EXHIBIT A and the adequacy of the roadway to accommodate the probable level of additional traffic. • Goal 13: Energy Conservation. There is no indication of energy use increase or decrease based on the proposed zone change and comprehensive plan change. This goal does not apply. • Goal 14: Urbanization. The Applicant is proposing to rezone rural residential land to Commercial outside of the urban growth boundary. Therefore, the proposal complies with Goal 14 and does not require an exception to Goal 14. 5. Applicant has proven that all applicable Statewide Planning Goals except for Goal 3 are met. The Applicant is seeking an exception to Goal 3. GOAL 3 EXCEPTION 6. Land use applications of this nature must be consistent with Statewide Planning Goals. In this specific case, the subject parcel is covered by Statewide Goal 3 (Agriculture Land). There is a mechanism, however, for not applying the Goal to areas with certain characteristics. This mechanism is the Goal exception process that requires specific findings justifying why such lands are not available for resource use. There are three types of exceptions to Statewide Goals that may be granted. The first two are based on the concept that the subject property is "physically developed" or "irrevocably committed" to a certain use. The third is a "reasons" exception where there is a demonstrated need for the proposed use or activity. In this case, the Applicant indicated that the proposal qualifies for an irrevocably committed and physically developed exception. 7. OAR 660-004-0018(2) requires that "physically developed" and "irrevocably committed" exceptions to goals, plan, and zone designations shall authorize a single numeric minimum lot size and shall limit uses, density, and public facilities and services to those: A. That are the same as the existing land uses on the exception site; B. That meet the following requirements: i. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services will maintain the land as "Rural Land" as defined by the goals and are consistent with all other applicable Goal requirements; and ii. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services will not commit adjacent or nearby resource uses to non-resource use as defined in OAR 660-004-0028; and iii. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services are compatible with adjacent or nearby resource uses; ZC/CP 20-003- RECOMMENDATION -5 M.F. BAKKE, ET AL
