made. Tim Berg replied that information regarding zone changes is reflected
immediately after adoption by the Board.

descriptions take precedence.

MELTON: Move first reading by title only.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: DALY: Yes.
MELTON: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
3. Before the Board was Consideration of First Reading of Ordinance No.
2008 -007, Amateur Radio Facilities Text Amendment.
Ms. Craghead stated that it appears that this issue should be adopted by
emergency, as the law needs to be in place so that any future towers can be
properly permitted.
This item will be addressed next week so that the emergency clause can be
added.
4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2008-
171, an Amendment to the Improvement Agreement regarding Required
Amenities at Pronghorn Destination Resort.
Ms. Craghead asked that this be moved to the Wednesday, April 30 agenda.
5. A Work Session regarding Document No. 2008 -120, an Application for an
Outdoor Mass Gathering Permit for an Event in Tumalo (Applicant: 4
Peaks Presents).
As requested by the Board, Kristen Maze stated that she checked the status of
the properties and all three have some of their property on farm deferral.
In regard to the noise issue, Ms. Craghead distributed a handout for review.
The applicant believes that the noise ordinance does not apply since the outdoor
mass gathering provisions address noise separately. Ms. Craghead stated that if
the sound is over 50 decibels, it can be too high if there are residences within
that area. Legal Counsel for the Sheriff's Office and counsel for the applicant
do not agree.

Page 2 of 5 Pages
Commissioner Luke said that up to 70 decibels would be allowed until 10 p.m.
Ms. Craghead stated that it would also have to apply to the later time frame.
Commissioner Melton said that Item D may come into play for this permit and
not necessarily others. Ms. Craghead stated that the Board would have to allow
this to apply to all events. Commissioner Melton observed that it is
Other issues, such as open fires and the stage being closer than 1,000 feet to the
neighbor's residence, are being addressed. The State statute is less that
Around 92 e-mails have been sent in favor of supporting the event, and 10
against.
Ms. Craghead stated that ORS 433.763 clarifies the steps for approval. She
added the event includes setup and takedown and there will be fewer people
during that time; those doing this work are to be included in the 3,000 total
people allowed to the event.
Commissioner Melton asked how flagging and traffic would be handled. Ms.
Maze said that they have people handling parking and road issues. The road
was shut down last year for a brief period of time to move equipment onto the
land. Commissioner Luke stated that the Road Department issues permits to
handle oversized equipment or whether the road needs to be closed. Dave
Kanner stated that the number of certified flaggers is not stated. Ms. Maze said
that the Road Department did not weigh in although they were informed of the
event, and the Sheriff's Office did not comment on the number of flaggers
needed.
Ms. Maze stated that people were requested to use O.B. Riley Road since it has
a more controlled access. Commissioner Luke suggested that the Sheriff's
Office and Road Department be contacted to clarify how traffic and access will
be handled.
Commissioner Daly said that he got an e -mail today that said the Cascade
Cycling Classic has a lot more impact than this event would. Commissioner
Melton stated that her concern is not the nature of the event or the roads
affected, but the use of EFU land for this purpose. Commissioner Luke
expressed concern that the land is being used for non -farm purposes. Ms.
Craghead replied that testimony was given that the land being used for the event
is not land that is under farm deferral. She added that a higher insurance
amount cannot be required as the limit is set by statute.

Commissioner Melton said that she is concerned about the length, eight days
due to setup and takedown. Commissioner Luke stated that he is not in favor of
loud music being allowed after 10:00 p.m. Commissioner Melton said that she
would like to see regulations regarding sound checks so everyone will know
what to expect. The applicant has put in a lot of time and effort getting this to
the Board and the right thing to do is to get a decision made as soon as possible.
Ms. Craghead stated that they could have music five days in a row per the
County, so it is not feasible to specific to state how sound checks are done; as
long as they handle this within the allowed timeframe.
Ms. Maze said that there will be construction noise during setup and takedown
and there is 110 way to limit the number of days. Commissioner Melton asked if
the permit can be made more restrictive in regard to sound checks; Ms.
Craghead does not feel this is feasible under the current law. Commissioner
Melton would like to see language that reflects the intent of the applicant.
Commissioner Luke said that a broader policy discussion needs to be done at a
later date in regard to events that take place on an annual basis. He is not sure
that he wants to see this type of event taking place on a regular basis. Ms.
Craghead stated that under State law this could occur as often as every three
months.
In regard to the stage, Ms. Craghead stated that it needs to be at least 1,000 feet
from dwellings; this is a condition of approval.
Ms. Maze asked for clarification regarding limiting the permit; Ms. Craghead
said she does not think this can be done but will check into it.
The Board would like to discuss this further at the Wednesday afternoon work
session. Ms. Maze stated that the written record closes Friday, May 2 at 5:00
p.m. A decision would be made at the Monday, May 5 business meeting.
6. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA
None were offered.
Being no further items to come before the Board, Chair Luke adjourned the
meeting at 11:00 a.m.

