generate large amounts of traffic that would exceed the capacity of the roads accessing the site. Therefore the criterion is met. (b) If the use will remain after the area is urbanized it will be located in such a manner that any significant unused portion of the property has adequate development options. The proposed use of the site will render much of the property as an open lot for car parking. Most of the development would be the surfacing of the property required for the use. As such, the parcel will be open or unused portion of the property would still have significant development potential. Therefore the criterion is met. (c) The use and related structures and improvements meet the development standards of the most restrictive zone consistent with the applicable comprehensive plan designation; or the city concurs and, if the city requests, conditions are imposed that require the structures and improvements to be brought into confor- mance with city zoning regulations upon annexation. The most restrictive zone used in the applicable Comprehensive Plan designation is the IC (Industrial Commercial) zone. As referenced in the IC zone code 16.09.100, the development standards of chapters 16.26 through 16.34 are applicable to all lots, structure and uses. MCC 16.26.580 lists development requirements for uses that are under the classification of SIC 75, which includes both towing services and automobile dismantlers. The standards outlined under this section, and all those applicable in the other aforementioned sections, shall be made a condition of approval so that the new uses and improvements on the subject parcel are compliant with the development standards of the most restrictive zone allowed under the Comprehensive Plan designation. The City of Salem also provided comments regarding development standards under their code. Some of these sections were specifically requested to be made conditions of approval as part of the development, mostly in relation to sufficient upgrades to the property access connecting to Timbet Dr, a road under the jurisdiction of the City of Salem. The standards specifically requested to be conditioned shall be made conditions of approval. All other standards shall be recommended to the applicants, but not required as conditions of approval. Subject to completion of all conditioned development requirements, the criterion can be met. (d) The most restrictive zone used in the applicable Comprehensive Plan designation lists the proposed use as a permitted or conditional use; or the city concurs and, if the city requests, conditions are imposed which require that the use be brought into conformance with city zoning regulations upon annexation. The most restrictive zone used in the applicable Comprehensive Plan designation is the IC (Industrial Commercial) zone. The IC zone lists SIC 75 as a permitted use within the zone, which the proposed uses were determined to fit under. Also, the City of Salem provided comments regarding uses and potential future zones that are consistent with their comprehensive plan designation and uses that are allowed within those zones. The proposed uses of a towing business and automobile dismantler would both be permitted within at least one of the potential zones. Therefore the criterion is met. 8. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the request satisfies all applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
