II. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. LOCATION: The subject property is located at 15820 Barclay Drive, Sisters, and is
identified on Deschutes County Assessor's Map 15-1O-4A as tax lots 800 and 1100 and
on Map 14-1O-33D as tax lot 1300. The property is bordered by Barclay Drive on the
south and Camp Polk Road on the west.
B. LOT OF RECORD: The property has been recognized as a legallot-of-record based on
the land use history and the issuance of development permits (See: S 74-1064 and
B 75-217, along with Applicant's Exhibit E).
C. SITE DESCRIPTION: The 34.3-acre property is generally level and contains the Sisters
Eagle Airport runway, house/office, four hangars and several outbuildings. The property
also contains the offices of ENERGY nee ring Solutions Inc. (ESI), a design and build
engineering business. The property is fenced and vegetated with grass and scattered pines
in the northern portion of the property. Access to the property is from Barclay Drive.
D. SURROUNDING USES: To the north ofthe runway are Hawksflight Air Park and
Eagle Air Estates subdivisions, developed for residential use. To the south and east are
scattered rural residences and Barclay Meadows subdivision. Light industrial
development, within the city limits of Sisters, is found to the west, across Camp Polk
Road. Camp Polk Road runs north/south along the western edge of the subject property
and forms the boundary between the City of Sisters and rural Deschutes County.
E. PROCEDURAL AND LAND USE HISTORY: The Sisters Eagle Airport has been
present on the site for at least sixty (60) years (See: Applicant's Exhibit E). The property
has received the following land use permits:
SP-74-33: Site plan approval for a 7,400 square foot hangar/shop.
SP-75-4: Site plan approval for a hangar.
AD-91-2: A determination that a remodel of the building authorized under
SP-74-33 did not constitute an alteration of a nonconforming use.

property for a construction-related business.
LL-92-110: A property line adjustment which reduced tax lot 800 from 14.37
acres to 13.03 acres.
EXHIBIT 0 TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 2
NCU-12-4/SP-12-16: Approval of an alteration and expansion of a nonconforming use
(construction business) for the purpose of placing a modular
office building for employees of ENERGY nee ring Solutions Inc.
Land use actions adjacent to the Sisters Urban Growth Boundary in the Urban Area
Reserve are governed by a joint management agreement adopted by the City of Sisters
and Deschutes County on November 12, 1998 (See: Applicant's Exhibit P). This
document calls for cooperation between the City of Sisters and Deschutes County in
planning for the UARM 10 zone. Deschutes County and the City of Sisters share
responsibility for processing urban growth boundary expansions. Quasi-judicial
applications are reviewed by a hearings officer for the county, and by the planning
commission for the city. Then both the County Commissioners and City Council will
hold public hearings and adopt implementing ordinances to enact the UGB expansion. If
approved and adopted, the amendment must be transmitted to the Oregon Department of
Land Conservation and Development for acknowledgement of compliance with
applicable state land use laws.
The applicant submitted the following applications to the City of Sisters on May 13,
2013: 1) an annexation application, 2) a master plan application, 3) a partition and lot line
adjustment and 4) a text amendment and comprehensive plan amendment. Additionally,
the citizens of Sisters passed a ballot measure in the November 2012 General Election
(See: Measure 9-87) authorizing the annexation of the subject property. The Planning
Division mailed notice of this application and public hearing to all property owners
within 250 feet ofthe subject property. The Planning Division published notice of the
application and public hearing in the Bend Bulletin on July 7, 2013. Additionally, the
applicant posted a Notice of Land Use Action sign on the property on July 11,2013. No
comments were received.
The application was reviewed in a public hearing by the City of Sisters Planning
Commission on July 31, 2013 and approved unanimously. The application was then
reviewed by the City Council on August 8, 2013, and again approved unanimously.
On August 27,2013, a public hearing was held on the application before the Deschutes
County Hearings Officer. There was no opposition testimony. The applicant agreed with
the findings and conclusions of the Staff Report. There was no request to leave the
written record open, and the applicant waived the right to a final comment. The record
closed August 27,2013 at the close of the hearing.
G. PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting a Plan Amendment to amend the Deschutes
County Comprehensive Plan to expand the City of Sisters' Urban Growth Boundary and
to change the plan map designation from Rural Residential Exception Area to Urban
Reserve. The proposal also includes a zone map amendment to change the zoning on the
property from Rural Residential (RR-lO) to Urban Area Reserve (UAR-lO). The 34-3
acre expansion site would bring the Sisters Eagle Airport inside the UGB and allow the
city to zone the property for airport use.
EXHIBIT 0 TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 3
No development is proposed as part ofthese applications. The application materials
and supporting documents are incorporated herein by this reference.
H. AGENCY COMMENTS: The Planning Division mailed notice to several public
agencies and received the following comments.
1. Deschutes County Road Department: No comments.
2. Sisters Fire Department: No comments submitted.
3. City of Sisters Planning Department: No comments submitted.
4. Oregon Department of Aviation: The following comments have been submitted:
This letter is in response to Deschutes County's notice of application for Sisters
Runway, Inc. and Sisters Airport Property LLC, located north of the City of
Sisters, specifically at 15820 Barclay Drive, Sisters on Deschutes County
Assessor's Map 15-10-4A tax lots 800 and 1100 and 14-10-33D tax lot 1300.
After a preliminary review ofthe proposed application the Oregon Department of
Aviation (ODA) has the following comments:
ODA supports the applicant's request for an amendment to the Deschutes County
Comprehensive plan map to include Sisters Eagle Airport with the City ofSisters '
Urban Growth Boundary and change the plan map designation from Rural
Residential Exception Area to Urban Reserve, which will amend the zoning map
for the subject properties from RR-10 to UAR-10.
5. County Transportation Planner: I have reviewed the transmittal materials for PA
J3-3/ZC-J3-3 to bring Sisters Eagle Air Park into the Sisters Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) and change the zoningfrom Rural Residential10-acre minimum
(RR-10) to Urban Area Reserve (UAR-10). The property is at 15820 Barclay
Drive, aka 15-10-04A, TL 800. No transportation system development charges
(SDC) are required.
The Sisters airport is a previously established, non-conforming land use in the
County's RR-10 zone. The applicant has provided traffic analysis that indicates
the plan amendment will not rise to the significance test of the Transportation
Planning Rule (TPR) at Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012-0060.
agree with that conclusion. The similar density requirements set forth in RR-10
and UAR-10 combined with the imaginary surfaces of the Airport Saftty
Combining Zone (AS) means there is no substantive difference between the
potential trip generation rates of RR-10 and UAR-10. I would recommend the
City of Sisters require traffic analysis for consistency with the TPR when the
City's land use process is begun to apply the City's airport zoning to the property.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016

As the proposed land use will not result in more trips being generated from the
site under County zoning, no additional roadway capacity will be consumed, and
thus under BOCC Resolution 2013-020 no transportation SDCs are required.
