The Water Resources Department may place restrictions on the consumptive use of groundwater to protect the free flowing nature of the Deschutes River, instream water rights and existing water rights. These restrictions may affect the use of groundwater resources for future development and consequently affect the future growth and allocation of population in the County and the three urban jurisdictions.

Alternatives. A. Introduction. Choosing a course into the future is a difficult task. To help in making adequate decisions, it is often most desirable to consider a number of alternatives. In the preparation of the Deschutes County Plan, a number of different options were considered at several levels. First, each of the citizen advisory committees reviewed and discussed a variety of different policies, each with varying impacts, and chose the recommendations most likely to achieve the desired result. After their deliberations, the policies were sent on to the Overall Citizens' Advisory Committee, where decisions had to be made about tying the various elements of the plan together into a cohesive document. To do that it was necessary for the membership to determine a consistent philosophy and direction for development in Deschutes County. B. Population and housing projections. This subsection, and the following 'liable 1 represents the population forecast adopted with the Comprehensive Plan in 1979. The initial decision which had to be reached was which population projection to use in preparing for the future. The Center for Population Research and Census at Portland University had prepared a population estimate indicating Deschutes County would grow at an approximate rate of 2.8 per cent annually. A study by the Economic CAC indicated the present growth rate (1970-77) was 6.3 per cent annually. The committees felt that CPRC's estimate was too far off and should not be used but that use of the present growth rate would certainly exceed the actual growth because of economic fluctuations and a declining percentage gain near the end of the planning period (Planning Period = present to the year 2000). The preferred alternative was one, which would use the 4.5 per cent annual growth rate to yield 128,200 people in Deschutes County by the year 2000. Section 23.16.020, Population. of the Comprehensive Plan includes the updated population forecast for 2000 to 2025. TABLE 1 DESCHUTES COUNTY POPULATION PROJECTIONS (1979) Recognizing the need for a single target population and in light of the Economic ACA's research and expertise the 4.5 per cent annual growth was chosen as the "best guess" option and the one to be used in the preparation of comprehensive plans in Deschutes County. Ultimately, this was to result in allocations of population to different parts of the County with the Bend Urban Area receiving 84,000, the Redmond Urban Area obtaining 23,093, the Sisters Urban Area having 2,135, and the remainder of the County getting 18,972. Once the population figure was chosen, it was possible to determine housing needs to the year 2000 by making some assumptions about household size and rehabilitation.

Several different alternatives were directly and indirectly discussed by members of the OCAC. Underlying all of the alternatives were a number of basic assumptions: 1. LCDC will require some protection and coordination. 2. Energy will become increasingly expensive and relatively more scarce. 3. Much of the area's growth is tied to amenities. 4. Federal agencies will continue to use their lands for multiple public uses. C. Alternative One - Current Trends. 1. Land Uses: Continue with the present trends without modification of the dispersed housing pattern that was developing in Deschutes County. Anticipate that most people would live in the urban areas but that many would choose to scatter throughout rural areas. Recognize that much of the agricultural and forest lands of the County would be lost or replaced by hobby farms. And expect a less than stringent enforcement of regulations to protect unique historic and environmental areas. Environmental: Anticipate the loss of additional scenic and natural amenities. Recognize that the deer winter ranges would almost certainly be developed and the wildlife lost. And prepare for increasing problems with air and water quality. 2. Social and Economic: Continue the strong economic growth of the area, particularly in the service, trade and construction industries. Expect more cultural amenities. Anticipate increasing social problems such as crime. 3. Public Services and Facilities: Expect to see an expanding road system and a growing demand for other public services. Recognize that these services will continue to lag behind demand and taxes are rising rapidly to provide the necessary services. Other: While there will be some improvement in land use controls and increasing cities and County cooperation there is likely to be continued State review and occasional intervention. Ultimately, population increase is expected to decline as the environmental amenities of the area decline. D. Alternative Two — Unrestricted Development. 1. Land Uses: Greater amount of urban sprawl from all growth centers; in addition rural sprawl also occurs in the vicinity of the Rural Service Centers as they rapidly develop. Some .protection is given the most dramatic and publicly supported historic and environmental sites. Agriculture ceases to exit as pollution problems in parts of the County ultimately requiring some areas to be mandated to install expensive sewer and water facilities. The growing development on private lands interspersed within the public lands severely reduce the beauty and usefulness of the public lands. 2. Social and Economic: Continued high employment, particularly in construction, for the next 10 to 15 years with the development ultimately resulting in a loss of amenities which sharply reduce unemployment in the non -manufacturing industries. Cultural amenities increase in conjunction with the population, but there are serious social dislocations resulting from the inequitable tax burdens created by the growth and loss of esthetics. PAGE 2 OF 4 — EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT `B" 3. Public Facilities and Services: Serious problems with providing adequate services, resulting in higher taxes and public dissatisfaction. Recreation demands continue to grow and demand expands rapidly as the formerly available outdoor areas become lost to development. Finally an expensive mass transit system must be constructed to bring people into the urban centers as the gasoline prices continue to climb. Other: Energy costs locally continue to increase finally leading some people to begin leaving. There is little effective coordination or local authority to control unnecessary subdivision and construction. Increasingly, the State intercedes in Deschutes County to assure State interests and people's lives and safety are protected. E. Alternative Three — Strict Growth Controls. 1. Land Uses: No further residential, commercial or industrial construction is permitted in rural areas and ultimately the rural population begins to decline. Urban areas grow rapidly but the restrictiveness of the regulations result in a slower growth rate. Historic and environmental sites receive strict protection. Increasingly, apartments and higher densities are common. 2. Social and Economic: Housing and land costs rise rapidly because of the relative shortage of .. buildable land. Lower` and middle-income families find themselves effectively excluded from the community. Cultural amenities rise. Employment suffers to some extent and much of the higher paying construction jobs are replace by lower paying service employment. This situation leads to considerable social and economic dissatisfaction. 3. Public Facilities and Services: Few new roads are constructed and an emphasis on alternative transportation methods provides effective local people and freight movement. Public facilities, such as sewer and water, catch up and keep pace but may be somewhat more expensive than otherwise due to the reduced tax base. 4. Environmental: Pollution levels rise only slightly and the natural amenities are protected. Public lands receive heavy use but are protected from the more serious effects of development. 5. Other: Energy costs are down. There is considerable upheaval over government regulations, such as zoning and environmental controls, as well as mandated local government coordination. F. Alternative Four — Chosen Alternative. After considering the various alternatives available, the citizens chose a compromise between current trends and strict growth control, the emphasis to be on restricting sprawl and protecting resources while accommodating the new population in adequately large urban boundaries and Rural Service Centers. 1. Land Uses: Major growth occurs in urban areas as the County continues its shift from a rural to urban area. Rural development is largely restricted to rural service centers and on existing rural lots. An active housing program seeks to offset the costs created by the regulations. Some hobby farming occurs and the existing agriculture and forest areas are protected. 2. Social and Economic: Taxes increase but not so rapidly as in the other alternatives because a more efficient growth pattern exists as does a growing tax base. Jobs continue to increase with some shift from construction to services, and growth in manufacturing, but not as rapidly as the commercial sector. Cultural amenities continue to increase. 3. Public Facilities and Services: Few new roads are constructed and a greater emphasis on transit alternatives reduces automobile use. Energy costs rise but within the capabilities of the area's residents. Most public facilities catch up with the growth and provide adequate services. 4. Environmental: Wildlife and vegetative areas particularly vulnerable to damage are protected from excessive development. Pollution increases are small. Public lands continue to be adequate to meet the demand. There is some loss of visual amenities but it is minimal. 5. Other: Continuing controversy over how much control to use but general acceptance of local ordinances and little State intervention. Coordination is mandated and controls are strict but oriented to achieving a specified result rather than being a routine and/or arbitrary mechanism. PAGE 3 OF 4 — EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT `B" The process by which the final alternative was chosen was not a smooth one. Many meetings were required and the alternatives are certainly more clearly identified here than was true during their discussion by the committees. Yet, as the process continued, it became increasingly clear that the people wanted to see growth guided but not stopped, except where development was proceeding too rapidly and needed to be slowed, or where important natural or cultural resources needed to be protected. They were convinced that the inefficient sprawled pattern of development must be curtailed in a way to restrict additional subdivision while permitting existing development to be utilized. To do that, the philosophy of Alternative Four was used to develop the goals and policies that are contained within this plan. (Ord. 2004-012 § 2, 2004; Ord. 2002-005 § 1, 2002; Ord. 2000-017 § 1, 2000; PL -20, 1979) PAGE 4 OF 4 — EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT "C" 23.24.010. Rural development. The primary duty of this comprehensive plan is to guide growth and development in the rural areas of Deschutes County. The Urbanization chapter discusses urban area growth, but the primary plans for the County's major communities are the three urban area plans. The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan is focused upon the changes that will be taking place outside the urban growth boundaries. This chapter is meant to tie together the various more specific chapters that deal with resource and growth management so that an integrated plan for the development of the County may be obtained. Being the fastest growing County in Oregon has meant many changes for Deschutes County. Some of the changes, such as improved social, cultural and economic opportunities, are seen as beneficial. Others, such as traffic congestion, loss of scenic views, and rising taxes to pay for public services, are changes most people would like to do without. The public process for developing the Deschutes County Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan (1979) occurred during a time of rapid population growth in the County. The County's population wasrg_o«-ing at around 6.3 percent a year. The population of unincorporated Deschutes County was estimated at 49,700. Population growth was expected to occur at a rate of 4.5 percent per year through the year 2000. In 1979, the County population forecast for the year 2000 was 128 200. The 2000 Census count for the County's population was 115,367, with 48.898 people residirnl, in unincorporated areas of the County. By 2003, the County's estimated population was 130,500. If population growth occurs as forecasted, 34.631 new residents will reside in rural areas by 2025. population e4)esehutes Count; ' , is P�imated at 49,700.

