23.40.040 Rural Service Centers -
Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton,__ -end Millican,
Whistelstop and Wildhunt.
A Rural Service Center is characterized as an
unincorporated community consisting
primarily of commercial or industrial uses
providing goods and services to the
surrounding rural area or to persons traveling
through the area, but which also includes some
permanent residential dwellings.
A. Introduction.
The predominant land use in the areas
surrounding the Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton
and Millican, Rural Service Centers is
farming and ranching. The predominant land
use in the areas surrounding Whistlestop and
Wildhunt is forest, ranching and rural
residential. The unincorporated rural service
centers serve the needs of the surrounding
rural areas as well as the needs of the
traveling public. Three of the communities
are located on Highway 20 east of Bend.
Millican is 26 miles, Brothers is 42 miles and
Hampton is 64 miles east of Bend. Alfalfa is
located approximately 11 miles east of Bend
on Willard Road. All of these eeffimunifies,
as -well --as the--suffeund'
b J
Whistlestop is located approximately 30
miles southwest of Bend on burgess Road.
Wildhunt is located approximately 26 miles
south of Bend at the junction of HiH•ghway 97
and Hi . lg Tway 31.
The communities of Alfalfa, Brothers and
Hampton have approved public water
systems that serve the school and
combination store/caf6/post office in Brothers
and the stores in Alfalfa and Hampton. The
Central Oregon Irrigation District provides
water for agricultural uses surrounding
Alfalfa. The land around Millican, Brothers
and Hampton is part of large ranches or is
Bureau of Land Management land. Most of
the land is used for dry land grazing. Well
water provides irrigation for land adjacent to
Hampton. Millican Brothers and Hampton
are surrounded by land that is designated as
antelope habitat.
The area surrounding these communities is
sparsely populated. Each community has a
few residences within its boundary.
1. Periodic Review
In order to comply with OAR 660-022,
Deschutes County updated the
Comprehensive Plan and implementing
zoning regulations in 2002 for the
communities of Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton,
Millican, Whistlestop and Wildhunt. The
Comprehensive Plan and zoning map
boundaries for all of the Rural Service
Centers were amended to comply with the
requirements of the administrative rule and to
reconcile historic mapping inconsistencies
between the plan designation and zoning and
inconsistencies between community
boundaries and historic development
patterns.

Chapter 18.65 has been developed specifically for Rural Service Centers to provide land use regulations in
accordance with OAR 660-022 and the comprehensive plan policies added to the comprehensive plan for these
two unincorporated communities. Chapter 18.64 is the current chapter for Rural Service Centers. Chapter 18.64
is being retained because the existing RSC zoning for Spring River, Deschutes River Woods store and Deschutes
Junction is not being amended as part of this proposal. Spring River, Deschutes River Woods and Deschutes
Junction do not qualify as Rural Service Centers under OAR 660-22. The county will be rezoning these centers to
a new rural commercial zone in 2002. At that time Chapter 18.64 will be deleted and replaced with the new zone.
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 1994, the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted a new administrative
rule, OAR 660, Division 22, entitled Unincorporated Communities. The rule requires counties to update land use
plans and regulations for such communities. As part of Periodic Review, Deschutes County began the
unincorporated community planning project for the communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt in April 1998, to bring
their land use mapping and development regulations into conformance with state rules for unincorporated
communities. Deschutes County has now updated the Comprehensive Plan and implementing zoning regulations
for these communities to comply with the rule. With the adoption of Ordinances 2002-027 and 2002-028,
Deschutes County will have comprehensive plan and zoning maps, comprehensive plan policies and zoning
standards for these two communities conforming to OAR 660, Division 22.
The Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public work session on May 23, 2002 to discuss the proposed
changes with property owners. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 13, 2002. The staff
report reflects the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission to the Board of County
Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on July 3, 2002, to take testimony
on the full package of amendments recommended by the Planning Commission.