6. Department of Land Conservation and Development: No comments submitted.
III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
A. Statewide Planning Goals
1. Goal l: Citizen Involvement
Oregon Statewide Planning Goall seeks "To develop a citizen involvement
program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases
of the planning process."
FINDING: During this UGB expansion process, public notice was provided by both the
city and county to affected agencies and property owners in the surrounding area. As
noted above, county staff both mailed and published notice of the proposal and public
hearing. The city and county held separate public hearings before city planning
commission and county hearings officer, respectively, and separate hearings before the
City Council. Goal 1 is met by the process herein described.
2. Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 2 seeks "To establish a land use planning
process and policy framework as a basis for all decision and actions related
to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and
actions."
FINDING: In accordance with Goal 2, the applicant submitted an application to both the
city and county to expand the Sisters' UGB. The applicant provided sufficient
infonnation to assure an adequate factual base to enable both jurisdictions to make an
infonned decision regarding the expansion. Goal 2 is met by the process herein
described.
3. Goal 3: Agricultural Lands; Goal 4: Forest Lands
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 3 seeks "To preserve and maintain
agricultural lands."
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 4 seeks "To conserve forest lands by ..."
FINDING: The property to be included in the UGB expansion is not identified as either
agricultural or forest lands on the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan map. The

subject property is identified as Rural Residential Exception Area under the county
comprehensive plan. Goals 3 and 4 do not apply.
4. GoalS: Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources
Oregon Statewide Planning GoalS seeks "To protect natural resources and
conserve scenic and historic areas and open spaces."
FINDING: Goal 5 resources are listed in the county's acknowledged Comprehensive
Plan. There are no identified Goal 5 resources on the site. Utilizing the site as proposed
will have no significant adverse impact on the amount of open space or scenic views
available. Goal 5 is met.
Impacts on Goal 5 resources:
Mineral and aggregate resources: The expansion site is not zoned for mineral and
aggregate use and does not contain any identified significant mineral or aggregate
resources.
Energy sources: There are no known energy resources on the site such as natural gas, oil,
coal or geothermal heat.
Fish and wildlife habitat: The expansion site has no designated fish or wildlife habitat.
There are no identified threatened or endangered species present at the site.
Ecologically and scientifically significant natural areas, including desert areas: There are
no identified ecologically or scientifically significant areas present on the site.
Outstanding scenic views: Nothing about the site indicates it has a significantly better
view than other sites in the vicinity.
Water areas, wetlands, watersheds, and groundwater resources: There are no wetlands or
watersheds within the subject site. There are no identified groundwater resources present
at the site.
Wilderness areas: The site does not meet the definition of "wilderness areas" as
described within the Oregon State Goals and Guidelines.
Historic areas, sites, structures and objects: The site has no structures listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. No structures or places of historical significance
have been determined to exist on or near the property.
Cultural areas: The site has no known cultural resources.

5. Goal 6: Air, Water and Land Resources Quality
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 6 seeks "To maintain and improve the
quality of the air, water, and land resources of the state."
FINDING: The applicant is not proposing an exception to Goal 6. Maintaining or
improving the quality of the community's air, water and land resources would be assured
through enforcement of state and local regulations. Expansion of the UGB would allow
connection to city sewer service, thereby protecting water resources as development
occurs. No state or federal regulations are threatened to be or will be violated by the
proposaL Goal 6 is met.
I 6. Goal 7: Areas Subiect to Natural Disasters and Hazards
1 Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 7 seeks "To protect people and property
from natural disasters and hazards"
FINDING: There are no areas within the site that are subject to flooding or landslide
activity. The wildfire hazard for the site is the same as other properties in this geographic Ii area. Development of the site might reduce the potential for wildfires by providing
adequate water to meet the fire flow requirements for the Sisters Fire Department.

7. Goal 8: Recreational Needs; Goal 10: Housing f
1 Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 8 seeks "To satisfy the recreational needs of
the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for 1 the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts."
I Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 10 seeks "To provide for the housing needs
of citizens of the state."
I FINDING: The size, existing development and specific need addressed by the proposed
UGB expansion, do not implicate Goals 8 and 10. 1
I 8. Goal 9: Economic Development
I Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 9 seeks "To provide adequate opportunities
throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,
welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens."i
I FINDING: Staff found, and the Hearings Officer agrees, that expanding the UGB will
allow the city to annex the airport and apply an appropriate airport zone to the property.
By doing so, the airport will no longer be a nonconforming use and will be able to I
develop with airport-related and airport-dependent businesses, increasing the vitality of
the airport and providing economic opportunities to local residents. The proposed
amendment is consistent with Goal 9.

9. Goal 11 : Public Facilities and Services
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 11 seeks "To plan and develop a timely,
orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as
a framework for urban and rural development."
FINDING: There is an existing 12 inch water main within Sun Ranch Subdivision,
adjacent to the west, across Camp Polk Road. There is a 10-inch sewer main located in
Camp Polk Road, approximately 850 feet south of the property. The applicant includes
in its burden of proof a sewer and water analysis perfonned by Sun Country Engineering
& Surveying, Inc. which concludes that water and sewer services are available and
adequate for the use (See: Applicant's Exhibit K). The property is bounded on the west
by Camp Polk Road, a designated collector, and on the south by Barclay Drive, a
designated local road. All necessary public facilities to serve the property are located at
or near the property boundaries. Goal II is met.
10. Goal 12: Transportation
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 12 seeks "To provide and encourage a safe,
convenient and economic transportation system."
FINDING: OAR 660-012 implements Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 12. This
administrative rule requires the city to prepare and adopt a Transportation System Plan
(TSP) as part of its comprehensive plan. The City of Sisters 2010 Transportation System
Plan was adopted January 2010. The applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Study (See:
Applicant's Exhibit G), which compared existing uses to uses proposed under the
ultimate airport zoning district that would be applied by the city. It did not take into
account the change to the UAR-I 0 zone because that zone would only apply for a very
short period of time. The study found up to 38 additional weekday p.m. peak hour trips
would be generated from the site. Perfonnance at the Locust/Barclay intersection
currently remains at approximately level of service "B". Long-tenn level of service at
this intersection is forecast to remain adequate through the 2030 planning period, and the
single-lane roundabout shown in the City's TSP would provide significant reserve
capacity.
Staff found, and the Hearings Officer agrees, that no additional infrastructure or change
to the City's adopted TSP will be required by these amendments, and that all
transportation facilities will continue to operate in accordance with their intended
classifications and functions.
