1 1A,trooi u.cti,o in,
The Terrebonne Community Plan (Community Plan) is an integral part of the Deschutes
County Comprehensive Plan and upon adoption by the Board of County Commissioners,
constitutes an official chapter. It can only be changed if the Community Plan goes through an
official legislative plan amendment process. The Community Plan's goals and policies provide a
guide to decision making for land use planning, capital improvements, and physical development
during the next 20 years (2010 — 2030). It is anticipated that Deschutes County, Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT), special districts, residents, and community leaders will
consult the Community Plan when preparing land use or transportation projects in
Terrebonne.
Terrebonne is a small rural community at the northern edge of Deschutes County. Founded as
a railroad town in 1909, Terrebonne contains residential neighborhoods, a community school, a
commercial expansion area and two commercial business districts, one fronting U.S. Highway
97 (U.S. 97) and the other abutting I Ith Street.. Existing land use and transportation patterns
justify the need for a Community Plan. State statute by definition recognizes Terrebonne as a
"Rural Community" because it is a longstanding rural service center. Although this Community
Plan only addresses the area within the boundaries of Terrebonne, nearby residents and visitors
utilize its services given the proximity to U.S. 97, local businesses, Terrebonne Community
School, and Smith Rock State Park.
Terrebonne Community School, which is within the
Redmond School District, draws 400 students spanning
kindergarten through 861 grade. The school's geographic
area in addition to Terrebonne covers Crooked River
Ranch in Jefferson County, the east side of Smith Rock State
Park, and the north side of Cinder Butte, just north of
Redmond.

Smith Rock State Park lies three miles east of
Terrebonne, encompassing 65 I acres on the
Oregon high desert plateau. The park which hovers
around 3000 feet in elevation, provides a sanctuary
of majestic rock spires overlooking the scenic
Crooked River Canyon. Containing hundreds of
climbing routes, it is an international destination for rock climbers. In addition, the park offers
year-round camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching.

Terrebonne residents set forth this vision with the intent that the
Community Plan, developed in cooperation with Deschutes
County, shall serve as a framework to realize it.
Maintain the livability of Terrebonne as a small town with its rural and
scenic character, by encouraging efficient services and safe traveling
throughout the community.
This vision statement is created to ensure that with vigilance and
foresight, the unique rural character of Terrebonne can be
maintained and enjoyed by present and future generations over
the next twenty years.

Located on the Oregon Trunk Railroad, Terrebonne was
originally called Hillman for railroad magnates James Hill
and E. H. Harriman, who famously competed to finish a rail
line from the mouth of the Deschutes River to Bend in the
early I 900s. As news of the Hillman Plat spread across the
United States, people speculated and blindly purchased
property. A few individuals never actually claimed their
lots, while others came to discover that the promises of
fertile agricultural land were embellished.
One persistent story regarding the original town site concerns a developer
who reportedly sold the same lots, including some that were unbuildable, to
several different buyers. When disgruntled buyers caught up with the
developer, he was run out of town. As news of this land fraud spread
across the country, the residents of Hillman decided to change the name of
their town site to improve its reputation. They held a meeting and selected
the name "Terrebonne," which means "good earth" in French.
As Terrebonne grew and prospered earlier last century, it
boasted a hotel, newspaper, livery stable, bank, blacksmith
shop, meat market, realty company, grange hall, school,
general stores, barber shops, various feed stores, and
churches. Today, legacy buildings from the community of
Hillamn include the original Hillman town site platted in
1909 and three historical buildings: Ladies Pioneer Club
(1911), Oregon Trunk Railroad Depot (191 I) and Grange
Hall (1925).
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
La wd Lts e
The 1979 Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan designated
Terrebonne a Rural Service Center (RSC). Comprising 667 acres and
577 tax Tots, the 1979 Terrebonne RSC boundary included the Hillman
Plat, excluding the portion east of the Oregon Trunk Railroad tracks.
The boundary encompassed the area south of the Hillman Plat known
as the Circle "C" Acres Subdivision, which occupies land located south
of Odem Avenue. The 1979 Terrebonne RSC boundary also included
land in the north one-quarter of Section 16, Township 1 4S, Range 13E,
north of the Hillman Plat.
In 1994, the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted Oregon
Administrative Rule for unincorporated communities, instituting new land use requirements for
Terrebonne (OAR 660, Division 22). As part of periodic review, in 1997 Deschutes County
updated its Comprehensive Plan and implemented zoning regulations to comply with the state
requirements. Terrebonne's boundary was expanded to include the portion of the old Hillman
Plat east of the railroad tracks. Additionally, at the request of Circle "C" Acres Subdivision
residents, the boundary excluded their entire subdivision.
Population
Single-family residences are the predominant land use in Terrebonne. Tables 1, 2 and 3 cite
Deschutes County Assessor data and an adopted twenty year population forecast to estimate
Terrebonne's 2009, 2030, and future build out population.

