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 subject parcel is located on the east side of Case Road NE about 2,000 feet south of the intersection of Yergen Road NE and Case Rd NE. The property has a 2018 replacement dwelling that replaced the original dwelling on the property and was approved in 1983 by a land use case (FD83-017). The property also has several accessory structures, and the majority of the property is in agricultural production. The parcel and the dwelling are legal for land use purposes. 3. The majority of the surrounding land use is large acreage agriculture in all directions. 4. Soil Survey of Marion County Oregon indicates 100% of the subject property is composed of high-value farm soils. 5. A signed Primary Care Provider Certificate has been submitted for Karen Arendt indicating she has medical conditions that preclude her from maintaining a completely separate and detached dwelling apart from her family.
