Do Not remove from original document. Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend, OR 97701-1947 (541) 388-6570 - Fax (541) 388-4752 www.deschutes.org MINUTES OF MEETING DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 299 2003 Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building 1130 NW Harriman St., Bend Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Tom De Wolf and Michael M. Daly. Also present were Mike Maier, County Administrator; Sue Brewster, Sheriff's Office; Scott Johnson, Commission on Children & Families; George Read, Steve Jorgensen, Christy Morgan, Kevin Harrison, Catherine Morrow, Dave Leslie, Damian Syrnyk, Doreen Blome', Sandy Ringer, Community Development Department; David Givans, Commissioners' Office; Ricklsham and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; media representatives Barney Lerten of bend com and Mike Cronin of the Bulletin; and twelve other citizens. Chair Dennis Luke opened the meeting at 10: 00 a.m. Chair Luke explained to the audience why so many members of the Community Development Department and Legal Counsel were in attendance. Commissioner DeWolf read a letter from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development informing the Board that Deschutes County has satisfactorily completed all of the tasks in its period review program, and complimented those doing the work so well, considering the complexity and difficulty of the task. (A copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit A.) The Board congratulated the employees and thanked them for their hard work. These employees were Laurie Craghead, Christy Morgan, Steve Jorgensen, Kevin Harrison, Catherine Morrow, Doreen Blome', Sandy Ringer, George Read, and Dave Leslie. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 1 of 26 Pages George Read said that he had invited the others who were no longer employees but who worked on the periodic review process to the meeting. The Commissioner then acknowledged the work done by Bruce White, who was in attendance, as well as other former employees: Heidi Kennedy, Michael Houser, James Lewis, Tracy White, Karen Green, Geralyn Haas and Brian Harrington. (Applause from the audience.) 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. Jack Weisburger, a retired forestry worker and new Deschutes County resident, spoke. He said over the past six months he has been reading about the urban - forest interface, and understands that Deschutes County has numerous municipal interface situations. He asked why there is no urban forestry commission in Bend, when even Madras, where there are fewer trees, has one. Commissioner Luke responded that he recently spoke with Mr. Weisburger about this issue. He went on to say that local agencies received a federal grant entitled "Project Impact", which deals with wildfire problems. This grant is completed, but there is a large group of local agencies working on these problems. This group includes the County, Bend Fire Department, the Rural Fire Protection District, the City of Bend, the Bureau of Land Management/ Department of the Interior, the Department of Forestry, members of the business community, and others. The County Solid Waste Department also sponsors the very popular "Fire Free" program, when citizens are able to dispose of yard debris at no cost. He asked Mr. Weisburger to speak with George Read of Community Development about working with the group. Mr. Weisburger stated that Commissioner Luke did advise him to contact Mr. Read but he hadn't gotten around to it yet. He said that he is very interested in tree survival, and will be speaking with City of Bend Councilors about the interface in the near future. 2. Before the Board was a Presentation and Update of the Services Provided to the Community by El Programa de Ayuda. Mario Huerta, Director of the program, provided an overview of this non-profit program that helps Hispanic residents of the area be more self-sufficient, and also strives to promote the Hispanic culture in the area. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 2 of 26 Pages He said his group helped organize the Fiesta Latina, a celebration of Hispanic culture featuring music, food and fun for Hispanics and Anglos. Over 700 people attended. It is planned again for this year. His program has also provided clinics for the Hispanic community, and 150 people were treated. His group also encourages students to be involved in higher education, to give back to the community; the University of Oregon and Oregon State have helped organize events in this regard, by featuring bi-lingual speakers. Sixty-two students attended the latest "day of science", with wonderful results. His program is close to obtaining scholarships for the two best students. He said his program is accomplishing its goals to encourage the Hispanic community to become a part of the greater community, in its activities and problems. About 720 cases (individuals or families) were helped last year in regard to housing, legal questions and family issues. He estimated that there are probably about 4,400 Hispanic residents in Deschutes County, and approximately 10,000 in the tri -county area. Commissioner DeWolf asked Mr. Huerta about his background. He said he was born in Puebla, Mexico. He has a degree in engineering, and was working in Mexico City when he visited his mother and met his future wife. He began to improve his English and eventually applied for the position with Programa de Ayuda. He and his family have been living in Central Oregon for four years, and really enjoy the area and the people. Originally Father Mike of the Catholic Church maintained a Hispanic hotline, but the area was growing so fast that he couldn't handle the calls. As a result the program was developed. The program now is a separate organization, no longer a part of the church. He thanked the Commissioners and the community for their support of and help with opening doors for the Hispanic community, and said these residents feel very welcomed and comfortable here. (Applause from the audience.) Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 3 of 26 Pages 3. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of Funding Reductions to the Following Agencies, in the Event that Measure 28 Fails: Bethlehem Inn, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), COBRA (Central Oregon Battering and Rape Alliance), El Program de Ayuda, and FAN (Family Access Network). Commissioner DeWolf explained that these five of the many programs involved had been backfilled by the County due to state cuts. The balance of the programs will be hit with a 3% cut in funding. DALY: Move approval of these reductions, as submitted by the Commission on Children & Families. DEWOLF: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Oregon Health Division Grant Revision #7 for Fiscal Year 2003, Decreasing Funding for Specific Health Services (in the Event that Measure 28 Fails). DE WOLF : Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was Consideration of a Request for a Policy Change regarding Department Heads Signing Clinical Affiliation Agreements in Lieu of Board of Commissioner Signature. Rick Isham explained that he hasn't talked with Dan Peddycord about this issue, as Mr. Peddycord was called out of town on a family emergency. He suggested that this issue be delayed. He said that traditionally he advises that intergovernmental agreements should be signed by the Commissioners. About 190 state agencies have authority to sign on behalf of the state, however. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 4 of 26 Pages The exception that the County's Mental Health Department has in this regard is that Gary Smith can sign change agreements on behalf of his department if there is no new program involved. One exception may be found under the ORS regarding intergovernmental agreements for services to one party that are provided by another party; that's basically what clinical affiliation agreements are. Commissioner Luke indicated that he didn't think it is such a big deal for them to come to the Board for these, especially since Legal approval is needed anyway. Mr. Isham said that the most conservative advice is to have these come before the Board, as they have in the past for student nursing programs. Commissioner DeWolf suggested that when Mr. Peddycord returns, the Board meet with him in this regard to get his suggestions and input, and put the item back on the agenda if appropriate. 6. Before the Board was a Public Hearing (most recently continued,from October 2, 2002) on Measure 7 and Ordinance No. 2002-012, regarding Private Property Compensation Procedures. Laurie Craghead explained that this hearing had been scheduled some time ago, but that Measure 7 was null and void at this point. Chair Luke opened the public hearing. Being no testimony offered, Chair Luke closed the public hearing. At this time, this often continued public hearing is closed. 7. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval and Signature of the Board's Findings and Decision regarding File #A-02-10 and File #A-02-11 (Partition #MP -02-12), Appeals of the Hearings Officer's Conditional Approval of a Partition to Create Three Parcels in the F-1 Zone (Appellants/Applicants: Matthew & Rachel Thomas; and Appellants: Sisters Forest Planning Committee/Paul Dewey). Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 5 of 26 Pages Cathy Tilton explained that final documents have been given to the Board for review, and included corrections that were discussed at Monday's work session. Legal Counsel has reviewed and approved them as well. DEWOLF: This is nitpicky; I will admit that right off the bat. But on page 5, under the findings, at the top of the page, I still have trouble defining Sisters Mainline Road as access, since it is virtually impassable and closed when there's heavy snowfall, and there's nobody who maintains that during the winter. That said, with everything else in the findings below, it is all explained; that's just the one area that troubles me. I just wanted that on tape. CRAGHEAD: Okay. We were just talking about just the access from the property line to Bull Springs; it's not talking about it going from (unintelligible). DEWOLF: Uhmm -- LUKE: I would point out that you have two other pieces of property there that have being granted access. That is the primary access for two other pieces of property that were approved. And whether we approve it for this one as the primary road, it is already approved for two other pieces. DEWOLF: Right. And I grant all of that. I don't see anything in there that says that indicates it is from the property to Bull Springs Road. That was my concern. But I'm okay; I don't want to change anything. I just wanted that on tape. 1.11ey--W I But that is the intent. Our intent is not the opening up of the entire road; just this section of road between Bull Springs and the property. CRAGHEAD: And you have that in the conditions of approval. DALY: Wait a minute. Is there any conditions on the other folks about maintenance of that road? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 6 of 26 Pages CRAGHEAD: No. They weren't a party, they weren't an applicant. LUKE: That was the basis for the appeal, because of the takings clauses; because you would require them to maintain a road that nobody else was required to maintain. And that was part of the original appeal to us. DALY: I think the appeal was bringing it up to County standards. It wasn't so much maintenance. DEWOLF: Sure it was. LUKE: Oh, yeah. DEWOLF: I mean, it's a combination of those two things. And from the interpretation that our staff came to, the Hearings Officer hadn't required that. But when we asked for that clarification, that was her intention, that Tweedfam was also to be taking care of that Sisters Mainline Road. And that didn't translate the way it was intended by the Hearings Officer. CRAGHEAD: Just for clarification, we are talking about two different maintenance issues. One is the issue that was brought before the Board by the applicant, which is the maintenance or improvement of all of Sisters Mainline Road. The argument could be on takings. But there is also the issue on whether Bull Springs Road could be dedicated, and what that does to the maintenance requirements of the other easement holders on that road. So, we've got the two issues there; one of which would be handled during the road dedication process, the second one. DALY: At the last hearing, we decided that we don't really require any maintenance on Bull Springs, remember? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 7 of 26 Pages CRAGHEAD: But there is a condition of approval that, if it gets dedicated, to the extent that Bull Springs is brought to meet County standards as a public right of way. DALY: But as far as snowplowing and regular maintenance, there's no requirement. CRAGHEAD: No, there's nothing in there. DEWOLF: But, as long as it is not a County -maintained road, we don't do that anywhere else either. And if they bring it up to County standards where it would be adopted into our road system as a County -maintained road, then that would be a separate issue that we would deal with. CRAGHEAD: Right. DEWOLF: Okay. Got it. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Yep. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 8. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of the First Reading of Ordinance No. 2003-001, Amending the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan to Adopt a New Coordinated Population Forecast for Deschutes County and the Cities of Bend, Redmond and Sisters. DAMIAN SYRNYK: Before you this morning is a proposed coordinated population forecast for Deschutes County from the year 2000 to the year 2025. It includes the County as a whole. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 8 of 26 Pages For the people in the audience, the forecast table that is to the right of the Board (referring to an oversize chart) is a blown -up copy of the blue version that's available at the table. So, if it is easier for you to use, help yourself. (A copy of the set of documents is attached as Exhibit B.) The handouts include the forecast table that's in blue, a copy of the staff report, a copy of the proposed ordinance 2003-001, and then a January 2003 background report that was prepared in support of the forecast. I also wanted to point out that we have received three letters on this matter. I'll hand those out to you in a while. DEWOLF: You mean, additionally to what we've received prior? SYRNYK: That's correct. We received a new electronic mail message from Jon Jinings from the local office of the Department of Land Conservation and Development; a January 28 letter from Kate Kimball, on behalf of 1,000 Friends of Oregon; and then a January 29 letter from Paul Dewey, on behalf of the Sisters Forest Planning Committee. What I'm going to do is give most of my staff report from this table here. Before I finish I'm going to move the table closer for you to see and for the audience to take a look at, and will go over some of the highlights of the forecast. Then I'll prepared to answer any questions you might have before you open up the public hearing. This is an update of a forecast that the County had originally adopted back in 1998. I'd like to start off with a little history on what is called the coordinated population forecast. The Oregon Legislature had passed some legislation in 1995 that gave counties the authority and responsibility to coordinate the development and maintenance of a population forecast, for purposes of maintaining comprehensive plans. The County adopted its first coordinated population forecast in 1998. As a basis for the forecast, the County had used a forecast developed for Deschutes County by the State of Oregon's Office of Economic Analysis. That is also in your packet as an attachment to the staff report. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 9 of 26 Pages After the County adopted this forecast, the County has been monitoring how accurate the forecast has been through the 2000 census and through estimates that have been developed annually by the Population Research Center of Portland State University. It became very apparent after the census and the most recent forecast that the County's been growing faster than was originally contemplated under the original forecast. So, in the fall of 2001 we began working on a process to update our forecast. Several things were happening at once to help drive that; one was the interest on the part of the cities to develop better forecasts so they could plan for their anticipated growth. We were also anticipating a new forecast that was to be prepared by the Office of Economic Analysis. That was supposed to be available in 2002; we're still waiting. But we did obtain from them a draft forecast from Deschutes County that we used as a basis for developing the forecast now before you. To clarify that, the "we" that I am talking about was a working group of staff from Deschutes County, and each of the cities. This is on page two of the background report. I believe Catherine is here, and Mike Byers, who is working on behalf of the City of Bend. We also had representatives from the City of Redmond and Gail Thompson from the City of Sisters. To help support the process, we also obtained a technical assistance grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development in the fall of 2001; and we began to go to work. What this working group did was meet at least ten times over the last year, between January of last year and January of this year, to compare methods and assumptions, and then build the forecast that is before you this morning. Each city developed its own forecast for its urban growth boundary. The County took responsibility for developing the forecast for the unincorporated or, as you see in the table, non -urban portions of the County. LUKE: That's pretty easy. Once the cities figure out how much of the population they're going to take, all that's left is you guys. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 10 of 26 Pages SYRNYK: And it worked pretty well. That's what the County did as part of our forecast. This was a matter that we held an initial public hearing on before the County Planning Commission on December 12. We tried our best to publicize it through our usual notice and press releases; I did get some media exposure, but it didn't attract as much attention as we had hoped. The Commission did forward it to you for your consideration today. At the hearing we did receive some written comments and oral testimony. LUKE: Any recommendations from them when they forwarded it us? SYRNYK: They did forward it to you with a recommendation to adopt. I believe it was unanimous. I should clarify that we did receive some testimony that raised concerns about the forecast and the assumptions that were behind it. What we attempted to do - - myself on behalf of the County, Mike Byers for the City of Bend, and representatives from the cities of Redmond and Sisters -- was to more fully explain our assumptions in the January 2003 report that is before you as part of the record. So, we have revised the forecast slightly; meaning that the forecast for the City of Sisters was slightly reduced with the population that they were going to be potentially including. We also prepared additional findings that went through our assumptions for looking at potential build -out in the unincorporated County, rates of growth, and how we estimated how that might be; and forecast it over the history of the forecast. What I'm going to do right now very briefly is cover some of the highlights of the forecast here. LUKE: May I ask a question? The purpose of doing a coordinated population forecast is to give the governing bodies in the jurisdictions an opportunity to see what the reasonable forecast population might be over the next ten years. Ten years is probably fairly accurate; twenty-five years is out a ways, and starts to be more of a guess. A lot of things can change. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 11 of 26 Pages But, it really isn't part of this as to how to interpret how the infrastructure is going to handle increase in population, or how you are going to provide police services or water services. Your job is to, all things being equal, project what you think the population of the area is going to be so that planners can start looking at those other areas, and try to determine how they are going to handle that. Is that a fair statement? SYRNYK: That's a good description of what the purpose of the forecast is. One of the purposes. As I mentioned in the staff report, local governments used to forecast for several purposes. For the cities, it is critical for them to have some idea of what their future population might be so they can plan to have enough land within their urban growth boundaries. Related to that, once they have some idea of what that is going to be, they can start using the numbers for planning infrastructure, like their sewer system, water systems, and transportation. For the County, it is also relevant information, as it gives our County good information to plan the services that are provided to the County, such as Sheriff services and patrols, and health and human services. So it does provide for multiple functions and serves multiple purposes. In terms of which step comes first, one of the first steps we have to take in terms of figuring out what we need to do, or should do, or could do, is have a reliable set of information like the forecast. Once we've got that, t hen the cities and County can start making decisions on how they can best serve that kind of growing population, including what kind of resources they might need. A couple of things that I should mention are that the Office of Economic Analysis has a schedule of roughly updating their state forecast every five years. That would include the State of Oregon and each county. So every five years we have an opportunity to see how our forecast looks when compared with the State's. There's an additional check that we can use for evaluating the performance of the forecast, and that's the annual estimates from the Population Research Center at Portland State University. One of things you'll notice when looking at the table is that the forecast is for each July 1 of those five-year periods. That was used because Portland State University prepares annual estimates of the population of the State of Oregon, each county and each incorporated city for the purposes of disbursing state revenues. It also provides us a check to see if we are overshooting or undershooting the mark, or are pretty close. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 12 of 26 Pages Just briefly, I wanted to kind of highlight some of the things you'll see in the forecast. Over the life of the forecast each jurisdiction, including the County, would see some pretty dramatic growth. For the County as a whole, we're looking at if the forecast were to occur we would see this kind of population growth by the year 2025, which represents an increase of about 83% over the entire County. For the City of Bend, they'd be looking at a population of around 102,000; for them, that would represent an increase of about 80% as well. Redmond and Sisters might see more dramatic increases over that period. For Redmond, they could be looking at a population of a little over 47,000, which would be an increase of almost 200%; and for the City of Sisters, looking at an increase to a population of about 4,000 people, which is almost a 300% increase. For the unincorporated County, we are predicting some pretty good growth over that period; an increase of 50%. We tried to document that in the background report that we wouldn't see as much growth because we wouldn't have the same potential that the cities would have, given the State land use laws and zoning that is in effect. LUKE: Some of this could change if you have a couple of other areas incorporate; and this would change how we handle services. Because currently you can't run sewers or do that kind of thing in a non -urban area. You could have some change just by incorporation. SYRNYK: That's true. Some of the population that we might anticipate in the unincorporated County might become part of a growing population of the City of La Pine or City of Terrebonne, for example. That concludes my staff report, and I'd be happy to answer any questions before the hearing is opened for testimony. DALY: I've been hearing that the County is going to be out of buildable land in about fifteen years, the way it is going. But you are showing a 50% increase over the next twenty years? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 13 of 26 Pages SYRNYK: For the non -urban County, one of things that we took into consideration is the existing lots that are in the rural unincorporated County for each zoning district that we have in the County. We also considered the laws that we have in place, both locally and at the State level. Under our current system, the unincorporated County might be able to accommodate a population of around 81,000 people. That might change if we were to see, for example, a destination resort developed; or if La Pine or Terrebonne both see continued growth with the creation of new lots in those areas. Those are some of the assumptions that underlie our forecast for the unincorporated County. It wouldn't necessarily see more growth in the EFU zoned areas because of limitations on the creation of new parcels. The unincorporated communities and lands that are mapped as eligible for destination resorts might see some of that population growth if they are more intensely developed. One of the things that we did include, and I should point, the forecast is looking at the La Pine area and Wickiup Junction and neighborhood planning area. Incorporating those areas, the potential for growth in those areas because of the presence of water and sewer services and their status of an unincorporated community. There's potential for quite a bit of development in that area. LUKE: You have all done a lot of work on this, and I know the State hasn't been as cooperative as it should have been. If we had waiting for the State we still wouldn't be here. SYRNYK: One thing I'd also like to point out is that throughout this process we worked very closely with our regional representatives from the Department of Land Conservation and Development, Jon Jinings and Laren Woolley. They provided us with a lot of assistance in making sure we developed a defensible forecast that would end up being a good tool for planning. What I am going to do is stop here and hand out copies of the letters we recently received, and recommend you open the hearing. (A set of the letters is attached as Exhibit C.) Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 14 of 26 Pages Commissioner Luke then opened the public hearing on the first reading of Ordinance No. 2003-001. PAUL DEWEY: Good morning, Commissioners. Paul Dewey, for the record, representing the Sisters Forest Planning Committee. I won't go over what I submitted in writing already, but wanted to make a couple of points; actually, a couple of questions. One, I would really like to see the DLCD letter that you just received. I don't know if your intent is to close the record or hearing today. Commissioner DeWolf gave Mr. Dewey his copy of the letter at this time. DEWY: I was going to request, if you are going to close it, seven days to submit some additional written materials. Again, I don't know whether your plans are to close it today. LUKE: We haven't talked about that yet. DEWEY: The other question, looking at Table 2 here, since Mike Byers is here from the City, I was curious about the 52,800 July 1 forecast for the year 2000. Then the number jumps to 67,180 for the year 2005; showing a five-year change of 27%. Then it falls off each five-year period after that. I'm curious as to whether they have any estimates for the current population. You see these entry signs coming into Bend, saying population "whatever". That strikes me as a fairly significant jump by 2005. I would like to hear what the City's rationale was for that. LUKE: Have you driven out Powers Road and around Brookswood lately? You might want to do that. It would surprise you if you drove out there. There's a lot of people out there. Did you guys review this? Did the County review the City numbers? Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 15 of 26 Pages SYRNYK (off microphone, partially unintelligible): The City Council reviewed them. After the December Planning Commission meeting, representatives of each city presented the numbers to their respective councils for adoption. None of them acted to include them in their comprehensive plans, but I think they are aware of it, and there seemed to be a consensus to continue working with the County. DEWEY: My final question is, to what extent has the County independently reviewed the cities' numbers. I'm a little bit concerned about taking the totals of the cities, saying what they say or think their totals to be, and you are left with the remainder. LUKE: It is the County's responsibility to make sure these numbers are as accurate as possible. Although there could be some desire of some of the cities to inflate their numbers a little bit because of the money that comes, I'm sure those have been reviewed. You get it on your actual population; you don't get it on what you might have in ten years, of course. The County's responsibility, and I've had discussions with George (Read) and Damian, is that they are looking at these very closely to try to make sure that the cities' numbers and the non -urban areas' numbers are as accurate as possible. That would be my impression. DEWEY: One final thing for Damian to address, perhaps, is whether OEA has an estimate as to when it will come out with its numbers. Thank you. MIKE BYERS (City of Bend): To respond to a couple of questions that Mr. Dewey raised; the July 1, 2002 Portland State University certified population for the City of Bend is 57,750. And the first few years we had in Bend's forecast was based on continued high rates of growth that we've seen the last few years. So we've forecast expecting similar growth patterns during the short term. As Commissioner Luke indicated, it is harder to forecast what happens as you get out further because so much of our population comes from in -migration, which is controlled by or affected by all kinds of conditions outside of the local area jurisdiction's ability to control things. So, we had high growth and then an expectation that things might slow down because of unknown conditions, really. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 16 of 26 Pages Another thing I'll mention is that the cities and the County worked together to come up with the numbers. The County did not just have what was left over. We all worked on trying to come up with numbers that were based on our best knowledge of what's out there, building patterns, past histories and so on. And we juggled the numbers many times. The City of Bend had eleven different forecasts we worked on during the process. LUKE: In Mr. Dewey's letter, I noticed in part of it that it talked about some of it being based on building permits and different things. The City of Bend doesn't have as many second home owners as the whole County does. You have some. How do you allow for that as you are doing your process? BYERS: We have in the past used census data, which has a percentage or second homes and vacation homes as part of its tally. We have some data from that. We have a pretty good idea of some of the higher -end communities in Bend that have those second homes, like Broken Top and Awbrey Butte. In the past for our housing forecasts we've subtracted a percentage of the new building starts, around 5% I think, as second homes, no occupied year-round. LUKE: So you make an effort to adjust for this. BYERS: We look at several different factors and try to blend them all together to come up with what we think is the best forecast. LUKE: Do you use an average, a certain number of people per home, as a check number against the population estimates? BYERS: Generally speaking, yes. When we run different scenarios, we often back - check them against other scenarios. For example, if we just look at building permits and ran those out, what would that number be compared with looking at past growth rates, and so on. So we do different ways to try to test our own numbers to come up with a reasonable forecast. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 17 of 26 Pages DEWOLF: You are averaging almost 4.7% growth from July 2000 to July 2002, and anticipate almost 5.5% growth over the next three years, according to these numbers. Why would it speed up more in the kind of economic times we're facing now. I mean, I'm just trying to understand the methodology. It's actually from 4.68% to 5.44%; almost 2% higher per year in the next three years than in the first two years. BYERS: The jump from the first few years was based on a longer span of growth data for the Bend urban area, going back through mid -1990's and even the early 1990's. So, even though we have had some years that have been up and down - - we had some years that were 6+% for the City of Bend -- several years less than 5%, several years more than 5%, so we looked at that most recent pattern of growth in Bend, and used that to go out another five to ten years. Even though we haven't been on the mark maybe this year or last year, we still use that as a pretty good measurement of how things could continue to go for the next few years. DEWOLF: Did you most recently compare these past two years, the actual numbers, with what was estimated for these two years? I mean, we had an estimate at some point that said, here's what is going to happen between 2000 and 2002. Was that part of this process, to compare actuals? BYERS: I guess the way I would hedge that is that in the previous forecast we had done, just a few years ago, we're already eight or ten years beyond where we thought we were going to be. That was 1998. That just shows the dramatic rate of growth we experienced in the last several years, which puts the forecast way out of whack in just five years. DEWOLF: Do we have any copies of testimony that was given at that time, about the estimates? I mean, we've got questions from Paul, and we've got statements from Kate Kimball. Do we have similar types of letters from five years ago that question the methodology at that point? If they exist, it would be nice to have that as a comparison tool as well. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 18 of 26 Pages BYERS: I'd have to go back and look at the City's record for the comp plan and general plan hearings, because that was part of the general plan update. I don't know about the County's hearings back in 1997 or whenever it was. DEWOLF: I just want to compare Kate five years ago to Kate today, and the population estimates from five years ago to today. Are the questions similar; are the assumptions similar on the all sides of this thing. Maybe it's a waste of time, I don't know. It just seems like it would be helpful. LUKE: How long do you need the record to remain open to provide that, Damian? SYRNYK: Probably, to be safe, at least a week. That would give us time. GEORGE READ: I was involved when we adopted the last set. I don't believe anybody testified at the hearing; it was virtually uncontroversial. I'm 99.99 percent certain there wasn't any testimony. If we find anything, we will submit it into the record. Mike (Byers) pointed out that the City had just gone through its comprehensive plan process at that time, and their projected growth numbers had already been debated before we did our coordinated population process. So, it was a separate process. We just used the numbers from that process in our process. If there had been controversy, it happened before the coordinated population forecast as part of the comprehensive plan update. There was quite a debate. There was a working group that went on for two or three years, a citizens' committee. I know there was a lot of debate over establishing what numbers we should use; they settled on the numbers and we used those numbers. DALY: And they turned out to be totally wrong, is that correct? LUKE: They turned out to be conservative. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 19 of 26 Pages Maybe I'll address that a little bit, because I attended a lot of those meetings. The debate was, were we going to continue to grow at that high growth rate of the early 1990's. Was the five-year window we were looking at during 1990 to 1995 adequate to make projections that were that high. And the answer was no, we don't think so. We think we're liable to hit a recession like we did in the 1980's and it will flatten back out. That was the assumption that was used at that time. We didn't make that assumption this time. A lot of the debate that staff had when we started looking at these numbers. We kind of settled on, no, we don't think it's going to slow down. We had it slow down a little further out because we just don't know. DEWOLF: Can we put this on the agenda for a couple of weeks from now? No other audience members indicated they wished to testify. LUKE: We'll leave the written record open until a week from today at 5:00 p.m., and this will be back on the agenda for Wednesday, February 12. CRAGHEAD: If you do the first reading today and make any changes before the second reading, you'll have to read those changes into the record. It does delay the process if you delay the first reading to the next meeting. LUKE: Do we continue the public hearing to the 12th so we can have the first reading then? Or is the public hearing over? CRAGHEAD: You can close the public hearing for oral testimony and leave it open for written testimony. Again, this is a legislative matter so you don't have to worry about ex parte contacts. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 20 of 26 Pages LUKE: Let's continue the public hearing until February 12th. We can do the first reading then. We're not closing the public hearing; we're continuing the public hearing until February 12, at which time we will also do the first reading if we so choose.. 9.

Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Resolution No. 2003- 011, Authorizing the Financing of Various Capital Construction and Improvement Projects in an Amount not to Exceed $30,250,000. Commissioner Luke asked if anyone in the audience had questions on this item; there was no response. He went on to explain that if anyone is wondering, there are different funds for different items, and the funds in the capital construction fund cannot be mixed with operations funds. (A copy of the analysis sheets for capital projects and proposed financing is attached at Exhibit D) Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Page 21 of 26 Pages Commissioner DeWolf added that what the County is doing is going forth with something that has been planned for many years. Funds were set aside gradually to avoid having to go to the citizens for more money. Specific excess properties owned by the County have been sold with the revenue going towards the Becky Johnson facility and the Human Services building. He further said that the State is paying a significant amount of rent on the new building, and without their involvement the project would have been delayed for several years. Courtroom space is needed before long, as is better space for County services in southern Deschutes County. Mike Maier added that this is a good time to sell the bonds, as rates are good. This action also helps the County be better prepared for the anticipated growth in the local population. DEWOLF: Move approval. DALY: Second. VOTE: DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 12.

Probably the most noteworthy accomplishment of your periodic review was the adoption of an innovative plan for a new urban neighborhood in south county under the regional problem solving (RPS) process. Deschutes County is the first jurisdiction in the state to successfully demonstrate how collaboration under RPS can produce agreement among local, state and federal participants to address complex regional land use, environmental and natural resource issues. Through your periodic review the county also updated your comprehensive plan and ordinances to finish the difficult task of planning for your various unincorporated rural and resort communities. County officials and planning staff including George Read, Catherine Morrow and others are to be commended for their skill, cooperation and leadership in reaching this important milestone under Oregon's land use planning program. Please contact Jon Jinings, your regional representative, at (503) 3883-6424, if you have any questions or need any further land use information or assistance. Congratulations, / ?mes B.

Plan Amendment File No. PA -02-6 Work Session Scheduled January 27, 2003 PURPOSE This report serves as the Staff Report for the above -referenced proposal. This report provides background information on coordinated population forecasts and a discussion of the process to date for developing the proposed population forecast. The purpose of the January 29, 2003 public hearing is for the Board of Commissioners to receive testimony from interested citizens on a new coordinated population forecast for Deschutes County, including forecasts for the cities of Bend, Redmond, and Sisters. The adoption of a new population forecast involves adopting an amendment to the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan. You will find enclosed a copy of the proposed plan text (including the forecast) and a background report. These documents are also identified as Exhibits "A" and "B," respectively, to a proposed adopting ordinance (Ordinance 2003-001). You will also find enclosed copies of the written testimony submitted into the record on this matter. BACKGROUND Oregon law requires counties to coordinate the development and the maintenance of population forecasts for use in maintaining and updating comprehensive plans. The 1995 Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2709, which recognized the need for ensuring consistency in forecasting population and codified this obligation of the county: "195.036 Area population forecast; coordination. The coordinating body under ORS 195.025 (1) shall establish and maintain a population forecast for the entire area within its boundary for use in maintaining and updating comprehensive plans, and shall coordinate the forecast with the local governments within its boundary. " Quality Services Performed with Pride Exhibit B (page 1 of 27) Along with the passage of this bill, the Legislature directed the State Office of Economic Analysis (OEA) to develop a statewide population forecast for the state of Oregon and all 36 counties for local governments to rely on in developing their local population forecasts. Population forecasting is a critical part of comprehensive planning in Oregon because it provides a basis for several functions. First, cities in Oregon develop and maintain population forecasts for ensuring a 20 -year supply of buildable land within their urban growth boundaries (UGB). Cities are required to ensure their comprehensive plan and zoning provide adequate land for residential, commercial, and industrial development. Second, population forecasting provides information for developing transportation plans and ensuring adequate funding for capitol improvements. Cities, counties, and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) rely on such data to ensure an adequate capacity in transportation systems. 'Third, all local governments rely on such forecasts to ensure they can continue to serve the needs of a growing or declining population. Public organizations such as school districts, water and sewer districts, and agencies in the fields of health and human services rely on such forecasts to provide adequate levels of service and to plan for capital improvements to their infrastructure. Finally, such forecasts also provide information for private and public economic development programs. To develop and adopt its first coordinated forecast in 1998 the County coordinated with all three cities and relied upon the 1997 statewide forecast of OEA. The 1997 OEA forecast relied on the July 1, 1990 population of each jurisdiction as a base and forecast population change to the year 2025. The 1998 coordinated forecast is attached with this report and includes the population forecast of each city and the unincorporated county. The results of the 2000 Census and subsequent population estimates of the county's population by the Population Research Center (PRC) at Portland State University revealed the population of Deschutes County, including the populations of Bend and Sisters, were growing faster than predicted under the 1998 forecast. The most recent estimates of population from the PRC, as of July 1, 2002, show Deschutes County with a population of 126,500, Bend at 57,750, Redmond at 16,110, and Sisters at 1,080. The 2002 estimate for the population of unincorporated Deschutes County is 51,560. The 1998 forecast for Deschutes County in the year 2000 was 113,231. The 2000 Census showed Deschutes County with a population of 115,367. The 1998 forecast shows Bend reaching a population of approximately 57,000 people in 2009. Redmond's population has grown an average of 9.3 percent per year since the 2000 Census, and could exceed their 1998 forecast by the year 2005. Sister's population grew by 12.5 percent since the 2000 Census, and could continue to grow with the availability of sewer service in the city. PROCESS SUMMARY This section summarizes the process through which the County and each city developed the proposed forecast. You will find a more complete description in the attached report "Deschutes County Coordinated Population Forecast 2000-2025: Final Report January 2003" (background report). The County began work on updating the 1998 forecast in the fall of 2001. In December 2001, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) awarded the County a technical assistance grant to fund the coordination and the development of the new forecast. Beginning in January of this year, the County began developing a forecast for the unincorporated county while also coordinating with representatives of each city in the Staff Report — PA -02-6 January 29, 2003 Hearing Page 2 Exhibit B (page 2 of 27) i development of their respective forecasts. You will find a list of the participants on this project on page 2 of the background report. This working group met ten (10) times over the last year to coordinate the development of the forecast. The group relied upon a draft forecast of Deschutes County provided by OEA in advance of their completing the 2002 statewide forecast. Representatives of each city prepared forecasts based on their current assumptions for continued growth. The County prepared a forecast for the unincorporated portion of the county by estimating final build -out of the land in each zoning district (e.g. EFU, RR10) and then relying on OEA 2002 draft forecast for Deschutes County to forecast the change in the population of unincorporated Deschutes County over the life of the forecast. You will notice in the proposed 2003 forecast that each city captures a larger percentage of the county's total population as population growth in the rural/unincorporated county slows toward the final years of the forecast. The County Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed forecast on December 12, 2002. The Commission received oral testimony and a letter from Carrie Ward on behalf of Friends of Bend. The Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District and 1000 Friends of Oregon also submitted letters into the record. The Planning Commission forwarded the proposed forecast to the Board at this meeting. Planning staff involved in the process to date developed and included additional findings in support of the forecast, including assumptions that are before you in the January 2003 version of the background report. Staff prepared these additional findings to respond to the public testimony on the forecast. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of Commissioners take the following actions: 1. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed forecast; 2. Consider testimony received on this draft, including any questions or issues raised in the testimony, and; 3. Provide Staff Direction on whether the Board is prepared to make a decision after the hearing, or after a future work session.

This paper is divided into the following sections: • Overview - background information for the forecast, • Coordinated Forecast - population growth forecasts for each jurisdiction, • County -wide Patterns - data for the Deschutes County as a whole, and • Jurisdiction Details - explanation of forecasts for non -urban Deschutes County, Bend, Redmond, and Sisters. OVERVIEW The 1995 Legislature recognized the need for local consistency in population forecasting and for a coordinated statewide total by adding a statute requiring counties to: ...establish and maintain a population forecast for the entire area within its boundary for use in maintaining and updating comprehensive plans, and shall coordinate the forecast with the local governments within its boundary. [ORS 195.036] The state Office of Economic Analysis (OEA), a division of the Department of Administrative Services, was designated as the main forecasting unit for the state of Oregon. In addition to preparing population and employment forecasts that could be used consistently by state agencies, the OEA was given the task to forecast population and employment changes for the whole state and each county. Within the county, the total population forecast for each of the cities and unincorporated area must match the county -wide forecast as estimated by OEA. As an alternative to strictly following the OEA forecast, the jurisdictions must agree on other population figures and justify to the Department of Land Conservation and Development why the locally prepared forecast is different than the OEA forecast. In January 1997, the OEA produced the first statewide coordinated population and employment forecast for all the counties through the year 2040. Later that year representatives from Deschutes County, Bend, Redmond, and Sisters - in cooperation with OEA - agreed upon a coordinated county population forecast through the year 2020.1 Table 1 below shows the 1997 coordinated OEA forecast for the total county population through 2025. 1 These 1997 coordinated population numbers were adopted by the county through Ordinance 98-084 as part of the County Comprehensive Plan, and Bend included the coordinated population numbers in its 1998 update to the Bend Area General Plan.

