PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
CITIZEN INPUT:
• Judy Trego expressed appreciation for the Board's action reversing its course on
the proposed housing for male parolees on Wilson Avenue. She said although
the Board decided against siting this program in the Larkspur neighborhood,
constituents remain concerned about having this program in any residential
area whatsoever. She supported locating this type of housing on the County's
public safety campus.
Commissioners Adair and Chang spoke to the feasibility of determining a suitable
alternate location for this program.
BOCC MEETING APRIL 3, 2024 PAGE 1 OF 6
Dorinne Tye objected to the pollution of the natural environment and the negative
effects this has on wildlife and children. She stated her particular opposition to
noise and lead emissions from private aircraft and flight schools, saying this
continues unabated and with zero accountability.
Ryan Rudnick thanked the Board for canceling the Wilson Ave. housing program last
week, saying he appreciated that this action demonstrated support for resident
safety. He expressed hope that this program could be resurrected elsewhere in a
location that does not threaten the safety of women and children.

Chair Adair announced that agenda item 6. would be taken up next.
Consideration of the Establishment of a School Support Fee of 15% for the
Deschutes County Rural Enterprise Zone
Steve Curley, REDI Director, requested that the Board approve a resolution to
establish a school support fee of 15% for the Deschutes County Rural Enterprise
Zone and the Greater Redmond Area Enterprise Zone. Explaining that this fee
waives property taxes on certain investments made by eligible businesses, Curley
said the Bend -La Pine School District has agreed to this fee and would be
responsible for collecting it.
Curley further explained that in 2023, the Oregon State Legislature passed a bill
which extended the enterprise zone program and also allowed a school support
fee in years four and five of the abatement period. This tax abatement
opportunity offers 100% tax abatement on real and personal property by
companies which invest in communities by adding jobs at certain wage levels.
Curley explained how the abatement works and said this fee has been approved
by the Redmond and Sisters City Councils and the Redmond and Sisters School
Boards in addition to the Bend -La Pine School Board. Action by the Cities of Bend
and La Pine is forthcoming.
Commissioner Chang expressed interest in knowing g the total amount of property -
taxes abated under this program for each of the enterprise zones. Don Myll,
Bend Area Director for EDCO, provided statistics for the Bend enterprise zone
and noted that the tax district does not lose any income on extended
abatements; rather, the program defers collections to a future date.
DEBONE: Move approval of Resolution No. 2024-011 establishing a school
support fee of 15 percent for the Deschutes County Rural Enterprise
Zone and the Greater Redmond Area Enterprise Zone

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency / Community Change Grant
Application / Permission to Proceed
Peter Gutowsky, Community Development Director, presented a request for
authorization to apply for a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Community
Change Grant for a sub -area of Southern Deschutes County. If approved,
BOCC MEETING APRIL 3, 2024 PAGE 3 OF 6
Deschutes County would, in coordination with Neighborlmpact, Central Oregon
Intergovernmental Council, and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality,
apply for approximately $19,718,000 for certain projects relating to climate
action, pollution reduction and community engagement within a three-year
period.
Gutowsky proposed that Deschutes County apply for funding to be used in the
following ways:
• Promote the use of green infrastructure (aka nature -based solutions) to
protect and/or restore natural systems against the negative impacts of
climate change, while simultaneously providing benefits for people and
the environment;
• Support investments in low- and zero -emission technologies and energy
efficiency upgrades that can help decarbonize residential and commercial
buildings and decrease energy burdens;
• Assess indoor air quality and outdoor air pollution and provide
remediation to reduce the harmful effects of both; and
• Protect the quality of drinking water resources by addressing challenges
that inhibit access to clean drinking water.
Gutowsky shared a table detailing proposed project elements for each of the
three strategy areas —these include investments in home rehabilitation,
weatherization, and energy assistance for eligible property owners; fuels
reduction work on eligible private properties; upgrading conventional septic
systems to onsite wastewater alternative treatment technologies for eligible
homeowners; and deepening domestic wells for a more reliable water supply for
individual homeowners.
Commissioner Adair stressed the importance of installing alternative wastewater
treatment systems which are 95% effective in reducing nitrate loads into the
ground rather than systems which are only 70% effective. Gutowsky responded
that, if awarded, part of these grant funds could be used for a demonstration
project that could test these systems and determine their ability for performing
at the stated level in Southern Deschutes County. If the systems perform as
presented, the County could then advocate for the amendment of State rules to
allow these to be utilized in Oregon.
Commissioner DeBone stated he would not oppose considering opportunities to
pursue Goal 11 exceptions in existing platted areas.
County Forester Kevin Moriarty responded to questions about air curtain burners
and how effective these could be in reducing the amount of natural debris added
to the landfill.
BOCC MEETING APRIL 3, 2024 PAGE 4 OF 6
Commissioner Chang advised care in how the proposed project components
relating to fuels reduction are presented in the grant application and suggested
these be framed in terms of mitigating climate change or addressing CO2
emissions.
DEBONE: Move to authorize the application for a U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Community Change Grant as discussed
CHANG: Second
VOTE: CHANG: Yes
DEBONE: Yes
ADAIR: Chair votes yes. Motion Carried
5. Resolution No, 2024-009 adopting a supplemental budget to increase and
adjust appropriations within the Solid Waste Fund
Tim Brownell, Director of Solid Waste, explained that actual spending for the
construction of the Negus Transfer Station is anticipated to come in under the
available funds which resulted from the $21.4 million bond issued for this
project. Upon advice from bond counsel and the Finance department, Solid
Waste is requesting to transfer $910,000 from Fund 613 - Solid Waste Capital to
Fun U-' 610 - Solid Waste Operations and apply the remaining debt proceeds to the
upcoming June 2024 debt service payment.
DEBONE: Move approval of Resolution No. 2024-009 increasing and adjusting
appropriations within the Solid Waste Fund and the 2023-24
Deschutes County Budget

BOARD OF

MEETING DATE: April 3, 2024
SUBJECT: Approval of Improvement Agreement for Phase C-2 and the remaining
improvements for Phase C-1 of the Caldera Springs Destination Resort
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Board signature on Document No. 2024-254, an improvement
agreement for Phase C-2 and the remaining required improvements for Phase C-1 of the
Caldera Springs Destination Resort.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Phase C of the Caldera Springs expansion includes two subdivisions. The first is a 16-lot
subdivision for overnight lodging units \QL I s) and the Second is a 72-lot residential
subdivision. The developer elected to plat Phase C in sub -phases. Phase C-1, which was
platted and recorded on January 11, 2023, included 37 single-family residential lots and 16
OLUs on eight lots. The developer is now moving forward with the platting of Phase C-2,
which includes 35 single-family residential lots and 14 OLUs on seven lots.
The developer requests an improvement agreement related to the infrastructure costs
associated with the roads and utilities for the OLU division of Phase C-2. The developer
further proposes incorporating required improvements associated with the Phase C-1
OLU subdivision into this improvement agreement. This change requires an amendment to
recorded County Document No. 2022-954. The remaining improvements required will be
accounted for in the new Phase C-2 improvement agreement.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
None.

costs and expenses of completion or repair of the Required Improvements.

the Security or Warranty Security after County provides written notice to Surety in the
form prescribed by the Surety, or the Required Improvements are not installed within a

repairing the Required improvements, the costs of obtaining the proceeds of the Security,
Warranty Security, or other security, all incidental costs to the extent not covered by the

REVIEW PERIOD: The TP application was submitted on March 3, 2022. Staff deemed the TP
application incomplete on April 1, 2022. The applicant provided a response to the incomplete letter
on April 12, 2022. Staff deemed the application complete on April 12, 2022. The 1501" day on which
the County must take final action on the TP application is September 9, 2022.
PUBLIC AGENCY COMMENTS: The Planning Division mailed notice of the TP application on March
10, 2022 to several public agencies. Staff received the following responses.
Deschutes County Building Official, Randy Scheid (March 10, 2022)
NOTICE., The Deschutes County Building Safety Divisions code mandates that Access, Egress, Setbacks, Fire
& Life Safety, Fire Fighting Water Supplies, etc. must be specifically addressed during the appropriate plan
review process with regard to any proposed structures and occupancies.
Accordingly, all Building Code required items will be addressed, when a specific structure, occupancy, and
type of construction is proposed and submitted for plan review.
Deschutes County Senior Transportation Planner, Peter Russell (March 14, 2022)
I have reviewed the transmittal materials for file 247-22-000182-TP for a 16-lot subdivision with two
overnight lodging units (OLUs) on each lot in the Coldera Springs destination resort at 17800 Vandevert
Rd., aka County Assessor's Map 20-11-00, Tax Lot 103, The proposal is consistent with the approved
Conceptual Master Plan (CMP) and Final Master Plan (FMP) and no additional traffic analysis is required.
The properties utilize a private road system which accesses Vandevert Road, a public road maintained by
Deschutes County and functionally classified as a collector. The property has an access approved by
Deschutes County (File 247-009321-DA) and thus meets the access permit requirements of Deschutes
County Code (DCC) 17.48.210(A).
Board Resolution 2013-020 sets a transportation system development charge (SDC) rate of $4,757 per
p.m. peak hour trip. Recreational homes generate 0.28 p.m. peak hour trips, the applicable SDC would be
$1,332 ($4,757 X 0.28) per OLU. If the rooms can be independently rented, then for SDC purposes the
$1,257 is per room as each room would function an OLU. If the rooms cannot be independently rented,
then the SDC is per structure. The SDCs are not due until development occurs. Once development occurs,
the SDC is due prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy; if a certificate of occupancy is not applicable,
then the SDC is due within 60 days of the land use decision becoming final.
THE PROVIDED SDC AMOUNT IS ONLY VALID UNTIL JUNE 30, 2022. DESCHUTES COUNTY'S SDC RATE IS
INDEXED AND RESETS EVERYJULY 1. WHEN PAYING AN SDC, THE ACTUAL AMOUNT DUE IS DETERMINED
BY USING THE CURRENT SDC RATE AT THE DATE THE BUILDING PERMIT IS PULLED.

III. FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
FMP CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Conditions of approval were required as part of the Annexation CMP Decision and the Board of
County Commissioners ("BoCC") Remand Decision. The majority of conditions of approval from the
Annexation CMP Decision and the BoCC Remand Decision were carried over and relevant to the
Paee 7 of 55
FMP. In his decision, the Hearings Officer ("HOff") labeled the relevant Annexation CMP Decision
conditions as "CMP" followed by the respective condition number. The Hoff labeled the BoCC
Remand Decision conditions as "R" followed by the respective condition number.
The Hoff also included a number of staff and applicant recommended conditions. These conditions
were included based upon the HOffs conclusion that staff and applicant recommended conditions
were necessary to satisfy relevant approval criteria. The HOff labeled staff recommended conditions
as "S" followed by an identification number. The Hoff labeled applicant recommended conditions
as "A' followed by an identification number.
The BoCC Remand Decision modified Annexation CMP conditions #8, #11, #12 and #18. For this
reason, those Annexation CMP conditions were not included in the FMP decision. Additionally, the
Hoff found Remand Decision condition #4 was not applicable and, therefore, was not included in
the FMP decision.
As noted in the FMP findings for BoCC condition #6, Vandevert Road ingress and egress is allowed
by both CMP condition #2 and BoCC condition #6 with egress from the Resort onto Vandevert
restricted to right turn movements only. Also, the HOff noted that BoCC condition #8 reflects the
current DCC ratio requirements and updates the ratio referenced in CMP condition #6A.
CMP 1. Approval is based upon the application, site plan, specifications, and
supporting documentation submitted by the Applicant. Any substantial
change in this approved use will require review through a new land use
application.
FINDING: Staff includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance.
Application Materials. Approval is based upon the application, site plan, specifications, and
supporting documentation submitted by the applicant. Any substantial change in this approved use
will require review through a new land use application.
PRIOR TO FINAL PLAT
CMP 5. The approach apron to Vandevert Road must be paved to reduce the amount
of gravel and debris tracked onto Vandevert Road from the property.
FINDING: The applicant was required to pave the Vandevert Road approach apron in conjunction
with final plat approval for Phase A (247-21-0001014-FPA, 21-1015-FPA). This requirement has been
met.
CMP 6. Before approval of each final plat, all the following shall be provided.
A. Documentation demonstrating compliance with the 2.5 to 1 ratio as
defined in DCC 18.113.060(D)(2),
FINDING: The applicant provided the following findings,
Page 8 of 55
As discussed above, the FMP imposed a 2.3:1 ratio rather than the county's standard 2.5:1
ratio. The chart show in the above sections demonstrate how the applicant has met the 2.3:1
ratio and explains that if sufficient OLUs are not constructed, that bonding will be used to
ensure compliance with this standard.
As noted in the BOCC's decision on the FMP, the subject property is an expansion of the existing
Resort. As such, any calculation regarding compliance with the required ratio must take into
consideration the existing residential units and OL-Us. The existing Resort and annexation property
(Phase A and B) includes 420 residential lots and 242 OLUs. The proposed residential subdivision
and companion OLU subdivision will increase those numbers to 492 residential lots and 274 OLUs.
This total provides a 1.79 to 1 ratio, well below the maximum 2.3 to 1 ratio. However, within the
annexation expansion area, currently, only the Phase A OLU subdivision (32 units) and companion
residential subdivision (70 lots) are platted. The OLU and companion residential subdivision
tentative plat for Phase B were approved on May 4, 2022 but have not yet been platted.
The applicant provided a summary table which staff has included below.

For Phase A and Phase B, the applicant proposed 32 and 14 OLUs, respectively. For Phase C the
applicant proposes 32 OLUs to be constructed on 16 separate lots. The applicant has recently
submitted building permits for five OLUs within Phase A and anticipates additional permit
submittals to follow.
With approval of the Phase C OLU and companion residential subdivision plat, a total of 214 OLUs
are required to be in place or guaranteed through surety bonding. As of the writing of this staff
report, 196 OLUs are constructed, leaving at least 18 required to ensure compliance with the
approved 2.3:1 ratio. Depending on the timing of construction of the OLUs, if the 18 OLUs are not
completed by the time of recording of the Phase C plats, the applicant will be required to provide
bonding or other security to ensure that all required OLUs are in place or guaranteed through
bonding. Staff adds a condition of approval to ensure compliance.
Page 9 of 55
Final Plat - OLU and Residential: Prior to the recordation of the final plat of Phase C, the applicant
shall submit one of the following to ensure that a minimum of 214 OLUs, or the minimum necessary
to meet the 2.3:1 ratio, are provided to demonstrate compliance with this condition of approval:
A. Documentation that a minimum of 214 OLUs are constructed; or
B. Bonding or other security to ensure that a minimum of 214 OLUs are constructed or
otherwise guaranteed.
B. Documentation on all individually -owned residential units counted as
overnight lodging, including all of the following.
1) Designation on the plat of any individually -owned units that
are going to be counted as overnight lodging,
FINDING: The applicant states the final plat will comply with this condition. To ensure compliance,
staff includes a condition of approval.
Plat Designation. The plat shall designate all individually -owned units that will be counted as OLUs.
2) Deed restrictions requiring the individually -owned residential
units designated as overnight lodging units to be available for
rental at least 38 weeks each year through a central
reservation and check -in service operated by the resort or by a
real estate property manager, as defined in ORS 696.010,
3) An irrevocable provision in the resort Conditions, Covenants
and Restrictions ("CC&Rs) requiring the individually'owned
residential units designated as overnight lodging units to be
available for rental at least 38 weeks each year through a
central reservation and check -in service operated by the resort
or by a real estate property manager, as defined in ORS
696.010,
4) A provision in the resort CC&R's that all property owners within
the resort recognize that failure to meet the conditions in DCC
18.113.060(L)(6)(b)(iii) is a violation of Deschutes County Code
and subject to code enforcement proceedings by the County,
5) Inclusion of language in any rental contract between the owner
of an individually -owned residential unit designated as an
overnight lodging unit and any central reservation and check
in service or real estate property manager requiring that such
unit be available for rental at least 38 weeks each year through
a central reservation and check -in service operated by the
resort or by a real estate property manager, as defined in ORS
696.010, and that failure to meet the conditions in DCC
18.113.060(L)(6)(b)(v) is a violation of Deschutes County Code
and subject to code enforcement proceedings by the County.
Page 10 of 55
FINDING: The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ("Declaration") imposes these
requirements. To ensure compliance staff includes the following condition of approval.
Declaration. Prior to, or concurrent with, the OLU plat recording, the owner shall record the
Declaration, as amended and detailed in this decision.
AT ALL TIMES
CMP 7. No new or expanded industrial, commercial or recreational use shall project
lighting directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into existing airport
approach surfaces except where necessary forsafe and convenient air travel.
Lighting for these uses shall incorporate shielding in their designs to reflect
light away from airport approach surfaces. No use shall imitate airport
lighting or impede the ability of pilots to distinguish between airport lighting
and other lighting.
FINDING: No new or expanded industrial, commercial or recreational uses are proposed. This
condition does not apply.
CMP 9. The Declaration shall be revised to require the developer to comply with the
fence standards pursuant to DCC 18.88.070.
FINDING: Based on staffs review of the revised Declaration, Section 7.1 was amended to comply
with this condition. As noted above, staff includes a condition of approval requiring the Declaration
be recorded prior to, or concurrent with, final plat.
CMP 10. Prior to development of each phase of the resort expansion, the developer
shall submit to the Planning Division an erosion control plan for that phase.
FINDING: The applicant submitted the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, which covers the area
dedicated to the subject OLU subdivision and the companion residential subdivision. The Plan
details the location of anticipated ground disturbance, sediment and debris fencing, and
construction entrance. The Plan also notes the use of erosion and sediment control best
management practices throughout the construction phase. This criterion is met.
CMP 13. Except as otherwise specified herein, all development (including structures,
site obscuring fences of over three feet in height and changes to the natural
topography of the land) shall be setback from exterior property lines as
follows:
A. Three hundred fifty feet for commercial development including all
associated parking areas;
B. Two hundred fifty feet for multi family development and visitor
oriented accommodations (except for single family residences)
including all associated parking areas;
C. One hundred fifty feet for above grade development other than that
listed in DCC 18.113.060(G)(2)(a)(i) and (ii), including any installed
landscaped berms,
D. One hundred feet for roads,
E. Fifty feet for golf courses, and
F. Fifty feet for jogging trails and bike paths where they abut private
developed lots and no setback for where they abut public roads and
public lands.
G. Notwithstanding Condition of Approval No. 13(C)" above grade
development other than that listed in DCC 18.113.060(G)(2)(a)(i) and
(ii) shall be set back 250 feet in circumstances where state highways
coincide with exterior property lines.
H. The setbacks identified in Condition of Approval No. 13 shall not apply
to entry roadways and signs.
FINDING: The annexation property was reviewed and approved as an expansion of the existing
Caldera Springs Resort. For this reason, staff finds the exterior property lines are the exterior
property lines of the combined existing Resort and annexation property. In other words, none of
the common property lines between the existing Resort and annexation property are considered
exterior property lines for this purposes of these conditions. The HOff confirmed this interpretation
in the FMP decision.
Based on staffs review of the TP, all development on the proposed OLU lots will comply with the
250-foot setback requirement of subsection (B) above, and the 1010-foot setbaci< for roads under
subsection (D).
CMP 14 through 19.
FINDING: These conditions apply to the annexation property as a whole, rather than to the specific
OLU subdivision proposed under this TP application.
CMP 20. The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) and/or Bylaws for the
resort shall include a specific provision for funding of the Wildlife Report
requirements and retention of a professional biologist.
FINDING: As noted above, staff includes a condition of approval requiring the Declaration to be
recorded prior to, or concurrent with, the final plat. This condition will be met.
CMP 21. The resort shall comply with the approved Wildfire Management Plan.
As noted in the FMP decision, the Hearings Officer found the original reference to Condition of Approval No.
11 is an error. The Hearings Officer revised conditions G and H to reference Condition of Approval 13, to
address this error.
FINDING: The required recordation of the Declaration, which itself requires compliance with the
Wildfire Management Plan, will ensure compliance with this condition.
CMP 22 through 24.
FINDING: Recordation of the Declaration, which requires compliance with these conditions, will
ensure compliance.
R 3. Uses in the Wildlife Mitigation Tract ("WMT"). The only uses permitted within the
WMT shall be the access road depicted on the Site Plan and soft walking/hiking
paths, as generally depicted on the Site Plan. The following additional restrictions
will apply to uses in the WMT:
A. Recreation. To offset potential disturbance -or disruption -related indirect
effects of humans, the WMT will not include the use of any bicycle, mountain
bike or other mechanical vehicles, except as may be reasonably required for
wildfire and wildlife treatments within the WMT as contemplated by the
wildfire and wildlife reports adopted as part of Annexation 1.
B. Dogs. The CC&Rs for the Resort shall specifically include a requirement that
no off -leash dogs shall be permitted in the Resort, unless located within a
fenced dog park located within the Resort, but outside the Wildlife Mitigation
Tract.
C. Access Road Operation. The access road through the WMT shall be designated
as a homeowner access road, limited to homeowner and construction traffic
only. The access road as depicted on the Site Plan shall be r elocated west to
be within or immediately adjacent to the powerline easement. No gatehouse
or guest station shall be permitted at the access point. Appropriate signage
shall be installed directing Resort guests and visitors to the main resort
entrance on South Century Drive.
i. Gates shall be installed and maintained as reasonably practical at the
south terminus of the Resort roadway and Vandevert Road, at the
interior location set forth on the Site Plan. The gates shall be closed
and operable by a key card, vehicle transponders or other similar
equipment 24 hours per day.
ii. The access road shall be designed in a manner to reduce speeds
(including one or more of the following features: sinuous alignment,
bulb outs, traffic calming features) and shall be posted with a 20 MPH
limit and identified as a wildlife corridor.
iii. Educational signage shall be placed in an appropriate location at the
boundary of the WMT identifying the area as such, and explaining the
need not to disturb habitat or species within the WMT.
D. Structures. No structures other than the access road, gates and proposed
walking trails as shown on the Site Plan shall be permitted in the WMT.
E. Management in the WMT. Consistent with the wildlife management report
prepared for the Resort, the following management measures shall be
implemented.
i. Rock Outcrops. Rock outcrops and piles provide unique habitat
qualities and serve as a keystone habitat niche within the WMT.
Accordingly, any management activities should avoid such outcrops
and the surrounding vegetation,
ii. Snags. Standing snags provide important habitat niches, especially for
avian and small mammal species. Accordingly, all existing wildlife
snags should be retained, unless they are determined to pose a
wildfire hazard.
F. Other Habitat Conservation Measures. Vegetation shall be monitored, and
weeds and non-native plants will be controlled and eradicated when
possible,
i. Brush patches will be maintained in a mosaic pattern to provide
various stages of growth so that both cover and forage are provided.
Vegetation management activities performed in the WMT shall be
performed in the fall or spring (outside of deer winter season) when
areas are accessible and not under fire restrictions, except that any
mowing is not to occur in the spring when there is bird nesting,
ii. Ponderosa pine trees (dead and living) will be preserved where
possible;
iii. Downed logs will be retained for their wildlife value where possible,
iv. Firewood cutting or vegetation alteration beyond that prescribed as
management for increased habitat value or as management for
wildfire risk, will not be permitted,
V. Prior to Final Plat Approval, nest boxes will be installed. Said nest
boxes shall be maintained to benefit native bird species;
A Prior to Final Plat Approval, bat boxes will be installed on trees to
benefit native bat species;
vii. New fences are prohibited in the WMT;
viii. Livestock will not be kept or allowed on the Annexation Property;
ix. The proposed development will prohibit the recreational use of off -
road motor vehicles within the WMT. Motorized vehicle use in the
WMT will only be allowed for management or emergency fire vehicle
access,
X. The lots that are directly adjacent to the WMT will have 25 foot
setback requirements to protect the wildlife value of the area,
xi. A program for proper garbage storage and disposal will be instituted
for all resort residences and facilities. The program will be designed
to reduce the availability of human -generated food resources to
predators and corvids (crows, ravens, and jays) known to predate
other wildlife species,
xii. An educational program for local residents will be initiated regarding
the native wildlife populations using the WMT and the need to avoid
disturbance of species within the WMT. Educational materials will
include newsletters, flyers, signage on trails, or other similar outreach
tools,
xiii. No fireworks of any type will be allowed,
xiv. No use of drones will be allowed, and
xv. No hunting, discharge of firearms or trapping will be allowed.
FINDING: Condition R3 applies to restrictions within the WMT. Because the proposed OLU
subdivision does not include any portion of the WMT, staff finds these conditions do not apply.
R 5. The Applicant shall be permitted to construct residential and overnight lodging units
in an amount not to exceed 100 EDUs (residential unit =1 EDU, overnight lodging unit
= 0.5 EDU) prior to any upgrades to the current wastewater treatment plant. Prior
to issuance of any building permit for a residential use or an overnight lodging unit
beyond 100 EDUs, the Applicant shall submit evidence that Sunriver Environmental
has completed the treatment plant upgrades identified in the September 18, 2018
email from DEQ and that DEQ has issued an appropriate WPCF permit, amendment
or supplement authorizing the operation of upgraded wastewater treatment
facilities serving the expansion area.
FINDING: The previously approved and platted Phase A includes 86 EDUs2. Phase B includes 37
EDUs3. The subject OLU subdivision will include 16 EDUs and the companion Phase C 72-lot
residential subdivision will include 72 EDUs, for a total of 88 EDUs.4 Together, Phase A, B, and C will
include 211 EDUs. Similar to Phase B, the applicant agrees to a condition of approval to ensure

