Bill > SB75

This bill modifies Oregon state law regarding wildfire hazard requirements for rural dwellings, specifically focusing on accessory dwelling units and replacement dwellings. The bill eliminates previous requirements related to wildfire hazards for accessory dwelling units on rural residential lands and replacement dwellings on resource-zoned lands. Key changes include removing mandates about construction in high wildfire hazard zones and deleting specific provisions requiring compliance with the Oregon Residential Specialty Code's section R327, which previously applied to dwellings in areas identified as having extreme or high wildfire risk. The legislation maintains other existing requirements for rural dwelling construction, such as lot size, location, and fire protection service provider standards, while providing counties with flexibility in regulating accessory and replacement dwellings. These modifications aim to streamline rural residential development regulations by reducing specific wildfire-related construction requirements, potentially making it easier for property owners to build additional or replacement dwellings in rural areas.