Staff Report
TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Kristen Maze, Associate Planner
DATE: April 14, 2008
HEARING: April 28,, 2008
SUBJECT: Text Amendment TA -08 -1 Deschutes County Code Chapter 18.12 Establishment
of Zones
The Deschutes Board of County Commissioners ( "Board ") will hold a public hearing on April 28,
2008. The Commissioners will consider a text amendment for Deschutes County Code Section
18.12 Establishment of Zones: Specifically, section 18.12.030 recognizing geographic
information system (GIS) maps as the official copy used by the Deschutes County staff and
adding language to section 18.12.040 Zone Boundaries that identifies protocol for disputes
regarding any zone map classification.
Background
This is a Deschutes County Community Development Department ( "CDD ") staff initiated text
amendment. This amendment will identify in our existing code, section 18.12.030 Zoning Map,
the use of the electronic map layer within the County GIS as the official map copies.
Deschutes County's GIS program was started in 1991 when Road Department management
suggested building a geographic information system to create and maintain Tax Assessor's
Maps. The GIS program has evolved to a point where it routinely performs geographic analysis
and creates different mapping products for multiple county departments. Today's technology
has put GIS capability on user desktops easily and economically for County staff as well as
community users. Today our GIS program operates under the Community Development
Department and is vital to staff's mapping knowledge and efficiency.
This amendment will recognize our current mapping process. The Deschutes County Clerk's
office will continue to record and maintain all permanent media pertaining to zoning and
comprehensive plan maps. All amendments will also be recorded and maintained with the
County Clerk. The updated and amended mapping will be reflected in the GIS electronic maps
CDD staff accesses daily.
Quality Services Performed with Pride
Staff has found this amendment to be consistent with Deschutes County's Comprehensive plan
and the County's existing land use mapping process.
Draft Text Amendment
The proposed text amendment outlined in the attached Ordinance are underlined for new
language and shown as str-ikethr-augh for deleted language (Attachment 1). These proposed tex:
changes have been reviewed by the County Clerk and the County Legal Department.
In addition to the amendment to section 18.12.030, staff is making typo corrections to section
18.12.010 and adding existing zone districts that are not included in the code. Language is
proposed for section 18.12.040 Zone Boundaries, to address any disputes to the zoning
classification of a property.
Review Criteria & Findings
The proposed amendment revises Deschutes County Code Title 18, Establishment of Zones.
Deschutes County Tacks specific criteria in DCC Titles 18, 22, or 23 for reviewing a legislative
zoning text amendment. Therefore, the county must determine that the proposed Title 18 text
amendments are consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals and the County's
Comprehensive Plan. The parameters for evaluating these text amendments are based on
whether there are adequate findings that demonstrate this consistency.
For purposes of this discussion, the proposed amendments would satisfy Statewide Goal 1,
Citizen Involvement, and Goal 2 Land Use Planning.
• Goal 1 would be satisfied through our County text amendment process that includes a
Planning Commission work session, followed by a Planning Commission public hearing,
Board of Commissioners work session and public hearing.
• Goal 2 was reviewed for compliance. The text amendment meets the intent because it
would have no effect on Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan goals and policies
because the current Comprehensive Plan does not address the County mapping
designations. Staff intends to address the Comprehensive Plan designation and
mapping in the proposed Comprehensive Plan Update currently under consideration.
The Deschutes County Code Chapter 18.12 Establishment of Zones would be the only
regulation that requires amending at this time.
• The other Statewide Goals 3 through 14 were reviewed and are not applicable to this
text amendment proposal because it simply addresses Deschutes County codification of
the electronic mapping as official copies to the permanent media maps recorded in the
Clerks office.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board;
1. Listen to testimony from the public
2. Review and approve the proposed Ordinance 2008 -017.

the county governing body may require organizers to obtain an insurance policy in an amount
commensurate with the risk, but not exceeding $1 million. The policy of casualty insurance shall
provide coverage against liability for death, injury or disability of any human or for damage to property
arising out of the outdoor mass gathering. The county shall be named as an additional insured under the
policy.
(2) In the event of failure to remove all debris or residue and repair any damage to personal or real
property arising out of the outdoor mass gathering within 72 hours after its termination and to remove

debris, residue or temporary structures and to repair such damage to real or personal property of persons
not attending the outdoor mass gathering. The organizer shall be wholly responsible for payment of any
fines imposed under ORS 433.990 (7). [1971 c.597 §4; 1985 c.758 §5; 1993 c.779 §2; 2001 c.104 §158;
