Oregon SB1578 allows rural counties to rezone up to 50 acres for residential development and expands accessory dwelling unit (ADU) allowances.

Oregon SB1578 amends land use regulations to allow counties with a population density of less than 30 people per square mile to rezone up to 50 acres for residential development, provided the development meets certain criteria. The bill also expands the allowed development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to farmland with certain existing nonfarm dwellings. Counties may allow the construction of larger ADUs and impose additional conditions for approval. The bill includes provisions for the development of emergency shelters and recreational vehicle sites for residential purposes.
