Board of Commissioners BOCC Meeting Agenda Monday, November 23, 2020 Page 3 of 3 AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT For Board of Commissioners BOCC Monday Meeting of November 23, 2020 DATE: November 18, 2020 FROM: Whitney Hale, Administrative Services, 541-330-4640 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund Advisory Committee Update BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Deschutes County's Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund Advisory Committee works to prioritize state funds that are intended to enhance public transportation services. Committee members make recommendations about which public transportation projects will best serve the community and advise the County about opportunities to coordinate with other regional transportation programs and services. Six members of the Deschutes County Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) Advisory Committee have terms expiring on Dec. 31. COIC staff will provide the Board an update on these member's terms and next steps. Staff will also provide an update on the upcoming STIF solicitation cycle. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None ATTENDANCE: Derek Hofbauer, Outreach and Engagement Administrator, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council; Whitney Hale, Deschutes County Administration Memorandum coic To: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners From: Derek Hofbauer, COIC Outreach and Engagement Administrator Date: November 19, 2020 Subject: Deschutes County Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) Advisory Committee Update Expiring Terms The following six Deschutes County STIF Advisory Committee members have terms expiring on 12/31/20. • Andrea Breault • Ken Thorpe • Jonathon Bullock • Steve Wilson (alternate) • Sintha Townsend • Zachary Bass COIC staff engaged committee members with expiring terms to determine if they are interested in serving second terms. All STIFAC members were interested in serving a second term, with the exception Steve Wilson, who is an alternate on the committee, and wished to relinquish his seat. There are currently two vacant alternate positions on the STIFAC due to Steve Wilson's departure and Andrew Davis (a previous alternate) taking over Ryan Couch's position in 2019. COIC's staff recommendation to the BOCC is to re -appoint Andrea Breault, Ken Thorpe, Jonathon Bullock, Sintha Townsend and Zachary Bassto to serve second terms on the STFAC. This mirrors the action the Board took in 2019 for committee members with early expiring terms. COIC also recommends that the BOCC utilize the existing STIFAC applications and scoring sheet from 2019 (see attached) to identify new potential alternates to serve on the committee. Once a pool of alternates are selected by the BOCC (preferably in ranked order), COIC staff will contact those individuals to assess their interest in serving on the committee. COIC staff will report back to the BOCC for possible appointments once two new alternates are confirmed.

The Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is pleased to present its selections for the 2020 Big Chainring Awards. MEMORANDUM TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners FROM: Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) DATE: November 18, 2020 SUBJECT: Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Big Chainring Awards 1. OVERVIEW The mission of Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee (BPAC) is to promote and encourage safe bicycling and walking as a significant means of transportation in Deschutes County. The committee serves to advise Deschutes County, the cities of Bend, LaPine, Redmond, and Sisters, as well as the Oregon Department of Transportation. As a citizen committee, BPAC provides information on best practices for walking and bicycling infrastructure as well as on community needs and interests. The committee encourages bicycling, walking, and public transit as viable means of transportation in Deschutes County. BPAC is comprised of 13 volunteer citizen members with regional representation from across Deschutes County. The committee holds monthly meetings to discuss current bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs, provide input, and advise local agencies concerning bicycling and walking interests and priorities. BPAC meetings are open to the public and include agency representatives as non -voting participants. II. SCHEDULE CHANGES IN 2020 In prior years, BPAC has come before the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to present its annual report as well as its awards. Owing to schedule shifts stemming from COVID-19 (including subcommittee, project, and award changes), the committee has opted to present the Big Chainring Awards now, and will return to the Board in January 2021 for its annual report presentation. III. BIG CHAINRING AWARDS Since 1996, the BPAC has presented the Big Chainring Awards annually to honor individuals, businesses, and public agencies that have made significant contributions in the support of better bicycling