Marion County Code Enforcement commented: “I support this 100%. I would like to see a condition of no dispatching of employees from the property. The approval of this CU will allow me to close a Code Enforcement case I have on the property.” All other agencies contacted either failed to respond or had no comment. 6. Since the property is located in an EFU zone, the proposal must 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 proposed home occupation involves the storage of business equipment in an accessory structure on the subject parcel. The applicants attest that the business will be conducted offsite at clients’ homes. No employees or customers will be traveling to the subject parcel. The applicants state that they do not perform any painting onsite and dispose of all paint at paint recycling facilities. The maximum number of company vehicles the applicant proposes to have on the property at one time is two, and they are owned by the applicants who reside on the property. Therefore, based on the information supplied by the applicant, this use will neither force a significant change in, nor a significant cost of, accepted farm practices on surrounding lands. The criterion is met. (b) Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. The subject parcel is served by the Aurora Fire District and the Marion County Sheriff's Department. 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. Potential adverse impacts on the watershed or groundwater would result from improper paint disposal. The applicants state they dispose of all paint supplies offsite. Furthermore, a condition of approval states that all business supplies must be stored indoors. Any spill or leak of paint would be contained within the structure, meaning there is no inherent risk to groundwater or waterways. This 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. The applicants state that no noise will be associated with the home occupation, as the services take place off the property. This lack of noise indicates no significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. 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 17.136.060 (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