Furthennore, OAR 660-024-0020(d) exempts properties such as this site from the
Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) of OAR 660-012-0060. Exempt properties include
those that are zoned as urbanizable land and that do not allow more trips than
development allowed under prior zoning. The site is zoned RR-IO and will be re-zoned
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 8
UAR-IO. Since the existing and future zoning will maintain the same density, and new
development is limited by the existing use of, and development on, the property, as well
as by the imaginary surfaces associated with the airport, no additional trips will be
created by the amendment. Goal 12 and the Transportation Planning Rule are met.
11. Goal 13: Energy Conservation
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 13 seeks "To conserve energy."
FINDING: To the extent that this goal is applicable, the amendment is energy-neutral
because the airport already exists and the amendment would not result in any new uses
other than those that are airport-related or airport-dependent.
12. Goal 14: Urbanization (amended effective April 28, 2005)
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 14 seeks "To provide for orderly and
efficient transition from rural to urban use, to accommodate urban
population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to
ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities."
Land Need
Establishment and change of urban growth boundaries shall be based on the
following:
1. Demonstrated need to accommodate long-range urban population,
consistent with a 20-year population forecast coordinated with
affected local governments; and
2. Demonstrated need for housing, employment opportunities, livability
or uses such as public facilities, streets and roads, schools, parks or
open space, or any combination of the need categories in this
subsection (2).
In determining need, local government may specify characteristics, such as
parcel size, topography or proximity, necessary for land to be suitable for an
identified need. Prior to expanding an urban growth boundary, local
governments shall demonstrate that needs cannot reasonably be
accommodated on land already inside the urban growth boundary.
FINDING: The city adopted coordinated population projections via County Ordinance
2004-012 (See: Applicant's Exhibit Q). Based on these projections, the city identified
the need to accommodate an urban population and provide opportunities for employment
for 3,747 residents by 2025. The applicant suggested that expanding the UGB to include
the airport is consistent with Goal 9, Economic Development, because, once annexed, the
city will able to apply appropriate airport zoning which will allow and encourage
development at the airport that will generate employment by creating space for certain
l
t EXHIBIT 0 TO ORDINANCE 20l3-016 9
kinds of new businesses and by creating better transportation facilities to serve existing
businesses.
Staff found that this amendment addresses a property that is already developed.
According to the applicant's burden of proof, the subject property has been primarily
used as an airport for at least the past sixty (60) years. The property is zoned RR-I0,
which makes Sisters Eagle Airport a non-conforming use of the property. A non
conforming use can be continued or maintained, but cannot be altered or expanded
without a determination that the alteration or expansion will have no greater adverse
impact on the neighborhood (See: DCC 18.120.01O(E)). This means that a non
conforming use is strictly controlled and limited in its development. Approving the VOB
amendment allows the city and county to accurately reflect the actual use of the property,
and to allow the airport to reach its full potential as a transportation facility and economic
asset. The City supports this objective, as demonstrated by its willingness to annex the
property and to rezone it to an airport zone.
Staff agreed with the applicant that, with appropriate zoning, the airport can be improved
to provide expanded opportunities for emergency operations, including firefighting, and
Life Flights. Basic amenities for pilots, citizens and emergency personnel could be
provided, such as restrooms and pilot's lounge. Once annexed, airport-dependent and
airport-related businesses could be located at the airport, providing more living wage jobs
to members of the community.
The Hearings Officer finds that the applicant has shown a demonstrated need for
employment opportunities and public facilities on the subject property which warrants a
change in the VOB.
These criteria also require demonstration that the need for the airport cannot reasonably
be accommodated on land already within the VOB. The applicant states that the
application meets this requirement because an airport requires a large land area for the
actual ground development, as well as the protected space in the imaginary surfaces
associated with the airport (See: Applicant's Exhibit D). The airport requires
approximately three-quarters of a mile of flat, open space with restricted development
due to the protected imaginary surfaces. The airport runway is 3,500 feet long and the
Runway Protection Zone (an imaginary surface) extends out 200 feet from the ends of the
runway, for a total of 3,900 feet. The applicant identified potential sites within the DOB,
zoned DAR or DAR-lO, that were eliminated for consideration because:
• The DAR Zone does not permit airports (See: SDC Chapter 2.9)
• The DAR-zoned land along McKinney Butte Road is the location of several churches
which are incompatible with airport use because they are places of public assembly (See
OAR 660-013-0080).
• The VAR-lO zoned land located north of the City's wastewater treatment plant is
incompatible with airport use (See: OAR 660-013-0080).
• The DAR-IO zoned land located along McKinney Ranch Road has recently been re
zoned to Multi-Family Residential (MFR).
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 10
Based on the substantial evidence in the record, the Hearings Officer concludes there is
no adequate or suitable land within the UGB which can meet the locational and
development criteria for an airport
Boundary Location
The location of the urban growth boundary and changes to the boundary shall be
determined by evaluating alternative boundary locations consistent with ORS
197.298 and with consideration of the following factors:
FINDING: This criterion requires an evaluation of alternative boundary locations
consistent with ORS 197.298. This discussion is detailed below.
1. Efficient accommodation of identified land needs;
FINDING: The purpose of the proposed UGB expansion is to provide suitable zoning
and services for an existing airport. The subject property, because of its size, on-site
development and location adjacent to the UGB, would have access to required urban
infrastructure including roads, water and sewer service. Additionally, it is located
adjacent to light industrial and business park development, uses compatible with, and,
perhaps, benefitting from, upgraded airport facilities. For these reasons the amendment is
an efficient accommodation of identified land needs.
2. Orderly and economic provision of public facilities and services;
FINDING: As discussed above, urban infrastructure and public facilities and services
are available to the subject property, including city water and sewer service. The subject
property has frontage on Camp Polk Road, a designated collector, and access onto
Barclay Drive, a designated local road. The property is currently within the boundaries
of the Sisters/Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District. Upon annexation it will be
served by the Sisters Fire Department.
With respect to traffic impacts, the density will not change with the amendment and trip
generation will not increase so the TPR is not triggered. Traffic impacts associated with
the airport would be evaluated by the city in its zone change process following
annexation.
3. Comparative environmental, energy, economic and social
consequences;
FINDING: The environmental, economic, social and energy consequences resulting
from the expansion of proposed amendment are summarized as follows.
Environmental: There are no identified Goal 5 resources present on the site. The site
does not contain any significant natural features such as wetlands, waterways or rimrock.
EXHiBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 ) 1
There are no identified natural hazards present at the site, other than wildfire, which
would be present to the same extent in and around Sisters. The property is already
developed but inclusion within the UGB will allow the airport to utilize the municipal
sewer system, rather than relying on an on-site sewage disposal system. Use ofthe
municipal sewer system should reduce the risk of adverse environmental consequences
associated with sewage disposal.
