Clackamas County Updated 7/1/2022
What is a farm stand?
A “farm stand” is a structure designed and used for the sale of farm crops and livestock that are grown/raised on
the same farm operation where the stand itself is located or that are grown/raised on a farm operation elsewhere
in the local agricultural area (in the case of Clackamas County, the “local agricultural area” means the state of
Oregon). A farm stand my also sell retail incidental items and fee-based activities that promote the sale of the
crops and livestock sold at the farm stand, provided that such sales and fees do not make up more than 25
percent of the farm stand’s annual sales.
When is a Farm Stand permit required?
The County’s Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) allows a farm stand when the subject property is zoned
Ag/Forest (AG/F) or Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). That farm stand requires a Farm Stand permit.
What is the permit application process?
Farm Stand permits are subject to a “Type II” land use application process, as provided for in Section 1307 of
the ZDO. Type II decisions include notice to owners of nearby land, the Community Planning Organization (if
active), service providers (sewer, water, fire, etc.), and affected government agencies. If the application is
approved, the applicant must comply with any conditions of approval identified in the decision. The Planning
Director’s decision can be appealed to the County Land Use Hearings Officer.
What is needed for the County to approve a land use permit?
Farm Stands may be permitted after an evaluation by the County of applicable standards of the ZDO. The
applicant is responsible for providing evidence that their proposal does or can meet those standards. In order to
address the standards, the information requested in this application should be as thorough and complete as
possible. A permit will only be approved or denied after a complete application is received and reviewed. The
County approves an application only if it finds that the proposal meets the standards or can meet the standards
with conditions.
How long will it take the County to make a decision about an application?
The County makes every effort to issue a decision on a Type II land use application within 45 days of when we
deem the application to be complete. State law generally requires a final County decision on a land use permit
application in an urban area within 120 days of the application being deemed complete, and within 150 days for
a land use permit in a rural area, although there are some exceptions.
If an application is submitted and then withdrawn, will a refund be given?
If a submitted Type II application is withdrawn before it is publicly noticed, 75% of the application fee paid, or the
fee paid minus $250, whichever is less, will be refunded. If a submitted application is withdrawn after it is publicly
noticed, but before a decision is issued, 50% of the application fee paid, or the fee paid minus $500, whichever
is less, will be refunded. No refund will be given after a decision is issued.
