SUBJECT: Community Development / Current and Long Range Planning Staffing Request
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to request reinstatement of two Planning Division FTEs eliminated
during the FY 21 budget process to meet business demands as discussed below. The table below
summarizes the Division's staffing levels in November 2019, currently, and proposed for December 1,
2020.

Note: Senior Transportation Planner Peter Russell is funded 50/50 by CDD and the Road Department, and splits his time
equally between current and long range planning projects.
The Community Development Department (CDD) submitted a FY 2020-21 requested budget, which
included sustaining the department's 58 existing FTEs. During the budget process, the Budget
Committee eliminated two (2) vacant planning FTEs due to the economic unknowns of the COVID-19
pandemic.
The two (2) FTE were vacant for the following reasons:
• The assistant planner position was vacated by staff promoted to associate planner in February
2020. The position was posted and interviews occurred in March 2020. Just prior to offering the
position to the top applicant, a hiring freeze was implemented.
• The associate planner position was vacated the end of May 2020 due to staff relocation. The
position was not posted due to the hiring freeze and was then eliminated during the budget
process.
Specifically, the Division proposes to:
• Reinstate one (1) full time assistant planner in our current planning division to respond to large
and increasing phone, email, and counter demands as well process low level land use
applications.
• Reinstate one (1) full time regular associate planner and reclassify as a senior planner in our
long range planning division to manage current and forthcoming projects.
II. PERMIT VOLUMES, CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS & PROJECTS
Planning Division application volumes and customer inquiries (calls, emails, and counter) decreased
during the first few months of the pandemic, but quickly returned to normal levels in June and have
continued at high levels since then.
The graph below highlights land use applications submitted during the first quarter of each fiscal year
(July 1 through September 30) from FY 2017 through FY 2021.

Challenges:
• The Planning Division is operating at capacity and may not meet performance measures for land
use turn -around times.
• Counter customer volume and phone calls are increasing with out -of -region contacts from
people seeking to relocate to rural Deschutes County.
• The complexity of land use applications continues to increase. While the FY 2021 numbers are
below FY 2018 and FY 2019 volumes, the types of applications submitted are more complex,
requiring additional staffing resources to review and process.
• Planner involvement and participation in a record number of code enforcement cases and highly
complex violations.
• Regular participation in pre -application meetings which can last between 1 to 2 hours.
Long Range Planning Committees and Projects:
• Applicant -initiated Plan and Zoning Code Amendments (several)
• Bend Affordable Housing / Urban Growth Boundary coordination
• Bend Airport Master Plan update
• Bend Growth Management coordination
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)
• County -initiated Legislative Amendments
o Housekeeping amendments
o Outdoor Lighting Amendments
o Outdoor Mass Gathering Amendments
o Sign Code Amendments
• Destination Resort Overnight Lodging Unit tracking
• Historic Landmarks Commission
o Certified Local Government Application and Grant Administration (Winter 2021)
• Housing Study
• Marijuana
o Annual Marijuana Report and Inspections
o Marijuana Amendments (if opt out fails)
• Planning Commission
• Project Wildfire
• Redmond Affordable Housing / Urban Growth Boundary Amendment
• Sisters Growth Management Coordination / Comprehensive Plan update
• Sisters Vision implementation
• Technical Assistant Grant
o Wildfire Mitigation
o Wildlife Inventories
• Transportation Growth Management Grant
o Tumalo Community Plan Update
o Implement a portion of the Sisters Country Vision Action Plan for rural trails
• Transportation System Plan Update / Coordination

III. PROPOSAL/REQUEST
CDD requests:
A) The reinstatement of one (1) full time regular assistant planner in our current planning division
to achieve the following results:
Achieve land use decision performance measures.
Respond to the high numbers of email, phone, and counter inquiries in a timely manner
(within 24-48 hours).
Process low level land use applications to sustain or improve all land use permit turnaround
times.
B) The reinstatement of one (1) full time regular associate planner to be reclassified as a senior
planner in our long range planning division to achieve the following results:
Manage large, complex planning projects, consultants, and grants.
Provide staff support to or participate on various commissions and committees (i.e., BPAC,
Historic Landmarks Commission, Project Wildfire), completion of reports and inspections,
coordination with cities and plan and text amendment updates.
Avoid delay or deferral of long range planning projects.
IV. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of both positions is estimated at $209,400 to cover the fully loaded rate ($203,400) and
computer, equipment and training ($6,000). Unfortunately, the Planning Division's fiscal year end
projection indicates it is unable to fund this position due to withdrawing proposed fee increases to
cover the actual cost of planning services during the pandemic.
Options to cover deficit in current year and beyond:
• Department reserve funds - amount to be determined at the end of fiscal year based on
Division deficit or actual cost of position, whichever is less.
• General Fund - amount to be determined at the end of fiscal year based on division deficit or
actual cost of position, whichever is less.
• Any combination of the above.
V. BOARD DIRECTION
1. Approve/deny the reinstatement of one (1) assistant planner for current planning to the FY 2021
Planning Division budget.
2. Approve/deny the reinstatement of one (1) associate planner to be reclassified as a senior
planner for long range planning to the FY 2021 Planning Division budget.

