2. In the event of a temporary absence, a statement from the owner or aged or infirmed person <br />setting forth the date on which the aged or infirm person will return to the property. <br />a. If the aged or infirmed person does not return to the property within the time period <br />described in Section A.6., then the aged or infirm person’s absence will be deemed an extended <br />absence <br /> <br />L. The use of a hardship permit dwelling is intended to be temporary, shall be subject to review every year, <br />and shall continue to meet the above criteria in order to qualify for renewal. <br /> <br />8. Based on the available evidence, Thomas's physical circumstances constitute a hardship condition relating to the <br />aged, the infirm, or persons otherwise incapable of maintaining a complete, separate and detached residence apart <br />from their family. The evidence also indicates the proposed manufactured home would be relatively temporary in <br />nature. The requirements that a Manufactured Dwelling/RV Removal or Disconnect Agreement be filed by the <br />applicant ensures that the manufactured home will be removed from the property when the hardship ceases. <br /> <br />9. Since the property is located in an EFU zone, the proposal must also satisfy the conditional use criteria in MCC <br />17.136.060(A). Those requirements are: <br /> <br />(a) The use will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farm or forest <br />practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use. Land devoted to farm or forest use does not <br />include farm or forest use on lots or parcels upon which a non-farm or non-forest dwelling has been <br />approved and established, in exception areas approved under ORS 197.732, or in an acknowledged urban <br />growth boundary. <br />(b) Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. <br />(c) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, <br />soil and slope stability, air and water quality. <br />(d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. <br />(e) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the <br />Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive <br />Plan inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites. <br /> <br />10. This use is not expected to force or create any change in accepted farm/forest practices, criteria #9 (a) is met. This <br />parcel is served by Jefferson; criteria #9 (b) is met. This use will not have any adverse effect on surrounds <br />groundwater or wildlife, criteria #9 (c) is met. The use is not expected to create any noise that would have a <br />negative impact on nearby lands; criteria #9 (d) is met. The use is not expected to have any effect on potential <br />water impoundments and will not create any conflicts, criteria #9 (e) is met. <br /> <br />MCC 17.136.050(B) requires that a declaratory statement meeting the requirements of MCC 17.136.100(C) be <br />filed and this serves to notify the applicant and subsequent owners that there are farm or timber operations in the <br />area. <br /> <br />11. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the applicants’ request meets all applicable criteria for <br /> placing a temporary manufactured home/RV for medical hardship purposes and is, therefore, APPROVED. <br /> <br /> <br />Brandon Reich Date: December 4th, 2024 <br />Planning Director/Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this decision contact Alex Seifer at (503) 588-5038 <br /> <br />Notice to Mortgagee, Lienholder, Vendor or Seller: ORS Chapter 215 requires that if you receive this Notice, it <br />must promptly be forwarded to the purchaser.
