4. Letter of Support for City of Redmond Application to the Turn Key
Project
Correction: the letter of support was for the Bethlehem Inn and not the City
of Redmond as posted to the agenda.
Deputy County Administrator Erik Kropp presented a draft letter of support
for the Bethlehem Inn to purchase a hotel property in Redmond.
Commissioner Henderson has concerns that the taxpayers should not
necessarily have to fund this project. He noted that the information
presented with this request lacks details. He would prefer that the private
sector fund these types of programs. County Administrator Anderson stated
the City of Bend is also submitting application for this project funding as well.
The Bethlehem Inn will apply for funding for the purchase of a motel as well
as operating costs.

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Monday Meeting of December 7, 2020
DATE: November 30, 2020
FROM: Whitney Hale, Administrative Services, 541-330-4640
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
STIF Advisory Committee Update
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County's Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) 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. Deschutes County contracts with Central
Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) to administer its STIF program.
The County needs to appoint a new alternate to the STIF Advisory Committee. Because the
STIF Committee is scheduled to meet in December and January to review STIF project
applications for FY'21223, COIC staff recommends that the Board review original STIF
Advisory Committee applications from 2019 to see if a potential alternate may exist among the
initial pool of applicants.
A ranked list of STIF applicants and staff report from COIC is attached.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None
ATTENDANCE: Derek Hofbauer, COIC; Whitney Hale, Administration
Memorandum coic
To: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners

Subject: Deschutes County Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF)
Advisory Committee Vacancy
Reappointments
The following five Deschutes County STIF Advisory Committee members whose terms expire on
12/31/20 were reappointed by the BOCC on 11/23/20 to serve an additional two years on the
committee.
• Andrea Breault
• Ken Thorpe
• Jonathon Bullock
• Sintha Townsend
• Zachary Bass
Vacancies
Steve Wilson, who is an alternate on the committee, wishes to relinquish his seat on the
committee. There is currently one vacant alternate position on the STIFAC due to Steve
Wilson's departure. Walter McCoin (representing Redmond) is the only alternate serving on the
committee at this time.
Due to the timing of our upcoming STIF schedule (meetings in December and January) staff
recommends selecting a total of four potential alternates (in ranked order of preference) from
the original pool of 2019 applicants. The detailed list of those applicants is attached here. Once
the BOCC expresses a preference for applicants, COIC will reach out to applicants to assess if
they are still interested in serving on the STIF committee as an alternate.
As a reminder, you will be replacing a departing committee member from Redmond. If the
Board would like to, you could consider appointing a Redmond applicant, however, this isn't a
requirement, and there are a number of committee members from Redmond: Zach Bass,
Jonathon Bullock, and Walter McCoin (alternate) already serve on the STIF Advisory
Committee.
Next STIF Advisory Committee Meetings
COIC staff scheduled the next Deschutes STIF Advisory Committee meetings for the following
dates and times:
Tuesday, December 8 from 3:30 - 5 pm (virtual)

To: Board of County Commissioners ("Board")
From: Anthony Raguine, Senior Planner
Date: November 25, 2020
Re: Work Session on Bend Municipal Airport ("Airport") Text Amendments; File No. 247-20-
000482-TA
I. BACKGROUND
The applicant, City of Bend ("City"), has identified a division between the Deschutes County zoning
ordinance and the planned development depicted in the Bend Airport Master Plan during several
attempts to develop aviation related facilities that would otherwise be approved by the Federal
AVla tlol l� Adl I Il istr ation t lCJ. — alleviate thisI—— ar�rul eta rl Mia rr�l i �e nN�t 0i pPrrYIIYYP fi I ICPC ...
the Airport Development ("AD") Zone, the applicant proposes amendments which will include
adoption of definitions from the Oregon Administrative Rule ("OAR") and from FAA documents.
The applicant also notes recent challenges with obtaining development approval of aviation related
uses on the Airport. It is staffs understanding the challenges are most acute for proposed personal
use hangars which, under the current code, require Site Plan Review pursuant to Deschutes County
Code (DCC) 18.124. To alleviate this issue, the City proposes a streamlined review process for
personal use hangars. In sum, the City is requesting Deschutes County adopt the proposed zoning
text amendments to ensure development -ready projects consistent with the language of the text
amendment are processed efficiently.
