IV. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS:
The proposed text amendments are detailed in the referenced ordinance attached hereto with
additional text identified by underline and deleted text bys+iketh+eugh. Below are explanations of
the proposed changes.
A. Title 15. Buildings and Construction:
chapter 15.04. BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION CODES AND REGULATIONS
Section 15.04.080. Fire Code; Adopted
DCC 15.04.080 contains a reference to the "2019 edition of the lnternational Fire Code" as the
locally adopted and applicable fire code for Deschutes County The proposed amendment would
alter this language to reference the "currently adopted edition of the lnternational Fire Code" to
prevent the need for future code amendments when future iterations of the lnternational Fire
Code are promulgated. This language was previously included in County Code, but was
unintentionally altered by Ordinance no. 2O2O-007. (See Exhibit A)
B. Title 17. Subdivisions:
Chapter 17.24. FINAL PLAT
Section 17.24.150. Recording
247-21-000862-TA Page 3 of 8
DCC 17.24.150(8) contains a reference to "blue line" copies of final plats and "cartography" fees
when recording documents with the Planning Division. These specific standards are no longer
required during the final plat recording process, and the proposed changes reflect the
contemporary recording standards. (See Exhibit B)
C. Title 18. County Zoning:
Chapter 18.04. TITLE, PURPOSE, AND DEFINITION
Section 18.04.030. Definitions
Definition for Manufactured Home states: "Manufactured home" shall have the meaning as set
forth in ORS 446.003(24Xa). The amendment corrects the ORS Reference to state: ORS
446.003(23Xa). (See Exhihit C)
Chapter 18.16. EXCLUSIVE FARM USE ZONES
Section 18.16.023. Lawfully Established Dwelling Replacement
ln conformance with House Btl3024 and ORS 215.291, the amendment prohibits the County
from considering property tax classification of dwellings that were previously removed,
destroyed, demolished or converted to nonresidential uses when reviewing applications for
replacement dwellings on lands zoned for exclusive farm use.
Section 18.16.025. Uses Permitted Subject To The Special Provisions Under DCC Section
18.16.038 Or DCC Section 18.15.042 And A Review Under DCC Chapter 18.124 Where
Applicable
ln conformance with House Bill 2106 and OAR 660-033-0010, the amendment alters the
established date requirements for any farm building used for dog training classes or testing
trials.
ln conformance with House Btl2844 and ORS 215.255(2)(b), the amendment adds a new farm
crop processing use provided that the operation uses less than 2,500 square feet for its
processing area. The County may not impose any siting requirements which would prohibit
these uses from being established on a property.
Section 18.15.030. Conditional Uses Permitted - High-Value and Non-High Value Farmland
DCC 18.16.030(D) implies that a medical hardship dwelling in the EFU Zone can only be a
manufactured home or a recreation vehicle (RV). However, OAR660-033-0130 also allows
existing buildings to be used for temporary hardship dwellings. This amendment will maintain
conformance with the existing standards of DCC 18.16.050(HX1Xa) and OAR 660-033-0130.
Section 18.16.050. Standards for Dwellings in the EFU Zones
247-21-000862-TA Page 4 of 8
DCC 18.16.050(4) references 18.16.030(A). 18.16.050(4) should reference 18.16.025(4) to
address "dwellings customarily provided in conjunction with farm use."
