NOTICE OF DECISION ADJUSTMENT CASE NO. 25-002 APPLICATION: Application of Joseph & Diana Barros for an adjustment to the guest house standards to allow a guest house inside of a building larger than 600 square feet on an 0.80-acre property in an EFU (Exclusive Farm Use) zone located at 8355 Wheatland Rd N, Keizer (T6S; R3W; Section 23AB; Tax lot 900). DECISION: The Planning Director for Marion County has APPROVED the above-listed Adjustment application subject to certain conditions. EXPIRATION DATE: This adjustment is valid only when exercised by April 10th, 2027 (two years). The effective period of an approved application may be extended for an additional year subject to approval of an extension (form available from the Planning Division). Additional extensions may not be granted if the regulations under which this decision was granted have changed since the original approval. WARNING: A decision approving the proposed uses is for land use purposes only. Due to septic, well and drain field replacement areas, this parcel may not be able to support the proposed activities. To be sure the subject property can accommodate the proposed use the applicant needs to check with the Building Inspection Division, (503) 588-5147. This decision does not include approval of a building permit. CONDITIONS: The following conditions must be met before a building permit can be obtained or the approved use established: 1. The applicant shall obtain all permits required by the Marion County Building Inspection Division. 2. The applicant shall contact Marion County Septic for a septic system evaluation and all necessary permits to expand or upgrade the septic system, and be in compliance with all Marion County Septic requirements. 3. The guest house shall take up no more than 600 square feet of the accessory building. 4. Failure to continuously comply with the conditions of approval may result in this approval being revoked. Any revocation could be appealed to the county hearings officer for a public hearing. OTHER PERMITS, FEES, AND RESTRICTIONS: This approval does not remove or affect any covenants or restrictions imposed on the subject property by deed or other instrument. The proposed use may require permits and/or fees from other local, State or Federal agencies. This decision does not take the place of, or relieve the responsibility for, obtaining other permits or satisfying any restrictions or conditions thereon. It is recommended that the agencies mentioned in the Findings and Conclusions section below be contacted to identify restrictions or necessary permits. The applicant is advised of the following: 5. The applicant should contact Marion County Fire District #1 at (503) 588-6513 and obtain a copy of the District’s Recommended Building Access and Identification Guidelines. For personal and property safety it is recommended that the applicant follow these guidelines. Fire District access standards may be more restrictive than County Standards. APPEAL PROCEDURE: The Marion County Zone Code provides that certain applications be considered first by the County Planning Director. If there is any doubt that the application conforms with adopted land use policies and regulations 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 Marion County hearings officer after a public hearing. The applicant may also request reconsideration (one time only and a fee of $250) on the basis of new information subject to signing an extension of the 150-day time limit for review of zoning applications.
