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 was part of the conditions of approval for CU03-029. All conditions of approval from CU03-029 are still in effect. The criterion 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 SA zone, the proposal must also satisfy the conditional use criteria in MCC 17.137.060(A). Those requirements are: (1) 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 change the occupant of an existing medical hardship dwelling. Since the date of the original approval of the medical hardship in 2003 there have not been any complaints by neighbors of negative impacts to farming operations in the surrounding area. The applicants are doing some light intensity agriculture on the property. Since the applicants are only applying to change the occupant of the hardship dwelling it is reasonable that the impacts shall not change from what they have been for the past 21 years. The criterion is met. (2) Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. The property is serviced by the Salem Suburban Fire District and Marion County Sheriff. Any other necessary rural services, such as a well and septic, are already present on the property. The criterion is met. (3) 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 applicants are not proposing any changes to the existing hardship dwelling other than the occupant. Any adverse impacts are expected to continue to be negligible and not increase from what they have been since 2005. The criterion is met. (4) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. The medical hardship is not expected to generate any noise other than typical residential noises. The criterion is met. (5) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive Plan inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites.
