EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS
1. The Land Use Element of the Bend Municipal Airport Master
Plan is contained in pages 41 through 55, and include
figures!.5through 8; of the Plan's Technical Report
(also gages 26-34 and figures 5 through 8 of the Plan
Summary).
2. The Bend Municipal Airport is an essential component of
the county's transportation system. Its growth reflects
experiences by the county and its growth can be expected
to continue as the county grows.
3. The airport makes a contribution to the area's economy,
and if the airport does not grow to meet the needs of the
economy, the area will suffer.
4. Effective utilization of the Bend Airport can be adversely
affected by conflicting or incompatible land uses surrounding
the Airport. The County's 1970 Comprehensive Plan re-
cognized the need to protect the airport from encroachment
by incompatible land uses. Existing land uses and zoning
in the area around the airport are compatible with the
airport use.
5. The airport is used for general aviation purposes and not
used for agricultural purposes. The agricultural uses in
the areas around the airport are compatible with the air-
port use and will not be adversely affected by the air-
port development contemplated by the Master Plan Land Use
Elements.
6. The Bend Municipal Airport Master Plan addresses both
the airport lands and the lands surrounding the airport
which will be affected by the airport and does provide
an effective means for planned and orderly development of
the airport in a manner compatible with the surrounding
lands.
7. Adoption of the Land Use Element of the Bend Municipal
Airport Master Plan is consistent with the Deschutes
County Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan, particularly as
regards Transportation Policies 8, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30.
8. The Bend Municipal Airport Master Plan is consistent with
the County Comprehensive Plan's finding that most County
commercial airport activities will be near the Redmond
Airport, while the Bend Airport will concentrate on its
general aviation abilities.

Findings
va 33 rAcE 737
9. Adequate provision for including both the Bend and
Redmond Airport Master Plans in the County Comprehensive
Plan, without a plan amendment hearing, has been made
by Comprehensive Plan Transportation Policy 24.
10. Citizen involvement and land use planning consistent with
State Land Use Planning Goals has occurred in the pre-
paration of, and adoption procedures relating to, the
Bend Municipal Airport Master Plan. Specifically, the
Bend Municipal Airport Master Plan was prepared after
public hearings within the City of Bend administrative
process; the Plan was studied and acknowledged by the
Transportation Subcommittee of the Deschutes County
Planning Commission; and the Plan was approved by the
Aeronautics Division of the State Department of Trans-
portation and by the Federal Aviation Agency. Both the
State and Federal Agencies have indicated that the plan
is a good plan and will effectively guide development of
the Bend Municipal Airport.
11. To assure adequate citizen involvement in the adoption
of the Land Use Element of the Bend Airport Master Plan,
the County required additional citizen involvement and
opportunity for review and changed by the adoption of
Transportation Policy 24 of the Deschutes County
Comprehensive Plan which states, "The land use elements
of both the Roberts Field and the Bend Airport Master
Plan shall become part of this plan and guide land use
decision-making in the vicinity of these two facilities
after public hearing, review and acceptance by the
County governing body." This resulted in a public
hearing December 21, 1979.

Bend Airport Plan
(1) AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN
The Airport Layout Plan (ALP), Figure 5, depicts the future
development of the Bend Municipal Airport as determined by
the demand forecasts, demand/capacity analysis and financial
plan contained in the Bend Airport Plan. The objective of
the ALP is to provide for the best utilization of available
land to meet the future aviation needs of the Bend Airport
throughout the 22 year planning period.
As discussed in the Facility Requirements and Alternatives
section, present usage of the airport requires early develop-
ment to a 5,000 foot General Utility (GU) runway length
capable of handling all propeller aircraft under 12,500
pound MGW. Demand forecasts justify an additional extension
to Basic Transport length in the near future. However, the
proximity of Roberts Field in Redmond and the opinions ob-
tained from the public at Master Plan Advisory Committee
meetings led to the decision to constrain the ultimate
runway length to 5,300 feet, obtainable on land presently
in airport ownership. This constraint will keep the Bend
Airport at a slightly extended General Utility design type.
Runway 16/34 will continue to be the primary runway, with
dimensions of 5,300 feet by 75 feet. It will be equipped
with medium intensity runway lights (MIRL's) and a VASI on
end 16. When the MIRL's are installed, runway end 34
should be re-marked as shown on the ALP.
The parallel taxiway for runway 16/34 will also be extended
to 5,300 feet by 40 feet. The taxiway will be unlighted.
A crosswind runway (13/31) is shown to be constructed late in
the planning period. Justification for this runway and final
alignment are dependent on completion of the wind analysis
for the airport in 1980.
Connecting and stub taxiways will be constructed to provide
access from the expanded terminal area to both runways.
Gibson Pond will be filled and the lower southeast portion of
airport property reserved for non-aeronautical uses. The
clear zone to runway 34 should be purchased to assist in
providing needed land use protection beti.een the airport and
private lands to the south. Easements should be obtained
for the other clear zones.

