18.20.090 
unsuitable land for the production of farm crops and livestock, considering the terrain, adverse soil or land conditions, drainage and flooding, vegeta-tion, location and size of the tract. A lot or parcel shall not be considered unsuitable solely because of size or location if it can reasonably be put to farm use in conjunction with other land. A lot or parcel is not "generally unsuitable" simply because it is too small to be fanned profitably by itself. If a lot or parcel can be sold, leased, rented or other-wise managed as a part of a commercial farm or ranch, it is not "generally unsuitable." A lot or par-cel is presumed to be suitable if it is composed pre-dominantly of Class I - VI soils. Just because a lot or parcel is unsuitable for one farm use does not mean it is not suitable for another farm use. (b) If the parcel is under forest assessment, the dwelling shall be situated upon generally unsuitable land for the production of merchantable tree species recognized by the forest practices rules, considering the terrain, adverse soil or land conditions, drainage and flooding, vegetation, location and size of the parcel. If a lot or parcel is under forest assessment, the area is not "generally unsuitable" simply because it is too small to be managed for forest production profitably by itself. If a lot or parcel is under forest assessment, it is presumed suitable if it is composed predominantly of soils capable of producing 20 cubic feet of wood fiber per acre per year. If a lot or parcel is under forest assessment, to be found compatible and not seriously interfere with forest uses or surrounding land it must not force a significant change in forest practices or significantly increase the cost of those practices on the surrounding land. (4) Other Conditions Deemed Necessary. Com-plies with such other conditions, as the county con-siders necessary. (5) Creation of Lot. The dwelling will be sited on a lot or parcel created before January 1,1983, or on a lot or parcel created after January 1, 1993, pur-suant to CCC 18.24.070(4) or 18.20.070(4). (6) Disqualification from Farm Deferral. Prior to final approval of a building permit for a use gov-erned by this section, the entire lot or parcel upon which the nonfarm dwelling will be located must be disqualified for farm assessments pursuant to ORS 215.236. (Ord. 18 § 3.020(8), 2003) 
18.20.090 Dimensional s tandards . In an EFU-2 zone, the following dimensional standards shall apply: (1) The lot or parcel of 160 acres or more shall be considered a farm unit. 
(2) A lot or parcel of less than 160 acres, but equal to or greater than the minimum lot size estab-lished by ORS 215.780 may be approved as a fann unit pursuant to the administrative review proce-dures under Chapter 18.172 CCC, when found to comply with the following: (a) Any proposed parcel below 160 acres shall have usable water right and water availability of adequate quantity to ensure the operation of irri-gated fanning techniques of commercial levels; (b) The proposed parcels must be of a size and shape that is efficient for the use of fann machinery including: cultivating, harvesting, and spraying equipment. The proposed division shall not materially alter the stability of the overall land use pattern of the area; (3) The minimum lot area for all nonfarm uses listed under CCC 18.20.020 (except dwellings) shall not be larger than the minimum necessary for the use. (4) A land division for a nonfarm dwelling may be approved only if the nonfann dwelling has first been approved under CCC 18.20.040. (Ord. 18 § 3.020(9), 2003) 
18.20.100 Yards. In an EFU-2 zone, the minimum yard setback requirements shall be as follows: (1) In an exclusive fann use zone (EFU) the minimum setback of a residence or habitable struc-ture from a property line shall be 100 feet. (a) If a parcel in the EFU zone is nonbuild-able as a result of the habitable structure setback requirements, the. commissi on may consider a con-ditional application from the landowner to adjust the setback requirements to make the parcel build-able. (2) The minimum setbacks for all accessory structures are: (a) Front yard setback shall be a minimum of 20 feet for property fronting on a local minor col-lector or marginal access street, 30 feet from a property line fronting on a major collector ROW, and 80 feet from an arterial ROW unless other pro-visions for combining accesses are provided and approved by the county. (b) Each side yard shall be a minimum of 20 feet, except on corner lots or parcels where the side yard on the street side shall be a minimum of 30 feet. (c) Rear yards shall be a minimum of 25 feet.
