K. At the time of renewal of a hardship dwelling permit, if the aged or infirm person has been on a temporary absence or medically necessary absence from the property for at least 30 consecutive days prior to submission of the renewal application, the application must include: 1. In the event of a medically necessary absence, an assessment by a licensed medical professional stating that it is reasonably likely that the aged or infirm person will return to the property within the renewal period; or 2. In the event of a temporary absence, a statement from the owner or aged or infirmed person setting forth the date on which the aged or infirm person will return to the property. If the aged or infirmed person does not return to the property within the time period described in subsection (A)(5) of this section, then the aged or infirm person’s absence will be deemed an extended absence. This shall be a condition of approval. The criteria is met. L. The use of a hardship permit dwelling is intended to be temporary, shall be subject to review every year, and shall continue to meet the above criteria in order to qualify for renewal. This shall be a condition of approval. The criteria is met. M. For hardships in a resource zone based on a natural hazard event, the temporary residence may include a recreational vehicle or the temporary residential use of an existing building when the temporary residence is established within an existing building if the hardship is located within 100 feet of the primary residence or the temporary residence is located further than 250 feet from adjacent lands planned and zoned for resource use under Goals 3, 4, or both. This hardship is not related to a natural hazard event. The criterion does not apply. 8. Since the property is located in an EFU zone, the proposal must also satisfy the conditional use criteria in MCC 17.136.060(A). Those requirements are: (a) The use will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farm or forest practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use. Land devoted to farm or forest use does not include farm or forest use on lots or parcels upon which a non-farm or non-forest dwelling has been approved and established, in exception areas approved under ORS 197.732, or in an acknowledged urban growth boundary. The applicants are proposing to use a RV as a temporary medical hardship dwelling. The temporary nature of this dwelling will not increase property values, nor create interference that could increase the cost of accepted farm practices. The criterion is met. (b) Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. The property is served by the Marion County Fire District No. 1and Marion County Sheriff’s Department. Any other necessary rural services, such as a well and septic, are already present on the property. The criterion is met. (c) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and slope stability, air and water quality. The site where the applicants are proposing to place the RV dwelling is the northern portion of the property adjacent to the existing primary dwelling and accessory buildings. This parcel has not been identified as a fish and wildlife habitat. The proposed site is not within a geohazard overlay, nor within a Sensitive Ground Water Overlay (SGO) zone. Any potential adverse impacts are expected to be negligible. The criterion is met. (d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses.