and walking in Central Oregon. In addition, the Peter Hanson Memorial Award specifically recognizes individuals in the community who have provided outstanding voluntary contributions. The Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is pleased to announce its selections for the 2020 Big Chainring Awards. Peter Hanson Memorial Award - Lucas Freeman: Lucas began his bicycle advocacy with a blog covering active transportation. In 2013, he joined with Brian Potwin from Commute Options and Pam Hardy to form Bend Bikes, an all -volunteer advocacy organization. Lucas brought the strength of relationship building with City staff, Commute Options, and other organizations to advocate for people who bike in Bend. This led to collaboration on Open Streets events and city adoption of Neighborhood Greenways. Lucas continues as a volunteer with the Bend Bikes advocacy team and as a mentor. Individual Category - Ariel Mendez: Ariel Mendez is the former President of the Board of Bend Bikes and currently serves our community on the Bend Parks & Recreation Board. As a member of the Bend Citywide Transportation Advisory Committee, he pushed for a 20-year vision for transportation policy for people who bike, walk, and roll. Ariel continues to advocate for equitable and sustainable transportation planning that prioritizes our transportation systems' most vulnerable users. Most recently, he successfully advocated for the Stay Healthy Streets as the COVID-19 pandemic affected our community. His visible and vocal leadership has informed and inspired others to advocate for people who bike in our community. Public Agency Category - Sunriver Police Department Bike Patrol Team: The Bike Patrol consists of nine seasonal officers who work full time during the summer promoting safe bicycling along the 32 miles of pathways in Sunriver. Sunriver hosts thousands of visitors riding bikes each summer. In 2020, despite the pandemic, the Bike Patrol made over 15,000 contacts with community members providing education and enforcement. Due to their proactive efforts; Sunriver PD received less than 15 crash reports. IV. NEXT STEPS BPAC will return in early 2021 to present its annual report outlining recent accomplishments and project updates. Page 2 of 2 AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT For Board of Commissioners BOCC Monday Meeting of November 23, 2020 DATE: November 18, 2020 FROM: Cynthia Smidt, Community Development, 541-317-3150 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Work Session: Spring River Rural Commercial Zone Text Amendments BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Board of County Commissioners is conducting a work session on November 23, 2020 in preparation for a public hearing on December 2 to consider text amendments to Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapters 18.74, Rural Commercial Zone - Spring River; 18.116, Supplementary Provisions; and 18.124, Site Plan Review. The applicant, Spring River Plaza LLC (Richard Hadley), proposes amendments that would allow office and retail as outright permitted uses, clarify front yard setbacks, and provide a parking requirement exception to Spring River Rural Commercial Zone. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: none ATTENDANCE: Cynthia Smidt, Associate Planner MEMORANDUM TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners FROM: Cynthia Smidt, Associate Planner DATE: November 18, 2020 RE: Spring River Rural Commercial Zone Text Amendments (File No. 247-20-000502-TA) The Board of County Commissioners (Board) is conducting a work session on November 23, 2020 in preparation for a public hearing on December 2 to consider text amendments to Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapters 18.74, Rural Commercial Zone - Spring River; 18.116, Supplementary Provisions; and 18.124, Site Plan Review. The applicant, Spring River Plaza LLC (Richard Hadley), proposes the following amendments: Allow office and retail as outright permitted uses subject to DCC Chapter 18.124, Site Plan Review;' • Clarify front yard setbacks, and Provide a parking requirement exception to Spring River Rural Commercial (RC) Zone. I. BACKGROUND The Rural Commercial plan designation and associated zoning, applies to specific properties that are located outside unincorporated communities and urban growth boundaries. Spring River is one of five rural commercial designations found in Deschutes County. Others include Deschutes junction, Deschutes River Woods Store, Pine Forest, and Rosland. The Rural Commercial zones are limited in size and scope, and are intended to serve the immediate rural area and any visitors. Prior to the Rural Commercial designation, the 1979 Comprehensive Plan designated these areas as Rural Service Centers. In 1994, a new Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR), 660 Division 22, was adopted to clarify what uses could be allowed in unincorporated communities without violating ' Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.4.20 prohibits industrial uses in the Spring River RC Zone. The applicant withdrew their request to include light industrial uses during the public hearing before the Planning Commission. 