The property is designated Rural Residential in the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this designation and the corresponding AR (Acreage Residential) zone is to allow for the creation of acreage home sites at a density that maintains the character and environmental quality of the County's rural residential areas. 2. The property is located at 2363 82nd Ave SE, Salem, on the west side of 82nd Ave roughly 550 feet south of the intersection between 82nd Ave and Macleay Rd SE. The property contains a 2012 built single-family dwelling and several accessory structures, including 2 large shops southeast of the dwelling. The parcel was involved in a previous land use case P99-047, which created the parcel in its current configuration. The parcel is considered legal for land use purposes. 3. Surrounding uses in all directions are dominated by rural homesites within the AR zone. Most parcels contain some small level of farming activity along with the dwellings, but nothing to the level of large scale commercial agriculture. 350 feet to the southeast and beyond are parcels zoned EFU (exclusive farm use) which contain pieces of commercial agriculture operations. Finally, the boundary of the unincorporated community of Macleay is roughly 500 feet to the east. 4. The applicant is proposing to operate an automotive repair business as a home occupation. The applicant has indicated that the business will be conducted within the two accessory shops currently on the property. 5. Various agencies were contacted about the proposal and given an opportunity to comment.
