HomeMy WebLinkAboutCDD Work Plan Staff Memo  ‐1-   MEMORANDUM DATE: January 4, 2011 TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners FROM: Peter Gutowsky, Principal Planner Nick Lelack, Planning Director MTG: January 12, 2011 Work Session RE: Planning Division / Long Range Planning Section Update This work session provides a status report on the Planning Division’s Long Range Planning (LRP) Section FY 2010-2011 work program. During the work session, staff will engage the Board of County Commissioners (Board) in an exercise to identify their priorities and direction for the LRP Section over the next six months. Due to staffing limitations, reduced hours, and ongoing responsibilities, it is not be possible to undertake all the projects identified in the FY 2010-11 LRP work plan as well as the new tasks identified below in Table 2. Three recent actions occurring last quarter prompted this status report: 1. In September, the Board directed staff to schedule a work session to discuss the Planning Division’s FY 2010-11 Work Plan, specifically the priority action item to: “Initiate legislative amendments to address commercial use of farm land.” 1 2. In October, the Board directed staff to schedule a work session to: “Discuss a possible second phase of a destination resort study.” 2 3. In December, the Planning Commission approved the following motion by Vice Chair Ed Criss: “The [Planning] Commissioners have heard public testimony that South County residents would like a community plan to address local issues with local input. The Commission requests that the Board direct the Planning Division, with an extensive citizen input process, to initiate this project early in 2011 (February or March). This will take time and resources that could be directed toward other projects. As a potential health problem has been recognized by the DEQ, we believe that this issue is a #1 priority in our area and the County.” 1 This direction followed the Board’s denial of a fee waiver request for a privately initiated text amendment to address event venues in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) Zone. 2 This action followed the completion of the Community Planning Workshop’s presentation of the study’s first phase.     -2- Direction from the Board is therefore necessary to identify which projects should be initiated over the next six months, and those that will need to be deferred to the FY 2011-12 work plan. In an effort to spearhead the discussion, this memorandum does the following: • Updates the LRP Section’s FY 2010-2011 ongoing projects (Table 1); • Identifies projects that are on the adopted FY 2010-11 Work Plan but not yet begun for various reasons (Table 2); • Summarizes the LRP Section’s ongoing statutory and regional coordination responsibilities (Table 3); • Lists LRP Section planning staff responsibilities (Table 4) and, • Summarizes the LRP Section’s completed projects for FY 2010-2011 (Table 5). I. Overview of LRP Section The LRP Section conducts public involvement to consider land use policy, updates the County Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations and coordinates with cities and agencies on various planning projects. A Planning Director oversees the LRP (and Current) Section(s). The LRP Section consists of a Principal Planner, Senior Planner, Senior Transportation Planner, and an Administrative Secretary. The LRP Section, like the rest of the Community Development Department, is on a reduced work week of 36 hours, recognized as 0.9 Full Time Equivalent (FTE). II. Board Prioritization Exercise Using the tables below, staff will first discuss Table 1, confirming with the Board which existing programs warrant continuing and then, if there is capacity and available resources, which projects in Table 2 can be initiated. III. LRP Section’s Ongoing Projects Table 1 provides an overview of the LRP Section’s current projects, including the FTEs required for managing them. For each project, staff seeks Board affirmation to continue. The results of this specific exercise will enable the Board to ascertain whether there is staff capacity and available resources to undertake new projects listed in Table 2. All of the projects in Table 1 noted with an asterisk (*) encompass a legislative amendment that is presently being reviewed by the Planning Commission. Deschutes County Code requires all legislative amendments to first go through a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Once they have made a recommendation, the Board then holds a public hearing. Legislative amendments, once adopted by the Board, can be appealed to the Land Use Board of Appeals. It is important to note that those projects that do not have an asterisk (*) will, at some point in the future, require a legislative amendment.
