FINDINGS
I. BACKGROUND
A. Deschutes County Marijuana Regulation History
Following the passage of Ballot Measure 91 (2014), legalizing the sale and recreational use of marijuana, and HB
3400 (2015), refining the implementation of marijuana legalization, the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners (Board) adopted marijuana regulations in June 2016 (Ordinance Nos. 2016-013, 2016-014, 2016-
015, 2016-017, 2016-018, and 2016-019). Following their initial adoption, the Board committed to reexamine
Deschutes County's marijuana land use regulations post -implementation after gaining additional experience
regulating the evolving marijuana industry. Deschutes County utilized extensive resources from 2017 to 2019 to
attempt to develop reasonable time, place, and manner marijuana regulations. During this time, citizens on all
sides of the issue vocally expressed their dissatisfaction, consistently expressing doubt that Deschutes County's
regulations have the ability to successfully harmonize ostensibly incompatible land uses in the rural County due
to marijuana's classification as a farm crop.
B. Opt Out Ordinances
On August 19, 2019, the Board adopted by emergency Ordinance No. 2019-014, which prohibited the
establishment of future (new) marijuana production and processing businesses in unincorporated Deschutes
County (commonly referred to as an Opt Out). Ordinance No. 2019-015, adopted on October 16, 2019, further
clarified that Ordinance No. 2019-014 has no impact on the County's past marijuana production land use decisions
and does not preclude those applicants from moving forward in the licensure process with the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission (OLCC).
Oregon law (ORS 475B.968) provides that Deschutes County may adopt ordinances prohibiting marijuana
businesses, but must then refer the matter to County electors at the next statewide general election. On
November 3, 2020, Ballot Measure 9-134 asked voters if they wanted to repeal the opt -out ordinances. As the
ballot measure was phrased, a "yes" vote would once again allow new marijuana production and processing
businesses in Deschutes County, and a "no" vote would continue to prohibit new marijuana production and
processing businesses in Deschutes County.
Ultimately, 57% of Deschutes County's electorate voted "no" to Measure 9-134, thereby upholding the opt -out
and prohibiting future/new commercial marijuana production and processing businesses from being established
in the unincorporated County.
II. PROPOSAL
This is a legislative text amendment to Deschutes County Code (DCC), Title 18, County Zoning. The primary purpose
of the amendments is to reflect and clarify the changes required by Ballot Measure 9-134.
The proposal addresses in DCC 18.116.330(A), marijuana production and processing land use permits that were
issued from July 1, 2016 to the effective date of Ordinance No. 2021-004. Specifically, it clarifies that marijuana
production and processing subject to land use permits applied for from July 1, 2016 to the effective date of Ordinance
No. 2021-004, in which the use has been initiated pursuant to Deschutes County Code Chapter 22.36, may continue
as nonconforming uses pursuant to DCC 18.120.010, which includes criteria for alterations. Marijuana production
or processing land use permits where the use has not yet been initiated may only be modified pursuant to the
criteria established by DCC 22.36.040, Modification of Approval.
Page 1 of 5 - EXHIBIT H TO ORDINANCE NO.2021-004
The proposal clarifies that a change in ownership of a land use permit issued for marijuana production or
processing does not require a modification of approval or an alteration of a nonconforming use. A change in
location for a land use permit issued for marijuana production or processing is prohibited.
The proposal also removes marijuana production and/or processing as permitted or conditional uses in DCC
18.16.020 and 18.16.025, Exclusive Farm Use; DCC 18.32.030, Multiple Use Agricultural Zone; DCC 18.66.040 and
18.66.050, Terrebonne Rural Commercial Districts; DCC 18.67.040 and 18.67.060, Tumalo Rural Commercial and
Industrial Districts; DCC 18.100.010 and 18.100.020, Rural Industrial Zone; and DCC 18.108.110, Sunriver Business
Park.
The proposal removes the youth activity center separation distance criterion in DCC 18.116.030(B)(7),
18.116.030(C)(7) and 18.116.030(D)(7). The Oregon Court of Appeals in Waveseer of Oregon, LLC. v. Deschutes
County, 308 Or App 494 (2021) determined that the County's prevailing interpretation of the 'youth activity
center' phrase violated ORS 197.835(10)(a) because there is no way for an applicant to determine if a particular
EFU-zoned property would likely qualify for marijuana production. County staff recommends simply deleting the
phrase because the issue is unlikely to come up again and because it is likely that any subsequent 'youth activity
center' interpretation will equally run afoul of the aforementioned statute.
