COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Tanya Saltzman, AICP, Associate Planner
DATE: February 13, 2020
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Continuation: Sunriver Business Park Employee Housing Text
Amendments
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) will continue a public hearing on February 19, 2020 to
consider Ordinance No. 2020-004, text amendments to Deschutes County Code (DCC), Chapter
18.108.110, Sunriver Business Park District (SUBP) (File No. 247-19-000700-TA). The applicant,
Sunriver Resort Limited Partnership, proposes amendments that would allow employee housing as
an outright permitted use in the Sunriver Business Park zoning district. A work session was held with
the Board on February 3, 2020, for which the entire record was provided.' A public hearing was held
on February 12, 2020, at which time the hearing was continued until February 19.2
I. PROPOSAL
The proposed text amendments add employee housing structures to the outright permitted uses in
the Sunriver Business Park (SUBP) zone. The amendments provide definitions for "employee" and
"employee housing structure," and specify parking requirements. The applicant's burden of proof
states that the text amendment is in compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals, applicable
Oregon Administrative Rules, applicable policies of the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and
the county's Transportation System Plan.
Ill. BOARD HEARING AND CONTINUATION
One individual provided testimony at the initial Board public hearing, noting concerns about
enforcement, applicability to other unincorporated communities, employee eligibility, phasing,
1 https:Hdeschutescountyor.igm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=2492
2 https:Hdeschutescountyor.igm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=2494
bicycle parking, and transportation to Mount Bachelor, among other items (Attachment 1). In
addition, the Board requested clarification from the applicant about the definition of "employee"
relating to families, employment category, and the proposed geographical radius.
As a result, the applicant will revise the proposed text amendments, which will be shared with the
Board and distributed to the public prior to the hearing continuation date of February 19, 2020.
III. ADOPTION BY EMERGENCY
As noted in the Board work session and public hearing, if adopted the applicant intends to submit an
application, subject to DCC Chapter 124, Site Plan Review, to construct employee housing on a 3.25-
acre lot they own in the district. Owing to the seasonal nature of tourism employment and the need
for potential employees to secure housing prior to the beginning of the resort's high season, the
applicant respectfully requests consideration of adoption by emergency. This would allow for a
planning, permitting, and construction timeline that could potentially begin housing employees for
the 2021 summer resort season.
IV. NEXT STEPS
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board can:
Continue the hearing to a date certain;
Close the hearing and leave the written record open to a date certain; or
Close the hearing and commence deliberations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Tanya Saltzman, Associate Planner
DATE: February 6, 2020
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Sunriver Business Park Employee Housing Text Amendments
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) will conduct a public hearing on February 12, 2020 to
consider Ordinance No. 2020-004, text amendments to Chapter 18.108.110, Sunriver Business Park
District (SUBP) (File No. 247-19-000700-TA). The applicant, Sunriver Resort Limited Partnership,
proposes amendments that would allow employee housing as an outright permitted use in the
Sunriver Business Park zoning district. A work session was held with the Board on February 3, 2020,
for which the entire record was provided.'
The Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public hearing for the amendments on
November 14, 2019, which was continued to December 12, 2019. A summary of the Planning
Commission public hearing —including deliberation, vote, and public comments received —and an
overview of subsequent revisions to the amendments were provided in the February 3 BOCC
memorandum linked above. In addition, a synopsis of these will be provided in the staff presentation
at the public hearing.
I. PROPOSAL
The proposed text amendments add employee housing structures to the outright permitted uses in
the Sunriver Business Park (SUBP) zone. The amendments provide definitions for "employee" and
"employee housing structure," and specify parking requirements. The applicant's burden of proof
states that the text amendment is in compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals, applicable
Oregon Administrative Rules, applicable policies of the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and
the county's Transportation System Plan.

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to allow employee housing for those who earn a living
by working in the hospitality, food and beverage, outdoor recreation, or tourism industry in or within
two miles of the Sunriver Unincorporated Community boundary, or at Mt. Bachelor Ski and Summer
Resort. According to the applicant's burden of proof, lack of housing for employees has consistently

hearing, as well as those received in the week following the hearing in response to the Planning
Commission's vote, is provided in the February 3 BOCC memorandum.

the district. Owing to the seasonal nature of tourism employment and the need for potential
employees to secure housing prior to the beginning of the resort's high season, the applicant
respectfully requests consideration of adoption by emergency. This would allow for a planning,
permitting, and construction timeline that could potentially begin housing employees for the 2021

