APPLICANT: Jim and Lori Wilson
21692 Rickard Road
Bend, OR 97701
0127-07 00
REQUEST: Applications for a Zone Change to change the
zoning on a parcel from UAR-10, Urban Area
Reserve, to CH, Highway Commercial, and a
partition to divide an 11.21 acre parcel into
two lots.
PLANNING STAFF
REPRESENTATIVE: Paul Blikstad
BURDEN OF PROOF: The applicant must establish that the proposed
zone change and partition conform with
Chapters 19.12., 19.52 and 19.116 of Title 19
of the Deschutes County Code, the Bend Area
General Plan and Title 22 of the Deschutes
County Code.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
1. LOCATION:
The subject property is located at 20520 Cooley Road, in Bend,
and is described on the County Assessor's map as 17-12-9C, Tax
Lot 400.
2. ZONE:
The subject property is zoned UAR-10, Urban Area Reserve, and
is designated Highway Commercial on the Bend Area General
Plan. The subject property is within the Inner Urban Growth
Boundary (IUGB) even though it is zoned urban reserve.
HEARING AND EXHIBITS
The hearing on the above -referenced application was held on May 4,
1993, at the City of Bend Public Works Building. The following
exhibits make up the record in this matter:
A. Application;
B. Burden of Proof Statement;
C. Aerial photograph;
D. Proposed partition map; and
E. Staff Report.
PAGE 1 - FINDINGS AND DECISION, File Nos. ZC-93-2, MP -93-6
012'7--0'-1'0 1
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Hearings Officer approves and incorporates the Criteria and
Findings of Fact set forth in the Staff Report attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "A", except as specifically modified in this decision.
BASED UPON the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Hearings Officer
hereby APPROVES the zone change as this area is designated as
commercial in the Bend Area General Plan, and such zoning would be
consistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan.
The Hearings Officer further APPROVES the partition. In approving
the partition, the Hearings Officer does not approve a specific use
for the subject property. It is recognized that sewer is probably
unavailable to this site for sometime in the near future. A low
intensity commercial use could, however, utilize a septic
drainfield if approved by the County Sanitarian. This Hearings
Officer further finds that the applicant will, at the time of any
application for a specific use, have to establish that there is
adequate water to this site. There is an Avion water line adjacent
to the property. However, this property is within the City of Bend
water service area. That issue will have to be resolved between
the applicant, the City of Bend, and Avion Water Company prior to
approval of any use of the property.
The partition is APPROVED subject to the following conditions:
1. The final mylar shall be prepared in accordance with
Title 17 of the Deschutes County Code. The partition
shall be surveyed and monumented by a licensed surveyor
and a final map submitted to the County Surveyor. The
final mylar shall include the exact lot sizes for each
parcel, including net and gross acreages.
2. The applicant shall obtain letters of acceptance and
completion from the utility companies demonstrating that
electric and phone service have been installed to each
lot.
3. The applicant shall dedicate right of way for Cooley Road
to 40 feet from the centerline. The applicant shall
submit a title report that demonstrates evidence of
marketable title to the property and that no encumbrances
exist on the land being dedicated. If any encumbrances
exist, they shall be removed prior to acceptance by the
County.
4. The applicant shall improve Cooley Road to a half -street
arterial road standard, with widening and a curb and
sidewalk along the property frontage. The applicant
shall improve Hunnell Road to an urban local standard
with a 36 -foot side paved road and a curb and sidewalk on
PAGE 2 - FINDINGS AND DECISION, File Nos. ZC-93-2, MP -93-6
0127--0102
the east side of the road. The applicant may, in lieu of
the improvements, assure their completion through bond or
other form of security approved by the County Legal
Counsel, prior to recording of the final plat.
5. The applicant shall meet all requirements of the County
Public Works Department for access permits.
6. The applicant shall sign sewer, water and annexation
agreements with the City of Bend for the subject property
prior to final approval.
7. Water rights for the subject parcels shall be indicated
on the final mylar, with the appropriate water right
certificate number or water right number, and the
signature of an authorized person from Swalley Irrigation
District on the final mylar.
