Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization, requires cities, in cooperation with counties, to create Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs). The UGBs are legal lines that contain lands that are anticipated to urbanize over a 20-year period. UGBs allow cities to adequately plan for future urban facilities and services. State laws require that UGBs be adopted by both the city and the county. Besides the UGBs which define the land needed for city expansion over 20 years, some cities adopt Urban Reserve Areas (URAs), which define land needed beyond a 20 year horizon, typically representing an additional 10 to 30 year land supply. By adopting an URA a city can better plan for expansion and growth. Like UGBs, URAs are done in a partnership between a county and the city. Deschutes County has four incorporated cities. Bend, Redmond and Sisters were incorporated before 1979. The City of La Pine incorporated on November 7, 2006. Bend, Redmond and Sisters’ Comprehensive Plans are coordinated with the County. Certain elements are adopted into the County’s. In addition, the cities and the County maintain urban growth area zoning ordinances and cooperative agreements for mutually administering the unincorporated urbanizing areas. These areas are located outside city limits but within UGBs. As of 2010, La Pine has adopted a Comprehensive Plan and UGB. Until La Pine adopts its own land use regulations, County land use regulations will continue to be applied inside the City limits though a joint management agreement. In addition to cities and the associated UGBs and URAs, there are rural locations around the County that contain urban level development. These areas generally existed before the Oregon land use system was enacted in the early 1970s. In 1994 the Land Conservation and Development Commission wrote a new Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR), 660-22, to classify and regulate these unincorporated communities. The OAR created four categories of unincorporated communities and required the County to evaluate existing rural developments under the new Rule. Purpose The Urban Growth Management chapter, in concert with the other chapters of this Plan, specifies how Deschutes County will work with cities and unincorporated communities to accommodate growth while preserving rural character and resource lands. The following issues are covered in this chapter: Urbanization (Section 4.2) Unincorporated Communities Overview (Section 4.3) Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community (Section 4.4) Terrebonne Rural Community Plan (Section 4.5) Section 4.1 Section 4.1 Section 4.1 Section 4.1 IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction Page 159 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 3 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.1 INTRODUCTION Tumalo Rural Community Plan (Section 4.6) Black Butte Ranch and Inn of the 7th Mountain/Widgi Creek Rural Resorts (Section 4.7) Rural Service Centers (Section 4.8) Goal 14 recognizes the following: Statewide Planning Goal 14 Urbanization “To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities.” Excerpt from Goal 14 Planning Guidelines “‘Plans should designate sufficient amounts of urbanizable land to accommodate the need for further urban expansion, taking into account (1) the growth policy of the area; (2) the needs of the forecast population; (3) the carrying capacity of the planning area; and (4) open space and recreational needs.” Page 160 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 4 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.2 URBANIZATION Background This section describes the coordination between the County and the cities of Bend, La Pine, Redmond and Sisters on Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) and Urban Reserve Areas (URAs). Statewide Planning Goal 2 recognizes the importance of coordinating land use plans. “City, county, state and federal agency and special district plans and actions related to land use shall be consistent with the comprehensive plans of cities and counties and regional plans adopted under ORS Chapter 268.” Oregon Revised Statute 197.015(5) goes further to define comprehensive plan coordination. “A plan is “coordinated” when the needs of all levels of governments, semipublic and private agencies and the citizens of Oregon have been considered and accommodated as much as possible.” Population An important basis for coordinating with cities is adopted population projections. Having an estimate of anticipated population is the first step to planning for future growth and conservation. ORS 195.025(1) requires counties to coordinate local plans and population forecasts. The County oversees the preparation of a population forecast in close collaboration with cities. This is important because the population of the County has increased significantly in recent decades and a coordinated approach allows cities to ensure managed growth over time.

After reviewing these projections, all local governments adopted a coordinated population forecast. It was adopted by Deschutes County in 1998 by Ordinance 98-084. The results of the 2000 decennial census and subsequent population estimates prepared by the PRC revealed that the respective populations of the County and its incorporated cities were growing faster than anticipated under the 1998 coordinated forecast. The cites and the County re-engaged in a coordination process between 2002 and 2004 that culminated with the County adopting a revised population forecast that projected population to the year 2025. It was adopted by Ordinance 2004-012 and upheld by the Land Use Board of Appeals on March 28, 2005. The following table displays the 2004 coordinated population forecast for Deschutes County and the UGBs of the cities of Bend, Redmond, and Sisters.

Incorporated on November 7, 2006, the City of La Pine’s 2006 population estimate of 1,590 was certified by PRC on December 15, 2007. As a result of La Pine’s incorporation, Deschutes County updated its Coordinated Population Forecast with Ordinance 2009-006. The purpose of this modification was to adopt a conservative 20 year population forecast for the City of La Pine that could be used by city officials and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development to estimate its future land need and a UGB. The following table displays the coordinated population forecast for Deschutes County, the UGBs of the cities of Bend, Redmond, and Sisters, and La Pine from 2000 to 2025. By extending the growth rate to the year 2025, La Pine’s population will be 2,352. The non-urban unincorporated population decreases by 2,352 from its original projection of 81,951, to 79,599.

