will not force a significant change in, nor significantly increase the cost of accepted farm practices in the area. No forest practices exist in the area. The Farm Impacts Test is met. 8. In addition to the conditional use criteria in the EFU zone, uses identified in MCC 17.136.050 are subject to the following criteria in MCC 17.136.060(I). 1. No enclosed structure with a design capacity greater than 100 people, or group of structures with a total design capacity of greater than 100 people, shall be approved within three miles of an urban growth boundary unless an exception is approved pursuant to OAR Chapter 660, Division 004. The subject parcel is less than three miles north of urban growth boundary of Donald. However, the applicant is not requesting a structure, or group of structures, with a design capacity of grater than 100 people. The criterion does not apply. 2. Any new enclosed structure or group of enclosed structures subject to this section shall be situated no less than one-half mile from other enclosed structures approved under OAR 660-33-130(2) on the same tract. For the purposes of this subsection, “tract” means a tract as defined in MCC 17.136.140(F) in existence on May 5, 2010. The applicant is not proposing any new enclosed structures as a part of this application. The subject property is just under 550-feet long at its largest dimension. Therefore, any new enclosed structure that could potentially be constructed would comply with this requirement. The criterion is met. 3. Existing facilities wholly within a farm use zone may be maintained, enhanced or expanded on the same tract, but existing enclosed structures within three miles of an urban growth boundary may not be expanded beyond the limits of this subsection. This shall be a condition of approval. 9. MCC 17.136.050(B) requires that a declaratory statement meeting the requirements of MCC 17.136.100(C) be filed and this serves to notify the applicant and subsequent owners that there are farm or timber operations in the area. 10. Based on the above findings, the applicant’s proposal meets the criteria for establishing a conditional use landscape contracting business in conjunction with nursery crop production in an EFU zone. The conditional use request is, therefore, APPROVED.
