III. CONCLUSIONARY FINDINGS:
A. CHAPTER 19.116 AMENDMENTS, APPEALS AND PROCEDURES
1. Section 119.116.010 Amendments
DCC Title 19 may be amended by changing the boundaries of zones
or by changing any other provisions thereof subject to the
provisions of DCC 19.166.
A. Text changes and legislative map changes may be proposed by
the Board of County Commissioners on its own motion, by the
motion of the Planning Commission, upon payment of a fee, by
the application of a member of the public. Such changes shall be
PAGE 2 OF 13 — EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
made pursuant to DCC 22.12 and ORS 215.110 and 215.606.
B. Any proposed quasi-judicial map amendments or change shall be
handled in accordance with the applicable provisions of DCC Title
22.
FINDING: The zone change to UA District and text amendments to the DCC are
legislative and are being processed pursuant to DCC 22.12. On June 8, 2017, the
Deschutes County Planning Commission held a work session to discuss the
proposed zone change and the proposed amendments. On June 28, 2017, the
BOCC will hold a public hearing and consider the zone change and code
amendments. This criterion has been met.
2. Section 19.116.020. Standards for Zone Change.
The burden of proof is upon the applicant. The applicant shall in all
cases establish:
A. That the change conforms with the Comprehensive Plan.
Specifically, the change is consistent with the plan's intent to
promote an orderly pattern and sequence of growth.
FINDING: The 2010 Remand Order on the City's proposed UGB expansion from the
Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) stated that the City and
County need to provide interim zoning for the lands added to the UGB that will
maintain the likelihood that it will be developed with the uses and intensity that the
city's underlying analysis of the capacity of the lands is based on. The Remand
Order also required the City and County to coordinate and clarify the applicability of
the City's Comprehensive Plan Map and Policies within the UGB expansion area.
On November 14, 2016, DLCD approved the UGB expansion, and on December 6,
2016, the amended Bend Comprehensive Plan and map designations went into
effect.
As part of the UGB expansion, the City applied specific Bend Comprehensive Plan
designations to the expansion areas consistent with the overall land need
determinations. In order to achieve the Bend Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies adopted as part of the UGB expansion, and reflect state laws requiring
consistency between Comprehensive Plans and zoning, development needs to
occur consistent with the underlying Bend Comprehensive Plan designations in the
urbanizable area. This is done through implementing development regulations that
are applicable during the interim until the land is annexed into the City. The UA
District is needed for the expansion areas to protect the land designations and policy
intent of the Bend Comprehensive Plan and preserve large areas of undeveloped or
rural land until properties annex into City limits. Once they are annexed, the UA
District zoning will cease and the zoning map will be updated with the zoning district
that implements the underlying Bend Comprehensive Plan map designation(s).
Therefore, compliance with this criterion has been met.
PAGE 3 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
B. That the change will not interfere with existing development,
development potential or value of other land in the vicinity of the
proposed action.
The UA District will regulate the use and division of the urbanizable land to maintain
its potential for planned urban development until the properties have either an
adopted area or master plan and are annexed into the City limits.
The UA District includes permitted land uses such as single-family detached
dwelling units, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), manufactured homes, home
occupations, farm stands, and bed and breakfast inns when allowed in the zoning
district that implements the underlying Bend Comprehensive Plan designation. The
District includes lot area (20 acres minimum) and dimension (lot coverage, setbacks
and building height) requirements and additional development provisions.
The UA District will allow an expansion or enlargement of 50 percent or less of an
existing lawfully permitted building and/or use in compliance with BDC Chapter 4.2,
Minimum Development Standards (MDS) Review, Site Plan Review and Design
Review. For an expansion or enlargement greater than 50 percent, the conditional
use criteria, standards and conditions within BDC Chapter 4.4, Conditional Use
Permits will also apply.
The UA District will help maximize the opportunity for landowners to realize the full
potential of urban development when they annex. The ability to develop a property
to the maximum level or density of development allowable under City zoning will
increase the economic or market value of a property. The lands included in the
2016 UGB expansion were those for which the landowners sought inclusion with
the goal of converting rural uses to urban uses as it increases development
potential and property values. Therefore, compliance with this criterion has been
met.
C. That the change in classification for the subject property is
consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed zone
classification.
