The subject property is designated primary agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this designation and the corresponding EFU (Exclusive Farm Use) zone is to promote the continuation of commercial agricultural and forestry operations. A temporary manufactured home/RV under hardship conditions may be approved as a conditional use provided the need is justified and the residence will not have a detrimental impact upon the existing or potential farming and timber activity in the area. 2. The property is located at 6794 Fruitland Rd NE and is approximately 0.5 miles east of its intersection with 63rd Avenue NE. The property contains a 1942 farmhouse and several additional structures. The property was described in its current configuration in a deed dated July 17th, 1979, recorded on Reel 175, Page 1877 in the Book of Land Records in Marion County Oregon. This case does not conclusively determine the legality of the lot. Evidence shows that the lot has been in its current configuration since 1979, therefor solely for the purpose of granting the conditional use medical hardship dwelling, the lot is being determined to be legal. 3. The subject parcel is surrounded by EFU zoned land consisting of lots smaller than 10 acres with some parcels under 5-acres and many under 1-acre. There is evidence that most of the larger surrounding parcels are engaged in agricultural uses. 4. Soil Survey of Marion County Oregon indicates 98% of the subject property is composed of high-value farm soils.