The authorization of a permit for a destination resort shall consist of three steps.
C. Site Plan Review. Each element or development phase of the destination resort must
receive additional approval through the required site plan review (DCC 18.124) or
subdivision process (DCC Title 17). In addition to findings satisfying the site plan or
subdivision criteria, findings shall be made that the specific development proposal
complies with the standards and criteria of DCC 18.113 and the FMP.
FINDING: In compliance with this criterion, the applicant submitted a tentative plan application for
a 16-lot subdivision. The applicable criteria in Title 17, DCC 18.113 and the FMP are addressed in
this decision.
Section 18113110. Provision of Streets, Utilities, Developed Recreational Facilities and
Visitor Oriented Accommodations.
A. The Planning Director or Hearings Body shall find that all streets, utilities, developed
recreational facilities and visitor oriented accommodations required by the FMP are
physically provided or are guaranteed through surety bonding or substantial
financial assurances approved by the County prior to closure of sale of individual

Chapter 17.16, Approval of Subdivision Tentative Plans and Master Development Plans
Section 17 16.040. Protective Covenants and Homeowner Association Agreements.
Landowner covenants, conditions, and restrictions and homeowner association
agreements are not relevant to approval of subdivisions and partitions under DCC Title 17,
unless otherwise determined by the County to carry out certain conditions of approval,
such as road maintenance or open space preservation. Any provisions in such agreements
not in conformance with the provisions of DCC Title 17 or applicable zoning ordinances are
void.
FINDING: The owner's Declaration is necessary to carry out conditions of approval related to the
FMP, as discussed herein. For this reason, staff finds the Declaration is relevant to the approval of
the subject 16-lot OLU subdivision. As noted above, staff includes a condition of approval requiring
the owner to record the Declaration.
Section 17.16.050, Master Development Plan.
An overall master development plan shall be submitted for all developments affecting land
under the same ownership for which phased development is contemplated. The master
plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following elements:
A. Overall development plan, including phase or unit sequence,
B. Show compliance with the comprehensive plan and implementing land use
ordinances and policies,
C. Schedule of improvements, initiation and completion;
D. overall transportation and traffic pattern plan, including bicycle, pedestrian and
public transit transportation facilities and access corridors,
E. Program timetable projection;
F. Development plans for any common elements or facilities;
G. If the proposed subdivision has an unknown impact upon adjacent lands or lands
within the general vicinity, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may require a
potential development pattern for streets, bikeways and access corridors for
adjoining lands to be submitted together with the tentative plan as part of the
master development plan for the subject subdivision.
FINDING: The CMP and FMP approvals demonstrate compliance with these criteria.
Section 17.16.060 Master Development Plan Approval.
The Planning Director or Hearings Body shall review a master development plan at the
same time the tentative plan for the first phase is reviewed. The Planning Director or
Hearings Body may approve, modify or disapprove the master plan and shall set forth
findings for such decision. The Planning Director or Hearings Body may also attach
conditions necessary to bring the plan into compliance with all applicable land use
20 of 55_ _—
ordinances and policies. Any tentative plan submitted for the plan area shall conform to
the master plan unless approved otherwise by the County. Master plan approval shall be
granted for a specified time period by the Planning Director or Hearings Body, and shall be
included in the conditions of approval.
FINDING: This decision reviews the TP against the CMP and FMP approvals. Relevant conditions of
the CMP and FMP approvals are addressed in this decision.
Section 17.16.070, Development Following Approval.
Once a master plan is approved by the County, the plan shall be binding upon both the
County and the developer; provided, however, after five years from the date of approval of
the plan, the County may initiate a review of the plan for conformance with applicable
County regulations. If necessary, the County may require changes in the plan to bring it
into conformance.
FINDING: This TP was applied for within 5 years of the FMP. This criterion is met.
Section 17 16.080 Tentative Plan as a Master Plan.
A. As an alternative to the filing of a master plan for phased development, the
applicant may file a tentative plan for the entire development. The plan must
comply with the provisions of DCC Title 17 for tentative plans.
B. .f the applicant proposed to phase development, he shall provide sufficient
information regarding the overall development plan and phasing sequence when
submitting the tentative plan.
C. if the tentative plan is approved with phasing, the final plat for each phase shall be
filed in accordance with DCC 17.24.020 through 17.24.110.
FINDING: The CMP and FMP approvals are the master plans for the annexation property.
Section 17.16.090. Tentative Plan Approval.
A. The Hearings Body shall review the application and any comments submitted by
other appropriate County, state, or federal agencies and shall render a decision in
accordance with DCC 17.16.100, setting forth findings supporting its decision.
FINDING: This decision captures staffs analysis of the application and agency comments. This
decision is issued in accordance with DCC 17.16.100.
B. Approval of the tentative plan shall not constitute final acceptance of the plat of
the proposed subdivision for purposes of recording, however, approval of such
tentative plan shall be binding upon the County for the purposes of preparation and
review of the final plat. Upon review of the final plat, the County may require
compliance with the terms of its tentative plan approval of the proposed subdivision
21 of 55
and the terms of DCC Title 17.
FINDING: This decision will be used to review the final plat for compliance.
Section 17.16.100. Required Findings for Approval.
A tentative plan for a proposed subdivision shall not be approved unless the Planning
Director or Hearings Body finds that the subdivision as proposed or modified will meet the
requirements of DCC Title 17 and DCC Title 18 through 21, and is in compliance with the
comprehensive plan. Such findings shall include, but not be limited to, the following.
FINDING: This decision addresses the requirements of Chapters 17 and 18, as well as compliance
with the FMP. The requirements of the Comprehensive Plan are codified within the Zoning
Ordinance. Because no change to the Comprehensive Plan is sought by this application,
conformance with Chapters 17 and 18 also indicates conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
A. The subdivision contributes to orderly development and land use patterns in the
area, and provides for the preservation of natural features and resources such as
streams, lakes, natural vegetation, special terrain features, agricultural and forest
lands and other natural resources.
FINDING: Previous Deschutes County approvals of the CMP and FMP for the annexation property
demonstrated general compliance with the criteria for orderly development and land use patterns
in the area. The only notable natural lealure within the annexation property is the existing pine
forest throughout the property. As approved under the FMP, a significant portion of this pine forest
will be preserved via the Wildlife Mitigation Tract.
In the CMP decision, the Hearings Officer concluded,
...the expansion property is generally flat with no significant topographic features on -site.
Additionally, the subject property contains no habitat of threatened or endangered species,
and no natural streams, rivers, wetlands, or riparian vegetation.
The subject property includes no lands zoned for farm use. While the property is zoned for forest
use, the Destination Resort Combining Zone allows for the establishment of the proposed use.
Further, as noted above, a significant portion of the existing pine forest will be preserved as part of
the overall development of the annexation property. For these reasons, staff finds this criterion will
be met.
B. The subdivision will not create excessive demand on public facilities and services,
and utilities required to serve the development.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings,
In connection with the CMP and FMP approvals, the applicant demonstrated that the resort
as a whole will not create an excessive demand on public facilities, services or utilities. One
condition of approval requires that prior to final plat of any property, the applicant
demonstrate that the property is within the Sunriver Water service territory. As part of the
Phase A plats, the applicant provided the county with a copy of the order demonstrating that
all resort property is within the exclusive territory of Sunriver Water. In order to expand its
service territory, the utility had to demonstrate that it has adequate capacity to serve the
property. Similarly, a condition requires that development beyond 100 EDUs not occur until
Sunriver Environmental has completed upgrades of its treatment facility. Those upgrades
have been approved and are underway. Because approval of the Phase C plats (together
with Phase C OLU plat), would allow for construction of lots and EDUs in excess of 100 EDUs,
the applicant anticipates a condition of approval preventing the issuance of building permits
for units which would exceed the 100 EDU limit. The applicant notes that the plans upgrades
are anticipated to be complete in approximately one year, and further notes that it is
extremely unlikely that the county will be in the position to issue building permits beyond
the 100 EDUs prior to completion of the plant upgrades.
The CMP and FMP decisions demonstrate the uses envisioned for the annexation property
will not create excessive demand on public facilities, public services and utilities required to
serve the development. The applicant submitted signed agreements for sewer and water
service. Specific to water, the applicant submitted evidence indicating the annexation
property has been included into the service territory for Sunriver Water. Per the FMP, the
only transportation related mitigation measures which were required are the paving of the
apron and the right -out turning movement at the Elk Rune d Drive aiiu vVa ai i evert Road
intersection. No off -site mitigation measures to address transportation impacts were
identified or required. The record for the CMP includes intent to serve letters from Cascade
Natural Gas for natural gas; Midstate Electric Cooperative, Inc. for electricity; Bend
Broadband for telephone and cable services; Centurylink for telephone service; and
Wilderness Garbage & Recycling for solid waste service.
Based on the above, Staff agrees and finds this criterion will be met.
C. The tentative plan for the proposed subdivision meets the requirements of ORS
92.090.
FINDING: The requirements of ORS 92.090 are addressed in this decision.
D. For subdivision or portions thereof proposed within a Surface Mining Impact Area
(SMIA) zone under DCC Title 18, the subdivision creates lots on which noise or dust
sensitive uses can be sited consistent with the requirements of DCC 18.56, as
amended, as demonstrated by the site plan and accompanying information required
under DCC 17.16.030.
FINDING: The property is not within a SMIA Combining Zone. This criterion does not apply.
E. The subdivision name has been approved by the County Surveyor.
FINDING: Staff includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance.
Subdivision Name. Prior to final plat approval, the owner shall submit correspondence from the
County Surveyor approving the subdivision name. County Surveyor signature on the plat shall also
demonstrate compliance.
Section 17.16.105. Access to Subdivisions.
No proposed subdivision shall be approved unless it would be accessed by roads
constructed to County standards and by roads under one of the following conditions:
A. Public roads with maintenance responsibility accepted by a unit of local or state
government or assigned to landowners or homeowners association by covenant or
agreement, or
B. Private roads, as permitted by DCC Title 18, with maintenance responsibility
assigned to landowners or homeowners associations by covenant or agreement
pursuant to ORS 105, or
C. This standard is met if the subdivision would have direct access to an improved
collector or arterial or in cases where the subdivision has no direct access to such a
collector or arterial, by demonstrating that the road accessing the subdivision from
a collector or arterial meets relevant County standards that maintenance
responsibility for the roads has been assigned as required by this section.
FINDING: The subdivision will have direct access from Elk Run Drive, Lava Springs Loop, and
Trailwood Loop, private internal Resort roads to be maintained by the Homeowners Association.
Criterion (A) does not apply. Criteria (B) and (C) will be met.
Chapter 17.24, Final Plat.
Section 17.24.030, Submission for Phased Development.
A. if a tentative plan is approved for phased development, the final plat for the first
phase shall be filed within two years of the approval date for the tentative plan.
B. The final plats for any subsequent phase shall be filed within three years of the
recording date of the final plat for the first phase.
C. The applicant may request an extension for any final plat under DCC 17.24 in the
manner provided for in DCC 17.24.020(B).
D. if the applicant fails to file a final plat, the tentative plan for those phases shall
become null and void.
FINDING: The applicant provided the following findings,
The applicant proposes to develop Phase C in one to two phases. Phase C-1 (as depicted on
the plat) is for 8 lots, which Phase C-2 is also for 8 lots. The applicant understands that the
Phase C-2 plat would need to be filed within three years of the recording of Phase C-1.
As noted above, the 16-lot OLU subdivisions includes three phases. Staff adds a condition of
approval requiring final plat timing in accordance with the standards above.
Final Plat Phasing. The final plat for each phase shall be filed in accordance with DCC 17.24.020
through 17.24.110.
Section 17.24.120. Improvement Agreement.
A. The subdivider may, in lieu of completion of the required repairs to existing streets
and facilities, and improvements as specified in the tentative plan, request the
County to approve an agreement between himself and the County specifying the
schedule by which the required improvements and repairs shall be completed,
provided, however, any schedule of improvements and repairs agreed to shall not
exceed on[e] year from the date the final plat is recorded, except as otherwise
allowed by DCC 17.24.120(F) below. The agreement shall also provide the following.
FINDING: The applicant provided the following findings,
The applicant is not requesting an improvement I ien Agreement t for roads n utilities at this
t A ree� � ��n� ivi i Cain and U�liiu�..� rig this
time; however, as with the Phase A plats, the applicant anticipates that an improvement
agreement will be requested when the Phase C plats are recorded.
The applicant is not requesting an Improvement Agreement at this time. Any such request will need
to comply with the applicable criteria for improvement agreements.
Chapter 17.36, Design Standards
Section 17.36.020. Streets.
A. The location, width and grade of streets shall be considered in their relation to
existing and planned streets, topographical conditions, public convenience and
safety, and the proposed use of land to be served by the streets. The street system
shall assure an adequate traffic circulation system for all modes of transportation,
including pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles, with intersection angles, grades,
tangents and curves appropriate for the traffic to be carried, considering the
terrain. The subdivision or partition shall provide for the continuation of the
principal streets existing in the adjoining subdivision or partition or of their
property projection when adjoining property which is not subdivided, and such
streets shall be of a width not less than the minimum requirements for streets set
forth in DCC 17.36.
FINDING: The proposed streets serving the tentative plat were approved as part of the CMP and
FMP. The plat for the OLUs is being processed concurrently with the Phase C 72-lot residential plat.
The OLUs will obtain direct access via Elk Run Drive, the north -south spine, and Trailwood Loop
which is connected to Lava Springs Loop and Elk Run Drive in the Phase A plat. Elk Run drive provides
a connection to Vandevert Road. Being a part of a resort, the platted area will also be served with
multi -use paths, ensuring that all modes of transportation are accommodated in the circulation plan
for the platted area and the resort as a whole. Streets have been designed with the topography in
mind, ensuring that all grades meet established county standards. Street widths were approved as
part of the CMP/FMP approval process.
Staff finds this criterion will be met.
B. Streets in subdivisions shall be dedicated to the public, unless located in a
destination resort, planned community or planned or cluster development, where
roads can be privately owned. Planned developments shall include public streets
where necessary to accommodate present and future through traffic.
FINDING: The proposed streets within the destination resort subdivision will be private. This
criterion will be met.
Section 17.36.040. Existing Streets.
whenever existing streets, adjacent to or within a tract, are of inadequate width to
accommodate the increase in traffic expected from the subdivision or partition or by the
County roadway network plan, additional rights of way shall be provided at the time of the
land division by the applicant. During consideration of the tentative plan for the
subdivision or partition, the Planning Director or Hearings Body, together with the Road
Department Director, shall determine whether improvements to existing streets adjacent
to or within the tract, are required. If so determined, such improvements shall be required
as a condition of approval for the tentative plan. Improvements to adjacent streets shall
be required where traffic on such streets will be directly affected by the proposed
subdivision or partition.
FINDING: The Road Department did not identify any existing streets which require additional
dedication of right-of-way. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.36.OSO. Continuation of Streets.
Subdivision or partition streets which constitute the continuation of streets in contiguous
territory shall be aligned so that their centerlines coincide.
FINDING: The subdivision does not include any streets which constitute the continuation of any
existing streets in contiguous territory. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.36.060. Minimum Right of Way and Roadway Width.
