ORS 197.685: Location of farmworker housing; approval standards.

(1) The availability of decent, safe and sanitary housing opportunities for farmworkers is a matter of statewide concern. (2) Farmworker housing within the rural area of a county shall be permitted in a zone or zones in rural centers and areas committed to nonresource uses. (3) Any approval standards, special conditions and procedures for approval adopted by a local government shall be clear and objective and shall not have the effect, either in themselves or cumulatively, of discouraging needed housing through unreasonable cost or delay.