Energy: The subject property is not known to contain energy resources such as known
deposits of oil and natural gas, or geothermal resources. The site is adjacent to public
roads which are adequate for the use.
Economic: Consistent with the findings above, expanding the UGB and annexing the
airport to the city provides a distinct economic advantage because the airport provides
greater transportation access to the city, promoting economic development within the
city. Once the airport is a permitted use it is anticipated that construction of additional
hangars and a business park will commence, which will provide additional jobs. The
airport currently houses a growing engineering firm which provides living wage jobs for
members of the community.
Social: The Statewide Planning Goals define Social Consequences as follows:
The tangible and intangible efficts upon people and their relationships with the
community in which they live resulting from a particular action or decision.
One tangible effect could be increased traffic in this particular location as development
occurs. Increased usage of the airport by planes could also result in more noise from
aircraft. Another tangible effect would be improvements made at the airport such as new
facilities, hangars and landscaping. Intangible effects could include a greater sense of
pride in an improved airport, an improved sense of economic well-being and a closer
identification between the citizens of Sisters and the airport once it is annexed into the
city.
Staff found, and the Hearings Officer agrees, that the comparative environmental, energy,
economic and social consequences of this proposal have been considered.
4. Compatibility of the proposed urban uses with nearby agricultural
and forest activities occurring on farm and forest land outside the
UGB.
FINDING: The site is not located near agricultural or forest zones. The site is bordered
on the north, south and east by land zoned RR-l 0 and developed for rural residential use.
It is bordered on the west side by Camp Polk Road and land within the existing UGB.
As discussed above, the subject property is already developed as an airport and has been
in existence for at least 60 years. For these reasons, the proposed UGB expansion and
airport use will not adversely impact farm and forest land outside the UGB.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 12
Urbanizable Land
Land within urban growth boundaries shall be considered available for
urban development consistent with plans for the provision of urban facilities
and services. Comprehensive plans and implementing measures shall
manage the use and division of urbanizable land to maintain its potential for
planned urban development until appropriate public facilities and services
are available or planned.
FINDING: As noted in foregoing findings, the expansion site can be efficiently served
by all needed public facilities and services.
Unincorporated Communities
FINDING: The expansion site is not located within an unincorporated community. This
criterion does not apply.
Single-Family Dwellings in Exception Areas
FINDING: No single-family dwellings are proposed. This criterion does not apply.
Rural Industrial Development
FINDING: No industrial development is proposed. This criterion does not apply_
13. Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway; Goal 16: Estuarine Resources; Goal
17: Coastal Shorelands; Goal 18: Beaches and Dunes; Goal 19: Ocean
Resources
FINDING: These Goals are not applicable.
B. Oregon Revised Statutes, 197.298
Priority of land to be included within urban growth boundary. (1) In addition to
any requirements established by rule addressing urbanization, land may not be
included within an urban growth boundary except under the following priorities:
(a) First priority is land that is designated urban reserve land under ORS
195.145, rule or metropolitan service district action plan.
(b) If land under paragraph (a) of this subsection is inadequate to accommodate
the amount of land needed, second priority is land adjacent to an urban
growth boundary that is identified in an acknowledged comprehensive plan
as an exception area or nonresource land. Second priority may include
resource land that is completely surrounded by exception areas unless such
resource land is high-value farmland as described in ORS 215.710.
!
i•t I
I,
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 13
FINDING: As noted in foregoing findings, Goal 14 requires the proposed expansion to
be consistent with ORS 197.298. The subject property is designated as Rural Residential
Exception Area in the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan; these lands were not
designated as such via ORS 195.145. The City of Sisters does not have any 'first
priority' lands available for the proposed need-specific UGB expansion. The subject
property is considered an exception area, is adjacent to an urban growth boundary and,
consequently, is categorized as 'second priority' land, which is the highest priority land
available.
C. Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR)
1. Section 660-004-0010, Application of the Goal 2 Exception Process to Certain
Goals.
C. When a local government changes an established urban growth
boundary applying Goal 14 as amended April 28, 2005, a goal
exception is not required unless the local government seeks an
exception to any of the requirements of Goal 14 or other applicable
goals.
FINDING: As noted above, the county has applied Goal 14 as amended April 28, 2005.
Since the applicant does not seek any goal exception, a goal exception is not required for
the proposed UGB expansion.
2. Section 660-012-0060, Plan and Land Use Regulation Amendments.
(1) Where an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged
comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation would significantly
affect an existing or planned transportation facility, the local
government shall put in place measures as provided in section (2) of
this rule to assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the
identified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of
service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. A plan or land
use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation
facility if it would:
(a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned
transportation facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in
an adopted plan);
(b) Change standards implementing a functional classification
system; or
(c) As measured at the end of the planning period identified in the
adopted transportation system plan:
(A) Allow land uses or levels of development that would
result in types or levels of travel or access that are
inconsistent with the functional classification of an
existing or planned transportation facility;
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 14
(B) Reduce the performance of an existing or planned
transportation facility below the minimum acceptable
performance standard identified in the TSP or
comprehensive plan; or
(C) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned
transportation facility that is otherwise projected to
perform below the minimum acceptable performance
standard identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan.
(2) Where a local government determines that there would be a
significant effect, compliance with section (1) shall be accomplished
through one or a combination of the following:
(a) Adopting measures that demonstrate allowed land uses are
consistent with the planned function, capacity, and
performance standards of the transportation facility.
(b) Amending the TSP or comprehensive plan to provide
transportation facilities, improvements or services adequate to
support the proposed land uses consistent with the
requirements of this division; such amendments shall include a
funding plan or mechanism consistent with section (4) or
include an amendment to the transportation finance plan so
that the facility, improvement, or service will be provided by
the end of the planning period.
(c) Altering land use designations, densities, or design
requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and
meet travel needs through other modes.
(d) Amending the TSP to modify the planned function, capacity or
performance standards of the transportation facility.
(e) Providing other measures as a condition of development or
through a development agreement or similar funding method,
including transportation system management measures,
demand management or minor transportation improvements.
Local governments shall as part of the amendment specify
when measures or improvements provided pursuant to this
subsection wUl be provided.
FINDING: The Hearings Officer finds that the provisions of OAR 660-024-0020(lXd)
exempt the proposal from the requirements ofthe TPR because the proposed zoning
designation, UAR-l 0, will not generate more vehicle trips than those allowed under the
current zoning classification, RR-IO. Furthermore, the analysis discussed above shows that
the amendment does not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility.
