southern 3 acres become part of Wing's Industrial parcel Tax Lot 800 to the south, while <br /> having the northern 2 acres of Tax Lot 600 become part of the Meyerhofers' EFU parcel <br /> Tax Lot 400 to the north. If the entire application is approved, the result would be two <br /> parcels where there were once three — the Meyerhofers' 4.71-acre EFU parcel Tax Lot <br /> 400 to the north and Wing's 8.71-acre Industrial parcel Tax Lot 800 to the south. <br /> An applicant has the burden of proving all applicable standards and criteria are <br /> met. As explained in Riley Hill General Contractor, Inc. v. Tandy Corporation, 303 Or <br /> 390 at 394-95 (1987): <br /> "`Preponderance of the evidence' means the greater weight of evidence. It is such <br /> evidence that, when weighed with that opposed to it, has more convincing force <br /> and is more probably true and accurate. If, upon any question in the case, the <br /> evidence appears to be equally balanced, or if you cannot say upon which side it <br /> weighs heavier, you must resolve that question against the party upon whom the <br /> burden of proof rests." (Citation omitted.) <br /> An applicant must prove, by substantial evidence in the whole record, that it is <br /> more likely than not that each criterion is met. If the evidence for any criterion is equally <br /> likely or less likely, an applicant has not met its burden and the application must be <br /> denied. If the evidence for every criterion is in an applicant's favor, then the burden of <br /> proof is met and the application must be approved. <br /> This is a recommendation to the Marion County Board of Commissioners (the <br /> Board). The Board is the final decision-making authority. <br /> VI. DISCUSSION <br /> This application seeks an irrevocably committed exception to Goal 3, a <br /> comprehensive plan amendment, a zone change, and a property line adjustment. The staff <br /> report finds that all of the applicable approval criteria are satisfied. There is no opposition <br /> to the application or disputed issues. I agree with the staff report that all of the applicable <br /> approval criteria are satisfied. This type of application requires extensive findings.
