed and any additional development would not be expected to have any additional impact on surrounding agricultural and rural residential lands. The Applicant did not show any proposed development on the site plan, but indicated that the proposal will expand an existing commercial node rather than create a "strip-type" development. Gaffin Road is a paved City of Salem road therefore access is granted and controlled by the City of Salem. Currently there are established commercial uses located on several subject parcels, with no proposed new development. Therefore, no additional traffic would be expected to use Gaffin Road which would not be expected to impact rural residential and agricultural uses of adjacent properties. Applicant has proven that all applicable MCCP policies are met. ZC/CP 20-003- RECOMMENDATION -8 M.F. BAKKE, ET AL
