resistive materials may be required to be installed on exterior walls of existing structures. Permit(s) would be required to be obtained prior to this work.” Marion County Tax Accessor provided comments about the taxes on the properties. All other contacted agencies stated no objection to the proposal. 6. The criteria for reviewing property line adjustments within a UT-5 zone are listed in Chapter 16.13.310 of the Marion County Code. These criteria are as follows: B. The following regulations shall apply when property line adjustments and partitioning of land regulated by Chapter 16.33 MCC, Subdivision and Partition Requirements, are proposed: 1. Additional street right-of-way required by adopted county standards shall be dedicated along the street frontage of any lot 10 acres or less in area that is part of a partition or lot line adjustment. Street and drainage improvements within the dedicated right-of-way shall be deferred until otherwise required by the county, or by the city following annexation. A nonremonstrance agreement for future road or drainage improvements within the right-of-way abutting the lot may be required. Center St NE is a paved urban road designated as major arterial in the City of Salem’s Street Classification system within the urban growth boundary of Salem, as such Center St NE meets its right-of-way width requirements. While the applicants have not addressed any potential frontage upgrade requirements, no street improvements have been requested by any agency providing comments. The criterion does not apply. 2. The location of lot lines shall not significantly reduce feasible options for the future location of urban streets or utility services, or preclude development options on the property or adjacent properties. The proposed lot line adjustment will not reduce the options for future urban streets or utilities as the stated intention of the property owners is to continue to use the land in the same manner currently being conducted and not reduce the amount of undeveloped land within the two lots. The frontage of the two lots to Center St NE is not being altered in this proposal, thus options for the location of future utility services or urban streets will not be impacted. The criterion is met. 3. When a lot occupied by a residence is reduced, or a lot is created to accommodate a new residence allowed in MCC 16.13.320, the lot should be as small as possible and should not be larger than one acre. If a lot of one acre or less is not feasible, the lot should either contain all of the undeveloped land or be large enough that the urban development potential will be a significant incentive for the owner to develop to planned urban uses when the lot is annexed. Both lots involved in the property line adjustment currently contain a dwelling. No new dwellings are being proposed and the existing parcels predate modern planning efforts. Tax lot 1200 will be increased by approximately 0.12 acres from under one acre to just over one acre. Tax lot 1300 will be made approximately 0.12 acres smaller and still remain over one acre. The criterion is met. 4. When a new or adjusted lot located in a residential plan designation is smaller than five acres and larger than one acre, a redevelopment plan shall be required demonstrating that the lot can accommodate future subdivision development at the median density proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning administrator shall review and approve the redevelopment plan. The redevelopment plan is only for the purposes of identifying a feasible means to subdivide the property and to identify an appropriate location for residences, and does not limit consideration of other development options when urban services are available.