3. Section 660-024-0000, Purpose and Applicability.
(1) The rules in this division clarify procedures and requirements of Goal
14 reparding local government adoption or amendment of an urban
growth boundary (UGB).
EXlllBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013·016 15
(3) The rules in this division are effective AprilS, 2007, except as follows:
(a) A local government may choose to apply this division prior to
April 5,2007;
(b) A local government may choose to not apply this division to a
plan amendment concerning the evaluation or amendment of a
UGB, regardless of the date of that amendment, if the local
government initiated the evaluation or amendment of the UGB
prior to April 5, 2007;
FINDING: These rules became effective AprilS, 2007. The proposed plan amendment
was submitted to Deschutes County on June 28, 2013. Therefore, these rules apply.
4. Section 660-024-0020, Adoption or Amendment of a UGB .
(1) All statewide goals and related administrative rules are applicable
when establishing or amending a UGB, except as follows:
(a) The exceptions process in Goal 2 and OAR 660, division 4, is
not applicable unless a local government chooses to take an
exception to a particular goal requirement, for example, as
provided in OAR 660-004-0010(1);
FINDING: The applicant is not seeking any goal exception.
(b) Goals 3 and 4 are not applicable;
FINDING: Goals 3 and 4 are not applicable.
(c) GoalS and related rules under OAR 660, division 23, apply
only in areas added to the UGB, except as required under OAR
660-023-0070 and 660-023-0250;
FINDING: As noted in foregoing findings, there are no GoalS resources impacted by
the proposed expansion.
(d) The transportation planning rule requirements under OAR
660-012-0060 need not be applied to a UGB amendment if the
land added to the UGB is zoned as urbanizable land, either by
retaining the zoning that was assigned prior to inclusion in the
boundary or by assigning interim zoning that does not allow
development that would generate more vehicle trips than
development allowed by the zoning assigned prior to inclusion
in the boundary;
FINDING: As noted in foregoing findings, the 34.3-acre expansion site is currently
designated Rural R~sidential Exception Area and is zoned RR-IO. Under the proposed
EXIDBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 16
amendments the property will be designated Urban Area Reserve and zoned UAR-I 0, a
zoning district that constitutes urbanizable land and that does not allow development that
would generate more vehicle trips that development allowed by the RR-l 0 zone. For
these reasons, OAR 660-012-0060 need not be applied to this UGB amendment.
(e) Goal 15 is not applicable to land added to the UGB unless the
land is within the Willamette River Greenway Boundary;
FINDING: The proposed expansion area is not within the Willamette River Greenway
Boundary and, therefore, Goal 15 is not applicable.
(f) Goals 16 to 18 are not applicable to land added to the UGB
unless the land is within a coastal shorelands boundary;
FINDING: The proposed expansion area is not within a coastal shorelands boundary
and, therefore, Goals 16 to 18 are not applicable.
(g) Goal 19 is not applicable to a UGB amendment.
FINDING: Goal 19 is not applicable.
(2) The UGB and amendments to the UGB must be shown on the city and
county plan and zone maps at a scale sufficient to determine which
particular lots or parcels are included in the UGB. Where a UGB does
not follow lot or parcel lines, the map must provide sufficient
information to determine the precise UGB location.
FINDING: The applicant submitted several maps which show the property to be added
(See: Applicant's Exhibits B and N). The maps provide sufficient information to
determine the precise UGB location. This criterion has been met.
5. Section 660-024-0030, Population Forecasts
(1) Counties must adopt and maintain a coordinated 20-year population
forecast for the county and for each urban area within the county
consistent with statutory requirements for such forecasts under ORS
195.025 and 195.036. Cities must adopt a 20-year population forecast
for the urban area consistent with the coordinated county forecast,
except that a metropolitan service district must adopt and maintain a
20-year population forecast for the area within its jurisdiction. In
adopting the coordinated forecast, local governments must follow
applicable procedures and requirements in ORS 197.610 to 197.650
and must provide notice to all other local governments in the county.
The adopted forecast must be included in the comprehensive plan or
in a document referenced by the plan.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 17
FINDING: The county adopted a coordinated population forecast through 2025 on
September 8, 2004 (See: Ordinance No. 2004-12). The city adopted the same forecast.
6. Section 660-024-0040, Land Need
(1) The UGB must be based on the adopted 20-year population forecast
for the urban area described in OAR 660-024-0030, and must provide
for needed housing, employment and other urban uses such as public
facilities, streets and roads, schools, parks and open space over the 20
year planning period consistent with the land need requirements of
Goal 14 and this rule. The 20-year need determinations are estimates
which, although based on the best available information and
methodologies, should not be held to an unreasonably high level of
precision.
FINDING: This rule contemplates legislative UOB amendments, however Subsection
(3) of this section allows for need-specific UOB expansions (see below).
(2) If the UGB analysis or amendment is conducted as part of a periodic
review work program, the 20-year planning period must commence
on the date initially scheduled for completion of the appropriate work
task. If the UGB analysis or amendment is conducted as a post
acknowledgement plan amendment under ORS 197.610 to 197.625,
the 20-year planning period must commence either:
(a) On the date initially scheduled for final adoption of the
amendment specified by the local government in the initial
notice of the amendment required by OAR 660-018-0020; or
(b) If more recent than the date determined in subsection (a), at
the beginning of the 20-year period specified in the coordinated
population forecast for the urban area adopted by the city and
county pursuant to OAR 660-024-0030, unless ORS 197.296
requires a different date for local governments subject to that
statute.
FINDING: In a Hearings Officer decision for a quasi-judicial plan amendment to
expand the City of Bend UOB for a school site (PA-07-5), the Hearings Officer found
that this criterion did not apply because the applicant's proposal was not being requested
as part of periodic review work program. The city and county coordinated popUlation
forecast is discussed above.
(3) A local government may review and amend the UGB in consideration
of one category of land need (for example, housing need) without a
simultaneous review and amendment in consideration of other
categories of land need (for example, employment need).
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 18
FINDING: The applicant seeks to amend the UGB for a specific land need. No other
needs are under review with this application.
(4) The determination of20-year residential land needs for an urban area
must be consistent with the adopted 20-year coordinated population
forecast for the urban area, and with the requirements for
determining housing needs in Goal 10, OAR 660, division 7 or 8, and
applicable provisions ofORS 197.295 to 197.314 and 197.475 to
197.490.
FINDING: The proposed expansion is not for residential land needs. This criterion does
not apply.
(5) Except for a metropolitan service district described in ORS
197.015(14), the determination of20-year employment land need for
an urban area must comply with applicable requirements of Goal 9
and OAR 660, division 9, and must include a determination of the
need for a short-term supply of land for employment uses consistent
with OAR 660-009-0025. Employment land need may be based on an
estimate of job growth over the planning period; local government
must provide a reasonable justification for the job growth estimate
but Goal 14 does not require that job growth estimates necessarily be
proportional to population growth.