SECTION 1: STAFF FINDINGS REGARDING TITLE 23, DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
POLICIES
The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan currently designates the communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt as
Rural Service Centers. The proposed amendment will designate these areas as "Unincorporated Communities"
and adopt plan policies and zoning regulations to keep them rural.
The recommended comprehensive plan policies for the "Unincorporated Communities" designation under the
Incorporated Communities rule are as follows:
WHISTLESTOP AND WILDHUNT POLICIES
Policies
The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan currently designates the communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt as
Rural Service Centers and describes them as rural agricultural or forest communities with plan policies and zoning
regulations to keep them rural. Each of these communities has been identified as an "unincorporated community"
under the Unincorporated Communities Rule, OAR 660-022-010(10) a -e. To comply with the Rule and ensure that
each of these communities remains rural in nature, each will be designated an "Unincorporated Community" in the
Comprehensive Plan, and a "Rural Service Center" in the zoning regulations.
The adopted comprehensive plan policies for the "Unincorporated Communities" Rural Service Center designation
applicable to Whistlestop and wildhunt under the Incorporated Communities rule are:
1. Land use regulations shall conform to the requirements of OAR 660, Division 22 or any successor.
2. Rural Service Center zoning shall be applied to Alfalfa and Brothers and shall consist of three districts:
Commercial/Mixed Use; Residential; and Open Space.
3. Rural Service Center zoning shall be applied to Hampton, Whistlestop and Wildhunt and shall consist of a
single Commercial/Mixed Use District.
4. The area in the Brothers Rural Service Center Boundary that is north of Highway 20 and east of Camp Creek
Road shall be zoned as Rural Service Center - Open Space District (RSC -OS).
5. In April 2002, Alfalfa area residents expressed a desire to keep the community "the way it is" and to limit
commercial activity to 2 -acres south of Willard Road that is the site of the Alfalfa Community Store and the
community water system. These two acres are designated as a mixed used commercial district in the
Comprehensive Plan and shall be zoned mixed use commercial. The remaining 20 acres of the Rural
Service Center will continue to be zoned Rural Service Center — Residential District, with a 5 -acre minimum
lot size.
Since the Board of County Commissioners finds it may be necessary to accommodate the need for future
commercial expansion 2 acres north of Willard Road are being designated on the Comprehensive Plan for
future commercial uses. A zone change to mixed use commercial can be considered only for a specific use
and upon findings that the existing commercial area is fully developed.
6. County Comprehensive Plan policies and land use regulations shall ensure that new uses authorized within
the Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton, Millican, Whistlestop and Wildhunt Rural Service Centers do not adversely
affect agricultural and forest uses in the surroundingareas.
7. Zoning in the area shall promote the maintenance of the area's rural character. New commercial uses shall
be limited to small-scale, low impact uses that are intended to serve the community and surrounding rural
area or the travel needs of people passing through the area.The Commercial/Mixed use zoning regulations
shall allow a mixed use of residential or small-scale commercial uses.

8. Residential and commercial uses shall be served by DEQ approved on-site sewage disposal systems.
9. Residential and commercial uses shall be served by on site wells or public water systems.
10. Community water systems, motels, hotels and industrial uses shall not be allowed.
11. Recreational vehicle or trailer parks and other uses catering to travelers shall be permitted.
SECTION 2: STAFF FINDINGS REGARDING OAR 660, DIVISION 22,
UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES
The following language in bold is quoted directly from OAR Chapter 660, Division 22, Unincorporated Communities.
OAR 660-022-0000 Purpose
The purpose of OAR 660-022 is to establish a statewide policy for the
planning and zoning of unincorporated communities that recognizes the
importance of communities in rural Oregon. It is intended to expedite the
planning process for counties by reducing their need to take exceptions to
statewide planning goals when planning and zoning unincorporated
communities.
This division interprets Goals 11 (Public Facilities and Services) and 14
(Urbanization) concerning urban and rural development outside urban
growth boundaries and applies only to unincorporated communities defined
in OAR 660-022-0010, as noted below.
OAR 660-022-0020 DESIGNATION OF COMMUNITY AREAS - BOUNDARIES OF UNINCORPORATED
COMMUNITIES
(1) Except as provided in OAR 660-22-070, county comprehensive plans
shall designate and identify unincorporated communities in accordance with
the definitions in OAR 660-22-010. Counties may amend these designations
as circumstances change over time.
OAR 660-022-010(10) defines "Unincorporated Community" as a settlement
with all of the following characteristics:
(a) It is made up primarily of lands subject to an exception to Statewide
Planning Goal 3, Goal 4 or both;
(b) It was either identified in a county's acknowledged comprehensive plan
as a "rural community", "service center", "rural center", "resort community",
or similar term before this division was adopted (October 28, 1994), or it is
listed in the Department of Land Conservation and Development's January
30, 1997 "Survey of Oregon's Unincorporated Communities";
(c) It lies outside the urban growth boundary of any city;
(d) It is not incorporated as a city; and
(e) It met the definition of one of the four types of unincorporated
communities in sections (6) through (9) of this rule, and included the uses
described in those definitions, prior to the adoption of this division (October
28, 1994).