That does not pr-eelude the possibility of ee�_ain ffefis g Much of the development that has occurred locally has been the standard parcelization of land into small (less than 10 acres) lots. This dispersed pattern is often the most costly to serve; the most wasteful of energy, land and resources; the least esthetic; and the most destructive to rural character. Planned Developments, such as Indian Ford Planned Development, often provide a more efficient and beneficial manner in which to serve the public demand for rural recreational or residential experience. Destination resorts, such as Black Butte Ranch and dude ranches, have been found locally to be economically and socially desirable land uses, when located and developed consistent with the capabilities of the land and the abilities of various public and private agencies to serve that area. Recreational subdivision was originally seen as a benefit to the County as the non-resident landowners would be contributing to the County tax base. This probably resulted in areas like La Pine subsidizing other portions of the County. Now the recreation subdivisions are filling up with retirees and younger people seeking less expensive building lots. The result is a call for more services in areas far from existing service facilities and in subdivisions where roads and other improvements were meant only for seasonal and limited use. As demand continues to grow, to provide adequate service levels it will be necessary for other areas to PAGE 1 of 2 — EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT "C" subsidize the recreational areas for many years. Studies by Oregon State University indicate that Deschutes County is likely faced with such a situation presently. The County has witnessed losses of agricultural, forest and other resource lands, as well as seen the expense and esthetic losses created by urban sprawl. Studies such as "The Costs of Sprawl" have emphasized the greater efficiencies that can be obtained by a more condensed and planned development pattern. When these factors were combined with State requirements to contain development in urban areas, there was no question to the Overall CAC that the updated comprehensive plan would have to address the issue of containing urban sprawl and protecting the rural character of the County. The predominant rural land uses in the County are open spaces, pasture and limited crop production, livestock production, natural resource utilization and wildlife cover. There is also residential use and some commercial and industrial activity in the rural service centers. Unfortunately, the unrestrictive zoning permitted in the rural service centers has allowed incompatible adjacent land uses and not resulted in providing the needed services for the surrounding rural areas. In the case of Deschutes Junction this result is combined with another factor in that Bend's urban sprawl is augmented by development at the junction. Interestingly, the residents of the rural service centers, except for La Pine, have expressed concern that higher levels of development in their locales would be incompatible with the existing rural nature of the area. They agree that there is a need for limited and controlled growth, but that the rural character of the community must be maintained. To guide development into appropriate patterns the following goals have been prepared. (Ord. 2004-012 § 3, 2004; Ord. 2002-005 § 1, 2002; Ord. 2000-017 § 1, 2000; Ord. 92-051, 1992; PL -20, 1979) PAGE 2 of 2 — EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT "D" 23.48.010. Urbanization. A major emphasis in Oregon's land use planning is locating the majority of new development in urban areas. The rural areas are primarily to be protected for natural resource utilization. Between the urban areas (incorporated cities) and the rural areas lies what is referred to as the urbanizing area. Usually under the jurisdiction of the County, this is the area where the future population will be located and where the city's services must be extended. In Deschutes County the three incorporated cities have been given the authority, by the County, to prepare plans for their respective urban areas. These plans are coordinated with the County's planning effort and will eventually be adopted as part of the County's comprehensive plan. In addition to a plan each city also prepares an urban area zoning ordinance and a cooperative agreement for mutually administering the urbanizing area. All three incorporated cities wererig at rapid rates by the time the Deschutes County Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1979. At that time the County estimated Bend's urban area contained a population of 33,000 people Redmond's was approximately 7,500, and Sisters' approximately 900 All of the cities were expected to continue their growth to the year 2000 The 2000 Census results for Bend Redmond, and Sisters were 52,029, 13,481, and 959 res ectively In 2000 58 percent of the County's population lived in urban areas. By the year 2025 the County's population is forecasted to reach 240,811 people. This forecast includes 109 389 people in Bend 45,724 people in Redmond and 3,747 people in Sisters. If population growth occurs as forecasted 66 percent of the County's population will reside in urban areas by 2025.

Such growth will undoubtedly create severe problems for the provision of public services and adequate amounts of residential, commercial and industrial lands. Other problems are the protection of important aesthetic values, needed improvements in appearance and function of existing developments, safety and aesthetic problems, as well as energy and service costs, created by strip development; and problems with coordination and cooperation between the various agencies serving the public in urban areas, a problem which already exists. Some opportunities also exist. Cities in Deschutes County are located in one of the most beautiful and livable environments in the State. All of the communities have within their authority the power to guide their community's growth for the public's benefit. Cooperation and mutual effort between the cities, special districts and the County could mean urban environments that not only function efficiently but are attractive and desirable places to live. The purposes of DCC 23.48 are to provide the link between the urban and rural areas, and to provide some basic parameters within which the urban areas of Deschutes County shall develop, although the specific urban area plan for each community shall be the prevailing document for guiding growth in its respective area. These policies will permit the County to review each urban area plan against common criteria and assure consistency County -wide.

It presents a summary of population data that describes changes in the population of the County and the three cities from 1980 to 2002. The report also compares the above forecast with a draft population forecast for Deschutes County prepared by the State of Oregon Office of Economic Analysis in January of 2003. Deschutes County and each city decided to update the coordinated population forecast because the results of the 2000 Census and subsequent population estimates from Portland State University and the Census Bureau showed the County's population growing faster than anticipated under a 1998 coordinated population forecast. Each jurisdiction prepared its own population forecast. The sum of the four forecasts is the coordinated population forecast for the entire County. The city of Bend used historic growth rates (1980 to 1998) and annualized population growth rates developed by the State of Oregon Office of Economic Analysis to develop its forecast. Bend estimates a population of 109,389 residing in the city's urban growth boundary (UGB) by the year 2025. The city of Redmond forecasted population growth using an average annual increase of population based on past population growth trends. Redmond forecasts a population of 45,724 people in its UGB by the year 2025. The city of Sisters forecasted population within its urban growth boundary using a combination of OEA growth rates and projected building permit activity. Sisters estimates that a population of 3,747 people will reside in its UGB by the year 2025. The County considered three alternative forecasts for the unincorporated area. The selected forecast is based upon the historic 2.2 percent average annual growth rate to forecast population growth from 2003 through 2025. By the year 2025, the County estimates 81,951 people could reside in the unincorporated areas of Deschutes County.

[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 state and each County. Oregon state planning law (ORS 197.295 —197.296) requires cities to plan for needed housing to accommodate population growth in urban growth boundaries. ORS 197.712 also requires cities to ensure that sufficient land is available in urban growth boundaries for commercial development and economic growth. The goal of this project is to develop a coordinated population forecast from the year 2000 to the year 2025. The city and County staff working on this project used draft forecasts (2002 and 2003) from OEA as benchmarks for evaluating the proposed forecast. There is no requirement in state law or administrative rule that the OEA forecast must be adopted and used by the County and cities. As an alternative to the OEA forecast, the jurisdictions (County and cities) can develop, justify, and come to a consensus on a population forecast to the Department of Land Conservation and Development. An adequate factual base must support such a 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 2020.2 Table 1 shows the 1997 OEA forecast for the total County population through 2025.

Table 2 presents the first County coordinated population forecast adopted by the Board of Commissioners in 1998. This same table appears in the County Comprehensive Plan as Table A of Chapter 23.16, Existing Conditions, of the plan. ' 1995 House Bill 2709 2 These 1997 coordinated population numbers were adopted by the County through Ordinance 98-084 and incorporated into the County Comprehensive Plan. The City of Bend included the coordinated population numbers in its 1998 update to the Bend Area General Plan. Redmond adopted the forecast numbers into the 2001 update of the Redmond Comprehensive Plan.

In 1993, the Population Research Center (PRC) at Portland State University forecasted a population of 106,671 for the Deschutes County in 2000. By late 2000 the local planning staffs were aware that the actual population numbers for the County were exceeding the 1993 PRC forecast, the 1997 OEA forecast, and the County forecast prepared just two years earlier. The results of the 2000 Census, released in March of 2001, showed Deschutes County had a population of 115,367 people on April 1, 20003. This census exceeded the OEA forecast for 2000 of 112,846 by 2,521 people or 2.2 percent. The PRC developed a July 1, 2000 population estimate of 116,600 for Deschutes County in the fall of 2000. In the fall of 2001, the PRC developed a July 1, 2001 population estimate of 122,050 for Deschutes County. It was evident after the release of the 2000 Census data and the subsequent estimates of population for the County that population -growth was occurring faster than contemplated under the previous forecasts of the PRC OEA and the County The following graph compares the previous forecasts with the results of the 2000 Census for Deschutes County.

The population of the County grew dramatically since 1980, and due mostly to positive net migration. The population of a given area grows if it experiences more live births that deaths (natural increase)4 and more people moving in that moving out (positive net migration )5 of an area. The following data from the PRC shows the components of population change for the County since 1980: Table 3 Deschutes County Po ulation Growth: 1980-20036 Time Period Chane Natural Increase Net Migration 1980 to 1989 8,458 4,465 3,993 Percent +53% +47% 1990 to 1999 31,742 4,341 27,401 Percent +14% +86% 2000 to 2003 15,133 1,744 13,359 Percent +12% +88% Total 1980-2003 54,501 10,406 43,695 Percent +19% +81% From 1980 to 1989, 53 percent of the change in the County's population was due to natural increase: the population grew as a result of the number of live births exceeding the number of deaths. Positive net migration contributed forty-seven (47) percent of the new population of the County during this same period. This trend changes in the 1990s as the population of the County has grown more by net migration. From 1990 to 1999, eighty-six (86%) percent of the increase in the County's entire population occurred due to positive net migration. The County experienced a substantial increase in its population during the 1990s. According to data from the PRC, Deschutes County had the highest percent change in population of all the Oregon counties — almost 54 percent — between the 1990 Census and 2000 Census. In real numbers, the County had the fifth largest population increase, trailing only the three Portland metropolitan counties and Marion County. This increase in population was fueled by population growth in all three cities and the unincorporated portions of the County. The following graph shows the population growth of the population of each jurisdiction starting from 1960: 4 Natural Increase: The surplus of births over deaths in a population in a given time period.

POPULATION DATA SOURCES AND FORECASTING METHODS Several agencies or departments of the federal government and the State of Oregon collect and publish demographic and population data. This section discusses the sources of demographic and population data used to prepare the respective city and County population forecasts. This discussion includes a presentation of two methods of forecasting population that were used in developing the coordinated forecast. Data Sources The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) enumerates the population of each state, city, and County on April 1 of each year ending in zero7. The most recent Census was taken on April 1, 2000. The Census Bureau also prepares and releases estimates of the population of counties and cities'in the United States as of July 1 of a given year8. Table 5 shows the Census results for 1980, 1990, and 2000 and the July 1 estimates for the years 2000, 2001, and 2002. The Population Research Center (PRC) of the School of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State University has been charged with estimating the annual population of the State of Oregon and each County and incorporated city as of July 19. Table 5 also shows the PRC estimates for the County and each city from 1980 to 2002. The PRC releases preliminary estimates on November 15 of the estimate year.

