Staff Report
TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Kristen Maze, Associate Planner
DATE: July 7, 2009
WORK SESSION: July 20, 2009
SUBJECT: Text Amendment TA -09 -1: Deschutes County Code, Sections 18.32.030
Multiple Use Agricultural -MUA 10, 18.60.030 Rural Residential RR -10,
18.128.050 Manufactured Home Park, 18.128.170, Recreational Vehicle
Park
The Deschutes County Board of Commission will hold a public hearing on July 20, 2009, at the
Deschutes Services Center, starting at 10:30 p.m. The Commissioners will consider an
applicant initiated text amendment by James Lewis representative for Rick Boro, to the
Deschutes County Code ( "DCC "), Sections 18.32.030 Multiple Use Agriculture MUA -10 zone,
18.60.030 Rural Residential RR -10 zone, 18.128.050 Manufactured Home Park and
18.128.170, Recreational Vehicle Park. The purpose of this public hearing is to listen to
testimony, follow by discussion and consider the first reading by title only of Ordinance 2009-
018.
BACKGROUND
This is an applicant initiated text amendment that proposes to change existing text and add new
text to the Deschutes County Code to allow the expansion and conversion of recreational
vehicle and manufactured home spaces in both Recreational Vehicle Parks and Manufactured
Home Parks in the MUA -10 and RR -10 zones subject to specific development provisions.
Currently, the expansion of existing Recreational Vehicle parks is not permitted in Deschutes
County. However, expansion of Manufactured Home parks within the existing property
boundary is allowed in both the MUA -10 and the RR -10 zones.
In 1994 and 1995, as a part of periodic review, an inventory of existing Manufactured Home and
Recreational Vehicle Parks was completed by the Deschutes County Community Development
Department. The purpose of this inventory was to:
1. Understand how the parks were functioning,
Quality Services Performed with Pride
2. To keep track of how the parks complied with land use regulations and ensure that clean
water, and
3. approved sewage disposal was being provided.
This inventory found that many of the parks were established in the 1970's or pre -1970 prior to
the creation of the statewide planning program and the county regulations for such uses. Many
of these parks went through the non - conforming use verification process in the early 1970's
after land use regulations were adopted. Others remain with no land use records that establish
when and how those parks were developed. The 1995 inventory identified 33 parks that
continue to operate today with the exception of two parks that no longer exist.
A recent inventory of the Assessors documents completed by the Deschutes County
Geographic Information System staff indicates that all but two of the Manufactured Home /RV
Parks are still operating at full capacity. While several have been incorporated in the city limits
of Bend and La Pine, the remaining 24 parks prove to economically viable for residential use.
APPLICANT PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
The applicant has worked with staff to propose a text amendment that meets the needs and the
intent of the Recreational Vehicle Park owners. The proposed text amendment is outlined in the
attached exhibit and is underlined for new language and shown as ctfilecethreugi for deleted
language.
ANALYSIS
In 1996 text amendment to the Deschutes County Code sections was amended to allow
expansion of the existing manufactured home parks that had been legally established and met
certain criteria; this did not include expansion beyond the areas subject to the impacts of the
existing park. This amendment acknowledged that manufactured home parks in existence and
the owners of the parks had a desire to maintain and enhance these uses.
The proposed text amendment will include Recreational Vehicles that were not addressed in the
1996 amendment. The original application did not include the RR -10 zone, however after
meeting with the applicant's representative it was agreed on by staff and the applicant, that the
RR -10 zone should be included in this text amendment. Based on the current inventory of the
24 Mobile Home and RV parks existing in the county; six parks are located in the RR -10 zone
and eight parks are located in the MUA -10 zone, the remaining are either EFU or part of a Rural
Community.
This proposal will allow expansion, conversion and a combination of RV spaces/ manufactured
homes within the Conditional Use section 18.32 and 18.60 of the MUA -10 and RR -10 zones. In
addition, specific criteria for change will be addressed in Conditional Use sections 18.128, for
Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicle Parks. An applicant will be required to have an
existing park listed on the 1995 inventory, established prior to June 12, 1996, and meet the
zoning criteria and the specific conditional use requirements for either a manufactured home or
recreational vehicle park. As a part of the conditional use permit process surrounding land
owners and affected agencies will be notified and have the opportunity to comment and address
any potential impacts. This amendment will not allow development of new parks or for
expansion beyond areas already subject to the impact from the existing parks.
