I~ This page must be included if document is re-recorded. Do Not remove from original document. Chair Luke opened the hearing at this time. Isa Taylor, attorney for the applicant; wanted to clarify the order and confirm that in Section 2, the regulations include both EFU zoning and landscape management zone regulations. Tom Anderson said the order just waives the review date; whatever has occurred since that date would not impact the land use application unless they involve public safety or environmental concerns. Ms. Taylor said that in the last sentence of Section 2, current procedural regulations are not clearly stated. Commissioner Luke replied that certain rules have to be followed for public health and safety reasons. He added that he cannot give his opinion on this issue now; that it needs to go through the normal application process. Mark Pilliod stated that the acquisition date is the most critical thing. Because of the nature of the development proposed, it is impossible to judge what regulations would be in play. The language in the order relates back to the standard staff report provisions, and it is purely procedural on how one prepares a plan. He explained that, for instance, setbacks could invite site distance issues which would not be waivable for a Measure 37 claim. No further testimony was offered, so Chair Luke closed the hearing. CLARNO: Move approval. LUKE: Second. VOTE: CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 3. Before the Board was a Hearing on a Measure 37 Claim, Order No. 2006- 047 (Peterson). Tom Anderson explained that this claim is for property located at 3848 Northwest Way, outside of Redmond. It is two lots consisting of twelve acres zoned EFU, located outside the urban reserve area. The claimant wishes to subdivide it into three parcels. The amount of the claim is $200,000. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, April 5, 2006 Page 2 of 7 Pages A title insurance policy places the acquisition date in December 1972, although the deed was not recorded until early 1973. The earlier date would apply in this case for subsequent land use applications. The zoning was PL-2, and this could affect the lot sizes. Ed Fitch said his client has no objection to the order. No further testimony was offered, so Chair Luke closed the hearing. CLARNO: Move approval. LUKE: Second. VOTE: CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was a Hearing on a Measure 37 Claim, Order No. 2006- 048 (DeGaetano). Tom Anderson stated that this property is located at 67180 Highway 20, across from Harrington Loop. It consists of 52 acres zoned EFU, and the claimant would like to subdivide it into four or five residential properties. The claim is for $1 million. The claimant acquired the property outright in 1963, and ownership has continued since then. Ed Fitch said his client has no objection to the order. No further testimony was offered, so Chair Luke closed the hearing. CLARNO: Move approval. LUKE: Second. VOTE: CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was a Hearing a Measure 37 Claim, Order No. 2006-044 (Claimant: Hopp). Mark Pilliod stated that he reviewed the documents from the acquisition of the property, and it appears the earnest money agreement and other documents indicate the claimant had obtained an interest in the property at that time. The acquisition date should therefore be the earlier date as presented by the claimant. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting Wednesday, April 5, 2006 Page 3 of 7 Pages Chair Luke opened the hearing for comments. Ed Fitch, attorney for the claimant, said they have no objection to the revised report and order. Paul Dewey, representing the Sisters Forest Planning Committee, said he previously submitted testimony in writing. Mark Pilliod advised the Board that this group is not entitled to testify in person since they are not in the notice area. Mr. Dewey stated he feels the dates are been decided too broadly and only the recording date should be considered. No further testimony was offered, so Chair Luke closed the hearing. CLARNO: Move approval, subject to review. LUKE: Second. VOTE: CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 6. Before the Board was a Hearing a Measure 37 Claim, Order No. 2006-045 (Claimant: Ward). Mark Pilliod said this was continued from the April 3 meeting. In executive session on April 4, alternate dates to address this issue were discussed. May 10, 2006 will be the date for the continuation. 7. Before the Board were Deliberations and a Possible Decision on Appeals of the Hearings Officer's Denial of a Proposal to Establish an Outdoor Amphitheater off Highway 20, East of Bend (Applicant: Christian Life Center). Commissioner Luke read his statement regarding this decision. (A copy is attached as Exhibit B.) Commissioner Clarno then read her statement regarding this issue. (A copy is attached as Exhibit C.) CLARNO: Move to affirm in part and reverse in part the decision of the Hearings Officer, per the statements given today; with staff to draft findings based on these statements. LUKE: Second.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA Before the Board were Deliberations and a Possible Decision on Appeals of Hearings Officer's Denial of Home Occupation in Case #CU-05-71 (Applicant: Lundgren). There were no questions of staff. Commissioner Luke read his statement on this issue. (A copy is attached as Exhibit D.) He pointed out that he believes Commissioner Daly also feels that the limitation regarding whether it could be one or two lots was not the intent of the home occupation ordinance as adopted, and was never discussed during deliberations on the ordinance. Commissioner Luke stated that the home occupation can't be a type 3 at this time, but could possibly be a type 1 or 2 if there were no equipment parked outside. Commissioner Clarno then read her statement to the audience. (A copy is attached as Exhibit E.) CLARNO: Move to deny the appeal per the statements made today, and have staff draft the appropriate findings. LUKE: Second. VOTE: CLARNO: Aye. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Being no further items to come before the Board, Chair Luke adjourned the meeting at 11: 00 a. m.