117 NW Lafayette Avenue, Bend, Oregon 97703 1 P.O. Box 6005, Bend, OR 97708-6005 Q (541) 388-6575 @ cdd@deschutes .org @ www.deschutes.org/cd Statewide Planning Goal 11, Public Facilities and Services, and Goal 14, Urbanization.2 The Unincorporated Communities Rule of 660-022 identified four different types of rural communities: Resort Community; • Rural Community; and Urban Unincorporated Community; • Rural Service Center. Deschutes County was required to review existing rural service centers for compliance with OAR 660- 022. Three Rural Service Centers - Deschutes junction, Deschutes River Woods Store and Spring River - were given a new plan designation of Rural Commercial since these areas no longer qualified as a Rural Service Center. The County also applied the same plan designation to the Rosland (2002) and Pine Forest (2007) commercial centers. Exceptions to Goals 3 or 4 were not taken to any of these areas as a result of the change in designation from Rural Service Center to Rural Commercial. Moreover, the Rural Commercial designation only applied to acknowledged exception areas. Deschutes County's Comprehensive Plan policies and zoning standards restrict commercial uses to those that are rural as required in Goal 14, Urbanization. They are less intensive than those uses permitted in other unincorporated communities. The following are Comprehensive Plan, Section 3.4 Rural Economy policies pertaining specifically to lands designated and zoned rural commercial that restrict intensity: Policy 3.4.14 New commercial uses shall be limited in size to Z500 square feet or if for an agricultural or forest -related use, 3,500 square feet. Policy 3.4.15 A lawful use existing on or before November 5, 2002 that is not otherwise allowed in a Rural Commercial zone, may continue to exist subject to the county's nonconforming use regulations. Policy 3.4.16 An existing lawful use may expand up to 25 percent of the total floor area existing on November 5, 2002. Policy 3.4.19 Residential and commercial uses shall be served by on -site wells or public water systems. Policy 3.4.20 Community sewer systems, motels, hotels and industrial uses shall not be allowed. Policy 3.4.21 Recreational vehicle or trailer parks and other uses catering to travelers shall be permitted. The Spring River RC Zone includes 17 lots, encompassing 9.16 acres (Attachment 1).3 Three roads bound Spring River Road, Azusa Road, and Lunar Drive. Rural residential lands adjoin it. The area provides specific commercial amenities and services to surrounding residents and visitors, which include convenience store, restaurants, excavation and landscaping businesses, and retail stores. 2 https://secure sos state or us/oard/displlayDivisionRuies.action?selectedDivision=3072 3 The Spring River Rural Commercial Zone includes a Limited Use Combining Zone (LU). The LU Zone, DCC Chapter 18.112, limits the permitted uses and general activities allowed in the underlying zone when a parcel is rezoned to that particular underlying zone through the taking of an exception to a Statewide land use planning goal. The LU does not apply in this case since the applicant is only proposing text amendments to DCC 18.74.025, 030 and 18.116.030. 247-20-000502-TA Page 2 of 5 11. SPRING RIVER RURAL COMMERCIAL ZONE TEXT AMENDMENTS According to the applicant, the purpose of the proposed amendments is to address changing demands in the surrounding area and "improve employment and economic opportunities." Moreover, the applicant indicates that the provisions found within the County Code and Spring River RC Zone "severely hinder the ability to efficiently develop the property, provide employment opportunities, and provide commercial amenities and services." The proposed amendments will include uses that have the same or similar impacts (e.g. wastewater, transportation, and parking) to those uses that are currently permitted in the zone. Additionally, the proposal revises code language to allow future development to be consistent with existing development patterns in the same area. Based on this information, the applicant has submitted a burden of proof stating that the text amendment complies with the Statewide Planning Goals, applicable Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs), and applicable policies of the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, including the Transportation System Plan. The following summarizes the applicant's amendments as further refined by staff. Proposed amendments are shown in str keoutfor language to be deleted, and underline for language to be added. 1. Amendment of Uses Permitted Outright, DCC 18.74.025 The applicant proposed an amendment to the Spring River RC Zone to add general categorical uses of office and retail businesses to the outright permitted uses subject to site plan review. 