Declaring an Emergency
ORDINANCE NO. 93-059
WHEREAS, the Deschutes County Fair Board and Fair Association
proposes to move the County fairgrounds to a new site on certain real
property located southeast of the City of Redmond;
WHEREAS, the location of the new proposed fairgrounds would render
obsolete existing language in the Redmond Urban Area Comprehensive
Plan;
WHEREAS, public hearings have been held on the request consistent
with state and county law; and
WHEREAS, the Redmond Urban Area Planning Commission recommended
adoption of the amendments as proposed; now therefore,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY ORDAINS as
follows:
Section 1. AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL LAND USE SECTION. The text of
PL -18, the Redmond Urban Area Comprehensive Plan (as set forth in the
plan document dated October 1979), found in the General Land Use
section at paragraph 3 of page 21 is amended to read as follows:
"Future expansion of commercial and general aviation
activities at Roberts Field, and availability of land surplus
to airport requirements, offer potential for developing a
Tourist -Transportation Center between the airport terminal
area and the proposed interchange of the alternate arterial
route and realigned U.S. 126. This development opportunity
would be enhanced by expansion of the adjacent golf course to
18 holes (and relocation of the Fairgrounds onto County land
north of the Tourist -Transportation Center]. Development of
this commercial area is considered dependent upon
construction of the alternate arterial route, realignment and
extension of U.S. 126, construction of adjacent complementary
facilities, market demands and the institution of a vigorous
promotional program."
Section 2. AMENDMENTS TO URBANIZATION SECTION. The text of
PL -18, the Redmond Urban Area Comprehensive Plan (as set forth in the
plan document dated October 1979) , found in the Urbanization section on
1 - ORDINANCE NO. 93-059
page 33 under the heading "Public Lands Allocations - FincV14s" as
Finding No. 3 is amended to read as follows:
"3. Deschutes County Fairgrounds
The Deschutes County Fairgrounds are currently located
in the [the] center of downtown Redmond. There is no
off street parking available and the facilities are
generally outdated. It is desirable to keep the
fairgrounds in Redmond because of the City's central
location. But the facility must be moved out of an
already busy part of the City to a location that can
properly accommodate the operation. [An area east of
downtown Redmond has been designated open space/park
reserve for the new fairgrounds.]"
Section 3. AMENDMENTS
text of PL -18, the Redmond
in the plan document dated
Facilities section on page
amended to read as follows.
"County Fairgrounds
TO PUBLIC SERVICE FACILITIES SECTION. The
Urban Area Comprehensive Plan (as set forth
October 1979), found in the Public Service
87 under the heading "County Fairgrounds" is
Deschutes County Fair Facilities occupy a little over 34
acres of land within the City. A majority of the facilities
which accommodate fair functions are of older wood frame
construction and have definite limitation in regard to uses
other than typical fair programs.
Diversification in economy and public interest are
presenting new demands to older fair facilities which were
designed and constructed primarily for traditional
agriculturally oriented fairs. This exemplified by current
trends in Lane, Douglas, and Jackson Counties, where fair
operation account for approximately one month of facility
utilization and the remaining portion of the year is devoted
to convention activity, trade shows, exhibits and the like.
Therefore, existing fair facility reorientation and new
construction are reflecting broader utilization of facilities
to meet demands of the public. The Crook County facilities
at Prineville and resultant use benefits exemplify this
factor.
[Considering public ownership of considerable acreage
north of the airport, this would provide an opportunity to
reserve 120-160 acres for a long-range development program
for Tri -County Fair activities, Agricultural Services Center,
convention and exposition activities.]"

in the 1974 Plan] should be implemented as soon as
possible, including an indoor arena as a major
consideration."
Section 5. FINDINGS. In support of its decision, the Board
adopts the findings and recommendations of the Redmond Urban Area
Planning Commission, attached to Ordinance 93-058 as Exhibit "E" and
incorporated herein by this reference.