FROM: Tanya Saltzman, AICP, Associate Planner
Peter Gutowsky, AICP, Planning Manager
Nick Lelack, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: September 30, 2020
SUBJECT: Housing Strategies Project / Scope of Work
I. OBJECTIVE
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) has stated its interest in exploring housing
opportunities in the rural county and on County -owned land. This memorandum continues
discussion from the Board's September 21 meeting and provides additional data for consideration.
Staff seeks Board direction at this or a future meeting on whether to:
1. Initiate one or more options listed below or another option(s). Based on the option(s)
selected, staff will provide an update to the Board on next steps.
2. Return for a continued discussion on the options presented or other options, or additional
information requested by the Board.
3. Utilize the data provided in this memorandum to continue building a housing report based
on the Draft Housing Profile and additional information that has been presented to the
Board in previous meetings (Market Analysis, etc.)
11. BACKGROUND
On July 27, 2020 staff provided the Board with a draft housing profile and potential options for further
defining a housing strategies project, per the Board's ongoing interest.' The housing profile identified
up to 5,888 vacant lots in the rural county where residential uses are permitted outright.' The
breakdown of those vacancies are as follows (data is taken from the Draft Housing Profile).

Staff returned on August 24 to discuss the Board's preferred direction for scope, timeline, and
defining the desired outcome of the project.3 During that discussion the Board prioritized rural
housing opportunities and county -owned properties. Staff returned on September 21 to present the
following additional information for the Board's consideration in defining a scope of work:'
• Twelve -Month Market Analysis • Emerging Opportunities
• Housing Strategies in Other Counties • Institutional Challenges
• Existing Residential Opportunities • Next Steps
Based on questions raised during that discussion, staff is providing additional information to the
Board about existing residential opportunities in the County.
Ill. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
TGM Grant
As the Board is aware, the County applied for a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant to
update the Tumalo Community Plan and implement a portion of the Sisters County Vision Action Plan

4https://deschutescountyor.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail Meeting.aspx?0=2593
Page 2 of 6
for rural trails. The County was recently notified that it has been awarded $75,000 for this grant. Staff
is currently creating a Statement of Work to be finalized with DLCD/ODOT in February 2021. As
previously noted, the Tumalo Community Plan in particular will address housing in an unincorporated
community, one of the potential elements of a housing strategy in the County.
Maps
Attached are several maps members of the Board requested at the September 21 meeting:
• Conventional Housing Combining (CHC) Zone: This map illustrates the locations of the CHC
zone in the county. This zone requires homes to be "conventional or modular housing
permanently attached to real property."
• Measure 37 and 49: These measures offered residents opportunities to divide and/or build
homes as compensation for land use regulations imposed after owners acquired their
properties. These maps illustrate the location of claims made based on these measures. While
data for Measure 37 is only available at a high level, available data shows that Measure 49
claims have resulted in approximately 62 additional dwellings.
• Manufactured home parks: This map illustrates the locations of mobile home parks in the
County. These parks generally predated the County's zoning ordinances and as such,
establishment dates are not available.
Nonfarm Dwelling Approvals
As noted previously, nonfarm dwellings are one type of residential development currently available
to Deschutes County residents in EFU zones. According to the 2016-2017 Farm and Forest Report
issued by the Department of Land Conservation and Development to the Legislature in January 2019,
Deschutes County issued the most nonfarm dwelling approvals in Oregon between 1994 and 2017.
In 2016 and 2017, Deschutes County issued 19 and 17 nonfarm dwelling approvals respectively.'
Terrebonne Wastewater Feasibility Study
As noted in the previous meeting with the Board, the Terrebonne Wastewater Feasibility Study has
the potential to provide additional development opportunities. The study is currently underway;
website for the project is below, and includes an overview of the project, a link to a survey as part of
community conversations, and frequently asked questions.
https://online-voice.net/terrebonne/
Housing Costs Breakdown
The Board expressed interest in seeing a breakdown of housing costs —how much of each home
price was attributable to construction, land, permits, energy savings measures, etc. Staff requested

