Land use reviews for the city of rufus

---

The proposed amendments to the Rufus Zoning Ordinance (“Code”) are intended to help facilitate the construction of prefabricated, modular, and manufactured housing products. The proposed Code modifications remove local barriers to permitting and siting housing that is constructed of components manufactured off site, regardless of construction materials. At the same time, proposed local regulatory changes implement the recommendations from the DLCD Mass Timber Code-UP project, a federally funded effort to advance mass timber as a viable construction component in housing manufacturing. The Code-UP project provides technical assistance to ten jurisdictions to update their development codes consistent with guidance and recommendations identified in the Oregon Prefabricated and Modular Housing Model Code and Audit Workbook.