Such growth will undoubtedly require strategically managing the provision of public services and maintaining adequate amounts of residential, commercial and industrial lands. Growth pressures will also require programmatic approaches to maintain open spaces, natural resources, and functional ecosystems that help define the qualities of Deschutes County. Urban Growth Boundary Amendments Bend The City of Bend legislatively amended its UGB as part of a periodic review acknowledgment in December 2004. The Bend City Council and the Board of County Commissioners adopted concurrent ordinances that expanded the Bend UGB by 500 acres and satisfied a 20 year demand for industrial land. In July 2007, the Bend-La Pine School District received approvals to expand the City of Bend UGB to include two properties for the location of two elementary schools, one at the Pine Nursery, the other on Skyliner Road. Sisters The City of Sisters legislatively amended its UGB in September 2005 when its City Council and the Board of County Commissioners adopted respective ordinances. The Sisters UGB expansion covered 53 acres and satisfied a 20 year demand for residential, commercial, light industrial, and public facility land. In March 2009, Sisters amended their UGB to facilitate the establishment of a 4-acre fire training facility for the Sisters/Camp Sherman Fire District.

The Redmond UGB expansion covered 2,299 acres and satisfied a 20 year demand for residential and neighborhood commercial land. La Pine In 2010 La Pine adopted its first Comprehensive Plan. La Pine established a UGB that matches the city limits, because the City contains sufficient undeveloped land for future housing, commercial and industrial needs over a 20-year period. The Plan map includes land use designations intended to provide an arrangement of uses to ensure adequate and efficient provision of public infrastructure for all portions of the City and UGB. Urban Reserve Area Redmond In December 2005, Redmond City Council and the Board of County Commissioners adopted a 5,661 acre URA for the City. It is the first URA in Central Oregon because most cities find planning farther into the future than the 20-year UGB timeframe, challenging. Coordination As noted above, Statewide Goal 2 and ORS promote land use planning coordination. The purposes of the urbanization goals and policies in this section are to provide the link between urban and rural areas, and to provide some basic parameters within which the urban areas of Deschutes County can develop, although the specific comprehensive plan for each community remains the prevailing document for guiding growth in its respective area. These policies permit the County to review each city’s comprehensive plan to ensure effective coordination. The Redmond and Deschutes County Community Development Departments received the Oregon Chapter of American Planning Association's (OAPA) Professional Achievement in Planning Award in 2006 for the "Redmond Urban Reserve Area / Urban Growth Boundary Expansion Project.”. The following quote taken from the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association’s 2006 Awards Program shows why the Redmond Community Development Department was chosen for this award. “An outstanding effort to address Redmond's rapid population growth, including the successful designation of an Urban Reserve and the imminent designation of an Urban Growth Boundary, a “Framework Plan” with a requirement for master planning, and the establishment of “Great Neighborhood Principles.” Page 164 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 8 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.2 URBANIZATION Section 4.2 Urbanization PoliSection 4.2 Urbanization PoliSection 4.2 Urbanization PoliSection 4.2 Urbanization Policies cies cies cies Goals and Policies 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.

Page 166 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 10 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.3 UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES Background Besides the four incorporated cities in Deschutes County, there are a number of unincorporated communities. These consist of areas developed with urban uses in rural areas. Generally, unincorporated communities were developed prior to the Oregon planning system and recognized as rural service centers in the 1979 version of this plan. Subsequently, to control their growth, the State initiated unincorporated community classifications and regulations to define allowable uses. The 1979 comprehensive plan designated the following rural service centers (RSC): Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton, Millican, La Pine, Whistle Stop, Wickiup Junction, Terrebonne, Wild Hunt, Tumalo, Deschutes Junction and Deschutes River Woods. These areas were designated in that plan as exception areas from Goals 3, Agricultural Lands and 4, Forest Lands. Zoning under the Comprehensive Plan allowed for a mix of residential and commercial uses to support nearby residential developments. Until the early 1990s the scope of those uses was never much of an issue since there was little development pressure. In 1994 LCDC adopted a new administrative rule, OAR 660-22 to clarify what uses could be allowed in “unincorporated communities” without violating Statewide Planning Goals 11 and 14 relating to public facilities and urbanization. The rule identifies four different kinds of rural communities as shown below. Urban Unincorporated Community (UUC) Rural Community Resort Community Rural Service Center (RSC) In response, Deschutes County reviewed its RSCs to determine which areas fit those four classifications. In addition to the original RSCs listed above, additional developments were identified as communities for review including Black Butte Ranch, Inn of the Seventh Mountain/Widgi Creek and Sunriver. In reviewing these areas for conformance with OAR 660-22, some did not fit within the parameters of any of the four unincorporated community definitions and were instead zoned Rural Commercial or Rural Industrial. These areas are discussed in the Rural Economy section of this Plan. Unincorporated Communities Table 4.3.1 below shows the Deschutes County unincorporated communities as of 2010. La Pine is not listed because on November 7, 2006, the residents of the La Pine Urban Unincorporated Community voted to incorporate. The City of La Pine has adopted a comprehensive plan and is completing associated zoning and other codes. Policies for each unincorporated community can be found in the remaining sections of this plan.

