3. Before the Board was a Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 2008-014,
Regarding "Farm Stand" as a Permitted Use within the Urban Area
Reserve Zone.
Will Groves read the preliminary statement at this time. (See attached marked
as Exhibit A.) In regard to conflicts of interest, bias or prejudgment, none of
the Commissioners had any to disclose and no challenges were noted from the
public.
Mr. Groves read the background and staff report. (See attached marked as
Exhibit B.)
Commissioner Luke asked what the set back is. Mr. Groves said the set back is
a minimum of 50 feet from the street right of way line. Commissioner Luke
asked if the ordinance will be County wide, if through the approval process
there will be questions about access to County roads, and if the Road
Department gets a chance to comment on any application.
Mr. Groves said they will go through standard site plan reviews and there will
be required access permits for the road, if they are not already granted. There
will be a traffic impact study done and the Road Department and the
Transportation Planner will both comment as part of the site plan review
process.
Commissioner Luke opened the hearing at this time.
Stephanie Hicks said she is with Ball Janik LLP and is here representing the
applicant, Christen Brown. She said Will Groves had gone through everything
quite accurately as far as the history of where they have been on the application,
the process through which this has evolved, and the reasons for the additional
criteria for the permitted outright and CUP process.
Because it seemed like there were not many questions, the bulk of her
testimony before the Planning Commission was to go through why the site plan
review was appropriate because it is similar a to conditional use permit review.
Commissioner Luke said there was no opposition, the Planning Commission
spent the time on this, and staff has reviewed it.
iviiiiULCS of noara or Lommissioner's Business Meeting Monday, March 24, 2008
Page 2 of 4 Pages
Christian Brown (applicant) said this process started with an administrative
decision but it was withdrawn because Planner Harrison asked them to draft
language that would not only apply to his parcel but that would be County wide.
That is the reason for the extended process and the long language.
He stated Commissioner Luke's comment on the access being problematic is
correct. They have already had discussions with the Road Department to make
sure the issues can be addressed and have already reached a conclusion on how
to solve it.
Commissioner Daly asked if there was a minimum ten acre requirement as he
has five acres in Redmond. Mr. Brown said with out a conditional use permit,
to have an outright permitted use, you need to have at least ten acres of UAR.
Ms. Hicks stated even with a ten acre lot, you would have to meet all the
criteria. If someone wanted a farm stand on smaller than ten acres, they would
have to apply for a conditional use permit and the parcel would have to be in a
UAR zone as well as other criteria.
Catherine Morrow said the text amendment applies to the UAR 10 zone around
Bend only. It is Title 19 and no one has come forward from Redmond and
asked that they be included. If someone in Redmond wanted to change the text
and it is not on the work plan, they would have to make an application unless
the Board requested that it be put on the work plan.
Commissioner Daly thought the whole purpose of the process was to make it
County wide rather than just a small area.
Ms. Morrow said it makes it apply to the entire UAR 10 zone in Bend. The
section of the Code that applies to Redmond is in a different chapter. As Mr.
Groves said, farm stands are a use that is allowed in EFU zones under state
statute and is incorporated in County codes as well. It does not mean that farm
stands are only allowed in UAR 10.
Laurie Craghead said at this point Redmond can't be legally added to this
process. She recommended staff bring back an ordinance and findings next
week or the week after for the Board's approval. If the Board gives direction
for emergency clause, then add it at this time.

MEMORANDUM
Date:
March 10, 2008
To:
Deschutes Board of County Commissioners
From:
Will Groves, Senior Planner
Subject:
TA-07-8- Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND
The applicant has proposed changes to the Deschutes County Code for legislative text
amendments to the Deschutes County Code ("Code") to include "farm stand" as a
outright permitted and conditional use within the Urban Area Reserve (UAR-10) zone.
Sections changed by this proposal include 19.12 (Urban Area Reserve Zone UAR-10),
19.88 (Provisions Applying To Special Use Standards) and 19.100 (Conditional Use
Permits).