FINDING: The UA District is intended to preserve large areas of undeveloped or
rural land for future urban development prior to annexation. The UA District
promotes the livability, stability, safety and improvement of the City of Bend by
allowing orderly development consistent with the Bend Comprehensive Plan. The
UA District will automatically be removed upon annexation to the City, and the
zoning that implements the Bend Comprehensive Plan designation for the property
will apply. Therefore, compliance with this criterion has been met.
D. That the change will result in the orderly and efficient extension
or provision of public services. Also, that the change is
PAGE 4 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
consistent with the County's policy for provision of public
facilities.
FINDING: The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Urban Growth
Management includes the following goal and policy regarding public facilities:
Goal 2
Coordinate with cities, special districts and stakeholders on urban
growth area zoning for lands inside urban growth boundaries but
outside city boundaries.
Policy 4.2.6
Develop urban growth area zoning with consideration of the type,
timing and location of public facilities and services provision
consistent with city plans.
FINDING: The City's Public Facility Plans (PFP) for water, sewer collection,
transportation, and stormwater are all adopted and acknowledged. The city
anticipates updating these PFPs in the coming years to reflect the newly expanded
UGB. The UA District creates a holding zone to maintain the urbanizable areas
potential for future urban development until appropriate urban facilities and services
are planned or available and annexation to the City of Bend can occur. Therefore,
compliance with this criterion has been met.
E. That there is proof of a change of circumstance or a mistake in
the original zoning.
FINDING: On November 14, 2016, DLCD approved the UGB expansion of 2,380
acres for the City of Bend, and on December 6, 2016, the amended Bend
Comprehensive Plan and map designations went into effect. The UGB expansion
provides the following acreages consistent with the overall land needs for housing,
employment, and parks and schools:
• 1,142 gross acres of residential land (including land for future schools and future
parks not yet in the Bend Parks and Recreation District [BPRD] or school district
ownership);
• 815 gross acres of employment land;
• 285 acres of land for public facilities currently in BPRD or school district
ownership; and,
• 138 acres of existing right-of-way within and fronting UGB expansion areas,
needed to provide urban street improvements to support growth in the expansion
areas.
Due to the adopted UGB expansion, the UA District is necessary for the expansion
areas to protect the plan designations and the policy intent of the Bend
Comprehensive Plan and to preserve large areas of undeveloped or rural land for
PAGE 5 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
future housing, employment, and parks and schools until properties annex into City
limits. Therefore, compliance with this criterion has been met.
3. Section 19.116.030. Record of Amendments.
FINDING: A signed copy of each amendment to the text of Titles 15, 17 and 19, and
the legal description of all lands rezoned legislatively will be maintained on file in the
office of the County Clerk.
4. Section 19.116.040. Resolution of Intent to Rezone.
FINDING: A resolution of intent was not part of this rezone application. The
application was processed in accordance to the Agreement Between the City of
Bend, Oregon, and Deschutes County, Oregon, for the Joint Management of the
Bend Urban Area. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable.
B. CHAPTER 22.12 LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURES

A legislative change may be initiated by application of individuals
upon payment of required fees as well as by the Board of County
Commissioners or the Planning Commission.
FINDING: Deschutes County and the City of Bend have been working together on
the proposed zone change and code amendments since November 2016. On April
11, 2017, the City Council and the BOCC held a joint work session and discussed
the proposed amendments. Following their review, they were supportive of moving
forward with the proposed zone change and code amendments to the DCC and
BDC. This criterion has been met.
4. Section 22.12.040. Hearings Body.
A. The following shall serve as hearings or review body for legislative

000191 -TA) will be implemented by Ordinances upon approval and adoption by the
Board; this criterion will be met.
C. OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
OAR 660, Division 12, Transportation Planning Rule
FINDING: OAR 660-012-0060 requires local governments to maintain consistency
between land use regulations and the transportation system plan and demonstrate
that planned transportation facilities will be adequate to serve planned land uses. It
addresses amendments to land use regulations as well as functional classification
systems.
Deferral of OAR 660-012-0060
OAR 660-024-0020: Adoption or Amendment of a UGB
(1) All statewide goals and related administrative rules are
applicable when establishing or amending a UGB, except as
follows:
***
(d) The transportation planning rule requirements under OAR 660-
012-0060 need not be applied to a UGB amendment if the land
added to the UGB is zoned as urbanizable land, either by
retaining the zoning that was assigned prior to inclusion in the
boundary or by assigning interim zoning that does not allow
development that would generate more vehicle trips than
development allowed by the zoning assigned prior to inclusion in
the boundary * * *.