Land Use Designations and Inventory
Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan designations illustrate general land uses for Terrebonne
and provide the legal framework for establishing zoning districts. Zoning regulates land uses
that are allowed in each respective district. Table 4 lists Terrebonne comprehensive plan
designations and corresponding zoning districts, while Table 5 summarizes the existing land use
inventory by district.

Described below in greater detail are Terrebonne's Comprehensive Plan designations.
Residential: A "Residential" designation pertains to properties served
by community water systems and encompass Tots ranging from .5 to 5
acre. The designation corresponds with the boundary of the old
Hillman Plat.
Residential 5 Acre Minimum: A "Residential 5 Acre Minimum"
designation pertains to properties five acres or greater. These
designations are located to the north and south of the Hillman Plat. They
maintain the rural character of Terrebonne by retaining large Tots in areas
where community water is unavailable.
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN — 2010 TO 2030
Commercial Business District: A "Commercial Business District"
designation represent existing and non -conforming commercial
uses located on the east side of U.S. 97, south of B Avenue near
the U.S. 97 intersection, and both sides of 1 I th Street. The
designation promotes pedestrian -friendly commercial centers,
while discouraging highway strip -commercial development.
Commercial Expansion Area: A "Commercial Expansion Area"
designation as name suggests, represents an area for future
commercial center expansion. Located east of I I th Street, bound
by C and A Avenues, it encourages a connected road network
with pedestrian access, away from U.S. 97 to discourage strip -
commercial development.
Rural Commercial: A "Rural Commercial" designation represents legal non -conforming, small-
scale truck and heavy equipment uses, not generally compatible with a pedestrian -friendly
commercial center. When this designation and corresponding zoning districts were applied
during the 1997 Comprehensive Plan update, they provided existing businesses with an
opportunity that did not exist before: opportunities to initiate site plan and conditional use
permits for subsequent expansions or changes of use.

Terrebonne is served by four special districts: 1) Terrebonne Domestic Water District; 2)
Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District #1 ; 3) Redmond School District; and, 4)
Central Oregon Irrigation District. Terrebonne public facilities and services are described
below in greater detail.
Domestic Water
The Terrebonne Domestic Water District (Water District) is a
municipal corporation that currently serves approximately 525
residences and 25 businesses located in the densely populated
areas of Terrebonne, including the old Hillman Plat and Angus
Acres Subdivision. The Water District currently utilizes three
wells. Groundwater beneath Terrebonne does not currently
exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum
contaminant limits. The Oregon Public Health Division and
Deschutes County therefore do not require the Water District to treat
Water District is however, required to purchase groundwater mitigation
supply because the Oregon Water Resources Department identifies Terrebonne as a
groundwater critical area.

The
credits for its water
Deschutes County and the Water District
have a strong track record for coordinating
land use. Last decade, the Water District's
board of directors recognized the importance
of improving their antiquated water system
both for fire protection and domestic use.
State law requires that Deschutes County
enter into an agreement with the Water
District for coordinated review and administration of land use in the their service area (OAR
Chapter 660-22, Unincorporated Communities). Deschutes County approved a Community
Development Block Grant and state technical assistance grant with the Water District's
support in 1993 to develop an updated water system master plan for a 25 -year planning
horizon. The Water District, with assistance from Deschutes County also received an Oregon
Economic Development grant in 1997 to construct priority one improvements to their water
system. Two years later the Water District received a loan package to construct further
improvements.
Terrebonne residents living outside the Water District rely on private domestic wells for
drinking water. State law, ORS 537.54 exempts private wells as long as domestic consumption
is less than 15,000 gallons per day and irrigation of a lawn or noncommercial garden is less than
one-half acre.
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030

