The City of Salem provided the following comments regarding the subject proposal from both their Planning Division and Development Services Division: Planning Division Comments: The City of Salem Planning Division has reviewed the proposed development and has the following comments: • Zoning: The subject property is designated IND (Industrial) in the Salem Comprehensive Plan and would become IG (General Industrial), IBC (Industrial Business Campus), or IP (Industrial Park) upon annexation. • Uses: All Motor Vehicle Services except gasoline stations are permitted in the IG (General Industrial) zone, per Table 554-1 in SRC 544.005. Gasoline stations are the only permitted Motor Vehicle Service use in the IBC (Industrial Business Campus) per Table 552-1 in SRC 552.005. Motorcycle repair and Gasoline stations are permitted in the or IP (Industrial Park) zone, but all other Motor Vehicle Services are not permitted, per Table 553-1 in SRC 553.005. • Lot Standards: Per Table 554-2 in SRC 554.010(a), there is no minimum lot area, lot width, or lot depth in the IG zone. There is a 16-foot street frontage requirement for all uses aside from single family. Currently, this lot exceeds the 16-foot street frontage standard. • Development Site Standards: If at such time the property was annexed into the City, the following standards would be applicable to the development. If the proposal does not conform to these standards, the site would be considered non-conforming at time of annexation: o Per Table 554-4 in SRC 554.010, a minimum 10-foot setback from all industrial zoned properties is required. These setbacks must be landscaped with Type C landscaping. This standard is met along the property lines to the west and north. There is no landscaping in the required setback along the eastern property line. o Vehicle use areas abutting a street shall be setback and landscaped according to one of the methods set forth in SRC 806.035(2). This standard is not currently met. o Per SRC 806.040(e)(2), all driveways shall be paved with a hard surface material. Paving is not required for: Driveways providing access to gravel outdoor storage areas within the IG zone; provided the first section of the driveway leading into the property from the street, as measured from the property line abutting the street, is paved with a hard surface material to a depth that is equal to the width of the driveway. This standard is not met. o As provided in Table 806-9 in SRC 806.055(a), the Motor Vehicle Services use requires one bicycle parking space per 9,000 square feet. This property would require 23 bicycle parking spaces to conform to this standard (207,781 / 9,000 = 23.09). o SRC 800.065 requires pedestrian access standards for all nonresidential developments. Adherence to the pedestrian access standards put forth in SRC 800.065 is required. This standard is currently not met.