By late 2000 the local planning staffs were aware that the actual population numbers for the county were exceeding the OEA population forecast prepared just three years earlier. The unprecedented rate of population growth statewide during the 1990s and into this decade also generated interest at the state level for a new OEA forecast. The OEA was scheduled to generate new population and employment numbers by March 2002.2 In February 2002, the County Community Development Department received a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development [DLCD] to coordinate another round of local population forecasting in anticipation of new OEA numbers. This new effort undertaken by the county involved six meetings among staff of all four jurisdictions in the county and the two DLCD regional field representatives. The county and city staffs agreed that a new forecast was needed and set 2025 year as the ending date for this coordinated forecast.3 Issues discussed during the coordination meetings included: • Data sources including County GIS records, • Comparison of OEA forecast numbers to actual population numbers, • Short term (10 year) historic growth rates for each jurisdiction, • Long term (20 year) historic growth rates for each jurisdiction, • Growth of urban areas relative to non -urban areas of the county, • Demographic patterns, and • Various methods to forecast population change. COORDINATED FORECAST The county and city planning staffs evaluated several draft growth scenarios. Absent new official forecast numbers from OEA the jurisdictions developed population forecasts for the county as a whole and for each jurisdiction in five-year increments to the year 2025. Table 2 below provides 2 By early summer OEA had released a preliminary, unofficial, non-binding forecast for Deschutes County. As of the middle of January 2003 OEA had not yet released official population forecast numbers for the 36 counties. 3 Redmond is currently conducting an urban reserve study and will independently forecast its population growth out an additional 25 years to 2050.

However, in general, the coordinating group derived the forecast numbers using several underlying assumptions or themes: • Growth in the rural portion of the county will slow relative to the urban areas • Redmond will capture a greater percentage of the total county growth • Bend will continue to have high growth rates in the short term followed by a decline in the rate of growth • Sisters will grow consistently during the forecast period. PAGE 6 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 12 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" COUNTY -WIDE PATTERNS Deschutes County experienced a substantial increase in its population during the 1990s. According to data prepared by the Population Research Center at Portland State University, Deschutes County had the highest percent change in population of all the Oregon counties - almost 54 percent - between the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census periods. In real numbers, the county had the fifth largest population increase, trailing only the three metropolitan Portland counties and Marion County. The data below are from the U.S. Census and the Portland State University Population Research Center. Table 4 Deschutes ounty Com onents of Po ulation Change April 1, 1990 to A ril 1, 2000 Population Population Change Percent 1 1 girths Deaths Natural Increase Net Migration 4/l/2000 4 1 1990 Chane 115,367 74,958 1 40,409 1 53.9% 1 12,101 1 7,388 1 4,713 35,696 It is important to note that almost 90 percent of the county population growth was due to individuals and families moving into the area. In other words, the rapid growth of the past decade has been primarily driven by outside national and regional factors rather than local land use conditions and costs. Central Oregon continues to be a very attractive place for people to live, work, and retire. The rapid population increase in Deschutes County has exceeded the growth rates previously forecast by state experts. For a point of comparison, in July 1993 Portland State University forecast Deschutes County's 2000 population to be 106, 671. The more recent 1997 Office of Economic Analysis forecast the county's population in 2000 at 112, 846. Based on the PSU certified population for the cities, and Deschutes County GIS and building permit data, the calculated population for the county as of July 1, 2000 was 117,688 - almost 5,000 more than previous OEA forecast numbers. In addition, the PSU Certified 2002 population for Deschutes County was 126,500 - up 8.5% from 2000. The local governments in Deschutes County expect that the population growth rates will continue to be higher than predicted in the 1997 OEA forecast. The chart on the next page compares the OEA 1997 forecast numbers for Deschutes County to the 2002 locally coordinated forecast and to a forecast based on a continuation of the County's historical 20 -year average growth rate of 3.2 percent per year. PAGE 7 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) _ - Exhibit B (page 13 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" 111 1 111 ■ • ' ' % •• • 1 1 of % 111 11 111 � • 111 1 111 111 / oil 11 111 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 Much of the countywide population increase has been within the cities, but the non -urban (rural) portion of the county has also maintained consistent growth levels. For the 12 -year period from 1990 through 2001 the county issued building permits for almost 11,000 new single-family homes outside the three Urban Growth Boundaries.5 These recent growth rates, combined with the apparent lack of constraints to rapid growth, led the coordinating group to forecast strong growth averaging about five percent a year for the county as a whole during the five year period ending in 2005. JURISDICTION DETAILS NON -URBAN COUNTY The supply of rural buildable lots is limited due to land use regulations with about 12,800 vacant lots remaining in the inventory as of 2002 according to county GIS data. If the new construction in the rural parts of the county continues at the average of 910 homes a year the supply of rural lots would be gone in 14 years. This combination of conditions leads to an assumption that the rural lot supply there will not be consumed by 2015, but there will be very slow growth 5 Even assuming that some of these new dwellings are "second homes" or "future retirement homes" the total number of dwellings consumes the limited supply of lots for future development outside of UGBs. The declining supply of rural lots over the long term shifts more of the future growth into the urban areas. PAGE 8 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 14 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" in the non -urban population over the long-term, especially after 2015. This slower growth leads to a corresponding reduction in the County's historical share or percentage of total growth and a shift of population to the cities. [See Table 3 above] Deschutes County completed the following steps to develop the forecast for the unincorporated portions of the County. This forecast covers the entire county with the exceptions of the urban growth boundaries of its three cities. The County first developed a build -out analysis for the unincorporated county. The end result was the final number of residential units that could be developed in each zoning district, based on current zoning and land use law. The County calculated the number of residential units in each zoning district, based on current minimum lot size standards and density limitations. The planning staff made assumptions about the available land to be developed in exclusive farm and forest uses as part of the calculation. The calculation also included potential development in the destination resorts Eagle Crest and Pronghorn. Forecast Assumptions 1. Potential Dwelling Units. The County assumed that land within each zoning district would be developed according to the current standards of each respective zoning district and state law. For each zone, Staff used the Community Development Department's geographic information system (GIS) to perform the following calculations for potential number of existing, new, and total dwelling units. The County assumes that one (1) new dwelling unit per lot of record (existing and potential) would be developed. a. Exclusive Farm Use Zones. The County performed two (2) calculations for the EFU Zones. For the six (6) subzones, not including the Horse Ridge East subzone, the County assumed each parcel eligible for a partition under Sections 18.16.055 and 18.16.060 of the EFU Zone would be partitioned. For the EFU-Horse Ridge East subzone, the County assumed divisions of parcels greater than or equal to 640 acres because of the minimum lot size of 320 acres in this subzone. b. Forest Use (F1 and F2) Zones. Chapters 18.36 and 18.40 of the County Zoning Ordinance include the applicable standards for land divisions in the Forest Zones. The County assumed partition of parcels that would result in new parcels of 240 acres, which could potentially qualify for a large tract dwelling under the terms of the Forest Use Zones. The analysis did not include public forest lands or corporate -owned forest lands. The analysis also allocated potential dwellings per parcel for parcels less than 480 acres. PAGE 9 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 15 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" C. Rural Residential and Multiple Use Agricultural Zone. The County treated tax lots in these zones the same because each has a minimum lot size of ten (10) acres. The analysis counted vacant and developed tax lots less than 19 acres. For potential land divisions to create lots or parcels of 10 acres in size, the analysis counted tax lots of 19 or more acres in size to develop an estimate of the potential number of lots that could be created in these districts. d. La Pine Urban Unincorporated Community. The County assumed that parcels or lots eligible for a land division would be divided to create the maximum number of parcels permitted by each zone district. The La Pine Community has both public sewer and water services, which allow for greater density. In the La Pine Residential (LPR) and the Wickiup Junction Commercial/ Residential (LPWJ) zones, the analysis assumed 25 percent of land for a given property would be devoted to roads and infrastructure and not available for creation of a residential lot. For the LPR Zone, the analysis assumed a density of 3.5 units per acre. For the La Pine Commercial (LPC) Zone, which does not allow land divisions for residential purposes, the analysis assumed no residential land division and counted individual tax lots with dwellings. For the Neighborhood Residential General (LPNRG) Zone, the analysis developed an estimate of 1,717 units based on the planning for the Neighborhood Planning Area. e. Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community. The analysis assumed no new land divisions because of the lack of parcels large enough for land divisions. The analysis counted the number of vacant and developed tax lots to determine the number of existing and potential dwelling units. f. Terrebonne Rural Community. The County assumed potential divisions of residential land for new residences, but not the commercial land. For the TeR Zone, the analysis assumed existing sewer system and a future public water system that would allow one-half (0.51) -acre lots. For the TeR5 Zone, the analysis assumed parcels 10 or more acres in size could be divided to create five (5) -acre parcels under the terms of the zone. The TeR5 Zone has a minimum lot size of five (5) acres. For the commercial zones TeC and TeCR, the County assumed no residential land divisions and counted individual tax lots with residences. g. Tumalo Rural Community. The County assumed potential divisions of residential land for new residences, but not the commercial land. For the TuR Zone, the County assumed a future public water system that would allow one-half (0.51) -acre lots. For the TuRS Zone, the analysis assumed parcels 10 or more acres in size could be divided to PAGE 10 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 16 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" create five (5) -acre parcels under the terms of the zone. The TuRS Zone also has minimum lot size of five (5) acres. For the commercial zone TuC, no residential land divisions were assumed and the analysis counted individual tax lots with residences. h. Resort Community Zones of Black Butte Ranch (BBRR) and Inn at the 7th Mountain/Widgi Creek (WCR) districts, the analysis counted vacant and developed tax lots. i. Urban Reserve Zones. The County has jurisdiction over two (2) urban reserve zones for the Bend Urban Area: Urban Area Reserve (UAR10) and Suburban Low Density Residential (SR2.5). The analysis counted vacant and developed tax lots. For lots zoned UAR 10, the analysis estimated the potential number of new parcels using the minimum lot size of 10 acres for parcels 20 or more acres in size. For the SR2.5 Zone, the analysis estimated the potential number of new parcels using the minimum lot size of 2.5 acres for parcels five (5) or more acres in size. j. Destination Resorts. For the destination resorts of Eagle Crest and Pronghorn, the analysis included 700 dwelling units and 900 dwelling units, respectively, based on the land use approvals for each resort. 2. Forecast Growth Rates. County Staff relied on the proposed draft growth rates from OEA for each five-year period for forecasting the change of the unincorporated population of Deschutes County over the forecast horizon. Staff assumed lower rates of growth in each period. As rural lots are developed and become more scarce, potential buyers will look to lots with the cities for residential development. The following table shows the proposed growth rates developed by OEA for Deschutes County and the County's proposed growth rates for the unincorporated County during the forecast: Five Year Period Unincorporated Deschutes County OEA 2000-2005 10.94% 12.60% 2005-2010 13.17% 14.24% 2010-2015 11.23% 13.30% 2015-2020 8.93% 11.90% 2020-2025 5.02% 9.27% 3. Housing Unit and Household Size. To develop the final forecast for the unincorporated County, County Staff relied on persons per housing unit, instead of persons per household, from the 2000 PAGE I 1 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 17 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" Census. Household size is a term that refers to all of the people who occupy a housing unit. The household size for Deschutes County in 2000 was 2.50 persons per household. The household size is calculated by dividing the total population in households by the number of households. A housing unit may be a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied as separate living quarters. The term persons per housing unit refers to the number of persons living in each housing unit. To forecast the population of the unincorporated county, Staff relied on persons per housing unit, rather than persons per household. The purpose of doing this was to reduce the potential number of persons per housing unit to account for second homes and vacancies in the unincorporated county. The 2000 Census showed that 16.5 percent of the housing units in Deschutes County were counted as vacant because they were the market or for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. As indicated above, the persons per household calculated from the 2000 Census was 2.5 persons per household. The County relied on persons per housing unit size of 2.1 for the county that took into consideration vacancies and second homes. The housing unit size of 2.1 was developed using the total population county for the County in the 2000 Census (115,367) and dividing it by the total number of housing units (54,583). Instead of focusing on only occupied household, this approach looks at the population as a whole and spreads it across all housing units.

