The property is designated Developing Residential in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this designation and the corresponding UD (Urban Development) zone is to allow for areas of low density urban residential development and other compatible uses. The UD zone allows opportunities for limited commercial activities in the form of home occupations through the conditional use process. 2. The property is located on the corner of Adobe ST SE and 49th PL. The parcel is developed with a house built in 1956 and accessory structures. The driveway providing access to the parcel is off 49th Ave SE. The property has existed in its current configuration since at least 1975 when it was described by deed recorded in Reel 29, Page 401 in the Book of Land Records for Marion County, Oregon. 3. Surrounding uses in the area are predominantly comprised of single-family residences, as all adjacent parcels are zoned either UD or RS (Single-family residential). 4. The applicant proposes operating a bakery service as a home occupation on the property, to supplement existing space at Emilio’s Bakery which is also owned by the property owner. 5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Marion County Building commented: “Permit(s) are required to be obtained for any electrical alterations and the infill of a garage door opening, if proposed. The specific type of ovens will determine what type of exhaust hood and duct system to be installed. If they are domestic type ovens, then residential use exhaust hoods would be sufficient according to the 2025 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code, however, if they are not domestic but rather commercial appliances, some other type of exhaust hood, possibly a Type II, may be required. Discussion with a plans examiner is recommended prior to the purchase of the ovens and/or if they are already purchased, this discussion will help determine the code required exhaust hood and duct system to install for the ovens. The applications state this operation will not be open to the public, so no concern with providing accessibility to the garage nor restroom availability to the public.”