Unlike Title 18 of the Code (which governs general County lands, including EFU lands),
Title 19 (which governs UAR-10 lands) does not currently contain a separate use
category for "farm stands."
The proposed text amendments match the text set forth in Chapter 18.16, governing
farm stands the Exclusive Farm Use zone. Like the farm stands allowed in EFU zones
under 18.16, the proposed text amendments will require site plan review, in this case
under DCC Chapter 19.76. By requiring site plan approval and review to ensure that a
proposed farm stand meets the additional special provisions, the County will be able to
retain the same level of oversight of proposed farm stands in the UAR-10 zone that it
has with respect to those in the EFU zone.
Two types of farm stands have been proposed. A farm stand, subject to site plan
review, must meet requirements A-E below. A farm stand, subject to site plan review
and conditional use review, must only meet requirements D and E below.
Quality Services Performed zvith Pride g4n: 0 B
A. The minimum lot size of the subject parcel is at least ten
(10) acres;
B. The subject parcel is receiving non-exclusive farm use
agricultural tax deferral;
C. The subject parcel is improved with a single-family
dwelling;
D. The structures are designed and used for the sale of farm
crops or livestock grown on the farm operation, or grown on the farm
operation and other farm operations in the local agricultural area,
including the sale of retail incidental items and fee-based activity to
promote the sale of farm crops or livestock sold at the farm stand if the
annual sale of incidental items and fees from the promotional activity do
not make up more than 25 percent of the total annual sales of the farm
stand; and
E. The farm stand does not include structures designed for
occupancy as a residence or for activity other than the sale of farm crops
or livestock and does not include structures for banquets, public
gatherings or public entertainment.
Requirements A and B were developed by the Applicant, in coordination with the
Planning Comissions, to ensure that farm stands not subject to conditional use review,
would not occur on small lots, or those not actually engaged in some significant
commercial agriculture. Requirement C was developed under the assumption that a
future applicant would be unlikely to place a farm stand out of scale or character with the
surrounding area on the same parcel with their dwelling. Requirements D and E are
taken from current farm stand requirement in the EFU zone.
This application has been reviewed by the Planning Commission at a hearing on March
28, 2008 and recommended by that Commission for approval by the Board. The City of
Bend has commented, recommending approval with only minor technical fixes. There
are presently no known opponents to this proposal.
STAFF DISCUSSION
Staff recommends Board approval of this amendment

SCHEDULE
This item is scheduled for a public hearing at the Board's regular meeting on March 24,
2008. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
STAFF REPORT
TO:
Deschutes County Planning Commission
FROM:
Will Groves, Senior Planner
DATE:
February 6, 2008
SUBJECT:
Text Amendment TA-07-8
Purpose
This application is for legislative text amendments to the Deschutes County Code
("Code") to include "farm stand" as a permitted use within the Urban Area Reserve
(UAR-10) zone.
II Background
The Applicant originally applied for an administrative determination to confirm that a farm
stand is an outright permitted use within the general definition of "farm use" and/or within
an accessory use category in the UAR-10 zone. The Applicant withdrew this
administrative determination, as it was unlikely to be approved by the Hearings Officer.
III. Public Notice
A Notice of public hearing announcing the Planning Commission Hearing was mailed on
December 30, 2008 to the Bend Bulletin and parties of record and was otherwise noticed
as required.
IV. Proposal
The applicant has proposed to make two specific text changes:
19.12.020. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted.
F. Farm stands subject to site review, DCC 19.76 and DCC 19.88.290.
and
19.88.290 Farm Stands Within UAR-10 Zone
1
Staff Report TA-07-8
Farm stands may be permitted within the UAR-10 zone subject to site
plan review, provided the following special use standards are also established-
A. The structures are designed and used for the sale of farm crops or
livestock grown on the farm operation, or grown on the farm operation and other
farm operations in the local agricultural area, including the sale of retail incidental
items and fee-based activity to promote the sale of farm crops or livestock sold at
the farm stand if the annual sale of incidental items and fees from the
promotional activity do not make up more than 25 percent of the total annual
sales of the farm stand: and
8. The farm stand does not include structures desiqned for occupancy as
a residence or for activity other than the sale of farm crops or livestock and does
not include structures for banquets, public gatherings or public entertainment.
