The minimum parcel size calculated from MCC 17.136.090(A)(1) is 90-acres. All of the subject parcels are smaller than this minimum parcel size, therefore the criteria above are met. (c) Any property line adjustment shall result in a configuration of lots or parcels that are at least as suitable for commercial agriculture as were the parcels prior to the adjustment. This property line adjustment will configure the parcels in a manner that allows for better use of the farmable land. The owner of tax lot 600 has been leasing the two acres being transferred to the properties to the south. This adjustment allows for better access and more contiguous farm practices. This adjustment is the most suitable action for commercial agriculture and will not reduce farmable land. This criterion is met. (d) A property line adjustment may not be used to: 1. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common property line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains an existing dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; 2. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for construction of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger that the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; or 3. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard. No parcel will be increased to larger than the minimum parcel size and this adjustment will not qualify either parcel for a dwelling. The criterion is met. (e) Any property line adjustment that results in an existing dwelling being located on a different parcel shall not be subject to the standards in MCC 17.136.030(A) so long as the adjustment: 1. Does not increase the any adverse impacts on the continued practice of commercial agriculture on the resulting parcels; and 2. Does not increase the potential number of dwellings on the resulting parcels. No dwellings will be located on different parcels nor will the adjustment allow for additional dwellings or adversely impact the practice of commercial agriculture. The criterion is met. 8. Under MCC 17.172.120(E) Property line adjustment deeds shall be recorded with the Marion County clerk’s office prior to submitting the property line adjustment survey, if a survey is required. Deed recording reference numbers shall be noted on the required survey. 9. The resulting lots shall significantly conform to the site plan submitted with the proposal. Minor variations are permitted upon review and approval of the Planning Director. Nothing in this decision authorizes expansion of the existing school. Further land use review may be required to expand the school. 10. Based on the above findings, the applicants’ proposal meets the criteria for a property line adjustment in an EFU zone. The property line adjustment request is, therefore, APPROVED.