(2) APPROACH AND CLEAR ZONE PLAN
An Approach and Clear Zone Plan (Figure 6) based on Federal
Aviation Regulations Part 77 was prepared for the Bend
Airport. The plan shows the imaginary surfaces required for
protection of the airport. Since runway 16/34 will be
extended to 5,300 feet during the planning period and a
crosswind runway (13/31) constructed, these changes are
shown on the Approach and Clear Zone Plan.

TERMINAL AREA PLAN
The Terminal Area Plan, Figure 7, was developed in conjunction
with the Airport Layout Plan and is shown separately in order
to provide a clearer depiction of planned development in the
terminal area.
The Facility Requirements and Alternatives section discussed
the specific terminal area needs throughout the planning
period and the decision process for placement of the terminal
expansion area. That section also gives background to the
decision not to provide for continuing growth of based air-
craft demand past the planning period. The runway system
will be over capacity if more than 245 based aircraft are
accommodated. Construction of a third runway parallel to
existing runway 16/34 would provide additional capacity for
aircraft operations. However, this alternative was discarded
because of safety factors, site limitations and potential
noise impacts on existing housing development to the east of
the airport.
Because of these policy decisions, an upper limit must be
placed on the number of aircraft to be based at the Bend
Airport. This upper limit should be approximately 245
based aircraft, and this number can be easily accommodated
if this Terminal Area Plan is implemented.
Space has been provided north of the existing T-hangars
to allow adequate development of a second full-service FBO.
Additional aircraft tiedown aprons, T-hangars and auto parking
areas have been laid out to allow flexibility and staged
development. As the terminal expands,four additional stub
taxiways will be built to allow for efficient aircraft
movement.

(4) LAND USE PLAN
Introduction and Purvose
Nearly every airport in existence faces the possibility of
coming into conflict with the populace it is intended to
serve. The Bend Municipal Airport is no exception to this
general rule. Although it is presently located in an area
zoned as Exclusive Farm Use and Multiple Use Agricultural with
10 and 20 acre minimum lot sizes.
Development pressure in the entire Bend area is extreme due
to the rapidly expanding population. The potential for the
airport to be surrounded by conflicting uses is a very real
one. The land use element of this master plan is intended to
minimize that type of land use that has adverse effects
on airport use and development.
The land use element, in order to effectively serve as the
basis for a sound and supportive airport environment, must
be the primary base of understanding and information for the
proper development of land use compatability in the airport
environs. The objectives of this element of the master plan
are to:
-Provide an understanding of the nature and extent of
the airport-related noise and potential safety problems
and depict them graphically.
-Identify and describe existing circumstances.
-Identify compatible land uses.
-Identify conflicting land use.
-Identify airport noise and safety impact areas.
-Provide an Airport Area Land Use Development Plan.
-Set forth policies and guidelines for the development
of the airport environs.
-Identify ways to prevent, resolve or minimize conflicts.
-Set forth methods for implementation and compliance with
the airport area land use plan.

Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
Background and Problems
The Bend Airport is constructed on land some distance from the
urbanized area of the community it serves. There is one
housing development approximately one mile northeast of the
airport. Other housing is scattered on relatively large tracts
of land to the south and west of the airport.. Land to the
north is in public ownership (Bureau of Land Management and
Deschutes County). The growth of neither the airport nor
the community has encroached upon the other to date. This
has considerable importance for the future of the airport
because there is an opportunity to prevent the use conflicts
common to many airports that have resulted from airport
and urban uses in close proximity.
Noise and safety conflicts are uniformly recognized as the
two major compatability problems affecting airports and
surrounding land uses.
As noted previously, the facility is not yet faced with such
problems and there is the opportunity to minimize such .conflicts. Safety issues have long been recognized, and can
easily be addressed through the application of carefully defined
standard "imaginary surfaces" which identify the area above
which fixed objects constitute obstructions to navigable
airspace.
Noise problems are intensified as noise-sensitive uses are
permitted to move nearer the airport and air traffic volumes
increase. Again, the opportunity to minimize these potential
conflicts at the facility is still evident.
Jurisdictional Issues
The effects of airports extend over a substantial area, not
just the few acres in the immediate vicinity of the facility.
The airport is owned by the City of Bend, but the area affected
by the airport is outside of the city and within Deschutes
County planning and zoning jurisdiction. The courts have
ruled that the airport owner is responsible for resolving
conflicts arising from airport impacts on incompatible surrounding
uses. However, when the owner has no jurisdiction in the
zoning and resulting development in the area surrounding the
facility an untenable situation can be created.
VOL 33 PAGE 746
-8-
Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
The airport owner, the City of Bend, has taken several steps
to minimize the impact of the airport on surrounding land:
1. This plan has recommended limiting the
growth of the airport to a maximum of 245 based
aircraft. Additional usage would require con-
struction of a parallel runway to the east of
the existing runway. This has been dropped from
consideration partially because of potential
noise impact on the housing development to the
east of the airport.
2. The airport will be developed to an extent less
than demand forecasts indicate is justifiable.
The runway will be lengthened to a maximum of
5,300 feet primarily to serve light aircraft of
12,500 pounds or less, although forecasts
suggest a greater length would be justified.
This decision was based on a desire to limit
the size and noise levels of aircraft using
the facility.
3. The initial recommendation to purchase land to
the south, relocate Nelson Road and extend the
runway in that direction was discarded because of
the negative comments by area residents and
because the alternative of extension to the
north would extend noise impacts primarily in
that direction, away from private lands to the
south. The north.extension was recommended
largely for this reason.
4. The City is attempting to purchase the most
heavily impacted land directI to the south of
the runway within the clear zone.
In addition to these actions, it is of great importance
that the area impacted by the airport be zoned by the
County to assist in assuring compatability in the future.
-9n VOL 33 FAcE 747
Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
Airport Noise vs. Community Impact
The use of the facility is similar to many airports. The
predominant use is business-related and this use is expected
to increase. In fact, one of the key prerequisites for new
company locations for many major firms is an adequate airport.
Such a factor has substantial weight in the balancing of
impacts and benefits, particularly when economic growth and
stability rare primary local objective. Therefore, adequate
land use provisions are essential.
Although the airport is owned by the City of Bend, examination
of based aircraft ownership indicates that over 50 percent
of the owners live within the County but outside the City
of Bend. The facility serves the entire Bend area, with
based aircraft owners living as far away as Redmond and
LaPine.
Community and Aviation Safety
Although safety issues are more complex than those associated
with noise, it is evident that it is in the best interest
of all concerned to have the airspace clear of obstructions
and a reasonable amount of clear land at either end of a
runway. The basis for such is the fact that about 30 percent of
airplane-related fatalities occur during landing, take-off,
or in the immediate vicinity of the airport.
Existing Planning Regulations and Guidelines
The context for land use planning in airport environs is formed
by developments in aviation and by applicable land use
planning programs; federal, state and local. While the pre-
ferred methods of handling airport/community conflicts are
far from detailed, the safety issue has been addressed at all
levels of government and the growing noise problems have been
the subject of many efforts. The documents and actions out-
lined here provide the avaition context in which current air-
port land use planning efforts occur.
Safety
Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77 is the long-established
FAA document which defines the size and shape of "imaginary
surfaces" associated with any airport. These imaginary surfaces,
_10- VOL 33 PAGE t 4O
Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
which are very real to most airport operators, define the
area above which objects on the ground cannot protrude without
constituting an obstruction--in effect, these surfaces are
the earth's surface for aviation. Part 152 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations defines clear zones: the areas
at runway ends where the imaginary surface nears the ground.
These areas should be kept clear of all objects, not
only because the aircraft are near the ground, but because
mishaps occur more frequently in this area, and clear land can
preclude a major disaster. Pursuant thereto, the FAA
recommends that height controls relative to these surfaces
be incorporated into local zoning regulations applicable to
airports and surrounding areas:.
In Oregon, the Airport Zoning Act (ORS 492.510-492.990)'
provides long-established but little-used enabling legislation
dealing exclusively with aviation hazards. The Act gives
authority to every political subdivision having an airport
hazard area to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning
regulations for the area. It also discusses easements, air
rights, the taking issue, enforcement, variances, and other
related issues. However, the Act deals with only a portion
of the current problem.
The key factor noted here is that the land use element must
deal directly with both noise and safety issues.
Noise
The FAA noise abatement policy indicates that "state and local
governments are directly and uniquely responsible for ensuring
that land use planning, zoning and land development activities
in areas surrounding airports are compatible with present and
projected aircraft noise exposure in the area." State and
local governments are also encouraged to require appropriate
sound insulation in new construction, to consider insulation
of affected existing structures and "require that notice of
airport noise exposure be given to the purchasers of real
estate and prospective residents near airports."
Land Use Planning Context
At the state level, the Land Conservation and Development
Commission (LCDC) sets a standard for comprehensive planning
requiring local plans to be consistent with LCDC land use
goals. The goals have the force of lacy. Further, a
series of judicial. proceedings have established comprehensive
plans as the controlling document over local zoning. LCDC's
transportation goal, "to provide and encourage a safe, con-
venient and economic transportation system" also requires
efforts to "minimize adverse social, economic and environmental
VOL 33 PACE 749
-11-
Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
impacts and costs," and conformance with local and regional
comprehensive plans. The accompanying LCDC implementation
guidelines suggest that land adjacent to airports be managed
and controlled consistent with the comprehensive plan and that
transportation plans provide "a detailed management program
and assign respective implementation roles and responsibilities
to those governmental bodies operating in the planning area
and having interests in carrying out the goal."
Locally, the importance of land use planning relative to the
future use and development of the Bend Airport is recognized
and set forth in the Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan for Deschutes
County. The inclusion of land use goals and policies concerning
the airport and surrounding area is supported by state planning
law and relevant court decisions.
Recommendations relative to the airport set forth in the
referenced ` Comprehensive Plan are contained in the
Transportation Section. The most directly applicable
include the following:
"Adopt and enforce land use regulations around airports
to protect both the public interest in the airport
and the surrounding property owners' interests.
1. Adopt recently completed Redmond Airport Master
Plan - especially land use section to ensure
future compatability.
2. For all publicly owned airports no residential
development should be allowed within critical
noise and safety impact areas.
3. Any future land use decisions affecting publicly
owned airports in Deschutes County without a master
plan should be based on Airport Compatability
Planning Recommended Guidelines and Procedures for
Airport Land Use Planning and Zoning: Oregon
Aeronautics Division,1978.
All avenues of :federal, state and local funding should be
thoroughly explored to assist in development and improvements
of publicly , owned airports.
Encourage county participation in hearings which affect
commercial and general aviation service to county citizens.
Encourage the development of commercial and general aviation
facilities consistent with other governmental policies, plans,
and actions."

Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
To indicate the long-standing recognition by the County of the
importance of land use planning for areas around airports
in the (county, the following statement from the 1970
County Comprehensive Plan, is included:
"Five airports within the county, located at Redmond,
Sisters, Bend, Sunriver, and LaPine,are included in the
Comprehensive Plan. The new Sunriver airstrip was located
initially as part of the Sunriver community design and,
therefore, is assured protection from encroachment
by incompatible land use. In the case of the other four
airports, however, protection from such encroac ment
will be necessary to assure continued use o the air
aacilities. Additional private and-semi-private
facilities are likely to develop in various portions
of the county, particularly in areas of recreation and
recreation-residential activity. In such event, it
is proposed that they be located carefully with respect
to surrounding lands and flight patterns of existing
airports in the vicinity."
Zoning Recommendations
Existing land uses in the general area are considered com-
patible and use conflicts are minimal. Therefore, the key
to the proper development of the area is the application of
comprehensive use regulations that will insure continued
compatibility with projected airport facility use and
development. The basis for this action has been established
by recommendations in the Deschutes County Year 2000 Comp-
rehensive Plan.
In order to insure future use compatibility and minimize
the potential of use conflict, it is necessary to establish
the following zones to be applied to the airport area:
1. Airport Development Zone.
2. Airport Area Overlay Zone.
The Airport Development Zone shall consist of the airport
property owned by the City of Bend. The components of the
Airport Area Overlay Zone shall include:
1. An obstruction zone.
2. An approach safety zone.
3. A clear zone.
4. A noise corridor zone.
No use shall be approved in these zones unless found to be in