The street right of way and roadway surfacing widths shall be in conformance with
standards and specifications set forth in DCC 17.48. Where DCC 17.48 refers to street
standards found in a zoning ordinance, the standards in the zoning ordinance shall prevail.
FINDING: Proposed roads within the subdivision including the northerly extension of Elk Run Drive,
Lava Springs Loop and Trailwood Loop. Proposed roads will have a 60-foot-wide right-of-way in
compliance with DCC 1748. This criterion will be met.
Section 17.36.070. Future Resubdivision.
Where a tract of land is divided into lots or parcels of an acre or more, the Hearings Body
may require an arrangement of lots or parcels and streets such as to permit future re -
subdivision in conformity to the street requirements and other requirements contained in
DCC Title 17.
FINDING: Given the property's intended use as part of a destination resort approved under a
master plan, staff finds it is unnecessary to modify the arrangement of lots and streets to permit
future re -subdivision.
Section 17.36.080. Future Extension of Streets.
When necessary to give access to or permit as arrisfactoryfuture division of adjoining land,
streets shall be extended to the boundary of the subdivision or partition.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings,
The county approved the overall resort circulation pattern in the CMP and FMP. As applied
to this subdivision, Elk Run Drive, which provides access to Vandervert Road and provides
the western boundary of the platted area and then into the existing portions of Caldera
Springs via Trailmere Circle. Fo[rest]brook Loop and Lava Springs Loop connect directly to
Elk Run Drive. Thus, all roads within the subdivision have been extended to the boundary of
this subdivision.
Staff agrees and finds that this criterion is met.
Section 17.36.100. Frontage Roads.
if a land division abuts or contains an existing or proposed collector or arterial street, the
Planning Director or Hearings Body may require frontage roads, reverse frontage lots or
parcels with suitable depth, screen planting contained in a non -access reservation along
the rear or side property line, or other treatment necessary for adequate protection of
residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic. All frontage
roads shall comply with the applicable standards of Table A of DCC Title 17, unless
specifications included in a particular zone provide other standards applicable to frontage
roads.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings,
The county approved the overall resort circulation pattern in the CMP and FMP. No frontage roads
were proposed. Access to the subdivision will be through Lava Springs Loop, Elk Run Drive, with
connections to Vandevert Road and Trailmere Circle in the existing Caldera Springs Resort. Frontage
roads are not required under this section.
Staff agrees and notes that the subdivision does not abut or contain an existing or proposed
collector or arterial street. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17 36.110. Streets Adjacent to Railroads, Freeways and Parkways.
When the area to be divided adjoins or contains a railroad, freeway or parkway, provision
may be required for a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right of
way at a distance suitable for use of the land between the street and railroad, freeway or
parkway. In the case of a railroad, there shall be a land strip of not less than 25 feet in
width adjacent and along the railroad right of way and residential property. If the
intervening property between such parallel streets and a freeway or a parkway is less than
80 feet in width, such intervening property shall be dedicated to park or thoroughfare use.
The intersections of such parallel streets, where they intersect with streets that cross a
railroad, shall be dete►mined with due consideration at cross streets of a minimum
distance required for approach grades to a future grade separation and right of way widths
of the cross street.
FINDING: The subdivision does not adjoin or contain a railroad, freeway or parkway. This criterion
does not apply.
Section 17.36.120. Street Names.
Except for extensions of existing streets, no street name shall be used which will duplicate
or be confused with the name of an existing street in a nearby city or in the County. Street
names and numbers shall conform to the established pattern in the County and shall
require approval from the County Property Address Coordinator.
FINDING: Staff includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance.
Street Names. Street names and numbers shall be approved by the County Property Address
Coordinator.
Section 17.36.130. Sidewalks.
A. Within an urban growth boundary, sidewalks shall be installed on both sides of a
public road or street and in any special pedestrian way within the subdivision or
partition, and along any collectors and arterials improved in accordance with the
subdivision or partition approval.
B. Within an urban area, sidewalks shall be required along frontage roads only on the
side of the frontage road abutting the development.
C. Sidewalk requirements for areas outside of urban areas are set forth in DCC
17.48.175. In the absence of a special requirement set forth by the Road Department
Director under DCC 17.48.030, sidewalks and curbs are never required in rural areas
outside unincorporated communities as that term is defined in DCC Title 18.
FINDING: The subject property is not within an urban growth boundary, in an urban area, or in an
unincorporated community. The Road Department did not require sidewalks under DCC 17.48.030.
These criteria do not apply.
Section 17.36.140. Bicycle, Pedestrian and Transit Requirements.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation within Subdivision.
A. The tentative plan for a proposed subdivision shall provide for bicycle and
pedestrian routes, facilities and improvements within the subdivision and to nearby
existing or planned neighborhood activity centers, such as schools, shopping areas
and parks in a manner that will:
1. Minimize such interference from automobile traffic that would discourage
pedestrian or cycle travel for short trips,
2. Provide a direct route of travel between destinations within the subdivision
and existing or planned neighborhood activity centers, and
3. Otherwise meet the needs of cyclists and pedestrians, considering the
destination and length of trip.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings,
The county approved the overall resort circulation pattern in the CMP and FMP. The resort,
as well as the area to be subdivided, include a complex of multi -use pedestrian paths, both
paved and unpaved. These facilities connect to the existing resort and will include future
connections to the Sunriver Business Park during construction of later phases of the resort.
The goal of providing these paths is for both recreational purposes and to minimize the need
for owners and guests to use automobiles when accessing resort services. Trail connections
extend all the way to Sunriver and provide a complete network of bicycle and pedestrian
routes throughout the resort, the subdivision and the larger Sunriver community.
Staff generally agrees and finds that this specific subdivision does not include multi -use paths.
Therefore, these criteria do not apply.
B. Subdivision layout.
1. Cul-de-sacs or dead-end streets shall be allowed only where, due to
topographical or environmental constraints, the size and shape of the parcel,
or a lack of through -street connections in the area, a street connection is
determined by the Planning Director or Hearings Body to be infeasible or
inappropriate. In such instances, where applicable and feasible, there shall
be a bicycle and pedestrian connection connecting the ends of cul-de-sacs to
streets or neighborhood activity centers on the opposite side of the block.
FINDING: The northern terminus of Elk Run Drive will terminate at the subdivision boundary. The
applicant proposes a hammerhead turnaround at the terminus of Elk Run Drive until such time as
the road is extended with future phases. The southern terminus of Trailwood Loop and eastern
terminus of Lava Springs Loop will also terminate at the subdivision boundary but will be extended
with future phases. The applicant has proposed a temporary looped gravel turnaround connecting
these two dead ends to satisfy the criteria above.
Fire Truck Turnaround: Prior to final plat approval, the owner shall submit correspondence from
the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District approving a turnaround design at the terminus of Elk Run
Drive and Trailwood Loop/Lava Springs Loop.
2. Bicycle and pedestrian connections between streets shall be provided at mid
block where the addition of a connection would reduce the walking or cycling
distance to an existing or planned neighborhood activity center by 400 feet
and by at least 50 percent over other available routes.
FINDING: The subdivision does not include bicycle and pedestrian connections. These criteria do
not apply.
3. Local roads shall align and connect with themselves across collectors and
arterials. Connections to existing or planned streets and undeveloped
properties shall be provided at no greater than 400 foot intervals.
4. Connections shall not be more than 400 feet long and shall be as straight as
possible.
FINDING: No connections to collectors or arterials are proposed. These criteria do not apply.
C. Facilities and Improvements.
1. Bikeways may be provided by either a separate paved path or an on street
bike lane, consistent with the requirements of DCC Title 17.
2. Pedestrian access may be provided by sidewalks or a separate paved path,
consistent with the requirements of DCC Title 17.
3. Connections shall have a 20 foot right of way, with at least a 10 foot usable
surface.
FINDING: The subdivision does not include bicycle and pedestrian connections. These criteria do
not apply.
Section 17.36.150. Blocks.
A. General. The length, width and shape of blocks shall accommodate the need for
adequate building site size, street width and direct travel routes for pedestrians and
cyclists through the subdivision and to nearby neighborhood activity centers, and
shall be compatible with the limitations of the topography.
B. Size. Within an urban growth boundary, no block shall be longer than 1,200 feet
between street centerlines. In blocks over 800 feet in length, there shall be a cross
connection consistent with the provisions of DCC 17.36.140.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
As part of the CMP and FMP approval, the county approved the width and shapes of the
blocks. The block pattern is designed for a resort development and is not intended to have
a grid pattern. The block pattern in the subdivision allows for a variety of lot sizes to
accommodate a range of building types/sizes. Both the streets and multi -use paths provide
direct travel routes throughout the site and to the surrounding area. The property is not
within an urban growth boundary, so subsection (B) does not apply.
Staff agrees and finds criterion A will be met. The property is not within an urban growth boundary.
Therefore, criterion B does not apply.
Section 17.36.160. Easements.
A. Utility Easements. €ase►•nents shall be provided along property lines when necessary
for the placement of overhead or underground utilities, and to provide the
subdivision or partition with electric power, communication facilities, street
lighting, sewer lines, water lines, gas lines or drainage. Such easements shall be
labeled "Public Utility Easement" on the tentative and final plat, they shall be at
least 12 feet in width and centered on lot lines where possible, except utility pole
guyline easements along the rear of lots or parcels adjacent to unsubdivided land
may be reduced to 10 feet in width.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
All lots include the easements required under this section. In addition, the CC&Rs for the
property include specific provisions for easements along property lines. As explained in
connection with the Phase B plats, where easements border the front property line, the
adjacent private street tracts are specifically permitted to include utilities. Consequently, the
effective easement area is the 10-foot area on the lot, together with the width of the private
street tract - well exceeding the 12-foot requirement.
Staff includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance.
Utility Easements. Easements shall be provided along property lines when necessary for the
placement of overhead or underground utilities, and to provide the subdivision or partition with
electric power, communication facilities, street lighting, sewer lines, water lines, gas lines or
drainage. Such easements shall be labeled "Public Utility Easement" on the tentative and final plat;
they shall be at least 12 feet in width and centered on lot lines where possible, except utility pole
guyline easements along the rear of lots or parcels adjacent to unsubdivided land may be reduced
to 10 feet in width.
B. Drainage. If a tract is traversed by a watercourse such as a drainageway, channel or
stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right of way
conforming substantially with the lines of the watercourse, or in such further width
as will be adequate for the purpose. Streets or parkways parallel to major
watercourses or drainageways may be required.
FINDING: The subject property is not traversed by a watercourse. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.36.170. Lots Size and Shape.
The size, width and orientation of lots or parcels shall be appropriate for the location of
the land division and for the type of development and use contemplated, and shall be
consistent with the lot or parcel size provisions of DCC Title 18 through 21, with the
following exceptions:
A. In areas not to be served by a public sewer, minimum lot and parcel sizes shall
permit compliance with the requirements of the Department of Environmental
Quality and the County Sanitarian, and shall be sufficient to permit adequate
sewage disposal. Any problems posed by soil structure and water table and related
to sewage disposal by septic tank shall be addressed and resolved in the applicant's
initial plan.
B. Where property is zoned and planned for business or industrial use, other widths
and areas may be permitted by the Hearings Body. Depth and width of properties
reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to
provide for the off street service and parking facilities required by the type of use
and development contemplated.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
The county approved the general lot size and orientation as part of the CMP and FMP
approvals. The lots are of various sizes and allow for generous setbacks and a variety of
building types. The property will be served by sewer facilities and is not designated for
business or industrial use, so subsections (A) and (B) do not apply.
Staff agrees and finds the applicable criteria will be met.
Section 17.36.180. Frontage.
A. Each lot or parcel shall abut upon a public road, or when located in a planned
_ _. 24_7.�22-M-01_82=.T_32 of 55
development or cluster development, a private road, for at least 50 feet, except for
lots or parcels fronting on the bulb of a cul de sac, then the minimum frontage shall
be 30 feet, and except for partitions off of U.S. Forest Service or Bureau of Land
Management roads. Frontage for partitions off U.S. Forest Service or Bureau of Land
Management roads shall be decided on a case by case basis based on the location
of the property, the condition of the road, and the orientation of the proposed
parcels, but shall be at least 20 feet. In the La Pine Neighborhood Planning Area
Residential Center District, lot widths may be less than 50 feet in width, as specified
in DCC 18.61, Table 2: La Pine Neighborhood Planning Area Zoning Standards. Road
frontage standards in destination resorts shall be subject to review in the
conceptual master plan.
B. All side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial to curved streets
wherever practical.
FINDING: Based on staffs review of the TP, these criteria will be met.
Section 17.36.190. Through Lots.
Lots or parcels with double frontage should be avoided except where they are essential to
provide separation of residential development from major street or adjacent
nonresidential activities to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and
orientation. A planting screen easement of at least 10 feet in width and across which there
shall be no right of access may be required along the lines of lots or parcels abutting such
a traffic artery or other incompat►ble use.
FINDING: No proposed lots have double frontage. This criterion will be met.
Section 17.36.200. Corner Lots.
Within an urban growth boundary, corner lots or parcels shall be a minimum of five feet
more in width than other lots or parcels, and also shall have sufficient extra width to meet
the additional side yard requirements of the zoning district in which they are located.
FINDING: The subject property is not within an urban growth boundary. This criterion does not
apply.
Section 17.36.210. Solar Access Performance.
A. As much solar access as feasible shall be provided each lot or parcel in every new
subdivision or partition, considering topography, development pattern and existing
vegetation. The lot lines of lots or parcels, as far as feasible, shall be oriented to
provide solar access at ground level at the southern building line two hours before
and after the solar zenith from September 22nd to March 21st. If it is not feasible
to provide solar access to the southern building line, then solar access, if feasible,
shall be provided at 10 feet above ground level at the southern building line two
hours before and after the solar zenith from September 22nd to March 21st, and
three hours before and after the solar zenith from March 22nd to September 21st.
B. This solar access shall be protected by solar height restrictions on burdened
properties for the benefit of lots or parcels receiving the solar access.
C. If the solar access for any lot or parcel, either at the southern building line or at 10
feet above the southern building line, required by this performance standard is not
feasible, supporting information must be filed with the application.
FINDING: Pursuant to the FMP approval, the annexation property is not subject to solar setback
standards. These criteria do not apply.
Section 17.36.220. Underground Facilities.
Within an urban growth boundary, all permanent utility services to lots or parcels in a
subdivision or partition shall be provided from underground facilities, provided, however,
the Hearings Body may allow overhead utilities if the surrounding area is already served
by overhead utilities and the proposed subdivision or partition would create less than 10
lots. The subdivision or partition shall be responsible for complying with requirements of
DCC 17.36.220, and shall.
A. Obtain a permit from the Road Department for placement of all underground
utilities.
B. Make all necessary arrangements with the utility companies and other persons or
corporations affected by the installation of such underground utilities in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the State public Utility Commission.