Wastewater
With the exception of Angus Acres and Terrebonne Estates
Subdivisions, which are served by community wastewater
treatment facilities, Terrebonne residents and businesses rely
on onsite wastewater treatment systems. However, certain
areas near the Hillman Plat rest on a rocky plateau, making
onsite systems inoperable. The soils are shallow — most no
deeper than 18 inches — such that a standard septic system
becomes infeasible. Alternative systems and advanced onsite treatment systems in these
circumstances are necessary for building additions or new development. A few properties in
Terrebonne also do not meet the requirements for an onsite system because they are too
small, under a 03 acre or contain rapidly draining soils. As a result these tax lots cannot be
developed or redeveloped. Deschutes County's Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations
restrict the type and intensity of allowed uses to those that can be served by an approved
onsite wastewater treatment system. State and County zoning regulations set minimum lot
sizes to ensure that onsite systems do not exceed the capacity of the land.
The Water District did receive a grant from the Central Oregon Rural Investment Fund to
complete a sewer feasibility study in 1999. The Water District however, never implemented
the study due to lack of funding. To date, Terrebonne residents have not reached consensus
about the need for a sewer system. While some citizens recognize its importance, both to
protect public health and water quality, and to allow development at desired densities, others
express an unwillingness to pay for the added cost of operating and maintaining a centralized
wastewater treatment system.
Emergency Services
The Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District #1
(Fire District) contracts with the City of Redmond for fire
suppression and emergency medical services. This is a
healthy partnership, which allows both entities to provide
services beyond what would be accomplished
independently. Station 402 is located on C Avenue in
Terrebonne. All Fire District career staff maintain a
paramedic level certification. Each fire or ambulance
response is staffed by paramedics, who provide advanced life support care and

Established in 1918, the Central Oregon Irrigation District
(COID) is a municipal corporation of the State of Oregon. The
Pilot Butte Canal, one of COID's two, runs north, through Bend,
Redmond and Terrebonne. Approximately 83 patrons, residents
in Terrebonne owning and receiving irrigated water from COID,
irrigate a total of 154.64 acres spanning 83 tax Tots.
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
Transportation
Terrebonne depends on the ability of the local and state
transportation system to provide safe access to residential and
commercial areas and the Terrebonne Community School,
while maintaining an efficient regional route carrying travelers
and freight through the Central Oregon region. U.S. 97 in
Terrebonne contains two travel lanes and a center turn lane
with adjoining sidewalks. The other major east -west roads are
Smith Rock Way, a County arterial which runs east from U.S. 97
at the south end of town, and Lower Bridge Way, a County arterial which extends to the west
of U.S. 97 at the north end of town. For north -south travel there is 19th Street, a County
collector on the western edge of Terrebonne, and I I th Street, which parallels U.S. 97 a block to
the east of the highway. Within the community, there are a mix of paved and unpaved streets.
In 2008, average daily traffic (ADT) counts measured the following vehicles:
• A Avenue and U.S. 97 recorded 16,600 ADT;
• U.S. 97 at the Jefferson and Deschutes County line recorded 12,500 ADT;
• North of O'Neil Highway recorded 8,500 ADT;
• Lower Bridge Way, just west of U.S. 97 recorded 5,288 ADT; and,
• Smith Rock Way jus west of the railroad tracks, recorded 2,373 ADT.
To protect the function of a highway, it is often necessary
to limit access and control turning movements. Access
control, which normally limits the number of driveways to
a state highway, reduces the conflict points where vehicles
turning or passing through can collide. By redirecting
property access to side streets or alleys, the number of
crashes on the highway can be lowered. Implementing
additional measures such as traffic calming, improved pedestrian crossings, or reducing the
travel speed on the highway can benefit an entire community.

