acres from Limited
Commercial to Urban Standard
Residential, and a Zone
Change on 48.31 acres from Urban Standard Residential to
Limited Commercial.
STAFF CONTACT: Paul Blikstad, Associate Planner
I. APPLICABLE CRITERIA:
A. Chapters 19.12 and 19.44 of Title 19 of the Deschutes County Code establishes
uses and standards for the RS, Urban Standard Residential and CL, Limited
Commercial zones, respectively.
B. Chapter 19.116 of Title 19 establishes standards and criteria for zone change
requests.
C. The Bend Area General Plan establishes an overall planning and development
framework for the Bend urban area, including criteria for plan amendments, and
goals and policies.
D. Oregon Administrative Rules 660-12-060 establishes criteria for plan amendments
relating to transportation facilities.

applications in the county; Chapter 22.20, Review of Land Use Action
Applications; Chapter 22.24, Land Use Action Hearings; Chapter 22.28, Land Use
Action Decisions.
H. FINDINGS OF FACT:
LOCATION: The subject property is located on the west side of the Bend urban
area adjacent to the intersection of Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive and
near Moutaineer Way. The property is identified on County Assessor's map 18-
12-6, as tax lots 102, 400 and 900.
Page 1 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3)
Exhibit
Page of 1Q
Ordinance .97-0190
al _=LIU6
2. ZONING: The subject property is currently zoned RS, Urban Standard Density
Residential. Tax lot 102 is currently designated Limited Commercial on
approximately 45.77 acres (in addition to 1.78 acres not included in the proposed
changes) and Park on approximately 2.14 acres; those portions of tax lots 2, 400
and 900 located north of Mt. Washington Drive and west of the sixteenth line are
designated Park by the Bend Area General Plan.
3. SITE DESCRIPTION: (See applicant's description of the subject property on
page three of the burden of proof statement.)
4. PROPOSAL: As indicated above, the applicant is requesting plan amendments
and zone changes for the subject property. These proposed changes can be
described as follows:
Amend the Plan designation on those portions of tax lots 102, 400 and 900
north of Mt. Washington Drive, west of the sixteenth section line and south
of the northern right of way line of a proposed "future roadway" from Park
to Limited Commercial, for a total of approximately 4.33 acres, or 5.31
acres if the "proposed" road is included.
Amend the Plan designation on that portion of tax lot 102 south of Mt.
Washington Drive and west of Mountaineer Way from Limited
Commercial to Urban Standard Residential.
Rezone those portions of tax lots 102, 400 and 900 north of Mt.
Washington Drive listed above from RS, Standard Density Residential to
CL, Limited Commercial.
The applicant is proposing no plan change or zone change for that portion of tax
lot 102 east of Mountaineer Way at this time. This portion of tax lot 102 is
designated limited commercial and zoned standard residential.
The applicant has described the surrounding land uses on pages 34 of the burden
of proof statement. Staff added that in the surrounding area are residential uses
including the Broken Top planned unit development and the West Ridge
subdivision, as well as the Bend Athletic Club and the Mt. Bachelor Village
development.
6. The Planning Division sent notice of the proposed land use applications to several
public agencies and received the responses set forth in the Staff Report.
7. The applicant submitted a burden of proof statement addressing the relevant
substantive criteria along with a map showing the proposed plan and zone changes.
S. The plan amendment and zone change applications were accepted as complete on
August 14, 1997. According to Section 22.20.040 (D) of Title 22 of the County
Code, the plan amendment application is not subject to the 120 -day limit for
review. The record was closed at the conclusion of the hearing.
Page 2 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3)
Q-1 Sv---1031
III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
The following language is taken from page 69 of the Bend Area General Plan for
plan amendments:
"Plan changes shall be consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and
statements of intent of the Plan, or these guidelines shall be first changed or
amended to reflect new policies. An individual requesting a change shall
demonstrate that the change is warranted due to changed conditions, a
mistake, or other specific facts that demonstrate a public need and benefit for
the change."
FINDING: The applicant has requested a Plan Amendment to include the area
described as that portion of tax lots 102, 400 and 900 north of Mt. Washington
Drive, west of the sixteenth section line in the southwest quarter of section 6 in
Township 18 South, Range 12 East, and south of the north right of way line of a
proposed road on the property that is to tie in with Mt. Washington Drive. The
applicant is proposing to amend the plan for this area from a Park designation to a
Limited Commercial designation. The applicant has addressed the above criteria
on pages 6-16 of the burden of proof statement for the plan amendment.
I agree that the change is warranted due to changed conditions, namely, the
existence of Mt. Washington Drive which has isolated this land from the park land
to the south. In addition, a recent zone change on land adjacent to the west to
SM, Surface Mine, limits the use of the subject property for residential purposes.
