Board Decision on Whether to Hear Appeals of Decisions on the KCDG/TID Reservoirs and Ski Lake Project (Order No. 2016-010): Anthony Raguine, Senior Planner/Community Development Department reported the Deschutes County Hearings Officer has issued a denial to establish the reservoir at the Klippel Surface Mine site. Two appeals have been filed and the staff memo details the information of both appeals. The Hearings Officer found the proposed recreational use does not comply with all applicable site plan and conditional use approval criteria because it is not compatible with the surrounding natural environment and existing rural residential uses due to its scale, intensity, and duration. Staff is recommending the Commissioners not hear the appeal, as it may be premature since the property is not on the non- significant mineral and aggregate resource list. At this time, the Commissioners may consider the record developed before the Hearings Officer, the notices of appeal, and recommendations of staff. If the Commissioners decide to hear the appeal they could reinforce or refute some or all of the Hearings Officer's findings prior to LUBA review. The Commissioners could also decide not to hear the appeal. The applicant is requesting the hearing. Discussion held on whether to hear and if de novo or limited. Mr. Raguine will return to the Wednesday morning BOCC Business Meeting. Board of Commissioners' Work Session Agenda Monday, February 8, 2016 Page 2 of 5 4.

Being selected for this program will enhance La Pine's efforts to build a strong regional economy with tourism as a thriving component. La Pine is a jewel in south Deschutes County. The major Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers run close to the town center and many nearby prairies offer panoramic vistas. A community among thousands of tall pines, close to the Cascade lakes and the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, it boasts spectacular outdoor recreation opportunities through its hometown slogan, "The Outdoors at Your Front Door." For the past decade, La Pine has engaged the community in meaningful activities to develop and implement an economic vitality roadmap. One of the main priorities for this process is a focus on community image development. This year, the Chamber is partnering with a local marketing firm to work with residents on developing cohesive messaging that highlights the region and all that it has to offer. Projects like this demonstrate the community's willingness to engage and implement projects that grow the region's economy. The opportunity you're offering is a fantastic opportunity for the residents of southern Deschutes County to continue and expand this work. We greatly appreciate your consideration of this application.

Box 6005 117 NW Lafayette Avenue Bend, Oregon 97708-6005 (541)388-6575 FAX (541)385-1764 http://www.co.deschutes.or.us/cdd/ MEMORANDUM DATE: February 5, 2016 TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Anthony Raguine, Senior Planner RE: Appeals of Hearings Officer Decisions on KCDG/TID (247-15-000226-CU, 227- CU 228-LM, 383-MA, 384-SP, 385-V) Before the Board of County Commissioners (Board) are two timely appeals filed in response to the Deschutes County Hearings Officer's (HO) denial of the above-referenced land use applications. One appeal was filed by the applicant, KC Development Group (KCDG). The other was filed by an opponent, Thomas and Dorbina Bishop, Trustees of the Bishop Family Trust. Both appellants request de novo review. BACKGROUND The subject property consists of approximately 155 acres in thirteen contiguous tax lots. Tax Lots 824 and 828 were the site of the Klippel Surface Mine (former SM Site 294) previously zoned Surface Mining (SM). When mining and reclamation of Site 294 was completed, the mine was rezoned to Rural Residential (RR-10). The property has approximately 55 acres of irrigation water rights administered by the Tumalo Irrigation District (TID). The property is developed with two man-made, lined reservoirs filled with water. On August 4, 2014, TID submitted a Land Use Compatibility Statement (LUCS) associated with a water right transfer application to the Oregon Water Resources Department. On April 8, 2015, the Board concurred with a HO decision, and issued the LUCS stating land uses to be served by the proposed water uses involve discretionary land use approvals; specifically conditional use permits. In response to the Board's LUCS decision, KCDG/TID submitted land use applications to make lawful previous surface mining that created two reservoirs on the subject property. The applications also included a request to establish a recreation-oriented facility requiring large acreage, consisting of private motorized boating and water skiing on the southern reservoir, and approval of a variance to the yard setbacks for the southern reservoir. Public hearings were conducted on July 1 and September 29, 2015. On January 21, 2016, the HO denied the applications for the following reasons (Attachment 1): Quality Services Performed with Pride Reservoirs Surface mining of a non-Goal 5 site is governed by Deschutes County Code (DCC) section 18.128.280. Pursuant to this section, surface mining is not