Consequently, only minor changes have been made to those sections of this Plan. The exceptions are the Community Plans for Tumalo and Terrebonne which are being adopted separately. These will be incorporated into this plan as Sections 4.5 and 4.6. Page 168 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 12 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY Background In the fall of 1994 the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted a Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-22, Unincorporated Communities. The new rule required counties to update land use plans and regulations for areas with urban-style development on rural lands. As part of Periodic Review, the County updated the Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations for Sunriver to comply with the rule. Under OAR 660-22, Sunriver meets the definition for both an “Urban Unincorporated Community” and a “Resort Community.” With the help of a stakeholder advisory committee comprised of key members of the community who represented a multitude of property owners and development interests, the decision was made to proceed with the planning process for Sunriver as an Urban Unincorporated Community. It was the consensus of the committee that the provisions allotted for Urban Unincorporated Communities under the rule offered the greatest practical degree of flexibility for future growth and development in Sunriver. Subsection OAR 660.22.010(8) defines “Urban Unincorporated Community” as “[a]n unincorporated community that has the following characteristics: Includes at least 150 Permanent dwelling units including manufactured homes; Contains a mixture of land uses, including three or more public, commercial or industrial land uses; Includes areas served by a community sewer system; and, Includes areas served by a community water system. Sunriver met the definition because it historically included land developed with a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Sunriver utilities operate both a community sewer and water system which serve the existing development. Sunriver has its own fire and police departments and also essential services, such as an elementary school. The Comprehensive Plan designated Sunriver as an Urban Unincorporated Community, enabling it to plan for future growth and development. Location and History Sunriver is located in the central portion of Deschutes County, approximately 15 miles south of Bend. Sunriver lies in the Upper Deschutes River Basin, with the Deschutes River generally forming the western boundary of the community. Sunriver includes approximately 3,745 acres which are bounded by the Deschutes National Forest on the east, west and north sides. Small lot residential subdivision development and destination resorts are the predominant land uses to the south of the community boundary. Development of Sunriver began in 1967 and the first subdivision plat within Sunriver was filed in 1968. Development in Sunriver began during a period of time when the unincorporated areas of Deschutes County were not zoned. In 1972, when the County first adopted a zoning ordinance (PL-5) and Comprehensive Plan, the area identified as Sunriver was zoned A-1-T and designated “planned development” on the Comprehensive Plan map. In 1973, a zone change to planned development (PD) was applied for and granted. As part of the zone change application, a “Master Plan” was developed. The Master Plan consisted of a map showing the proposed Section 4.4 Sunriver Section 4.4 Sunriver Section 4.4 Sunriver Section 4.4 Sunriver Page 169 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 13 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY development of Sunriver. The original area of Sunriver encompassed approximately 5,500 acres. Development occurred in accordance with the PD Zone of PL-5 and the density of development was determined to be 1.5 units per acre overall. In 1977 approximately 2,200 acres of property originally contemplated for development as part of Sunriver were sold to the U.S. Forest Service. Following the sale, a revised Master Plan for Sunriver Phase II was prepared for its undeveloped portion. In October 1978 the County approved the revised Sunriver Phase II Master Plan with the same PD Zoning designation. In 1980 after a land use application submitted for development within Sunriver generated controversy, the viability of the Sunriver Master Plan was called into question. This was compounded by the fact that PL-15, the County Zoning Ordinance adopted in 1979 to replace PL-5, did not include any provisions for “planned communities.” As a result, the developer of Sunriver agreed to develop a Planned Community (PC) zoning ordinance text and new Master Plan for Sunriver subject to County review and approval. In November 1982, the County amended PL-15 to add a section providing for the Planned Community (PC) Zone, including seven separate Sunriver district designations. A new Sunriver Master Plan was also approved. Between 1982 and 1997 the PC Zoning Ordinance Text and Master Plan remained relatively unchanged and were the guiding documents for the majority of development. In 1997 the 1982 Master Plan was repealed by Ordinance 97-076 and replaced by comprehensive plan findings and policies for the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community. The Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community zoning districts were adopted at this time and multi-family residential development was allowed in the Commercial District. In 2008 amendments were made to the Sunriver comprehensive plan and zoning text to provide guidelines for restructuring the core commercial area of Sunriver. This was done through the creation of a new Town Center District. As of 2010 the Town Center District had not been applied to any actual property. Population and Growth 2010 County GIS data showed Sunriver having 4,138 residential tax lots. Of those lots 3,182 were developed with single-family homes and 774 with condominiums. 182 residential lots were vacant. While the number of residential lots within the community can be determined with some degree of accuracy, the current and future rate of population growth is difficult to estimate due to the large number of vacation and second homes. The Sunriver Owners Association estimates the number of homes with permanent residents at 475, based on the number of owners who have the Sunriver Scene delivered to a Sunriver zip code. They further suppose that approximately 1,500 housing units are short term rentals, which leaves about half the homes in Sunriver vacant for extended periods of time. The Deschutes County 2004 Coordinated Population Forecast estimates 1.9 persons/household, a number that was adjusted to account for the number of second homes in the County. Using the estimate of 475 full-time dwellings, that suggests a permanent population of around 900 persons. During the peak tourist months of July and August, the majority of dwellings are occupied with owners and tourists. The Sunriver Owners Association estimates the peak population