Residents outside of Terrebonne identify with the community because it is where many certain
buy goods and services, send their children to Terrebonne Community School, or attend
church. The following Comprehensive Plan designations and related zone districts are within a
mile of Terrebonne.
Agriculture
An "Agricultural" designation and EFU zone protects
farmlands lands in Deschutes County pursuant to Statewide
Planning Goal 3 (Agricultural Lands). As discussed in the
Agricultural Lands Section of the Comprehensive Plan,
protecting agriculture is one of the primary goals of the
Oregon land use system. When the County Comprehensive
Plan was first adopted in 1979, there was general consensus
for its agricultural goal.
"To preserve agricultural land in Deschutes County for the production of farm and
forestry products, as well as the public need for open space."
subzone,
In 1992, Deschutes County completed a farm study report.
The purpose of the study was to ensure that EFU zoning
and standards for farm divisions and dwellings were
consistent with Goal 3 and relevant administrative rules.
The study found that farms in Deschutes County usually
contain a mix of irrigated and non -irrigated land, as well as a
soils from different classes. The study identified seven
agricultural subzones with one near Terrebonne. For each
standards determine minimum parcel sizes for farm divisions to protect the
commercial agricultural land base. The subzone that is immediately adjacent to Terrebonne is
the EFU - Terrebonne subzone (EFUTE). The minimum acreage for this subzone is 35 irrigated
acres. Refer to the Agricultural Lands section of the Comprehensive Plan for more details
about agricultural land in Deschutes County.
Rural Residential
A "Rural Residential Exception Area" designation and
corresponding Multiple Use Agriculture (MUA-I0) and Rural
Residential (RR -10) zones applies to lands for which Deschutes
County justified an "exception" to Statewide Planning Goal 3
(Agricultural Land). MUA-I0 applies to agricultural lands that
have been demonstrated to be unsuitable for commercial
farming but retain enough agricultural practices that are
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
compatible with rural development. The minimum lot size for new subdivisions in this zoning
district is ten acres. Although Terrebonne does not include this zoning district, three MUA-I0
subdivisions are within a mile of the boundary. The RR-10 zone is intended to provide areas for
residential use in a rural context along with other compatible uses. This zone is directly south
of Terrebonne and applies to the Circle "C" Subdivision. The minimum lot size for new
subdivisions in this zoning district is ten acres, but all existing lots near Terrebonne are much
smaller. Therefore, no additional subdivisions are possible. A number of residents in this
subdivision and within Terrebonne believe that maintaining the larger parcel sizes helps create
the rural atmosphere they value.