ln conformance with OAR 660-033-0135, the amendment adds "Except for seasonal farmworker
housing approved prior to 2001" to all references of "no other dwelling on the subject tract"
and/or "land." (See Exhibit D)
Chapter 18.32. MULTIPLE USE AGRICULTURAL ZONE - MUA
Section 18.32.030. Conditional Uses Permitted
DCC 18.32.030(AD) contains a reference to OAR 660-004-0040(7Xg), which does not exist. The
amendment adds the correct reference which outlines Goal 14 exceptions for new
manufactured home parks which exceed the density allowed under OAR 660-004-0040, (See
Exhibit E)
Chapter 18.35. FOREST USE ZONE; F-1
Section 18.35.050. Standards For Single-Family Dwellings
ln conformance with House Btl2225 and OAR 660-006-0027, the amendment adds additional
standards and clarifications for template dwellings approved in the Forest Zone, as well as
general conformance edits in line with the OAR language. The amendments associated with OAR
660-006-0027 do not become active across all jurisdictions until November 1,2021. (See Exhibit
F)
Chapter 18.40. FOREST USE ZONE; F-2
Section 18.40.050. Standards For Single-Family Dwellings
ln conformance with House Btl 2225 and OAR 660-006-0027, lhe amendment adds additional
standards and clarifications for template dwellings approved in the Forest Zone, as well as
general conformance edits in line with the OAR language. The amendments associated with OAR
660-006-0027 do not become active across alljurisdictions until November 1,2021. (See Exhibit
G)
chapter 18.67. TUMALO RURAL COMMUNITY ZONTNG DTSTRICTS
Section 18.67.O20. Residential (TuR) District
DCC 18.67.020(DX2Xb) currently reads "the standards set forth in DCC 18.67.020(CX1) shall
apply." This reference was unintentionally established by Ordinance 2020-010, as part of the
broader child care amendments. The amendment changes this reference back to its original
state, with the correct use listed as DCC 18.67.020(DX1).
247-21-000862-TA Page 5 of 8
Section 18.57.O4O. Commercial (TuC) District
DCC 18.67.040(D) currently contains a reference to DCC 18.67.040(CX11), which describes
wireless communication facilities. This reference was established by Ordinance 2020-010, as
part of the broader child care amendments. The previous reference listed under DCC
18.67.040(D) referred to "The following uses may be conducted in a building or buildings not to
exceed 1 0,000 square feet of floor space..." The amendment changes this reference back to its
original state, with the correct use listed as DCC 18.67.040(CX10). (See Exhibit H)
Chapter 18.74. RURAL COMMERCIAL ZONE
Section 18.74.020. Uses Permitted; Deschutes Junction And Deschutes River Woods Store
DCC 18.74.020(8) states "Uses Permitted Subject to Site Plan Review. The following uses and
their accessory uses are permitted subjectto the applicable provisions of this chapter and DCC
1 8.1 16 and 1 8.128." DCC 1 8.128 refers to the Conditional Use chapter rather than the Site Plan
chapter. The amendment alters DCC 18.74.020(8) to reflect the actual Site Plan chapter, DCC
18.124. (See Exhibit l)
Chapter 18.80. AIRPORT SAFETY COMBINING ZONE; A-S
Section 18.80.044. Land Use Compatibility
DCC 18.80.044(4) refers to FAA Order 5100.384. However, FAA Order 5100.38A has been
canceled and replaced with FAA Order 5100.38D. The amendment alters DCC 18.80.044(4) to
remove any specific FAA appendix or chapter references, but still maintain compliance with the
FAA guidance established in Order 51 00.38 (See Exhibit t)
Chapter'18.84. LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT COMBINING ZONE; LM
Section 18.84.010. Purpose
DCC 1 8.84.01 0 currently states "The purposes of the Land Management Combining Zone..." The
amendment corrects the reference to the zoning chapter title as "Landscape Management
Combining Zone;'(See Exhibit K)
Chapter 18.108. URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY ZONE; SUNRIVER
Section 18.108.110. Business Park; BP District
DCC 1 8.1 08.1 1 0(D) states ',Any of the uses listed in DCC 1 8.1 08.1 1 0(AX6) or (BX6) may be
allowed in a building or buildings each exceeding 8,000 square feet of floor space if the
Planning Director or Hearings Body finds..." Reference to 1 8.108.1 10(AX6) is for "Religious
institutions or assemblies." DCC 18.108.110(AX6) originally referred to "A building or buildings
each not exceeding 8,000 square feet of floor space..." This reference was unintentionally
247-21-000862-TA Page 6 of 8
altered pursuant to Ordinance 2012-002 and Ordinance 2019-008. Given the unintentional
reference changes, and the provisions of the Religious Land Use and lnstitutionalized Persons
Act (RLUIPA), the amendment changes this reference back to its original state, with the correct
use listed as DCC 18.108.110(AX8). (See Exhibit L)
chapter 18.116. SU PPLEMENTARY PROVISIONS
Section 18.116.250. Wireless Telecommunications Facilities
The amendment adds language to maintain compliance with federal law. ln accordance with
Section 6409 of The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act (2012), state and local
jurisdictions "may not deny, and shall approve any request for collocation, removal, or
replacement of transmission equipment on an existing wireless tower or base station."
