The criteria for reviewing lot line adjustments within an SA zone are listed in Chapter 17.137.090(C) MCC. These criteria are as follows: 1. When one or more lots or parcels subject to a proposed property line adjustment are larger than the minimum parcel size pursuant to subsection (A)(1) of this section, the same number of lots or parcels shall be as large or larger than the minimum parcel size after the adjustment. When all lots or parcels subject to the proposed adjustment are as large or larger than the minimum parcel size, no lot or parcel shall be reduced below the applicable minimum parcel size. If all lots or parcels are smaller than th e minimum parcel size before the property line adjustment, the minimum parcel size pursuant to this section does not apply to those lots or parcels. None of the lots or parcels involved in the proposal are larger than the minimum parcel size of 80 -acres nor will any be brought above 80-acres as a result of the proposal. The criterion does not apply. 2. If the minimum parcel size in subsection (A)(1) of this section is larger than 80 acres, and a lot or parcel subject to property line adjustment is smaller than the minimum parcel size but larger than 80 acres, the lot or parcel shall not be reduced in size through property line adjustment to less than 80 acres. None of the lots or parcels involved in the proposal are larger than 80-acres or will be brought up above 80-acres by the proposal. The criterion does not apply. 3. Any property line adjustment shall result in a configuration of lots or parcels that are at least as suitable for commercial agriculture as were the parcels prior to the adjustment. The applicants are proposing the adjustment to allow for farm equipment access to the top of the ridge. This will increase the ability of the larger parcel owned by Willamette Valley Vineyards to be operated as part of a farming operation. As a side benefit, the other applicants will be able to expand their driveway access to the house. The criterion is met. 4. A property line adjustment may not be used to: a.