To develop a final population of the unincorporated county at build -out, the County staff used an historical average of 910 building permits per year (based on a 12 -year historic average) and an average of 2.1 persons per housing unit. This resulted in a final population in the unincorporated county of 81,421 people. This estimate of population relies on an assumption that the 2.1 persons per housing units takes into account the fact that some of these new units will be vacation or second homes in the unincorporated county. According to the year 2000 U.S. Census, the average household size 2.5 persons for year-round occupied dwellings in Deschutes County. Table 6 Unincorporated Buildout Population Existing + Potential Persons per Build -out units housing unit population 38,772 2.1 persons 81,421 To forecast this population change from 2000 to 2030, the County assumed that the population of the non -urban County would continue to grow, but at rates below those forecast by OEA. By the year 2030, the County will begin reaching its build out and possibly seeing a slow down in growth to approximately one (1) percent per year. This element of the forecast is based on an assumption that certain unincorporated communities, such as La Pine, may expand to include additional land within its growth boundary. This forecast also assumes that other lands that are mapped and eligible for PAGE 14 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 20 of 27) EXHIBIT 'B" destination resort development will be developed and include permanent and year-round housing. As land in the incorporated portion of the county is built -out, population growth will slow as population moves to available lands within the urban growth boundaries of cities. Finally, the forecast assumes that the current county zoning and state land use laws will not change during the forecast period to accommodate additional population in the unincorporated portions of the county. BEND The Portland State University Population Research Center estimates Bend's July 1, 2002 population at 57,750 persons. In the previous coordinated forecast Bend was not expected to reach this level until 2010, so Bend is about eight years ahead of the 1997 forecast. In preparing Bend's population forecast the city's Long Range Planning staff considered eleven different population growth scenarios. The preferred forecast that makes up Bend's portion of the coordinated forecast was in the low mid-range of the growth scenarios. The preferred forecast is based on several factors: • Historic growth trends for Bend, • Comparative growth rates and percentages, • Current age groupings, and • Conditions that might limit future growth rates. One aspect of forecasting is to evaluate historic data to determine if there are patterns or trends that may affect future growth. The average annual population increase for Bend is shown in Table 7. Table 7 Bend Average Annual Growth Rate 22 -years (1980-2002) 12 -years (1990-2002 3.9% 1 5.9%6 Source: Portland State University annual reports; annual housing data from Bend and Deschutes County; city annexation records. Over the longer 22 -year historic period - including the recession of the mid-1980s - the annual average growth rate in Bend was almost double the statewide average. The even higher short-term rate has continued into 2002, despite the current national economic recession. These short-term growth 6 The 1990-2002 average annual growth rate is for the whole UGB which included parts that were within County jurisdiction that developed with septic tanks and drain fields. Inside the Bend city limits during this period the annual growth rate, excluding annexations, was higher at 6.3% due to sewer service and other factors. PAGE 15 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 21 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" rates, combined with other factors described below, create a reasonable argument for continued high population growth rates in Bend during the next few years up to 2010. Although Bend's annual growth rate has been robust during the past 10 years, Redmond's annual growth rates have been even higher with an average 7.0% a year during this period. Redmond's high growth rates and its increasing share of the total population growth will affect Bend's long term forecast by reducing Bend's share of total county growth. These comparative percentage changes for the jurisdictions are shown in Table 2. Another factor considered in Bend's forecast is the current age groupings in Bend. Most of the recent population increase has come largely from "in -migrants" that are baby -boomers and the following generation of children and grandchildren rather than elderly retirees.? The chart below shows the age distribution for Bend from the 2000 U.S. Census. Figure 5 Bend Age Groupings - Year 2000 20 i .r 15 c 10 d IL 5 0 5-14 15-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65-74 75-84 Ages In the 2000 Census data, the peak of baby -boomers follows the rapidly declining percent of older residents. The baby -boomer group is in turn followed by the slightly smaller plateau of the "echo" generation. As Bend's population ages over 10 or 20 years (imagine the line of age grouping in Figure 5 sliding to the right) the oldest baby -boomers will be in their early 60s and then early 70s - still not into the high mortality years. Correspondingly, the baby -boomer children who are now in their teens and 20s will be in their 30s and mid 40s by the end of the 2025 forecast period. These age characteristics affect Bend's 7 This fact is supported by the rapid increase in school age children in the Bend schools and in -migrant age data for Deschutes County. PAGE 16 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 22 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" forecast because it is assumed that there will not be a significant natural decline (death due to aging) of the existing population and that the echo generation will continue to add to the natural increase (births) of the population. The change in Bend's population, as noted earlier, is not primarily due to natural increase, but is greatly affected by factors that are not influenced by local political decisions or economic development efforts. Reasons to migrate to Bend (and other cities throughout Oregon) are relative to the reasons that lead to people to leave other places - crime, high housing prices, aging school facilities, poor air and water quality, and so forth. As part of the population forecasting for Bend the city staff considered several factors that could be expected to affect Bend's attractiveness to potential in -migrants. Some of these factors concern the City's ability to provide for growth (infrastructure `supply); others relate to the overall livability of Bend (in -migrant `demand). The factors are listed below. A primary purpose of this forecast is to provide a reasonable basis for long-term land use and public facility planning. The forecast figure is a technical tool, indicating a likely future condition based on historical patterns and what is assumed about future trends. From this standpoint, in the absence of clear indicators of likely service deficiencies, it is more prudent to assume that needed public facilities will be available to accommodate growth. That is, it is better in the long term to plan for expected growth, even if actual growth rates turn out to be somewhat lower than expected, because the community will already have planned for the needed facilities rather than being forced to play "catch-up" due to faulty assumptions to the availability of adequate facilities. In addition, Oregon's land use planning law requires cities to provide for expected growth by resolving any potential building moratorium due to inadequate facilities, while allowing for expansion of UGBs to handle an expanding population. Adjusting a population forecast downward by way of unfounded assumptions that adequate public facilities will not be available runs counter both to good planning and to state law. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPLY • Water Supply - adequate ground water supply exists, but mitigation will be necessary. Although the City will need to obtain additional water rights through the Oregon Water Resources Department, it seems more reasonable at this time to assume that permits for an adequate water supply will be obtained than to assume that they will not. The Avion Water District currently serves most areas outside the UGB. PAGE 17 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 23 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" • Sewer Supply - the city has adequate land for expansion of the treatment plant and facilities. • Housing Supply - new construction of all housing types continues to be strong and hundreds of single-family lots are available for construction or are in the development phase. If additional land is needed to provide for a 20 -year supply of housing, the UGB may be expanded for that purpose. • School Crowding - not a problem in the short term as the district is building new school facilities; the Bend -La Pine school district has been successful in passing bonds for new school construction and facility improvements. While future financing for needed facilities cannot be guaranteed, historical experience suggests that a lack of school facilities is unlikely to act as a significant growth constraint. • Parks and Recreation Opportunities - the Bend Metro Park & Recreation District recently forecast growth in its service district population that is comparable to this Coordinated Population Forecast. In late 2002 the District adopted higher System Development Charges for new housing development. The new fee level is calculated to accommodate growth by providing funds needed to buy land and build the expected level of park and recreation facilities. Also, Bend's proximity to national forest, state parks, and other public lands will continue to allow new residents to pursue a wide variety of recreational interests. • Transportation System - Bend's rapid growth has made it difficult to provide system components (roads, Dial -A -Ride, trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks) fast enough to keep up with the short-term demand. Regular evaluations of system needs are provided through updates to the city's Transportation System Plan and requirements for coordinated transportation planning under the new Metropolitan Planning Organization. Although certain components of the transportation system are often considered to be operating at less than optimal levels, historical experience suggests that the overall system will continue to operate at levels that do not act as a serious constraint to growth. IN -MIGRATION DEMAND • Housing Prices - although among the highest in Central Oregon, prices are still low relative to major metropolitan areas in California, Washington and other states - the main areas from which people migrate to Central Oregon. • Social Services - regional medical and education facilities continue to grow. Bend will continue to be the regional center for county, state, and federal social service programs. • Crime Incidents - increasing relative to the past, but mainly property crimes and rates lower than metropolitan areas. PAGE 18 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/2c)/()1) Exhibit B (page 24 of 27) 19MOMMUMM • Economic Recession - the most recent recession did not slow growth in Deschutes County or Bend.