Z. Transfer of property: Any approval is only for the property owner at the time of application. If the property is subsequently sold or transferred to another person or entity, the new property owner must indicate review and acceptance of the conditions of the land use approval prior to operating the business. The applicant understands and acknowledges this. The criterion is met. AA. Annual submittal: Event business approvals must be renewed every year subject to the property owner providing the following information: 5. Evidence of the annual renewal of permits required by other agencies and departments. 6. A log of events held the prior calendar year. 7. Any revisions to the site plan or parking and traffic circulation plan or both. Such revisions may be subject to review and approval by the Planning Director and Public Works Director for consistency with the home occupation event business approval. 8. Evidence that the property continues to be subject to special assessment for farm use. The applicant understands and acknowledges the need to renew this permit each year subject to the above criteria. They state they will provide a log of events each year, provide any site plan updates that are necessary and evidence that the property is still receiving farm tax deferral. The criterion is met. 8. In addition to the specific criteria above, 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 use is not expected to force any change in the above characteristics as it will be buffered to the farmland and is taking place in existing structures that will further buffer the use, including sound and lights. The events are self-contained on the property as is the parking limiting impacts to neighboring parcels. The area is predominately grass seed, hay and Christmas tree crop, which are not labor intensive farm uses and will be less susceptible to conflicts with the proposed event business. The applicants are farmers themselves and have an understanding of the area and farm practices and should be able to hold the events in a manner that is not disruptive to the neighbors and farm operations. 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 Stayton Fire Department and the Marion County Sheriff. 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 use is primarily contained inside and does not produce outputs (chemicals, substances) that are harmful to the above categories. The criterion is met. (d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. The applicant does proposed to use sound amplification but with the events primarily happening inside and thousands of feet away from other dwellings, there does not appear to be potential for adverse effects due to noise. Additionally, it will need to be shut off by 10pm each event. The criterion is met.