There was testimony from the director of the Bend Metro Parks and Recreation
District that it has a tentative agreement with the applicant to purchase the 2.77 -
acre portion of tax lot 102 west of Mountaineer Way within the next two to three
years. However, the agreement is contingent upon funding. While I agree with
Staff that a Park designation would be logical, given the tenuous nature of the
acquisition agreement I find insufficient evidence to warrant changing the
designation to Park. The applicant's proposal to re -designate to RS from CL is an
appropriate offset to the loss of RS property discussed above and the
corresponding addition of CL zoned property.
Under the Residential Areas, general policies section:
All residential areas shall be provided
for safe, healthful, convenient urban
development.
with services and facilities necessary
living consistent with the density of
FINDING: The proposed change to residential for that portion of tax lot 102
south of Mt. Washington Drive will allow development close to a school, park,
places of employment, as well as the commercial area that will be developed on the
subject property. These amenities provide for healthful and convenient urban
living.
7. Residential developments shall be permitted only in areas with community
water and sewer services and their locations should have good access to
major streets and be near commercial services and/or public open space.
FINDING: Community sewer and water services are available to the subject
property. Two major streets, Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive, will serve
Page 3 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3)
the proposed development. With the rezoning to commercial on the acreage north
of Mt. Washington Drive, the distance to residential areas will be short and
convenient for local residents. Walking and biking to the commercial center will
be possible.
Under the Residential Policies section of the Plan the following would apply.-
6.
pply:6. All residential areas shall be provided with community water and sewer
service.
FINDING: The proposed RS zone would require sewer and water connections to
the City of Bend's systems.
8. New developments in existing residential areas shall respect the character
and quality of the areas in which they locate.
FINDING: Any future development of the 2.77 -acre residential area will be
reviewed for its impact on the character and quality of the existing area.
Under the Commercial Areas - Statements of Intent of the Plan, the following
would apply:
1. Strip commercial developments shown on the Plan along highways shall
not be extended.
2. No new strip commercial development shall be permitted along major or
secondary streets..
6. Care should be taken to control the size of these centers so that excessive
zoning does not require the addition of other kinds of uses which would
generate traffic from well beyond the service area.
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 trafficfrom outside the intended service area, are necessary to make the
development an economic success.
FINDING: As stated by the applicant, it is the opinion of the City, as well as the
County, that because the subject property has been designated on the Plan as
Limited Commercial since the plan was adopted, the proposed rezoning does not
constitute new strip commercial. The minor change in the amount of commercially
zoned land, adding 4.3 acres and taking out 2.77 acres, makes the proposed
changes reasonable. The change from a park designation to commercial on land
that is not suitable for park development and is separated from the rest of the Park
District's property by Mt. Washington Drive, is logical.
Under the Parks section of the Plan the following are applicable:
2. Park and recreation development is a vital part of the future livability of the
area, and efforts shall be made to keep these facilities abreast of growth.
3. Park sites should be acquired well in advance of need so that they can be
reserved for community use before the cost of acquisition becomes
Page 4 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3 )
prohibitive.
4. Parks should be located within walking distance of every dwelling unit in
the community.
Parks should be centrally located and easily accessible to the areas they are
intended to serve.
FINDING: The Parks District is a party to these applications as it is a property
owner (tax lot 9400). The District is in agreement with the change from a Park
designation to Commercial. This land is separated from the Skyliners ballfields
complex by Mt. Washington Drive and the parcel configurations on the north side
of Mt. Washington are awkward. By possibly obtaining other land the District can
implement the Park plan more easily.
Staff recommended redesignating the 2.77 acres from limited commercial to a park
designation believing that a park designation would make this 2.77 acres consistent
with the desired goal of the Parks District and would help replace the 5.31 acres to
be deleted from a park designation. Both applicants testified to this consistency
but felt it premature and therefore inappropriate to burden this portion with a park
designation. I agree that the park designation is premature under the
circumstances. When, and if, the acquisition agreement becomes firm, the land
could be re -zoned.
2. Section 19.116.030 establishes the following zone change criteria:
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:
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.
FINDING: There is only one zone change requested under this zone change
application. The request is to change from Urban Standard Residential (RS) to
Limited Commercial (CL) that portion of tax lots 102, 400 and 900 north of Mt.
Washington Drive and south of the north right-of-way line of the proposed future
roadway. The existing 2.77 -acre portion of tax lot 102 south of Mt. Washinaton
Drive and west of Mountaineer Way is already zoned Urban Standard Residential.
