The rural residential uses allowed here will not commit adjacent or nearby resource land to uses not allowed by the applicable goal as described in OAR 660-004-0028. The uses proposed here will be a total of no more than 3 parcels with non -resource dwellings, given the shape of the Homesites, the current roads, and current subdivision lots. The density will be just over 2 acres, which is very close to the median size of parcels in the study area. No public facilities or services will be required, as the water will be provided by individual wells, and waste will be disposed of by individual septic systems. This rule focuses on adjacent or nearby resource lands, that is lands available for agricultural production. All of the lands to the north, west and south are planned, zoned and developed for rural residential and commercial use, and therefore are not available for agripultural production. To the east is EFU, however, the steep slopes on the eastern edge of the Property prohibit the K2A, LLC property (TL 302) immediately adjacent to the Property, to be used for agricultural production. As noted above, the areas directly adjacent to the Homesites are also within sub area #5 of the Battle Creek Delaney Road Interchange exception area. The adjacent properties, within the `Enchanted Ridge" neighborhood, were granted an exception at the request of Marion County due to the preliminary approval of a subdivision (Sunnyside Heights) on the 134 acres, in 1973; the property owner (Updegrave) subsequently agreed to reduce the number of lots in the development, and the corresponding exception area down to 44 acres in 1980. The adjacent lands are heavily developed with both residential and commercial uses. To the north, the previously approved exception area within the "Enchanted Ridge" neighborhood has been fully developed with residential sites that are between one (1) and three (3) acres in size. Outside of the Enchanted Ridge neighborhood, lands immediately adjacent to the north are smaller residential properties that average less than an acre in size and are similarly developed with residential homes accessing off of Maranatha Ct. SE, Bear Creek Lane SE, and Lavender Lane SE. All of -these homes eventually connect to Enchanted Way SE and to Delaney Road at the Delaney Road I - 5 Interchange. To the west are lands that are zoned AR and developed with residential uses. Further west lies Interstate 5. To the south and further west are lands developed for commercial uses including mini storage units, a tiny home development with more than 90 individual developed parcels, and Enchanted Forest, a theme park that draws significant crowds during the summer months. Further south along Enchanted Way SE is Willamette Valley Vineyards, which similarly draws regional traffic to its tasting room as well as events that take place on their property. To the northwest of the Property is a private school and a Buddhist temple, both of which serve large groups throughout the region. These uses draw extensive traffic to the area by virtue of regionality of many of the surrounding uses as well as the extensive residential development in the area. To the east are lands devoted to commercial farm uses and consist of larger parcels abutting Parrish Gap Road SE. These lands are physically separated from the Exception Areas by steep slopes, that cannot be safely farmed. The elevation difference between the Exception Areas (520') and the EFU zoned parcels along Parrish Gap Road (330') is approximately 190'.
