ARTICLE_11: ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

SECTION 1109.01

Conversion of agricultural lands to uses not allowed by Goal 3 shall require an Exception and Plan amendment and shall be based upon consideration of the following factors:

A. Reasons justify why the applicable Goal(s) should not apply.

B. Areas which 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 an area requiring a Goal Exception other than the proposed site.

D. The proposed uses are compatible with other adjacent uses or will be so rendered through measures designed to reduce adverse impacts.