V. Review Criteria
Deschutes County Code, Title 19
Chapter 19.04, Title, Purpose, Compliance And Definitions
Chapter 19.12, Urban Area Reserve Zone UAR-10
Chapter 19.76, Site Plan Review
Chapter 19.88, Provisions Applying To Special Use Standards
Deschutes County Code, Title 23
Chapter 23.48, Urbanization
VI. Analysis
Unlike Title 18 of the Code (which governs general County lands, including EFU lands),
Title 19 (which governs UAR-10 lands) does not currently contain a separate use
category for "farm stands." Farm uses, as defined in DCC Title 19, are listed as an
outright permitted use in the UAR-10 zone (DCC § 19.12.020(A)). DCC § 19.04 defines
"farm use" as follows:
"Farm use" means the current employment of land, including that
portion of such lands under buildings supporting accepted farming
practices, for the purpose of obtaining a profit in money by raising,
harvesting and selling crops, or by the feeding, breeding, management and
sale of, or the produce of, livestock, poultry, fur bearing animals or honey
bees, or for dairying and the sale of dairy products, or any other
agricultural or horticultural use or animal husbandry, or any combination
thereof. "Farm use" includes the preparation and storage of the products
raised on such land for human and animal use, and disposal by marketing
or otherwise. It does not include the use of the land subject to the
provisions of ORS 321, or to the construction and use of dwellings
customarily provided in conjunction with the farm use...
The proposed text amendments match the text set forth in Chapter 18.16, governing
farm stands the Exclusive Farm Use zone. Like the farm stands allowed in EFU zones
under 18.16, the proposed text amendments will require site plan review, in this case
under DCC Chapter 19.76. By requiring site plan approval and review to ensure that a
proposed farm stand meets the additional special provisions, the County will be able to
2
Staff Report TA-07-8
retain the same level of oversight of proposed farm stands in the UAR-10 zone that it
has with respect to those in the EFU zone.
The applicant suggests that farm stands may fall within the general definition of "farm
use", that the use proposed in this amendment is actually already allowed under the
definition of "farm use". Staff disagrees, as the definition of "farm use" is specific to the
property in question. Staff believes that the use proposed by this amendment exceeds
"farm use" by 1) the sale of farm crops or livestock grown on other farm operations and
2) the sale of retail incidental items and fee-based activities.
While farm stands have been explicitly allowed on agricultural lands, Staff notes that
there are some important differences between UAR-10 and EFU lands. EFU zoned
parcels are, on average, larger than UAR-10 parcels. The average EFU parcel is
approximately 126 acres and the average UAR-10 parcel is approximately 9.4 acres.
UAR-10 parcels are often adjacent to higher density County and City zoning areas.
Furthermore, approximately 35 percent of the roughly 400 UAR-10 zoned parcels are
less than 2 acres and approximately 20 percent of these parcels are less than one acre.
Staff imagines a potential scenario where the owner of a one-acre parcel, could
cultivate, for example, a single pumpkin for sale. Under this text amendment, that
property owner could then construct a farm stand. Because there are no lot coverage
requirements in the UAR-10 zone, only setbacks, site plan required landscaping, and
required parking areas limit the size of the farm stand structure. On a one-acre lot, Staff
estimates a 4,500 square foot farm stand requiring 15 parking spaces could potentially
be sited.
This farm stand, in addition to the pumpkin, could sell farm crops or livestock' grown on
other farm operations anywhere in Oregon 2. Also, this farm stand could also sell other
retail incidental items and conduct promotional activities. There are no specifications
governing these incidental items and promotional activities provided they do not make
up more than 25 percent of the total annual sales of the farm stand.