Once complete, the estimates are then forwarded to the Secretary of State's office for certification. The State of Oregon Office of Economic Analvsis (OEA) collects and analyses state and County -level demographic and economic data10. The OEA is the official forecasting arm of the state and has prepared both population and employment forecasts for the state and all 36 counties. The County worked with OEA in 1997 and 1998 to develop the initial coordinated population forecast for the County. OEA provided the County and the cities with a draft forecast of the population of the state and all 36 counties beginning in 2000 to the year 2040. The OEA was originally scheduled to generate new population and employment numbers in March of 2002, but did not release draft forecast numbers for the counties until February 2003.11 Sources: Census = Represents April 1 census count for the County (www. census.gov) Cen Est = Represents July 1 population estimate (www.census.gov) PRC = July 1 certified estimates of Population Research Center, Portland State University (www.upa.pdx.edu/CPRC) OEA 97 =1997 County population forecast, Oregon Office of Economic Analysis (www.oea.das.state.or.us) 10 Office of Economic Analysis—www.oea.das.state.or.us. 11 The County coordinating group released its forecast for public hearings in November 2002, before the release of the OEA draft forecast in February 2003. A comparison of the two population forecasts is discussed in this report. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT __e___ PAGE /L EXHIBIT E August 2004 Forecastina Methods This forecast is based on state and local forecasts using two established methods of forecasting population. The References section of this report includes citations to texts that describe in more detail these methods and how they can be used to forecast population. Cohort -Component Model — natural increase + migration patterns = total. This is the method that the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis used in its statewide 2003 draft forecast12. This method looks at the age/sex groupings of the existing population and future aging patterns to estimate birth and death rates in order to calculate the "natural change" in population. The natural change component is especially useful for areas with a stable population (like many Eastern Oregon cities and counties) or a city with a large retirement population (like Florence, Oregon for example). However, this component by itself is less accurate when a large share of the forecast increase is due to people moving into the areas. For example, if an area has a high percentage of growth due to in -migration the in -migration numbers can "swamp" the natural increase numbers and make them less important. Because migration can be a significant part of the growth calculation this method usually considers both the natural increase and migration patterns to generate the total population change. However, as the OEA states in its draft 2003 long-term forecast, "Migration is the most complex and most volatile component of population change."13 The migration component cannot be easily predicted because the reasons people choose to move from one area to another are based on a variety of individual and family decisions including personal choice, economics, quality of life changes, quality of education, safety, political climate and others factors. Linear or Trending Model — growth rates and patterns are the basis for future growth. In this method various trends in population changes are evaluated as a basis for future growth. Trend data could include annual population changes by percent or number, school enrollment, housing starts, and utility service connections. A longer trend period is better because it can reflect the impact of changes in demographics, economic conditions and other factors in the population growth or decline. The trend data does not automatically lead to a continuation of past trends and can be adjusted with other data that reflect expected changes over time. All three cities and the County used a linear or trending model to forecast their respective populations from 2000 to 2025. This is a simple forecasting method. A benefit of using this method is that many of the factors that affect the pattern of growth are already imbedded in the trend data. In other words, since this method uses the real numbers for historic change it already includes the aggregate result of various growth components such as natural increase from births and deaths, net migration, employment levels, and local and national economic conditions. For example, an average annual growth rate of 1 percent can reflect a rate of change from one time period to the next and reflect population growth due to natural increase and net migration. This forecast method can be used with assumptions regarding physical and/or political constraints that will control the amount of growth. Physical constraints can include, for example, a limited supply of land for future homes or infrastructure capacity issues. Political constraints t2 Page 2 of "Long Term Population Forecast for Oregon and its Counties, 2000-2040 (Draft), Office of Economic Analysis, January 2003 13 "Long -Term Population Forecast for Oregon and Its Counties, 2000-2040 (Draft)", Office of Economic Analysis, January 2003, first page. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE _L7_ EXHIBIT E August 2004 can include state planning laws, local policies, zoning limitations or other conditions that constrain or control the level of growth. The physical or political constraints (or a combination of both) can be used to form or adjust the basis for calculating the potential population changes. Examples of political stimuli include efforts such as local or state governments' tax incentives to support job creation, active employer recruitment, low impact fees, choosing to locate offices or facilities in an area, and tourism campaigns. In addition, trending of population over time can also be based upon the amount of land or homes available for future growth. This information can be calculated and used to generate dwelling units available for growth over a period of time. The dwelling unit numbers can then be converted to a population number based on estimated persons per household, per housing unit, vacancy rates, and other factors. Physical conditions can also be incorporated into the assumptions that affect trend or linear forecasts. Examples of such conditions include surplus of land for development and new or expanded public facilities. Forecasting for Small Areas The City of Redmond hired ECONorthwest, an economic and planning consulting firm, to evaluate the city's proposed population forecast. This assessment supported the use of linear or trending models for forecasting population. ECONorthwest provided the following background on the risks associated with forecasting population for small areas14: ""Projections for population in most cities and counties are not based on deterministic models of growth, they are simple projections of past growth rates into the future. They have no quantitative connection to the underlying factors that explain why and how much growth will occur. Even if planners had a sophisticated model that links all these important variables together (which they do not), they would still face the problem of having to forecast the future of the variables that they are using to forecast growth (in, say, population or employment). In the final analysis, all forecasting requires making assumptions about the future. Comparisons of past population projections to subsequent population counts have revealed that even much more sophisticated methods than the ones used in the study "are often inaccurate even for relatively large populations and for short periods of time. "15 The smaller the area and the longer the period of time covered, the worse the results for any statistical method. Small areas start from a small base. A new subdivision of 200 homes inside the Portland Urban Growth Boundary has an effect on total population of 0.02%. That same subdivision in Redmond would increase the community's housing stock by more than 3.5%—and population by a similar percentage. Especially for small cities in areas that can have high growth potential (e.g., because they are near to concentrations of demand in neighboring metropolitan areas, or because they have high amenity value for recreation or retirement), there is ample evidence of very high growth rates in short-term; there are also cases (fewer) of high growth rates sustained over 10 to 30 years. Public policy makes a difference. Cities can affect the rate of growth through infrastructure, land supply, incentives and other policies. Such policies generally do not have an impact on growth rates in a region, but may cause shifts of population and employment among cities." 14 March 15, 2004 memorandum to Chuck McGraw, City of Redmond, from Bob Parker and Terry Moore, ECONorthwest 15Murdock, Steve H., et. al. 1991.

The County is required to establish and maintain a population forecast for the entire area within its boundary for use in maintaining and updating comprehensive plans. The County is also required to coordinate the forecast with the local governments within its boundary. The statute does not require cities and counties to use specific methods of forecasting population 16. There is also no statutory requirement that the cities use the same method as the County or vice versa. In addition, the statute does not require or give deference to the population forecast prepared by an agency of the state (e.g. OEA) or the federal government. Each city has prepared its own population forecast and the County has relied on each jurisdiction to use accepted methods of forecasting population. The County also assumes each forecast is supportable on its own. The process for developing a new coordinated population forecast involved city and County planning and legal staff meeting and evaluating progress on jurisdictional forecasts over several months. In the fall of 2001, the County Community Development Department (CDD) received a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to coordinate a local population forecast in anticipation of the March 2002 OEA draft population forecasts for the state and the counties. This effort undertaken by the County involved ten meetings over 24 months among staff of all four jurisdictions in the County and the two DLCD regional field representatives. The County and city planning staff agreed that a new forecast was needed and set 2025 year as the ending date for this coordinated forecast. 17 Issues discussed during the coordination meetings included: • Data sources including County GIS records • Comparison of OEA forecast numbers to actual population numbers • Historic growth rates (e.g. 10 -year; 20 -year) for each jurisdiction • Growth of urban areas relative to non -urban areas of the County • Demographic patterns • Limitations and incentives affecting growth • Various methods to forecast population change • Documenting assumptions and establishing a factual base The sum total of the four (cities and County) forecasts were also compared against a 2002 draft forecast of Deschutes County from OEA. The cities and County staff developed a consensus draft in September of 2002 that became the subject of public hearings before the Deschutes County Planning Commission in December of 2002. The Board of County Commissioners held its first public hearing on the forecast in January 2003. Subsequent hearings were also held in February and in March 2003 to compare the forecast with a second draft forecast of the County's population from OEA (January 2003) and to address issues raised at the three public hearings. The March 26, 2003 decision of the Board adopting the 2003 coordinated forecast was appealed to the Land Use Board of Appeals in April 2003. After receipt of the petitioner's brief in July 2003, and review of the issues raised in the appeal, the Board of Commissioners repealed the forecast and directed County planning 16 The Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) governing land use planning also do not require cities and counties to use a specific method of forecasting or a forecast produced by a state or federal agency. 17 Redmond is currently conducting an urban reserve study and will independently forecast its population growth out an additional 25 years to 2050.

The city and County staffs reconvened and met frequently during 2003 and 2004 to address the issues raised in the brief and prepare a defensible forecast.

The OEA expects the rate of growth in Deschutes County in the next few years to be significantly less than the growth rates experienced in the 1990s, while the local forecast expects continued strong growth rates in the near term (2005 to 2010). Since the level of "natural increase" (births over deaths) is a small part of the total population increase the driving component of growth in either forecast is the amount of in -migration that will occur. The following table compares the draft OEA forecast for 2000 to 2005 with the annual population estimates of the County from the PRC. According to the annual estimates of the PRC, the County's population has grown an average of 3.8%, or approximately 4,633 persons, per year since July 1, 2000. The OEA 2004 forecast shows the County's population growing by an annual rate of 3.7%, which is now consistent with the recent PRC estimates. This data is supported by the Census Bureau estimates that show the County's population growing by an average of 3.6% per year.

EXHIBIT E August 2004 The OEA forecast predicts that the level of positive net migration that currently makes up almost ninety (90%) percent of the growth will continue and represent 94%of the growth by 2025.18 As noted earlier in this report, the rate of migration is the volatile part of the forecast and subject to different interpretations and estimates. The County's forecast is reasonable despite forecasting greater population growth over the 2000 to 2025 period than the OEA forecast. The population growth forecasted by the local coordinated forecast is not unprecedented.

