hardship dwelling be removed or disconnected when no longer used for residential purposes when the hardship ceases. These requirements shall be conditions of approval. 8. Since the property is located in an EFU zone, the proposal must also satisfy the conditional use criteria in MCC 17.136.060(A). Those requirements are: (a) The use will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farm or forest practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use. Land devoted to farm or forest use does not include farm or forest use on lots or parcels upon which a non-farm or non-forest dwelling has been approved and established, in exception areas approved under ORS 197.732, or in an acknowledged urban growth boundary. (b) Adequate fire protection and other rural services are, or will be, available when the use is established. (c) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on watersheds, groundwater, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and slope stability, air and water quality. (d) Any noise associated with the use will not have a significant adverse impact on nearby land uses. (e) The use will not have a significant adverse impact on potential water impoundments identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and not create significant conflicts with operations included in the Comprehensive Plan inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites. The proposal to place an RV to be used as a residence for the purposes of a medical hardship is not anticipated to generate impacts, such as noise or pollution, as the use is similar to those of a small single-family residences. It is not anticipated that this level of impact will force significant changes or increase costs of accepted farm and forest practices, water impoundments, mineral and aggregate sites, or fish and wildlife habitats, especially because of the proximity of the temporary dwelling to an existing dwelling producing similar impacts. MCC 17.136.050(B) requires that a declaratory statement meeting the requirements of MCC 17.136.100(C) be filed and this serves to notify the applicant and subsequent owners that there are farm or timber operations in the area. The criteria are met, and the declaratory statements shall be made a condition of approval. 9. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the applicants’ request meets all applicable criteria for placing a temporary manufactured home/RV for medical hardship purposes and is, therefore, APPROVED.
