Staff Report
TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Kristen Maze, Associate Planner
DATE: April 2„ 2008
SUBJECT: Text Amendment TA -08-1 Deschutes County Code Chapter 18.12 Establishment
of Zones
The Deschutes Board of County Commissioners ("Board") will hold a work session on April 2,
2008. 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 staff's 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.
Staff has found this amendment to be consistent with Deschutes County's Comprehensive plan
and the County's existing land use mapping process.
Quality Services Performed with Pride
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. Review and discuss the draft text amendments.
2. Schedule a public hearing for proposed Ordinance 2008-009.

18.12.020. Location of Zones.
The boundaries for the zones listed in DCC Title 18 are indicated on the Deschutes County Zoning

(Ord. 91-020 §1, 1991)

A zoning map amendment adopted by DCC 18.12.020, above, or by an amendment thereto shall be
prepared by authority of the Planning Director or Hearings Body or Board of County
Commissioners. The map or map amendment shall be dated with the effective date of the order or
ordinance that adopts the map or map amendment. The Deschutes County zoning map exists in
official replica form as an electronic map layer within the County geographic information system.
The official copy of the electronic version of the zoning map shall contain a legal description of the

Unless otherwise specified, zone boundaries are section lines, subdivision lines, lot lines, center

or identifiable natural features, or the extension of such lines. In case of any dispute regarding the
zoning classification of property subject to the County code, the original ordinance with map exhibit
contained in the official county records will control. Whenever uncertainty exists as to the
boundary of a zone as shown on the zoning map or amendment thereto, the following rules shall
apply:
A. Where a boundary line is indicated as following a street, alley, canal or railroad right of way, it
shall be construed as following the centerline of such right of way.
B. Where a boundary line follows or approximately coincides with a section lines or division
thereof, lot or property ownership line, it shall be construed as following such line.
C. If a zone boundary as shown on the zoning map divides a lot or parcel between two zones, the
entire lot or parcel shall be deemed to be in the zone in which the greater area of the lot or
parcel lies, provided that this adjustment involves a distance not exceeding 100 feet from the
mapped zone boundary. DCC Title 18 does not apply to areas zoned flood plain.