Section 18.116.330. Marijuana Production, Processing, Retailing, And Wholesaling
DCC 18.1 16.330(8) needs clarification to match legislative intent. Specifically, DCC 18.116.330(8)
contains the language "A change in location for a marijuana production or processing use is
prohibited by DCC 18.120.010 and DCC 22.36.040 as any location change will have a greater
adverse impact on the neighborhood and/or significant additional impacts on surrounding
properties." As presently written, it is unclear if the code clarifies whether a "location change"
refers to intra-property changes, inter property changes, or both. Staff understands the
legislative intent to refer specifically to inter-property location changes (i.e. - relocation of a
marijuana production or processing use to another property). The amendment clarifies the
existing code language to match this legislative intent. (See Exhibit M)
Chapter 18.120. EXCEPTIONS
Section 18.120.010. Nonconforming Uses
DCC 18.120.010(FX3) states "For the purposes of DCC 18.120.010(EX2), an "alteration of a
nonconforming use" shall include any change in the use of the propertythat would constitute a
change in the nature or extent of the use of the property." The amendment charges the
reference to correctly identify the standards for "alteration of a nonconforming use." (See Exhihit
N)
D. Title 19. Bend Urban Growth Boundary Zoning Ordinance:
Chapter 19.76. SITE PLAN REVIEW
Section 19.76.090. Deschutes River Corridor Design Review
DCC 19.76.090 contains references to the "Bend Urban Area Planning Commission" as the
appropriate review body for development which requires site plan and design review in the
Deschutes River Corridor. However, the Bend Urban Area Planning Commission is no longer an
247-21-000852-TA Page 7 of 8
active review body. The amendment replaces this reference with the "Deschutes County
Planning Commission" as the appropriate review body for all new site plan development which
occurs in Title 19 areas associated with the Deschutes River Corridor. (See Exhibit O)
E. TitIE 22. DESCHUTES COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES ORDINANCE:
Chapter 22.04. INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS
Section 22.O4.O2O. Defi n itions
"Development Actions" (B) states: "lnvolves the application of standards other than those
referred to in DCC 22.040.030(4), such as the sign ordinance." DCC 22.04.030(A) has been
repealed. Ordinance 95-045 contains a reference to section (A) of the "Development Actions"
definition. Subsequent Ordinance96-071 provided each definition in DCC22.04 with a given a
section number, including section 22.04.030 for Development Actions. Subsequent ordinances
removed section numbers from definitions in Title 22 broadly. The amendment removes the
irrelevant section numbers from the "Development Actions" definition. (See Exhibit P)
chapter 22.24. LAND USE ACTTON HEARTNGS
Section 22.24.130. Close Of The Record
The amendment alters DCC 22.24.030(D)to match the requirements of ORS 197.763(6). (See
Exhibit Q)
V. CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided herein, the staff recommends the Board of County
Commissioners approve the proposed text amendments that make minor changes necessary to
clarify existing standards and procedural requirements, incorporate changes to state and federal
law, and to correct errors.

