Maddy summarySB 877 allows golf courses to be built on land zoned for exclusive farm use in Coos County under three specific conditions: (1) if the land isn't high-value farmland, (2) if it's a specific type of high-value farmland surrounded by existing golf courses and west of U.S. Highway 101, or (3) if it has historical perennial crop use with certain restrictions. The bill directly affects landowners and developers seeking to site golf courses on farm-zoned properties in Coos County. It modifies existing Oregon laws (ORS 215.213 and 215.283) to add these criteria, with all changes sunsetting on January 1, 2028.

Maddy summarySB 525 streamlines approval for residential land divisions within Oregon's urban growth boundaries by setting clear criteria for "expedited land division" status. It requires such divisions to either create enough lots for 80%+ of the area's maximum residential density or target housing for households earning ≤120% of the county's median income. The bill also mandates protection of natural features like the Willamette River Greenway, coastal shorelands, and dunes by prohibiting development on mapped protected lands. Local governments must approve or deny these applications within 180 days without public hearings, using the criteria outlined in the bill.
