Further south the land is zoned CR/UT-20 and is the former site of the Woodburn Auction Yard. To the southwest are small farm parcels in a UT-20, UT-5, and Medium Density Residential (Woodburn) zone. The areas to the south and southeast are also designated High Density Residential. A service station is to the east across Highway 99E on land zoned Commercial General (CG) by Marion County but designated Industrial by the City of Woodburn. In 1989, an application was approved to expand the Woodburn Auction yard onto the subject 4.91-acre parcel (Variance Case #88-018). The approval allowed storage and sale of used farm equipment and implements, and parking on sale day, but specifically precluded placement of auction yard structures on the property. At that time, the applicant’s parcel was included in this case. In 1998 a land use case for a zone change and comprehensive plan designation change was applied for in the case ZC/CP98-013. Applicants proposed changing the comprehensive plan designation on the property from High Density Residential to Commercial and the zone from CR to CG. The CG zone would allow the owners to construct a mini-storage and inside recreational vehicle (RV) storage facility on the premises. The applicants suggested applying a limited use overlay zone (LU) to the property that would allow only the proposed ministorage/RV storage use. This would eliminate or require conditional use review of all other allowed uses. This zone change and comprehensive plan designation change was approved by the Marion County Board of Commissioners with the following direction: “A limited use overlay shall be applied to this site allowing only ministorage under MCUZO 7.01(5)42.25 and 42.26. All other allowed uses shall be subject to conditional use review.” 4. The applicants are applying for a conditional use permit to operate an automotive dealership in a CG -LU (Commercial General-Limited Use) zone. 5. Various agencies were contacted for comments. Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) commented: ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS A. Stormwater detention may be required when 0.5-acre or more of impervious surfaces are added above and beyond what is already existing. However, it does not appear that the 7 or 8 added parking spaces alone depicted on the land use application site plan would trigger that threshold. B. Transportation System Development Charges will be assessed if a Building Department Change -in- Occupancy Permit is required for converting the existing home to office use. Marion County Building Department commented: Permit(s) are required to be obtained for a change of occupancy to the existing structure prior to being open to the public for business sales. Discussion with a building plans examiner is advised prior to submitting plans or other documents for application. It appears the existing structure does not provide an accessible entrance from the designated parking area according to the site plan submitted with the conditional use application, so an accessible ramp may be required to be installed according to the 2022 Oregon Structural Specialty Code and ICC A117.1-2017. Marion County Septic commented: A septic authorization will be required per OAR 340-071-0205 due to the proposed change of use. Woodburn Fire Department commented: Reviewed documents and visited site. The two entrances do not meet the width and turning radius for fire access. Need to widen each entrance or make one entrance with meets minimum of 24' width for entry/exit and fire access or widen each separate entrance to be 20' wide. In either case the turning radius must meet 28' inside and 48' outside. Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) commented:
