3 rules for unincorporated Lane County, Oregon.
Verified from official government sources
In the Rural Residential (RR) zone, structures other than fences and signs must sit at least 20 feet from a state, county or public road right-of-way and at least 10 feet from all other property lines. Small under-120-square-foot structures may encroach.
LC 16.290(7)(a)
Property Line Setbacks. Structures other than a fence or sign shall be located: (i) At least 20 feet from the right-of-way of a State road, County road or a local access public road specified in LC Chapter 15; (ii) At least 10 feet from all other property lines.
Lane County's Rural Residential zone sets no maximum structure height; LC 16.290(7)(f) states height is "None." Structures are instead controlled by setbacks and by the state building code. Farm, Forest and city zones may impose their own height caps.
LC 16.290(7)(f)
Height. None.
Lane County's Rural Residential zone controls development density through minimum lot sizes of 2, 5 or 10 acres (shown on the zoning map) rather than a lot-coverage percentage. Setbacks and riparian buffers further limit how much of a parcel can be built.
LC 16.290(6)(a)
For RR zoned areas that are located inside developed and committed areas and outside the boundaries of areas designated by the RCP as unincorporated communities, the minimum area requirement for the creation of lots or parcels for residential purposes shall be 2, 5 or 10 acres as indicated by the Lane County Zoning Maps.