The proposed zoning of the 43 -acre portion of tax lot 102 is consistent with the
existing Plan designation of Limited Commercial. The addition of approximately
4.3 acres of commercial is also consistent with the Plan, as addressed in the
foregoing findings and the applicant's burden of proof. By having the property
surrounded by three roads, Century Drive, Mt. Washington Drive and the
proposed future roadway on the north side of tax lot 102, an orderly sequence of
growth can occur. The commercial area will be separated from residential and
other uses by a logical barrier - roads. Currently the area north and west of the
proposed commercial zone is zoned SM, Surface Mining. This area will one day
be reclaimed and may be converted to a park or other recreational use. A park
would be a reasonable use next to a commercial development.

B. That the change will not interfere with existing development,
development potential or value of other land in the vicinity of the
proposed action.
FINDING: The proposed zone change to commercial is consistent with the plan
as stated in foregoing findings. The existing development in the area includes the
Cascade Middle School facility, Skyliners ballfield complex, the now -closed
County demolition landfill, a surface mining operation, the Mt. Bachelor Village
development, which includes the Bend Athletic Club, as well as the West Ridge
and Broken Top residential developments. The school site and the ballfield
complex will not change in the foreseeable future. The surface mining site will not
significantly change until the resource is fully extracted and reclamation is
completed. The demolition landfill will be reclaimed and potentially used for open
space or park uses. The Broken Top development will continue to be built out, in
accordance with the approved master plan. Additional phases will be platted and
dwelling units constructed within the Broken Top boundaries. A few lots remain
undeveloped within the West Ridge development. The proposed commercial
zoning should not interfere with this development potential.
The commercial designation for most of tax lot 102 has been in place for many
years. The addition of approximately 4.3 acres of commercial land (5.31 minus the
.98 acre of proposed right-of=way) will be closer to the Broken Top development.
However, this should not affect the value of land within the Broken Top project.
The residential areas of Broken Top, with the exception of the proposed multi -unit
development currently referred to as Mountain Shadows at Broken Top, would
not have the commercial area within view. A few of the lots within the West
Ridge subdivision would have the commercial area in view.
The applicant has correctly stated on page 26 of the burden of proof that the
proposed zone change will cause traffic to be generated in this area. These
impacts will be required to be mitigated either through improvements to the
existing transportation system or systems development charges or both. Forty-
three acres of the proposed zone change has already been designated for
commercial development in the Plan. it was envisioned that this area would have
commercial development. The road network, which included Century Drive and
Mt. Washington Drive, would have the capacity to handle the traffic if improved.
The net increase of approximately 1.6 acres of commercial will not significantly
change what was originally envisioned for a transportation system in this area. A
traffic study will be required for any development of this land during the site plan
review process. The site plan review process can determine what mitigation
measures are necessary for impacts created by proposed development at the site.
I find this criterion is met.
C. That the change in classification for the subject property is consistent
with the purpose and intent of the proposed zone classification.
FINDING: The purpose of the CL zone is listed under the Plan and Title 19 as
follows:
"This zone is intended to establish locations for the development of commercial
centers to provide for the shopping and service requirements for large sections of
the community and to recognize existing uses both in centers and as parts of
commercial strips."
Page 6 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3)
0163-10135
Forty-three acres of this land has previously been designated limited commercial in
the Bend Area General Plan. It was determined to be an appropriate location for a
commercial center on the west side of Bend. Adding a total of 1.6 acres is also
consistent with the zone and the intent to have a commercial center. The proposed
commercial zone will be surrounded on all sides by public roads, which can serve
the site. Traffic mitigation will likely be required at the time of development.
I find that the proposal is consistent with the purpose and intent of the CL zone.
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.
FINDING: The public services and facilities for development of the subject
property are already available. Sewer and water service have been in place in this
area for several years. Fire protection is available from the Bend Fire Department
through the rural fire district, until such time as the property is annexed into the
City. Police protection is available from the County Sheriff until such time as it is
annexed into the City. Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive abut the project
and are improved. Other roads in the area are improved. Some upgrade of the
surrounding roads is likely through the development of the property. I find that
the proposed zone change will result in the orderly and efficient extension of public
facilities and services and that this criterion is met.
E. That there is proof of a change of circumstance or a mistake in the
original zoning.
FINDING: The applicant has listed (pages 28-29 of the burden of proof
statement) what it believes to be the change of circumstances since the original
zoning was established. Staff concurred with the applicant's proposed findings.
As discussed above, sewer is now available, Mt. Washington Drive has been
improved and Century Drive has been widened. There has also been new
development in the area. The Broken Top project has had over 400 lots platted
and there are 866 dwelling units proposed within its boundaries. There have been
other developments on the west side of Bend, along with the overall growth of the
community, which have made this zone change more feasible. The increase of
tourism and traffic in Bend, specifically to Mt. Bachelor and the other recreational
amenities on Century Drive, has made the commercial development of this
property more likely.