i. The dwelling or activities associated with the dwelling will not force a significant change in
or significantly increase the cost of accepted farming practices, as defined in ORS
215.203(2)(c), or accepted forest pmctices on nearby lands devoted to farm or forest use.
ii. The proposed nonfarm dwelling will not materially alter the stability of the overall land use
pattern of the area. In determining whether a proposed nonfarm dwelling will alter the
stability of the land use pattem in the area, the County shall consider the cumulative impact
of nonfarm dwellings on other lots or parcels in the area similarly situated, by applying the
standards under OAR 660-033-013O(aXaXD), and whether creation of the parcel will lead
to creation of other nonfarm parcels, to the detriment of agriculture in the area.
iii. The proposed nonfarm dwelling is situated on an existing lot or parcel, or a portion of a lot
or parcel that is generally unsuitable for the production of farm crops and livestock or
merchantable tree species, considering the terrain, adverse soil or land conditions, drainage
and flooding, vegetation, location and size ofthe tract.
iv. The proposed nonfarm dwelling is not within one-quarter mile of a dairy farm, feed lot or
sales yard, unless adequate provisions are made and approved by the Planning Director or
Hearings Body for a buffer between such uses. The establishment of a buffer shall be
designed based upon consideration ofsuch factors as prevailing winds, drainage, expansion
potential of affected agricultural uses, open space and any other factor that may affect the
livability of the nonfarmdwelling or the agriculture of the area.
v. Road access, fire and police services and utility systems (i.e., electrical and telephone) are
adequate for the use.
vi. The nonfarm dwelling shall be located on a lot or parcel created prior to January l,1993, or
was created or is being created as a nonfarm parcel under the land division standards in
DCC 18.16.05s(B) or (C).
2. For the purposes of DCC 18.16.050(G) only, "unsuitability" shall be determined with reference to
the following:
a. A lot or parcel or a portion of a lot or parcel shall not be considered unsuitable solely because of
size or location ifit can reasonably be put to farm or forest use in conjunction with other land.
If the parcel is under forest assessment, the dwelling shall be situated upon generally unsuitable
land for the production of merchantable tree species recognized by the Forest Practices Rules,
considering the terrain, adverse soil or land conditions, drainage and flooding, vegetation,
location and size ofthe parcel.
b. A lot or parcel or portion of a lot or parcel is not "generally unsuitable" simply because it is too
small to be farmed profitably by itself. If a lot or parcel or pofiion of a lot or parcel can be sold,
leased, rented or otherwise managed as parl of a commercial farm or ranch, it is not "generally
unsuitable." A lot or parcel or portion of a lot or parcel is presumed to be suitable if it is
composed predominantly of Class I-VI soils. Just because a lot or parcel or portion of a lot or
parcel is unsuitable for one farm use does not mean it is not suitable for another farm use. If the
parcel is under forest assessment, the area is not "generally unsuitable" simply because it is too
small to be managed for forest production profitably by itself.
c. Ifa lot or parcel under forest assessment can be sold, leased, rented or otherwise managed as a
part of a forestry operation, it is not "generally unsuitable." If a lot or parcel is under forest
assessment, it is presumed suitable if it is composed predominantly of soil capable of producing
20 cubic feet of wood fiber per acre per year. If a lot or parcel is under forest assessment, to be
EXHIBIT D Page l1 of12
found compatible and not seriously interfere with forest uses on surrounding land it must not
force a significant change in forest practices or significantly increase the cost ofthose practices
on the surrounding land.
3. Loss of tax deferral. Pursuant to ORS 215.236, a nonfarm dwelling on a lot or parcel in an
Exclusive Farm Use zone that is or has been receiving special assessment may be approved only on
the condition that before a building permit is issued the applicant must produce evidence from the
County Assessor's office that the parcel upon which the dwelling is proposed has been disqualified
under ORS 3084.050 to 3084.128 or other special assessment under ORS 308A.315, 321.257 to
321.390,321.100 to 321.754 or 321.805 to 321.855 and that any additional tax or penalty imposed

