a. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common property <br />line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains an existing <br />dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant tract would be <br />increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant <br />tract for a dwelling; <br /> <br />b. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for construction <br />of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting vacant tract would <br />be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant <br />tract for a dwelling; <br /> <br />c. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used <br />to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage <br />standard; or <br /> <br />d. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 <br />waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is larger <br />than the size granted by the waiver. <br /> <br />No lot will be increased larger than the minimum parcel size. Though the lot with an existing dwelling is <br />decreasing in size, the lot without a dwelling will not be increased to a size to qualify for an dwelling . <br />Neither parcel can qualify for a dwelling because of this property line adjustment, and neither parcel was <br />the subject of a Measure 49 Claim. The criterion does not apply. <br /> <br />E. Any property line adjustment that results in an existing dwelling being located on a different parcel shall <br />not be subject to the standards in MCC 17.137.030(A) so long as the adjustment: <br /> <br />a. Does not increase any adverse impacts on the continued practice of commercial agriculture on the <br />resulting parcels; <br /> <br />b. Does not increase the potential number of dwellings on the resulting parcels; and <br /> <br />c. Does not allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to <br />be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage <br />standard. <br /> <br />The subject properties will not qualify for a dwelling based on the proposed acreage of the properties. No <br />dwelling will be located on a different resulting parcel. The proposed property line adjustment will not have any <br />adverse impact on commercial agriculture, as commercial farming potential will be maximized by this property <br />line adjustment. The criterion is met. <br /> <br />8. Under MCC 17.172.120(E) Property line adjustment deeds shall be recorded with the Marion County clerk’s <br />office prior to submitting the property line adjustment survey, if a survey is required. Deed recording reference <br />numbers shall be noted on the required survey. <br /> <br />9. The resulting lots shall significantly conform to the site plan submitted with the proposal. Minor variations are <br />permitted upon review and approval of the Planning Director. <br /> <br />10. Based on the above findings, the applicants’ proposal meets the criteria for a property line adjustment in an SA <br />zone. The property line adjustment request is, therefore, APPROVED. <br /> <br /> <br />Brandon Reich Date: April 2nd, 2025 <br />Planning Director/Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this decision, contact Gillian Peden at (503) 588-5038. <br /> <br />Notice to Mortgagee, Lienholder, Vendor or Seller: ORS Chapter 215 requires that if you receive this Notice, it must <br />promptly be forwarded to the purchaser.