FINDING: While the proposed UGB expansion will help meet employment land needs,
the primary purpose of the proposed expansion is to rezone the Airport to an airport zone
which will allow the Airport to make improvements and operate as a permitted use.
Because the proposed UGB amendment is not for the primary purpose of meeting
employment land needs this criterion is not applicable.
(6) The determination of20-year land needs for transportation and
public facilities for an urban area must comply with applicable
requirements of Goals 11 and 12, rules in OAR 660, divisions 11 and
12, and public facilities requirements in ORS 197.712 and 197.768.
The determination of school facility needs must also comply with ORS
195.110 and 197.296 for local governments specified in those statutes.
FINDING: Consistency with Goals 11 and 12 are addressed in foregoing findings. ORS
197.712 and 197.768 require an analysis of general public facilities such as sewer and
water to be included in the Comprehensive Plans of cities and counties. Both the City of
Sisters and the Deschutes County Plans include the required analysis.
7. Section 660-024-0050, Land Inventory and Response to Deficiency
(1) When evaluating or amending a UGB, a local government must
inventory land inside the UGB to determine whether there is adequate
EXHIBIT 0 TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 19
-
development capacity to accommodate 20-year needs determined in
OAR 660-024-0040. For residential land, the buildable land inventory
must include vacant and redevelopable land, and be conducted in
accordance with OAR 660-007-0045 or 660-008-0010, whichever is
applicable, and ORS 197.296 for local governments subject to that
statute. For employment land, the inventory must include suitable
vacant and developed land designated for industrial or other
employment use, and must be conducted in accordance with OAR
660-009-0015(3).
FINDING: As noted above, the only need being evaluated by this specific UGB
expansion application is the need for appropriate zoning and infrastructure to allow the
existing airport to develop to its full potential. As discussed above, alternative sites for
the airport within the existing UGB have been adequately examined.
(6) When land is added to the UGB, the local government must assign
appropriate urban plan designations to the added land, consistent
with the need determination. The local government must also apply
appropriate zoning to the added land consistent with the plan
designation, or may maintain the land as urbanizable land either by
retaining the zoning that was assigned prior to inclusion in the
boundary or by applying other interim zoning that maintains the
land's potential for planned urban development until the land is
rezoned for the planned urban uses. The requirements of ORS
197.296 regarding planning and zoning also apply when local
governments specified in that statute add land to the UGB.
FINDING: As noted in foregoing findings, the proposed expansion area is currently
zoned RR-IO, and has a plan designation of Rural Residential Exception Area. The
proposed plan designation is Urban Reserve, and the proposed zone designation is UAR
10, which is consistent with the proposed plan designation.
8. Section 660-024-0060, Boundary Location Alternatives Analysis
(1) When considering a UGB amendment, a local government must
determine which land to add by evaluating alternative boundary
locations. This determination must be consistent with the priority of
land specified in ORS 197.298 and the boundary location factors of
Goal 14, as follows:
(a) Beginning with the highest priority of land available, a local
government must determine which land in that priority is
suitable to accommodate the need deficiency determined under
660-024-0050.
FINDING: The proposed expansion area is designated as exception land, Rural
Residential Exception Area. As noted in foregoing findings, although this land is
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 20
classified as 'second priority: it is the highest priority land available for consideration
when expanding the City of Sisters' UGB.
(b) If the amount of suitable land in the first priority category
exceeds the amount necessary to satisfy the need deficiency, a
local government must apply the location factors of Goal 14 to
choose which land in that priority to include in the UGB.
FINDING: As discussed previously, there are no 'first priority' lands available.
(2) Notwithstanding OAR 660-024-0050(4) and subsection (1)(c) ofthis
rule, except during periodic review or other legislative review of the
UGB, a local government may approve an application under ORS
197.610 to 197.625 for a UGB amendment proposing to add an
amount of land less than necessary to satisfy the land need deficiency
determined under OAR 660-024-0050(4), provided the amendment
complies with all other applicable requirements.
FINDING: This subsection authorizes the city and county to expand the Sisters' UGB to
address a specific need with a specific piece of property. The amendment is not designed
to satisfy a 20-year land need.
(3) The boundary location factors of Goal 14 are not independent
criteria. When the factors are applied to compare alternative
boundary locations and to determine the UGB location, a local
government must show that an the factors were considered and
balanced.
FINDING: The boundary location factors of Goal 14 are addressed in foregoing
findings.
(4) In determining alternative land for evaluation under ORS 197.298,
"land adjacent to the UGB" is not limited to those lots or parcels that
abut the UGB, but also includes land in the vicinity of the UGB that
has a reasonable potential to satisfy the identified need deficiency.
FINDING: The subject property abuts the UGB and has the most potential to satisfy the
need for an airport because the land has already been developed as an airport. Because
the subject property meets the size and development requirements it is preferable to all
the other sites reviewed. The property is the highest priority land available under ORS
197.298. It is close to existing municipal public services such as water, sewer and
transportation, all of which have been shown to have adequate capacity to accommodate
the Airport. The subject property is already developed and permitted by the ODA.
(5) If a local government has specified characteristics such as parcel size,
topography, or proximity that are necessary for land to be suitable for
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 21
an identified need, the local government may limit its consideration to
land that has the specified characteristics when it conducts the
boundary location alternatives analysis and applies ORS 197.298.
FINDING: Previous findings discussed the specific characteristics used to evaluate a
number of alternative sites for the identified need.
(6) The adopted findings for UGB adoption or amendment must describe
or map all of the alternative areas evaluated in the boundary location
alternatives analysis. If the analysis involves more than one parcel or
area within a particular priority category in ORS 197.298 for which
circumstances are the same, these parcels or areas may be considered
and evaluated as a single group.
FINDING: The submitted burden of proof describes and maps all of the alternative sites
(See: Applicant's Exhibit D).
(7) For purposes of Goal 14 Boundary Location Factor 2, "public
facilities and services" means water, sanitary sewer, storm water
management, and transportation facilities.
FINDING: Water, sewer, and transportation facilities were addressed above when
evaluating Goal 14 Boundary Location Factor 2.
