(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 most likely potential adverse impact on the watershed or groundwater would result from cooling fluids and cutting oils. The machining work will be within an accessory structure so in the event of issues like leaking oil or coolant, these chemicals will be contained within the structure for cleanup without risk of soaking into the ground or being rinsed toward waterways by rain. Proper disposal of used coolants and oils shall be a condition of approval. The criterion is met. (d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. Any noise generated by the proposed use will be confined to the interior of the building. The criterion is met. (e) 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. There are neither water impoundments nor aggregate sites in the area surrounding the subject parcel. The criterion is met. 7. Notwithstanding MCC 17.110.270 and 17.120.075, home occupations, including the parking of vehicles in conjunction with the home occupation and bed and breakfast inns, are subject to the following criteria in MCC 17.136.60 (C): (a) A home occupation or bed and breakfast inn shall be operated by a resident of the dwelling on the property on which the business is located. Including residents, no more than five full-time or part-time persons shall work in the home occupation (“person” includes volunteer, nonresident employee, partner or any other person). The applicant attests that they will be the operators and only employees of the proposed home occupation. The criterion is met. (b) It shall be operated substantially in: i. The dwelling; or ii. Other buildings normally associated with uses permitted in the zone in which the property is located. The applicant proposes utilizing an existing accessory structure to house the machine tools and do all related work. Accessory structures like the barn proposed to house the machinery are permitted and normally associated with rural residences, and farm residences in the EFU zone. The criterion is met. (c) It shall not unreasonably interfere with other uses permitted in the zone in which the property is located. The proposed home occupation’s impact on the subject parcel is the use of a portion of the floor space within an accessory structure, and the delivery and pick up of materials and finished products by standard small package shippers (USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.) on and off the property. Because of the low volume of orders, and the offsite sales, the proposed use will not significantly increase levels of traffic relative to normal rural residential and farm traffic. Apart from the traffic, there are not expected to be other impacts on adjacent uses, nor uses permitted in the EFU zone where the property is located. Lacking significant foreseeable impacts, the proposed use shall not unreasonably interfere with other uses permitted in the zone. The criterion is met, and shall be a continuous condition of approval.
