Oregon, OH Right to Farm: Agricultural Zoning Protection (2026)

01, states that an A-1 Agricultural District "provides for farmsteads, low density residences and areas for plant cultivation, livestock, greenhouses, and other related agricultural activities," and it specifically lifts the one-primary-structure-per-lot rule for farmsteads, recognizing that a working farm often needs more than one building on the property. The district can also serve, in the code's words, as a holding classification, keeping land zoned A-1 "until urban development becomes appropriate and available," at which point Council can rezone it consistent with the Master Plan, and the section notes A-1 also fits areas the Master Plan designates as agricultural reserves.

02, the permitted-uses list, names farmsteads, single-family dwellings, plant cultivation, livestock, greenhouses, and roadside stands for produce grown on the premises as outright permitted uses, meaning none of them needs a conditional-use hearing before the Planning Commission. 65, so an owner can confirm exactly what activity qualifies before relying on the A-1 permitted-use list. 03.