Hello
I wish to add some information about the Sunriver Resorts request to rezone the property in the business park to
house there employees. Sunriver Resort hires temporary foreign workers by the hundreds each year. We at SSA
enumerate these individuals for the resort they are called J1 "students". You may recall the J1 students were
involved in the 911 assault agains the US. Additionally, J1's were involved in the recent assault at an airforce training
area that killed employees.
J1's are temporary workers from a foreign country. They are suppose to be vetted but given the issues that I have
mentioned above not sure if housing them in the business area of Sunriver is a good fix. The J1's are like having
thousands of visitors in the area and then they are gone. They come in large groups.
Seems the planning commission is concerned about parking while they should be concerned about safey issues. The
K-8 school is right there. The library is right there. Would you want your kids in or around college aged J1's in those
numbers? How many officers will be needed to make sure that the J1's stay on there campus?
Major concern is simply safety. Can you forward this to the committee?

Senator Kathleen Taylor and Representative Jeff Reardon, Co -Chairs
joint Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Natural Resources
900 Court St. NE, S-423 and H-473
Salem, OR 97301
Dear Co -Chairs Taylor and Reardon, and Members of the Committee:
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners opposes Senate Bill 1530 and asks that members of the Oregon Legislature not pass it during
the 2020 session. All of us Commissioners have long supported efforts at clean water, clean air and positive energy options for our state and
nation. However, we also believe that any measure this divisive should be passed only by a vote of the people of Oregon. The anticipated
costs and debated benefits are both too significant.
Senate Bill 1530 mandates a "climate change" policy that will raise prices for transportation fuels, natural gas and propane. These costs will
force financial hardship on our region's small business owners, rural citizens, local manufacturers, farmers and trucking companies. We worry
that Central Oregon will suffer and see jobs lost as local businesses close and move out of state. Creating this competitive disadvantage,
especially in our state's rural and non -metro areas, doesn't make sense.
We also have concerns about the impact Senate Bill 1530 will have on gas taxes for day to day living. Adding an additional 22 cents to each
gallon of gas (which would grow to $3.00 per gallon) -- on top of the 36 cents Oregonians pay now -- will create unnecessary hardship for
many, including young families, fixed -income seniors, and so many other County residents who are already struggling with our region's high
cost of living. It is more difficult to calculate the impacts from increases planned to natural gas and propane sources. We also worry that
recently introduced amendments that would affect Bend but exempt other areas of Deschutes County from certain regulations will cause
undue confusion and serious economic distortions.
Senate Bill 1530 will impact the cost of doing business for our County and counties and cities around the state. For instance we estimate a
financial impact of more than $109,317 on our County fleet, in annual costs due to impacts from the increasing cost of fuel. More significantly,
the bill will tax non -County auto and truck traffic in our County between $10 to $11 million annually.
We strongly encourage you to oppose Senate Bill 1530. We think all Oregonians can agree that a policy that puts Oregon's businesses on an
un-level playing field with their out-of-state competitors elsewhere is simply not good policy.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact any of the Commissioners listed below or Laura Skundrick,
Deschutes County Administrative Analyst by phone at 541-330-4627 or by email at Lau ra.Skundrick@deschutes.org.

RE: Deschutes County Support for Rural ADU Amendments to HB 4014
Dear Chair Dembrow:
We are very supportive of the newly released -6 amendments to House Bill 4014, which would permit rural ADUs
on residential lands. As you know, Deschutes County is Oregon's fastest growing county and we face a critical
shortage of affordable housing options for our growing population. If this topic is not addressed in this year's
short session, we will be even further behind in addressing our region's growing housing needs.
The proposed amendments will allow us to:
• Provide housing without significant public resources;
• Increase the supply of rental, supportive and multigenerational housing;
• Legalize some existing, unpermitted second dwelling units; and
• Increase the affordability of housing by allowing property owners to purchase or maintain a home with
rental income from the ADU or from the primary dwelling if living in the ADU.
We know that in other parts of the state, there has been concern that allowing rural ADUs will negatively impact
the rural nature of Oregon's farmland. That is not the case in Deschutes County. We have a large number of rural
home sites not connected to farm use. Also, substantial support for this measure exists in our County. Allowing
rural ADUs could be a valuable tool in helping us alleviate the housing shortage we are currently experiencing. We
encourage the Committee to provide local control to counties to determine development standards and
limitations governing ADUs as is currently referenced in the -6 amendments.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact any of the Commissioners below or
Laura Skundrick, by phone at 541-330-4627 or by email at Laura.Skundrick@deschutes.org.
Sincerely,
DE�CHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