2
Attached in the applicant's burden of proof (Exhibit 2) are several bulleted reasons why the
proposal is necessary. Staff supports many of these points and understands this proposal is
very similar to the 1996 text amendment allowing the expansion of manufacture home parks
only. This amendment will provide flexibility to the property owners to respond to the market
while maintaining compatibility with on -site uses as well as the surrounding land uses.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Deschutes County lacks specific criteria in DCC Titles 18 or 23 for reviewing a legislative zoning
text amendment. The County has determined that the proposed text amendments are
consistent with the County Comprehensive Plan, Title 23. The attached findings demonstrate
compliance with the Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 11, 2009 and recommended approval with
out changes to the proposed text amendment. Following review by legal counsel changes to
the applicant's proposed text amendment have been made for clarity purposes. Staff has
discussed these changes with the applicant's representative and has concluded that the
proposed changes will separate the text to clearly define the expansion of the two uses in one
clause and the full or partial conversions of the mobile home and recreational vehicle park in the
other clause. Both the applicant and staff believe that the changes meet the original intent to
allow a combination of such existing uses in the MUA -10 and RR -10 zones.
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commission;
1. Listen to public testimony, discuss the applicant proposed text amendments and
consider the first reading by title only of Ordinance 2009 -018.

Exhibit E
TA -09 -1 FINDINGS
This is an applicant initiate text amendment to allow the expansion and conversion of
recreational vehicle and manufactured home spaces in both Recreational Vehicle Parks and
Manufactured Home Parks in the MUA -10 and RR -10 zone subject to specific development
provisions to DCC Sections 18.32.030 Multiple Use Agriculture MUA -10 zone, 18.60.030 Rural
Residential RR -10 zone, 18.128.050 Manufactured Home Park and 18.128.170, Recreational
Vehicle Park. Currently, the expansion or conversion of existing Recreation Vehicle parks is not
permitted in Deschutes County.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 11, 2009 and recommended approval
of the proposed text amendment with out changes.
The Board held a public hearing and first reading on July 20, 2009
DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 23 does not specifically address
recreational vehicle and manufactured home parks, however the county code allows
manufactured homes in established manufactured home parks prior to PL -15 1979. The
Comprehensive Plan sections that apply to this text amendment include: 23.16 Rural
Development, 23.48 Urbanization, 23.60 Transportation, 23.64 Transportation System Plan,
23.72 Recreation.
The pre- existing manufactured home and recreational vehicle parks found in Exhibit 1, The
1995 Inventory of Manufactured Home and RV Parks, are legally operating in the MUA -10 and
RR -10 zones, as valid nonconforming uses. This list was completed for the purpose of periodic
review prior to the adoption of Ordinance 96 -038 on June 12, 1996. As a result of this inventory
it was found that many of the parks were established in the early 1970's prior to the creation of
the statewide planning program and county regulations for such uses.
A recent review of the 1995 Mobile Home and RV Park Inventory identified 24 of the 33 listed
parks located in the unincorporated areas of Deschutes County, continue to operate and prove
to be economically viable residential uses. These residential uses address a need for
affordable housing in Deschutes County, therefore it is recognized that allowing for the
expansion and /or conversion of existing manufactured home and recreational vehicle parks
within their existing boundaries through a conditional use process would help provide affordable
housing.
A review of existing 1970's and pre- 1970's manufactured home and recreational vehicle parks
in MUA -10 and RR -10 zones indicates they do not generally pose neighborhood compatibility
problems. The 14 existing parks located in the MUA -10 and RR -10 zones that this tex'
amendment would affect, will not create a significant change in traffic. Any potential change to
traffic from a conversion or expansion within the park boundaries would be addressed durinc
the Deschutes County conditional use permit process. In addition, there is a significant cos
involved in the conversion or expansion of a manufactured home or recreational vehicle park
that would be a limiting factor for park changes. These costs could include; planning permi :
fees, environmental health fees, and the building permit fees along with the cost of construction
of any type of conversion, expansion or combination required for meeting the current state and
county regulations.
Exhibit E
Any expansion or conversion of the existing recreational vehicle parks would satisfy recreation
needs of visitors to Deschutes County. Although the County does not have its own parks and
recreation department it is important to Deschutes County to provide adequate lands available
for recreation to be maintained.
The proposed amendments to the Deschutes County Code would satisfy the goals and policies
of the 2000 Comprehensive Plan.