at between 8,000 and 12,000. Thus, there is a fluctuating population comprised of both year-round and part-time residents as well as tourists. Page 170 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 14 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY Community Boundary 2010 County GIS data showed Sunriver had approximately 3,745 acres of land inside the community boundary. Within this area, there were 4,447 total tax lots, including common areas. The community boundary is generally formed by the Deschutes River on the west, Spring River Road/South Century Drive on the south and the Deschutes National Forest on the north and east. During the 1997 update, the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community boundary was amended to add 375-acres along the eastern boundary of the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community to be used for sewage effluent storage and disposal. This area, once part of the Deschutes National Forest, was changed from a comprehensive plan designation of Forest to a comprehensive plan designation of Urban Unincorporated Community Forest. It was added per Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requirements. The effluent and storage capabilities of the existing sewage system were at or near capacity seasonally at that time. Thus, this expansion of the community boundary was necessary to provide adequate sewage disposal services to the existing communities being served at their build-outs. Existing Land Uses The predominant land use in Sunriver is residential, the majority of which is single-family residential development. However, since Sunriver was originally developed as a planned community, a number of other uses exist, making it somewhat self-reliant. Uses which support the residential components include a commercial core which contains a variety of retail businesses developed in a pedestrian mall setting, as well as a business park. A large component of development in Sunriver includes resort related amenities such as golf courses, lodge, convention facilities and overnight accommodations. A fire station, police station and public works facility have also been developed to support these uses. Land bordering Sunriver on the north, east and west is zoned Forest Use (F-1) and is within the Deschutes National Forest. The National Forest land remains undeveloped and is primarily used for recreational purposes such as hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, etc. The forest lands and the recreational opportunities that they offer enhance the resort component of Sunriver. Land to the south of Sunriver includes private property which is zoned Rural Residential (RR-10). The majority of the RR-10 properties include small lot (one-half to one acre parcels) subdivisions which were created prior to any zoning laws. There are two newer developments to the south, Crosswater and Caldera Springs. Crosswater, a 600-acre pre-Goal 8 Destination Resort was approved in 1990. Caldera Springs, a 390-acre Goal 8 Destination Resort was approved in 2005. Comprehensive Plan Designations The 1997 Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan for the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community created eight comprehensive plan designations. In 2008 a ninth plan designation, the Town Center District was added to the plan. The comprehensive plan designations for the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community, except for the Town Center District which will be added at a later date if the County receives an application for such a designation, are shown on a map on the County website. Page 171 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 15 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY 1. Residential District. The Residential District designation on the Comprehensive Plan Map includes the Single Family Residential and Multiple Family Residential Districts as shown on the Zoning Map for the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community. This plan designation includes all properties which were previously designated for residential development under the previous Planned Community designation. No change to residential boundaries was made in 1997. 2. Commercial District. The majority of the land designated Commercial includes the commercial core of Sunriver which is commonly referred to as the Sunriver Village Mall. An additional Commercial District is located at the north end of the community and is developed with a grocery store and gas station. The Village Mall is developed as an outdoor pedestrian mall and includes a variety of commercial uses. Many of the existing commercial uses support the tourist component of the community and residents living within Sunriver. In 1997, this plan designation included all areas formerly designated for commercial use. When the Town Center District was added to this Plan in 2008 it was anticipated that much of the Village Mall area would be re-designated to the new district. As of 2010, that re-designation has not taken place. 3. Town Center District. The Town Center District was created in an effort to preserve and enhance the area around the commercial core of Sunriver. The objective for the Town Center District is to combine a mixture of complementary land uses that may include retail, offices, commercial services, residential housing and civic uses to create a vital commercial core that will support the tourist component of the community and residents living within Sunriver. The Town Center District is designed to strengthen the commercial core area of Sunriver as the heart of the community, to improve the community’s economic base and enhance the appearance of the area through high-quality design. 4. Resort District. In general, the Resort plan designation includes properties which are developed with amenities such as the Sunriver Lodge and Great Hall, golf courses, the equestrian and marina facilities and the nature center. These amenities have been developed to foster the recreation and tourist component of Sunriver. For the most part, this designation includes the properties which are owned and managed by Sunriver Resort. 5. Business Park District. The Sunriver Business Park lies at the southern end of the community boundary and is physically separated from the remainder of the community by Spring River Road. This plan designation was originally created to accommodate light industrial development to support the employment needs of the community and surrounding area. Since the inception of zoning regulations for this area, development has been primarily commercial in nature rather than industrial. The zoning ordinance was modified in 1997 to reflect the existing businesses and the trend for commercial development while still allowing for industrial uses to develop. 