$ It would probably take a major national economic collapse or decline to slow growth in Bend. • Job Growth - during the past decade in the tri -county Central Oregon region the rate of job growth has been faster than population growth. Bend's role as regional retail and service center increases opportunities for continued job growth in Bend. • Parks and Recreation Programs - the Park and Recreation District continues to address the growing demand for its program and facilities by developing new parks and expanding its recreation programs that suit the changing interests and demographics of the community. • Natural Disaster- two wildfires in and adjacent to Bend in the past 12 years did not slow growth and the city and county are better prepared now to fight wildfires. Volcanic eruptions could discourage people from moving here. These factors, and the other points described in the previous pages, support a pattern of continued rapid growth for Bend in the short term and a long-term growth pattern that will almost double Bend's current population by 2025. i?1-5i5��A 81 -All During the past 12 years, and especially in the most recent years, Redmond has had exceptional population increases. Growth in the Redmond UGB averaged about 7.0 percent per year during this time, with the last couple of years in Redmond approaching 11 percent! An assumption built into the coordinated forecast is that Redmond's percentage or share of the total countywide population will continue to increase slightly over time due to the city's aggressive growth policies and housing prices that are lower than in Bend. Redmond's portion of total growth is forecast to increase from the 2000 level of 13.7 percent to 18.4 percent in 2015 and to 21.4 percent by 2025. In developing a population forecast for the City of Redmond, several factors were considered: • Historic growth trends • Comparative growth rates and percentages, and • Comparative housing costs Table 8 shows the average annual growth rate for the Redmond UGB. 8 According to the Oregon Department of Employment Central Oregon Labor Trends newsletters, between January 2001 and September 2002 the number of non-farm wage and salary jobs in Deschutes County increased from 51,500 to 54,020. PAGE 19 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 25 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" Table 8 Redmond UGB Population Change and Short-term Avera a Annual Growth Rate 1980 - 1990 1990 - 2000 2000 - 2010 Forecast 6,452 - 7,163 7,163 - 13,481 13,481 - 27,873 1.05% (6.53%) (7.53% Source: Trends from U.S. Census and Portland State University Center for Population Research; Forecast from Oregon Office of Economic Analysis Recent analysis of housing costs between Bend and Redmond shows that the average sale price for a 2200 square foot home, 3-4 bedrooms with 2.5 baths in Bend is $293,225, while the sale price for the equivalent home in Redmond is $204,606. Building permit activity also reflects a continued increase in population growth. In 1999, the Community Development Department issued 394 building permits; of which 360 were single family units including manufactured homes, and 34 were multi -family units. In 2000, 595 permits were issued, of which 419 were single family units including manufactured homes, and 176 were multi -family units. And in 2001, as of June 30th, 433 permits were issued, of which 283 were single family units including manufactured homes and 150 were multi -family units. The housing permit numbers are consistent with the PSU July 1, 2002 estimate of 16,110 persons within the Redmond city limits. These factors support a continued pattern of substantial growth that will more than double the City of Redmond's population by 2010, and more than triple the population by 2025. SISTERS The official July 1, 2002 population estimated for Sisters is 1,080. The Sisters population is forecast to remain small compared to the other jurisdictions, but will experience consistent growth over the long-term. Sisters will use the new population forecast numbers as a component of its buildable lands inventory as their comprehensive plan is updated. The consistent growth forecast for Sisters is based on the recent completion of the sanitary sewer system in Sisters. The lack of a sanitary sewer system artificially limited growth in Sisters during the biggest growth period in the county's history. The city sewer system, completed in 2001, will support faster growth than was possible in the past. The sewer system construction has caused a notable increase in the issuance of building permits from a pre -sewer average of between 10 and 20 annually to 51 in 2000, to 75 in 2001, to a projected peak of 122 for 2002. PAGE 20 OF 21 - EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2003-001 (1/29/03) Exhibit B (page 26 of 27) EXHIBIT "B" This surge in demand is expected to decline over the projection period, with the exception of a three-year period of no decline from 2009 to 2012 as residential opportunities in the unincorporated County areas are depleted and a portion of that demand is transferred to the cities. The Central Oregon quality of life and our proximity to west coast population centers like Portland, Seattle and San Francisco insure a steady stream of visitors, some of whom will choose to relocate. Also, there currently are a high percentage of retirement homes being built in Sisters, and the eventual full-time occupancy of these homes over time will help maintain sustained growth. The City has community facilities plans for water, wastewater, parks and transportation. A voter mandated Charter amendment that Systems Development Charges be paid as development permits are issued ensures there will be adequate capacity in those systems to accommodate growth. The Sisters School district has adequate facilities to accept increased enrollment and their reputation for quality attracts families to the district.

I incorporate by reference my comments on December 12, 2002 before the Planning Commission on this subject. I appreciate the work the staff has done to respond to those comments. 1. General Comments a. Draft OEA Estimates: As I indicated in my earlier testimony, the county's population forecast keys off of draft estimates from the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis (OEA). While I can understand the frustration with OEA's inability to generate final numbers, the county's actions will set in stone numbers with which OEA may ultimately disagree. OEA has the more sophisticated analytical capabilities and the fact that the numbers are not final suggests that OEA has some hesitation in concluding that these numbers are correct. I request that the county either delay taking action until OEA has final numbers or that a provision is included to revisit the numbers once OEA releases a final forecast. The county would not want to bind itself to inaccurate numbers. The county appears to be trying to stay within range of the OEA draft estimates. But the OEA numbers are not final so that the county may be committing itself to the wrong forecast. This can have costly implications. These numbers will be used to assume the county's future and all land use and transportation planning will assume they are accurate. If Bend, for example, is not forecast to grow as the county forecast suggests, Bend will be committing unnecessary resources preparing for people who will not come. It would be more cost-effective yet simple to provide a review of these numbers once OEA releases a final forecast. b. Change in Composition: The 2000 census indicates that 4.304 persons of Hispanic or Latino origin live in Deschutes County (Exhibit A) while there were 1, 526 Exhibit C (page 2 of 101__ JAN 28 2003 7:51PM HP LASERJET 3200 1000 Friends of Oregon Coordinated Population Forecast January 28, 2003 Page 2 of 3 P-3 such persons in the county in 1990 (Exhibit B). The Latino population in the county has increased by 65% in the last ten years. This has implications for housing density; as the Latino population in general has more persons per dwelling than the non -Latino population. The forecast does not take into account this burgeoning population and the impacts this change has on housing density assumptions. If this trend continues, housing density will increase. Exhibits A and B also reflect an increase of over 30% in persons 65 years of age and older in Deschutes County, which is another shifting demographic that impacts future housing demand. c. Services: The forecast discusses primarily Bend's services (pages 14-15), but each urban area faces serious services shortfalls. For example, Redmond has the most pressing water supply problem and has serious school over -crowding that is not addressed in the forecast. The discussion for Bend is useful but discussion of all services should be expanded to include each city in the county. In addition, the demographics for the city of Bend do not necessarily apply to all cities or to the non -urban areas of the county. These differences should be discussed. 2. Forecast Assumptions For destination resorts, there is no discussion at all of Sunriver, Black Butte, Crosswater, or Inn of the Seventh Mountain and the assumptions for residents at those facilities. Only Eagle Crest and Pronghorn are cited. The forecast report (page 9) states the number of units that were assumed in the forecast but not the number of residents at those facilities. The forecast appears to assume the same percentage of non-resident ownership and the same density at each resort, but there is no basis for this assumption. Each resort knows how many full-time residents there are. It would be useful to have this information in the forecast, as the number of dwellings at the resorts is one of the assumptions. In addition, it is unclear to me that Pronghorn will be fully built -out in 20 years, as assumed in the forecast. Regarding forecast growth rates, I agree with the assumption that growth rates will slow down. However, there is no justification for the specific rates that were selected, only the observation that the rates will probably be lower than OEA forecast. On what basis did the county decide 8.93% (versus, for example, 7.5%) was appropriate for the period 2015-2020? While the assumption appears sound, a step is missing to explain why these particular numbers were selected. Housing density was an issue I raised in my earlier comments. I stated I thought it was inappropriate to alter housing density assumptions to take into account non- resident dwelling ownership. There should be enough information to keep the density assumptions accurate (as these assumptions are used in other contexts) and to subtract the number of non-resident owners. The staff has provided more information on this issue, which I appreciate, but the core question remains: why alter housing density to a number Exhibit C (page 3 of 10) JAN 1000 Friends of Oregon Coordinated Population Forecast January 28, 2003 Page 3 of 3 we all agree is wrong when the county is really trying to determine the number of resident (vs. non-resident) owners. If we know that there is 16.5% vacancy, then it makes more sense to subtract 16.5% of the unincorporated dwellings to arrive at the number of resident owners and have the correct density for these residents. The rate of growth was 910 building permits per year based on a 12 -year historic average. This average was unusually high due to the strong economic conditions. It would be useful to see how the estimates change using a 20 -year average, as this includes the slower economic era in the 1980's. The final forecast (Page 12) also assumes "that other lands are mapped and eligible for destination resort development will be developed and include permanent and year-round housing". It is unclear how this assumption is factored into the forecast. The destination resort discussion on page 9 makes no reference to new resorts and Table 5 does not clearly indicate where these additional units could be included. In addition, it is stated that the growth rate will slow down by 2030 (page 12) but the growth rates in page 9 assume a rate slower than OEA throughout the forecast period. Conclusion For the reasons suggested above, I recommend that the forecast be delayed or revisited when final OEA numbers become available. In addition, I request that the forecast be modified consistent with the issues raised above. In my comments before the Planning Commission, I suggested that this forecast is a good opportunity to engage the public on the future of the county and the cities in it. While some might think it is folly to energize the public on the question of growth, I believe that a public that is engaged early on will be provide more constructive and meaningful input to the decisions that lie ahead. Managing growth is not necessarily about trying to affect the rate of growth; at its core it is about anticipating growth and growing our communities in a way that retains their core characteristics. Central Oregon is a wonderful place to live, which is why so many move here. Keeping it wonderful will require planning, creativity and a community conversation about how we want to look in the next twenty years. I encourage you to start this conversation now while we have the luxury of anticipating issues and not having to respond to urgent problems. Thank you for your attention to these views.