The hearing before the Board is quasi-judicial, but not a land use decision. This proceeding is the only hearing provided by the County under the County code provisions which implement Ballot Measure 37. The Board's decision will be based upon the material submitted to county staff and furnished to the Board. The County code provides that the claimant and those persons who have previously submitted written material to the County on this matter will be given an opportunity to offer testimony bearing on the claim. This hearing is not open for comments from members of the general public. The decision by the County on this matter will be memorialized in a Final Order. The Final Order will be mailed to all those participating in this proceeding. The Final Order will also be recorded in the Clerk's Office. The criteria for this decision involving a claim under Ballot Measure 37 is contained within Chapter 14.10 of the Code. The applicable criteria are as follows: 1. The Claimant is the owner of the subject property; and 2. The Claimant or a family member has owned the subject property continuously since before adoption or the effective date of a county land use regulation; 3. The County's land use regulation is not exempt from challenge under Ballot Measure 37; and 4. The County's land use regulation has caused a reduction in the value of Claimant's property. If the Board determines that the criteria for compensation payment pursuant to Ballot Measure 37 has been established, and the claim is eligible, it may by written order decide that the county's land use regulation be modified, not applied to the claimant's property, or it may elect to pay compensation based upon the reduction in value attributed to the subject regulation. Pagel of 2 Exhibit Page of 2. The County's decision will not result in the issuance of a building permit, but will only allow the Claimant to apply for a permit without first complying with the challenged land use regulation. A Claimant must also comply with County regulations which were not challenged under Measure 37. Furthermore, the County's decision is not intended as having any effect on land use or other regulations adopted by other government entities, such as the State of Oregon or LCDC. Testimony, arguments and evidence must be directed toward the criteria described above, or other criteria, which the person believes to apply to the decision. Failure to raise an issue accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the Board and the parties an opportunity to respond to the issue, may preclude judicial review based on that issue. The order of presentation is as follows: 1. The County Administrator's report and recommendation. 2. Claimant's presentation. 3. Witnesses who oppose the Claimant's position. 4. Rebuttal by the Claimant. 5. If new information is presented by the Claimant, then rebuttal by the witness in opposition. Any person that is interested in this matter may challenge the qualification of any Commissioner to participate in the hearing and decision. Such challenge must state facts relied upon by the party to a Commissioner's bias, prejudgment, personal interest, or other facts from which the party has concluded that the Commissioner should not participate as they are not impartial. Such challenge must be made prior to the commencement of the public hearing, and will be incorporated into the record of this hearing. Does anyone wish to challenge any commissioner's ability to hear this matter? If so, please say so now? Hearing no challenges, I will proceed. Page 1 of 2 Exhibit A Page of 2., CHRISTIAN LIFE CENTER AMPHITHEATER DENNIS LUKE'S FINDINGS This is an extremely complicated case with many legal ramifications whichever way the Board decides the issues. With that being said, I agree with the Hearings Officer that the storage building is an expansion of the church's facilities as allowed by Deschutes County Code 18.16.025(E). I also find that the amphitheater retaining wall and stage do constitute "structures" under the County code and are expansions of the church under the same code provision just cited. Furthermore, I find that the Christian Life Center's use of the retaining wall and stage for the normal church events such as church services, weddings, funerals and so forth, where the attendance will not exceed the current reported attendance of 832, is also an expansion of the church and, thus, allowed under the County Code. In that respect, I affirm the Hearings Officer's decision. I cannot, however, find that the outdoor concerts to be an expansion of the Church. I based this on the fact that, although the Church already holds such concerts within the building, the concerts are more commercial or park use in nature because they charge admission for these concerts. It does not matter that the Church is not making a profit from the concerts. While some churches may engage in these types of concerts, I do not find that they are activities "customarily associated with the practices of the religious activity" as stated in ORS 215.441. These concerts differ from the regular church uses listed previously because those uses do not demand payment for attendance. Also, the increased number of people Page 1 of 1 - Christian Life Center- Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page _L of outdoors will create a larger impact on the surrounding area than if the Church were to expand its existing building and hold the concerts indoors. The large volume of people that attend these concerts is also more akin to the volumes of people that use or attend events at the nearby Big Sky Park and the J Bar J Ranch for which Conditional Use permits were obtained, albeit, each was a different kind of Conditional Use. Events at the Park or the Ranch are in keeping with a park as would be the concerts in the amphitheater. Furthermore, the large attendance at events at the Park or the Ranch is not at