B. All advalorem taxes, fees and other charges that have
become a lien upon the entire parcel shall be paid.
9. All easements shall be shown on the final mylar.
10. All conditions of preliminary approval shall be completed
and a final mylar drawing signed and recorded with the
County Clerk within one (1) year or the approval shall be
void.
THIS DECISION BECOMES FINAL TEN (10) DAYS FROM THE DATE MAILED,
UNLESS APPEALED.
DATED and MAILED this 20th day of May, 1993.

FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. LOCATION: The subject property is located at 20520
Cooley Road in Bend and is described on the County
Assessor's map as 17-12-9C, tax lot 400.
2. ZONING: The subject property is zoned UAR-10, Urban
Area Reserve, and is designated Highway Commercial on
the Bend Area General Plan. The subject property is
within the Inner Urban Growth Boundary (IUGB) even
though it is zoned urban reserve.
3. SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject property is 11.21 acres
and is generally level with a vegetative cover of
juniper trees and scrub brush. The property has.an
existing mobile home park located on the southern end.
Hunnell Road, an unimproved cinder road exists to the
west, and Cooley Road, a somewhat narrow paved road
exists to the south. Surrounding land use includes the
KOA campground facility to the east, a lumber yard and
the abandoned drive-in theater to the south, scattered
residences to the west, and vacant land to the north.
4. The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change on
the subject property from UAR-10, Urban Area Reserve, to
CH, Highway Commercial. The applicant is also
requesting approval of a Minor Partition to divide the
property into two lots of approximately 6 acres and 5
acres. The applicant has submitted a burden of proof
statement addressing the zone change criteria and
partition standards.
5. The Planning Division sent notice of.the proposed zone
change and partition to several public agencies and
received the following responses:
A. The County Public Works Department submitted the
following conditions:

4. A turnaround must be provided on the property
so that vehicles do not have to back out onto
Hunnell or Cooley Roads.
5. The applicant is to dedicate 40 feet of land
from the centerline along the entire frontage
of the property for additional public right of
way for Cooley Road.
6. The applicant is to make the following
improvements to Cooley Road: pave to 24 feet
from the centerline with a curb and sidewalk;
improve Hunnell Road to the local urban road
standard of 24 feet with a curb, or place
money in a trust account with the County for
these improvements.
7. The applicant is to install and maintain all
landscaping so as to not interfere with the
required sight distance at the intersection of
any driveway and Hunnell or Cooley Roads.or
the intersection of these two roads.
S. No new vehicular access shall be allowed
directly to Cooley Road.
9. The following services shall be provided to
each lot by the applicant or ensured through a
development agreement prior to signing of the
partition plat by the Public Works Director:
Power, telephone, acceptable road for ingress
and egress, public sewer or an approved septic
feasibility report from the County Sanitarian
(public sewer preferred if available), and an
acceptable public or private community water
system.
B. The City of Bend states the following recommended
conditions: .
1. The property is within the City of Bend water
franchise area. The applicants must extend
the existing 12 -inch waterline from the east
side of Highway 97 to the property to serve
the partition. The extension must be in
accordance with all City standards and
policies prior to final partitioning.
2. The existing sewer is.at the

3. The applicants do not appear to meet the zone
change criteria for promotion of an orderly
pattern and sequence of growth or the criteria
that this zone change will result in the
orderly extension and efficient extension or
provision of public services, which includes
sewer and water. The utilities are not in
place to justify this zone change at this
time. The applicants have not addressed the
zone change criterion that there is a proof of
change in circumstances or mistake in the
original zoning.
C. Deschutes Reclamation and Irrigation Company
(Swalley Water) states that they have no objections
to the proposed changes. They have enclosed a map
of the trailer park's water rights which appear to
have both rights and the pond in the area to be
partitioned out of the park.
D. The Bend Fire Department states that water will be
required for fire flows when any construction
begins.
