Bill overview
This bill amends Oregon rules to allow farm stands on land zoned for exclusive farm use more easily. It clarifies what constitutes a farm stand, expands the types of activities permitted within a farm stand (like retail sales and fee-based activities), and allows for a wider range of uses in these zones, including some residential dwellings and certain agri-tourism activities, subject to specific conditions and county approval. The bill also updates existing zoning regulations to reflect these changes.
Key provisions
- Farm stands can be approved on zoned farm land with specific structural and activity requirements.
- Farm stands can include retail sales, fee-based activities promoting farm products, and food service.