The OEA forecast is strongly influenced by the recent recession and the sluggish national and statewide economy. Although, in general, the state economy has slowed, local economic data seem to show that the County's local housing and employment markets have not been affected in the same way. The number of building permits for new single family dwellings has increased fourteen (14%) percent over the last year's. In addition, data from the Oregon Employment Department (OED) suggests regional and County employment projections are positive. The OED projects a 15.2% increase in total nonfarm payroll employment from 2002 to 2012 for Region 1020. This region includes Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson counties, with approximately eighty (80%) percent of this region's workforce located in Deschutes County21. In addition, the OED reports that between November 2000 and the end of 2003, the job market in Central Oregon, including Deschutes County, was essentially flat22. OED includes Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson counties in Region 10 for data collection and dissemination purposes23. According to OED, the data on nonfarm employment in Region 10 has fluctuated between 62,000 to 68,000 since November of 2000. At the same time, the PRC data shows that the population of Region 10 has grown by 11 percent during this same period. The following table shows the growth in population in Region 10 between April 2000 and July 2003. During this period the population of Deschutes County grew 13 percent while the population of the State grew by four percent.

EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) e PAGE d— EXHIBIT E August 2004 JURISDICTION FORECAST FINDINGS Deschutes County contains four jurisdictions: The cities of Bend, Redmond and Sisters and Deschutes County. Each city prepared a population forecast for the area within their respective urban growth boundary. The County prepared a forecast for the unincorporated area outside of the Urban Growth Boundaries. Each section begins by presenting the jurisdiction's forecast for the 2000-2025 period. The forecast is followed by a discussion of the methods used for the forecast. Each section concludes with factual data supporting the jurisdiction's forecast. The jurisdictions coordinated their forecasts and the aggregated forecast is the County wide forecast shown in Table 5. Common Assumptions The respective forecasts for all three cities share common assumptions about anticipated population growth and infrastructure. All three cites assume that during the forecast period (2000 to 2025) the city and/or other providers of infrastructure and public service will be able to serve growing populations. This assumptions covers infrastructure customarily provided by cities including roads, water and sewer service. In addition, the cities assume that each respective school district will be able to accept and teach new students that enroll in the districts. None of the cities are anticipating the capacities of infrastructure or public institutions such as schools acting as limitations on population growth during the forecast period. For consistency in using the annual estimates of the PRC and the Census Bureau, the jurisdictions decided to use the July 1, 2000 PRC estimate for each city's urban growth boundary (UGB) and the unincorporated County as the starting point. In Bend and Sisters the UGB and the City Limits are the same. City of Redmond has not annexed out to the UGB. The PRC estimate for the City of Redmond was modified to include the population within the city's UGB, but outside the city limits. The starting points, as of July 1, 2000, for each jurisdiction are as follows: City of Bend, 52,800; City of Redmond, 15,505; City of Sisters, 975, and; unincorporated Deschutes County, 47,320.

The County used the estimates prepared by the Census Bureau to forecast future growth because the Bureau's estimates, unlike those prepared by the PRC, are estimates of the unincorporated County population. The PRC recently informed the County through a December 11, 2003 letter that the PRC prepares estimates for the city populations but does not prepare an estimate for the unincorporated areas of the County. The PRC uses a ratio -correlation method, to estimate the population of counties as a whole. Then PRC uses a housing unit method for estimating the city population. The population number for the unincorporated area is the residual calculated by subtracting the city estimates from the whole County estimate. In contrast, the Census Bureau prepares sub -County area estimates, including those areas of counties that are unincorporated, or what the Census Bureau defines as "balance of County24." The Census Bureau develops sub -County estimates using the "Distributive Housing Unit Method". This method uses building permits, mobile home shipments, and estimates of housing unit loss to update housing unit change since the last census. Census counts of housing units are updated each year through the Bureau's Geographic Update System to Support Intercensal Estimates (GUSSIE). To find the average annual growth rate (AAGR) of the population of the unincorporated County over the time period of 1980 through 2002, the County used both the reported Census counts and PRC estimates shown in Table 13. The average annual growth rate (annualized) from 1980 to 2002 was 1.4 percent per year25. This period of 22 years includes times of population decrease because of a recession (1980 to 1989) and a period of constant growth (e.g. 1994 to 1998). The County had originally used this rate of annual growth to project population in the October 30, 2003. The County realized that this growth rate might be skewed due the city of Bend's annexation of the population in the unincorporated areas of its UGB in 1999. Bend annexed approximately 13,000 people effective July 1, 1999. This annexed population was counted in previous estimates of the unincorporated County population. To correct the problem of this large decrease in population from skewing the calculation, the County eliminated the year 1999 from the calculation of the average annual growth rate. Instead, the average annual growth rates for the unincorporated County were calculated for the 24 The Census Bureau describes its method for sub -County area estimates through this website: htta://eire.census.aov/aooest/tor)ics/methodology/citvmeth ohs. `The average annual growth rate (annualized) was calculated by dividing the end PRC population (51,126) by the beginning population (37,731), finding the "nth" root of this number, where n = 22 years, subtracting one, and then multiplying by 100 to convert to a percent. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE 21- EXHIBIT E August 2004 periods of 1980 to 1998 and 2000 to 2002. From 1980 to 1998, the population of the unincorporated County grew at an average annual rate of 2.5%. From 2000 to 2002, the population of the unincorporated County grew at an average annual rate of 2.2%. 3. Factual Base Table 14 shows three possible forecasts for the population of the unincorporated County from 2000 to 2025. The year 2000 starting population is based on the July 1, 2000 PRC estimate of population for the unincorporated County minus the portion of this population residing in the city of Redmond urban growth boundary26. For the years 2001 and 2002, the table shows the Census Bureau estimates of unincorporated Deschutes County for July 1 of these years. From 2003 to 2025, each forecast uses different growth rates to forecast population. The first forecast (2.2% Forecast) relies on a constant average annual growth rate of 2.2 percent. The second forecast (OEA Rates) uses the population growth rates (annualized) calculated by OEA for the entire County'. The third forecast (Bend method) uses a combination of past average annual growth rates and those developed by OEA (See description of Bend method).

The 2.2% forecast uses an average annual growth rate that is lower, but within two-tenths of a percentage of the annual growth rate of 2.4% derived from the OEA forecast. OEA calculated the population growth rates (annualized) for every five year period in its forecast (See Table 9). The OEA's average annual growth rate for the entire County from 2000 (116,600) to 2025 (209,919) is 2.4%. The Bend method uses higher annual growth rates in the short term and transitions to using OEA's annual growth rates from 2010 to 2025. The County finds that using the historic 2.2% AAGR for the forecast is reasonable because the time period calculating the historic rate is practically equivalent to the forecast period. This method uses the growth rate as a compounding rate throughout the entire forecast and the 2.2% AAGR is relatively close to the growth rates calculated by OEA for the forecast of the entire County. In addition, the regulatory and economic conditions that occurred in the past 23 years are likely reflective of those that could occur during the forecast period to 2025. The County assumes that the system of land use regulations of the past 23 years, which limit development in farm and forest zones and encourage development in cities, will remain in place for the planning horizon. Also the past 23 year period contained periods of rapid growth and recession. It is reasonable to expect that in the next 20 year period these economic conditions could also occur. The proposed unincorporated County forecast shows the unincorporated County growing at rates below those of the cities and of the County as a whole. For the purpose of determining if the unincorporated County could accommodate expected non -urban population growth, the County estimated the development potential for the unincorporated County. The only purpose of estimating the development potential was to determine whether, under existing land use regulations, more of the forecast population growth would have to be accommodated within the city UGBs instead of in the unincorporated County. The estimate of a potential population was based on the current zoning and development standards in place and assumes that they will remain in effect. Changes in state law could increase or decrease the development potential for the unincorporated area. Appendix A to this report describes the process and the results of the development potential estimate analysis. Based on the assumptions of this estimate, the unincorporated County includes the potential for 44,898 dwellings, including an estimate of potential dwellings in a new destination resort and in forest zones. The County calculated the number of EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT-_?- PAGE 2..V EXHIBIT E August 2004 residential units in each zoning district, based on current minimum lot size standards and density limitations. The County translated this potential number of dwellings into population by multiplying the number of dwellings by 1.9 persons per housing unit, which was the number of persons per housing unit in unincorporated Deschutes County reported in the 2000 Census results (See Appendix A). This analysis yielded an estimated maximum population in the unincorporated areas of 85,306. Based on the development potential estimate, the population in the unincorporated County will not reach "build out' in the forecast period if the unincorporated population grows as forecasted (2.2%/year) and the state planning and land use laws are not changed. The forecast population for the unincorporated County in 2025 is 81,951 and the development potential estimate shows a potential for 85,306. Therefore, in coordinating County population forecast with the cities, the County was able to use an annual growth rate (2.2%) for the unincorporated County because the development potential estimate showed that for the forecast period the County would likely be able to accommodate that overall growth. The population of the unincorporated County has not grown as rapidly as the population of the urban areas and County planning staff does not anticipate this changing in the future for two reasons. First, the County cannot anticipate that land use regulations will be changed in such a way as to direct population growth to the unincorporated areas of the County. Second, there is no reason to anticipate demand for new housing outside the urban growth boundaries will fluctuate dramatically. Assuming a constant rate of population growth over the forecast horizon is also sufficient for planning in the unincorporated County. The County is not as concerned about short-term forecast numbers as the cities which are required to plan for housing, commercial and industrial land needs and the infrastructure to serve that development.

Method The City of Bend Planning staff used both the Linear or Trending Model and Cohort - Component Model in developing different parts of the Bend UGB forecast. The growth rate for the first couple of years of the forecast is based on Bend's historic growth rates from 1991 to 2003.28 The forecast period from 2004 to 2009 is based on the average growth rates for Bend since 1980, more than 20 years of data. These parts of the forecast follow the Linear or Trending Model. The forecast population levels for later years in the forecast, the period from 2010 to 2025, are based on the OEA forecast growth rates. The OEA forecast uses a Cohort - Component model. The data sources used in developing the Bend forecast are listed below. The following section titled Factual Base describes in more detail how each of these data sources were used in the forecast. • Portland State University's Population Research Center [PRC] "certified estimate" of Bend's population; • City population and annexation history [1970 — 2002]; • Mid-term [1991 — 2002] historic population change and growth rates for Bend; • Long-term [1980 — 20021 historic population change and growth rates for Bend; • The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis growth forecasts for Deschutes County (January 2003 draft report), and; • Final Office of Economic Analysis population forecasts for Deschutes County for 2000 to 2040 (April, 2004). Table 16 provides a summary of the different components of the Bend forecast by each year of the forecast. The starting point for the forecast is the July 1, 2000 "certified estimate" population number for Bend from the Portland State University Population Research Center. Although population and growth rates are provided in Table 16 for each year up to the year 2025, city staff recognizes that it is more useful to review the forecast numbers over a longer period, such as five years, to look for trends rather than to focus on the difference in any one year. It is the population at the five-year mark (2005, 2010, etc.) highlighted in Table 16 that makes up Bend's component of the Deschutes County Coordinated Forecast. 28 This growth rate excludes annexed population.

Factual Base As noted in Table 16, the population forecast for Bend is made up of four components. Although these components are from different sources, they each have a valid factual base and provide substantial evidence for the forecast. These four components, and Bend's historical population patterns, are described in the sections below. Forecast years 2000 — 2003 The population numbers in Table 16 for the years 2000 through 2003 are the Population Research Center certified estimates for Bend. The Population Research Center at Portland State University, acting on behalf of the State Board of Higher Education, is mandated by Oregon law to prepare annual population estimates for each County and city in the State.29 The corresponding annual growth percentage for these years are from the PRC certified estimates, so the first four years of the forecast period are actual population figures for Bend.so 29 See ORS 190.510 to 190.610; OAR 577-050 39 This information is available in several PRC papers. See for example Tables 4 and 7 of the PRC report "Population Growth in Oregon: 2000 to 2003" available on its Portland State University website www.upa.pdx.edu/CPRC. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE 27 EXHIBIT E August 2004 Forecast years 2004 — 2009 The factual base for the short term forecast period from 2004 — 2009 are historic growth rates for Bend. The average annual growth rate for Bend during the 1990s and current decade was used to forecast the population for the years 2004 and 2005. To forecast the population for the period for 2006 — 2009, the city staff used a longer term average growth rate. These parts of the forecast are explained following Table 17. The historic long-term change in Bend's population is provided below in Table 17. The information in Table 17 was compiled by City staff from various sources .31 This table also shows the number of people annexed into the City during the 1990s, the period when Bend was actively annexing all the land within the urban growth boundary into the city limits. The numbers in the "Annual Percent Change" column are calculated only on the "Net Natural and Migration Change"number. Persons who were annexed to Bend are not included in the annual percentage change figure for each year.

This pattern of consistent growth during the past decade and into the current decade provides a base of trend data on which to base Bend's growth for 2004 and 2005. However, a close look at the data shows growth rates at the beginning and end of the 13 year period that are significantly higher than the average. Because the first year of this period [1990 —1991] had an extra -ordinary growth rate of 8.23 percent, City staff decided to drop this year from the mid-range data set.32 In addition, the PRC certified population estimate for 2003 results in an 8.92% increase over the previous year. The PRC figure for 2003 is based on building permits issued in the previous 12 months for a record 2,200 net new dwelling units — a dwelling unit number that is about 1,000 more than the average of the previous three years.33 City staff felt that this annual growth rate should be similarly excluded from calculations used for the short term forecast. 32 Because the cycle for this "year" period is actually 15 -months from the April 1" Census to July 1, 1991, and because the growth rate for this year is substantially higher than the other years, staff felt it was reasonable to delete this year from the mid-term data set and recalculate the annual average growth rate using the years 1991- 2002. 33 The totals for 2000 — 2002 were 1008, 1396, and 1276 respectively. Anecdotal evidence suggests that in 2003 more permits than usual were "pulled" in December to avoid a Systems Development Charge (fee) increase, and that large apartment projects were started for investment reasons. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT C7 PAGE EXHIBIT E August 2004 Staff then used the 11 -year historic period of 1991 to 2002 as the basis for years 2004 — 2005 in the forecast, and calculated the annual average growth rate for 1991-2002 at 4.74 percent. This recalculated 4.74 percent annual growth rate was used to generate the forecast population for 2004 — 2005. As a cross -test of this level of growth the staff also reviewed short term natural increase and net migration data for Deschutes County from the PRC34. There is no separate data source for Bend but it is reasonable for the cross -test to assume in the forecast that the short term historic patterns and rates of population change for Deschutes County as a whole can be applied to Bend as well because most of the County's population increase has occurred in the cities. Although the statewide average rate of net migration (persons moving in vs. persons moving out) has declined during the past ten years, this is not the case for Deschutes County. During the period from April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2003 the statewide net migration rate was 55.7 percent of total population growth, but as noted in Table 3 earlier in this report, the net migration rate for Deschutes County was 88 percent of total growth during that period.35 Even more telling about this 2000 — 2003 level of in -migration increase in Deschutes County is the actual number of persons compared to the rest of the state. In this recent three- year period, the net migration number for Deschutes County (13,359) was higher than any other County in the state. In fact, during these three years, 20 Percent of the total net migration number for the whole state [13.359 out of 66,8457 is attributed to Deschutes Count 3" To put it another way, one out of every five persons that are counted as net migrants to Oregon during 2000-03 have moved into Deschutes County. The PRC 2000 — 2003 data on percentage growth rates and in -migrant numbers are higher than would be expected under the OEA forecast for the years 2000 — 2005. These higher PRC numbers provides additional support for the use of a 4.74 percent growth rate for years 2004 and 2005 of the forecast. For the period of 2006 to 2009 in the forecast, the Staff again used trend data, but from a longer period, that includes years of both economic boom and recession. As noted at the end of Table 17, the long-term (1980 — 2003) average annual growth rate for Bend is 3.76 percent. If the high growth rate for the year 2003 is removed, then the average annual growth rate drops to 3.52 percent. Staff feels that this adjusted growth rate of 3.52 percent represents a more accurate basis for long-term trend data for the 2006-09, taking into account periods of economic recession and economic boom. OEA acknowledged that rates of in -migration can be highly volatile, therefore, difficult to predict.37 For this reason, and in the absence of clear indicators that net migration rates will change significantly, staff finds it reasonable to apply historically documented growth rates to the 2003 — 2009 forecast years. Although the short term growth data for the County and City suggest that high growth rates (4.74%) should hold for the first years of the forecast, the staff took a more conservative approach using 3.52% for the next few years (2006 — 2009) consistent with the longer term historic growth rate. 34 Historic data on births, deaths, in -migration, and out -migration are recorded and compiled by state agencies at the County level. Although there are good data for Deschutes County as a whole, there are no separate historic counting of births, deaths, and migration levels for the cities in the County. 35 Data are from PRC report Population Growth in Oregon: 2000 to 2003, table 3. 36 Data are from PRC report Population Growth in Oregon: 2000 to 2003, table 3. 37 OEA Long -Term Population Forecast for Oregon and Its Counties, 2000 — 2040, [draft, January 2003], first page.

The OEA forecasts that the annual rate of growth for Deschutes County will decline significantly over time, although the reasons for the decline are not explained in the April 2004 final population forecast report. While the Bend staff believes that the data supports higher growth rates for Bend during the first ten years (2000 — 2010) than are forecast by OEA for the County, the staff is less confident that the growth rates will be this high over the longer period. Because of this, the City accepts and has used the OEA County -wide "annualized" growth rates for the period from 2010 to 2025 in the Bend forecast. 38 For more information see the first page of the OEA draft report titled Long -Term Population Forecast for Oregon and Its Counties, 2000-2040, (January 2003). 39 OEA 2004 final report titled Forecasts of Oregon's County Populations and Components of Change, 2000 — 2040.

Method ECONorthwest evaluated several different methods for the forecast including a compounding method, a ratio method, a decreasing rate method (similar to the one used by Bend), and a straight-line method. We selected the compounding methodology because it is (1) most consistent with Redmond's historic population growth trends, (2) it is a relatively simple approach that builds from historical data and assumptions about future City growth policies, and (3) it assumes that the increment of population growth (e.g., the rate of growth or annual percent change) will be constant. The compounding methodology also assumes that the number of persons added will increase each year. The rate selected is the rate that Redmond observed between 1980 and 2003 (4.42% annually). The City selected the compounding methodology because: It provides the best approximation of historical growth trends in Redmond; • The City has not identified any constraints to population growth; • It is a simple method that implicitly considers factors that have affected historical population growth; and • It is an accepted method for extrapolating population growth trends. In summary, the compounding approach provides a simple method for extrapolating historical trends to a future population figure. While it does ignore annual variations in population growth that have occurred in the past and will continue in the future, it is at least as justifiable—and perhaps more justifiable—than other assumptions about how population growth rates will vary in the future. Figure 4 graphically displays the differences between (1) actual population growth, (2) a compound growth trend, and (3) a straight-line growth trend based on the amount of growth in Redmond between 1980 and 2003. The graph shows that the compound methodology is a better (but not perfect) representation of the 23 -year growth trend in Redmond. Figure 4.

This rate is the same rate the City observed between 1980 and 2003. This rate represents the long-term growth trend in Redmond and includes annual population growth rates that range from –0.2% to 10.3%. While the City could have selected another time period to base its growth rate on, growth rates in more recent time periods are much higher. While annexations are included in this growth rate, they have little affect on the rate: annexations accounted for about 2% of total population growth between 1980 and 2002 (3% between 1994 and 2002—the period for which the City has records). In short, the affect of annexations on the average annual growth rate is less than 0.1 %. The Redmond population forecast uses a year 2000 base population of 15,505 persons—for the Redmond UGB. The base population represents the City's best estimate of how many people lived within the Redmond UGB in 2000. Annexations are implicitly factored into the City's forecast because it uses population in the UGB as the base for the projections. In other words, annexations will add population to the city limits, but not to the UGB—because people in the 'u' rbanizable area have already been counted and factored into the base population. Moreover, City annexation records show that the City annexed 228 persons between 1993 and 2002 (the City did not keep annexation records prior to 1993). Consistent with ORS 195.303, statewide planning Goal 14, and accepted planning principles, the Redmond population forecast is for the area within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). 3. Factual Base Data Sources Used for Forecasting the Redmond Population to Year 2025 Data sources used in developing the population forecast for the Redmond UGB area included: • U.S. Census and Portland State University Center for Population Research Annual Reports • City population and annexation history [1994 – 2003] • Mid-term [1990 – 2002] historic population change and growth rates for Redmond • Long-term [1980 – 2002] historic population change and growth rates for Redmond • The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis growth forecasts for Deschutes County (January 2003 Draft Report). • Comparative Housing Costs and Trends (Central Oregon Regional Housing Authority Needs Assessment Update, 2002). Each of these sources used in the forecast is described in more detail below. The following sections provide factual evidence in support of the City's coordinated population forecast. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE 3 EXHIBIT _E August 2004 Regional Population Trends Population growth in Oregon tends to follow economic cycles. Oregon's economy is generally more cyclical than the nation's, growing faster than the national economy during expansions and contracting more rapidly than the nation during recessions. This pattern is shown in Table 20, which presents data on population in the U.S., Oregon, and selected areas in Oregon over the 1970-2000 period. Table 20 shows Oregon grew more rapidly than the U.S. in the 1970s and 1990s (which were generally expansionary periods) but lagged behind the U.S. in the 1980s. Oregon's slow growth in the 1980s was primarily due to the nationwide recession early in the decade. Oregon's population growth regained momentum in 1987, growing at annual rates of 1.4%-2.9% between 1988 and 1996. The Willamette Valley received over 70% of the state's population growth during this period. Population growth for Oregon and its regions slowed in 1997, to 1.1 % statewide, the slowest rate since 1987. Net migration into Oregon, which is the largest component of population growth, dropped from 35,000 in 1996 to 18,000 in 1999. The reasons most often cited for this slowing of population growth are the recovery of the California economy, the combination of a high cost of living (especially housing) and low wages in Oregon, and a perceived decline in the quality of Oregon's schools. Redmond, Bend, and Deschutes County have grown faster than other areas in Table 20 throughout the 1980-2000 period. Deschutes County was the fastest growing county in Oregon between 1990 and 2000, growing at an average annual rate of 4.25% and adding 24,333 persons. Bend grew at an average annual rate of nearly 10% during the 1990s, in part because it annexed many developed areas within its UGB, while Redmond grew at an average annual rate of 6.5%. Deschutes County's share of Oregon's population has increased from 2.4% in 1980 to 3.4% in 2000. Redmond's share of Deschutes County's population has increased from 10.4% in 1980 to 11.4% in 2000. In summary, between 1980 and 2000, Deschutes County grew at a rate nearly 2.4 times faster than Oregon, while Redmond grew at a rate nearly four times as fast as Oregon.

Between 1990 and 1999, almost 70% of Oregon's total population growth was from net migration (in -migration minus out -migration), with the remaining 30% from natural increase (births minus deaths). Migrants to Oregon tend to have many characteristics in common with existing residents, with some differences—recent in -migrants to Oregon are, on average, younger and more educated, and are more likely to hold professional or managerial jobs, compared to Oregon's existing population. The race and ethnicity of in -migrants generally mirrors Oregon's established pattern, with one exception: Hispanics make up more than 7% of in -migrants but only 3% of the state's population. The number -one reason cited by in -migrants for coming to Oregon was family or friends, followed by quality of life and employment.41 Migration is a significant component of population growth in Deschutes County. Data in the County Report underscore this point: 81% of population growth in Deschutes County between 1980 and 2002 was from in -migration. In fact, the rate of in -migration increased in the 1990s, accounting for 86% of population growth. This figure increased to 89% for the 2000-2002 period. The U.S. Census collects data on migration patterns. Specifically, it asks households where there residence was in 1995 (5 years prior to the Census count). Table 21 shows place of residence in 1995 for Deschutes County and Redmond. The data show that population in both geographic areas is transitory. Only 41 % of individuals in Deschutes County lived in the same residence in 1995; the figure was only 31% in Redmond. About one-third of persons in both Deschutes County and Redmond lived in a different county in 1995; about 15% lived in a different state.

A corollary finding based on Table 21 is that Deschutes County's population is mobile—a majority of people lived in a different housing in 2000 than they did in 1995. All the evidence suggests that in -migration will continue to contribute the majority of population growth in Deschutes County and Redmond. Historically, quality of life factors have played a central role in attracting people to Deschutes County. The County has stunning scenery and ample outdoor recreation opportunities that are available in all seasons. Destination resorts such as Sunriver, Black Butte Ranch and Eagle Crest attract many tourists to the region. The Central Oregon OSU campus provides educational opportunities for individuals desiring to attend college. Moreover, as the region has grown, Bend has added many urban amenities such as the Mountain View Mall and the Les Schwab Amphitheater. Growth has helped revitalized Bend's downtown. Redmond is home to a regional airport and the new Deschutes County Fairground. Many of the urban amenities are relatively new and contribute to the region's quality of life. In summary, the combination of outdoor and urban amenities are likely to continue attracting people to Deschutes County. In fact, the presence of new urban amenities will probably attract some households that wouldn't have moved the region previously. The urban amenities, combined with the fact that cities in Deschutes County are still relatively small {Bend, the largest city had a 2003 population of 62,900) and have a small town feel provides a combination of factors that are extremely attractive to households. Advances in telecommunications make many households less bound to geography. In -migration will be the dominant cause of population growth in Deschutes County and its cities for years to come. That conclusion does not tell us how much growth these areas will get, but it does explain in part why forecasting is an uncertain business: birth and death rates are relatively stable over time and easy to predict; migration rates are much more variable. Redmond Population Trends The first step in developing the forecast for Redmond was to estimate the current UGB population. The forecast using a 15,505 population figure as a starting point for the 2000 to 2025 period which represents the population in the Redmond urban growth boundary on July 1, EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) PAGE 2-2-- EXHIBIT E August 2004 2000. The 15,505 figure was derived by taking the 2000 census data (13,770) for the city limits and added the population within the unincorporated area (1,446) to get a total of 15,216 (13,770 + 1,446 = 15,216). The 1,446 population within the unincorporated area was calculated by using the 2000 Census Block Group GIS data as provided by the US Census Bureau. All of the block group polygons that were within the Redmond city limits, then found the total population 13,481 (same as April 1, 2000 census) of all block groups within the city limits. In order to find the population of the Redmond UGB, all block group polygons that fell inside the UGB were selected to determine the 1, 446 population. Then the difference between the 2000 census count for Redmond 13,481 (on April 1, 2000) and the PRC population estimate of 13,770 (on July 1, 2000) was 289. These 289 people were added to the 15,216 to account for the population growth between the census taken on April 1 and PRC's estimate as of July 1 for a total estimate of 15,505 (15,216 + 289 = 15,505). Table 22 shows population estimates from the Population Research Center at Portland State University for the Redmond city limit for the period between 1980 and 2003. The data show that Redmond grew relatively slowly during the 1980s (averaging about 1.0 percent annually). Starting in 1990, the annual growth rates increase dramatically. Between 1990 and 2000, population in the Redmond city limit grew by 6,635 persons—averaging a 6.8% increase annually. That trend continued between 2000 and 2003.

The total increase in population from 1980 to 2002 was 250%. The average annual growth rate (AAGR) for the period 1980 to 1990 was 0.9%.

These historical growth rates provide context for developing a range of population projections. ECO calculated the rates using the compounding method. The data underscore several key points: • The start date has a big impact on the growth rate. This is because population growth spiked in 1990 and have sustained high rates since then. • The average annual growth rate (AAGR) is between 4.42% (1980-2003) and 8.21% (2000-2003) depending on the time period.

Socioeconomic trends provide a broader context for growth in a city; factors such as age, income, migration and other trends show how communities have grown and shape future growth. To provide context, we compare Redmond with Bend, Deschutes County and Oregon. Characteristics such as age, household composition, and race are indicators of how population has grown in the past and provide insight into factors that may affect future growth. Where relevant, Redmond is compared to Deschutes County. Figure 4 compares age in Deschutes County and Redmond for 2000. The data show that Redmond has a higher percentage of its population in all of the age classes under 39 except for 15-19 years. This suggests that Redmond is attracting younger households, many of whom have children. Redmond also has a slightly higher percentage of individuals aged 75 or older. Both of these trends are probably related to lower housing costs in Redmond compared to Bend. EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) FXHIRIT e _ PAGE EXHIBIT E August 2004 Figure 5.

Table 25 shows population by age for the City of Redmond for 1990 and 2000. The Census data show that Redmond grew by 6,537 persons between 1990 and 2000—a 94% increase. The age breakdown provides evidence of how Redmond grew. While Redmond experienced an increase in population for every age group, the fastest growing age groups were 5-17 years and 18-24 years. The under 5 and 45-64 years age groups also grew faster than the citywide average growth rate. The over 65 age group grew the slowest of any of the age groups shown in Table 3. A comparison of population increase by age between Redmond and Deschutes County shows that: • Redmond grew faster than Deschutes County. The population of Redmond increased 94% between 1990 and 2000 while Deschutes County experienced a 58% population increase. • Redmond had a higher percentage of growth in younger age groups. Population in Redmond grew at faster rates for all age groups under 45 years. Deschutes County experienced higher growth rates in the 45-64 year and over 65 year age groups than Redmond. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT C PAGE qz EXHIBIT E August 2004 The Census data suggest that Redmond is attracting younger individuals—including families with children. Consistent with that finding, Redmond has a slightly higher average household size (2.54 persons) than Deschutes County (2.5 persons). One hypothesis that potentially explains the age structure is that Redmond is getting more of the households that have the service jobs in Bend, and they are trading off lower housing costs against travel time and cost. While ECONorthwest did not have data to prove this conclusively, anecdotal evidence (e.g., discussions with City and County staff) also suggest this is the case. Table 25.

Summary of Findings The City of Redmond makes the following findings in support of its 2000-2025 population growth forecast. Redmond has experienced rapid population growth since 1990 • The total percentage increase in population from 1980 to 2002 was 250%. The average annual growth rate (AAGR) for the period 1980 to 1990 was 0.9%. The AAGR for the period 1990 to 2000 was 6.4%, and the average rate of growth from 1992 to 2002 was 7.4%. • Between 1980 and 2000, Deschutes County grew at a rate nearly 2.4 times faster than Oregon, while Redmond grew at a rate nearly four times as fast as Oregon. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT Q PAGE AX_ EXHIBIT E August 2004 • Population growth rates in Redmond increased in 1990 and have sustained high levels since then. However, long-term trends provide a more realistic base for future population forecasts due to factors that affect population growth: regional growth changes, demographic shifts, economic trends, and migration patterns. In -migration has accounted for the majority of recent growth and will continue to drive population increases in Redmond through 2025 Eighty-one percent of population growth in Deschutes County between 1980 and 2002 was from in -migration. In fact, the rate of in -migration increased in the 1990s, accounting for 86% of population growth. This figure increased to 88% for the 2000- 2003 period. Only 41 % of individuals in Deschutes County lived in the same residence in 1995; the figure was only 31 % in Redmond. About one-third of persons in both Deschutes County and Redmond lived in a different county in 1995; about 15% lived in a different state. The combination of outdoor and urban amenities are likely to continue attracting people to Deschutes County. In fact, the presence of new urban amenities will probably attract some households that wouldn't have moved the region previously. The urban amenities, combined with the fact that cities in Deschutes County are still relatively small (Bend, the largest city had a 2003 population was 62,900) and have a small town feel provides a combination of factors that are extremely attractive to households. Advances in telecommunications make many households less bound to geography. Redmond is attracting younger households, many of whom have children Redmond has a higher percentage of its population in all of the age classes under 39 except for 15-19 years. This suggests that. Redmond also has a slightly higher percentage of individuals aged 75 or older. Both of these trends are probably related to lower housing costs in Redmond compared to Bend. During the 1990s Redmond experienced changes in the age structure of its residents. While Redmond experienced an increase in population for every age group, the fastest growing age groups were 5-17 years and 18-24 years. The under 5 and 45-64 years age groups also grew faster than the citywide average growth rate. The over 65 age group grew the slowest of any of the age groups. Redmond has a slightly higher average household size (2.54 persons) than Deschutes County (2.5 persons). One potentially explanation of the age structure is that Redmond is getting more of the households that have the service jobs in Bend, and they are trading off lower housing costs against travel time and cost. Redmond is becoming more diverse • The number of Hispanics in Deschutes County increased by 182% between 1990 and 2000. At 5.5%, Redmond had the highest percentage of Hispanic population of any incorporated City in Deschutes County in 2000. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE.A EXHIBIT E August 2004 City of Sisters Forecast The official July 1, 2003 population estimated for the City of Sisters is 1,430 (Portland State University, PRC July 1, 2003 estimates). In Sisters, the Sisters City limits and Urban Growth Boundary are coincident, so this estimate and further estimates refer to the City and UGB. The City of Sisters (hereafter referred to as Sisters or City) population is forecast to remain small compared to the other jurisdictions, but will experience consistent growth over the long-term.. The City's population forecasting methodology, assumptions made, factual basis, and yearly population forecasts to the year 2025 are presented below. 1. Forecast Table The City of Sisters expects population growth as described in Table 29: Population Forecast in Five -Year Increments. Tables 29 and 30 are summary tables that provide a quick overview of the population forecasts for the Sisters UGB between 2000 and 2025. Additional information in the following pages fully explains the assumptions and factual basis for these forecasts. All relevant and referenced materials should be reviewed and understood in order to understand the forecasts to avoid unnecessary duplication of information.

In other words, the City of Sisters will become more like the state in terms of persons per household in the future. 5 Source: Calculated by adding the total of (Total Res. PerrnitsNr. in Sisters UGB x Persons Per Dwelling Unit) to previous year's Population Forecast. 2. Method The City of Sisters uses a housing unit method based on housing unit trends to estimate future population growth in Sisters. The following discussion in the Methodology portion of this report explains the general process and methods used to determine future population. The factual basis and assumptions for the forecasts are provided in the Factual Basis portion of this report. Overview of Methodology Used to Determine Population Forecasts EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e_ PAGE JYk - EXHIBIT E b August 2004 The City of Sisters' methodology for determining population is based on the current estimates of the City's population (from PRC) plus estimates of population growth based on the number of new residential building permits that will be issued in the city between 2004 and 2025. The housing unit method approximates population for the city based on the number of occupied housing units in the city multiplied by the city's average household size. Based on the number of building permits issued each year, and the number of people per household (considering vacancy rate and local demographics) it is possible to forecast how many people will be "added" to the City in the future. This technique is one of the most feasible, accurate, and cost-effective among the major methods of population estimation available for small geographies such as Sisters. Using the number of building permits coupled with other demographic information to estimate population is commonly used to estimate populations for small geographic areas. Different versions of the housing unit model are used by the US Census Bureau to estimate sub -County populations and by a wide variety of cities, counties, states and special districts. The official yearly estimates of the City's population determined by Portland State University's Center for Population Research and Census are based on a housing unit method. Overview of Factors Resulting in Forecast As discussed in greater detail later in the Factual Basis portion of the report, the City of Sisters has recently experienced a surge of residential building activity and population growth. The City assumes this surge will decrease back to levels of building activity and population growth experienced between 1990 and 2000. Assumptions The act of forecasting requires that assumptions be made. There is no single right "answer" or "equation" that will result in an infallible population forecast. Therefore, assumptions are an integral part of making a forecast and are discussed explicitly. As much as possible and feasible, factual information is provided to substantiate assumptions that are made to demonstrate that the resulting forecast is reasonable. Where factual information is lacking, assumptions are still discussed. Important in all discussions of assumptions is not if all assumptions are exactly right, but if they are reasonable, since nearly all assumptions could be varied slightly to change the entire forecast. 3. Factual Base The following discussion is a description of the reasoning, assumptions, factual information, and results of the population forecasting methodology. Step 1: Determining Appropriate Sources of Data Step 1(A): U.S. Census Data and Portland State University PRC Data The City relies upon data from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Censuses and Portland State University's PRC July 1 Official Population Estimates to estimate population in the City. For census years (1990, 2000, 2010, etc.) the City uses information to describe demographic and housing characteristics and trends. The U.S. Census data is 100 -percent data count of persons in the City of Sisters. Assumption: The City assumes that U.S. Census data and PRC Official Population Estimates are reliable and accurate sources of demographic and housing data. The City assumes EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e PAGE EXHIBIT E August 2004 relevant data from these sources can be used to describe the characteristics of the City, as a basis for calculating rates of growth describing past and current trends, and for background information. Step 1(B): City issued building permits for residential structures are an appropriate measure to estimate population. By predicting how many building permits will be issued in combination with information such as persons per dwelling unit, population can be predicted. The growth of the City's population is estimated in part based on the growth of building permits. The City believes this is an accurate and reliable means of estimating population for the City. The building permit information presented in the following discussion refers to building permits for residential structures (single-family, duplexes, triplexes, town homes, multi -family, etc.) after subtracting demolitions. Demolition permits are required by the City when existing dwelling units are destroyed or removed. The City believes that nearly all demolitions receive demolition permits, but like all permit processes, some persons who remove a dwelling unit do not receive a permit. The City assumes a very small fraction of demolitions occur without permits and any differences between actual demolitions and permitted demolitions is negligible in examining rates of growth and using rates of growth for predictive purposes. The small difference in actual demolitions versus permitted demolitions is explained in more detail in Table 35. Assumption: Building Permits issued for residential structures in the future (coupled with information on persons per household) is an accurate method to estimate the future population of the City. An alternative to the City's assumption is that building permits are not appropriate for this use, and that there is no connection between the construction of residential buildings and population. Facts presented below demonstrate the City's assumption is reasonable. Factual Basis for Assumption The information presented below demonstrates that rates of building permit issuance closely match population growth in Sisters. In Table 31 average annual rates of population growth for the periods between 1990 and 2000 and 2001-2003 are shown. 1990 679 ' NA 2000 975 2 3.68% 2003 1,4302 13.62% ' Source: 1990 U.S. Census, Summary File 1 JSF-1) 100 -Percent Data 2 Source: PRC July 1, Official Population Estimate City of Sisters 3 Source: Calculated based on Future Value = Present Value (1+r) t EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (D9/08/04) EXHIBIT-,� PAGE 40 EXHIBIT E August 2004 Population estimates in Table 31 show a rapid increase between 2001 and 2003 compared to the rate of growth over the previous decade. As further discussed in Appendix C, this is due to construction of a municipal wastewater treatment facility that was mostly completed by year 2001. Over the period of time between 1990 and 2000, the number of housing units increased 3.13 percent/year according to Table 32. Note in Table 33, using the exact same source of data (U.S. Census data), the rate of population growth was 3.51 percent per year. These two rates of average annual growth are very similar. Differences may occur if there are shifts in the number of people per dwelling unit. As shown in Appendix C, in 1990 the City's rate of Persons Per Housing Unit was 1.90 and increased to 1.99 in year 2000 (U.S. Census, see Appendix C). The City predicts this increase is one reason why the rate of population in Table 33 grew faster than for dwelling units in Table 32. This information demonstrates why it is appropriate to use the number of new dwelling units to predict population, in combination with other important data. Table 32 Rate of Housing Unit Growth in City of Sisters, 1990 and 2000 1990-2000 ' 354 to 482 housing units 3.13% ' Source: 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census, Summary File 1 (SF -1)100 -Percent Data Table 33 shows that according to the U.S. Census the City's population grew at 3.51 percent per year between 1990 and 2000. This is slightly different than PRC's estimates of population during the same time period because the U.S. Census reflects April's population and PRC reflects July 1 population for the year. Tables 32 and 33 demonstrate that there is a 0.38 percent per year difference between population growth and growth of housing units in the City, further substantiating that rates of growth of housing units are comparable to population growth rates (all else being equal).

Table 31 shows that according to PRC's Official July 1 Population Estimates for Sisters between 2001 and 2003; the population grew at a rate of 13.62 percent per year. Comparing this to the rate of housing unit growth explained in Tables 34 and 35, total housing units grew at a rate off 14.57 percent per year over the same time period (2001-2003). Although not exactly the same, nor as closely related as the rates shown between 1990 and 2000, the rates differ by only less than 1%. This may be explained by a change in the vacancy rate as a result of the rapid building activity. Table 34 Comparative Housing Unit Growth Rates, 1990-2000 and 2001-2003 1990-2000 ' 354 to 482 housing units 3.13% 2001-2003 ` 482 to 725 housing units 14.57% Source: 1990 and 2000 U.S. Censuses, Summary File 1 (SF -1) 100 -Percent Data Source: City of Sisters Building Permits for Residential Units, after subtracting demolitions. Table 35 below, shows exactly how many building permits for residential units after subtracting demolitions were issued by year in the City between 1990 and 2003. Using data from the 1990 U.S. Census to estimate the number of housing units in the City and adding each year's additional building permits provides a running total of the number of housing units in the City by year. This demonstrates the slow rate of building in the early 1990's, the acceleration in anticipation of construction of the municipal sewer in 1996, the dramatic and sustained increases in issuance of building permits as the sewer became operational, and the continued rate of building permit issuance since the sewer's completion. Table 35 also provides two data points from the U.S. Census in 1990 and 2000 which help evaluate the accuracy of the City's records with respect to using residential building permits to predict housing units. Total housing units in 1990 and 2000 are from the U.S. Census, but years in between are calculated by adding the Building Permits for Residential Units (by year) to the previous year's Total Housing Units. In 2000, the U.S. Census estimated 482 housing units in the City. If each year's building permits are added up between 1991 and 2000 it equals 496 Total Housing Units. This is only a 16 building permit difference between the City's calculated number of Total Housing Units and the U.S. Census data. This difference is most likelydue to demolitions that were not permitted but actually occurred. This indicates the City did not permit an average of 1.6 demolitions per year over a 10 year period. To account for this the City uses housing unit growth rates calculated based on the U.S. Census for estimation later in this report. EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e.

Note: In 2000, a difference of 16 Total Housing Units between calculated 496 Total Housing Units and US Census of 482 Total Housing Units. The factual information above supports the City's assumption that using residential building permits to approximate the growth of housing units and to predict population is appropriate when used with other information such as the number of people per dwelling unit. The rates of growth of the City's housing units and population mirror each other over a decade between 1990 and 2000 as well as during a short period such as 2001-2003. Increases in housing unit construction are mirrored by the increases in the official population estimates by PRC. Multiple sources of public data verify these conclusions. Step 2: Determining Appropriate Rates of Growth for the Future As shown in Tables 31 and 34, a rapid increase in the City's population occurred after the year 2000 and continues today. The City assumes this change was due to the construction of a municipal sewer system resulting in a surge of residential building activity, increased housing stock, and then population increases proportional to the new housing. The City is faced with predicting population growth in a local "boom" cycle within a larger County which has (and is expected) to experience sizable population increases. Assumption: The historic rate of population growth between 1990 and 2000 is not appropriate as the sole predictor for future growth from 2004 to 2025. Factual Basis for Assumption: EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) F_XHIBIT e,_ PAGE -53— . EXHIBIT E August 2004 In years 1990 through 2000, no municipal sewer was available and residential development was limited to single-family development on large (1/2 acre) lots. The relatively low average annual population growth rate of 3.68 percent per year between 1990 and 2000 shown in Table 31 reflects this when compared to the rate of population growth after the municipal sewer installation in 2001. In years 2001 to 2003 the average annual rate of population growth in the City was 13.62 percent per year, nearly four times the rate during the 1990s. In addition, the City's development codes were dramatically updated in 2001, implementing the Department of Land Conservation and Development's "Model Development Code". This code facilitates development of infill and smaller lot sizes. Thus, the conditions (new sewer and code) present in 2004 and beyond are significantly different than in the 1990's and a predictive rate or methodology that considers new conditions is necessary to accurately predict future population growth. Assumption: The extraordinary rate of population growth experienced between 2001 and 2003 is a result of new conditions such as a new municipal sewer and Development Code, and therefore should not be used as the sole predictor for future growth from 2004 to 2025. Factual Basis for Assumption: As shown in Table 31, in years 2001 to 2003 the average annual rate of population growth in the City was 13.62 percent per year, nearly four times the rate during the 1990s. Although building permit activity for year 2003 was the highest on record for the City, other sources of information suggest that 2003 may be the "crest" of the wave of building activity. For example, in Appendix C, there were five fewer partitions in 2003 as in 2002 (Appendix C, Table 3). Likewise, there was a decrease in lots created via subdivision, from 85 to 22 between 2002 and 2003 (Appendix C, Table 4). Building permits are also tracking to be slightly less in 2004 than 2003. Keep in mind that a handful of applications could result in a dramatic change upward in this trend. However, it appears that the immediate affect of the new sewer and development code may be slowing slightly. Assumption: The high rate of building permit issuance and population growth between 2001 and 2003 will slowly decrease to a slower rate of growth approximated by population and building permit growth rates of the 1990s. Factual Basis for Assumption: The factual basis demonstrating why it is inappropriate to rely upon population growth rates between 1990 and 2000 or between 2001 and 2003 is incorporated herein. The methodology to predict the future then is based on the following discussion. Step 2(A) Predicting the Decline of the Current Rapid Population Growth in Sisters An examination of when and how much the development of the municipal sewer system influenced growth is presented in Table 36. This analysis assumes the extent of the influence of the new sewer on higher growth will decline at approximately the same rate in which it increased. The rise and decline is expressed in building permits for residential units after subtracting for demolitions. The City assumes the public debate preceding the public vote on the sewer in 1998 exerted a minor influence upon development decisions resulting in additional building permit issuance in 1996 and 1997. This is demonstrated by the relatively small increases in building permit activity between 1996 and 1997 compared to the following years. The assumption is that EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT e - PAGE __Y-_ EXHIBIT E August 2004 this is a small, or gradual effect took place since the number of building permits in 1996 and 1997 relative to the 2003 "peak" is only 10 percent. The municipal sewer was approved by voters in 1998 but not completed until 2001. In years 1998 through 2003 there is a steady increase in the number of building permits issued. In years 2001 and 2002, building permit issuance was 70 percent of the peak in each year. Table 36 relates the number of building permits issued for residential units to the peak year of permit issuance in 2003 in order to predict how long the influence of the sewer may last in years to come (as predicted in Table 37). Implicit is the assumption that as the sewer influenced building prior to the peak of 2003, its influence will similarly decline in the coming years. This is an attempt to mathematically represent the timing of the influence of the sewer, and to quantify its affects relative to building permit issuance. From this information, the City assumes that the affect of the sewer started gradually in 1996 and peaked in 2003. In each year after 1996 the influence of the sewer system is expressed as the Percent of Annual Building Permits to Peak of 2003.

' Source: City of Sisters Planning Department assumes that the planning and publicity regarding construction of the municipal sewer accellerated building of residential units prior to the sewer construction (beginning in 1996) and this "pent up demand" for residential structures peaked in 2003. Table 37 uses the information in Table 36 further and results in weighted growth rates that are used to determine future building permit issuance based on the declining influence of the new sewer. Implicit is the assumption that the rate of increase of building permit issuance caused by the new sewer will be stronger in the upcoming years, decrease over the same period of time as the increase (7 years), and reduce in effect over the time period. EXHIBIT `B" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT M_ PAGE JAS EXHIBIT E August 2004 Since the City requires rates of growth of future building permit issuance to predict future population, Table 37 produces a growth rate (in last column) that is the result of weighting the faster growth rates experienced during 2001-2003 and the slower rates between 1990 and 2000. The growth rates that are weighted represent growth of housing units are from Table 34. In the second column of Table 37, a 14.57 percent per year growth rate represents the actual "peak" growth rate of the period between 2001 and 2003. The third column represents the actual "pre -sewer" rate of growth of 3.13 percent per year experienced between 1990 and 2000. The last column contains yearly growth rates for building permit issuance calculated based on the weighted values in the previous two rows. The weighted values in the column "2001-2003 Annual Average Growth Rate of Building Permits (14.57%) Weighted by Following %" come directly from Table 36. For example, in Table 36, in year 2002 building permit issuance was 70 percent of the peak of 2003. Following the assumption that the influence of the sewer will decline as it rose, then in year 2004, the most recent rate of building permit growth between 2001 and 2003 (14.57 percent) is weighted by 70 percent and the 1990-2000 rate of building permit growth (3.13) is weighted by 30 percent as shown in Table 37. The resulting weighted growth rate for the year 2004 is 11.1 percent. For 2005, the resulting weighted growth rate is the same because as shown in Table 36, two year preceding the peak building permit issuance of 2003, 70 percent of the building permit peak occurred. This calculation was performed for each year in Table 37 according to the "Permits to Peak Rounded, Used to Estimate Future Decline" in Table 36, preceding the peak year of 2003 until the effect of the sewer is anticipated to be gone, in year 2012.

The resulting weighted rates of building permit growth are shown in the last column of Table 37. These are used to predict the number of building permits that will be issued in the City reflecting the declining influence of the municipal sewer system and declining rate of growth. Table 38 demonstrates the purpose of Tables 36 and 37 and results in predictions of new building permits issued in the City between 2004 and 2025. From the number of building permits for residential dwellings issued in this period in combination with the number of persons EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT S_ PAGE --.� EXHIBIT E August 2004 per dwelling, yearly population estimates are constructed. The assumption is rapid growth of the 2001-2003 period will decline as shown to a rate of 3.13 percent per year. The rate of 3.13 percent per year growth of residential building permits is the same rate of building permit issuance between 1990 and 2003 (see Table 35). This is appropriate because it is over a 10 year period, is relatively recent, and was the rate of growth in housing units prior to the major affect of the new municipal sewer.

Source: Persons per Dwelling Unit of 1.99 is from the 2000 U. S. Census, SF -1. This statistic accounts for vacancy rates and second homes. The statistic increases over time as estimated here by the City of Sisters Planning Department based on the assumption that the City will approach the State of Oregon statistic of 2.4 Persons Per Dwelling Unit as determined by the 2000 U.S. Census, SF -1. In other words, the City of Sisters will become more like the state in terms of persons per household in the future. 5 Source: Calculated by adding the total of (Total Res.

Step 4: A Comprehensive Population Forecast for the Sisters UGB The following population forecast presented in Table 38 assembles the data, methodologies, and assumptions in the preceding pages to result in a population forecast that demonstrate: 1. Historic rates of housing unit growth from 1990 to 2000 closely match population growth over the same period of time, and because of this, using the issuance of new building permits to predict population growth (along with persons per dwelling unit data) is accurate and appropriate; EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2004-012 (09/08/04) EXHIBIT C::� PAGE 9_ EXHIBIT E August 2004 2. New building permits issued by the City for residential structures after subtracting demolitions closely match U.S. Census Data for housing units; 3. Planning and construction of a new municipal sewer in the City starting in 1998 and finishing in 2001 resulted in a dramatic increase of building permit issuance, housing construction, and population growth that has continued since completion of the sewer; 4. Official PRC Population Estimates for the City's population closely match the issuance of new building permits by the City for residential units; 5. The City expects the high rate of building permit issuance for residential structures and rates of population growth to decline at approximately the same rate as they increases as a result of the municipal sewer construction; 6. The rate of building permit issuance will normalize in the next seven years to levels of housing unit growth observed in the City between 1990 and 2000; 7. From 2011 to 2025, the rate of housing unit growth will be the same as the rate of growth in the Sisters City Limits between years 1990 and 2000 It is important to reference the discussion of "persons per dwelling unit" in Appendix C as it relates to Table 38. Persons per dwelling unit accounts for second homes and vacancies because it takes the total number of people in an area and divides it by the total number of dwelling units. The City uses persons per dwelling unit to predict future populations in concert with building permits for residential dwelling units. Also important is the very local nature of the statistic "persons per dwelling unit". Deschutes County, Bend, Redmond, and Sisters may all share a general proximity, but the specific housing characteristics of each community vary greatly. Therefore, it is appropriate for each jurisdiction to use its own estimates to reflect local norms. Between 1990 and 2000, the City of Sisters has seen a slow increase in the number of persons per dwelling unit, from 1.9 to 1.99 (see Appendix C, source U.S. Census). The City expects this trend to continue and for the City to become more like the surrounding communities and state. Generally, rates for persons per household are higher for a city, but since Sisters is a recreation oriented city with numerous second homes and vacation homes, a rate of 1.99 is not abnormal. However, the City assumes that this will normalize as the City grows, diversifies, and attracts increasing numbers of younger families and adults with more children.
