residential parcels, and 82 dwellings. The subject Property is located in the northern portion of the study area. The boundaries of the study area were drawn from all of the surrounding Assessor Maps. In the study area is the developed Enchanted Ridge Subdivision, Freeway Estates, and sub -areas 4 and 5 of the Battle Creek/Delaney Interchange Exception Areas, as approved by Marion County and the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Sub -area 4, specifically southeast of the 1-5 and Delaney Road interchange consists of the church property, and other steep parcels that were deemed to be committed to development in 1979. To the south of sub -area 4 were 33 rural residential parcels, already zoned AR, that were determined to be uncontested exception areas, see Applicant's Exhibit 105. Adjacent to the uncontested exception areas lies the subject Property. Sub -area 5 includes the subject Property, rural residential property to the west, and commercial property to the south. This area was granted an exception to the Statewide Planning Goals in 1979 because of prior approved development proposals, and pre- existing AR zoned property. Sub -area 5 was considered a highly incompatible environment for agricultural production due to the development proposals, and the heavily parcelized (AR) zoned residential property to the north and west. The subject Property is located in the middle of a vast area of highly developed small parcels, which supports and justifies the exception here. Location of urban levels of facilities and services: including at least public water and sewer facilities: There are no public sewer or water facilities that are available to serve the subject Property, or the surrounding areas. It is feasible for the subject Property to obtain an adequate supply of quality water from domestic wells, and it is feasible for the property to support on -site septic systems for the proper disposal of wastewater. The urban services in the area include Portland General Electric, Northwest Natural Gas, Wave Broadband, and Century Link, all of which provide all the necessary services to the Exception Area. The subject Propery has legal and adequate access. These services constitute an urban level of facilities and services. Parcel sizes and ownership patterns: The small parcel sizes and non -resource uses are detailed in the study area. The median parcel size is 2 acres and 91% of the parcels have dwellings. This is exactly the kind of area that is acceptable for an exception to Goals 3 and 14. The combined adjacent ownerships only serve to further justify this exception because it demonstrates that aside from the commercial properties, the combined ownerships generally follow the pattern of small parcels with non -resource dwellings, which is exactly what is proposed here. 26. Proposals to amend the comprehensive plan must be consistent with the Goals. The Applicant addressed the Goals, and the exceptions to Goals 3 and 14 are justified as proposed. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER RELEVANT STATEWIDE GOALS & GUIDELINES Goal 1: Citizen Involvement: Notice and the hearings process before the hearings officer and this Board provide an opportunity for citizen involvement. Goal 1 is satisfied. Exhibit A - Findings Case No. CP/ZC 21-005 19 4864-0600-7078, v. 3
