temporary residence is located further than 250 feet from adjacent lands planned and zoned for resource use <br />under Goals 3, 4, or both. <br />This hardship is not related to a natural hazard event. The criterion does not apply. <br />8. Since the property is located in an FT zone, the proposal must also satisfy the conditional use criteria in MCC <br />17.139.060(A). Those requirements are: <br />A. The use will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farm or forest <br />practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use. Land devoted to farm or forest use does not include <br />farm or forest use on lots or parcels upon which a non-farm or non-forest dwelling has been approved and <br />established, in exception areas approved under ORS 197.732, or in an acknowledged urban growth boundary. <br />The applicants are proposing to change the occupant of an existing medical hardship dwelling. Since its initial <br />approval in 2016, there have been no reported impacts from the hardship dwelling to neighboring farmlands. It is <br />reasonable to assume that the impacts shall not change from what they have been for the past 9 years with a <br />change in occupant. The criterion is met. <br />B. Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. <br />The property is serviced by the Silverton District and Marion County Sheriff. Any other necessary rural services, <br />such as a well and septic, are already present on the property. The criterion is met. <br />C. The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and <br />slope stability, air and water quality. <br />The applicants are not proposing any changes to the existing hardship dwelling other than the occupant. Any <br />adverse impacts are expected to continue to be negligible and not increase from what they have been since 2016. <br />The criterion is met. <br />D. Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. <br />The medical hardship is not expected to generate any noise other than typical residential noises. The criterion is <br />met. <br />E. The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the <br />Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive Plan <br />inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites. <br />There are no nearby water impoundment or mineral and aggregate sites for the hardship dwelling to adversely <br />affect. The criterion is met. <br />9. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the request to amend the approved occupants as listed in <br />CU16-031 meets all applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED. <br /> <br /> <br />Brandon Reich Date: July 16th, 2025 <br />Planning Director/Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this decision contact Austin Barnes at (503) 566-4165. <br /> <br />Notice to Mortgagee, Lienholder, Vendor or Seller: ORS Chapter 215 requires that if you receive this Notice, it must <br />promptly be forwarded to the purchaser.
