Deschutes County, Oregon
WHEREAS, pursuant to Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 734-020-0016, the Board of
County Commissioners, as a road authority, have been delegated authority under Oregon Revised
Statute (ORS) 810.180 by the Oregon Department of Transportation to designate maximum speeds
on low -volume roads under County jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, by Order No. 98-065, the Board of County Commissioners designated a
maximum speed of 35 miles per hour on Lakeview Drive from Cinder Butte Drive to Apache Road;
and
WHEREAS, by Order No. 99-060, the Board of County Commissioners designated a
maximum speed of 35 miles per hour on all of Shoshone Road; and
WHEREAS, by Order No. 99-081, the Board of County Commissioners designated a
maximum speed of 35 miles per hour on Choctaw Road from River Woods Drive (west intersection) to

WHEREAS, the Deschutes County Road Department has determined that the maximum
speeds designated on said road segments by Order Nos. 98-065, 99-060, and 99-081 are no longer
contextually appropriate, given that the territory adjacent to said road segments presently meets the
definition of a "residence district" as defined in ORS 801.430; and
WHEREAS, the Deschutes County Road Department has determined that the statutory speed
of 25 miles per hour for roads in a residence district, as established by ORS 811.111, is the
appropriate maximum speed for said road segments; now, therefore
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON,
HEREBY ORDERS as follows:
Section 1. That Order Nos. 98-065, 99-060, and 99-081 are hereby rescinded.

BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
MEETING DATE: Wednesday, October 13, 2021
SUBJECT: Consideration of Order No. 2021-052, Rescinding Orders Nos. 98-065, 99-060,
and 99-081, Regarding Designated Speeds on Portions of Lakeview Drive,
Shoshone Road, and Choctaw Road
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Order No. 2021-052.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Pursuant to Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 734-020-0016, the Board of County
Commissioners, as a road authority, have been delegated authority under Oregon Revised
Statute (ORS) 810.180 by the Oregon Department of Transportation to designate maximum
speeds on low -volume roads under County jurisdiction. With Orders Nos. 98-065, 99-060,
and 99-081, the Board designated a maximum speed of 35 miles per hour on the following
road segments within the Deschutes River Woods subdivision:
Lakeview Drive, from Cinder Butte Drive to Apache Road
• All of Shoshone Road
• Choctaw Road, from River Woods Drive (west intersection) to Pima Road
At the time these orders were adopted, Deschutes River Woods was characterized as a
suburban fringe area with low -density development, and the road segments listed above
had low traffic volumes. Presently, Deschutes River Woods is characterized as a suburban
residential area with medium -density development, and the road segments listed above
are experiencing much higher traffic volumes.
In response to requests from residence of Deschutes River Woods, the Road Department
has evaluated existing 35 mile -per -hour posted speed limits throughout Deschutes River
Woods and determined that the maximum speeds on the local road network in the
community should revert to the statutory speed for a residence district of 25 miles per
hour as established in ORS 811.111, as the area now meets the definition of a "residence
district' given in ORS 801.430. Because Orders Nos. 98-065, 99-060, and 99-081 serve as
speed zone orders that designate speeds that supersede statutory speeds, rescinding
Orders Nos. 98-065, 99-060, and 99-081 is required for the maximum speed on the road
segments listed above to revert to the statutory speed of 25 miles per hour.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Budget impacts will be minimal. Adoption of Order No. 2021-052 will require that the Road
Department remove five existing 35 mile -per -hour speed postings and install six or more
new 25 mile -per -hour speed postings. This work will be incorporated with other speed
posting improvement work in Deschutes River Woods that the Road Department is already
implementing.