VOL 33 FACE 751
compliance with the Land Use Section of the Bend Airport
Master Plan. The Land Use Matrix set forth as Appendix B
of this Master Plan shall be used as a guide in determining
such compliance. A brief discussion of the Airport Develop-
ment Zone and the components of the Airport Overlay Zone
is set forth here as a general basis of understanding and
a guide to development of related zoning ordinance by
Deschutes County. The boundaries of these zones are shown
on the Future Land Use Drawing, Figure 8, and, in the case
of the Obstruction Zone, Figure 6, the Approach and Clear
Zone Plan. An area located in more than one zone will be
governed by that zone with the more restrictive limitations.
Airport Development Zone
This zone is not a.part of the overlay zone. It is a separate
zone classification that should be made part of the
Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance.
The area is outlined in Figure 8 and consists of the airport
site and property. If the Airport Development Zone expands
over time it should be extended into areas impacted by the
airport rather than along access routes or other features.
It should serve as an airport buffer and include areas receiving
severe noise impacts (LDN 70+).
Usesand their accessory uses permitted outright in this zone
should include only:
1. Airport and related buildings.
2. Airport-related commercial.
3. Farm use.
Conditional uses in this zone should include only:
1. Service establishements.
2. Public use.
3. Commercial.
In the consideration of the granting of a conditional use,
the following criteria should be included:
1. That the proposal is in compliance with this
Land Use Element of the Airport Master Plan
and with the County Comprehensive Plan.
2. That the proposed use is related to present land
use patterns in the area.
3. That the use will not create electrical interference
with navigational signals or radio communications
between the airport and aircraft, make it difficult
for pilots to distinguish between airport lights
and others, result in glare in the eyes of pilots
using the airport, impair visibility, create bird

Bend 'Airport Plan
strike hazards or otherwise endanger or interfere
with the landing, take-off, or maneuvering of
aircraft intending to use the airport.
4. That the use will not include high concentrations
of people.
Airport Overlay Zone
This zone is intended to place additional land use conditions
on lands impacted by the airport regardless of the underlying
zone. It is made up of the following components.
1. Obstruction Zone
While virtually no land use is categorically prohibited
in the airport obstruction area, all structures which
penetrate the imaginary surfaces are prohibited.
Typical concerns are radio or television transmission
towers and industrial smokestacks. Office and
apartment buildings and trees are generally of
little concern unless they are located in the approach,
transitional surfaces, or areas where the terrain
rises near or through the surfaces.
The area comprising this zone is shown on the
Approach and Clear Zone drawing, Figure 6. This
zone deals primarily with the height of structures,
not the uses permitted.
2. Clear Zone
Clear zones should be kept essentially clear.
Undeveloped land is the best use. Agriculture
which does not attract birds is compatible unless
it includes structures. Park and recreational
uses are satisfactory if they don't attract large
groups of people. Transportation facilities are
not a serious problem as long as height restrictions
are heeded. Most other uses should be excluded. Power-
lines are a serious danger. Unless publicly
necessary, the clear zone should be free of any
construction or obstacle and should be minimally
used by people.

Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
3. Approach Safety Zone
To sassure public safety, uses in the approach safety
zone should not attract large groups of people.
Residential uses should be discouraged. If this
is not possible, low density is preferred with re-
tirement homes or other residential institutions
being excluded. While manufacturing is generally
quite compatible, such uses should be considered
"conditional and watched for potential operations
hazards: electrical interference, high-intensity
lighting, bird-attractions, smoke, glare, or other
interferences. Transportation is generally compatible,
as are communications (except radio and television
transmission) and utilities (except petroleum storage,
electric power plants and lines, and solid waste
disposal). Commercial uses are generally com-
patible,although retail establishments such as res-
taurants or concentrated retail areas which attract
people should be avoided. Offices and services are
compatible except hospitals and rest homes. Most
recreational uses are conditionally acceptable ex-
cluding public assembly and other high-intensity
uses. Resource production, including agriculture,
and undeveloped land is generally compatible
(aggregate extraction, if it will result in ponding
and other uses posing a bird strike hazard, should be
excluded).
As indicated above, the land use under the approach
surface can be dealt with in a variety of ways.
Those uses which are reasonably compatible with the
airport and with the surrounding area would appear
to be:
a. Low density residential (10 acre minimums).
b. Agriculture and grazing.
The area included in the approach safety zone for Bend Airport
is shown on Figure 8.
4. Noise corridor Zone
The noise corridor zones for the Bend Airport
are shown on Figure 8. As discussed earlier, the area
with noise exposure of LDN 70+ should be in public
ownership. Over time the City should purchase that
portion of the LDN 70 contour area southerly of the
clear zone to runway 34. The clear zone area is
presently in purchase proceedings.
p
-16- Vol 33 SAGE 754
Addendum I
Bend Airport Plan
Those portions of the LDN 65 noise corridor lying
off airport property are, to the north, almost
entirely within the approach safety zone. The
recommendation for low density residential (10
acre minimum) and agriculture as uses permitted
outright in the approach safety zone should apply
to this noise corridor also.
The noise corridor represented by the LDN 60 to 65
contour is a moderate noise impact and does not
require special zoning treatment. It is not a
part of the recommended Airport Overlay Zone.
Implementation
The basis for implementation of this plan and the considerations,
policies, and zones set forth thereby has already been
established and is supported by existing local comprehensive
plans, state statute,., planning goals, and relevant
judicial decision.