III. REVIEW CRITERIA
Deschutes County lacks specific criteria in DCC Titles 18, 22, or 23 for reviewing a legislative plan amendment.
Nonetheless, since Deschutes County is initiating one, the County bears the responsibility for justifying that the
amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goals and its existing Comprehensive Plan.
A. Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines
Goal 1: Citizen Involvement: The amendments do not propose to change the structure of the County's citizen
involvement program. Notice of the proposed amendments were provided to the Bulletin for the Board public
hearing.
Goal 2: Land Use Planning: This goal is met because ORS 197.610 allows local governments to initiate post
acknowledgments plan amendments (PAPA). An Oregon Land Conservation and Development Department 35-day
notice was initiated on February 24, 2021. The Board held a public hearing on March 31, 2021. The Findings
document provides the adequate factual basis for the amendments.
Goal 3: Agricultural Lands:
Ballot Measure 91 was passed by the voters of Oregon in November 2014 generally legalizing recreational use of
marijuana within the state. The Board adopted Ordinance No. 2015-009 on December 21, 2015, prohibiting the
establishment of marijuana businesses within unincorporated Deschutes County (Opt Out). After securing
legislative assurance in 2016 through the passage of Senate Bill 1598 that statutory right to farm protections would
not override local governments' authority to adopt local time, place and manner regulations governing marijuana
businesses, the Board adopted Ordinances No. 2016- 013, 2016- 014, 2016- 015, 2016- 016, 2016- 017, 2016- 018
and 2016- 019 on June 1 and June 15, 2016, implementing comprehensive land use regulations for the marijuana
industry in unincorporated Deschutes County, and subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 2016- 012 on August 2,
2016, effectively " Opting In" by repealing Ordinance No. 2015- 009.
On August 19, 2019, the Board adopted by emergency Ordinance No. 2019-014, which prohibited the
establishment of future marijuana production and processing businesses in unincorporated Deschutes County
Page 2 of 5 - EXHIBIT H TO ORDINANCE NO. 2021-004
(Opt Out). Ordinance No. 2019-015, adopted on October 16, 2019, further clarified that Ordinance No. 2019-014
has no impact on the County's past marijuana production land use decisions and does not preclude those
applicants form moving forward in the licensure process with OLCC.
Oregon law (ORS 475B.968) provides that Deschutes County may adopt ordinances prohibiting marijuana
businesses, but must then refer the matter to County electors at the next statewide general election. On
November 3, 2020, Ballot Measure 9-134 asked voters if they wanted to repeal the opt -out ordinances. As the
ballot measure was phrase specific, a "yes" vote would once again allow new marijuana production and processing
businesses in Deschutes County, and a "no" vote would continue to prohibit new marijuana production and
processing businesses in Deschutes County.
Ultimately, 57% of Deschutes County's electorate voted "no" to Measure 9-134, thereby upholding the opt -out
and prohibiting future/new commercial marijuana production and processing businesses from being established
in the unincorporated County.
Opting out is not in conflict with the aforementioned Ballot Measure 91 because the voters of Oregon expressed
no opinion or direction regarding marijuana's status as a farm crop, or the appropriate location of commercial
grow sites and processing operations. Opting out is not inconsistent with Goal 3: pursuant to the options provided
by Ballot Measure 91 and state statutes, numerous jurisdictions in Oregon opted out of allowing marijuana
businesses at the outset of Oregon's recreational marijuana program and have lawfully maintained that status.
The Opt Out and these corresponding amendments only impact future recreational production and processing
businesses and medical marijuana processing facilities. Existing marijuana businesses will not be impacted nor will
the Opt Out impact or prohibit future medical dispensaries or production sites, or future recreational retail or
wholesale.
The proposed amendments to the County Code are consistent with these provisions of state law and are therefore
consistent with Goal 3.