permitted unless and until the subject property is placed on the county's comprehensive plan inventory of non-significant mineral and aggregate resource sites. Additionally, the HO found the surface mining creating the southern reservoir is not compatible with the surrounding natural environment and rural residential development considering its scale, the steepness of its banks, and the lack of vegetation adjacent to and surrounding the reservoir. Recreational Use of Southern Reservoir The HO found the proposed recreational use does not comply with all applicable site plan and conditional use approval criteria because it is not compatible with the surrounding natural environment and existing rural residential uses due to its scale, intensity and duration. KCDG APPEAL KCDG appeals the HO decision for the following reasons (Attachment 2): 1. Public Benefit: Approval of the applications will implement an innovative public/private partnership. 2. Path Forward: The HO decision describes a path forward based on additional mitigation measures, the opportunity to provide additional factual evidence, and alternative code interpretation. 3. Correction of Legal and Factual Errors: The HO denial was based on factual errors and misconstruction of the code. The appeal will allow the Board to correct these errors. 4. Unintended Consequences: The HO decision would turn already constructed projects into code violations, and creates new and unreasonable standards for future conditional uses. KCDG requests full de novo review and agrees to restart the 150-day land use clock upon the date the Board accepts review of their appeal. BISHOPS APPEAL The Bishops state the HO decision is difficult to follow, inconsistent and not cohesive. Additionally, the Bishops argue their appeal should be granted to address findings on the following issues (Attachment 3): 1. KCDG must obtain a zone change to allow surface mining on private property because the surface mining was not in conjunction with an irrigation district. 2. KCDG and TID must obtain conditional use approval for a cluster development. 3. The graveled westerly road must be removed. 4. Water skiing and recreational use of both reservoirs is prohibited under DCC 18.88.040(B). 5. Both reservoirs violate the setback requirements. 6. Any findings under 18.128.280 are premature and/or inadequate. 7. The record should reflect that the Oregon Water Resources Department has withdrawn its limited license to allow KCDG to store any water in the reservoirs, and entered an Order that storage of water in the reservoirs is illegal. File Nos.: 247-15-000226-CU, 227-CU, 228-LM, 383-MA, 384-SP, 385-V Page 2 of 4 8. The HO's alternative conditions of approval are untimely and do not protect the interest of the public and neighbors. The Bishops request full de novo review and respectfully request up to 45 minutes to present their arguments during any appeal hearing before the Board. BOARD OPTIONS Attachment 4 contains two versions of Order No. 2016-010. In determining whether to hear an appeal, the Board may consider only: 1. The record developed before the Hearings Officer; 2. The notices of appeal; and 3. Recommendations of staff. Reason to hear: • The Board may want to take testimony and make interpretative issues relating to the application. The Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) will be obligated to defer to the Board's interpretation if they are at least plausible. The Board may want to reinforce or refute some or all of the Hearing Officer's findings/interpretations prior to LUBA review. Reason not to hear: • The Hearings Officer's decision is reasoned, well written and could be supported as the record exists today on appeal. • Both appellants may challenge the Hearings Officer's decision at LUBA. If the Board decides that the Hearings Officer's decision shall be the final decision of the county, then the Board shall not hear the appeal and the party appealing may continue the appeal as provided by law. The decision on the land use application becomes final upon the mailing of the Board's decision to decline review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION As noted above, surface mining of a non-Goal 5 site is governed by DCC section 18.128.280. Subsection (D)(2) includes the following requirement: A permit for mining of aggregate shall be issued only for a site included on the County's non-significant mineral and aggregate resource list. The subject property is not included on the County's non-significant mineral and aggregate resource list. Unless and until the subject property is placed on this list, staff believes it would be premature to consider the conditional use and site plan applications to establish the reservoirs and ski lake. For this reason, staff recommends the Board not hear the appeals. Should the Board agree to hear the appeal, staff notes there has been significant public interest in this project. 1 DCC 22.32.035(B) and (D) File Nos.: 247-15-000226-CU, 227-CU, 228-LM, 383-MA, 384-SP, 385-V Page 3 of 4 150-DAY LAND USE CLOCK Pursuant to DCC 22.32.027, the applicant has submitted a written request to restart the 150-day land use clock on the date the Board agrees to hear the applicant's appeal.