Community Planning Process
At the request of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, the Community
Development Department in 2008 engaged Terrebonne residents in the Comprehensive Plan
Update process. Staff began that process in the fall, with the first of four community meetings
in Terrebonne. These meetings provided opportunities to meet with residents and
stakeholders, answer questions, and explain Oregon land use planning and Deschutes County's
existing Comprehensive Plan. In February 2009 at the second meeting, staff asked residents if
they supported the creation of a Community Plan and if so, to describe their land use values
and expectations for the area. They introduced the following issues:
• Piecemeal development is not furthering the community's overall rural values;
• Continue preserving agricultural lands near Terrebonne;
• Maintain Terrebonne's rural character;
• Water and sewer limitations affect the community's ability to accommodate growth;
• Allow commercial upzoning on the west side of U.S. 97;
• Create a park in Terrebonne;
• Expand Terrebonne's community boundary to include an adjacent residential area; and
• Consider several transportation alternatives to accommodate traffic volumes and promote
vehicle safety for U.S. 97, including a traffic signal, a couplet for south and north bound traffic,
a grade separation interchange near Lower Bridge Way or a bypass to the east.
A stakeholder group of Terrebonne residents was subsequently established
in Spring 2009 to discuss with staff a Community Plan that would encompass
land use opportunities over the next twenty years. This group met three
times. The purpose was to strategize the format of future community
meetings and discuss existing conditions, alternatives for the area and
community sentiment. These meetings were beneficial to staff for ultimately
presenting growth related options to Terrebonne residents and business
owners.
The issues highlighted above were discussed in small groups during a Fall 2009 community
meeting, using several different planning stations. Each station allowed area residents and business
owners to ask questions and share ideas or insights. Participants could place a dot on a board
showing their preferred land use option, and fill out a questionnaire that most reflected their
values for Terrebonne over next 20 years. The outcome of these public involvement techniques
revealed, qualitatively, an overwhelming desire for little or no change in Terrebonne.
TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
18
The basis for developing goals and policies cited in this Community Plan are now described
below in greater detail. Planning for growth and preparing for its impact represents the best
course of action to maintain the unique rural character of Terrebonne.
Community Character and Features
Agricultural activity and open spaces define Terrebonne.
Residents dearly stated the importance of maintaining the
area's agricultural land base and open spaces. The Community
Plan emphasizes the importance of protecting natural features
such as ridgelines, and views of the Cascade Mountains and
Smith Rock State Park, while supporting opportunities for
rural development.
Residential Development
Residential development is likely to increase in Terrebonne over
the next twenty years due to Central Oregon's reputation as a
desirable place to live and conduct business. While residents
expressed concerns that new development could change the
rural character of Terrebonne, planning for housing and
infrastructure will enable the community to understand its costs
and respond proactively to changing circumstances. Land use
planning implemented through Deschutes County policies and
zoning will enable residents, stakeholders, and property owners to integrate the large number
of vacant residential Tots into the community.
Commercial Development
Terrebonne residents support locally owned
businesses and share a common value that future
commercial development be modest in scale,
incorporating exterior designs used by newer
businesses adjoining U.S. 97. Based on a 2009
buildable land inventory, at the present time there is 1
not a need for additional commercial or light industrial
land. Of the 84 commercially zoned properties in Terrebonne, just 49 are developed. Thirty
of the 49 developed Tots contain single family dwellings. Single family dwellings existing on June
4, 1997 are a permitted use in Terrebonne's two commercial zones. Lastly, while legal
nonconforming commercial uses located in a residential zone straddle the west side of U.S. 97,
there is support to ensure that Deschutes County's comprehensive plan designation and zoning
accurately reflects the current land use.
19 TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
Recreational Development
Terrebonne residents support recreational programs for all age groups
including seniors and school -aged children. Creating Terrebonne's first
community park including ball fields and play structures is important
and would be an extraordinary asset. While some expressed a desire
to rezone residential lands along the west side of U.S. 97 to
commercial, others support the concept of redesignating those
properties for a greenway.
Traffic and Circulation
As noted earlier, the transportation system in Terrebonne is dominated by U.S. 97, a state
highway that bisects the commercial core of town. Traffic is a major issue for Terrebonne
residents because the highway traffic volume creates unsafe pedestrian areas and long delays for
vehicles entering U.S. 97 from the side streets, especially turning north from Lower Bridge Way
or south from Smith Rock Way. Deschutes County and ODOT are currently working to
address the needs of Terrebonne to maintain safe and convenient uses of the transportation
system. A 2009 paving project by ODOT added sidewalks and bike lanes to U.S. 97 and
sidewalks on the north side of B Avenue leading to the Terrebonne Community School.
Regarding county roads, residents expressed concerns about vehicle speeds, particularly on 19th
Street and Smith Rock Way. Additionally there are challenges associated with the lack of paved
streets, secondary access for Crooked River Ranch, and poor sightlines at 19`h, 31", and 43rd
streets, where they intersect Lower Bridge Way. The list below further summarizes
Terrebonne's transportation issues:
Local road network:
• Maintain existing roads;
• Provide sidewalks only where they are warranted for safety; and,
• Protect utility trenches located in the public right-of-way from damage by tree roots.
Appropriate local road standards:
• Provide transportation facilities that are practical and cost effective to construct, use and
maintain.
U.S. 97 corridor:
• Slow traffic on U.S. 97;
• Provide safe, convenient pedestrian crossings on the highway near the school;
• Reduce misuse of the center turn lane; and,
• Redesign U.S. 97 intersections to balance the needs of truck and pedestrian traffic,
particularly at the "8" Avenue, "C" Avenue and I I t, Street intersections.

boa t,s a vi . PoLLcLes
The following goals and policies were developed from community and stakeholder meetings,
and input from ODOT and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development.
Staff also revisited Deschutes County's existing Comprehensive and Transportation System
Plans, as well as applicable state law and administrative rules.
Land Use Goal

are intended to serve the community, surrounding rural area or travel needs of people
passing through the area.
21 TERREBONNE COMMUNITY PLAN - 2010 TO 2030
12. Prohibit industrial uses from dominating the character of the commercial districts.
13. Encourage new development in the commercial districts to become compatible with the
rural character of the community by using design standards.
14. Prohibit access to be taken from U.S. 97 when there is an option to use a local road.
15. Structure approval standards for conditional uses in the Commercial Rural District to consider
the impact on nearby residential and commercial uses, transportation systems, and other public
facilities and services.
16. Allow stand-alone residential uses or residences in conjunction with uses listed in the
commercial districts as long as they do not dominate or set development standards for
other uses in the area.
17. Prohibit land divisions or replatting for residential purposes in the commercial districts.
18. Prohibit livestock in the commercial districts.
Commercial Expansion Area Policies
I9. Support applicant -initiated commercial plan designation and rezoning applications for
properties fronting U.S. 97 between B and Central Avenues to expand commercial uses
on the west side of U.S. 97 if all of the following characteristics are met.
a. A home occupation or commercial use existed prior to the adoption date of this plan;
b. Frontage existed on U.S. 97 prior to the adoption date of this plan; and
c. ODOT grants access or there is alternative access to a public maintained road.
20. Expand commercial designations only to the Commercial Expansion Area designated on
the Terrebonne Comprehensive Plan map, except under the circumstances described in
Policy 19.
21. Rezone the Commercial Expansion Area from a residential district to a commercial
district only if no commercially zoned land can reasonable accommodate the proposed
use. Rezoning may be done without a plan amendment. An applicant for a zone change
must demonstrate that:
a. Road right-of-way improvements and public water facilities to the property are in
place or will be in place when the development occurs; or
b. Road right of way improvements and public water facilities to the property are
under construction when a permit is issued; or
c. Road right of way improvements and public water facilities to the property have
been in a local government or special district budget.
These standards apply in place of the County standards for rezoning contained in Title 18,
section 18.136.020 of the Deschutes County Code.

