Draft 9/29/14 m. No policy shall be construed to exclude permitted and specially permitted non-farm uses, as defined in ORS 215.213 and OAR 660 Division 033, from the EFU/RCP zones. Implementing ordinances shall provide for such uses, consistent with the statutory and OAR 660 Division 033 requirements. Special permits for commercial uses in conjunction with farm use shall have the same effect as making the use an outright permitted use on the affected parcel. n.Land may be designated as marginal land if it complies with the requirements of ORS 197.247 (1991 Edition). o. Lane County recognizes ORS 215.253 shall apply on land-zoned EFU and Marginal Lands. p.Recreational activities in the Park and Recreation (PR/RCP) zone district within agricultural areas that are outside lands for which a built or committedexception to a statewide planning goal has been taken shall be limited to those uses consistent with Statewide Planning Goals 3 and 4. Forest Lands (Goal 4) Findings 4.Forest lands are those lands acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) as forest lands as of the date of adoption of the 1993 amendments to Goal 4. When a plan amendment involving forest lands is proposed, forest land shall include lands which are suitable for commercial forest uses including adjacent or nearby lands which are necessary to permit forest operations or practices and other forested lands that maintain soil, air, water, and fish and wildlife resources. 5.Forest lands provide multiple values in the metropolitan area including: scenic resources; watershed and soil protection, recreational opportunities; fish and wildlife habitat; commercial timber harvest; livestock grazing; and other urban uses, such as buffering. Within the UGB, and particularly within cities, timber harvest has less value to the general public than do other values. Policies C.5 Metropolitan goals relating to scenic quality, water quality, vegetation and wildlife, open space, and recreational potential shall be given a higher priority than timber harvest within the UGB. C.6 The Oregon Forest Practices Act shall control commercial forest practices when commercial forest uses are the primary or one of two or more primary uses identified on forest lands outside the UGB. When other policies of the MetroPlanestablish a greater importance for uses other than commercial forests, Lane County shall protect those other values by applying appropriate implementation measures.
