AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of Oct. 27,2014
DATE: Oct. 17,2014
FROM: Peter Russell. Community Development Dept 383-6718
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
APublic Hearing and Possible First and Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2014-026
Amending Title 18, the Deschutes County Zoning Map, to Add the Zoning Districts for the Bend
Airport and Declaring an Emergency.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? YES.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The rezone corrects a scrivener's error and a procedural defect. In 1980 the County received a Goal 3
(Agriculture) exception for the lands for the Bend Airport and in 1982 created the Airport
Development (AD) zone for those Goal 3 lands. In the mid-1990s the County transitioned from paper
to electronic maps. In an apparent error in digitizing, the northern boundary of the AD zone was
incorrectly moved to the south.
In 2003, the Board adopted Ordinances 2003-036 to designate the land use zones Airfield Operations
(AO), Aviation Support (AS), and Airport Related Industrial District (ARID) at the Bend Airport. The
remaining A-D zone dealt with non-aviation uses. Due to a procedural defect, the maps were not
adopted, which wsa not discovered until March 2014. The upshot is without the AO, AS, and ARID
subdistricts being mapped there are no allowed aviation uses at the Bend Airport under the current
code. The City applied in File 247-14-000156-ZC to correct the A-D spatial error and to readopt the
AO, AS, and ARID zoning subdisticts as proposed in the 2003 ordinance. On Aug. 28,2014, the
Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public hearing on File 247-14-000156-ZC and
unanimously voted to recommend the Board approve the rezone.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Without the map correction, the only allowed uses at the Bend Airport under County code are all non
aviation uses. With the re-establishment of the AO, AS, and ARID zones land use applications and
their related economic development related to aviation can be reviewed for approval.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Conduct a public hearing on Ordinance 2014-026
MOTION 1: Approval of first and second reading by title only of Ordinance 2014-026

The Bend Airport Master Plan includes an Airport Layout Plan. The proposed zoning map is
consistent with Drawing 6 -On-Airport Land Use Plan. The proposed zoning map uses the
same boundaries as the plan map and provides zoning consistent with the plan designation.
The On -Airport Land Use Plan depicts the recommended uses of airport property associated
with the ALP . Four primary use categories are defined.
A -Airfield Operations
AS - Aviation Support
AI -Aviation -Related Industrial
OS -Open Space
The area surrounding the runway and taxiway is designated airfield operations (A). This area
is defined by the required clearances and setbacks associated with the runway, runway
approaches, parallel taxiway , and parallel taxiway reserve.
The west side of the airport is designated aviation support (AS). AS areas accommodate the
full range of aviation-related land uses including hangars and other aviation-related buildings,
aircraft parking, fueling areas , etc . The northern half of the east side of the airport is also
designated AS. A portion of this area is planned for aviation-related development within the
current 20-year planning period and a portion is reserved for long-term aviation use. Additional
AS areas are identified along the east edge of the airport boundary.
Aviation-Related Industrial (AI) areas are located on the east side of the airport. Future AI
development areas are identified immediately north of Lancair and south of the future east side
hangar development.
The distribution of airport land uses reflects the mixture of facilities and activities that currently
exist or are planned for the airport . The primary purpose of the airport is to accommodate
aviation-related needs . The updated Bend Airport Master Plan and associated drawings
illustrate that the long-term aviation needs of the airport are addressed with the added
protection of ARID zoning to accommodate a wide range of unforeseen development needs .
The proposed zoning map implements Drawing 6 by mapping the zoning districts that were
adopted in Chapter 18.76 to implement the Airfield Operations (A), Aviation Support (AS) and
Aviation-Related Industrial (AI) plan designations shown on the On -Airport Land Use Plan. The
plan designation -zone district designation correlations are:
Table 1 Designations in Bend Airport Master Plan and Deschutes County Title 18.76
Airport Layout Plan Designation Zone District Designation
Airfield Operations (A) Airport Operations DistrictlAOD)
Aviation Support (AS) Aviation Support District (AS D)
Aviat ion-Related I ndustrial (AI) Aviation-Related Industrial District (ARID)
Each zoning district on the proposed zoning map has the same boundaries as the
corresponding plan designation as shown on the On -Airport Land Use Plan.
The Board finds this criterion is met.
c. STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS
Page 8 of 23 -EXHIBIT C TO ORDINANCE 2014-026
The outright permitted uses under DCC 18.76.030 are :
• Class I and II road or street project subject to approval as part of a land
partition, subdivision or subject to the standards and criteria established
by DCC 18.116.230
• Class III road or street project
• Operation , maintenance, and piping of existing irrigation system operated
by an Irrigation district except as provided by in DCC 18.120 .050
• Farm use as defined in DCC Title 18
The conditional uses under DCC 18.76 .040 are :
• Farm accessory building and uses, except residential uses
• Utility facility necessary for public service, except landfills
• Excavation , grading and fill and removal within the bed and banks of a
stream or river or in a wetland subject to DCC 18.120.050 and/or DCC
18 .128.270
None of the uses allowed under DCC 18.76 .030 or 18 .76.040 are primary drivers of economic
development. Instead, they are allowed uses that are accessory or supplemental to existing
activities .
By contrast to the A-D zone, the AO, AS, and ARID zones will promote economic development
directly at the Bend Airport and indirectly throughout Central Oregon for those businesses
whose products or services are aviation related or are delivered by air (see Table 2). The
allowed AO , AS, and ARID uses with an economic development component are fuel storage
and sales and emergency repair ; restaurant, which may include a bar or cocktail lounge as an
accessory use; and airport or aviation -related businesses that benefit from an on-airport
location .
The re-mapping of the AO, AS, and ARID zones will provide adequate opportunities for a variety
of economic activities vital to the prosperity to the residents of Bend and Central Oregon.
Without the remapping, none of these activities can occur currently at the Bend Airport. The
Board finds this criterion has been met.
