The current parcel has a dwelling and associated accessory buildings that occupy approximately three and a half acres with the remaining property undeveloped. There are no known non-residential uses on the entire 20-acres. The parcels, without the current dwelling, shall be conditioned as non-buildable until annexed. Based on these findings the criterion does not apply. 7. The minimum lot size, in acres, for lots in nonresidential plan designations is the numerical suffix added to the UT zone (i.e., one acre, three acres, five acres, 10 acres or 20 acres), or if no suffix is added, five acres. This parcel has a residential plan designation, and no new dwellings will be permitted prior to annexation. The criterion is met. 7. In order to approve the adjustment, the criteria found in Chapter 16.41.030 of the Marion County Code (MCC) must be satisfied. These include: A. The proposed development will not have a significant adverse impact upon adjacent existing or planned uses and development; and The applicants are applying to partition a 20-acre lot into three parcels consisting of 15.36, 4.29 and 0.73-acres each with the eventual purpose of developing the land into a subdivision which is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the adjacent subdivisions which will not have an adverse effect on planned uses and development. This is land for residences and does not produce emissions or other adverse impacts. The criterion is met. B. The adjustment will not have a significant adverse effect upon the health or safety of persons working or residing in the vicinity; and The current adjacent land uses are residential and some small-scale farming activities. This partition will create additional home sites and bring infrastructure such as roads and stormwater management to the vicinity. These actions are not expected to have any net, adverse, effects on the health or safety of local residents or employees. The criterion is met. C. The adjustment is the minimum necessary to achieve the purpose of the adjustment and is the minimum necessary to permit development of the property for the proposed use; and The adjustment to the minimum lot dimension on Parcel 2 will allow for the future development of the area in accordance with the redevelopment plans submitted with the application and creates adequate distance between roadways as future development occurs. The criterion is met. D. The intent and purpose of the specific provision to be adjusted is clearly inapplicable under the circumstances; or the proposed development maintains the intent and purpose of the provision to be adjusted. The adjustment to the minimum lot dimension on Parcel 2 will allow the applicants and future developers to create lots suitable for dwelling sites and allow for adequate roadway distances when new infrastructure is developed. This adjustment accomplishes these goals; therefore, the criterion is met. 8. Based on the above findings, the request complies with the applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
