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 $200) on the basis of new information subject to signing an extension of the 150-day time limit for review of zoning applications.

The property is designated Rural Residential in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this designation and the corresponding AR (Acreage Residential) zone is to allow creation of acreage homesites at a density that maintains the character and environmental quality of rural residential areas. 2. The subject parcels are situated at the end of Scottish Highland Ln, approximately 900 feet east of Scottish Highlands’ intersection with Battle Creek Rd. The topography of both parcels have gently sloped landscapes containing both grassy fields and wooded areas. Both parcels were created in partition case P88-062 and have not changed their configuration since. The parcels are considered legal for land use purposes. 3. Adjacent properties consist of AR zoned parcels, all being similar in size to the subject parcels. All properties consist of acreage home sites. 4. The applicant proposes to partition a 6.25-acre parcel to create three parcels consisting of 2.0-acres, 2.0-acres, and 2.25-acres.