6. Community District. The Community plan designation includes properties which are primarily developed with public service uses which support all facets of the community. Development includes the fire station, elementary school, community center and corporation/public works facilities. Properties with this designation are primarily owned and administered by the Sunriver Owners Association. Page 172 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 16 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY 7. Airport District. The Airport plan designation includes areas which in 1997 were developed with airport related amenities, such as runways, hangars, fueling stations and maintenance facilities. This district also includes areas surrounding the actual airport development which are considered to be in the sphere of influence of the airport and in which airport-related impacts and risks are associated. Development in the airport district shall be limited with respect to heights of structures, public gathering places and other potential risks to persons or property related to those uses. 8. Utility District. This plan designation includes properties which in 1997 were developed with amenities such as sewage pump stations, water treatment facilities, water distribution facilities and associated utility improvements. The utility plan designation is intended to provide for the development and expansion of necessary utility facilities on properties which are already devoted to such uses. 9. Forest District. The previous boundary for Sunriver was expanded in 1997 by approximately 366-acres to include land along the eastern boundary that has historically been zoned for forest uses and within the Deschutes National Forest. A recent decision by the U.S. Forest Service to permit an effluent storage pond and effluent irrigation site on approximately 50 acres and a potential land transfer to the Sunriver Utilities Company (now Sunriver Water LLC/Environmental LLC) prompted inclusion of this area within the community boundary. By including this area, future expansion of the sewage disposal system would permit the application of biosolids with the effluent irrigation site and storage pond. This will enable Sunriver to meet Oregon Department of Environmental Quality regulations for treated wastewater storage and disposal stemming from build-out within the community. An exception to Goal 4 was not taken because the only uses allowed in the expansion area are permitted in the Forest zone. Public Facility Planning Water and Sewer The Sunriver Utilities Company was established as a private water and wastewater company and has provided water and sewer services within the community boundary since 1969. It is the largest private water/wastewater company in the State of Oregon. In June of 1998 Sunriver Utilities Company split into two separate LLC’s. Sunriver Water LLC (SRWLLC) which is under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) for rate structure and the Oregon Department of Human Services for water quality and Sunriver Environmental LLC (SRELLC) which is under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Sunriver Water and Environmental serve not just Sunriver, but also Crosswater, Caldera Springs and seven lots in Vandevert Ranch, with a build-out of 5,400 equivalent dwelling units. Water: SWLLC in 2010 operates three main wells which are capable of pumping over 7.8 million gallons of water each day. In addition, reservoir capacity for water storage is 2 million gallons. This volume of water production and storage exceeds the needs of the community within the boundaries of Sunriver. As of 2010, SRWLLC serves a total 4,307 water customers. This total includes the following types of service connections: 4,034 residential and condominium units; 147 commercial; 126 for irrigation purposes and 485 fire hydrants. All service connections are metered to measure the amount of water that is being used. The meter Page 173 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 17 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY service sizes range from typical 3/4” residential lines to 6” lines for irrigation, commercial and industrial uses. Sewer: SRELLC’s wastewater treatment facilities are capable of handling/treating an average of 1.5 million gallons of wastewater per day. This includes the 1997 expansion of effluent storage ponds on a parcel along the eastern boundary of Sunriver that is now owned by Sunriver Environmental LLC. The design and flow accommodations will facilitate build out of all 5,400 lots within the communities served. Effluent from the wastewater treatment facility is used to irrigate the golf course and hay fields. Biosolids from the wastewater facility are used with recycled yard debris and wood chips from forest thinning to make agricultural compost. In 2009 Deschutes County and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality commissioned a study by SRELLC to examine the feasibility of constructing a new treatment plant east of Sunriver to serve their current customers as well as approximately 4,000 potential new customers south of Sunriver, where there are concerns regarding nitrate contamination of groundwater from septic systems. The study concluded that such an expansion was physically and financially feasible. As of 2010 a decision regarding expansion of the Sunriver sewer system is being evaluated by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Public Services Police and Fire: In 2002 the Sunriver Service District was established to oversee the police and fire departments. A five-member board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners works with the Police and Fire chiefs to provide service to Sunriver. Sunriver’s police department is responsible for law enforcement within the boundary of the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community. Sunriver’s fire department serves all areas within the boundary of the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community, except for the Business Park. The Business Park is provided with fire protection by the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District. Through a mutual aid agreement with the Forest Service, Sunriver’s fire department also responds to wildland fires within five miles of Sunriver. Ambulance services are provided to a 360-mile area centered on Sunriver. The department has a mutual aid agreement with the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District to provide secondary services within each other's service boundaries on an as needed basis. The La Pine Rural Fire Protection District has a fire station located along South Century Drive approximately 1½ miles south of the community boundary. Schools Three Rivers Elementary School, which is under the direction of the Bend-La Pine School District, is currently the only school within the boundary of the Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community. Three Rivers Elementary offers schooling from kindergarten through 8th grade and as of 2010 had an enrollment of 396 students. The school accepts pupils from both inside and outside the boundary of the Sunriver Unincorporated Community. Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) The Sunriver Owners Association has the day-to-day responsibility of overseeing the majority of the community operations. The association is governed by a Board of Directors and a Page 174 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 18 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY General Manager. The services and departments operated by the Sunriver Owners Association, as well as the primary function of each, include: 1. Accounting Department – This department is responsible for SROA’s financial transactions including owner maintenance fees and accounts payable and receivable. It also maintains the property owners database and works with the Finance Committee on budgets and reserves. 2. Administration – The administrative offices oversee the day-to-day functions of each component of the association. 3. Communication Department – This department publishes a monthly newspaper (Sunriver Scene) that is distributed to members of the association and the public. Other duties include programming community access TV channel 4 and publishing a resident directory and map. 4. Community Development – This department works with the Design Committee to review new structures to ensure compliance with design and development standards. 5. Environmental Services – This department administers fire and fuels regulations as well as other environmental issues of the community. 6. Public Works Department – This department is responsible for maintenance of roads, recreational paths and amenities as well as fleet maintenance. 7. Recreation Department– This department offers a variety of recreational activities and programs for property owners and visitors and manages pools and tennis courts. Transportation Planning Background/Existing Transportation Facilities in Sunriver The Sunriver Urban Unincorporated Community is accessed via public roadways. These include South Century Drive and Cottonwood Road. Both of these roadways lie within public rights-of- way and are maintained by Deschutes County. South Century Drive and Cottonwood Road connect to Highway 97, which is the primary corridor for vehicular travel throughout Central Oregon. South Century Drive enters Sunriver near the southern community boundary and extends to the residentially developed areas to the south and west. Cottonwood Road enters Sunriver near the northern Sunriver boundary and ends within the community. Internal roads within Sunriver, except for Venture Lane within the Business Park, are private, open to the public, and maintained by the Sunriver Owners Association. These roads are paved and are generally 20 feet in width. Venture Lane is a public road maintained by the County. The internal roadway network was developed as part of the original design and master plan for Sunriver. The network consists of a series of internal traffic circles or roundabouts, from which spur roads lead to various areas within the community. A bicycle/pedestrian path system has been developed and integrated throughout the community. Aside from the recreational opportunities provided by the path system, the paths serve as an alternative to vehicular travel as they connect the residential, commercial, school and recreation areas of the community. The paths are paved, maintained in good condition by the Sunriver Owners Association and are used extensively. Recent Improvements Road widening improvements were completed in 1996 by the County for the segment of South Century Drive between Highway 97 and the entrance to the Sunriver Business Park. Page 175 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 19 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.4 SUNRIVER URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY Improvements to the entrance of the Business Park itself were also completed. The County’s first roundabout was constructed at the intersection of South Century/Abbot Drive in 2007. The improvements were done to improve the safety and longevity of the roadway. Other improvements to County roads outside of Sunriver, included paving and upgrading the old Forest Service 40/45 Road, now called River Summit Drive in 2006-2007 and a grade-separated interchange at South Century Drive and Highway 97 in 2008. Future Transportation Needs The existing privately maintained roads and bicycle/pedestrian paths adequately serve the travel needs of the residents and visitors of Sunriver. The existing roads and pathways provide access to all platted and developed areas within the community. There is no projected need for future roads to serve the anticipated development, except possibly within the Sunriver Business Park. Currently there is only one ingress/egress point from South Century Drive to the Business Park. Future development within the Business Park may warrant an additional entrance or improvements to the existing entrance. South Century Drive and Cottonwood Road are both operating at levels within their vehicular capacity. In the area between the entrance to the Sunriver Village Mall and the Business Park, the 2009 average daily traffic figures for South Century Drive were approximately 6,748 trips per day. This figure is below the general capacity of 9,600 trips per day. Many of the vehicles traveling this roadway are passing through the community, not necessarily to Sunriver, as this road provides a direct link from Highway 97 to the surrounding rural subdivisions. Cottonwood Road, which only extends between Highway 97 and the community boundary, is not subject to the same volume of pass through traffic that occurs on South Century Drive. Thus, the traffic figures for this roadway are much lower at approximately 3,298 trips per day in 2009.

It includes residential and commercial uses and provides for both temporary and permanent residential occupancy, including overnight lodging and accommodations. In the fall of 1994 the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted a new administrative rule, OAR 660, Division 22, entitled Unincorporated Communities. This Rule provided guidelines for defining and regulating areas with urban style growth outside of urban growth boundaries. As part of periodic review Deschutes County updated the Comprehensive Plan and implementing zoning regulations for Black Butte Ranch and the Inn/Widgi Creek to comply with the rule. Black Butte Ranch and Inn of the 7th Mountain/Widgi Creek met the definition of "resort community" because they have historically developed with a mixture of residential and recreation or resort amenities. Commercial-type uses also exist, such as the restaurant and stables. Other retail operations, such as the golf pro shops and retail sales at the tennis shop are associated with specific recreation activities and are not designed as stand alone retail operations intended by themselves to attract the traveling public to Black Butte Ranch or Inn of the 7th Mountain/Widgi Creek. Black Butte Ranch Background Black Butte Ranch is located in the northwestern portion of Deschutes County, eight miles west of the city limits of Sisters. Black Butte Ranch is in the Indian Ford Creek watershed, a tributary to Whychus Creek, itself a tributary to the Deschutes River, and is surrounded by lands