Dewey Attorney at Law 1539 NW Vicksburg Bend, Oregon 97701 January 29, 2003 (541) 317-1993 Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1130 NW HarrimanAve. Bend, OR 97701 Re: Deschutes County Coordinated Population Forecast Dear Commissioners: The Sisters Forest Planning Committee ("SFPC") incorporates by reference the comments of 1000 Friends of Oregon in their letters of December 12, 2002 and January 28, 2003, plus the comments of the Friends of Bend. Additionally, the SFPC would like to make the following comments critical of the analysis used by the County. 1. It is inappropriate for the County to be pursuing this forecast when the Office of Economic Analysis ("OEA") has not yet issued its new official forecast numbers. As is evident from the January 2003 "Final Report," the past OEA and draft OEA analyses are critical to the methodology being used by the County. Accordingly, the County should be at least following the official forecast numbers from OEA and not relying on just drafts. It makes it very difficult to critique the County's forecast without an official OEA forecast and discussion of underlying assumptions. 2. At page 6 of the "Final Report," the County points to an "apparent lack of constraints to rapid growth." This statement ignores recent comments by Bend officials stating that water may be a constraint to growth and pointing out that mitigation measures which would allow use of more water are not working out with irrigation districts. The County's forecast must include an analysis of possible constraints such as a lack of water and water rights. 3. The County's forecast assumptions are not reliable where they rely on Deschutes County GIS and building permit data because such data is not necessarily reflective of population. This is particularly the case in Deschutes County where so many dwellings have been built by non-residents. This forecast, after all, concerns "population" and not just development of structures. See page 5 of the "Final Report" where the County states that their analyses is based on PSU certified population figures for the cities and then Deschutes County GIS and building permit data elsewhere. 4. There should be a separate analysis of the Urban Area Reserve west of Bend which is obviously going to be having a greater density than a lot size of 10 acres. The assumptions at page 8 are not consistent with the Cascade Highlands resort development proposed for that area. 5. The "Final Report" at page 7 states that this analysis did not include "corporate - owned forest lands." This assumption is not valid given the increasing conversion of industrial forest lands to residential uses in the Crown Pacific timberlands. Additionally, the Exhibit C (page 7 of 10) Deschutes County Board of Commissioners January 29, 2003 Page 2 Weyerhaeuser lands west of Sisters and west of Black Butte Ranch are in the process of being sold based on their amenity values rather than timber values. In the Crown Pacific lands the parcels include 240 -acre lots plus some proposed 80 -acre lots (just approved by the County). Any analysis of potential dwelling units must take into consideration that these corporate -owned forest lands are being converted. The Commissioners are well aware of the recent Thomas and Tweedfam/Hap Taylor partitions west of Bend. The SFPC incorporates by reference into the public comments of this Deschutes County population forecast the materials submitted by the SFPC in the recent Thomas partition regarding the partitions in these industrial timberland areas. These lands have the potential for having hundreds of dwellings. 6. The "Final Report" also incorrectly suggests that there will be a shift of population growth to cities because of the limited supply of parcels in the County. History has shown that a declining supply of lots in rural areas leads to the loosening of land use regulations to allow greater partitioning and development in the rural zones. This is reflected in the recent House Bill 3326. 7. The "Final Report" at page 9 states that the County Staff "relied on the proposed growth rates from OEA." Again, it is inappropriate to rely on these growth rates from OEA absent a final analysis by OEA which can be critically reviewed by the public. The growth rates also appear to be excessive and are apparently based on the past decade of growth which was stimulated in large part by the stock market and other growth factors in the U.S. economy during this period. It would be critical to balance that growth period by what is obviously happening now with a downturn in the economy. This is yet another reason to wait for further analysis before finalizing this forecast. 8. The County's assumption of a housing unit size of 2.1 versus 2.5 persons per household is inadequately discussed. First, there is not enough analysis of the phenomenon of vacant housing due to seasonal or recreational use. Second, there is a failure to analyze the recent and substantial increase in the Hispanic population in the area which tends to have a greater density of persons per household. There is also potentially a great difference between persons per housing unit within the urban growth boundaries and outside of the urban growth boundaries. That is certainly the case with the destination resorts. 9. The "Discussion and Explanation" of the "Final Report" continues to fail to adequately explain the underlying assumptions of this forecast. As a result, there is an insufficient basis to provide meaningful public comment and for the Commissioners to make a well -reasoned decision on the best forecast. 10. At page 15 of the "Final Report," there is a discussion of infrastructure supply. The report states that a lack of school facilities is unlikely to act as a significant growth constraint. To the contrary, the Code provisions for both Bend and Redmond clearly provides that zone changes as well as subdivision approvals are conditioned on adequate infrastructure, including schools. Where Redmond has a history of voting down schools and Bend may soon Exhibit C (page 8 of 10)__ Deschutes County Board of Commissioners January 29, 2003 Page 3 face this phenomenon, there is absolutely no basis for the assumption that school crowding will not be a problem for growth in these areas. 11. The "Final Report" also contains inadequate and misleading information regarding past forecasts. Table 2 shows an actual population for -2000 at 117,688 and criticizes PSU's underestimation of 109,600. The County fails to acknowledge its own overestimation of 128,200. (Comp. Plan, Sec. 23.20.0308). Unfortunately, the County appears to be repeating this overestimation in the current process. Conclusion. The County's Plan Amendment to adopt this new population forecast violates State Goals, ORS 195.036 and the County's Plan Amendment and Citizen Involvement provisions (see Ch. 23.124, 23.128 and 23.20) by failing to provide and use reliable and complete information in this population forecast. Additionally, no need has been shown for an amendment at this time. The "Final Report" states that a primary purpose of the forecast is to provide a reasonable basis for long-term land use and public facility planning. Unfortunately, because the assumptions are inadequately explained or are clearly wrong, this forecast will not provide such a reasonable basis. Instead, it appears to be designed to stimulate and presume greater public facilities to accommodate more growth than will be desirable or necessary. The SFPC respectfully requests the Commissioners to reject this population forecast and wait for better analyses on which to base the forecast. Very truly yours, PAUL D. DEWEY PDD:ao cc: SFPC Exhibit C (page 9 of 10) Damian Syrnyk From: JININGS Jon [Jon.Jinings@state.or.us] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 9:32 AM To: Dam ian_Syrnyk@co. desch utes. or. us Cc: WOOLLEY Laren Subject: Re: Public hearing reminder - January 29, 2003 Damian, Thanks for the note. As you know, DLCD believes Deschutes County has used acceptable methodologies to reach the Coordinated Population Forecast• expressed in the Final Report of January 2003. The county's predictions do exceed population estimates provided by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services Office of Economic Analysis (Published January 1997). However, DLCD believes that Deschutes County, along with the cities of Bend, Redmond and Sisters, has provided sufficient information to support the conclusions in the report. The fact the Deschutes County will continue to grow appears undisputed. It is important that local officials, the local planning community and other interested parties prepare for the future to avoid negative aspects of unplanned growth. We believe that the Coordinated Population Forecast will be a solid tool for the work ahead. Feel free to share this e-mail with your County Commissioners, or anyone else. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance. Thanks, Jon Jinings Regional Representative >>> Damian_Syrnyk@co.deschutes.or.us 01/27/03 09:05AM >>> Greetings, we're in the homestretch now on the forecat. Just sending a reminder that the Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the forecast this Wednesday at 10:00 am, in the Commissioner's Hearing Room (1130 NW Harriman Street).