FINDING: OAR 660-024-0020(1) allows cities to defer addressing the requirements
of OAR 660-12-0060 of the TPR (which requires a demonstration that there are
adequate planned transportation facilities to serve the planned development) until
property added to a UGB is re -designated or rezoned to allow urban development.
As part of the UGB acknowledgement, the City Council chose to defer addressing
the requirements of OAR 660-12-0060 of the TPR for the urbanizable areas and that
the transportation planning and TPR compliance will be accomplished with
annexation along with master or area planning. The City has language in the
adopted Development Code (4.6.600 Transportation Planning Rule Compliance) that
requires the following:
When a development application includes a proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment or land use district change, or both, the proposal shall be
reviewed to determine whether it significantly affects a transportation facility,
PAGE 8 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
in accordance with Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012-0060, (Ord, NS -
2016, 2006J.
The Council also found as part of the UGB acknowledgement that the amendments
to the urbanizable areas included new City of Bend Comprehensive Plan
designations to meet anticipated land needs until 2028. The zoning of the
urbanizable areas retained their existing rural Deschutes County zoning
designations. The land uses in the UA district are less than or equally intensive as
those currently allowed in the existing county zoning. No new land uses are
included in the UA district that would generate more vehicle trips than the uses
currently allowed under existing county zoning. When the urbanizable area is
rezoned to the UA District, the uses will be further limited and will not generate more
vehicle trips than development currently allowed under Deschutes County rural
zoning. Therefore, the transportation planning and TPR compliance will still be
accomplished with annexation along with master or area planning.
D. OAR 660, Division 15, Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines
FINDING: Findings regarding the Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines are
provided below:
Goal 1, Citizen Involvement, The City mailed notice required under ORS 227.186
(aka "Measure 56" notice) to 127 potentially affected landowners on April 26, 2017
that are located inside the UGB but outside the city limits, except for the land
withdrawn from the City of Bend by the County by City Resolution 2459, to notify
them of the Bend Planning Commission and BOCC public hearings. Notice of the
proposed Deschutes County zone change and amendment was provided to the
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) on May 22, 2017. A
notice of the June 28, 2017, BOCC public hearing was printed in the Bend Bulletin on
June 4, 2017. Staff has received 12 phone calls/emails regarding the proposed zone
change and code amendments.
On April 11, 2017, the City Council and the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners (BOCC) held a joint work session and discussed the proposed
amendments. The Bend Planning Commission held a work session on April 24,
2017, and discussed the proposed amendments. On May 22, 2017, the Bend
Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted (4-0) to recommend that the
City Council approve the amendments. The City Council held a public hearing on
June 7, 2017, and conducted the first reading. On June 21, 2017, the Council held a
second reading and voted to approve the amendments.
On June 8, 2017, the Deschutes County Planning Commission held a work session
to discuss the proposed zone change and text amendments. On June 28, 2017, the
BOCC will hold a public hearing and consider the zone change and text
amendments.
Based on these actions, Goal 1 for Citizen Involvement has been met.
PAGE 9 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
Goal 2, Land Use Planning, requires a land use planning process and policy
framework as a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land and to assure
an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. The Goal is met because
the County followed the land use planning process and policy framework in the
Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and DCC as a basis for the decisions and
actions related to the zone change and new regulations regarding the use of land
and to assure an adequate factual base for these decisions and actions. The
proposed amendments will be adopted by the BOCC after a public hearing. Multiple
opportunities were provided for review and comment by citizens and affected
governmental units during the preparation of this ordinance.
Goal 2 specifically states that minor plan changes should be based on special
studies or other information that will serve as the factual basis to support the
change. The public need and justification for the particular change should be
established, and must be supported by an adequate factual base. The Goal 2
requirement for an adequate factual base requires that a legislative land use
decision be supported by substantial evidence.