E. The County Property Address Coordinator states that
the existing address is subject to change. If this
application is approved, the applicants will need
to contact the PAC for new addresses.
F. The Watermaster's Office states that the applicant
will need to check with Swalley I.D. to make sure
any water rights are taken care of before final
approval.
G. Cascade Natural Gas, US West Communications and
Avion Water Company had no comments.
6. The public notice for the proposed applications has not
been sent out at the time of writing of this staff
report.
7.. The subject property is a legal Lot of Record.
8. There are no surface mines adjacent to or within
one-half mile of the subject property.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. Section 19.116.030 of Title 19 establishes the
"Standards for Zone Change" as follows:
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6
PAGE 4
Exhibit
page
The burden of proof is upon the one seeking change. The
degree of that burden increases proportionately with the
degree of impact of the change which is sought. The
applicant shall in all cases establish: U1 0207-0767
207 .11 7 67
A. That the change conforms with the Comprehensive
Plan. Specifically, the change is consistent with
the plan's intent to promote an orderly pattern and
sequence of growth.
B. That the change will not interfere with existing
development, development potential or value of
other land in the vicinity of the proposed action.
C. That the change in classification for the subject
property is consistent with the purpose and intent
of the proposed zone classification.
D. That the change will result in the orderly and
efficient extension or provision of public
services. Also, that the change is consistent with
the County's policy for provision of public
facilities.
E. That there is proof of a change of circumstance or
a mistake in the original zoning.
2. The Bend Area General Plan has the following relating to
the proposed zone change.
Under the general policies and recommendations section,
the following two policies are applicable:
1. Urban development shall be encouraged in areas
where urban services can be provided and in a
manner which will minimize tax costs related to
necessary urban services such as schools, parks,
highways, police, garbage disposal, fire
protection, libraries, and other facilities and
services.
6. Commercial facilities should be allocated in a
reasonable amount and in a planned relationship to
the people they will serve. Efforts shall be made
to separate commercial and noncommercial uses
through the use of walls, fences, or landscaping,
and open space.
Highway commercial areas are intended to provide for
those uses which have large site requirements, or are
oriented to highway access, or provide service to the
traveling public. Uses could include motels, auto
agencies, building material sales, mobile home or
trailer sales, equipment sales and rental. In addition,
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6
PAGE 5
Exhibit .moi..
Page
0127-0708
highway commercial areas could include uses described
for limited commercial areas as well as commercial
recreation facilities, such as bowling alleys, drive-in
theaters, miniature golf courses, or similar activities.
Commercial areas designated on the plan generally
recognize and reinforce existing development and zoning
patterns within the planning area, and suggest locations
for additional commercial development. Most existing
commercial uses in the urban area occur as part of a
more or less continuous strip along the major north -
south and east -west routes through the city and in
downtown Bend. These commercial areas account for most
of the commercial land use in the planning area.
Although the plan recognizes the existing strip
commercial development along major highways in the area,
it strongly recommends that new commercial developments
occur in centers rather than as strips or extensions of
the existing strips along major highways. (emphasis
added)
The following Statements of Intent of the Plan for
commercial areas are applicable to the subject
application:
1. Strip commercial developments shown on the plan
along highways shall not be extended.
2. No new strip commercial shall be permitted along
major or secondary streets.
5. Zoning for commercial centers other than those
shown on the plan should be allocated on a basis of
apparent need, and this need should be supported by
"real world" data by the applicant.
9. Care should be taken to control the size of any
other new commercial developments that may be
required as growth occurs. Sites should not be
oversized to a point where additional uses which
would generate traffic from outside the intended
service area are necessary to make the development
an economic success.
Staff findings:
19.116.030
A.
Staff has reviewed the Bend Area General Plan with respect to
the highway commercial zone, specifically the policies and
statements of intent of the plan. Staff notes that the
subject property is already designated as highway commercial
on the plan and it is unclear whether the subject property
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6
PAGE 6
Exhibit
Page
was included in the assumptions based on the plan policies.