II. TEXT AMENDMENTS
The City applied for amendments to DCC Chapter 18.76, AD Zone, and Chapter 18.116,
Supplementary Provisions. Below, staff describes the purpose of the amendments.
Chapter 18.76, AD Zone
The amendments to DCC 18.76 have the following purposes:
1. Streamline county review of personal use hangars;
1 1 7 NW Lafayette Avenue, Bend, Oregon 97703 1 P.O. Box 6005, Bend, OR 97708-6005
Q\ (541) 388-6575 @a cdd@deschutes.org @ www.deschutes.org/cd
2. Revise outright permitted uses to include "customary and usual aviation -related activities';
3. Adopt OAR definition of "customary and usual aviation -related activities';
4. Adopt FAA definitions of "fixed based operator" and "hangar";
5. Reduce the arterial roadway (Powell Butte Highway) front yard setback from 100 feet to 50
feet; and
6. Reduce the rear yard setback from 50 feet to 20 feet.
Currently, personal use hangars require Site Plan Review pursuant to Chapter 18.124. As detailed
by the City, both statute and rule categorize personal use hangars as outright permitted uses. To
ensure consistency with statute and rule, the City proposes a streamlined review for personal use
hangars. Similarly, the City proposes adoption of definitions to ensure consistency with rule and
FAA information. Finally, existing development at the Airport is within the currently required 100-
foot Powell Butte Highway front yard setback and the 50-foot rear yard setback. For this reason, the
City proposes revised front and rear setbacks to ensure consistency with the existing development
pattern at the Airport.
The purpose of the proposed amendment to DCC 18.116.030(E)(5) is to allow parking in the front
yard for uses in the AD Zone. Currently, DCC 18.116.030(E)(5) generally prohibits parking in the front
yard. This amendment is consistent with the existing parking pattern at the Bend Municipal Airport.
111. REVIEW PROCESS
The proposed text amendments were referred to a Hearings Officer. A public hearing was
conducted on September 15, 2020. ThI. only Fnuihiir partirirnatinn WAr, from tho Rarlmnnrl Miiinirlpal
Airport, which expressed support for the amendments and emphasized the need for hangar space
in the region. The Hearings Officer's decision (Attachment 15) was issued on November 10, 2020.
The Hearings Officer found the City satisfied all procedural and substantive criteria to approve the
requested amendments. Consequently, the Hearings Officer recommends the Board adopt the
amendments. No appeal of the decision was filed.
IV. NEXT STEP
Pursuant to DCC 22.28.030(B), the Board shall, in the absence of an appeal adopt the Hearings
Officer's decision. As noted above, no appeal of the Hearings Officer's decision was filed.
Staff will schedule a meeting for first reading of the ordinance, followed by 2nd reading of the
ordinance. Unless adopted by emergency, the ordinance will become effective 90 days from 2"d
reading.

RE: City of Bend — Bend Municipal Airport: Text Amendment Application Executive Summary
To Whom it May Concern:
The primary intent of any zoning ordinance is to serve as the regulatory tool required to implement the
vision, goals, and objectives laid out within the governing comprehensive plan. The 2012 Bend Airport
Master Plan was never formally adopted in to the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, however, the
FAA approved master plan has still served as the guiding document for development at the Bend
Municipal Airport due to federal grant obligations.
Recent attempts to develop aviation related activities at the Bend Municipal Airport has identified a
division between the Deschutes County zoning ordinance and the planned development depicted in the
federally approved airport master plan during several attempts to develop aviation related facilities that
would otherwise be approved by the FAA. It is generally understood that the Deschutes County airport
zoning ordinance, that identifies three distinct aviation related development sub -districts, is perceived
a5 a hindrgnre to imnlomonting aviatinn related development at the airport,
In support of this argument, modern planning practitioners have suggested that the proliferation of
zoning districts is a common problem within conventional zoning. "As the number of districts grows, it
becomes harder to distinguish among them; as the distinctions become less clear, the purpose of any
given district becomes blurred, and the formal distinctions become less defensible" (Levy, John M.