%202017%20Oregon%20Fa rm%20and % 20Forest%20(report).pdf
Page 3 of 6
this information from the Central Oregon Builders' Association (COBA), but at the time of writing,
COBA was unable to supply this information. Staff will update the Board if any data is provided at a
later date.
IV. NEXT STEPS
To inform the Board's decision on a path forward, staff has identified four options for proceeding
with a Rural Housing Strategy.
A. Option 1 - Increase housing supply based on opportunities afforded by state law and County
Code. CDD and Property Management staff would work directly with the Board to implement the
actions identified in Table 3 below.
Table 4. Opportunities Afforded by State Law and County Code
1. Rural Residential Dwellings
Rely on the vacant lands analysis which identifies 4,329 of existing platted residential lots and the potential for 1,559
additional lots in the rural county.
2. Resource Zone Dwellings
The vacant lands analysis did not consider resource zones due to a variety of factors, from determining whether a
property is a legal lot of record to potential compliance with state land use standards. However, Deschutes County
permits new dwellings in resource zones as allowed by state law.
Deschutes County has the smallest EFU-zoned lot sizes in the state, meaning that land partitions may result in
additional residential development through non -farm dwellings.
Under state law, there are seven (7) ways to approve new dwellings in the EFU Zone and (4) ways to approve new
dwellings in the Forest Use Zone
3. County -Owned Lands
Audit County -owned lands to determine housing development potential in cities and rural areas, and then decide
which properties to pursue for residential development. Notable properties include:
• Newberry Neighborhood (Neighborhood 2, 2 quadrants; Neighborhoods 3 and 4). The County was recently
awarded a TGM grant to fund this project.
• Lands north of juniper Ridge
4. Historic Rural Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Historic dwellings in MUA, RR-10, SR 2'/2, and UAR-10 zones on parcels larger than two acres are permitted to be
converted to accessory dwelling units and one additional housing unit may be developed on a property. There are
approximately 113 properties eligible for such units in the County; 2 applications have been submitted to date. The
County could promote this program to the remaining properties.
5. Plan or Text Amendments
Non -Prime Resource Lands Amendment(s) are in process.
Consider repealing the Conventional Housing Combining Zone that prohibits manufactured dwellings and mobile
homes in certain parts of the County. Rural ADUs may be allowed in unincorporated communities under state law, but
not under County Code.
The County could amend Code to allow ADUs in some or all unincorporated community with siting and infrastructure
standards.
Page 4 of 6
6. Tumalo, Terrebonne, Unincorporated Communities
Consider public -private partnerships, pilot project funding, or invest in infrastructure (i.e., sewer system) to support the
development of small lots.
Timeline: Three to six months to complete any code amendments. An initial audit of County -owned
lands would likely take 2-3 months.
B. Option 2 - Lobby the Legislature. The Board, Administration, CDD, the County's lobbyist and
partner organizations would coordinate to develop the legislative concepts, engage local legislators,
and lobby the Legislature to adopt these measures.
Table 4.Opportunities Requiring Legislative Action
1.
Allow rural ADUs in Rural Residential Exception Areas
2.
Remove "pilot" from HB 4079 (large cities) and HB 2336 (small cities) to allow UGB expansions for mixed market
rate and affordable housing neighborhoods.
3.
Destination Resorts
• Allow ADUs by not counting them as separate dwellings in the 2:1 or 2.5:1 residential to overnight lodging
ratio requirements.
• Allow affordable housing onsite for employees.
4.
Manufactured Home Parks
• Allow new and expanded manufactured home parks.
• Allow manufactured home park lots to be subdivided and allow tiny homes rather than just manufactured
homes.
5.
Other
Timeline: Begin immediately by engaging AOC and the County's lobbyist to prepare legislative
concepts for the 2021 Legislative Session, and then lobbying through the Session's sine die.
C. Option 3 - Convene a Rural Housing Advisory Committee to review, discuss, revise and prioritize
items identified above. A committee could be structured as follows:
i. Establish a Rural Housing Advisory Committee (with or without a consultant)
This committee could evaluate the causes and drivers of the region's housing shortage and
recommend rural housing strategies that the County can pursue to help alleviate it in partnership
with other organizations. Committee members could include representatives from the following:
• Central Oregon Builders Association
• Central Oregon Association of
Realtors
• Central Oregon Intergovernmental
Council
• City of Bend
• City of La Pine
• City of Redmond
• City of Sisters
• Economic Development for Central
Oregon
• Housing Works
• Neighborlmpact
• Central Oregon Homeless Leadership
Coalition
• Planning Commission (1-2 members)
Page 5 of 6
• Others
Timeline: 4 to 8 months, concluding with an action plan.
ii. Board/Planning Commission Panel Discussion
The Board and Planning Commission could establish a series of panel discussions with invited
guests from public, private, and non-profit sector organizations to similar to the marijuana panel
discussions conducted in 2018:
1. Evaluate the housing profile developed to date.
2. Provide insights into the causes and drivers of the housing need and housing shortage.
3. Propose conceptual land use strategies and recommendations to address the County's
housing need.
4. Other.
This Committee could then determine next steps, including whether to create a Rural Housing
Advisory Committee such as that proposed above or other courses of action.
Timeline: 4 to 8 months, concluding with a summary report.
D. Option 4 - Combine two or more options above for a new approach, such as:
• Initiate Option 2; and
• Select Option 3(i). or 3(ii) above with the charge to review and decide which opportunities
in Table 3. Opportunities Afforded by State Law and County Code to initiate as well as to:
1) Provide insights into the causes and drivers of the housing need and housing shortage;
and
2) Propose conceptual land use strategies and recommendations to address the County's
housing need.