If it was included, which is highly likely, the subject
property has already determined to be an approp , a e site for
commercial development. 7-0709
For commercial development to occur on this property, public
utilities such as community sewer and water would need to be
constructed (provided) to the property. A mobile home park
exists on the south end of the property. The subject
property is far enough away from existing facilities to have
a significant financial investment required to develop the
property for commercial use. If a potential developer of the
property, presumably the north one-half which is vacant, were
to submit for site plan review for development, these
services would be required. No commercial use of the
property would be allowed without extending sewer and water
to the site. Whether that extension should occur at the
partition stage will be based on the nexus between the
partition and the requirements suggested by the City. With
the utilities extended, or agreements signed for sewer, water
and annexation, and the adjacent roads improved to urban
standards, the proposed zone change and potential development
would be consistent with the Plan's intent to promote an
orderly pattern and sequence of growth.
M
As stated above, the subject property is already designated
highway commercial on the Plan. The development in the area
includes commercial uses to the east, such as the ROA
campground, lumber yard, wrecking yard, mobile home and
recreational vehicle sales facilities, an abandoned drive-in
theater, and further to the south is the Mt. View Mall. To
the west is land developed at a low density, with a few
scattered dwellings and a church. -The subject property also
has the existing mobile home park. The proposed change will
have no impact on this development, nor interfere with the
development potential of either the commercial land to the
east and south, or the urban reserve land to the west. The
value of the land in the area will not be affected by the
proposed change. If there is a change, property values would
likely increase rather than decrease based on the change from
urban reserve to commercial.
C.
The purpose of the Highway Commercial zoning is stated both
in the Plan and implementing zoning ordinance as follows:
"This zone is intended to provide for those uses which have
large site requirements, or are oriented to highway access,
or provide service to the traveling public or are dependent
on thoroughfare travel. In addition, highway commercial
zones can include limited commercial uses and commercial
recreation facilities."
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6
PAGE 7
Exhibit
Page r _
0127-07 10
The proposed zone change will create a new 11.21 -acre
commercial area, of which five acres will be taken up by the
existing mobile home park. Staff finds that the mobile park
will probably be taken over by commercial use at some point
in the future if the zone change is approved. The remaining
6 -acre parcel has the potential for commercial development,
either for a large commercial use or several smaller ones.
It will have access to Hunnell Road and be accessible from
Highway 97 via Cooley Road and Hunnell. It will not have
direct frontage on the highway so the commercial uses that
may occupy it will probably not be ones that rely on
visibility for customers. Substantial investment costs in
developing the property will be needed, for sewer, water and
road installations.
FM
Public services in the area already include fire and police
protection, schools and parks. The subject property will
eventually be annexed to the City of Bend, and will have City
police and fire as part of the development of it. By the
time the property is developed for commercial use, the City
and County will probably have systems development charges
which will go towards public services such as parks.
Public facilities in the area now include roads, power and
phone, with possible cable and natural gas. The applicant
will be required to either improve or bond for improvement
the subject property's frontage on both Cooley Road and
Hunnell Road as part of the Partition approval. The
applicant should also sign sewer, water and annexation
agreements with the City of Bend. The installation of the
city facilities can be required either at the Partition stage
or at the time of further development of the property. The
Hearings Officer must decide which is the more appropriate.
E.
Staff is not sure as to the reasons for the subject property
being designated highway commercial on, the Plan, and having
it zoned urban reserve. This property, along with the
property directly east are both in the same situation,
designated commercial, zoned urban reserve. It is only a
matter of time before the remainder of tax lot 500 is also
changed to commercial, as the part of it used for the
campground already is commercial. Staff does not necessarily
believe the zoning is a mistake. There appears to be a
change of circumstance, as much of the highway commercial
land is being developed, such as for large commercial uses
for ShopKo, Fred Meyer, Wagners, Wal-Mart, Costco, as well as
the property to the south for a possible relocation of Food 4
Less and a new Ernst store. The Bend Parkway will also take
out some land zoned highway commercial. The subject property
is within the IUGB and is designated for commercial use on
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6

the Plan. Staff finds that there is a change of circumstance
since the.Plan was updated in 1979. Almost fourteen years of
development have occurred, some of it in large chunks, as
mentioned above.