Chapter 18.80 AIRPORT SAFETY COMBINING ZONE - AS
18.80.044. Land Use Compatibility.
Applications for land use or building permits for properties within the boundaries of this overlay zone shall
comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 as provided herein. When compatibility issues arise, the
Planning Director or Hearings Body is required to take actions that eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility by choosing the most compatible location or design for the boundary or use. Where
compatibility issues persist, despite actions or conditions intended to eliminate or minimize the
incompatibility, the Planning Director or Headngs Body may disallow the use or expansion, except where
the action results in loss of current operational levels and/or the ability of the airport to grow to meet future
community needs. Reasonable conditions to protect the public safety may be imposed by the Planning
Director or Hearings Body. [ORS 836.619; ORS 836.623(1); OAR 660-013-0080]
A. Noise. Within airport noise impact boundaries, land uses shall be established consistent with the levels
identified in OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 5 (Table 2 of DCC 18.80). Applicants for any subdivision
or partition approval or other land use approval or building permit affecting land within airport noise
impact boundaries, shall sign and record in the Deschutes County Book of Records, a Declaration of
Anticipated Noise declaring that the applicant and his successors will not now, or in the future complain
about the allowed airport activities at the adjacent airporl. In areas where the noise level is anticipated
to be at or above 55 DNL, prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of a noise sensitive
land use (real property normally used for sleeping or as a school, religious institutions or assemblies,
hospital, public library or similar use), the permit applicant shall be required to demonstrate that a noise
abatement strategy will be incorporated into the building design that will achieve an indoor noise level
equal to or less than 55 DNL. INOTE: FAA Order 5100.384.€h+pte+-7-provides that interior noise
levels should not exceed 45 decibels in all habitable zones.]
B. Outdoor lighting. No new or expanded industrial, commercial or recreational use shall project lighting
directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into existing airporl approach surfaces except where
necessary for safe and convenient air travel. Lighting for these uses shall incorporate shielding in their
designs to reflect light away from airport approach surfaces. No use shall imitate airport lighting or
impede the ability of pilots to distinguish between airporl lighting and other lighting.
C. Glare. No glare producing material, including but not limited to unpainted metal or reflective glass,
shall be used on the exterior of structures located within an approach surface or on nearby lands where
glare could impede a pilot's vision.
D. Industrial emissions. No new industrial, mining or similar use, or expansion of an existing industrial,
mining or similar use, shall, as part of its regular operations, cause emissions of smoke, dust or steam
that could obscure visibility within airporl approach surfaces, except upon demonstration, supported by
substantial evidence, that mitigation measures imposed as approval conditions will reduce the potential
for safety risk or incompatibility with airport operations to an insignificant level. The review authority
shall impose such conditions as necessary to ensure that the use does not obscure visibility.
E. Communications Facilities and Electrical Interference. No use shall cause or create electrical
interference with navigational signals or radio communications between an airport and aircraft.
Proposals for the location of new or expanded radio, radiotelephone, and television transmission
facilities and electrical transmission lines within this overlay zone shall be coordinated with the
Department of Aviation and the FAA prior to approval. Approval of cellular and other telephone or
radio communication towers on leased property located within airport imaginary surfaces shall be
conditioned to require their removal within 90 days following the expiration of the lease agreement. A
bond or other security shall be required to ensure this result.
F. Limitations and Restrictions on Allowed Uses in the RPZ, Transitional Surface, Approach Surface, and
Airport Direct and Secondary Impact Areas.
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, the land uses identified in DCC 18.80 Table l,
and their accessory uses, are permitted, permitted under limited circumstances, or prohibited in the
EXHIBIT J Page I of2
manner therein described. In the event of conflict with the underlying zone, the more restrictive
provisions shall control. As used in DCC 18.80.044, a limited use means a use that is allowed subject to
special standards specific to that use.

a. The nonconforming use was lawfully established on or before the effective date of the
provisions of the zoning ordinance prohibiting the use or had proceeded so far toward lawful
completion as of the date it became nonconforming that a right to complete and maintain the
use would be vested;
b. The nonconforming use as it existed on the date it became nonconforming, considering the
nature and the extent of the actual use of the properly, has continued without abandonment or
intemrption; and
c. Any alteration in the nature and extent of the nonconforming use was done in compliance with
applicable zoning ordinance standards governing alterations of non-conforming uses.
