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. 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. Beyond the required compliance with criteria which mitigate impacts on the neighborhood, the use as proposed will not substantially limit, impair, or preclude the use of surrounding properties for residential uses. If the bakery was to grow beyond what is proposed here, it will require another application and possible a new location. The home occupation proposed is only two ovens, which will supplement the existing production at Emilio’s Bakery which is owned by the applicant and property owner. 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 of a bakery to supplement the applicant’s commercial bakery production is unlikely in and of itself to create any effect on air or water quality. The baking is limited to being conducted within the structure on the property. Proper ventilation for the two proposed ovens will be required by Marion Count Building. The ventilation will surely disperse the smell of baking bread, but this is in no way a significant adverse effect on air quality. Bread baking at the scale proposed is will not produce any problematic run-off that could impact water quality. The property is within the East Salem Water Service District and is connected to a sewer system. There is no evidence to suggest any aspect of the proposed home occupation bakery will have a adverse impacts 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.