existing portions of the resort via Trailmere Circle.
Staff agrees and finds this criterion will be met.
Section 17.36.270. Street Tree Planting.
Street tree planting plans, if proposed, for a subdivision or partition, shall be submitted to
the Planning Director and receive his approval before the planting is begun.
FINDING: The TP does not include any street trees. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.36.280. Water and Sewer Lines.
Where required by the applicable zoning ordinance, water and sewer lines shall be
constructed to County and city standards and specifications. Required water mains and
service lines shall be installed prior to the curbing and paving of new streets in all new
subdivisions or partitions.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
The subdivision will be served by sewer and water lines. All mains will be constructed to
applicable standards, including those of Sunriver Environmental and Sunriver Water. Lines
will be constructed at the time of street construction and prior to paving and any curbing.
Staff finds this criterion will be met.
section 1 7.36.290. individual Wells.
In any subdivision or partition where individual wells are proposed, the applicant shall
provide documentation of the depth and quantity of potable water available from a
minimum of two wells within one mile of the proposed land division. Notwithstanding DCC
17.36.300, individual wells for subdivisions are allowed when parcels are larger than 10
acres.
FINDING: The TP does not include any individual wells. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.36.300. Public Water System.
In any subdivision or partition where a public water system is required or proposed, plans
for the water system shall be submitted and approved by the appropriate state or federal
agency. A community water system shall be required where lot or parcel sizes are less then
one acre or where potable water sources are at depths greater than 500 feet, excepting
land partitions. Except as provided for in DCC 17.24.120 and 17.24.130, a required water
system shall be constructed and operational, with lines extended to the lot line of each and
every lot depicted in the proposed subdivision or partition plat, prior to final approval.

