Unincorporated Community - Sunriver.
Under OAR 660, Division 22, Unincorporated
Communities, Sunriver meets the definition for
both an "Urban Unincorporated Community" and
a "Resort Community." With the help of a
stakeholder advisory committee comprised of key
members of the community who represent a
multitude of property owners and development
interests, the decision was made to proceed with
the planning process for Sunriver as an Urban
Unincorporated Community. It was the
consensus of the committee that the provisions
allotted for Urban Unincorporated Communities
under the rule offered the greatest practical
degree of flexibility for future growth and
development in Sunriver. Subsection OAR
660.22.010(8) defines "Urban Unincorporated
Community" as;
"[a]n unincorporated community which has
the following characteristics:
1. Includes at least 150 Permanent dwelling
units including manufactured homes;
2. Contains a mixture of land uses,
including three or more public,
commercial or industrial land uses;
3. Includes areas served by a community
sewer system; and,
4. Includes areas served by a community
water system.
A. Comprehensive Plan Findings and Policies -
General.
1. Background.
a. Historical background.
Sunriver is located in the central
portion of Deschutes County,
approximately 15 miles south of the
city limits of Bend. Sunriver lies in
the Upper Deschutes River Basin,
with the Deschutes River generally
forming the western boundary- of the
community. Sunriver includes
approximately 3,374 acres which are
bounded by the Deschutes National
Forest on the east, west and north
sides. Small lot residential
subdivision development is the
predominant land use to the south of
the community boundary. However,
Crosswater, a private
residential/resort community has also
recently been developed in the area
immediately south of Sunriver.
Development of Sunriver began in
1967 and the first subdivision plat
within Sunriver was filed in 1968.
Development in Sunriver began
during a period of time when the
unincorporated areas of Deschutes
County were not zoned. In 1972,
when the County first adopted a
zoning ordinance (PL -5) and
Comprehensive Plan, the area
identified as Sunriver was zoned A-
1 -T and designated "planned
development" on the Comprehensive
Plan map. In 1973, a zone change to
planned development (PD) was
applied for and granted. As part of
the zone change application, a
"Master Plan" was developed. The
Master Plan consisted of a map
showing the proposed development
of Sunriver. The original area of
Sunriver encompassed
approximately 5,500 acres.
Development occurred in accordance
with the PD Zone of PL -5 and the
density of development was
determined to be 1.5 units per acre
overall.
