property. These main features make the subject parcel suitable enough to meet this specific section. The criterion is met. (c) The proposed use, as conditioned, will not substantially limit, impair, or preclude the use of surrounding properties for the uses permitted in the applicable zone. The proposed use of a dog groomer as a home occupation will be required to comply with the specific criteria listed under MCC 16.32.400 addressed under Finding #6 above. These criteria include conducting the home occupation entirely indoors, prohibiting retail sales involving customers coming to the property, limiting deliveries to the business, and continually conducting the home occupation in a way that does not create a nuisance. All of these criteria, and the continued adherence to these standards, shall be made conditions of approval. Further, customer visits for the services shall also be limited to an appointment only basis. These operating criteria and the related conditions provide guardrails that will allow the business to operate such that it does not substantially limit, impair, or preclude surrounding properties from being used as intended, and allows a mechanism for enforcement should the applicants fail to operate in such a manner. Therefore, the criterion is met. (d) The proposed use, as conditioned, will not have a significant adverse effect on air or water quality. The proposed use as a dog grooming business is limited to being conducted within structures on the property. As such, this reduces the risk of the business impacting air quality in the local area. The property is also within the East Salem Water Service District and is connected to a sewer system. Dog groomers use different shampoos and other chemicals in their business operations which could cause issues with water quality if they were flushed into an onsite septic system, but since the property is connected to sewer this is not an issue. Therefore, it can be reasonably assumed the proposed business will not have a significant adverse impact on air or water quality. The criterion is met. (e) Adequate public and utility facilities and services to serve the use are available or will be made available prior to establishment of the use. As previously mentioned, the property is served by the East Salem Water Service District and is connected to a sewer system, meaning the water and wastewater systems are in place. The property also has frontage on a public road, has power, and is served by the Marion County Sheriff and Marion County No. 1 fire district. All other services are either available or can be made available. Therefore, the criterion is met. 8. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the request satisfies all applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