The Terrebonne transportation plan is based on conventional road functional classifications
arterial, collector and local roads. It establishes development standards appropriate to ach type of
road. The design of arterial and collector roads gives priority to through traffic rather than access to
adjacent land uses. On local roads the emphasis is on access to adjacent land uses.

development of vacant properties. The transportation corridors depicted on Map D2 take
advantage of existing public rights of way, where they exist. It, will be important to
preserve the existing road rights of way. Where there are gaps in the existing network of
public right of way, the County will need to secure 60 foot rights of way along the future
transportation corridors.

They are also warranted in the Commercial District to provide safe places for people to

Highway 97 from Central Avenue south to 1 Street for pedestrian safety and
convenience.
Sidewalks are usually separated from the roadway by a curb and gutter, which function
as part of the storm drain system. Terrebonne does not have a storm drain system. Curbs
are not necessary for drainage control until densities reach four units per acre. The highest

communities in the rural County. The urban standards required 36 feet of pavement, with curb
necessary in Terrebonne. Few of the existing roads in Terrebonne meet this standard. The cost
per lineal foot to build to this standard prohibited local residents from forming Local
Improvement Districts (LIDs) to improve local roads. In addition, people resisted the urban
road profile because it did not fit with the community's preference for a rural appearance.

These road standards are intended to decrease the cost of road improvements and to remove
barriers to the formation of LIDS for improving local roads.
There are sound traffic engineering principles that support reduced road standards. The
However, the road development standards applied in the rural County arc not adequate to serve
the densities and variety of uses found in Terrebonne. Businesses, a school, a post office and
other uses generate many local trips, more than generally found in the rural County.

FINDINGS
The Deschutes County Planning Commission (Planning Commission) held a public
hearing on April 8, 2010 on Ordinance 2010-012 to consider legislative plan
amendments to Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapter 23.40.030, Terrebonne Rural
Community.' The Planning Commission closed the hearing on May 13 and forwarded a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners on June 10. The Board held a
public hearing on July 19, 2010 and continued the hearing for written testimony only
until August 2 at 5:00 p.m.
BACKGROUND
At the request of the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, the Community
Development Department was asked in 2008 to engage Terrebonne residents in the
Comprehensive Plan Update process. Staff began that process in the fall, with the first
of four community meetings in Terrebonne. These meetings provided opportunities to
meet with residents and stakeholders, answer questions, and explain Oregon land use
planning and Deschutes County's existing Comprehensive Plan. In February 2009 at
the second meeting, staff asked Terrebonne residents if they supported the creation o1
a Community Plan and if so, to describe their land use values and expectations for the
area.
A stakeholder group of Terrebonne residents was subsequently established in Spring
2009 to discuss with staff a Terrebonne Community Plan (Community Plan) that would
encompass land use challenges and opportunities for the future of Terrebonne. This
group met three times. The purpose was to strategize the format of future community
meetings by discussing existing conditions, alternatives for the area and understanding
corrimunity sentiment. These meetings were beneficial to staff for ultimately presenting
growth related options to area residents and business owners.
Growth management concepts were discussed in small groups during a Fall 2009
community meeting, using planning stations around a meeting hall. Each statior
allowed area residents and business owners to ask questions and share with planner;
any ideas or insights. Participants could also place a dot on a board showing thei'
preferred land use option, and fill out a questionnaire that most reflected their values fo

