If there is any doubt that the application conforms with adopted land use policies and regula- tions the Director must condition or deny the application. Anyone who disagrees with the Director's decision may request that the application be considered by a County hearings officer after a public hearing. The applicant may also request reconsideration (one time only and a fee of $200) on the basis of new information subject to signing an extension of the 150 day time limit for review of zoning applications. A public hearing is held on appeals subject to the appellant paying a $250.00 fee. Requests for reconsideration, or consideration by a hearings officer, must be in writing (form available from the Planning Division) and received in the Planning Division, 5155 Silverton Rd.

The subject property is designated Public in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this designation and the corresponding Public (P) zone is to provide regulations governing the development of lands appropriate for specific public and semi-public uses and to ensure their compatibility with adjacent uses. 2. The subject parcel is located at 23215 Airport Rd NE, within the Aurora Airport. The parcel is mostly flat and vacant except for a structure on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to Airport Rd NE. The property was a subject of a property line adjustment in 2020 (PLA20-038) and has existed in its current configuration since then. The subject parcel is therefore legal for land use purposes. 3. Adjacent parcels north, west, and south of the subject parcel are zoned Public and part of the Aurora Airport. North and South of the subject parcel are other properties devoted to airport uses. Directly east is a field north of the Aurora Airport runway. To the east across Airport Rd NE is Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) zoned land in active farm use. 4. The applicant proposes to establish two new aircraft hangers on the subject parcel. Proposed Hanger A will be built as an addition to an existing structure on the property and will add 28,560 square feet to that structure. Proposed Hanger B will be built directly east of Hanger A, and 36,400 square feet in size. 5. Various agencies were contacted with requests for comments. Marion County Septic submitted extensive comments that are included in the case file and have been sent to the applicant. Many items must be addressed before septic approval. Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included in the land use decision. ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS A. Access work will be required in conjunction with development. Specifically, the middle access including graveled area (less 5-foot shoulder) leading up to the north access shall be removed and ditch cross-section restored. The south access shall be paved. The north access may remain as-is since it serves a 40-ft wide NWN utility access easement, but the gate is to remain secured when not in active use. B. Stormwater detention is required at 0.5-acre or more of development and/or redevelopment. Post- construction stormwater quality treatment is not required. C. Transportation System Development Charges will be assessed at the time of application for building permits. D. Utility service extension work in the Airport Road public R/W requires separate permitting with PW Engineering. ENGINEERING ADVISORY
