TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Matthew Martin, Associate Planner
DATE: August 26, 2014
SUBJECT: Text Amendment to correct and clarify DCC 18.110.020 of the County zoning
ordinance. County File 247-14-000253-TA.
I. SUMMARY
Staff is bringing a text amendment to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for a public
hearing on September 15, 2014. This amendment corrects Deschutes County Code (DCC)
section 18.110.020 which omits Black Butte Ranch from the title of the section. The title
currently only identifies Seventh Mountain/Widgi Creek as a Resort District.
II. BACKGROUND
The BOCC recently approved a package of “housekeeping” text amendments (file No. TA-14-1)
that corrected errors and provided clarification to existing land use regulations and policies.
This package included an amendment that added of Seventh Mountain/Widgi Creek to the title
of DCC section 18.110.020. Since being approved, Planning Division staff identified the error
noted above. The attached document details the proposed amendment.
Under the County’s procedures ordinance, DCC 22.12.040(B), any legislative change shall be
reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to action being taken by the BOCC. The Planning
Commission held a work session on August 14, 2014 to review the proposed amendment and
unanimously supported the change.
III. SCHEDULE
A public hearing before the BOCC is scheduled for September 15, 2014. If approved, staff
requests the ordinance is adopted by emergency because it corrects an error discovered after
the adoption of the recent package of housekeeping text amendments. The change is not
controversial or substantive.
