660-033-0045); OAR 660-033-0100 (Minimum Parcel Size Requirements); OAR 660-033-0130 (Minimum Standards Applicable to the Schedule of Permitted and Conditional Uses); OAR 660-033-0135 (Dwellings in Conjunction with Farm Use).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">LCDC will hold a public hearing <b>January 26, 2012</b>, to receive public comments regarding the proposal. That meeting, which will include other agenda items preceding the administrative rule hearing, is scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM

<p class="MsoNormal">The proposed rule amendments are needed in order to implement new laws. The Commission may consider other minor amendments based on testimony and comments received during the public comment period, and may adopt minor clarifications or
technical corrections, and may make other related amendments proposed during the public comment period. As per ORS 183.335(2)(b)(G), the agency requests public comment on whether other options should be considered for achieving the proposed substantive goals
while reducing the negative economic impact of the rule on business.<o:p></o:p></p>
