Zoning districts are a vital part of land planning. If there were no zoning districts, there would be no rules to determine what types of residential uses and businesses can exist in specified areas throughout the County. In other words, it would be possible for something like a mobile home park to be surrounded by orchards and vineyards.

Can you direct me to zone restrictions for RR-5
Setbacks Height etc
Hi Patrick-
The dimensional standards associated with the RR-5 zone can be found in Chapter 8 of the Jackson County Land Development Ordinance (JCLDO). Per Table 8.2-1 JCLDO, the minimum structural setback requirement for the RR-5 zone is 30′ for the front yard and 20′ for the side and rear yards, and the maximum height allowed for structures is 35′. If you need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 541-773-2646.
Thank you.