Section 17.48.160. Road Development Requirements Standards.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings for all of the criteria under DCC 17.48.160.
As approved in the CMP and FMP, all roads within the resort are private and will be dedicated
as common area under the applicable CC&Rs for the resort. As part of the CMP and FMP
approvals, no improvements to Vandevert Road were identified and are therefore not
required as a part of this application. Also as part of the CMP and FMP, the county approved
the road widths for the access road connecting to Vandevert Road. The subdivision will have
two access points: one extending from Trailmere Circle in the existing resort, and a new
access point connecting to Vandevert Road. These roads will be constructed at the time of
infrastructure development for the subdivision. No cul-de-sacs are proposed nor are any
frontage roads.
Staff addresses each subsection separately, below.
A. Subdivision Standards. All roads in new subdivisions shall either be constructed to
a standard acceptable for inclusion in the County maintained system or the
subdivision shall be part of a special road district or a homeowners association in a
planned unit development.
FINDING: All proposed private roads will be subject to maintenance pursuant to the homeowners
association and CC&Rs. This criterion will be met.
B. Improvements of Public Rights of Way.
1. The developer of a subdivision or partition will be required to improve all
public ways that are adjacent or within the land development.
2. All improvements within public rights of way shall conform to the
improvement standards designated in DCC Title 17 for the applicable road
classification, except where a zoning ordinance sets forth different
standards for a particular zone
FINDING: No public rights -of -way are proposed or required. As noted in this decision, all proposed
roads will be private. These criteria do not apply.
C. Primary Access Roads.
1. The primary access road for any new subdivision shall be improved to the
applicable standard set forth in Table A.
2. The applicable standard shall be determined with reference to the road's
classification under the relevant transportation plan.
3. For the purposes of DCC 17.48.160 a primary access road is a road leading to
the subdivision from an existing paved county, city or state maintained road
that provides the primary access to the subdivision from such a road.
FINDING: Per the TP, Elk Run Drive, Lava Springs Loop, and Trailwood Loop will be constructed
within a 60-foot right-of-way, complying with Table A. Proposed streets will be constructed with a
20-foot paved width. For these reasons, staff finds Elk Run Drive, Lava Springs Loop, and Trailwood
Loop will comply with the requirements of Title 17 and Table A.
D. Secondary Access Roads. When deemed necessary by the County Road Department
or Community Development Department, a secondary access road shall be
constructed to the subdivision. Construction shall be to the same standard used for
roads within the subdivision.
FINDING: The TP includes two points of access; one extending from Trailmere Circle in the existing
resort, and the extension of Elk Run Drive which connects to Vandevert Road. For these reasons,
staff finds a secondary access road in not required. Further, the Road Department did not request
a secondary access road. This criterion does not apply.
E. Stubbed Roads. Any proposed road that terminates at a development boundary
shall be constructed with a paved cul-de-sac bulb.
FINDING: The TP does not include roadways which terminate at a development boundary. As
proposed, the northern end of Elk Run Drive will terminate in a hammerhead turnaround. Lava
Springs Loop and Trailwood Loop will also terminate in a dead-end, but the applicant proposes a
temporary looped gravel turnaround until such time the streets are extended. Staff finds the
proposed turnarounds are adequate if the applicant secures approval from the La Pine Fire
Department of the turnaround design. As noted above, staff includes a condition of approval
requiring the applicant to secure approval of the turnaround designs from La Pine Fire.
F. Cul-de-sacs.
1. Cul-de-sacs shall have a length of less than 600 feet, unless a longer length is
approved by the applicable fire protection district, and more than 100 feet
from the center of the bulb to the intersection with the main road.
2. The maximum grade on the bulb shall be four percent.
FINDING: No cul-de-sacs are proposed.
G. Frontage Roads. Right of way widths shall be 40 feet when immediately adjacent to
a main highway/arterial; 60 feet when the frontage road is separated from the
highway or arterial by private land or as set forth for a particular zone in the zoning
ordinance.
FINDING: No frontage road is proposed or required. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.48.170. Road Development Requirements Partitions.
Roadway improvements within a partition and to a road maintained by a public agency
shall be constructed prior to final approval of the partition, depending on the maximum
parcel size as follows:
A. For a parcel size of 10 acres or larger, the minimum road improvement standard

Section 17.48.190. Drainage.
A. Minimum Requirements.
1. Drainage facilities shall be designed and constructed to receive and/or
transport at least a design storm as defined in the current Central Oregon
Stormwater Manual created by Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council
and all surface drainage water coming to and/or passing through the
development or roadway.
2. The system shall be designed for maximum allowable development.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
The drainage for the subdivision and the larger expansion area follows the same parameters
for handling stormwater flows as the existing Caldera Springs Phase 1. The objective of the
surface drainage system is to carry surface flows across the property in the pattern that they
have historically followed, keeping these flows attenuated such that the concentration of
flows from newly created impervious areas such that runoff not concentrated or increased.
The main focus of this plan is a requirement in the Caldera Springs regulations that require
each property owner to provide on their individual sites surface depressions of sufficient
quantity and configuration to retain a volume of runoff equal to or exceeding the volume of
runoff from the newly created impervious areas resulting from a sudden stormwater event.
In addition, each property is required to accept and conduct existing overland flow through
their property without diverting that flow onto adjacent properties. °s this overland flo..,
continues it eventually reaches one of the Caldera Springs lakes or golf course swales, where
further attenuation occurs. The accumulated flow is then discharged from the Caldera
Springs property though a flow control structure that discharge flow rates to historical levels,
discharging to the S. Century Drive drainage ditch, which then connects by culvert to golf
course lake 12 in Crosswater, with any overflow discharging into wetlands.
Staff notes the application materials include Caldera Springs Annexation Phase ll Stormwater Report
("Stormwater Report"; dated July 2021) which explains and illustrates how drainage facilities for the
annexation property will be designed and constructed to receive and/or transport at least a design
storm as defined in the current Central Oregon Stormwater Manual. These criteria will be met.
R. Curbed Sections.
1. Storm drains within curbed streets shall be designed per the requirements of
the current Central Oregon Stormwater Manual created by the Central
Oregon Intergovernmental Council.
2. Catchbasins shall be constructed in accordance with standard as determined
by the Road Department Director.
FINDING: No curbed streets are proposed. These criteria do not apply.
C. Noncurbed Sections.

