DATE: July 7, 2008. FROM: Kristen Maze. Community Development Department 383-6701 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: A public hearing and consideration of first reading for Ordinance 2008-022 to amend Deschutes County Code 18.116.090 to add recreational vehicles to the existing code allowing manufacture homes as a temporary residence for medical conditions. PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? YES BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Board of County Commissioners (Board) requested that the Deschutes County Community Development Staff initiate a text amendment to add recreational vehicles as a dwelling to be used as a temporary residence for a medical conditions to DCC 18.116.090. Currently, only manufactured homes are allowed under the code to be used as such residences. While drafting the text amendment, staff became aware that the statutory reference in the definition of a manufactured dwelling in DCC 18.04.030 is no longer correct. Therefore, this ordinance will also correct that statutory reference. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 22, 2008 and recommended approval of the proposed text amendment without any changes. The Board will conduct a public hearing to consider the text amendments. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: NONE. RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends the Board open the public hearing, listen to testimony and consider whether to have a first reading by title only of Ordinance 2008-022. ATTENDANCE: Kristen Maze. DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS: Kristen Maze Community Development Department Planning Division Building Safety Division Environmental Health Division 117 NW Lafayette Avenue Bend Oregon 97701-1925 (541)388-6575 FAX (541)385-1764 http://www.co.deschutes.or.us/cdd/ Staff Report TO: Deschutes Board of County Commissioners FROM: Kristen Maze, Associate Planner DATE: July 2, 2008 PUBLIC HEARING: July 21, 2008 SUBJECT: Text Amendment TA -08-2 Deschutes County Code Section18.116.090, A Manufactured Home as a Temporary Residence for Medical Condition The Deschutes Board of County Commissioners (Board) will hold a public hearing on July 21, 2008, at the Deschutes Services Center, starting at 10:30 a.m. The Commissioner's will consider a text amendment initiated by the Deschutes County Community Development Department (CDD) staff for the Deschutes County Code (DCC), Section 18.116.090, A Manufactured Horne as a Temporary Residence for Medical Condition and Chapter 18.04, Definition for Manufactured Home. A work session was held on June 18, 2008 to present the proposed amendment and answer the Board's questions. The purpose of this public hearing is to listen to public testimony and consider the proposed text, or direct staff to make changes and approve the text amendment. BACKGROUND This proposed text amendment will add Recreational Vehicles (RV's) as a temporary medical hardship dwelling to the Deschutes County code. This text amendment was initiated by staff at the Board's request because of code enforcement issues that began in early 2005. Deschutes County has three pending code enforcement cases with RV's in use as a temporary medical hardship dwelling. These code enforcement case property owners have recorded Voluntary Compliance Agreements with the County, that state, if a text amendment is adopted to allow RV's as temporary medical hardship dwellings an administrative land use permit and all necessary building permits will be applied for to achieve compliance with Deschutes County code and the necessary Building and Environmental Health codes. The current code DCC 18.116.090 permits only manufactured homes as temporary medical hardship dwellings. The purpose of this text amendment is to allow flexibility to applicants' that cannot afford the cost of placing a manufactured home as a temporary medical hardship dwelling. In addition, the use of a temporary RV is clearly a more temporary use than the Quality Services Performed with Pride placement of a manufactured home with a foundation. This proposal to allow RV's as a temporary medical hardship dwelling provides the public with a Tess costly alternative in a time of need. According to the code enforcement records Deschutes County currently has approximately 400 temporary medical hardship approvals that are in need of the required annual follow-up. Based on the number of County code enforcement staff and their current case Toad this annual follow- up could take more than a year to complete. This proposal could increase the number of temporary medical hardship dwellings in the county that would require annual review. DCC 18.116.095 currently allows RV's as a temporary residence on an individual lot. Under this code section the parcel can not contain a dwelling and allows RV's for a period of not more than 30 days in any consecutive 60 -day period without getting a land use permit. With a land use permit from the Planning Division a temporary RV is allowed for up to six months in a calendar year. This