within Deschutes National Forest. Since the late 1800s Black Butte Ranch has been a cattle ranch. Cattle operations continue today. Black Butte Ranch includes 1,830 acres developed in the early 1970s as a planned residential development with both permanent and vacation homes on 1,253 lots and three separate condominium areas. Recreation amenities include two 18-hole golf courses, four swimming pools, 23 tennis courts, horse stables, a sports field, basketball courts and trails for bicycling, jogging and cross country skiing. Conference rooms, a restaurant, lounge and property sales in the Main Lodge, a general store and pro shops at both golf courses provide additional amenities for residents, guests and visitors. Black Butte Ranch allows public access to its restaurant, golf courses and horse stables, but is primarily oriented to its year-round residents and seasonal guests. Black Butte Ranch is considered by many people to be a "destination resort", however development at Black Butte Ranch preceded the adoption of Statewide Goal 8 and the County's mapping of lands for the siting of destination resorts. Approximately 96 percent of the area within Black Butte Ranch community boundary is developed. Section 4.7 Resort CommunitiesSection 4.7 Resort CommunitiesSection 4.7 Resort CommunitiesSection 4.7 Resort Communities Page 183 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 27 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.7 RESORT COMMUNITIES Development of Black Butte Ranch began in 1970 and the first subdivision plat within Black Butte Ranch was filed in 1970. In 1972, when the County first adopted a zoning ordinance (PL- 5) and comprehensive plan, the area identified as Black Butte Ranch, although smaller than today, was zoned "Planned Development" and designated as a "Destination Resort" on the comprehensive plan map. In 1979 the County adopted revised zoning and comprehensive plan maps. In 1992 Black Butte Ranch was designated as a rural residential exception area on the comprehensive plan map. Black Butte Ranch was zoned Rural Residential (RR-10), and was designated "Destination Resort" on the comprehensive plan map. The population of Black Butte Ranch is difficult to ascertain due to the large number of vacation and second homes within the community that are occupied for only part of the year. In 2001, the Black Butte Ranch Association estimated the number of full-time, year-round residents at 337 persons. During the peak tourist season, the population, including guests who do not own property but are renting residences within the community, is estimated to rise to 5,000 persons. Black Butte Ranch operates both a community sewer and water system that are in place and serve the existing development. Black Butte Ranch also has its own fire and police departments. Land Use The Black Butte Ranch community boundary includes a total of 1,912 acres consisting of: 1) 1,830 acres including the main resort development, the resort's recreational amenities, and the residential areas, and 2) 82 acres located contiguous to the northwest corner used for industrial uses in support of Ranch operations. The community boundary abuts Highway 20 on the northeast. National Forest Service lands and private landholders bound it on the south and west. The predominant land use in Black Butte Ranch is residential, the majority of which is single- family residential development. However, since Black Butte Ranch was originally developed as a planned community, a number of other uses exist which make Black Butte Ranch a community that is somewhat self-reliant. Uses that support the residential components include a commercial core, which contains a variety of retail businesses developed in a pedestrian mall setting, as well as a business park. A significant component of development in Black Butte Ranch includes recreation amenities such as golf courses, and resort facilities, including a lodge, meeting facilities and a restaurant. A fire station and public works facilities for sewage treatment and water delivery have also been developed. The Black Butte Fire Department serves all areas within the boundary. Utility services will continue to be provided in the current manner. Inn of the 7th Mountain/Widgi Creek Background The Inn of the Seventh Mountain and Widgi Creek Golf community are located approximately five miles southwest of the Bend Urban Growth Boundary on Century Drive. They are both bounded by the Deschutes River to the south. The Inn of the Seventh Mountain (Inn) has been developed since the late 1960s and has historically been considered to be a stand-alone resort community with overnight lodging and recreation facilities for tourists. It has 230 condominium units, spread among 22 buildings. The initial boundary was established in 1972 and encompasses 22.65 acres. The Inn includes horse stables, tennis courts, golf course, skating rink, swimming pools and other recreation amenities, Page 184 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 28 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.7 RESORT COMMUNITIES and a restaurant, meeting rooms and multi-story lodging units for resort guests. Many of the dwelling units at the Inn are occupied seasonally but some residences are year round. Commercial uses open to overnight guests and the public include the restaurant, skating rink and golf course, guided raft trips on the Deschutes River and a retail/rental sport shop. Widgi Creek was approved in 1983 as a 237-acre expansion to the Inn and includes a golf course with surrounding residential lots consisting of 107 for single-family dwellings and 103 for condominium units. The use of the site as a destination resort was initiated previous to implementation of the statewide planning goals in Deschutes County. Upon implementation of the statewide planning goals, the property was designated as "forest" in compliance with Goal 4, and the use continued to be permitted as a destination resort. However, in 1993 HB 3661 prohibited destination resorts as a use in the forest zone except as allowed under Goal 8. This property was not approved as a destination resort pursuant to Goal 8 until the year 2001. At that time a "built and committed" exception based on Statewide Planning Goal 2 was taken for the entire Inn/Widgi community. Almost all of the residential uses at the Inn of the Seventh Mountain cater to tourist accommodations. During the peak tourist season, the population, including guests who do not own property but are renting residences within the community, is estimated to be approximately 500 people. In 2001, the number of full-time and part-time residents at Widgi Creek is approximately 120, consisting of 80 single-family residents and 39 condo residents. Since there are only four condo units available for rental, there is no significant increase in the population during the peak tourist season. As currently planned, when the development is fully built out, the population will increase to a total of 200 full-time and part-time residents distributed in 107 single-family homes and 46 condominium units.