G. Injection wells (drywells) are prohibited in the public right-of-way.
FINDING: No public rights -of -way are proposed. This criterion does not apply.
Section 17.48.210. Access.
A. Permit Required. Access onto public right of way or change in type of access shall
require a permit. Permits are applied for at offices of the Community Development
Department.
FINDING: The TP does not include or require access onto a public right-of-way. This criterion does
not apply.
B. Access Restrictions and Limitations. The creation of access onto arterials and
collectors is prohibited unless there is no other possible means of accessing the
parcel. In any event, residential access onto arterials and collectors shall not be
permitted within 100 feet of an intersection or the maximum distance obtainable

OREGON REVISED STATUTES
Chapter 92, Subdivisions and Partitions
Section 92.090. Approval of subdivision plat names; requisites for approval of a tentative
subdivision or partition plan or plat.
(1) Subdivision plat names shall be subject to the approval of the county surveyor or, in
the case where there is no county surveyor, the county assessor. No tentative
subdivision plan or subdivision plat of a subdivision shall be approved which bears
a name similar to or pronounced the same as the name of any other subdivision in
the same county, unless the land platted is contiguous to and platted by the same
party that platted the subdivision bearing that name or unless the party files and
records the consent of the party that platted the contiguous subdivision bearing
that name. All subdivision plats must continue the lot numbers and, if used, the
block numbers of the subdivision plat of the same name last filed. On or after
January 1, 1992, any subdivision submitted for final approval shall not use block
numbers or letters unless such subdivision is a continued phase of a previously
Pate 46 of 55
recorded subdivision, bearing the same name, that has previously used block
numbers or letters.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings
The use of the name "Caldera Springs" is appropriate in this instance given that the
subdivision will be a part of the Caldera Springs Destination Resort, which is platted land
contiguous to and platted by the same developer/owner. Numbering has been approved by
the county and is consistent with the requirements above.
Staff finds the use of "Caldera Springs" is appropriate. As noted previously in this decision, staff
includes a condition of approval to ensure the County Surveyor approves the subdivision name.
(2) No tentative plan for a proposed subdivision and no tentative plan for a proposed
partition shall be approved unless:
(a) The streets and roads are laid out so as to conform to the plats of
subdivisions and partitions already approved for adjoining property as to
width, general direction and in all other aspects unless the city or county
determines it is in the public interest to modify the street or road pattern.
FINDING: As shown on the TP, Elk Run Drive will be extended north from its intersection with Lava
Springs Loop. This connection will comply with right-of-way and paving standards for private roads.
No changes to the approved street pattern are proposed. This criterion will be met.
(b) Streets and roads held for private use are clearly indicated on the tentative
plan and all reservations or restrictions relating to such private roads and
streets are set forth thereon.
FINDING: The TP indicates all streets will be private. All reservations or restrictions associated with
these private roads are detailed in the associated CC&Rs.
(c) The tentative plan complies with the applicable zoning ordinances and
regulations and the ordinances and regulations adopted under ORS 92.044
that are then in effect for the city or county within which the land described
in the plan is situated.
FINDING: This decision identifies applicable zoning ordinances and evaluates compliance with
those ordinances. Staff finds the tentative plan, as conditioned, complies with the applicable DCC
zoning ordinances and regulations, as well as and the ordinances and regulations adopted under
ORS 92.044.
(3) No plat of a proposed subdivision or partition shall be approved unless:
(a) Streets and roads for public use are dedicated without any reservation or
restriction other than reversionary rights upon vacation of any such street
or road and easements for public or private utilities.
(b) Streets and roads held for private use and indicated on the tentative plan of
such subdivision or partition have been approved by the city or county.
(c) The subdivision or partition plat complies with any applicable zoning
ordinances and regulations and any ordinance or regulation adopted under
ORS 92.044 that are then in effect for the city or county within which the land
described in the subdivision or partition plat is situated.
(d) The subdivision or partition plat is in substantial conformity with the
provisions of the tentative plan for the subdivision or partition, as approved.
(e) The subdivision or partition plat contains a donation to the public of all
sewage disposal and water supply systems, the donation of which was made
a condition of the approval of the tentative plan for the subdivision or
partition plat.
(f) Explanations for all common improvements required as conditions of
approval of the tentative plan of the subdivision or partition have been
recorded and referenced on the subdivision or partition plat.
FINDING: The subdivision includes Elk Run Drive, Lava Springs Loop, and Trailwood Loop, new or
extended private streets. Therefore, staff finds subsection (a) does not apply. Proposed streets are
approved by the subject land use approval, complying with subsection (b). Compliance with
subsection (c), which requires compliance with the zoning ordinance and regulations, is addressed
in this decision and will be reviewed when the final plat is submitted. Subsection (d) establishes a
requirement for final plat review which staff includes as a condition of approval to comply with this
statutory section.
Final Plat Conformity. The subdivision plat shall substantially conform to the provisions of the
tentative plan for the subdivision, as approved.
No public sewage or water systems are proposed, therefore subsections (e) and (f) do not apply.
(4) Subject to any standards and procedures adopted pursuant to ORS 92.044, no plat
of a subdivision shall be approved by a city or county unless the city or county has
received and accepted.
(a) A certification by city -owned domestic water supplysystem or by the owner
of a privately owned domestic water supply system, subject to regulation by
the Public Utility Commission of Oregon, that water will be available to the
lot line of each and every lot depicted in the proposed subdivision plat,
(b) A bond, irrevocable letter of credit, contract or other assurance by the
subdivider to the city or county that a domestic water supply system will be
installed by or on behalf of the subdivider to the lot line of each and every
lot depicted in the proposed subdivision plat, and the amount of any such
bond, irrevocable letter of credit, contract or other assurance by the
subdivider shall be determined bya registered professional engineer, subject
to any change in such amount as determined necessary by the city or county,
or
_ _. _ -247 z2-_00182 _ _ ___ Page t _
(c) In lieu of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection, a statement that no
domestic water supply facility will be provided to the purchaser of any lot
depicted in the proposed subdivision plat, even though a domestic water
supply source may exist. A copy of any such statement, signed by the
subdivider and indorsed by the city or county, shall be filed by the subdivider
with the Real Estate Commissioner and shall be included by the
commissioner in any public report made for the subdivision under ORS
92.385. If the making of a public report has been waived or the subdivision is
otherwise exempt under the Oregon Subdivision Control Law, the subdivider
shall deliver a copy of the statement to each prospective purchaser of a lot
in the subdivision at or prior to the signing by the purchaser of the first
written agreement for the sale of the lot. The subdivider shall take a signed
receipt from the purchaser upon delivery of such a statement, shall
immediately send a copy of the receipt to the commissioner and shall keep
any such receipt on file in this state, subject to inspection by the
commissioner, for a period of three years after the date the receipt is taken.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
By its terms, this subsection applies to the approval of the final plat, not the preliminary plat.
The applicant will address this subsection at the time of final platting.
Staff agrees and includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance. Because the FMP was
approved with dog i estic water provided by Sunriver VV'ater, staff finds option (C) is not available to
the developer.
Domestic Water Supply. Prior to final plat approval, the owner shall submit:
A. A certification by a city -owned domestic water supply system or by the owner of a privately
owned domestic water supply system, subject to regulation by the Public Utility Commission

subdivision plat,
(b) A bond, irrevocable letter of credit, contract or other assurance by the
subdivider to the city or county that a sewage disposal system will be
installed by or on behalf of the subdivider to the lot line of each and every
lot depicted on the proposed subdivision plat, and the amount of such bond,
irrevocable letter of credit, contract or other assurance shall be determined
by a registered professional engineer, subject to any change in such amount
as the city or county considers necessary, or
(c) In lieu of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection, a statement that no
sewage disposal facility will be provided to the purchaser of any lot depicted
in the proposed subdivision plat, where the Department of Environmental
Quality has approved the proposed method or an alternative method of
sewage disposal for the subdivision in its evaluation report described in ORS
454.755 (1)(b). A copy of any such statement, signed by the subdivider and
indorsed by the city or county shall be filed by the subdivider with the Real
Estate Commissioner and shall be included by the commissioner in the public
report made for the subdivision under ORS 92.385. If the making of a public
report has been waived or the subdivision is otherwise exempt under the
Oregon Subdivision Control Law, the subdivider shall deliver a copy of the
statement to each prospective purchaser of a lot in the subdivision at or prior
to the signing by the purchaser of the first written agreement for the sale of
the lot. The subdivider shall take a signed receipt from the purchaser upon
delivery of such a statement, shall immediately send a copy of the receipt to
the commissioner and shall keep anysuch receipt on file in this state, subject
to inspection by the commissioner, for a period of three years after the date
the receipt is taken.
FINDING: The applicant provides the following findings.
By its terms, this subsection applies to the approval of the final plat, not the preliminary plat.
The applicant will address this subsection at the time of final platting.
Staff agrees and includes a condition of approval to ensure compliance. Because the FMP was
approved with sewer service provided by Sunriver Environmental, staff finds option (c) is not
available to the developer.
Sewer Service. Prior to final plat approval, the owner shall submit:
A. A certification by a city -owned sewage disposal system or by the owner of a privately owned
sewage disposal system that is subject to regulation by the Public Utility Commission of
Oregon that a sewage disposal system will be available to the lot line of each and every lot

of such bond, irrevocable letter of credit, contract or other assurance shall be determined by
a registered professional engineer, subject to any change in such amount as the city or
county considers necessary.
(6) Subject to any standards and procedures adopted pursuant to ORS 92.044, no plat
of subdivision or partition located within the boundaries of an irrigation district,
drainage district, water control district, water improvement district or district
improvement company shall be approved by a city or county unless the city or
county has received and accepted a certification from the district or company that
the subdivision or partition is either entirely excluded from the district or company
or is included within the district or company for purposes of receiving services and
subjecting the subdivision or partition to the fees and other charges of the district
or company.
FINDING: The subject property is not located within the boundaries of an irrigation district. This
criterion does not apply.
IV. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE
Board Resolution 2013-020 sets a transportation system development charge (SDC) rate of $4,757
per p.m. peak hour trip. Recreational homes generate 0.28 p.m. peak hour trips; the applicable SDC
would be $1,332 ($4,757 X 0.28) per OLU. If the rooms can be independently rented, then for SDC
purposes the $1,257 is per room i � as each room would function an OLV. if the r vom$ cannot be
independently rented, then the SDC is per structure. The SDCs are not due until development
occurs. Once development occurs, the SDC is due prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy; if a
certificate of occupancy is not applicable, then the SDC is due within 60 days of the land use decision
becoming final.
THE PROVIDED SDC AMOUNT IS ONLY VALID UNTIL JUNE 30, 2022. DESCHUTES COUNTY'S SDC
RATE IS INDEXED AND RESETS EVERY JULY 1. WHEN PAYING AN SDC, THE ACTUAL AMOUNT
DUE IS DETERMINED BY USING THE CURRENT SDC RATE AT THE DATE THE BUILDING PERMIT IS
PULLED.