The two environmental groups are asking the Court for changes to the annual operations of three reservoirs (Crane Prairie, Crescent, and Wickiup) that were authorized and constructed for the purpose of supplying irrigation water supplies to our communities. Over the years, these facilities have successfully provided flood protection and recreation, and have helped to sustain an instrumental part of Oregon's agricultural production in an increasingly competitive international marketplace. Thousands of families rely on these water supplies for their businesses, for small gardens, horses, and other livestock. Other businesses, including insurance, law, finance, equipment, utilities, custom harvesting, and many, many others, serve these families and their businesses. Thousands of jobs throughout Oregon are dependent on the reliable delivery of the water supplies from these reservoirs. Our cities and counties rely upon these businesses, which are stable sources of tax revenue, to support important services throughout our region. Local businesses help sustain our schools, fire departments, police departments, and many other critical social services. Any loss of water from our economy may significantly affect not only hundreds of family farm and ranch families, but other businesses, and ultimately the social services our cities and counties are able to provide. Oregon has seen this same scenario play out many times in many other parts of the state. All of you understand this problem, and its result - hard working Oregon families, who have done nothing wrong, are forced to bear the burden of national environmental goals imposed by courts. We understand the three districts, their landowners, and other districts, have undertaken a collaborative, science-based initiative called the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan, with the goal of improving habitat for several species including the Oregon spotted frog, which is the subject of the lawsuits. Over 20 stakeholders, including local, state, and federal agencies, districts, conservation groups, and others have participated in this effort. Apparently unhappy with this collaborative effort, the two environmental groups are now seeking to use the Court to deprive the people of central Oregon from any meaningful role in managing this region's water supplies and improving fish and wildlife habitat. This is the only effort that will produce an pP p g acceptable, sustainable, long-term solution for our region's economy and environment. We are calling upon you to personally engage with your colleagues to support this collaborative process and prevent an unacceptable social, economic, and even environmental disaster in our region. Our communities have worked too hard for too long to improve environmental values and should not now be penalized for collaboration.

Implementation of the bill would streamline and enhance the ease of use of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program with better integration into existing technology. It would increase access to Naloxone, a drug that can save the lives of persons overdosing from opioids, by allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense this drug, and allowing administration by certain non-medical providers with appropriate training. The bill also allows for an employee of a social service agency who has completed the appropriate training to administer Naloxone to a patron of the agency on the premises of the agency. With this letter, we respectfully express our support for the draft amendment that would expand this administration beyond the premises of the agency, as this is often not where a person experiencing an overdose is identified. Thank you for bringing this important life-saving legislation forward.

We are committed to ensuring that our residents receive quality emergency medical services and expect that our providers are compensated appropriately. Under the provisions of this bill, an emergency medical services provider is eligible to receive supplemental reimbursement for the cost of providing services to an Oregon Health Plan member.This supplemental reimbursement added to the payment for the emergency medical service is reasonable since it may not exceed the provider's actual costs for the service.