Goal 4: Forest Lands: The proposed text amendments do not propose to change the County's Plan policies or
implementing regulations for compliance with Goal 4, and therefore are in compliance.
Goal 5. Open Spaces Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources: Complies because the text amendment
does not propose to change the County's Plan policies or implementing regulations for Goal 5 open spaces, scenic
and historic areas, and natural resources.
Goal 6: Air Water and Land Resources Quality: The proposed text amendments do not propose to change the
County's Plan policies or implementing regulations for compliance with Goal 6, and therefore are in compliance.
Goal 7: Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: The proposed text amendments do not propose to change
the County's Plan or implementing regulations regarding natural disasters and hazards; therefore, they are in
compliance.
Goal 8: Recreational Needs: Complies because the text amendment does not propose to change the County's Plan
or implementing regulations regarding recreational needs.
Goal 9: Economy of the State: Goal 9 and its implementing regulations focus on economic analysis and economic
development planning required in urban Comprehensive Plans. The proposed amendments apply to rural lands
but do not propose to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Goal 9 does identify land use controls and ordinances as
one of a suite of economic development tools. Disallowing future recreational production sites and future
marijuana processing will not impact the availability of marijuana products from medical dispensaries or retail and
Page 3 of 5 - EXHIBIT H TO ORDINANCE NO. 2021-004
wholesale outlets. Maintaining the assortment of land uses that are allowed in Deschutes County contributes to
a diverse economy. Therefore, the text amendment complies with Goal 9.
Goal 10: Housing: This goal is not applicable because, unlike municipalities, unincorporated areas are not obligated
to fulfill certain housing requirements.

County's Plan or implementing regulations regarding public facilities and services.
Goal 12: Transportation: The proposed text amendments do not propose to change the County's Plan or
implementing regulations regarding the Transportation System Plan; therefore, they are in compliance.
Goal 13: Energy Conservation: Complies because the text amendments do not propose to change the County's
Plan or implementing regulations regarding energy conservation.
Goal 14: Urbanization: Complies because the text amendments do not propose to change the County's Plan or
implementing regulations regarding urbanization.
Goals 15 through 19 are not applicable to the proposed text amendments because the County does not contain
these types of lands.
D. Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan
Chapter 1, Comprehensive Planning: This chapter sets the Goals and Policies of how the County will involve the
community and conduct land use planning. As described above, the proposed regulations were discussed at
several work sessions with the Board of County Commissioners, as well as presented to the Planning Commission,
which is the County's official committee for public involvement. The Board of County Commissioners will receive
oral and written testimony.
These actions also satisfy the Goals and relevant Policies of Section 1.3, Land Use Planning Policies. Goal 1 of this
section is to "maintain an open and public land use process in which decisions are based on the objective
evaluation of facts." Staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board reviewed the text amendments.
Chapter 2, Resource Management: This chapter sets the Goals and Policies of how the County will protect
resource lands, including but not limited to, Agriculture and Forest as well as Water Resources and Environmental
Quality.
Section 2.2, Agricultural Lands Policies, states that Goal 1 is to "preserve and maintain agricultural lands and
the agricultural industry." The Opt Out and these corresponding amendments only impact future recreational
production and processing businesses and medical marijuana processing facilities. Existing marijuana
businesses will not be impacted nor will the Opt Out impact or prohibit future medical dispensaries or
production sites, or future recreational retail or wholesale.
Goal 2 promotes a diversified, sustainable, revenue -generating agricultural sector. Policy 2.2.10 calls for the
promotion of economically viable opportunities and practices while Policy 2.2.11 encourages small farming
enterprises including but not limited to, niche markets and organic farming and valued -added projects. The
proposed text amendments only impact future recreational production and processing businesses and
medical marijuana processing facilities.

Goal 3 specifies the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) policies, classifications, and codes are consistent with local and
emerging agricultural conditions and markets. The voters of Deschutes County voted "no" to repealing the
opt -out ordinances on November 3, 2020. As noted above for Statewide Goal 3, opting out is permitted by
state statutes; the proposed text amendments are necessary to align the Deschutes County Code land use
provisions with the results of the opt out election. As noted above, the proposed amendments only impact
future recreational production and processing businesses and medical marijuana processing facilities.