Contemporary Urban Planning Version 10, 2016). Levy goes on to say that:
"an increase in the number of districts results in fewer uses being permitted in any
single district. This decreases the likelihood that an available site will be properly zoned
to meet a developer's needs. This, in turn, increases the probability that a zoning
amendment will be sought."
Due to the recent challenges with obtaining development approval of aviation related uses on the Bend
Municipal Airport, the City of Bend is requesting Deschutes County adopt the proposed zoning text
amendment to ensure development -ready projects consistent with the language of the text amendment
are not unnecessarily delayed by zoning ordinance.
Included with this application package is the Burden of Proof for the proposed Text Amendment,
including supporting appendices preceded by a brief summary of each.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this application package.

PROPERTY OWNER: City of Bend
710 NW Wall Street
Bend, OR 97703
REQUEST: To obtain approval of amendments to the text of Title 18, the Deschutes
County Zoning Ordinance, of the Deschutes County Code.
I. APPLICABLE CRITERIA:
Title 18, Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 18.04 Title, Purpose and Definitions
Section 18.04.030
Chapter 18.116 Supplementary Provisions
Section 19.116.030(E)(5)
Chapter 18.76 Airport Development Zone — AD
Sections .010, .020, .030, .060, .070, .080, .090, .105
III. TEXT AMENDMENTS
A. BASIS FOR CHANGE
The proposed text amendments are proposed to allow for streamlined approval of hangar development
projects and allow hangar development in all zones on the airport.
B. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS
Amend Section 18.116.030(E)(5) to:
5. Parking, Front Yard. Required parking and loading spaces for multi -family dwellings or commercial
and industrial uses shall not be located in a required front yard, except in the Sunriver UUC Business
Park (BP) District and the La Pine UUC Business Park (LPBP) District, the La Pine UUC Industrial
District (LPI), and the Airport Development (AD) Zone, but such space may be located within a
required side or rear yard.
Amend the following Sections of Chapter 18.76 to:
18.76.010. Purpose.
The purpose of the Airport Development (AD) Zone is to allow for development compatible with
ongoing airport use consistent with the most recently adopted Deschutes County Comprehensive
Plan and the most recently approved Bend Airport Master Plan, while providing for public review
of proposed development likely to have significant impact on surrounding lands. The AD Zone is
composed of three separate zoning districts, each with its own set of allowed uses and distinct
regulations, as further set forth in DCC 18.76.
(Ord. 2003-036 §2, 2003; Ord. 91-020 §1, 1991)
18.76.015. Definitions.
The following definitions applies only to Chapter 18.76.
"Customary and usual aviation -related activities" include, but are not limited to, takeoffs, landings.
aircraft hangars, tiedowns, construction and maintenance of airport facilities, fixed -base operator
facilities, a residence for an airport caretaker or security officer, and other activities incidental to the
nonnal operation of an airport. Residential, commercial, industrial, manufacturing, and other uses,
except as provided in this rule, are not customary and usual aviation -related activities and may only be
authorized pursuant to OAR 660-013-0110.
"Fixed -base operator or FBO" means a commercial business granted the right by the airport sponsor to
operate on an airport and provide aeronautical services such as fueling, hangaring, tie -down and
parking, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, etc.
"Hangar" means an airport structure intended for the following uses:
A. Storage of active aircraft.
B. Shelter for maintenance, repair, or refurbishment of aircraft, but not the indefinite storage of non-
operational aircraft.
C. Construction of amateur -built or kit -built aircraft
E. Customary and usual aviation -related activities.
F. Hangars are subject to the standards and criteria established by DCC 18.76.105.
(Ord. 2003-036 §2, 2003; Ord. 2001-039 §10, 2001; Ord. 2001-016 §2, 2001; Ord. 93-043 §11,
1993; Ord.
91-020 §1, 1991)
18.76.060. Dimensional Standards.
The following dimensional standards shall apply in the Airport Districts:
A. The minimum lot size shall be determined subject to the provisions of DCC 18.76
relative to setback requirements, off-street parking and loading requirements, lot coverage
limitations or as deemed necessary by the Planning Director or Hearings Body to maintain
air, land and water resource quality, protect adjoining and area land uses, and to ensure
resource carving capacities are not exceeded.