regular events throughout the good weather months. In fact, the Ranch has only one event a year. The Board can look at impacts on the surrounding area because I interpret the site plan code in DCC 18.124.060(A) to require such an analysis in order to assure that the site plan "relates harmoniously to . . . existing development." I do not believe that regulating uses to meet this criterion violates the restriction in ORS 215.441(2)(a), which limits a county to site or design review "concerning the physical characteristics of the uses authorized." This is because I agree with the Hearings Officer's findings regarding 18.124.060(B), (C) and (D), found on pages 14 through 21 of the Hearings Officer's decision. Contrary to the Hearinas' Officer's findings regarding paragraph A of that code provision, however, I do find that noise impacts are also physical characteristics. As for the traffic impacts, I believe the applicant has provided sufficient evidence that the traffic impacts of the large concerts can be mitigated by the traffic plan for such concerts submitted to the Page 2 of 2 - Christian Life Center- Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page Oregon Department of Transportation. I also believe that the applicant provided evidence to the Board of the applicant providing for the Public Health and Safety issues upon which the Hearings Officer based her denial on page 20 of her decision. As for the noise level of the concerts, the applicant submitted expert testimony that the decibel levels are not likely to exceed those levels allowed by the County code and State law. Because of the testimony given as to how far the sound travels from the Les Schwabe Amphitheater in Bend, however, I do not find the applicant's expert testimony credible and believe the sound will be much louder and travel much further, especially at night, than the expert surmised. While a regular church service may also have rock or other energetic music, the volume for an attendance of 832 people is not likely to be as great as for an attendance of 2000 people. Thus, such concerts will not "relate harmoniously" to either the natural environment or the existing development because the concerts will create too much audible disturbance too often during the good weather months than either of the park or ranch conditional uses do. Therefore, I find that the outdoor concerts must be restricted to the parameters outlined in the County's Outdoor Mass Gathering code provisions in Chapter 8.16. The other option for the applicant is to apply for a conditional use permit in order that the County could engage in a more in-depth analysis of the impacts. Such a requirement for the concerts is not a substantial burden on the church because the concerts can still be held inside the current facilities. Additionally, the County has a compelling interest in requiring uses to relate harmoniously with the natural environment Page 3 of 3 - Christian Life Center- Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page 0 of 5 and the existing development because the church is located on land in a resource zone and is surrounded by rural uses for which loud concerts would be extreme disturbance. Furthermore, requiring a condition use permit for a private park or requiring adherence to the Outdoor Mass Gathering code is the least restrictive means of assuring that compelling interest because other similar uses have been required to apply and receive approval for conditional use permits. Thus, the Church is not being singled out or discriminated against. In regards to the issue of floor area and that code requirement's relationship to the amphitheater, I find that the Hearings Officer's decision should be affirmed. The applicant, however, has demonstrated that it has the correct number of spaces by providing information correcting the Hearings Officer's findings. Neither the parking spaces for the regular church activities nor for the large concert, however, need to be paved because the applicant provided sufficient evidence that it can construct the parking area with an alternative surface that will control dust and storm water run-off. As for the bicycle parking, I disagree with the Hearings Officer's findings that the Dolan case is applicable. The Dolan takings analysis applies to off-site improvement requirements or on-site exactions for public use or conservation. The bicycle parking is an on-site requirement for those who are to use the facility itself and not for general members of the public to use. Thus, the applicant should be required to provide the 93 bicycle parking with 47 of them should be covered unless the applicant applies for a variance. Page 4 of 4 - Christian Life Center- Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page of To summarize, I vote to affirm in part and reverse in part the Hearings Officer's decision in this case. I believe that the structures being placed in the area that will be the amphitheater are an expansion of the church and, as such, I believe their use by the church for regular church services, weddings, funerals and so forth is allowed outright. I do not believe that the large concert events are customary activities of the church such that their prohibition will infringe on any freedom of religious exercise. I also find that the site plan review criteria does not conflict with ORS 215.441(2)(a) and, thus, the County is allowed to regulate characteristics such as traffic, noise, sanitation, security, food handling. I also believe the applicant has shown the appropriate number of parking spaces for both the regular church activities and the large concerts and none of the spaces need to be paved but should be constructed with the surface proposed by the applicant. Finally, the bicycle parking requirements as stated in the original staff report do apply unless a variance is obtained. Page 5 of 5 - Christian Life Center- Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit 5 Page _ of Christian Life Center Amphitheater Bev Clarno Findings I agree with the Hearings Officer regarding the storage