Through the adoption of the 2016 UGB expansion, the City applied specific Bend
Comprehensive Plan designations to the expansion areas consistent with the overall
land need determinations. The City also adopted several new chapters to the Bend
Comprehensive Plan related to Housing, Economy, and Growth Management. The
adopted policies were supported through the adoption of several technical reports
that were also incorporated as appendices to the Comprehensive Plan. These
appendices include the Buildable Lands Inventory, Housing Needs Analysis,
Economic Opportunities Analysis, and Urbanization Report. Together, these
appendices to the Comprehensive Plan represent the adequate factual base that
supports this legislative land use decision. The UA District is needed for the
expansion areas to protect the land designations and policy intent of the Bend
Comprehensive Plan until properties annex into City limits. Therefore, the proposed
amendments are justified and needed, and compliance with Goal 2 is maintained.
Goal 3, Agricultural Lands, Goal 4, Forest Lands, and Goal 5, Natural
Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces. Goals 3 and 4 are not
applicable because no lands are designated as either agricultural or forest lands in
the urbanizable area. Goal 5 is not applicable because these amendments do not
affect any regulation that implements Goal 5.
Goal 6, Air, Water and Land Resources Quality is not applicable because the
County's acknowledged regulations implementing Goal 6 remain in effect with no
change in applicability.
Goal 7, Areas Subject to Natural Hazards is not applicable because the UGB
adoption and proposed UA District does not include any areas where Goal 7 natural
hazards have either been identified or mapped.
PAGE 10 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
Goal 8, Recreational Needs is not applicable to the proposed DCC amendments
because the amendments do not limit any recreational uses in any zone. There are
no existing Goal 8 destination resorts affected by either the UGB expansion or the
proposed amendments. The proposed amendments do not include any
modifications to existing land use regulations for development of a destination resort.
Goal 9, Economic Development, is implemented through Oregon Administrative
Rule (OAR) Division 9, which is intended to ensure that each jurisdiction maintain an
adequate land supply for economic development and employment growth. The
acknowledged UGB expansion and related set of efficiency measures ensure an
adequate supply of land for economic opportunities in Bend by providing needed
types and amounts of employment lands in suitable locations as required by Goal 9,
and documented in the Economic Opportunity Analysis and Urbanization Report
(Appendices E and L to the Bend Comprehensive Plan). In order to protect the
economic lands (commercial, industrial and mixed-use) in the urbanizable areas, the
UA District will limit opportunities for housing and other limited rural uses prior to
annexation that will not interfere with future urban economic development as
contemplated by the Bend Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, compliance with Goal 9
is maintained.
Goal 10, Housing, requires provisions to provide for the housing needs of citizens
of the state. The acknowledged UGB expansion provides the land needed for future
population growth and has been plan designated so that housing is developed to
help achieve the City's needed mix of 55% single family detached, 10% single family
attached, and 35% multi -family housing. Bend Comprehensive Plan designations
have also been applied to the UGB urbanizable areas to accommodate the residual
housing units, consistent with the targeted housing mix established for the overall
UGB. Goal 10 is satisfied since the UA District will limit opportunities for rural uses
in the urbanizable areas prior to annexation that will not interfere with future urban
residential development as contemplated by the Bend Comprehensive Plan.
Goal 11, Public Facilities and Services. The UA District creates a holding zone to
maintain the urbanizable areas potential for future urban development until
appropriate urban facilities and services are planned or available and annexation to
the City of Bend can occur. The City's Public Facility Plans (PFP) for water, sewer
collection, transportation, and stormwater are all adopted and acknowledged. The
city anticipates updating these PFPs in the coming years to reflect the newly
expanded UGB. Based on the forgoing, the County finds that the proposal satisfies
Goal 11.
Goal 12, Transportation. To provide and encourage a safe and convenient and
economic transportation system. The Goal 14 Administrative Rule (OAR 660-24-
0020(1)(d)) recognizes that:
The transportation planning rule requirements under OAR 660-012-0060
need not be applied to a UGB amendment if the land added to the UGB
PAGE 11 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
is zoned as urbanizable land, either by retaining the zoning that was
assigned prior to inclusion in the boundary or by assigning interim
zoning that does not allow development that would generate more
vehicle trips than development allowed by the zoning assigned prior to
inclusion in the boundary.
OAR 660-024-0020(1) allows cities to defer addressing the requirements of OAR
660-12-0060 of the TPR (which requires a demonstration that there are adequate
planned transportation facilities to serve the planned development) until property
added to a UGB is re -designated or rezoned to allow urban development. As part of
the UGB acknowledgement, the City Council chose to defer addressing the
requirements of OAR 660-12-0060 of the TPR for the urbanizable areas by retaining
the existing Deschutes County rural zoning and that the transportation planning and
TPR compliance will be accomplished with annexation along with master or area
planning.
