City of Salem Planning Division commented: A. This property is designated SF (Single-Family) on the Salem Comprehensive Plan Map, and would therefore be zoned RS (Single-Family Residential) upon annexation and subject to the use and development standards of SRC Chapter 511. 1. The “Existing Utility Building” would need to be converted into a residential use (or have permits issued) prior to partitioning to be a compatible use in the RS zone, as the current use would not be permitted on its own lot. 2. For a Single-Family use in the RS zone, the minimum lot standards per Table 511-2 in SRC 511.010(b) require a minimum lot area of 4,000 square feet, minimum lot width and street frontage of 40 feet, a minimum lot depth of 70 feet (maximum lot depth of 300 percent of the average lot width). a. Both proposed lots appear to meet the minimum lot standards for a Single-Family use. 3. Per Table 511-3 in SRC 511.010(d), buildings and accessory structures greater than four feet in height for a Single-Family use require a minimum 12-foot setback from the street abutting property line. Existing buildings for a Single-Family use also require a minimum three-foot setback from the interior side property line, and a minimum 14-foot setback from the rear property line (minimum 20- foot setback if greater than one-story). a. The existing structure on Lot 1 appears to not be meeting the minimum street setback, and the existing structure on Lot 2 appears to not be meeting the minimum rear setback. However, as the new property lines are not increasing the nonconformity of these existing structures, they would be considered existing nonconforming development subject to SRC 270.010. B. If additional off-street parking areas are proposed, they would be required to take access from the flag lot accessway and meet the applicable standards of SRC Chapter 806. C. The subject property is located within the East Salem Sanitary Sewer Service District and Suburban East Salem Water Service District. The applicant shall contact the Suburban East Salem Water Service District to verify water availability. New connections to the sanitary sewer mains within the East Salem Sanitary Sewer Service District will require permits from the City of Salem. Additionally, City Council Policy X-4 requires an annexation agreement for connection these districts where one has not already be en done so. Please submit construction plans for permits to developmentservices@cityofsalem.net. The permits will not be issued until the annexation agreement has been recorded and plans meet City of Salem Standard Construction Specifications. Marion County Number 1 Fire Department provided extensive comments about water availability and required flow, fire apparatus access and clearance, fire safety during construction, premise identification, and no parking signs. The full packet is available at the Planning Department. Marion County Septic commented: We have reviewed the proposal for Partition 26-002 and determined that we have no comment since the property should be connected to city sewer. Marion County Tax Assessor provided comments related to the subject property’s property taxes. Salem-Keizer Public Schools provided comments about the schools servicing the area, school capacity and enrollment, the potential additional capacity the development might create, school infrastructure costs, and potential future construction costs. All other contacted agencies either failed to comment or stated no concern with/objection to the proposal. 6. In order to partition land in an RS (Single Family Residential) zone, the standards and criteria in Chapter 16.02.120 of the Marion County Code (MCC) apply: A. Lot Area. The minimum lot area for a single-family dwelling in a subdivision approved after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title, is 4,000 square feet when located within the Salem/Keizer area urban
