EXHIBIT A C. For which the uses, density, and public facilities and services are consistent with OAR 660-022-0030, 'Planning and Zoning of Unincorporated Communities', if applicable, or D. That are industrial development uses, and accessory uses subordinate to the industrial development, in buildings of any size and type, provided the exception area was planned and zoned for industrial use on January 1, 2004, subject to the territorial limits and other requirements of ORS 197.713 and 197.714. 8. Some of the subject properties are currently developed. It is not within an unincorporated community and is not in industrial use. Marion County has adopted a rural commercial zone which has been acknowledged as complying with Goal 14, Urbanization. The zone ensures that rural uses will not exceed density limitations on rural land and will not commit rural uses to requiring an urban level of public facilities. The commercial uses which would be allowed under the county's Commercial zone would be able to be supported on solely a rural level of public services, including rural septic service, and would be similar to the types of uses found in the surrounding land to the east, which is zoned Commercial. While there are parcels in the north and eastern area that are zone Special Agriculture, because of the existing development in the immediate area, most of the properties in the immediate vicinity are residential /commercial and are not being farmed. The property cannot be farmed in conjunction with any other parcels in the area. No urban public services will be needed to serve the site. The parcels in the area already consist of properties in commercial or residential use. Based on the evidence and findings provided by the Applicant and summarized here, the proposal meets the criteria for a goal exception. 9. OAR 660-004-028 specifies that a local government may adopt an exception to a goal when the land subject to the exception is irrevocably committed to uses not allowed by the applicable goal because existing adjacent uses and other relevant factors make the uses allowed by the applicable goal impracticable. It further stipulates that whether land is irrevocably committed depends on the relationship between the exception area and the lands adjacent. The findings for a committed exception therefore, must address the following: A. The characteristics of the exception area; B. The characteristics of the adjacent area and the lands adjacent to it; and C. The relationship between the exception area and the lands adjacent to it; and D. The other relevant factors set forth in OAR 660-04-028(6). OAR 660-004-028(6) referenced above indicates that findings of fact for a committed exception shall address the following factors: A. Existing adjacent uses; ZC/CP 20-003- RECOMMENDATION -6 M.F. BAKKE, ET AL