I find that the proposed zone change to limited commercial is warranted due to the
change of circumstances and is consistent with the Bend Area General Plan.
Conformance with OAR 660-12-060
(1) Amendments to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans,
and land use regulations which significantly affect a transportation
facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the
identified function, capacity and level of service of the facility. This
shall be accomplished by either:
(a) Limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the planned function,
capacity and level of service of the transportation facility;
Page 7 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3 )
(b) Amending the TSP to provide transportation facilities adequate to
support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of
this division, or,
(c) Altering land use designations, densities, or design requirements to
reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through
other modes.
FINDING: The proposed plan amendment to change the Plan designation on 4.3
net acres from park to commercial will be consistent with the Plan as outlined in
foregoing findings; the net result is 1.6 additional acres of commercial land. Both
Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive are designated arterials on the Bend
Area Transportation Plan Map. Their function is to carry a majority of the traffic
on this southwest portion of Bend. The impacts to these roads will be addressed
at the time of site plan review for any commercial development. In addition,
systems development charges will be included with any commercial development
of the site. Limiting allowed land uses or altering land use designations or densities
is not necessary in order to approve the plan change and zone change.
(2) A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a
transportation facility if it:
(a) Changes the functional classification of an existing or planned
transportation facility;
FINDING: The proposed zone change to commercial will not change the
functional classification of either Century Drive or Mt. Washington Drive, which
will remain as arterial streets on the Bend transportation plan. These two streets
will carry a significant amount of traffic and are two of the primary roads on the
west side of Bend. Forty three of the proposed 47.3 acres of commercial land was
already designated for commercial development on the Plan.
(b) Changes standards implementing a functional classification system;
FINDING: The proposed plan change for 4.3 net acres (excluding .98 acres for
the future roadway) will not change the standards for the classification system.
These two roads, Century Drive and Mt. Washington Drive, will continue to
function as arterials and carry most of the traffic for this portion of Bend. The
road improvement standards for these streets will be determined when a
development proposal is submitted.
(c) Allows types or levels of land uses which would result in levels of
travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional
classification of a transportation facility; or
(d) Would reduce the level of service of the facility below the minimum
acceptable level identified in the TSP.
FINDING: The Limited Commercial zone lists the following as permitted uses:
Ambulance service, antique shop, appliance sales and repair, art galleries, libraries
and reading rooms, artist supplies and picture framing, auto parts sales, automobile
sales, bakery, beauty shop, bank or other financial institution, barber shop, book or
Page 8 (PA-97-6/ZC-97-3 )

stationery store, clothing store or tailor shop, clothes cleaning pick-up agency,
laundry or dry cleaning or self-service laundry, confectionery or delicatessen, dairy
products sales, drug store, dry good store, millinery shop or dress shop, florist
shop, food store, health food store, frozen food locker, furniture store, home
furnishing store, garden supply store, gift shop, notion or variety store, hardware
store or paint store, hobby shop, toy store, jewelry store, leather goods and
luggage, musical instruments, medical and dental clinic and office, motel or hotel,
business or professional office, pet shop, photographic supplies and studio, printer,
radio and television sales and service, radio and television broadcasting studios and
facilities, restaurant, bar and cocktail lounge, shoe store, shoe repair shop, service
station, upholstery shop, technical and business schools, day care center facilities,
business terminal.
These types of uses do not all generate large volumes of traffic. Some of the uses,
such as food (grocery) stores or a service station, would generate more traffic than
others. Any development in the limited commercial zone will require a traffic
impact analysis, which would help the agencies (city, county, & state) to determine
what improvements need to be made to adjacent streets.
The rezoning to commercial for most of tax lot 102 and the addition of a net
increase of approximately 1.6 acres of commercial land will not reduce the level of
service for Mt. Washington Drive and Century Drive below a minimum acceptable
level for arterials. These roads are intended to carry large volumes of traffic as
arterials. Road improvements necessary for these two roads will be determined at
the time of site plan review.
(3) Determinations under subsections
coordinated with affected
transportation facility and service
governments.
(1) and (2) of this section shall be
providers and other affected local
(4) The presence of a transportation facility or improvement shall not be
a basis for an exception to allow residential, commercial, institutional
or industrial development on rural lands under this division or OAR
660-04-022 and 028.
FINDING: The City of Bend, ODOT and the County Road Department have all
commented on the proposed applications. Review of the impacts on the adjacent
transportation facilities for any development of this property will occur at the time
of site plan submittal. Pre -application meetings with all three agencies will be
required prior to any land use application submittal to ensure that the land use
application is complete, including a detailed traffic impact analysis.
The applicant is not proposing an exception for residential development on rural
land based on the presence of a transportation facility or improvement.