the next 20 years in Terrebonne. The outcome of these public involvement techniques
revealed, qualitatively, an overwhelming desire for little or no change in Terrebonne.
PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT
Staff proposed plan amendments that create a Terrebonne Community Plan
(Community Plan). The proposed amendments are described in the attached exhibits.
Deleted language is shown as strikethrough.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Deschutes County Planning Commission on June 10 deliberated and
recommended that the Board adopt the above referenced ordinance, with one
refinement:
Commercial Expansion Area Policies
19. Support applicant -initiated commercial plan designation and rezoning applications
for properties fronting U.S. 97 between B and Central Avenues to expand
commercial uses on the west side of U.S. 97 if all of the following characteristics
are met.
a. A home occupation or commercial use existed prior to the adoption date of this
plan;
b. Frontage existed on U.S. 97 prior to the adoption date of this plan; and
c. ODOT grants access or there is alternative access to a public maintained road.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Ordinance 2010-012 is proposed for adoption. It codifies a Community Plan that
represents an integral part of the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan. When it is
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (Board), the Community Plan will
constitute an official chapter. Its goals and policies provide a planning guide to decision
making in regard to land use, capital improvements and physical development during
the next 20 years (2010 — 2030). It is anticipated that Deschutes County, Oregor.
Department of Transportation, special districts, residents and community leaders will
consult the Community Plan when preparing land use projects in Terrebonne. Once
adopted, the Community Plan will only be changed if it goes through an official
legislative plan amendment process.
Deschutes County lacks specific criteria in DCC Titles 18, 22, or 23 for reviewing
legislative plan amendment. Nonetheless, because this is a Deschutes County initiatec
plan amendment, the County bears the responsibility for justifying that the amendment:
are consistent with the statewide planning goals and Deschutes County':
Comprehensive Plan.
PAGE 2 OF 10 - EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2010-012
FINDINGS
1. Statewide Planning Goals
The parameters for evaluating these specific amendments are based on an adequate
factual base and supportive evidence demonstrating consistency with Statewide
Planning Goals. The following findings demonstrate that Ordinance 2010-027 complies
with applicable statewide planning goals and state law.
• Goal 1, Citizen Involvement is met through this adoption process because these
amendments will receive two public hearings, one before the County Planning
Commission (County's citizen review board for land use matter) and one before the
Board.
• Goal 2, Land Use Planning is met because ORS 197.610 allows local governments
to initiate post acknowledgments amendments. An Oregon Land Conservation and
Development Department 45 -day notice was initiated on June 6.2 An adequate
factual basis and documented analysis is provided for this plan update.
• Goal 3, Agricultural Lands and Goal 4, Forest Lands are not applicable because
in 1997 during periodic review, Deschutes County updated its Comprehensive Plan
and implemented regulations for Terrebonne to comply with Oregon Administrative
Rules 660, Division 22, Unincorporated Communities. Terrebonne's unincorporated
boundary and comprehensive plan designations remain intact. There are no
agricultural or forest designated lands within the community boundary.
• Goal 5, Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces
Historic Resources
Historic resources is met through existing County policy and regulations. There is
one designated historic site, whose historic status remain intact. There is onE
designated historic site intact:3
I. Terrebonne Ladies Pioneer Club, located at 8334 11th Street, TerrebonnE
(14-13-16DC TL 700).
Additionally, while they are not officially designated as Goal 5 historic resources
there are two other remnant historic sites that receive recognition: Oregon Trunl,.
Railroad Depot and Grant Hall. The following policy is carried over from the existinc{
Comprehensive Plan:
"Encourage the preservation of historical structures in Terrebonne: Ladies
Pioneer Club (1911), Oregon Trunk Railroad Depot (1911) and Grange
Hall (1925)."4

Protection District #1 provides fire prevention, protection, and suppression services
to Terrebonne residents.
• Goal 8, Recreational Needs is met because the plan amendment does not affect
his goal

commercial uses, if such uses are intended to serve the community
surrounding rural area or travel needs of people passing through the area.
XI. Prohibit industrial uses from dominating the character of the commercia
districts.
XII. Encourage new development in the commercial districts to become
compatible with the rural character of the community by using desigr
standards.