FROM: Peter Gutowsky, AICP, Director
DATE: March 27, 2024
SUBJECT: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency / Community Change Grant Application / Permission to
Proceed
I. REQUEST
The Community Development Department (CDD) respectfully requests permission from the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) to apply for a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Community Change Grant
for a sub -area of Southern Deschutes County (Attachment 1). Deschutes County, in coordination with
Neighborlmpact, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), and Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) would request approximately $19,718,000 to perform the various project
elements as provided in Table 1 on the following page. -
II. BACKGROUND
The Inflation Reduction Act created the Environmental and Climate Justice Program - the largest investment
in environmental and climate justice in U.S. history - when it was signed into law by President Biden on
August 16, 2022. Under this program, EPA received $2.8 billion to award grants to help disadvantaged
communities address a wide range of environmental and climate justice issues, and $200 million dollars for
technical assistance related to these grants. Awards are expected to be $10-20 million. No cost -sharing or
match is required as a condition of eligibility. Projects must be designed to be successfully and effectively
completed within a three-year period. EPA is accepting rolling applications for Community Change Grants
until November 21, 2024.
1 These are approximations and subject to further refinement. If awarded, the deliverables pertaining to fuel reduction, well
repairs, and septic upgrades could fluctuate over the course of the three-year grant period. The application requires detailed
budget line items that address personnel (including annual independent audits and grant administration), materials and services,
and capital outlays. For Deschutes County, the grant will place demands on the County Forester, Property Manager, Legal Counsel,
Finance Department, Solid Waste Department, and CDD's Administration, Building Safety Division, Onsite Wastewater Division,
and Long Range Planning Section.

purpose of the air curtain is to reduce air particulate matter, or smoke, which results from burning wood waste. It does this by
creating a "secondary burn chamber." The air curtain is like a lid covering the opening in a FireBox. The particles of smoke rising
on the hot gasses of the fire are trapped under the air curtain. These smoke particles are then reburned and their size is
significantly reduced. With this reduced size, they can now escape through the air curtain and appear more like waves of heat
than smoke. The result is a very clean burn, with opacities well under 10% per EPA Method 9 Testing (as compared to open
burning, which typically can run at 80% to 100% opacity).
3 CDD proposes to utilize grant funds to hire a limited duration onsite wastewater specialist to assist with reviewing and permitting
septic system upgrades.

III. SUB -AREA OF SOUTHERN DESCHUTES COUNTY
Applicants for a Community Change Grant must demonstrate that their proposed projects benefit a
geographically -defined disadvantaged community. EPA recognizes a portion of Southern Deschutes County
as meeting this criterion. It consists of two Census Tracts, 41017000201 and 202, and includes a significant
portion of La Pine (Attachment 1). Environmental and socioeconomic indexes produced by the EPA indicate
that residents in this sub -area have lower incomes, life expectancies, and education levels, among other
challenges (Attachment 2). In the rural areas, thousands of lots were platted prior to Senate Bill 100 (1973)
and the establishment of Oregon's Statewide Land Use System. Extensive research by the U.S. Geological
Survey shows that groundwater underlying the Upper Deschutes sub -basin is highly vulnerable and is being
polluted by nitrates from onsite septic systems. Nitrates pose a threat to rural residents because they rely on
a sole source aquifer and domestic wells.
This entire area around La Pine is identified by the Oregon Department of Forestry in a draft Statewide
Wildfire Hazard Map as a high wildfire hazard area in a Wildland Urban Interface. It is also challenged to
meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5. The community experiences
smoke impacts from numerous sources throughout much of the year, including wildfire smoke in summer,
prescribed burning smoke in spring and fall, and woodstove smoke during winter inversions. Current
monitoring indicates La Pine is below the annual PM2.5 standard of 9 micrograms. If those trends remain, La
Pine could be classified as a non -attainment area by EPA. All forms of smoke bring health problems,
particularly for sensitive populations, children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions.
IV. GRANT OVERVIEW & ELIGIBILITY
Community Change Grants are required to empower communities and their partners to collaborate, design,
develop, and implement multi -faceted projects that:
• Increase community climate resistance;
• Reduce local pollution and improve public health;
• Center meaningful community engagement;
• Build community strength;
• Reach priority populations; and
• Maximize integration across projects.
Applicants eligible to apply for and receive a Community Change Grant must either be a partnership of two
community -based nonprofit organizations (CBOs) or a partnership between a CBO and a federally recognized
Tribe, local government, or institution of higher education. Other organizations and entities may participate
in the Community Change Grants as Collaborative Entities through subawards, or as contractors.
A. Lead Applicant
Deschutes County, given its previous experience administering an EPA grant, and most recently with
American Recovery Act funds, is well situated to be the Lead Applicant for a Community Change Grant. If
awarded, Deschutes County will become the grantee, responsible for effectively carrying out the full scope
of work and the proper management of the grant. Deschutes County can rely upon its existing expertise and
internal controls, including fiscal management, independent auditors, and legal counsel, to ensure that
-3-
contracts and pass -through funds to a CBO and Collaborative Entities (as defined below) are accountable to
EPA.
B. Community Based Organization
Neighborlmpact qualifies as a CBO. It is one of the largest nonprofit organizations east of the Cascades, with
an annual operations budget of $50 million dollars and over 260 employees.' Section D. below describes
their current working relationships with the county.
C. Collaborative Entities
COIC and DEQ are Collaborative Entities under terms of the Community Change Grant Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO).6 If the grant is selected, Deschutes County will enter into subaward contracts with each
of them.6 They will be accountable to Deschutes County for proper use of any EPA funding.
D. Maximizing Existing Relationships
Deschutes County has extensive relationships with Neighborlmpact, COIC, and DEQ. Figure 2 illustrates
projects each entity is currently undertaking in South County that relate to climate action, pollution
reduction, and community engagement. A Community Change Grant would leverage those relationships to
invest additional resources for those that are the most disadvantaged.
Figure 2 — Noteworthy Projects in Southern Deschutes County
4 A Statutory Partnership will be required for the Lead Applicant, Deschutes County, and a CBO, Neighborlmpact. Both will need to
enter into a Partnership Agreement as part of a grant application to carry out the grant activities if the application is selected for
funding. If selected for an award, Deschutes County will enter into a subaward contract with Neighborlmpact.
s https•//www epa gov/inflation-reduction-act/inflation-reduction-act-community-change-grants-program#NOFO
6 Other Collaborative Entities may include the Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Department of Forestry, and Heart of Oregon
Corps.

V. GRANT REQUIREMENTS
Applicants for a Community Change Grant must address the following six requirements:
1. Climate Action Strategy.
2. Pollution Reduction Strategy.
3. Community Engagement and Collaborative Governance Plan.
4. Community Strength Plan.
5. Readiness Approach.
6. Compliance Plan.
Based on a review of the NOFO, Deschutes County, a CBO, and its Collaborative Entities can leverage specific
strategies to address climate action, pollution reduction, and community engagement. Each can also
demonstrate a commitment to bolstering economic prosperity in this region to execute a grant within a
three-year period. The following sections summarize climate action and pollution reduction strategies that
most readily apply to this sub -area of South County based on Community Change Grant requirements.
A. Climate Action Strategies
Green Infrastructure and Nature -Based Solutions
This strategy supports using nature -based solutions (NBS), also referred to as green infrastructure, to
address climate risks. NBS are generally actions to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural systems
to address the impacts of climate change, while simultaneously providing benefits for people and the
environment. The NOFO cites the White House's Nature -Based Solutions Research Guide as a resource for
integrating nature -based solutions.' Federal agencies have supported communities in their use of nature -
based solutions to adapt to climate impacts, reduce wildfire risk, and support practices by private
landowners.
Energy -Efficient, Health, and Resilient Housing and Buildings
Many disadvantaged communities face a disproportionately high energy burden, defined as the percentage
of gross household income spent on energy costs. Many factors can influence high energy burden, including
higher -cost fuels, such as propane or other bottled fuels, and energy -inefficient homes due to a lack of
insulation in older homes or older appliances. This strategy supports investments in low- and zero -emission
technologies and energy efficiency upgrades that can help decarbonize residential and commercial buildings,
decrease energy burdens, and increase resilience for communities.
' https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Nature-Based-Solutions-Resource-Guide-2022.pdf. The guide cites
the Central Sierra Recovery and Restoration Project and its investment in several nature -based solutions including prescribed fire
treatments and removing hazard trees in the wildland urban interface, a practice that is critical to reducing the threat of
catastrophic wildfire to local communities and sensitive habitats.
-5-
B. Pollution Reduction Strategies
Indoor Air Quality and Community Health Improvements
Disadvantaged communities often face high levels of indoor air pollution from several sources, including
mold, lead paint, radon, asbestos, fossil fuel combustion, and pollution from outdoors that seeps inside.
These pollutants can have a detrimental impact to human health, particularly for vulnerable populations
including children, the elderly, and people with health conditions like asthma and heart disease. Activities
under this strategy can include direct assessment and remediation to reduce harmful air pollution (e.g.,
installation of filtration systems, building retrofits that address multiple sources of pollution, and
replacement of wood heaters that do not meet EPA standards).
Outdoor Air Quality and Community Health Improvements
Outdoor air pollution from mobile and stationary sources can compromise human health and the
environment in many ways, including by triggering asthma attacks and heart attacks, exacerbating
respiratory disease, and causing children and adults to miss school and work on bad air days. Activities
funded under this strategy could include purchasing equipment that limits community exposure to outdoor
air pollutants.
Clean Water Infrastructure to Reduce Pollution Exposure and Increase Overall System Resilience
Disadvantaged communities often lack access to clean water and clean drinking water. Functional water
infrastructure is essential for protecting the quality of drinking water resources as well as the safety of
recreational waters. This strategy addresses challenges communities face in accessing clean, reliable drinking
water and wastewater treatment. Projects funded under this strategy may include targeted efficiency
(domestic well and septic system) upgrades.
VI. NEXT STEPS
If the Board supports CDD applying for a Community Change Grant, staff will collaborate with the County
Forester, Property Management, Solid Waste, Neighborlmpact, COIC, and DEQ to develop a detailed grant
proposal, including a line -item budget. Finalizing an application is expected to take six to eight weeks or
longer with an anticipated submittal date in early June.
