MEMORANDUM
TO: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Peter Gutowsky, Principal Planner
Nick Lelack, Planning Director
DATE: February 16, 2010
MTG: February 24, 2010
SUBJECT: Historic Preservation / Certified Local Government Grant
SUMMARY:
The two (2) purposes of this work session agenda item are to:
(1) Seek the Board's approval for staff to initiate a six-month program, starting in March, to
amend the Deschutes County Code (DCC) Chapter 2.28, Historical Preservation and
Historic Landmarks Commission; and
(2) Provide an opportunity for Deschutes County Landmarks Commissioner Patricia Kliewer to
present/discuss half of the County's historic buildings and properties (the other half will be
presented in about six months), and an update on Landmarks Commission activities.
BACKGROUND:
Deschutes County received a $3,000 Certified Local Government Grant (CLG) to update DCC
Chapter 2.28 in conjunction with the City of Bend to create one set of regulatory controls and
procedures for both jurisdictions. The reason for creating consistent historic preservation
ordinances is to establish a consistent, user-friendly set of standards for the Deschutes
Landmarks Commission (DLC). The DLC makes serves as a hearings body for matters
concerning historical districts, buildings and structures and sites within the county and the cities
of Bend, Redmond and Sisters.
The grant deadline is August 31, 2010, and a proposed project timeline is on the next page.
