18.28.005 Purpose.

The purpose of the forest (F-1) zone is to protect and maintain forest lands for grazing, and rangeland use and forest use, consistent with existing and future needs for agricultural and forest products. The F-1 zone is also intended to allow other uses that are compatible with agricultural and forest activities, to protect scenic resources and fish and wildlife habitat, and to maintain and improve the quality of air, water and land resources of the county.

The F-1 zone has been applied to lands designated as forest in the comprehensive plan. The provisions of the F-1 zone reflect the forest land policies of the comprehensive plan as well as the requirements of Chapter 215 ORS and OAR 660-006. The minimum parcel size and other standards established by this zone are intended to promote commercial forest operations. (Ord. 309 § 3 (Exh. C), 2019)

18.28.010 Use table.

(1) Table of Permitted Uses. Table 1 sets forth the uses allowed in the forest districts. This table applies to all new uses, expansions of existing uses, and changes of use when the expanded or changed use would require review, unless otherwise specified on Table 1. All uses are subject to the general provisions, special conditions, additional restrictions and exceptions set forth in this chapter. In addition, provisions of Chapter 18.124 CCC (Supplementary Provisions) may apply.

As used in Table 1:

(a) Use Type.

(i) “A” means the use is allowed.

(ii) “STS” means the use is permitted subject to site plan review and any other listed criteria.

(iii) “C” means the use is a conditional use. Conditional uses are permitted subject to county review, any specific standards for the use set forth in CCC 18.28.015, the conditional use review criteria in CCC 18.28.020, the general standards for the zone, and specific requirements applicable to the use in Chapter 18.160 CCC.

(2) Review Procedures.

(a) “P” means the use is permitted outright; uses and activities and their accessory buildings and uses are permitted subject to the general provisions set forth by this chapter.

(b) “Administrative” are permitted by right, requiring only nondiscretionary staff review to demonstrate compliance with the standards in this chapter. Permits subject to administrative review are limited to actions that do not require interpretation or the exercise of policy or legal judgment.

(c) “Notice and opportunity for public hearing” involves permits for which the application of review criteria requires the exercise of limited discretion. Decisions are made by the planning director. These decisions require a notice of decision and opportunity for appeal and public hearing.

(d) “Planning commission hearing” uses require a public hearing. Decisions are made by the planning commission, usually with an opportunity to appeal to the board of commissioners. These decisions involve the exercise of discretion and judgment when applying applicable land use and development criteria but implement established policy. Uses that are subject to this review procedure may be allowed subject to findings of compliance with applicable approval criteria and development standards. These decisions require a public notice prior to, and after, a decision.

(3) The “Subject To” column identifies any specific provisions of CCC 18.28.015 or other applicable Crook County Code chapter to which the use is subject.

18.28.025 Siting standards for dwellings and structures in forest zones.

The following siting criteria or their equivalent shall apply to all new dwellings and structures in forest zones. These criteria are designed to make such uses compatible with forest operations, to minimize wildfire hazards and risks and to conserve values found on forest lands. A governing body shall consider the criteria in this section together with the requirements of CCC 18.28.030 to identify the building site:

(1) Dwellings and structures shall be sited on the parcel so that:

(a) They have the least impact on nearby or adjoining forest or agricultural lands;

(b) The siting ensures that adverse impacts on forest operations and accepted farming practices on the tract will be minimized;

(c) The amount of forest lands used to site access roads, service corridors, the dwelling and structures is minimized; and

(d) The risks associated with wildfire are minimized.

(2) Siting criteria satisfying subsection (1) of this section may include setbacks from adjoining properties, clustering near or among existing structures, siting close to existing roads and siting on that portion of the parcel least suited for growing trees.

(3) The applicant shall provide evidence to the governing body that the domestic water supply is from a source authorized in accordance with the water resource department’s administrative rules for the appropriation of ground water or surface water. For the purposes of this section, “evidence of a domestic water supply” means:

(a) Verification from a water purveyor that the use described in the application will be served by the purveyor under the purveyor’s rights to appropriate water;

(b) A water use permit issued by the water resources department for the use described in the application; or

(c) Verification from the water resources department that a water use permit is not required for the use described in the application.

(4) As a condition of approval, if road access to the dwelling is by a road owned and maintained by a private party or by the Oregon Department of Forestry, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, or the U.S. Forest Service, then the applicant shall provide proof of a long-term road access use permit or agreement. The road use permit may require the applicant to agree to accept responsibility for road maintenance.

(5) Approval of a dwelling shall be subject to the following requirements:

(a) Approval of a dwelling requires the owner of the tract to plant a sufficient number of trees on the tract to demonstrate that the tract is reasonably expected to meet Department of Forestry stocking requirements at the time specified in Department of Forestry administrative rules;

(b) The planning department shall notify the county assessor of the above condition at the time the dwelling is approved;

(c) Stocking Survey Report.

(i) If the lot or parcel is more than 30 acres, the property owner shall submit a stocking survey report to the county assessor and the assessor will verify that the minimum stocking requirements have been met by the time required by Department of Forestry rules;
