Eagle Point City Zoning Code

The RF residential farm district is intended to create, preserve and enhance areas for standard and modular construction, rural, large lot, single-family residential developments. These areas shall be located as residential neighborhoods to provide for those persons desiring more private, exclusive living styles and/or provide for development of lands that because of steep slopes are best suited for large lot development. The size of the district, in conjunction with other residential and rural land uses, is to be more than 20 acres in size. To be consistent with sound planning practice, these districts will primarily be adjacent to other low space reserve districts and have access to traffic collector streets.

The planning commission may grant a conditional use permit in accordance with the standards and procedure set forth in Chapter 17.84 EPMC for such other buildings or uses as the commission determines to be in keeping with the district's purposes. Such other uses shall not have any different or more detrimental effect upon the adjoining neighborhood areas or zones than such specifically permitted uses. In addition, the following conditional uses are specifically authorized:

In the RF district, each lot shall have yards of not less than the following size unless otherwise provided for in Chapter 17.52 or 17.56 EPMC:

In the RF district, the maximum building or structural height of the main building shall be two and one-half stories or 30 feet, whichever is the lesser. Accessory buildings, except farm structures, in the RF district are limited to two and one-half stories or 25 feet, whichever is the lesser.

In the RF district, two off-street parking spaces are required for each dwelling unit. See Chapter 17.72 EPMC for additional detailed information concerning parking space requirements.

In the RF district, fences and walls shall not exceed three and one-half feet in height above the sidewalk grade, within the front yard or street side yard setback area. Vision clearance shall be required on all corner lots. On an interior lot a wall, fence or hedge not more than eight feet in height may be located anywhere on the lot to the rear of the required front yard or street side yard setback line. All fences, walls and hedges shall be properly maintained. The provisions of this section shall not apply to fences required to surround and enclose public utility installations or to chain link fences enclosing school grounds and public playgrounds. Retaining walls protecting a cut or fill, and located on a line separating lots, may be topped by a fence, wall, or hedge of the same height that would otherwise be permitted at the location, if no retaining wall existed. Special security buildings, facilities, walls and fences to provide these districts with security and privacy may be installed with the permission of the site plan committee under provisions of Chapter 17.60 EPMC.
