Relating to golf courses on exclusive farm use lands in Coos County.
SB 877 allows golf courses to be built on land zoned for exclusive farm use in Coos County under three specific conditions: (1) if the land isn't high-value farmland, (2) if it's a specific type of high-value farmland surrounded by existing golf courses and west of U.S. Highway 101, or (3) if it has historical perennial crop use with certain restrictions. The bill directly affects landowners and developers seeking to site golf courses on farm-zoned properties in Coos County. It modifies existing Oregon laws (ORS 215.213 and 215.283) to add these criteria, with all changes sunsetting on January 1, 2028. The bill does not change general farm use protections but expands limited exceptions for golf courses in designated areas.