Staff is, therefore, concerned that the proposed amendment could potentially allow
commercial activity that would be inappropriate for small parcels and disruptive to
nearby residential use. Staff recommends that the proposed amendment be listed as a
conditional use in the UAR-10 zone. As a conditional use, farm stands would be subject
the general conditional use criteria of 19.100.030.
' OAR 660-033-0130(23)(d) "As used in this section, "farm crops or livestock" includes both fresh
and processed farm crops and livestock grown on the farm operation, or grown on the farm
operation and other farm operations in the local agricultural area. As used in this subsection,
"processed crops and livestock" includes jams, syrups, apple cider, animal products and other
similar farm crops and livestock that have been processed and converted into another product but
not prepared food items." Staff believes that this OAR definition of "local agricultural area" would
prevail without inclusion in the text amendment of a more specific definition.
2 OAR 660-033-0130(23)(d) "As used in this section, "local agricultural area" includes Oregon or
an adjacent county in Washington, Idaho, Nevada or California that borders the Oregon county in
which the farm stand is located." Staff believes that this OAR definition of "farm crops or
livestock" would prevail without inclusion in the text amendment of a more specific definition.
3
Staff Report TA-07-8
19.100.030, General Conditional Use Criteria.
A conditional use permit may be granted only upon findings by the
Planning Director or Hearings Body that the proposal meets all of the criteria
in DCC 19.100.030, as well as all other applicable criteria contained in DCC
Title 19. The general criteria are;
A. That the location, size, design and operating characteristics of
the proposed use are such that it will have minimal adverse impact on the
property value, livability and permissible development of the surrounding
area. Consideration shall be given to compatibility in terms of scale,
coverage and density with the alteration of traffic patterns and the capacity
of surrounding streets and to any other relevant impact of the proposed use.
B. That the site planning of the proposed use will, as far as
reasonably possible, provide an aesthetically pleasing and functional
environment to the highest degree consistent with the nature of the use and
the given setting.
C. That if the use is permitted outright in another zone, there is
substantial reason for locating the use in an area where it is only
conditionally allowed, as opposed to an area where it is permitted outright.
D. That the proposed use will be consistent with the purposes of
DCC Title 19, the Comprehensive Plan, Statewide Goals and any other
applicable statutes, ordinances or policies.
Staff believes these conditional use criteria provide important safeguards that would
ensure that any farm stand was suitable in size, appearance, and intensity of use to the
neighborhood in which it was located.
Other potential limits on this proposal that have been discussed include a 10-acre
minimum requirement. Staff supports this limitation, as it would likely increase setbacks
from farm stands to neighbors, reducing impacts.
Although requiring that the property be receiving farm tax deferral initially sounded
promising, the Assessor's Office commented that not all farmed lands receive farm tax
deferral. Because the farm tax deferral acts as a lien against the property, some
landowners do not apply for the farm tax deferral.
VII. Compliance with State Planning Goals
Goal 1 Citizen Involvement: Goal 1 requires local jurisdictions to provide notice of
proposed land use matters. This proposal has been noticed in the following manner.
1. DLCD
a. 45-Day Notice mailed DCLD on December 10, 2007.
2. Planning Commission noticed public hearing February 28, 2008.
a. Requested publication of 10-day notice in the Bend Bulletin on January 30, 2008.
b. Notice to interested agencies and parties of record January 30, 2008.
c. Published on the County's website January 10, 2008.
Goal 2 Land Use Planning: This proposal was reviewed under Goal 2 by Staff for
compliance and determined to meet the intent of the goal to be suitable and factual
4
Staff Report TA-07-8
information and is in accordance with the County's Comprehensive Plan Urbanization
Chapter.
VIII. Findings
Beyond procedural and noticing requirements (discussed above), no specific criteria
govern the proposed legislative text amendment. The Bend Urban Growth Boundary
Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan contains a number of aspirational goals
relating to Urban Reserve lands.
Chapter 19.12, URBAN AREA RESERVE ZONE UAR-10
19.12.010. Purpose.
To serve as a holding category and to provide opportunity for tax
differentials as urban growth takes place elsewhere in the planning area,
and to be preserved as long as possible as useful open space until needed
for orderly growth.