(8) The Goal 14 boundary location determination requires evaluation and
comparison of the relative costs, advantages and disadvantages of
alternative UGB expansion areas with respect to the provision of
public facilities and services needed to urbanize alternative boundary
locations. This evaluation and comparison must be conducted in
coordination with service providers, including the Oregon
Department of Transportation with regard to impacts on the state
transportation system. "Coordination" includes timely notice to
service providers and the consideration of evaluation methodologies
recommended by service providers. The evaluation and comparison
must include:
(a) The impacts to existing water, sanitary sewer, storm water and
transportation facilities that serve nearby areas already inside
the UGB;
(b) The capacity of existing public facilities and services to serve
areas already inside the UGB as well as areas proposed for
addition to the UGB; and
FINDING: As noted above, the application materials include an analysis of the city's
ability to provide water and sewer service to the property for the desired use (See:
Applicant's Exhibit K). The applicant's analysis concludes that city water and sewer
service is available and adequate to serve the property. Since no development is being
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 22
proposed at this time, there would be no immediate effects on storm water runoff. Once
the property is annexed, and new development is proposed, then the city would review
the effects of development on storm water runoff pursuant to the city's adopted
ordinances. As discussed previously, no TPR analysis is required because the proposed
zone change will not result in additional trip generation. The applicant submitted a
Traffic Impact Study (See: Applicant's Exhibit G), however that study compared the
current zoning with the new airport zone that would be applied to the property upon
annexation.
(c) The need for new transportation facilities, such as highways
and other roadways, interchanges, arterials and collectors,
additional travel lanes, other major improvements on existing
roadways and, for urban areas of 25,000 or more, the provision
of public transit service.
FINDING: As described above, the applicant provided a traffic impact study that
compared trip generation under current zoning with the new airport zone the city would
apply upon annexation. Significantly, the study concluded:
"No additional infrastructure or changes to the City's adopted plans would
be required to support the rezone; all roadway facilities surrounding the
airport will continue to operate in accordance with their intended
classification and function. Adoption of the airport into City limits would
require minor changes to the Transportation System Plan narrative text
that could be provided as part ofthe City'S periodic updates".
As described previously, the County Transportation Planner commented that the
proposed zone change to UAR-l 0 will not result in any additional trip generation because
the UAR-IO zone has the same density as the RR-IO zone, and the imaginary surfaces
associated with the airport limit new development. For these reasons there is no need for
roadway improvements at this stage. Once the property has been annexed and the City
applies a new airport zone to the property, then the City can evaluate the need for
transportation improvements.
D. Title 18, Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance
1. Chapter 18.136, Amendments.
Dec Title 18 may be amended as set forth in DeC 18.136. The procedures
for text or legislative map changes shall be as set forth in DeC 22.12. A
request by a property owner for a quasi-judicial map amendment shall be
accomplished by filing an application on forms provided by the Planning
Department and shall be subject to applicable procedures of DeC Title 22.
ExmBIT 0 TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 23
FINDING: The applicant has requested a quasi-judicial map amendment and has filed
the application on forms provided by the Planning Division. The request was reviewed
under the terms of DCC Title 22. This criterion is satisfied.
A. Section 18.136.020, Rezoning Standards.
The applicant for a quasi-judicial rezoning must establish that the
public interest is best served by rezoning the property. Factors to be
demonstrated are:
1. That the change conforms with the Comprehensive Plan, and
the change is consistent with the plan's introductory statement
and goals.
FINDING: As described below, the change conforms with the Comprehensive Plan and
is consistent with the plan's introductory statement and goals.
2. That the change in classification for the subject property is
consistent with the purpose and intent of the proposed zone
classification.
FINDING: Again, as described below, the change in classification is consistent with the
purpose and intent of the UAR-lO zone classification.
3. That changing the zoning will presently serve the public
health, safety and welfare considering the following factors:
i. The availability and efficiency of providing necessary
public services and facilities.
FINDING: The property has adequate access to Barclay Drive, a local road, and thereby
to Camp Polk Road, a collector. The applicant's analysis shows that city water and
sewer services are available and adequate for the use. Police and fire services are also
available upon annexation. This criterion is satisfied.
ii. The impacts on surrounding land use will be consistent
with the specific goals and policies contained within the
Comprehensive Plan.
FINDING: Since the airport is an established use, it predates much of the development
on surrounding lands, so that additional impacts should be few. Findings to address
relevant goals and policies contained within the Comprehensive Plan are contained
elsewhere in this decision.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 24
4. That there has been a change in circumstances since the
property was last zoned, or a mistake was made in the zoning
of the property in question.
FINDING: Findings to address this criterion are found below and incorporated herein
by reference.
E. Title 22, Deschutes County Development Procedures Ordinance
1. Chapter 22.28.030, Land Use Action Decisions
Decision on plan amendments and zone changes.
B. In considering all quasi-judicial zone changes and those quasi-judicial
plan amendments on which the Hearings Officer has authority to
make a decision, the Board of County Commissioners shall, in the
absence of an appeal or review initiated by the Board, adopt the
Hearings Officer's decision. No argument or further testimony will
be taken by the Board.
FINDING: A public hearing with the County Hearings Officer was held on August 27,
2013. A public meeting before the Board could be scheduled subsequent to the Hearings
Officer decision. Since this application does not involve a goal exception or lands
designated for farm or forest use, the Hearings Officer has the authority to make the
decision. In the absence of an appeal or review initiated by the Board, the Board may
adopt the Hearings Officer's decision without taking argument or further testimony.
F. Title 23, the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan-20ll
1. Chapter 4. Urban Growth Management.
A. Section 4.2. Urbanization Policies.
1. Goal 1. Coordinate with cities, special districts and
stakeholders to support urban growth boundaries and urban
reserve areas that provide an orderly and efficient transition
between urban and rural lands.
2. Policy 4.2.1. Participate in the process initiated by cities in
Deschutes County to create and/or amend their urban growth
boundaries.
FINDING: The process for review of this application provided the County the
opportunity to coordinate with the City of Sisters and participate in the process of
amending the city's UGB. Affected agencies and departments have been notified of the
application and notice has been given to the pUblic. Findings to address the orderly and
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 25
efficient transition between urban and rural lands are found elsewhere in this report and
are incorporated herein by reference.
G. PL-16, The Sisters Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
'1. Part VI, Implementation Programs and Policies
Comprehensive Plan Review Adoption, Amendments
• * * * Any changes should be consistent with the goals, objectives, policies
and statements of intent of the plan or these guidelines should first be
changed or amended to reflect the new policies. This should be true of
both changes resulting from periodic Planning Commission review and
from individual petitions. Hearings of plan amendments shall follow the
amendment procedures set forth in the ordinance adopting the Plan.
(plan, page 108)
FINDING: The applicant contends that the Sisters Comprehensive Plan Goals and
Policies generally apply to actions undertaken by the City and not by the County,
therefore they are not mandatory approval criteria for the County's decision on proposed
quasi-judicial plan amendments to expand the Sisters' UGB to include Sisters Airport.
The applicant also states that the Plan Goals and Policies closely mirror the Statewide
Planning Goals which are mandatory approval criteria and are addressed within this
report.