PAGE 5 OF 10 - EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2010-012
XIII. Prohibit access to be taken from U.S. 97 when there is an option to use a
local road.
XIV. Structure approval standards for conditional uses in the Commercial Rural District
to consider the impact on nearby residential and commercial uses, transportation
systems, and other public facilities and services.

designated on the Terrebonne Comprehensive Plan map, except under the
circumstances described in Policy 19.
XX. Rezone the Commercial Expansion Area from a residential district to a
commercial district only if no commercially zoned land can reasonable
accommodate the proposed use. Rezoning may be done without a plan
amendment. An applicant for a zone change must demonstrate that:
• Road right-of-way improvements and public water facilities to the
property are in place or will be in place when the development occurs:
or
• Road right of way improvements and public water facilities to the
property are under construction when a permit is issued; or
• Road right of way improvements and public water facilities to the
property have been in a local government or special district budget.
XXI. These standards apply in place of the County standards for rezoning
contained in Title 18, section 18.136.020 of the Deschutes County Code.
• Goal 10, Housing is not applicable because unlike municipalities, unincorporatec
areas are not obligated to fulfill certain housing requirements.
PAGE 6 OF 10 - EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2010-012

III. Preserve alignments for transportation corridors depicted in the
Transportation System Plan for future transportation purposes. The precise
alignments will be determined after further study and engineering analysis or
during the development of vacant properties.
IV. Where they exist, new roads shall take advantage of existing public right-of-
way.

2. Deschutes County Terrebonne Rural Community Chapter
The 1979 Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan designated Terrebonne a Rural
Service Center (RSC). Comprising 667 acres and 577 tax lots, the 1979 Terrebonne
RSC boundary included the Hillman Plat except a portion east of the Oregon Trunk
Railroad tracks. It included the area south of the Hillman Plat known as the Circle "C"
Acres Subdivision, which occupies land west of U.S. 97, east of 19th Street and north of
Davidson Way. The 1979 Terrebonne RSC boundary also included land in the north
one-quarter of Section 16, Township 14S, Range 13E, north of the Hillman Plat.
In 1994, the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted Oregon
Administrative Rule (OAR) 660, Division 22, Unincorporated Communities. This OAR
instituted new land use requirement for Terrebonne. OAR 660-22-020(3)(a) states that
land which has been acknowledged as an exception area and historically considered
part of the community may be included in an unincorporated community boundary. In
1997 as part of periodic review, Deschutes County updated its Comprehensive Plan
and implemented regulations for Terrebonne to comply with OAR 660, Division 22.
Terrebonne's boundary was expanded to include the portion of the old Hillman Plat east
of the railroad tracks. At the request of Circle "C" Subdivision residents, the boundary
excluded the entire Circle "C" Acres Subdivision, located south of Odem Avenue.
3. Ordinance 2010-012 / Terrebonne Community Plan
Ordinance 2010-012 amends the Comprehensive Plan, DCC Chapter 23.40.30 to
establish a Community Plan. The updated goals and policies provide a planning guide
to decision making in regard to land use, capital improvements and physical
development in Terrebonne during the next 20 years (2010 — 2030). It is anticipatea
that Deschutes County, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), special districts.
residents and community leaders will consult the Community Plan when preparing land
use projects in Terrebonne.
Terrebonne citizens set forth this vision for their community over the next 20 years. It is
their intent that the Community Plan, developed in cooperation with Deschutes County,
shall serve as a framework to realize this vision.
"Maintain the livability of Terrebonne as a small town with its rural and
scenic character, by encouraging efficient services and safe traveling
throughout the community."
PAGE 9 OF 10 - EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE 2010-012
This vision statement is created to ensure that with vigilance and foresight, the unique
rural character of Terrebonne can be maintained and enjoyed by present and future
generations.
4. Consistency with Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan
Land use planning implemented through Deschutes County policies and zoning will
enable residents, stakeholders, and property owners in Terrebonne to incorporate
development into the community. DCC 23.40.30, the existing chapter pertaining to
Terrebonne, is being updated and reformatted to become a Community Plan. The
Community Pian completely reformats DCC 23.40.30 to maximize readability. It
contains updated demographics, pictures, maps, goals and policies. As discussed
earlier, there is an overwhelming support for little or no change in Terrebonne. The
Community Plan's goals and policies reflect this sentiment by maintaining Terrebonne's
existing boundary, comprehensive plan designations and zoning districts. Furthermore,
given the community sentiment, it is unnecessary to propose changes to DCC Chapter
18.66, Terrebonne Rural Community Zoning Districts. In 2003, this chapter was found to
be in compliance with the County's comprehensive plan and, continues to implement
land use policies pertaining specifically to Terrebonne.
