Farm Stand Rulemaking Update
The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) thanks those that have provided comment on the Farm Stand Rulemaking process. At Governor Kotek’s direction, DLCD is pausing this rulemaking to reassess next steps.
The comments DLCD and the Governor’s Office have received are clear. Oregonians care deeply about this complex issue and any potential unintended consequences of changing existing rules. The department looks forward to providing additional information in the near term.
Goal 1 (Citizen Involvement) helps ensure broad community engagement and is a foundation of Oregon’s unique comprehensive land use planning system.
Farm stands and the opportunity to learn about farming, support farmers, and maintain Oregon’s agricultural economy are values shared across the state. Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC) members have provided invaluable guidance on concepts that will help inform any formal state agency rulemaking on this subject.
DLCD is postponing issuing proposed draft rules in the Secretary of State’s Bulletin for public comment at this time.