The UA District will further limit rural uses and not generate more vehicle trips than
development currently allowed under Deschutes County rural zoning and the
transportation planning and TPR compliance will still be accomplished with
annexation along with master or area planning. Therefore, compliance with Goal 12
is maintained.
Goal 13, Energy Conservation, requires land and uses developed on the land to
be managed and controlled to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy,
based upon sound economic principles. The recent acknowledgement of the UGB
considered energy in the evaluation and arrangement of the Bend Comprehensive
Plan land use designations in the urbanizable areas. The UA District is intended to
preserve the urbanizable areas for future urban development as contemplated by
the Bend Comprehensive Plan designations prior to annexation. Therefore,
compliance with Goal 13 is maintained.
Goal 14, Urbanization. The UA District will regulate the use and division of the
urbanizable land to maintain its potential for planned urban development until the
properties have an adopted area or master plan and are annexed into the City limits.
The UA District does not encourage sprawl or uncoordinated development. The UA
District will ensure land is not developed in ways that would prevent the orderly and
efficient transition from rural to urban land, and therefore compliance with Goal 14
has been met.
Goal 15, Willamette River Greenway, Goal 16, Estuarine Resources, Goal 17,
Coastal Shorelands, Goal 18, Beaches and Dunes, and Goal 19, Ocean
Resources are not applicable to the proposed rezone and DCC amendments.
Because the proposed code amendments are limited in scope, there are no other
Administrative Rules applicable to this amendment. Likewise, there are no
applicable Oregon Revised Statutes that are criteria applicable to these
PAGE 12 OF 13 - EXHIBIT G TO ORDINANCE 2017-009
amendments (Note, consistency with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) was
discussed previously in this document).
Based on the above discussion, the proposed zone change and text amendments to
the DCC are consistent with the statewide planning goals and therefore comply with
the requirement that the amendment be consistent with state land use planning law.
IV. CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided herein, The Board of County Commissioners
approve of the amendments to the Deschutes County Zoning Map and Zoning
Ordinance changing the zoning located in the unincorporated area inside the UGB
but outside the city limits, except for the land withdrawn from the City by the County
by City Resolution 2459, to Urbanizable Area (UA) District and amending the
Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapter 15.08 Signs, Title 17 Subdivisions, and Title
19 Bend Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, repealing Chapter 15.08A City of Bend Sign
Code Ordinance No. 1495 and Title 17A City of Bend Subdivision Ordinance No. NS
1349, and amending Title 19A and creating the Urbanizable Area (UA) District.

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners Business Meeting of June 28. 2017
DATE:
FROM: Matt Martin, Community Development, 541-330-4620
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Public Hearing on Update to City of Bend/Deschutes County Joint Management Agreement
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE?: Yes
*Documents for this agend item are included with the materials for public hearing on the
zone change and text amendments for the Urbanizable Area zone.*
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 190.010 enables local government to enter into agreements.
Deschutes County has Joint Management Agreements (JMAs) with all four municipalities. The
current Deschutes County / City of Bend JMA is intended to facilitate the orderly and efficient
development of land inside the UGB as well as Bend's Urban Area Reserve. Last amended in
1998, the cooperative agreement describes the rights and responsibilities of Deschutes County
and the City of Bend for reviewing comprehensive plan amendments, implementing
ordinances, land use actions, public improvement projects, enforcement, and other related
matters.
In 2016, the City of Bend and Deschutes County expanded the UGB to include 2,380 acres.
During the UGB expansion process, the State determined that Bend's Urban Area Reserve
(UAR) designation has no effect under state law other than recognizing that those areas
qualify as exceptions to Statewide Planning Goals 3 and 4. Based on that determination, the
City of Bend removed the UAR designation and various references from their Comprehensive
Plan.
The proposed revised JMA agreement establishes clear responsibilities within Bend's UGB
and removes any reference to the "Urban Area Reserve." With the exception of prohibiting
special water districts, there are no significant changes between the current and revised
versions of the JMA, On June 7, 2017, the Bend City Council held a public hearing to review
the agreement and unanimously approved the Revised JMA.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
ATTENDANCE: Matt Martin, Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
