For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
Agricultural Use means any current or future generally accepted farming, ranching, nursery, or forest practice or facility conducted in compliance with applicable city land use ordinances. Agricultural Use does not include:
1. Knowingly growing unlawful, infested, infected or diseased plants or animals; or
2. Trespass which involves actual physical intrusion onto the property of another by a person or by a person’s animals.
Facility means any real or personal property, including appurtenances thereto and fixtures thereon, associated with a given use.
Farming Practice means the cultivation, growing, harvesting, processing or selling of plants of any kind which lawfully may be grown, possessed and sold, including, but not limited to Christmas trees and nursery stock. Other commonly accepted agricultural practices currently in operation within the UGB, as of the effective date of Ord. 956, would be grandfathered-in.
Forest Practice has the meaning given that term by O.R.S. 527.620.
Generally Accepted means either:
1. A practice or facility which is conducted or used in compliance with applicable federal and state laws; or
2. If there is no applicable federal or state law, a practice or facility which an average person in the city who is a grower or producer regularly involved in the same type of agricultural use would reasonably expect to occur or exist in a truly rural setting. The City Council may, as it deems necessary, establish agricultural user peer review boards consisting of 5 persons who regularly are involved in an agricultural use within the county, 3 of whom regularly are involved in the same type of agricultural use in question, to advise the Council as to generally accepted practices of facilities with respect to that agricultural use.
Nonagricultural use means any facility, activity, or other use of land which does not constitute an agricultural use, including but not limited to residential use.
