EXHIBIT A ZONE CHANGE 15. Under MCC 17.123.060, approval of a zone change application or initiated zone Change shall include findings that the change meets the following criteria: A. The proposed zone is appropriate for the Comprehensive Plan land use designation on the property and is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the description and policies for the applicable land use classification in the Comprehensive Plan; and B. The proposed change is appropriate considering the surrounding land uses and the density and pattern of development in the area; and C. Adequate public facilities, services, and transportation networks are in place, or are planned to be provided concurrently with the development of the property; and D. The other lands in the county already designated for the proposed use are either unavailable or not as well suited for the anticipated uses due to location, size or other factors; and E. If the proposed zone allows uses more intensive than uses in other zones appropriate for the land use designation, the new zone will not allow uses that would significantly adversely affect allowed uses on adjacent properties zoned for less intensive uses. 16. The Commercial zone is the only zone that implements the rural Commercial designation in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan (MCCP). The MCCP policies that address designating property as Commercial were addressed earlier and the proposal is in compliance based on the evidence presented in the goal exception section of this report. The proposal is consistent with surrounding uses that comprise commercial, residential, and quasi-public uses on surrounding lands. Based on the information submitted by the Applicant, the criteria for a zone change are satisfied by the proposal. Applicant has satisfied all MCC 17.123.060 requirements and zone change approval is recommended. VII. Recommendation It is hereby found that Applicant has met the burden of proving that criteria for a zone change from SA to C and a Comprehensive Plan Designation change from Special Agriculture to Commercial have been met. The hearings officer recommends APPROVAL of the proposal, with the following condition: 1. A trip cap limiting development to 448 daily trips or 55 pm peak hour trips as identified in Table 3 of the Traffic Impact Analysis. ZC/CP 20-003- RECOMMENDATION -9 M.F. BAKKE, ET AL