Page 189 of 238 - Exhibit B to Ordinance 2011-003 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – 2011 33 CHAPTER 4 URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION 4.8 RURAL SERVICE CENTERS Background A Rural Service Center is characterized as an unincorporated community consisting primarily of commercial or industrial uses providing goods and services to the surrounding rural area or persons traveling through the area, but which also includes some permanent residential dwellings. In order to comply with OAR 660-022, Deschutes County updated the Comprehensive Plan and implementing zoning regulations in 2002 for the communities of Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton, Millican, Whistlestop and Wildhunt. The Comprehensive Plan and zoning map boundaries for all of the Rural Service Centers were amended to comply with the requirements of the administrative rule and to reconcile historic mapping inconsistencies between the plan designation and zoning and inconsistencies between community boundaries and historic development patterns. The predominant land uses in the areas surrounding the Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton and Millican Rural Service Centers are farming and ranching. The predominant land uses in the areas surrounding Whistlestop and Wildhunt are forest, ranching and rural residential. The unincorporated rural service centers serve the needs of the surrounding areas as well as the needs of the traveling public. Three of the communities are located on Highway 20 east of Bend; Millican is 26 miles, Brothers 42 miles and Hampton 64 miles. Alfalfa is located approximately 11 miles east of Bend on Willard Road. Whistlestop is located approximately 30 miles southwest of Bend on Burgess Road. Wildhunt is located approximately 26 miles south of Bend at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 31. The communities of Alfalfa, Brothers and Hampton have approved public water systems that serve the school and combination store/café/post office in Brothers and the stores in Alfalfa and Hampton. The Central Oregon Irrigation District provides water for agricultural uses surrounding Alfalfa. Large ranches and BLM land surround Millican, Brothers and Hampton. Most of the land is used for dry land grazing. Well water provides irrigation for land adjacent to Hampton. Millican, Brothers and Hampton are surrounded by land that is designated as antelope habitat. The area surrounding these communities is sparsely populated. Each community has a few residences within its boundary. Community Boundaries The Alfalfa Rural Service Center boundary includes 21.83 acres, with Willard Road as the predominant northern boundary and the remainder surrounded by agricultural lands zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). The Brothers Rural Service Center boundary includes 48.95 acres. Highway 20 bisects the community from east to west, while Camp Creek Road enters from the north and connects with the highway. The entire community is surrounded by agricultural land zoned EFU. The Hampton Rural Service Center boundary includes 35.37 acres. Highway 20 forms the southern boundary with the remainder surrounded by agricultural lands zoned EFU. The Millican Rural Service Center boundary includes 29.55 acres. Highway 20 forms the northern boundary with the remainder surrounded by agricultural lands zoned EFU.

Burgess Road runs east/west and dissects the community from north to south with forest and rural residential uses to the north and east. The Wildhunt Rural Service Center boundary includes 11.29 acres. Highway 97 forms the western boundary. Highway 31 forms the southern boundary, with forest and rural residential uses to the north and east. Land Use Planning The existing land uses in the eastern Rural Service Centers of Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton and Millican are commercial and residential, surrounded by agriculture. In addition to a few residences each of the communities includes commercial development. Alfalfa has a store/gas station and a church/community hall. Brothers includes a school, a combination market/café/post office/gas station, a state highway maintenance field office, and a highway rest area. Hampton has a café and recreational vehicle park. Millican has a market/gas station. The existing land uses in the rural Service Centers of Whistlestop and Wildhunt are commercial and residential, surrounded by forest.

Policy 4.8.1 Land use regulations shall conform to the requirements of OAR 660, Division 22 or any successor. Policy 4.8.2 Rural Service Center zoning shall be applied to Alfalfa and Brothers and shall consist of three districts: Commercial/Mixed Use; Residential; and Open Space. Policy 4.8.3 Rural Service Center zoning shall be applied to Hampton, Whistlestop and Wildhunt and shall consist of a single Commercial/Mixed Use District. Policy 4.8.4 The area in the Brothers Rural Service Center Boundary that is north of Highway 20 and east of Camp Creek Road shall be zoned as Rural Service Center - Open Space District (RSC-OS). Policy 4.8.5 In April 2002, Alfalfa area residents expressed a desire to keep the community “the way it is” and to limit commercial activity to 2-acres south of Willard Road that is the site of the Alfalfa Community Store and the community water system. These two acres are designated as a mixed used commercial district in the Comprehensive Plan and shall be zoned mixed use commercial. The remaining 20 acres of the Rural Service Center will continue to be zoned Rural Service Center – Residential District, with a 5-acre minimum lot size. Since the Board of County Commissioners finds it may be necessary to accommodate the need for future commercial expansion 2 acres north of Willard Road are being designated on the Comprehensive Plan for future commercial uses. A zone change to mixed use commercial can be considered only for a specific use and upon findings that the existing commercial area is fully developed. Policy 4.8.6 County Comprehensive Plan policies and land use regulations shall ensure that new uses authorized within the Alfalfa, Brothers, Hampton, Millican, Whistlestop and Wildhunt Rural Service Centers do not adversely affect agricultural and forest uses in the surrounding areas. Policy 4.8.7 Zoning in the area shall promote the maintenance of the area’s rural character. New commercial uses shall be limited to small-scale, low impact uses that are intended to serve the community and surrounding rural area or the travel needs of people passing through the area. The commercial/mixed use zoning regulations shall allow a mixed use of residential or small-scale commercial uses. Policy 4.9.8 Residential and commercial uses shall be served by DEQ approved on-site sewage disposal systems. Policy 4.8.9 Residential and commercial uses shall be served by onsite wells or public water systems. Policy 4.8.10 Community water systems, motels, hotels and industrial uses shall not be allowed.
