The subject property is designated Special Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this designation and the corresponding SA zone is to promote the continuation of commercial agricultural and forestry operations. A temporary manufactured dwelling or RV under hardship conditions may be approved as a conditional use provided the need is justified and the residence will not have a detrimental impact upon the existing or potential farming and timber activity in the area. 2. The property is located at 4756 Riverside Rd S on the south side of Riverside Rd roughly 2,000 feet northwest of where Riverside Rd intersects with Fox Ln. The property is developed with a 2001 manufactured dwelling and 3 large accessory structures. The parcel also contains a woodlot and open areas utilized for growing crops. The entirety of the subject parcel is located within an area designated by Marion County’s Geohazards overlay as having a low risk for landslide (Geohazard level 3). This is not a level that requires a geological assessment prior to development with a manufactured home for a hardship. The subject property was created as part of land use case P81-017 and has not changed its configuration since. Therefore it is legal for land use purposes. 3. Surrounding uses include a mixture of large, wooded parcels, large fields engaged in commercial agriculture, and a number of smaller parcels in use as rural residences. All surrounding parcels are either zoned SA or EFU (exclusive farm use).
