AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners Business Meeting of July 11, 2018
DATE: June 28, 2018
FROM: James Lewis, Property Management, 541-385-1414
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution No. 2018-029, Support for the City of
Redmond's Application to the DLCD Affordable Housing Pilot Project Initiative
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends approval and signature of Resolution 2018-029.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In the fall of 2017, the City of Redmond submitted pre -application materials to the State of Oregon Department of
Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for an affordable housing pilot program authorized by the State
Legislature in 2016 under House Bill 4079. The pilot program allows up to 50 acres of land to be added to a
recognized Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) without going through the normal UGB expansion process for the
purpose of providing affordable housing in at least 30% of the developed units. The pilot program includes
provisions for two cities to be awarded the program (one for a city with a population under 25,000 and one for a city
with a population over 25,000 - the City of Redmond qualifies for a City with a population over 25,000). Subsequent
to the pre -application review by the DLCD, the City of Redmond was invited to submit a full application to the
DLCD for consideration of award of the pilot program - the full application is due August 1, 2018.
One of the requirements of the full application is a Resolution of Support adopted by the governing body of the
County in which the City is located. Based on information prepared by City of Redmond Staff that describes the
overall project, the development process, and the anticipated results, the Board of Commissioners stated their support
for the project and the formal application submittal by the City. Based on that support, the attached Resolution
(Resolution 2018-029), with the rationale as stated therein, is presented for consideration and approval by the
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no direct fiscal implications resulting from the Resolution of Support. However, if the City of Redmond is
successful in its application and chosen for the pilot project, Deschutes County will negotiate with the City the terms
of a property transaction that conveys ownership of the 40 -acres from the County to the City, and eventually to a
master developer(s). Ultimately, upon development, the property will be included on the tax roll and will generate
taxable revenue to the County and applicable taxing districts.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends approval and signature of Resolution 2018-029.
ATTENDANCE: James Lewis, Property Manager
