The exception criteria of Goal 2 and OAR 660-04-020 and 660- 04-022 must be satisfied. An exception is a comprehensive plan provision, including an amendment to an acknowledged comprehensive plan, that applies to specific property and does not establish a general planning or zoning policy. Before an exception can be allowed in this case, it must be determined that there are reasons consistent with OAR 660-04-022 to use resource land for uses not allowed under Goal 3; findings must be made under OAR 660-04-020 that: (a) Reasons justify why the state policy embodied in the applicable goals should not apply; (b) Areas that do not require a new exception cannot reasonably accommodate the use; (c) The long-term environmental, economic, social and energy consequences resulting from the use at the proposed site with measures designed to reduce adverse impacts are not significantly more adverse than would typically result from the same proposal being located in areas requiring a goal exception other than the proposed site; and (d) The proposed uses are compatible with other adjacent uses or will be so rendered through measures designed to reduce adverse impacts.

These reasons do not satisfy OAR 660-04-022(1). The periodic demand for more recreational vehicle spaces than are available on applicants' park does not by itself demonstrate a need for the proposed expansion based on the requirements of Goals 3 to 19.
