OAR 150-307-0510: Agricultural Workforce Housing and Farm Labor Camp Assessment

(1) Only the portion of the farm labor camp property actually occupied, or held for occupation, by persons primarily employed for agricultural or horticultural purposes would qualify. Land and improvements which are not an integral part of the farm labor camp shall not qualify for the exemption. Examples of areas which may qualify for exemption are: (a) Cooking and eating areas. (b) Parking areas. (c) Buffer areas, when reasonably necessary to protect the labor camp or to protect surrounding area from noise or other nuisance factors. (d) Recreation areas. (2) The term “facility” as used in ORS 307.480(2) means housing, and associated common areas reasonably necessary for the provision of housing, that is established for occupancy by agricultural workers, retired or disabled agricultural workers, and the immediate family members of agricultural workers. Such housing may be composed of: (a) Specifically dedicated or designated units within a housing development; or (b) A defined number of housing units of specified sizes, where vacancies may be filled from the available housing inventory in the development on a first-available basis, but may only be filled with a similar sized unit.