facility. It is also my opinion that the wall and. stage- structures do consitute "structures" under the county code. I cannot find that Concerts are an expansion of the Church. Concerts cannot be considered the same as regular Church uses, when payment is expected to attend these concerts. I believe the applicants have provided evidence that the traffic impacts of such a large group can be mitagated by their traffic plan. My concern is for the safety of those attending the concerts and for traffic users on the public highway. I feel safety must be the highest priority and it is our responsibility to provide the utmost safety possible. It is my opinion and finding that the concerts must be restricted to the County's Mass Gathering code. I Exhibit G Page of LUNDGREN DENNIS LUKE'S FINDINGS The opponents in this case asked the Board to find that the Lundrens' have a commercial use rather than a home occupation because the Lundrens' excavation business is not conducted primarily in a residence. They base the argument on the excavation equipment being the primary home occupation and that is parked outside rather than primarily within the dwelling as required by the County Code and State statute for properties within the Exclusive Farm Use zone. I disagree with this argument and find that the Lundrens' excavation business that is located on the Lundgren's property is primarily within the dwelling in that the home occupation is the bookkeeping, invoicing, coordinating activities that occur within the office within the dwelling. The parking of the vehicles outside is the storage of equipment as permitted by the Deschutes County Code 18.116.280(B)(3)(1). That is not the principle activities of the home occupation. Therefore, I also disagree with the Hearings Officer's findings that the area occupied by the vehicles must be calculated to be included in the 35% limitation on the use of the dwelling and accessory structures for the home occupation. During the discussions at the time of the revisions to the home occupation code, I recall the Board and public discussions centered on the very the type of equipment the Lundgrens' have. Thus, it was this type of home occupation the Board had in mind when establishing the Type 3 tier. Page 1 of 1 - Lundgren - Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page of To find that the vehicle parking was included in the 35% limitation defeats the purpose of having a Type 3 home occupation with the ability to have outside storage of equipment. The main problem with this application, however, is that the equipment is not being stored on the same legal lot as the home occupation. Although the term "subject property," as it is used in DCC 18.116.280, could be interpreted to mean a tract of adjacent legal lots under the same ownership, that issue was never discussed when we were revising the Home Occupation code two years ago. This is partly because the County regulations allowing the partition for non- farm dwellings allowed by the 2001 House Bill 3326 were fairly new then. Therefore, we did not discuss how many lots the home occupation regulations might affect where the smaller lot and the adjacent larger lots were in the same ownership. Because that was not discussed, I cannot interpret the term "subject property," as it is used in County's Home Occupation regulations, to mean that the home occupation can be in the dwelling on one parcel with the outside equipment storage on the adjacent parcel. As the County Code is written now, I find that the term "subject property" means that the outside storage of equipment must be on the same parcel as the structure in which the home occupation is being conducted. The County needs to undertake a public process to hear testimony on the impact of such a provision and its compatibility with State law. Only then can the Board know how many parcels could be affected by a provision allowing adjacent parcels to have equipment Page 2 of 2 - Lundgren - Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page of storage, know the parameters of the term "adjacent," and clarify with language in the code. I realize this presents a problem for the Lundgrens because the parcel which contains the dwelling where the home occupation code is not the 10 acres size required by DCC 18.116.280(6)(3)(1). As a result, I find that this application must be denied because the outside parking of the vehicles used in the Lundgrens' excavation business is the "storage of equipment and materials" under the County code and that storage is not and cannot be on the same legal lot as the structure in which the home occupation is located. Page 3 of 3 - Lundgren - Dennis Luke's Findings Exhibit Page _ of LUNDGREN BEV CLARNO'S FINDINGS I prepared this statement based upon the Board's discussion in Monday's work session regarding this case. Although I was not on the`,Board :of,County Commissioners two years ago when the County's Home Occupation regulations were being revised, I regretfully must agree with Commissioner Luke's findings that the Lundgrens' application must be denied. This is because I agree that the County's code -is not clear on the meaning of the term "subject property" and, as it stands now, the code cannot be interpreted to allow a home occupation on one parcel with the storage of the equipment and materials on an adjacent property in the same ownership. I agree that a public process s~d be undertaken to clarify the V code because, at this point, I am not persuaded that the State regulations relating to EFU lands prohibits a county from having a provision that allows the subject property. to be defined as a tract of adjacent properties under -the-=-same.:-ownership. As Commissioner Luke stated, however, this definition should be clarified in a public s SQ-v/ Page 1 of 2 - Lundgren - de's Fmcins Exhibit E, Page of process that can either be initiated by an individual submitting an application with the appropriate fee for a text amendment or by the Board adding this to the Community Development Department's work plan for the next fiscal year.