1. Provide code language that will be more inclusive of all retail, rental, and service establishment uses that are already permitted in the Spring River RC Zone. 2. Use of "eating and drinking establishment" code language to be consistent with the off-street parking standards found in DCC 18.116.030(D)(6). Staff Comment: Considering the above issues, coupled with formatting issues (the list skips the letter 'nT staff recommends the Board consider language shown in Attachment 2 in strikeout/underline in format. 2. Amendment of Yard Standards, DCC 18.74.030 Unlike the side and rear yard setback standards of this section, which specifically state the setbacks are a "minimum", the front yard setback standard of this section does not state that it is a "minimum" required setback. The applicant believes without the term "minimum", the front yard criterion could be interpreted as both a minimum and a maximum. The applicant proposed that "minimum" be added to subsection (A)(1) Yard requirements and setbacks assist with public health and safety aspects of development, and provide community value and aesthetics. Deschutes County Code has included yard and setback requirements since the adoption in 1972 of Public Law 5 (PL-5), the predecessor to PL-15 and eventually Title 18. 247-20-000502-TA Page 3 of 5 Yard and setback, as defined in the DCC, creates an open space on a lot, which is unobstructed from the ground upward. For this reason, a yard identifies the nearest point where a structure is permitted to be located. Consequently, yards and setbacks are a minimum setback, unless otherwise specified. For example, Tumalo and Terrebonne commercial zoning districts are the exception because those districts specifically state the front yard and setback is a maximum.4 Staff Comment: Staff does not see any policy issues with this amendment but recommends a change in word placement in order to be consistent with yard standards in other zones. There is a need to correct DCC 18.74.030(A)(3), Rear Yard, which includes an erroneous reference to side yard. Staff recommends the Board consider the language shown in Attachment 2 in strikeout/underline in format. 3. Amendment of Front Yard Parking Standards, DCC 18.116.030(E)(5) and 18.124.070(D) According to the applicant, it is unclear whether this criterion prohibits parking in a minimum setback area, a maximum setback area, or both. Therefore, the applicant proposes to add the term "minimum" to clarify the prohibition applies to a "...required minimum front yard...". In addition to this clarification, the applicant proposes an exception for those properties fronting on Spring River Road. The reason for the requested exception is an acknowledgment of the existing development pattern along Spring River Road. Staff notes all of the developed properties along Spring River Road have parking within what would be the required front yard setback area of 80 feet. The applicant argues the exception will allow property owners to develop their property in an efficient manner that is consistent with the development pattern that exists along the Spring River Road corridor. Staff Comment: As noted previously, yard requirements and setbacks are not new. This is true with the regulation that prohibits parking and loading spaces in the front yard, DCC 18.116.030(E)(5), which has been present in DCC since at least the adoption of PL-15 in 1979. In addition, unless otherwise stated, front yards and setbacks identified in Title 18, Zoning Ordinance, are considered a minimum. Tumalo and Terrebonne commercial zoning districts are the exception in that they include a maximum front yard. Because the County Code reflects both minimum and maximum front yards, staff recommends not adding the term 'minimum' to DCC 18.116.030(E)(5) because it will create conflicts within the code that would necessitate additional amendments specific to the Tumalo and Terrebonne commercial zoning districts. If the proposed amendments to DCC 18.116.030(E)(5) and 18.124.070(D) are approved, the applicant suggests, and staff agrees, removing references to those zoning districts that Deschutes County no longer regulates. Specifically, this includes the removal of La Pine UUC Business Park (LPBP) District and the La Pine UUC Industrial District (LPI) from these sections. The recommended language by staff, shown in strikeout/underline in format, is indicated in Attachments 3 and 4. 4 For example, DCC 18.67.040(1)(1) states the following: Front Yard. The front yard shall be a maximum of 15 feet except as otherwise allowed by DCC 18.124.070(D)(3). The street setback for buildings may be reduced, but not increased, to the average building setback distance of existing buildings on adjoining lots. 247-20-000502-TA Page 4 of 5 111111. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on September 24, 2020 and deliberated on October 8. With the removal of industrial uses, the Commission recommended approval of the applicant's proposal and staff revisions (4-0; 3 absent). IV. NEXT STEPS The Board will hold the public hearing for the text amendments on December 2, 2020. The agenda packet for the hearing will contain the full record, in addition to a draft ordinance and findings. Attachments 1. Spring River Rural Commercial Zoning map 2.

Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be so arranged that it will not project light rays directly upon any adjoining property in a residential zone. 3. Groups of more than two parking spaces shall be located and designed to prevent the need to back vehicles into a street or right of way other than an alley. 4. Areas used for standing and maneuvering of vehicles shall be paved surfaces adequately maintained for all weather use and so drained as to contain any flow of water on the site. An exception may be made to the paving requirements by the Planning Director or Hearings Body upon fmding that: a. A high water table in the area necessitates a permeable surface to reduce surface water runoff problems; or b. The subject use is located outside of an unincorporated community and the proposed surfacing will be maintained in a manner which will not create dust problems for neighboring properties; or c. The subject use will be in a Rural Industrial Zone or an Industrial District in an unincorporated community and dust control measures will occur on a continuous basis which will mitigate any adverse impacts on surrounding properties. 5. Access aisles shall be of sufficient width for all vehicular turning and maneuvering. 6. Service drives to off-street parking areas shall be designed and constructed to facilitate the flow of traffic, provide maximum safety of traffic access and egress and maximum safety of pedestrians and vehicular traffic on the site. The number of service drives shall be limited to the minimum that will accommodate and serve the traffic anticipated. Service drives shall be clearly and permanently marked and defined through the use of rails, fences, walls or other barriers or markers. Service drives to drive in establishments shall be designed to avoid backing movements or other maneuvering within a street other than an alley. 7. Service drives shall have a minimum vision clearance area formed by the intersection of the driveway centerline, the street right of way line and a straight line joining said lines through points 30 feet from their intersection. 8. Parking spaces along the outer boundaries of a parking area shall be contained by a curb or bumper rail placed to prevent a motor vehicle from extending over an adjacent property line or a street right of way. G. Off -Street Parking Lot Design. All off-street parking lots shall be designed subject to County standards for stalls and aisles as set forth in the following drawings and table: (SEE TABLE 1 AT END OF CHAPTER 18.116) 1. For one row of stalls use "C" + "D" as minimum bay width. 2. Public alley width may be included as part of dimension "D," but all parking stalls must be on private property, off the public right of way. 3. For estimating available parking area, use 300-325 square feet per vehicle for stall, aisle and access areas. 4. For large parking lots exceeding 20 stalls, alternate rows may be designed for compact cars provided that the compact stalls do not exceed 30 percent of the total required stalls. A compact stall shall be eight feet in width and 17 feet in length with appropriate aisle width.