Most prominent in the discussion was marijuana production(grows) in the rural areas of Deschutes County. Outstanding concerns emerged with regard to: • Infringement on right-to-farm protections • Uncertainty and ambiguity of HB 3400 reasonable regulation opportunities • Potential for protracted legal challenges with uncertain outcomes. The purpose of this letter is to highlight and outline these specific issues and concerns. Deschutes County respectfully requests the 2016 Legislature to: 1. Clarify and define, "reasonable time,place, and manner regulations"in BB 3400 (2015) including how it relates to Oregon's right-to-farm law. Without defining"reasonable regulations,"LUBA or higher courts will provide clarity of its meaning through appeals or other legal remedies when regulations are adopted, applied or implemented. The appeals process will require significant time and money by all parties involved and result in tremendous uncertainty until final resolutions/decisions are reached. In addition, we believe LUBA or the courts may nullify county reasonable time,place and manner regulations due to conflicts with the right-to-farm law in the EFU leaving local jurisdictions and surrounding property owners with only minimal mitigation measures as provided by the OLCC rules. 2. Amend or interpret Oregon's Right-to-Farm Law to allow counties to adopt regulations to mitigate sight, sound, smell,location, security, etc. of recreational marijuana production and processing. In addition, clarify that Oregon's Right-to-Farm Law only applies to crops lawfully allowed under federal law. 3. Amend state law to treat medical and recreational marijuana production the same in terms of land use permitting,under the same state agency authority,and with the same or consistent decision making processes (i.e.,Land Use Compatible Statements). BACKGROUND 1 PRODUCTION OF MARIJUANA IS A FARM USE Section 34(1)(a)of 1113 3400 specifies that marijuana is a crop for the purposes of"farm use"as defined in ORS 215.203. Section 34(1)(b)states that marijuana qualifies for the protections, and limits on regulation afforded to all other farm crops(i.e.tomatoes,hay, etc.). Proponents of marijuana businesses and the Farm Bureau have asserted that the provisions of Section 34 preclude regulation of the concerns and impacts identified by staff,the public and others (i.e., odor, noise,visual). OREGON RIGHT TO FARM PROTECTIONS Oregon has established a right-to-farm law to protect"...farming... practices from legal actions that may be intended to limit, or have the effect of limiting, farming... practices"(ORS 30.933(1)(c)). ORS 30.930(2) finds that"Farming practice"means a mode of operation on a farm that: (a)Is or may be used on a farm of a similar nature; (b)Is a generally accepted,reasonable and prudent method for the operation of the farm to obtain a profit in money; (c)Is or may become a generally accepted,reasonable and prudent method in conjunction with farm use; (d)Complies with applicable laws; and (e)Is done in a reasonable and prudent manner. ORS 30.935 prohibits local laws that make farm practices a nuisance or trespass. For this purpose,ORS 30.932's definition of"nuisance"or"trespass"includes but is not limited to actions or claims based on noise,vibration, odors,smoke, dust,mist from irrigation,use of pesticides and use of crop production substances. Traditionally,this has been interpreted to mean that a local government may not adopt time,place,and manner regulations that limit farming practices such as additional setbacks,noise and odor control,visual screening,and other design or operational standards. Therefore, as noted above,the concerns and impacts expressed could not be addressed. "REASONABLE REGULATION" OF RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA PRODUCERS Sections 33 of BB 3400 allows local jurisdictions to adopt ordinances that impose"reasonable regulations"on the operation of recreational marijuana producers,processors,wholesalers, and retailers. More specifically, Section 33(1)(a)provides opportunity for"Reasonable conditions on the manner in which a marijuana producer[licensed by MCC] may produce marijuana."The legislation does not define "reasonable regulation"or provide examples of what reasonable regulations or conditions may be. 2 The concern is that establishing"reasonable regulations"on marijuana production located in the Exclusive Farm Use zone would constitute limitation of farming practices and,thereby violate the provisions of the right-to-farm protections previously cited. Perhaps,the intent was to allow"reasonable regulations"for marijuana producers not located in the EFU zone. Consequently,the courts,rather than the Legislature,may be the authority that interprets and,by default, defines what constitutes a"reasonable regulation." OREGON FARM BUREAU COMMENTS In a letter dated December 7, 2015,Jenny Dresler, Oregon Farm Bureau Federation