2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 06 - Local Government, Public Employees, Elections|Chapter 215 - County Planning; Zoning; Housing Codes|Section 215.276 - Required consultation for transmission lines to be located on high-value farmland.

(1) As used in this section: (a) "Consult" means to make an effort to contact for purpose of notifying the record owner of the opportunity to meet. (b) "High-value farmland" has the meaning given that term in ORS 195.300. (c) "Transmission line" means a linear utility facility by which a utility provider transfers the utility product in bulk from a point of origin or generation, or between transfer stations, to the point at which the utility product is transferred to distribution lines for delivery to end users. (2) If the criteria described in ORS 215.275 for siting a utility facility on land zoned for exclusive farm use are met for a utility facility that is a transmission line, or if the criteria described in ORS 215.274 for siting an associated transmission line are met, the utility provider shall, after the route is approved by the siting authorities and before construction of the transmission line begins, consult the record owner of high-value farmland in the planned route for the purpose of locating and constructing the transmission line in a manner that minimizes the impact on farming operations on high-value farmland. If the record owner does not respond within two weeks after the first documented effort to consult the record owner, the utility provider shall notify the record owner by certified mail of the opportunity to consult. If the record owner does not respond within two weeks after the certified mail is sent, the utility provider has satisfied the provider’s obligation to consult. (3) The requirement to consult under this section is in addition to and not in lieu of any other legally required consultation process.

In any rule adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission that establishes a farm income standard to determine whether a dwelling is customarily provided in conjunction with farm use on a tract, the commission shall allow a farm operator to satisfy the income standard by earning the required amount or more of farm income on the tract: (1) In at least three of the last five years; (2) In each of the last two years; or (3) Based on the average farm income earned on the tract in the best three of the last five years.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 06 - Local Government, Public Employees, Elections|Chapter 215 - County Planning; Zoning; Housing Codes|Section 215.281 - Legislative findings related to dwellings in conjunction with commercial dairy farm.

The Legislative Assembly finds that: (1) Dairies and dairying are an important part of Oregon agriculture and make a significant contribution to the state and local economies; (2) Dairies require continuous on-site labor to operate the dairy and to protect the significant investment in milking and waste disposal facilities, equipment and livestock necessary to operate a commercial dairy; and (3) Dairies require more on-site housing than other types of farms because of the year-round labor-intensive nature of a dairy operation and justify different standards for the review of a primary or accessory dwelling customarily provided in conjunction with a commercial dairy farm under ORS 215.213 and 215.283. [2001 c.149 §4] Note: 215.281 and 215.282 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 215 or any series therein by legislative action.

The Land Conservation and Development Commission shall consider the findings of ORS 215.281 and adopt rules that provide standards for the review of a primary or accessory dwelling customarily provided in conjunction with a commercial dairy farm.

(1) The Legislative Assembly finds that: (a) The extraction of aggregate, other minerals and other subsurface resources is an essential contribution to Oregon’s economic well-being. (b) Oregon has an economic and social interest in locating and providing affordable aggregate, other minerals and other subsurface resources in close proximity to the end user of the materials. (c) Oregon has an interest in balancing competing land use demands for lands identified as farmlands or forestlands in a manner that protects the economic viability of mining and other resource uses. (d) To balance competing resource uses, Oregon has an interest in providing significant volumes of high-quality aggregate, other minerals and other subsurface resources that are critical to building Oregon’s communities and infrastructure while preserving farmland for agricultural production. (2) The Legislative Assembly declares that: (a) High-value farmland composed predominantly of Class I and Class II soils in the Willamette Valley should not be available for mining unless there is a significant volume of high-quality aggregate and other minerals and other subsurface resources available for extraction. (b) State agencies and local governments should balance competing resource uses and not restrict the removal of the full depth of aggregate unless public health and safety concerns necessitate the restriction of mining activity.
