a replacement dwelling in 2025. Therefore, both parcels can be considered as occupied by dwellings established before January 1st, 1994. It can be said that both parcels have been used for residential purposes since prior to the adoption of land use planning, which satisfies the criterion in MCC 17.138.030(B)(2)(c)(iv). The parcels were in their current configurations in the 70s and therefore have not been used for commercial forest operations. This property line adjustment will bring the parcel configuration into conformance with the neighboring properties that have used for residential purposes. The criterion is met. d. A property line adjustment may not be used to: i. 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; ii. 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; iii. 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; or iv. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is larger than the size granted by the waiver. The subject parcel (tax lots 300) that will grow larger is currently a vacant tract, but it received approval to replace a pre-existing dwelling that was destroyed by wildfire. This parcel is not being increased to a size that will qualify it for a dwelling, and the decreasing size of tax lot 400 will not allow for the qualification of any other lands for another dwelling. Neither of the subject parcels were created as a result of a Measure 49 order. 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. 10. Based on the above findings, the applicants’ proposal meets the criteria for a property line adjustment in a TC zone. The property line adjustment request is, therefore, APPROVED, subject to conditions.