PAGE 4 of 10 — EXHIBIT "F" to ORDINANCE NO. 2002-027 (07/24/2002)
EXHIBIT "F"
OAR 660-22-010 contains the following four types of community designations for unincorporated communities:
"Resort Community", "Rural Community", "Rural Service Center" and "Urban Unincorporated Community." A
"Rural Service Center" is defined in section (8) as:
"an unincorporated community consisting primarily of commercial or
industrial uses providing goods and services to the surrounding rural area
or to persons traveling through the area, but which also includes some
permanent residential dwellings."
Section (5) defines "permanent residential dwellings" to include:
"manufactured homes, but does not include dwellings primarily intended for
a caretaker of an industrial use, commercial use, recreational vehicle park or
campground."
FINDINGS: The communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt are comprised of lands that have
previously received an exception to Goal 3 or 4. Both communities lie outside of an urban growth
boundary and neither is incorporated as a city. Each of the communities was included on the
Department of Land Conservation and Development's January 30, 1997, "Survey of Oregon's
Unincorporated Communities." Each of these communities qualifies under the definition of a "Rural
Service Center" contained in OAR 660-22-010(8) and contains the minimum number of permanent
residential dwellings (two or more dwellings). Amendments to the Deschutes County
Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinance text and corresponding maps designate Whistlestop and
Wildhunt as Rural Service Centers, as unincorporated communities (comprehensive plan) and
provide for their future development accordingly.
(2) Counties shall establish boundaries of unincorporated communities in
order to distinguish lands within the community from exception areas,
resource lands and other rural lands. The boundaries of unincorporated
communities shall be shown on the county comprehensive plan map at a
scale sufficient to determine accurately which properties are included.
(3) Only land meeting the following criteria may be included within an
unincorporated community boundary:
(a) Land which has been acknowledged as a Goal 3 or 4 exception area and
historically considered to be part of the community provided the land only
includes existing, contiguous concentrations of:
(A) Commercial, industrial, or public uses; and/or
(B) Dwelling units and associated residential lots at a greater density than
exception lands outside rural communities.
(b) Land planned and zoned for farm or forest use provided such land meets the
criteria in section (4) of this rule.
FINDINGS: The rural service center community boundaries for the Whistlestop and Wildhunt were
determined using the following map sources:
1. 1992 Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan map — digitized parcel base map.
2. 1979 Deschutes County Zoning map.
The proposed comprehensive plan map shows the boundaries of Whistlestop and Wildhunt at a
scale that identifies individual parcel boundaries. Both are currently designated "rural service
centers" on the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan Map and will be changed to an
"Unincorporated Community" designation on the proposed plan maps.

EXHIBIT "F"
OAR 660-22-010 contains the following four types of community designations for unincorporated communities:
"Resort Community", "Rural Community", "Rural Service Center' and "Urban Unincorporated Community." A
"Rural Service Center" is defined in section (8) as:
"an unincorporated community consisting primarily of commercial or
industrial uses providing goods and services to the surrounding rural area
or to persons traveling through the area, but which also includes some
permanent residential dwellings."
Section (5) defines "permanent residential dwellings" to include:
"manufactured homes, but does not include dwellings primarily intended for
a caretaker of an industrial use, commercial use, recreational vehicle park or
campground."
FINDINGS: The communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt are comprised of lands that have
previously received an exception to Goal 3 or 4. Both communities lie outside of an urban growth
boundary and neither is incorporated as a city. Each of the communities was included on the
Department of Land Conservation and Development's January 30, 1997, "Survey of Oregon's
Unincorporated Communities." Each of these communities qualifies under the definition of a "Rural
Service Center" contained in OAR 660-22-010(8) and contains the minimum number of permanent
residential dwellings (two or more dwellings). Amendments to the Deschutes County