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Deschutes County Health Services (DCHS) is not structured to support an unpredictable, protracted pandemic while also maintaining its normal responsibilities. The current pandemic will not only require ongoing emergency response for some month, but also will involve recovery efforts that will extend beyond the direct health impacts of COVID-19. As such, we should think and act differently since we will be in response mode for the foreseeable future. In order to build stability and redundancy in our response system, to address attrition (including fatigue, turnover and sickness), and to ensure a resilient DCHS prepared for imminent and future health emergencies and an epidemiologic transition in a growing community with changing demographics, we are requesting the Board of County Commissioners' consideration to approve these positions: • Regular, ongoing: o 0.5 FTE Health Officer (This position is funded for 18 months, beyond which we intend to request County General Funds.) • Limited duration, 18 months: o 2.0 FTE Public Health Nurse II o 1.0 FTE Public Information Officer o 0.5 FTE Health Educator II o 1.0 FTE Administrative Support Specialist o 1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant Fiscal Analysis: The 18-month cost for the requested 6.0 FTE is $1,016,606, outlined below: FTE Classification FY21 FY22 Subtotal Funding Total Offset* 2.00 Public Health Nurse II 104,552 223,588 328,140 328,140 1.00 Public Information Officer 56,664 121,189 177,853 177,853 0.50 Health Educator II 26,364 56,465 82,829 82,829 0.50 Health Officer 75,118 160,625 235,743 (63,286) 172,457 1.00 Admin Support Specialist 39,871 85,275 125,146 125,146 1.00 Administrative Assistant 41,406 88,775 130,181 130,181 6.00 343,975 735,917 1,079,892 (63, 286) 1,016,606 *Funding offset includes 18-month expenditures for on -call Health Officer. Funds to support the 6.0 FTE through June 30, 2022, are proposed as follows: • Savings from Oregon Health Authority (OHA) COVID-19 Local Monitoring funds ($462,885); • Communicable Disease (CD) Beginning Working Capital ($200,000); • Central Oregon Health Council (COHC) quality incentive measure (QIM) funds for COVID-19 service needs ($353,721). Savings from OHA COVID-19 Local Monitoring: OHA awarded DCHS $746,885 in COVID-19 Local Monitoring fee -for -service funds and wrap -around services. On November 11, 2020, the Board approved increasing Health Services Fund related to the OHA funds through Resolution #2020-069. A portion of the funds covers already appropriated expenses that are redeployed to COVID-19 efforts, which resulted in $462,885 of savings in FY 2021. CD Beginning Working Capital: During spring 2020, the CD program redirected staff from budgeted activities to address the COVID-19 response. OHA and CARES Act Funds covered salaries of those staff working on the response, which aided in a higher -than -anticipated beginning working capital for CD program. COHC QIM Funds for COVID-19: As discussed during the FY 2021 budget process, COHC is providing funding to Public Health and other providers that are greatly impacted by COVID-19 for use on response efforts and service gaps occurring now and in future fiscal years. Public Health has received $1,358,730 to date, and estimates $1,592,643 through the end of 2020. (Payments are received on a monthly basis. Additional payments may be forthcoming after December, 2020.) A portion of those funds ($353,721) will be used to cover the requested 6.0 FTE through June 30, 2022. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Increase FY 2021 appropriation by $343,975 and FTE by 6.0 FTE in Health Services Fund.

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 provided additional information to the Board on October 56 about existing residential opportunities in the County, including the status of the Transportation Growth Management grant; nonfarm dwelling approval numbers; and the Terrebonne Wastewater Feasibility Study. All of the above information was incorporated into the revised Draft Housing Profile distributed at the November 9 Board meeting. 4 http://deschutescountyor.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail Meeting.aspx?ID=2587 s https://deschutescountyor.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail Meeting.aspx?ID=2593 e https:Hdeschutescountyor.igm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=2597 Page 2 of 6 III. RURAL ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT DRAFT LEGISLATIVE CONCEPT The Board has expressed interest in prioritizing support for legislation allowing accessory dwelling units in rural residential areas. On November 9, 2020, a draft legislative concept was released and shared with the Board. Based on this concept, staff has developed two maps summarizing the potential properties that could be eligible for this legislation as currently drafted, which are provided as attachments to this memorandum. A summary is also provided below. Please note that these numbers are in the conceptual stage, as the legislation may change and individual site constraints may reduce the number of eligible properties. Basic criteria (Map 1): Zones: RR10, MUA, SR 2'h, UAR 10 • Size: 2 acres or larger • Currently contains a single-family dwelling • Must be in a rural fire protection district Approximately 7,950 eligible parcels Additional criteria (Map 2): • All of the above; and • Property may not be located in the Wildlife Area Combining Zone Approximately 6,750 eligible parcels 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 Page 3 of 6 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 applied for, but did not receive, 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 is currently promoting this program via a mailing 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. 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 Count)(s lobbyist and partner organizations would coordinate to develop the legislative concepts, engage local legislators, and lobby the Legislature to adopt these measures. Table S. 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 Page 4 of 6 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) • 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 Page 5 of 6 • 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.