3. For purposes of determining whether an abandonment or intemrption of use has occured, the
following shall apply:
a. The refercnce period for determining whether an abandonment or intemrption of a
nonconforming use or an aspect thereofhas occured shall be one year.
b. An abandonment or intemrption in a use or portion thereof may arise from the complete
cessation of actual use of a property for a one-year period or may arise from a change in the
nature or extent of the use made of the property for a one-year period or more.
c. An intemrption or abandonment that constitutes less than full cessation of the use or a pofiion
thereof may, in accordance with DCC 18.120.010(F)(4), result in a declaration of a continuing
use, but of a lesser intensity or scope than what would have been allowable if the nature and
extent of the use as of the date it became nonconforming had continued.
d. Absent an approved alteration, a change in the nature of the use may result in a determination
that the use has been abandoned or has ceased if there are no common elements between the
activities ofthe previous use and the current use.
e. Change of ownership or occupancy shall not constitute an intemrption or abandonment,
provided that, absent an approved alteration, the continuing use made of the property falls
within the allowed scope of use made of the properfy by previous owners or occupants.f. Factors to be considered in determining whether there has been a change in the nature and/or
extent of a use shall include, but are not limited to, consideration of the type of activities being
conducted, the operating characteristics of the activities associated with the use (including off-
site impacts of those activities), the frequency of use, the hours of operation, changes in
structures associated with the use and changes in the degree to which the activities associated
with the use occupy the site.
D. Maintenance of a nonconforming use. Normal maintenance of a verified nonconforming use or structure

greater adverse impact on the neighborhood.
EXHIBITN Page 2 of 3
3. For the purposes of DCC 18.120.010(EL)(2), an "alteration of a nonconforming use" shall include
any change in the use of the property that would constitute a change in the nature or extent of the
use of the property.
G. Procedure.
1. Any application for verification of a nonconforming use or to expand, alter, restore or replace a
nonconforming use shall be processed in conformance with the applicable procedures set forlh in
DC 18.120.010 and the applicable procedures of DCC Title22, the Deschutes County Uniform
Development Procedures Ordinance.
2. Notwithstanding DCC 22.20.010, the initial decision on an application for an alteration of a
nonconforming use shall be made administratively, without a public hearing. The Planning
Director may give prior notice of the pending application pursuant to DCC 22.20.020.
3. Except as allowed by DCC 18.120.010(FX3)(a), the burden of proof shall be on a verification
applicant to prove the existence, continuity, nature and extent ofthe use.
a. Notwithstanding DCC 22.24.050, if an applicant demonstrates by a preponderance of the
evidence that the nature and extent of the use sought to be verified is of the same nature and
extent as the use of the property for the ten-year period immediately preceding the application,
without intemrption or abandonment, it shall be presumed that the nonconforming use, as
proven, lawfully existed at the time the use became nonconforming and has continued without
intem.rption or abandonment until the date of application.b. The presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of evidence showing that the use was
unlawful prior to the time it became nonconforming, or that the use prior to the ten-year period
was ofa different nature or different in extent than the use, as proven, or that the use prior to the
ten-year period was intemrpted or abandoned. If the presumption is so rebutted, the
presumption shall disappear and be of no further aid to the applicant.
4. If the proof demonstrates the continued existence of a valid non-conforming use, but of a different
nature or extent than that claimed by the applicant, the Hearings Body may declare there to be a
valid nonconforming use to the extent proven.
5. An approval of a verification, replacement or restoration of a nonconforming use verification shall
not be conditioned; an approval shall be sufficiently detailed to describe the allowed parameters of
the verified use. However, ill approval of an alteration of a nonconforming use may be conditioned
in a manner calculated to ensure mitigation of adverse impacts so that the change has no greater
adverse impact to the neighborhood.6. After a decision has been rendered on an application for a verification of a nonconforming use
(including any appeals provided for under DCC Title 22 and under state law), the applicant shall not
be entitled to reapply under DCC 22.28.040 for another verification determination involving the
same use of the property.