B. An airport related use or structure located adjacent to or across the street from an existing
residential use or platted residential lot shall not exceed 70 percent lot coverage and shall
require off-street parking and loading areas.
C. The minimum setback between any structure and an arterial or collector right of way shall be
50 feet. The minimum setback between any structure and all local streets shall be 20 feet.
D. The minimum setback between any structure and a property line adjoining a residential use or
lot shall be 50 feet.
F. The minimum lot frontage shall be 50 feet.
F. The minimum side setback between any structure and a property line shall be three feet, and
the minimum total of both side setbacks shall be 12 feet.
G. The minimum rear setback between any structure and a rear property line shall be 20 feet.
1-1. The minimum setback from internal airport streets, access roads, and drives shall be 10 feet
from the edge of pavement.
(Ord. 2003-036 §2, 2003; Ord. 94-008 §24, 1994; Ord. 91-020 §1, 1991)
18.76.070. Airfield Operations District (AOD).
Uses Permitted Outright. The uses permitted outright are those listed under DCC 18.76.030.
(Ord. 2003-036 §2, 2003)
18.76.080. Aviation Support District (ASD).
A. Uses Permitted Outright. The uses permitted outright are those listed under DCC 18.76.030.
B. Conditional Uses Permitted. The following conditional uses may be permitted subject to DCC
18.128 and a conditional use permit:
1. Restaurant, which may include a bar or cocktail lounge as an accessory use. One
restaurant per airport. Restaurant, including any accessory use, to be 2,500 square feet or
less in size.
2. Airport or aviation -related businesses that benefit from an on- airport location.
(Ord. 2004-013 §8, 2004, Ord. 2003-036 §2, 2003)
18.76.090. Aviation -Related Industrial District (ARID).
Uses Permitted Outright. The uses and permitted outright are those listed under DCC 18,76,030,
FINDING: These amendments are being adopted through the land use planning process. The decision
made in this matter is based on the applicable goals, statutes, regulations as well as the Comprehensive
Plan and Transportation System Plan. The amendments will provide guidelines for future decisions.
Goal 3: Agricultural Lands
FINDING: The area of the Bend Municipal Airport is all exception land, so Goal 3 does not apply to
those areas.
Goal 4: Forest Lands
FINDING: The area of the Bend Municipal Airport is exception land, so Goal 4 does not apply.
Goal 5: Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces
FINDING: The proposed amendments do not affect any inventoried Goal 5 natural resources, scenic or
historic area or open space. The County's Official Combining Zone map does not identify any natural,
scenic, historic, open space, or surface mining resources adjacent to the Bend Airport that have been
protected through the application of a combining zone.
Goal b: Air, Water and Land Resources Quality. To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water
and land resources of the state.
FINDING: Goal 6 is primarily concerned with the preservation of air, land and water resources from
pollution. The amendments to Deschutes County Code Chapter 18.76 will allow industrial and
commercial uses outright in some areas where they are currently conditional uses. Because those uses can
currently be permitted as conditional uses, the amendments are unlikely to have any effect on what
development occurs at the airport. At most, the amendments will affect where within the airport certain
types of development will occur. The amendments are consistent with Goal 6 because they do not allow
any additional impact on air, water or land quality compared to what is allowed under current zoning.
Goal 7: Areas Subject to Natural Hazards
FINDING: The Bend Municipal Airport is not in an area subject to natural hazards, so Goal 7 does not
apply. The County's Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (2015) has neither identified nor mapped any areas
subject to natural hazards that are adjacent to the Bend Airport.
Goal 8: Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and,
where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination
resorts.
FINDING: The Bend Municipal Airport is used for the following types of recreational activities:
1. Recreational aviation (both flying for enjoyment and flying to and/or from recreational
destinations.
2. Gliding.
3. Hobby construction of aircraft.
Goal 14: Urbanization.
FINDING: Goal 14 is not applicable because the Bend Municipal Airport is outside of any urban growth
boundary. As noted above, it is on exception land.
Goals 15 — 19.
FINDING: The Bend Municipal Airport is not in and does not affect any area subject to Goals 15 - 19.
The Airport is not within the Willamette River Greenway, is not adjacent to a river, and is not located on
the Oregon coast. These goals are therefore not applicable to this application.