Wildhunt as Rural Service Centers, as unincorporated communities (comprehensive plan) and
provide for their future development accordingly.
(2) Counties shall establish boundaries of unincorporated communities in
order to distinguish lands within the community from exception areas,
resource lands and other rural lands. The boundaries of unincorporated
communities shall be shown on the county comprehensive plan map at a
scale sufficient to determine accurately which properties are included.
(3) Only land meeting the following criteria may be included within an
unincorporated community boundary:
(a) Land which has been acknowledged as a Goal 3 or 4 exception area and
historically considered to be part of the community provided the land only
includes existing, contiguous concentrations of:
(A) Commercial, industrial, or public uses; and/or
(B) Dwelling units and associated residential lots at a greater density than
exception lands outside rural communities.
(b) Land planned and zoned for farm or forest use provided such land meets the
criteria in section (4) of this rule.
FINDINGS: The rural service center community boundaries for the Whistlestop and Wildhunt were
determined using the following map sources:
1. 1992 Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan map — digitized parcel base map.
2. 1979 Deschutes County Zoning map.
The proposed comprehensive plan map shows the boundaries of Whistlestop and Wildhunt at a
scale that identifies individual parcel boundaries. Both are currently designated "rural service
centers" on the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan Map and will be changed to an
"Unincorporated Community" designation on the proposed plan maps.

Currently, the zoning and comprehensive plan map boundaries do not coincide with one another for
Whistlestop and Wildhunt. The zoning and Comprehensive Plan boundaries will be made
consistent with each other with the adoption of these amendments and will not result in any
additional land that is zoned for commercial uses. The boundaries for both communities are
comprised of lands that were previously acknowledged and planned as Rural Service Centers, have
historically been part of the community and include only contiguous concentrations of commercial
and residential uses.
The boundaries for these communities were also amended to comply with the requirements of the
administrative rule and to reconcile historic mapping inconsistencies between the plan designation
and the zoning, and inconsistencies between community boundaries and historic development
patterns. The boundaries now reflect parcel -based GIS mapping. Previous maps were prepared
by manual application of tape on mylar base maps that did not include parcel identification and
were not very precise. This resulted in discrepancies for each of the communities where the
community boundaries on the comprehensive maps did not match the boundaries on the zoning
maps.

(4) Community boundaries may include land that is designated for farm or
forest use pursuant to Goals 3 and 4 if all the following criteria is met:
(a) The land is contiguous to Goal 3 or 4 exception lands included in the
community boundary;
(b) The land was occupied on the date of this division (October 28, 1994) by
one or more of the following uses considered to be part of the community:
Church, cemetery, school, park, playground, community center, fire station,
museum, golf course, or utility facility;
(c) Only the portion of the lot or parcel that is occupied by the use(s) in
subsection (b) of this section is included within the boundary; and
(d) The land remains planned and zoned under Goals 3 or 4.
FINDINGS: None of the land included within the community boundaries for Whistlestop and Wildhunt is
designated for farm or forest uses.

