<br /> <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />A. That are the same as the existing land uses on the exception site; <br /> <br />B. That meet the following requirements: <br />i. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services will maintain the land as <br />“Rural Land” as defined by the goals and are consistent with all other applicable <br />Goal requirements; and <br />ii. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services will not commit adjacent or <br />nearby resource uses to nonresource use as defined in OAR 660-004-0028; and <br />iii. The rural uses, density, and public facilities and services are compatible with adjacent <br />or nearby resource uses; <br /> <br />C. For which the uses, density, and public facilities and services are consistent with OAR <br />660-022-0030, ‘Planning and Zoning of Unincorporated Communities’, if applicable, or <br /> <br />D. That are industrial development uses, and accessory uses subordinate to the industrial <br />development, in buildings of any size and type, provided the exception area was planned and <br />zoned for industrial use on January 1, 2004, subject to the territorial limits and other <br />requirements of ORS 197.713 and 197.714. <br /> <br />It is not within an unincorporated community and is not in industrial use, C and D do not apply. <br />Marion County has adopted a rural commercial zone which has been acknowledged as complying <br />with Goal 14, Urbanization. The zone ensures that rural uses will not exceed density limitations <br />on rural land and will not commit rural uses to requiring an urban level of public facilities. The <br />commercial uses which would be allowed under the county’s Commercial zone would be able to <br />be supported on solely a rural level of public services, including rural septic service, and would <br />be similar to the types of uses found in the surrounding land to the south, which is zoned <br />Commercial. The property cannot be farmed in conjunction with any other parcels in the area. No <br />urban public services will be needed to serve the site. The parcels in the area already consist of <br />properties in commercial or residential use. Based on the evidence and findings provided by the <br />applicant and summarized here, the proposal appears to meet the criteria for a goal three <br />exception. <br /> <br />12. OAR 660-004-028 specifies that a local government may adopt an exception to a goal when the <br />land subject to the exception is irrevocably committed to uses not allowed by the applicable goal <br />because existing adjacent uses and other relevant factors make the uses allowed by the applicable <br />goal impracticable. It further stipulates that whether land is irrevocably committed depends on the <br />relationship between the exception area and the lands adjacent. The findings for a committed <br />exception therefore, must address the following: <br /> <br />A. The characteristics of the exception area; <br />B. The characteristics of the adjacent area and the ands adjacent to it; and <br />C. The relationship between the exception area and the lands adjacent to it; and <br />D. The other relevant factors set forth in OAR 660-04-028(6). <br />OAR 660-004-028(6) referenced above indicates that findings of fact for a committed exception <br />shall address the following factors:
