Compensation Claims and Declaring an
Emergency.
ORDINANCE NO. 2005-018
WHEREAS, Measure 37, which passed at the state-wide general election held on November 2,
2004, provides a right to compensation to certain private real property owners under certain
circumstances where Deschutes County (County) has enacted or enforced a land use regulation, which,
when imposed on such owner's real property, restricted the use of the property in a way that resulted in
a reduction of the fair market value of the property; and
WHEREAS, following adoption of Measure 3 7 the County adopted Code Chapter 14. 10, which
provided a process by which Measure 37 claims could be evaluated; and
WHEREAS, as the staff has gained experience in processing Measure 37 claims pursuant to the
County code, it has become apparent that several provisions in the code are either ambiguous,
inconsistent with or not supported by provisions of Measure 37 or would unnecessarily hamper the
County in its effort to efficiently resolve some claims; now, therefore,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON,
ORDAINS as follows:
Section 1. AMENDING. The Deschutes County Code Chapter 14.10 is amended as set
forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

of competent jurisdiction, the invalid portion shall be severed from the ordinance and the rest shall
remain in full force and effect.