CENTERS)
(2) County plans and land use regulations may authorize any residential use
and density in unincorporated communities, subject to the requirements of this
division.
FINDINGS: Each of the communities currently has a Rural Service Center zoning designation which allows for
minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet up to five acres depending on whether the lot is served by one, both or no
community/public water or sewage systems.
The proposed zoning for Whistlestop and Wildhunt "Rural Service Center — Commercial/Mixed Use District" will
allow for both residential and commercial uses anywhere within the community. Residential density was
determined by looking at each community's ability to provide sewer and water in addition to considering the rural
nature of these areas. Since neither of the communities has a community sewer system and none are allowed
under the proposed zoning, on-site sewage disposal systems are required for new lots. Each proposed new lot or
parcel must be proven to be able to support an on-site sewage disposal and water supply before it is platted as a
new legal lot. Although a minimum one -acre lot size would probably support most sewage disposal/water supply
systems, the zoning requires a larger lot size of 2.5 acres to provide additional flexibility in locating a house, out
buildings and driveways with a septic system and water supply on the property. Residential density was therefore
determined based on the minimum lot size needed for adequate sewage.
(3)County plans and land use regulations may authorize only the following
new industrial uses in unincorporated communities...
FINDINGS: Industrial uses will not be allowed within the Rural Service Centers approved through this
unincorporated community process.
(4) County plans and land use regulations may authorize only the following
new commercial uses in unincorporated communities:
(a) Uses authorized under Goals 3 and 4;
(b) Small-scale, low impact uses;
(c) Uses intended to serve the community and surrounding rural area or the
travel needs of people passing through the area.
Findings: The proposed plan policies limit new commercial uses to those that are small-scale, low impact uses
that are intended to service the community and surrounding rural area or the travel needs of people passing
through the area. The proposed zoning regulations limits new commercial uses to retail stores, business offices
and/or commercial establishments in a building or buildings each not exceeding 4,000 square feet of floor space, all
subject to site plan review. These policies and land use regulations comply with OAR 660-022-0010(1) and OAR
660-022-0030(10) regarding new commercial uses in an unincorporated community.
(5) County plans and land use regulations may authorize hotels and motels
in unincorporated communities only if served by a community sewer system
and only as provided in subsections (a) through (c) of this section: ....
FINDING: A community sewer system does not currently exist in Whistlestop or Wildhunt, and they are not an
allowed use under the proposed zoning. Hotels and motels are therefore, not allowed uses since they would need
to be served by a community sewer system.

EXHIBIT "F"
(6) County plans and land use regulations shall ensure that new uses
authorized within unincorporated communities do not adversely affect
agricultural or forestry uses.
FINDINGS: The surrounding land use for each of the communities is agriculture and forest. The proposed
comprehensive plan states that new uses authorized within these rural service centers will not adversely affect
agricultural or forest uses in the surrounding areas. Additionally, the Deschutes County Right to Farm Ordinance
(Title 9.12) serves to further ensure adequate protection of the surrounding farm uses. This ordinance states in
part that "Farm and forest uses sometimes offend, annoy, interfere with or otherwise affect others located on or
near farm and forest lands... (however)... Deschutes County has concluded (in conformance with ORS chapter 30)
that persons located on or near farm and forest lands must accept resource uses and management practices".
(7) County plans and land use regulations shall allow only those uses which
are consistent with the identified function, capacity and level of service of
transportation facilities serving the community, pursuant to OAR 660-012-
0060(1)(a) through (c).
FINDINGS: The county land use regulations for conditional uses and site plan approval require new development
proposals to include facts documenting that the function, capacity and level of service of the affected transportation
facility are adequate to serve the proposed use. Single-family residences at the density allowed by the proposed
zoning will not significantly impact the function of the highway or county arterials. Wildhunt us served by Highway
97 and Highway 31. Whistlestop is serviced by Burgess Road, a collector road. All of these roads are identified on
the County Transportation Plan. There will be no significant impact on any of the roads as these areas will remain
rural in nature with very low growth expected. The Rural Service Center designation will not allow any new types of
uses to be developed other than those intended to serve the surrounding communities and travelers passing
through the area. The Oregon Department of Transportation is the service provider for Highway 97 and Highway
31, and the Deschutes County Road Department is the service provider for the arterials and collector.
(8) Zoning applied to lands within unincorporated communities shall ensure
that the cumulative development:
(A) Will not result in public health hazards or adverse environmental impacts
that violate state or federal water quality regulations; and
(B) Will not exceed the carrying capacity of the soil or of existing water
supply resources and sewer services.
FINDINGS: Water for both rural service centers comes from domestic wells. Neither community is in a
groundwater -limited area. There is no history of failing wells and there is an adequate water supply. The
conformance with state and federal water quality regulations is also implemented through provisions in the
Deschutes County Code, Title 15.
Since neither of the communities has a community sewer system and none is allowed under the proposed zoning,
on-site sewage disposal systems are required for new lots. Further, because the soils in these areas are highly
variable with limiting features for on-site sewage disposal appearing at shallow depths, each proposed new lot or
parcel must demonstrate that the lot or parcel can meet DEQ on-site sewage disposal rules and proven to be able
to support an on-site sewage disposal and water supply before it is platted as a new legal lot. Existing lots must
also demonstate that they can meet the same DEQ standards and proven to be able to support an on-site sewage
disposal and water supply before final approval for a site plan or conditional use permit (Section 18.74.030 of the
zoning regulations).

