The subject property is designated Primary Agriculture in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The major purpose of this designation and the corresponding EFU (Exclusive Farm Use) zone is to promote the continuation of commercial agricultural and forestry operations. Commercial uses that principally serve the local agricultural uses can be approved on a conditional basis. 2. The property is located at 7683 Sunnyview Rd NE, on the north side of Sunnyview Rd roughly 0.9 miles west of the intersection of Sunnyview Rd and Howell Prairie Rd. The parcel is developed with a 1960 dwelling and several accessory structures. A review of the land use history of the parcel found that it was subject to a previous property line adjustment case PLA16-023 which created the parcel in its current configuration. The parcel is legal for land use purposes. 3. Surrounding uses include large scale farm operations to the north and south. The north property is a grass seed and general row crop operation while the operation to the south is dedicated to hazelnut orchards. The smaller parcels to the east and west of the subject parcel contain small residences not connected to the larger farming operations. 4. Soil Survey of Marion County Oregon indicates 100% of the subject property is composed of high-value farm soils. 5. The applicant is proposing to operate a farm labor contracting business as a commercial use in conjunction with agriculture. 6. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment: Marion County Building commented: “No Building Inspection concerns. If the property or specific structure will be open to public customers for business transactions, then a change of use permit would be required to be obtained. Discussion with a building plans examiner would be recommended prior to making application for this change of use.” Marion County Septic provided the following comments: Condition of Approval: An authorization is required due to the change of use/home occupation nature of this proposal. Note: All portable toilets must be pumped and inspected by a licensed and certified sewage disposal company. Oregon Portable Toilets is a licensed and certified sewage disposal company.
