3. Any property line adjustment shall result in a configuration of lots or parcels that are at least as suitable <br />for commercial agriculture as were the parcels prior to the adjustment. <br /> <br />Both parcels east of Silver Falls Dr is in active farm operation, but the land is split between two separate <br />parcels. The applicant is intending to consolidate this land to increase the suitability for commercial <br />agriculture. The criterion is met. <br /> <br />4. A property line adjustment may not be used to: <br />a. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common <br />property line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains <br />an existing dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant <br />tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to <br />qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; <br />b. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for <br />construction of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting <br />vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger tha n the minimum tract size <br />required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; <br />c. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be <br />used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an <br />acreage standard; or <br />d. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 <br />waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is <br />larger than the size granted by the waiver. <br /> <br />The proposal does not adjust any of the parcels in a way that would qualify one for a new dwelling. All <br />parcels are below the minimum lot size for the EFU Zone, and one of the parcels already contains a <br />dwelling. The unimproved parcel will not be increased to a size that would qualify it for a dwelling, thus <br />satisfying criteria a, b, and c. Finally, none of the lots were created by a partition authorized by Measure <br />49, so d is satisfied. The criterion is met. <br /> <br />5. Any property line adjustment that results in an existing dwelling being located on a different parcel shall <br />not be subject to the standards in MCC 17.136.030(A) so long as the adjustment: <br />a. Does not increase any adverse impacts on the continued practice of commercial agriculture on <br />the resulting parcels; <br />b. Does not increase the potential number of dwellings on the resulting parcels; and <br />c. Does not allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage <br />standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be <br />based on an acreage standard. <br /> <br />No dwellings would be located on a different lot or parcel as a result of the proposed property line <br />adjustment. The criterion does not apply. <br /> <br />8. Based on the above findings, the applicants’ proposal meets the criteria for a property line adjustment in an EFU <br />zone. The property line adjustment request is, therefore, APPROVED. <br /> <br /> <br />Brandon Reich Date: December 3rd, 2025 <br />Planning Director/Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this decision contact Gillian Peden at (503) 588-5038. <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.
