The subject property is designated Primary Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan and correspondingly zoned EFU (Exclusive Farming Use).The purpose of the EFU zone is to provide areas for continued practice of commercial agriculture. These areas are generally well suited for large-scale farming. The EFU zone is also intended to allow other uses that are compatible with agricultural activities, to protect forests, scenic resources and fish and wildlife habitat, and to maintain and improve the quality of air, water and land resources of the county. 2. The property is located on the southeast side of the intersection of Ingalls Lane NE and Highway 99E. Tax Lot 1001 is developed with two agricultural exempt structures used for agricultural products storage. Lot 1001 was described in its current configuration by deed on December 10, 1976 (Reel 362, Page 995) and has remained in this configuration. Therefore, the parcel is considered legal for land use purposes. The subject parcel has two ten-thousand square foot agricultural exempt (ag-ex) buildings that were approved in 2020. (Reel 4296, Page 239). The applicant states that these structures are currently in use as hazelnut storage buildings. In addition, there is a construction trailer and numerous semi-truck trailers parked on the parcel. The site also was issued a septic permit to connect the ag-ex buildings to a septic system. 3. The surrounding uses are a mix of agricultural activities and retail commercial operations on exclusive farm use (EFU) land. To the immediate north across Ingalls Lane NE at 12387 Ingalls LN NE is a farm stand. North of that property is a truck parts sales and salvage business. Across Highway 99E at 17207 Highway 99E is a property that was given a land use permit in 2004 (CU04-049) to operate a motorcycle and ATV repair business. Across Highway 99E from the subject parcel at 17127 Highway 99E is the Bar None Auction House that was permitted through land use case CU20-012 in 2020 to operate an auction business to sell farm equipment.