Director of State Public Policy, cited concerns"...about Deschutes County's proposal to impose setbacks,noise and odor restrictions,and other regulations on cannabis. Such regulation of an agricultural commodity invites right to farm litigation on a highly politicized commodity and creates a risk of regulation of cannabis being used as precedent to regulate other agricultural commodities." Ms.Dresler further stated that the Oregon Farm Bureau"...has long fought to protect and support producers' right to farm free from burdensome regulation and to protect producers from a"not in my backyard"mentality regarding the dust,odors, and noise that are inherently part of production agriculture.We encourage you to reconsider your decision to regulate nuisance associated with cannabis and adopt regulations which ensure that it is treated like any other agricultural commodity." LOCAL CONDITIONS Statewide Planning Goal 3 requires counties to preserve and maintain agricultural lands. However, in discussions on the future of agriculture in Deschutes County,there are still differences of opinion over which lands should be designated farm lands and which should not, as well as what land uses should be allowed. Farm lands contribute to the County in a number of ways. Agriculture is part of the ongoing local economy. Wide-open farm lands offer a secondary benefit by providing scenic open spaces that help attract tourist dollars. Farm lands also contribute to the rural character that is often mentioned as important to residents. Finally,it should be noted that agricultural lands are preserved through State policy and land use law because it is difficult to predict what agricultural opportunities might arise,and once fragmented the opportunity to farm may be lost. On the other hand,there is widespread agreement that much of Deschutes County's designated farm land is marginal at best,particularly without irrigation. The climate,especially the short growing season, makes commercial farming challenging and usually a losing proposition financially. Statewide Planning Goal 3 does not really account for the conditions in Deschutes County,resulting in agricultural zoning being applied to land with no history of farming and limited potential for profitable farming. The small size of agricultural parcels adds significantly to the challenges. It has been argued that preserving farm lands benefits the wider public at the expense of agricultural landowners. There is considerable pressure to convert agricultural land to residential or other uses. The debate is complicated because there are impacts to the farming community from converting agricultural lands to other uses. It can be challenging for a farmer who has residential neighbors because farming activities can have noise, odor and/or dust impacts. The right-to-farm law discussed earlier offers some protection to farmers,but as residential uses grow there is pressure to convert,leading to a greater loss of agricultural lands. 3 The introduction of marijuana production into these farming areas,particularly those areas of smaller lotting patterns and nonfarm residential development,highlights the compatibility concerns expressed by both-.farm-and-nonfarrn,...rural-residential.property-owners.....Theznique conditions._and_development _..___.. patterns present in Deschutes County only amplify the concerns of these diverse populations and the challenge in mitigating potential impacts to maintain compatibility nearby land uses. We continue to work collaboratively with the Department of Land Conservation and Development to initiate rulemaking to develop a statewide"non-resource lands program"to allow counties to accurately designate rural lands that do not meet the state's definitions of agricultural or forest lands such as those in our county. Please find attached maps of the Exclusive Farm Use(EFU)Zone in Deschutes County showing the number and size of lots. TREAT MEDICAL& RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA THE SAME Medical and recreational marijuana land uses should be regulated and reviewed subject to the same standards and under the same state and local agencies. Combining the programs ensures consistencies and efficiencies in the administrating the program(s), application review and decision making, enforcement, and customer service across the state. Most of the marijuana producers,neighbors, and impacts will be the same. Creating one integrated program will enable state and local governments to provide a high level of customer service to interested parties on all sides of this issue rather than navigating between different programs resulting in confusion, misinformation or misunderstandings, and unneeded complexity and cost. Please know this action is very important as Deschutes County decides how to move forward with local marijuana regulations in the coming months. Thank you for your consideration.

