Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included in the land use decision.

Condition B –Following each annual rodeo parking event, remove any temporary parking signage from the River Road and Main Street public right-of-way, and sweep any residual strewn dirt and gravel from the public road and paved approach back onto the unpaved drive. Marion County Septic commented: “Access to restrooms connected to the on-site septic system may not be used for event participants. Portable toilets must be brought in for public use. Per OAR 340-071-0130(12), the absorption system should be free of vehicular traffic and any other activity that may adversely affect the drainfield. It is recommended to cordon off the drainfield area for protection and to prohibit parking and driving over both initial and repair drainfield locations.” All other commenting agencies stated no objection to the proposal. 7. In order to approve a temporary use that does not meet the limitations identified within the EFU code and other temporary uses not addressed, the use may be approved as a conditional use as provided in Chapter 17.119 MCC subject to the following criteria: 1. The temporary use is compatible with the purpose of the zone and adjacent land uses. The EFU zone promotes and protects commercial agriculture operations. The proposed use is in conjunction with the St. Paul Rodeo which directly supports farm uses as a form of agritourism and education about equine and cattle. The St. Paul Rodeo is a historical rodeo that is integral to St. Paul and many of its residents. Adjacent land uses are either farm uses or residential uses. As conditioned, the use can be compatible with them as it supports farm use, and agritourism use and supports the economic driver that the rodeo is for the town. The applicants have taken the necessary steps to ensure safety and have reached out to the St. Paul Fire District to get their feedback on the proposal. They had concerns and submitted statements to the record that the proposed car parking meets all of their standards. The criterion is met. 2. The temporary use will have adequate public services to maintain the public health and safety. The applicants have coordinated with the St. Paul Fire Department regarding this parking. The fire department is in support and submitted a letter stating that they meet all necessary fire department standards. The use is also served by the Marion County Sheriff, who is aware of the proposal. The applicants also keep a water truck onsite and irrigation lines to suppress dust. Applicants also have entrance and exit plans in place as to safely and efficiently bring cars in and out of the property. The criterion is met. 3. The operator of the temporary use has signed an agreement with the planning division regarding termination of the use consistent with the time limitations established in the conditions of approval. This shall be made a condition of approval.
