18.84.080. Design review standards.
The following standards will be used to
evaluate the proposed site plan:
A. Except as necessary for construction of
access roads, building pads, septic drainfields,
public utility easements, parking areas, etc., the
existing tree and shrub cover screening the
development from the designated road, river, or
stream shall be retained. This provision does not
prohibit maintenance of existing lawns, removal
of dead, diseased or hazardous vegetation; the
commercial harvest of forest products in
accordance with the Oregon Forest Practices Act,
or agricultural use of the land.
B. It is recommended that new structures
and additions to existing structures be finished in
muted earth tones that blend with and reduce
contrast with the surrounding vegetation and
landscape of the building site.
C. No large areas, including roofs, shall be
finished with white, bright or reflective materials.
Roofing, including metal roofing, shall be
nonreflective and of a color which blends with
the surrounding vegetation and landscape. This
subsection shall not apply to attached additions to
structures lawfully in existence on April 8, 1992,
unless substantial improvement to the roof of the
existing structure occurs.
D. Subject to applicable rimrock setback
requirements or rimrock setback exception
standards in section 18.84.090(E), all structures
shall be sited to take advantage of existing
vegetation, trees and topographic features in
order to reduce visual impact as seen from the
designated road, river or stream. When more than
one nonagricultural structure is to exist and no
vegetation, trees or topographic features exist
which can reduce visual impact of the subject
structure, such structure shall be clustered in a
manner which reduces their visual impact as seen
from the designated road, river, or stream.
E. Structures shall not exceed 30 feet in
height measured from the natural grade on the
side(s) facing the road, river or stream. Within
the LM Zone along a state scenic waterway or
federal wild and scenic river, the height of a
structure shall include chimneys, antennas, flag
poles or other projections from the roof of the
structure. This section shall not apply to
0163-1091
agricultural structures located at least 50 feet
from a rimrock.
F. New residential or commercial driveway
access to designated landscape management
roads shall be consolidated wherever possible.
G. New exterior lighting, including security
lighting, shall be sited and shielded so that it is
directed downward and is not directly visible
from the designated road, river or stream.
H. The Planning Director or Hearings Body
may require the establishment of introduced
landscape material to screen the development,
assure compatibility with existing vegetation,
reduce glare, direct automobile and pedestrian
circulation or enhance the overall appearance of
the development while not interfering with the
views of oncoming traffic at access points or
views of mountains, forests and other open and
scenic areas as seen from the designated
landscape management road, river or stream.
Use of native species shall be encouraged.
(Formerly section 18.84.080(C))
I. No signs or other forms of outdoor
advertising that are visible from a designated
landscape management river or stream shall be
permitted. Property protection signs (No
Trespassing, No Hunting, etc.,) are permitted.
J. A conservation easement as defined in
section 18.04.280 "Conservation Easement" and
specified in section 18.116.220 shall be required
as a condition of approval for all landscape
management site plans involving property
adjacent to the Deschutes River, Crooked River,
Fall River, Little Deschutes River, Spring River,
Squaw Creek and Tumalo Creek. Conservation
easements required as a condition of landscape
management site plans shall not require public
access. (Ord. 97-068 § 1, 1997; Ord. 93-043 §§