In 2015,as part of the ongoing effort to continue improvement of commercial air service to the tri-county region,the Central Oregon Air Service Team (COAST) in partnership with the Redmond Airport,applied for a federal Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP)grant. The purpose of that grant was to help attract daily service to Sky Harbor International Airport(PHX) in Phoenix,Arizona. Redmond was successful in that application,and along with 9 other airports across the country that competed against 60 applicants,won a$500,000 award for an airline revenue guarantee fund specifically to attract daily service to Phoenix. A revenue guarantee fund covers losses in months or quarters that the airline loses money on service to small airports like Redmond. Part of competitive criteria for the federal grant was for the region to match federal funds with local cash,marketing and other contributions to entice an air carrier to the market. In addition to marketing (both in our region and in the greater Phoenix area),and reduced fees at the airport,our successful application included raising at least$100,000 in cash from the region's governments and local businesses to be combined with the$500,000 revenue guarantee award. This mirrors the successful effort to attract daily service to Los Angeles International Airport(LAX)in 2013. Today's work to attract PHX service differs in that no prepaid travel campaign was offered,otherwise known as an Airline Travel Bank(ATB). Why Phoenix? For years, PHX has been COAST's#1 priority. First,it is at the top"true market" (where people are already flying)for our region that does not currently have direct air service. Second, it has grown to be the 6th largest metro area in the U.S., and with that growth it has significant high technology, bioscience,and medical industries—all targets for our regional economic development. Additionally,we believe there are excellent opportunities for seasonal tourism growth in this market. In short,there is no other new market that is more logical for the Redmond Airport and our region to pursue. Proposed Scenarios In 2013,Central Oregon cities and counties contributed a total of$90,000 to attract LAX service. COAST proposes that a total of approximately$80,000 be contributed for PHX service from cities and counties and the$20,000 balance from private businesses and organizations in the region. There are several methodologies to attempt to make public contributions equitable. This contribution scenario is outlined in the last column of the table below, along with what was contributed by each public entity in 2013. Proposed Contribution-PHX Service 2013 Contribution *2014 $0.38 per Capita Area (LAX) Population allocated pop.only) Crook County $10,000 20,780 - Prineville $4,000 9,385 $3,566 Unincorporated Crook Co. - 11,395 $4,330 Deschutes County $25,000 166,400 - Bend $15,000 79,985 $30,394 La Pine - 1,670 - Redmond $20,000 26,770 $10,173 Sisters $3,000 2,190 $832 Unincorporated+La Pine 55,785 $21,833 ;Jefferson County $8,000 22,205 - Culver - 1,380 - Madras $5,000 6,260 $2379 Metolius - 700 - Unincorporated+Culver and Metolius - 13,865 $5,820 Tri-County Total $90,000 209,385 $79,327 'Source:Population Reserart:ir Center,PSU. .2014 data is for July 1„2014 estimates. In 2013,the Redmond Chamber graciously volunteered to help with the collection of these funds and disbursement to the airline during the two-year contract covered by the service and revenue guarantee agreement. This time around,the Bend Chamber has preliminarily expressed interest in playing this important role. Timing Timing for securing funds for the$100,000 match should match up with the 2016-17 fiscal year since new service would not start until after runway construction(and closure)is complete in late May of this year. As such,funding could be contributed from either the current fiscal year, next fiscal year or a portion from both. That said,time is of the essence for this project. COAST is working with a specific airline,which would like to execute an air service agreement with the Redmond Airport within the next two weeks. Typical air service is announced publicly at least 30 days in advance of it being loaded into the national system,which happens 90 days before the service starts. Future Air Service Recruitment COAST hoped to have a dedicated source of funding for the local match to the federal SCASDP Grant developed for our anticipated timing of PHX service in 2017.Obviously,that timeline was accelerated and it is critical that we capitalize on the current opportunity now. But efforts will continue this year to make that happen-most likely within the borders of Deschutes County alone. Ideally this will be the final "pass the hat"effort COAST will have to bring you and your communities for air service recruitment.
