Home My WebLink AboutBend-La Pine School District Proposed New La Pine Elementary SchoolMEMORANDUM To: Deschutes County Board of Commissioners From: Sharon Smith, Legal Counsel for Bend -La Pine Schools Date: February 26, 2008 The Bend -La Pine Schools (the "District") and the Deschutes County Planning Staff ("Planning Staff') are working together to facilitate the 2009 opening of a new 300 student La Pine Elementary School. The County owns property in the Neighborhood Planning Area: The Comprehensive Plan has identified a school site for sale to the District. The school site cannot be transferred to the District until the school site is created through a partition. In order to facilitate a 2009 opening, the District and Planning Staff propose to process the following land use applications contemporaneously: 1. Partition Application: The Partition Application will create a separate 15 acre parcel of land. Once the partition is complete, the County will convey the property to the District pursuant to the provision of the Comprehensive Plan: "the County shall coordinate with the Bend La Pine School District to dedicate land in the Community Facility Limited District that is suitable for a school site at a cost that reflects the pro rata share of land purchase and infrastructure development." Chapter 23.40.020 (F)(1)(w). The District and County Counsel are working on the IGA for the property conveyance. 2. Quadrant Plan: The District will develop the 4a Quadrant Plan. 3. Site Plan Application: The District will submit a site plan for a 300 student elementary school, based on the prototypical design used for Elk Meadow, Pine Ridge, High Lakes and others.

PURPOSE This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is between Deschutes County, a political subdivision of the State of Oregon, through the Deschutes County Community Development Department, hereinafter referred to as "the County", and the Bend La Pine Public Schools, hereinafter referred to as "The District". It establishes standards of cooperation for implementing chosen solutions of the County's Regional Problem Solving Project. Oregon's Regional Problem Solving statute, ORS 197.650, requires assurance that "goals that are the subject of the collaborative regional problem solving process" are achieved. II. BACKGROUND The Oregon State Legislature authorized the Regional Problem Solving Project (RPS Project) and assigned the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development to administer the program. By statute, the Project required the collaboration- of all local, state and federal agencies involved in the study area to identify and resolve significant land use problems. The District was an active stakeholder in this Project and participated in identifying solutions to resolve problems. Thousands of lots were platted in the RPS project area prior to Oregon's land use laws. As development continues, there are impacts to groundwater that may become polluted, to wetlands, riparian areas, wildlife habitats and migration corridors, and to increased wildfire hazards. The favored solution to reduce density is to purchase and develop a parcel of 518 acres between La Pine and Wickiup Junction. This property has favorable access, existing utilities and infrastructure. Agency stakeholders participated in the preparation of alternative solutions to problems. The County and stakeholders concurred on the goal of exploring a new neighborhood as a receiving area for development rights as a means to reduce development in more sensitive areas where infrastructure does not exist. The property for this neighborhood has Highway 97 at its eastern boundary, and the neighborhood's development over 20 years may accelerate the need for the development of additional schools. Implementation of the new neighborhood meets the following Quality Development Objectives. established by Executive Order 97-22. These Objectives are to be used in combination with state Memorandum of Understanding Bend -La Pine Public Schools Regional Problem Solving Goals 1 and local partnership principles and local development objectives to help build healthy and diverse communities and regions throughout Oregon: • Give priority to a quality mix of development that addresses the economic and community goals of a community and a region. • Encourage mixed use, energy efficient development designed to encourage walking, biking and transit use (where transit is available). • Support development that is compatible with a community's ability to provide adequate public facilities and services. • Facilitate development that is compatible with community and regional environmental concerns and available natural resources (e.g. available water, air quality, etc.) • Support development that provides for a balance of jobs and affordable housing within a community to reduce the need to commute long distances between home and work, thereby minimizing personal commuting costs as well as the public and societal costs of expanding the transportation infrastructure.