The Hearings Officer generally agrees with these statements but notes that in the
Hearings Officer's decision to expand the Sisters' UOB to provide land for a fire training
facility (See: P A-08-2/ZC-08-8), the Hearings Officer found that whether a plan policy
constitutes a mandatory approval criterion ..."depends not only on the language ofthe
policy but also on the function the plan assigns to the policy". For this reason, the
following plan policies are addressed.
Public Facilities and Services Element (page 65)

4. Urban expansion above the city's water service level shall be prohibited
unless the city distribution system is improved.
FINDINGS: The applicant has provided an analysis of the impact of the proposal on the
city's water system, which is incorporated herein by reference. That analysis
(Applicant's Exhibit K) concludes that extension of an existing 12 inch water line to the
property will provide more than adequate fire and domestic flows to the site.

Economic Element (page 75)
• ***
Policies

6. Zoning for the various land uses shall be done in a timely manner to assure
proper balance or economic growth and residential development and the
provision of public facilities and services.
FINDINGS: As discussed elsewhere, the subject property has good transportation
access, is adjacent to the city's uaB and industrial development, can be served by city
water and sewer and would allow for the full utilization of the airport as another
component of the city's overall economic development.
H. Title 21, Sisters Urban Area Zoning Ordinance
1. Chapter 21.04, Introductory Provisions
A. Section 21.04.020, Purpose.
1. DCC Title 21 has been designed to be consistent with the goals,
policies, elements, and statements of intent of the Sisters Urban
Area Comprehensive Plan, the officially adopted
comprehensive plan for the City of Sisters and its surrounding
urbanizing area. The general purpose of DCC Title 21 is to
provide for one principal means for implementation of the
Sisters Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
2. DCC Title 21 is designed to classify, designate and regulate the
use of land within the Sisters Urban Growth Boundary outside
the City of Sisters City Limits. To achieve this purpose, DCC
Title 21 divides the Sisters Unincorporated Urban Area into
appropriate zoning districts as set forth in the policies and
elements of the Sisters Urban Area Comprehensive Plan.
3. The further purpose of DCC Title 21 policies and elements of
the Sisters Area Comprehensive Plan, is to encourage the most
appropriate use of land; to conserve and preserve natural
resources and the quality that is unique to Sisters, including
open space for light, air, fire prevention, and for sanitary
purposes; to prevent undue or uncharacteristic concentrations
of population; to lessen congestion of streets; to facilitate
adequate provisions for community utilities such as
transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks and other public
requirements; to promote the public health, safety, general
welfare and to protect and enhance the visual quality of the
Sisters area.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 27
FINDING: The application is consistent with the purpose of Title 21 because the
applicant seeks to expand the UGB to include the airport which will encourage the most
appropriate use of the land. Annexing the property and rezoning the property to an
airport zoning district will allow the airport to further develop to better serve the city and
the surrounding area.
2. Chapter 21.16, Urban Area Reserve Zone-UARI0.
A. Section 21.16.010, Purpose
To serve as a holding category and to provide opportunity for tax
differentials as urban growth takes place elsewhere in the planning
area, and to be preserved as long as possible as useful open space until
needed for orderly growth.
FINDING: Changing the zoning of the Airport is compliant with the purpose of the
UAR-lO Zone because rezoning the Airport to UAR-lO will serve as a holding category
while the City and County process their respective land use applications. Once the
County agrees to release the property to the City and the City agrees to accept it, the City
will annex the property and then rezone it to an Airport Zone. It is appropriate for the
subject property to be rezoned as UAR-1 0 to serve as a holding category during the land
use process until annexation.
3. Chapter 21.40, Amendments
A. Section 21.40.010, Amendments
DCC Title 21 may be amended by changing the boundaries of
districts, or by changing any other provisions thereof as set forth in
DCC 21.40. The procedures for text or legislative map changes shall
be as set forth in DCC 22.12. A request by a property owner for a
quasi-judicial map amendment shall be accomplished by filing an
application on forms provided by the Planning Department and shall
be subject to applicable procedures of DCC Title 22.
FINDING: As described previously, the applicant has applied for a quasi-judicial map
amendment on forms provided by the Planning Department and the application is being
reviewed under the applicable provisions of DCC Title 22. This criterion is satisfied.
B. Section 21.40.020, Standards for Zone Change
The burden of proof is upon the applicant. The applicant shall in all
cases establish:
i. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
ii. Conformance with all applicable statutes.
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 28
iii. Conformance with statewide planning goals whenever they are
determined to be applicable.
iv. That there is a public need for a change ofthe kind in question.
v. That the need will be best served by changing the classification
of the particular piece of property in question as compared
with other available property.
vi. That there is proof of a change in circumstance or a mistake in
the original zoning.
vii. That annexation to the City of Sisters will accompany the zone
change.
FINDING: Findings to address compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, applicable
statutes and statewide planning goals are contained within this decision and are
incorporated herein by reference. With these findings, the Hearings Officer finds that
items (i), (ii) and (iii) are satisfied.
With respect to items (iv) and (v), there is a public need for this change because as the
closest public airport to the City, the airport plays an important role in providing
emergency and recreational access for the citizens of Sisters. The public has expressed
their approval and desire to annex the airport during the November 2012 general election.
The public need will be best served by annexing the particular piece of property as
compared with other property because the existing Airport has already been developed
and received approval by the ODA and the community. Changing the classification will
allow the community to recuperate the benefits of their existing investment and avoid the
need to develop an additional airport, thereby preserving nearby undeveloped land.
With respect to item (vi), the applicant believes that the RR-lO zone was placed on the
property in error. As detailed elsewhere in this report, the airport was developed at least
60 years ago, before the County had any zoning ordinance. The property was zoned RR
10 in 1979 under PL-15, which rendered the property a lawful non-conforming use.
However, staff notes that, in 1979, there was no zoning district that could be applied to
the subject property that would authorize or recognize the airport use. So, the County did
not have the ability to apply an airport-related zoning district to the property. For these
reasons, changes in circumstances have occurred since 1979 which warrant the proposed
amendment
The City of Sisters has grown to the north and east over this time period such that the
City is now contiguous to the subject property. The City now has a municipal sewer
system that has service lines proximate to the property and the capacity to serve the
property. Industrial development has occurred adjacent to the subject property, within
the city limits, compatible with airport use. For these reasons, item (vi) is satisfied.
Because the voters of Sisters have approved a ballot measure to annex the subject
property, item (vii) is met
EXHIBIT D TO ORDINANCE 2013-016 29
IV. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the record and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law set forth above, I
find that the proposal complies with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Oregon Revised
Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules, the Sisters Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, and the
Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