01207-07 11
3. Conformance with Section 17.28.020 of Title 17.
17.28.020 Requirements for approval.
A. No application for partition shall be approved unless
the following requirements are met:
1. Proposal is in compliance with Oregon Revised
Statutes Chapter 92, the comprehensive plan and
applicable zoning;
2. Proposal does not conflict with existing public
access easements within or adjacent to the
partition;
3. Each parcel is suited for the use intended or
offered;
4. All required public services and facilities are
available and adequate or are proposed to be
provided by the petitioner;
5. An approved water rights division plan, if
applicable;
6. Partitions adjoining SM zones shall be approved on
the condition that deeds for parcels created by the
partition will contain a statement noting the
existence and location of such zones in relation to
the subject parcel.
Staff findings:
A. (1)
The proposed partition will be in compliance with ORS Chapter
92 if all requirements of Title 17 are met. The proposed
partition will be in compliance with the comprehensive plan
and zoning if the applicant improves the two roads adjacent
to the property or bonds for the improvements. The applicant
must also sign sewer, water and annexation agreements with
the City of Bend. The City has requested that the applicant
install city sewer and water service to the property. It is
obvious that the installation of these public facilities will
involve significant expense. It may be more appropriate to
construct the sewer and water improvements at the time the
property is further developed. The Hearings Officer must
decide whether the sewer and water improvements are warranted
at the Partition stage. The road improvements or bonding or
ZC-93-2,MP-93-6
PAGE 9
Exhibit
Page
other form of security for the road improvements are required
at the time of Partition. The County Subdivision/Partition
Ordinance does not mandate that the sewer be installed at the
time of partitioning.
A. (2)
01A2 7--a;12
The proposed partition does not conflict with any existing
public access easements. The partition drawing submitted by
the applicant indicates there is a driveway from the mobile
home park to the KOA campground to the east. This is not
affected by the partition. Both parcels in the partition
will have direct access to a public road, either Cooley Road
or Bunnell Road. The applicant will be required to either
improve the roads or bond for the road improvements. This
will include a half -street improvement to Cooley, with
widening and a curb and sidewalk. Hunnell Road will need to
be paved to the urban standard, with a curb and sidewalk on
the east side.
A. (3)
The proposed partition will create two parcels, one with the
existing mobile home park of approximately five acres, and
the remainder lot of approximately six acres. The applicant
will need to verify that the septic system(s) for the mobile
home park are not impacted by the partition. With this
verified, each parcel should be suited for the intended use.
A. (4)
The required public services are already in place, such as
police and fire protection. The required public facilities
in this instance include roads, power and phone. The City
has requested that the applicant construct city sewer and
water service to the site for the partition. This may not be
necessary until commercial development of the property
occurs. The applicant will be required to either improve
Cooley and Hunnell Roads, or bond for this improvement.
Power and phone service to the northerly lot will also be
required if it isn't already in place.
A. (5)
Arnold Irrigation District has indicated that they have no
objection to the partition. The applicant will be required
to meet all of Arnold's conditions for partitioning, and have
the authorized person from the District sign the final mylar.
A. (6)
As stated in a foregoing finding, there are no surface mines
adjacent to or within one-half mile of the subject property.

4. The proposed parcels meet the zoning ordinance
requirement for a minimum depth of 100 feet and the
partition ordinance for a minimum of 50 feet of road
frontage.
CONCLIISIONS AND RECOMENDATION: Olti7`O 113
Staff finds that the applicant has met the criteria of
Section 19.116.030 of Title 19 for a zone change from urban
area reserve to highway commercial and thus recommend
approval of the zone change.
The applicant has met the criteria for a partition of the
subject property. The City has requested that the applicant
install city sewer and water service to the property for the
partition. The Hearings Officer must decide if there is a
reasonable nexus between the partition creating two parcels
and installing sewer and water to the site.
