Relating to rural residential development.

Summary

The bill lets counties with fewer than 30 people per square mile rezone up to 50 acres for residential use at a minimum of five homes per acre, with each home no larger than 1,200 sq ft and not for vacation use. It also broadens where accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can be built on farmland and historic properties, and adds rules for recreational‑vehicle residences and emergency shelters. The changes are intended to increase affordable housing options in rural Oregon while protecting farm, forest and rangeland uses.