(9) County plans and land use regulations for lands within unincorporated
communities shall be consistent with acknowledged metropolitan regional
goals and objectives, applicable regional functional plans and regional
framework plan components of metropolitan service districts.
FINDING: This criterion is not applicable because a metropolitan service district does not currently exist within
Deschutes County.
OAR 660-022-0050 Community Public Facility Plans
A public facility plan is required for all communities over 2,500 in population.
For all communities a plan addressing sewer and water facilities is required
if:
1) The existing facilities are insufficient or are projected to become
insufficient (due to physical conditions, financial circumstances, changing
state or federal standards, or additional growth or build out);
2) The community is served by groundwater and is in a groundwater limited
area; or
3) The community has been declared a health hazard or has a history of
failing wells.
FINDING: This criterion is not applicable to the communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt since neither has a
population of over 2,500. Both communities use wells and all have a water supply that is adequate, and neither is
in a groundwater limited area or has a history of failing wells. As previously stated, all lots and parcels must
demonstrate that the lot or parcel can meet DEQ on-site sewage disposal rules and proven to be able to support
an on-site sewage disposal and water supply before it is platted as a new legal lot and/or before final approval of a
site plan or conditional use permit.
OAR 660-022-0060 COORDINATION AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
(1) Counties shall ensure that residents of unincorporated communities
have adequate opportunities to participate in all phases of the planning
process in accordance with their acknowledged citizen involvement
programs.
(2) When a county proposes to designate an unincorporated community or
to amend plan provisions or land use regulations that apply to such a
community, the county shall specify the following:
(a) How residents of the community and surrounding area will be informed
about the proposal;
(b) How far in advance of the final decision residents of the community and
the surrounding area will be informed about the proposal;
(c) Which citizen advisory committees will be notified of the proposal.
(3) The information on these three points shall be included in the
appropriate plan amendment proposals or periodic review work task.
(5) Proposals to designate, plan or zone unincorporated communities shall
be coordinated with special districts... likely to be affected by such
actions ... and include a minimum of 45 -day mailed notice to all cities and
special districts located within the distance described in OAR 660-22-040(2).

FINDINGS: The following citizen involvement program was used for Whistlestop and Wildhunt.
The Rural Service Center comprehensive plan policies and zoning ordinance are the product of meetings and
phone calls with individual property owners and surrounding property owners, in addition to a work session and
pubic hearing with the Deschutes County Planning Commission.
Prior to the Planning Commission work session, notice was sent to all property owners within the Rural Service
Center boundaries regarding the work session. The County initially provided notice to property owners to zone
Whistlestop and Wildhunt as Rural Commercial based on an initial determination that the communities of
Whistlestop and Wildhunt did not have the necessary two permanent residential dwellings and therefore could not
remain Rural Service Centeers under OAR 660-022. However, serveral residents notified staff that both
communities contain at least two permanent residences. Staff confirmed the existence of these residences on a
site visit.
Notice of the first public hearing before the Planning Commission, as well as notice of the public hearing before the
Board of County Commissioners, was sent to property owners within the Rural Service Center boundary, as well
as surrounding property owners and agencies that might be affected by or interested in the outcome of this project.
The notices included the County Web Page address as well as a staff contact phone number and invited
interested individuals to get more information and be involved in the process.
Agencies informed about project work for the communities of Whistlestop and Wildhunt include: Bureau of Land
Management; Forest Service, State of Oregon: Department of Transportation, Department of Land Conservation
and Development, Watermaster - District 11, Department of Forestry; County Sheriff and Road Department.
All future amendments to the plan designations and policies or zoning for these rural service centers must be made
in accordance with the procedures in Deschutes County Code, Title 22 and applicable provisions of the Oregon
Administration Rules and state statute(s).
