follow the east-west line of the naturally occurring stream that traverses the parcel, this configuration will allow the Carr family to expand their agricultural use onto land that is not currently being maintained. It should be noted that tax lot 1300 does not currently qualify for special tax exemption for agricultural use – per the Marion County Tax Accessor’s Office. The resulting configuration will still be suitable for commercial agricultural use in the future. The criterion is met. 4. A property line adjustment may not be used to: a. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common property line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains an existing dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; b. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for construction of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; c. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard; or d. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is larger than the size granted by the waiver. Tax lot 1300, which is the parcel of land decreasing in size as a result of the proposal, does not contain a dwelling or have an approval for the construction of a dwelling; No approval for a dwelling based on an acreage standard would be possible as a result of the proposal; and finally, none of the parcels involved in the proposal were created by a Measure 49 waiver. Therefore, the criteria 4a-d are met. 5. Any property line adjustment that results in an existing dwelling being located on a different parcel shall not be subject to the standards in MCC 17.136.030(A) so long as the adjustment: a. Does not increase any adverse impacts on the continued practice of commercial agriculture on the resulting parcels; b. Does not increase the potential number of dwellings on the resulting parcels; and c. Does not allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard. No dwelling will be located on a different lot or parcel as a result of this proposal. The criterion does not apply. 8. Under MCC 17.172.120(E) Property line adjustment deeds shall be recorded with the Marion County Clerk’s office prior to submitting the property line adjustment survey, if a survey is required. Deed recording reference numbers shall be noted on the required survey. 9. The resulting lots shall significantly conform to the site plan submitted with the proposal. Minor variations are permitted upon review and approval of the Planning Director. 10. Based on the above findings, the applicants’ proposal meets the criteria for a property line adjustment in an EFU zone. The property line adjustment request is, therefore, APPROVED.