FINDING: The proposed text amendment would not have any adverse impact on a
future transition from rural to urban lands. Development of farm stands on UAR-10
zoned properties would not irrevocably or irretrievably commit these properties to farm
stand use and such development would not preclude other types of redevelopment
under future urbanization.
Chapter 23.48, URBANIZATION
23.48.020. Goals.
1. To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to
urban lands.
FINDING: The proposed text amendment would not have any adverse impact on a
future transition from rural to urban lands. Development of farm stands on UAR-10
zoned properties would not irrevocably or irretrievably commit these properties to farm
stand use and such development would not preclude other types of redevelopment
under future urbanization.
2. To assure that planning and implementation of plans in the
urban areas are consistent with the best interest of both urban and
urbanizing area residents.
FINDING: The proposed text amendment would afford urbanizing area residents in the
UAR-10 zone the opportunity to have farm stands in association with small-scale farms.
By making farm stand a conditional use, as suggested by Staff, neighbors are ensured
that any farm stand would be suitable in size, appearance, and intensity for the
neighborhood in which it was located.
3. To retain and enhance the character and quality of the urban
areas as growth occurs. To recognize and respect the unusual natural
beauty and character of the area.
FINDING: Staff believes that farm stands can enhance the character of areas with
existing small-scale agriculture. Required site plan review and conditional use review
5
Staff Report TA-07-8
would minimize and mitigate any adverse impacts to the unusual natural beauty and
character of the area.
4. To provide a sound basis for urbanization by establishing
proper relationships between residential, commercial, industrial and open
land uses; fostering intergovernmental cooperation; and providing an
efficient transportation system.
FINDING: Deschutes County has coordinated with the City of Bend on the application.
City Staff commented, "The applicant proposes amendments to the text of DCC
19.12.020 and 19.88. The City of Bend Long Range Planning staff supports the
amendments as proposed. We will continue to do so provided that the amendments
are based upon the regulations for farm stands in exclusive farm use zones under ORS
215 and OAR 660-033. " Section 19.76.050 allows the Planning Director to require that
H. Improvement, including, but not limited to, paving, curbing, installation
of traffic signals, constructing sidewalks, striping bike lanes, or other
improvements to the street system which serves the proposed use where the
existing street system will be burdened by the proposed use.
Therefore, Staff believes that any adverse impacts to transportation systems could and
would be minimized and mitigated.
5. To retain and enhance desirable existing areas and to
revitalize, rehabilitate and redevelop less desirable existing areas; to
encourage and promote innovations in development techniques in order to
obtain maximum livability and excellence in planning and design for
development.
FINDING: Staff believes that farm stands can enhance the character of areas with
existing small-scale agriculture. Required site plan review and conditional use review
would minimize and mitigate any adverse impacts to the unusual natural beauty and
character of the area.
VIIII. Conclusion and Recommendations
Staff believes that the proposed amendment will accomplish its goal of allowing farm
stands in the UAR-10 zone. No opposition to this amendment has been identified as of
the writing of this Staff Report.
Staff is concerned that the proposed amendment could potentially allow commercial
activity that would be inappropriate for small parcels and disruptive to nearby residential
use. Staff recommends that the proposed amendment be listed as a conditional use in
the UAR-10 zone. As a conditional use, farm stands would be subject the general
conditional use criteria of 19.100.030. Staff believes these conditional use criteria
provide important safeguards that would ensure that any farm stand was suitable in size,
appearance, and intensity of use to the neighborhood in which it was located.
6
Staff Report TA-07-8
Other potential limits on this proposal that have been discussed include a 10-acre
minimum requirement. Staff supports this limitation, as it would likely increase setbacks
from farm stands to neighbors, reducing impacts.
Although requiring that the property be receiving farm tax deferral initially sounded
promising, the Assessor's Office commented that not all farmed lands receive farm tax
deferral. Because the farm tax deferral acts as a lien against the property, some
landowners do not apply for the farm tax deferral.
