6-3A-1: PURPOSE:
Resource lands consist of the exclusive farm, ranch and farm-forest use zones and appropriate overlay zones such as for destination resorts and secondary lands. The purpose of the EFU, ERU and EFFU zones is to maintain the resource based economy of Malheur County by permitting the establishment of only those uses that are compatible with agricultural activities. The intent is to ensure that areas classified EFU, ERU or EFFU are preserved and protected from conflicting nonresource uses. (Ord. 86, 12-7-1993)
