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 staffs 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 for deleted language (Attachment 1). These proposed text 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 lacks 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. Attachments: 1.
