(c) The proposed dwelling is not prohibited by and will comply with land use regulations and other provisions of law including Sections 110.830 through 110.836. The proposal meets the provisions stated above that are found in the General Provisions section of the MCC 17.110.830 – 17.110.836 as it is not within 1,500 feet of an aggregate site, nor will a dwelling have an adverse impact of natural areas, noise impacts or wildlife habitats where the area is already developed with dwellings. The criterion is met. (d) The dwelling will be consistent with the density policy if located in the big game habitat area identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The parcel is located within the Major Big Game Habitat Overlay, as such, it will have to meet a density policy of one dwelling unit per 80 acres, when a 640-acre circle is centered on the proposed home site. The density standard provides: 5. Development density shall be controlled so that significant wildlife habitat will not be adversely affected in the County’s resource zones. The standards for dwelling density in big game habitat, as identified on the habitat maps, shall be: one dwelling unit/80 acres in major habitat; one dwelling unit/40 acres in peripheral habitat. If dwellings are clustered within 200 feet of each other, these densities may be doubled. This density analysis was submitted with the application and shows 15 dwellings within the study area. The limit would be 8, but this can be doubled to 16 when clustered with an adjacent dwelling. The applicants are clustering the dwelling and as such, may place their dwelling as the 16th dwelling within the circle. The criterion is met. 8.

The special setback in subsection (a)(2)(A) of this section shall not be applied in a manner that prohibits dwellings approved pursuant to ORS 195.300 to 195.336 nor should the special setback in subsection (a)(2)(A) of this section prohibit a claimant’s application for homesites under ORS 195.300 to 195.336.