land use permit must be renewed annually and all necessary building and environmental health permits must be obtained. Staff has received two petitions from concerned citizens about the abuse of DCC 18.116.90 that allows manufactured homes as a temporary residence for a medical condition. The concern is that these temporary medical hardship dwellings once established with a permanent foundation, underground utilities, separate address and driveway are not removed after the medical hardship ceases. These petitions are generally in favor of RV's as a temporary medical hardship dwelling. These petitions address a county enforcement issue that is not a part of the proposed text amendment. However, they do raise issues with the overall issuance and enforcement of temporary medical hardship dwellings in Deschutes County. WORK SESSION ISSUES At the June 18th work session the Board discussed some concerns and question about the proposed text amendment. 1. Is notice to adjacent property owners required for each renewal of a medical hardship? State statutes reveal that the counties must conduct periodic review of the hardship but do not require notice to the neighbors. CDD currently sends out notice of the administrative decision following the initial application approval, no additional notice is sent to neighbors for annual review. 2. Is there a definition of "temporary"? Responses from other counties indicate they have no definition of "temporary" other than "until hardship ends". 3. How does the Assessor assess temporary medical hardship dwellings? If the medical hardship dwelling is a manufactured home and the manufactured home and the land have the same owner, the Assessor will assess a manufactured home for real property improvement value only. This improvement value is called "exception value." If the manufactured home is owned by someone other than the person who owns the land, then the manufactured home is given a separate account number and taxed as personal property. 2 The Board also directed staff to present some alternative language to establish clear temporary criteria for both manufactured homes and RV's as medical hardship dwellings. • Alternatives to the proposed DCC 18.116.090 Manufactured Home or RV as a Temporary Residence for Medical Condition code. 1. Add RV's to DCC 18.116.090 and direct staff to follow through with enforcement of annual follow-up by establishing a tickle file to notify applicants annually of their renewal requirements and possible removal of unnecessary medical hardship dwellings. Require applicants to record a Condition of Approval Agreement. 2. Add RV's to DCC 18.116.090 and incorporate additional code to include; o Time limits on temporary medical hardship dwellings based on DEQ statute for personal hardship, that allows a 5 year limit and may be extended upon application. o Prohibit additions to medical hardship dwelling such as attached garage, or porches and decks larger than 100 square feet. o Requires minimum foundation as required by the manufactured home standards. o No new driveway access to the street is permitted. o A Condition of Approval Agreement shall be recorded for all temporary residence for medical conditions. o Wastewater disposal system shall be connected to existing system if feasible. The disposal system shall be approved by the Environmental Health Director. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the May 22, 2008 Planning Commission public hearing, testimony was heard, alternatives text was discussed and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed text amendment without changes to the draft text amendment. TEXT AMENDMENT The proposed text amendment outlined in attachment 1 are underlined for new language and shown as ctrikethreugh for deleted language. For purposes of the hearing before the Board, this is the language proposed by the Planning Commission. The proposed text amendment will add to the existing code recreational vehicles as a temporary use for family members when a medical condition exists. The recreation vehicles would also be required to obtain all necessary building and environmental health permits as well as meet the required zoning setbacks. An additional change to the definition for Manufactured Home is necessary to update the Oregon State Rule (ORS) reference from (26) to (24) (a). REVIEW CRITERIA The proposed amendment revises DCC Title 18.116, Supplementary Provisions, specifically section 18.116.090 and 18 04.030, Definitions. Deschutes County lacks specific criteria in DCC 3 Titles 18, 22, or 23 for reviewing a legislative zoning text amendment. Therefore, the County must determine that the proposed text amendments are consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals and the County's Comprehensive Plan. The following draft findings demonstrate compliance with Statewide Planning Goals and the current County Comprehensive Pian, Title 23. State statute allows temporary medical hardship dwellings as a permitted use in the Exclusive Farm Use and Forest Use zoning districts. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners; 1. Open the Public Hearing, listen to testimony and discuss and approve the text amendments. Attachments: 1. Citizen Petitions 2. Ordinance 2008-022 and Exhibits 4 TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners Deschutes County Planning Commission We are concerned that our neighbors are abusing the section of the Deschutes County Code that provides for using a manufactured home as a temporary residence for a medical condition (DCC 18.116.090). We have observed a manufactured home being placed on a permanent foundation, receiving underground utilities, establishing a separate driveway and being assigned an address for mail delivery. This does not indicate a plan to remove the dwelling after a medical condition ceases to exist. Please help us retain the rural feel of our neighborhood. 1. Consider allowing recreational vehicles to be used as temporary residences for medical conditions. It is obvious that they are meant to be temporary and they are easier to move when the condition ceases to exist. 2. Consider permit conditions that require the temporary dwelling to connect to the existing septic system, use existing utility meters and driveway. 3. Do not allow a manufactured home to be converted to any other use after the medical condition ceases to exist. 4. Enforce the annual review of the temporary use permit. 5. Enforce the permit condition that the manufactured home be removed not later than 90 days following the date theanedical condition requiring the temporary use permit ceases to exist.

To enforce the provisions of DDC 18-116-090(b) and annually review permit compliance; and 4. To enforce DDC 18-116-090© and actively require the removal of such temporary structures following elimination of the medical condition or expiration of the permit.

(Ord. 2008-022 ti 2, 2008; Ord. 91-005 §45, 1991; Ord. 89-004 §5, 1989) PAGE 1 OF 2 EXHIBIT "B" TO ORDINANCE NO.2008-022 (7/21/08) TA -08-2 FINDINGS The Board of County Commissioners (Board) requested that the Deschutes County Community Development Staff initiate a text amendment to add recreational vehicles as a dwelling to be used as temporary residence for medical conditions to DCC 18.116.090. Currently, only manufactured homes are allowed under the code to be used as such residences. While drafting the text amendment, staff became aware that statutory references in the definition of manufactured dwelling in DCC 18.04.030 is not longer correct. Therefore, this ordinance will also correct that statutory reference. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 22 and recommended approval of the proposed text amendment with out changes. The Board held a work session on June 18, 2008 and requested that staff address new language to ensure that the manufactured homes permitted for medical conditions are only temporary dwellings. The Board held a public hearing and first reading on July 21, 2008. DESCHUTES COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 23 does not specifically address temporary medical hardship dwellings, however the county polices currently allow manufactured homes as temporary medical hardship dwellings and allowing recreational vehicles would confirm that these dwellings are to be temporary dwellings only and removed when the medical condition ends. COMPLIANCE WITH STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS: Goal 1 — Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. Finding: Goal 1 is satisfied through the County text amendment process that includes a Planning Commission work session held on April 24, 2008, followed by a public notice published in the Bend Bulletin on May 4, 2008 for the Planning Commission public hearing to be held on May 22, 2008, completed with a work session and public hearing with the Deschutes County Board Commissioners. Goal 2 — Land Use Planning. To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. Finding: Deschutes County has established a process and policy framework to assure that decisions rendered by the County on land use applications have an adequate factual basis. No exceptions to the Statewide Planning Goals are requested with this application. No goal exceptions are necessary because the area where this use will be allowed are already zoned for residential uses, the proposed amendment provides for an additional type of temporary dwelling The staff report PAGE 1 OF 3 — EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2008-022 (7/21/08) and accompanying materials contain the necessary facts for adoption of the proposed text amendments. Therefore, the text amendment is consistent with this goal. Goal 3 — Agricultural Lands. To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. Finding: Temporary medical hardship dwellings are a use allowed in the Agricultural (EFU) zones. Therefore, the proposed text amendment is consistent with Goal 3. Goal 4 — Forest Lands. To conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water, and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. Finding: Temporary medical hardship dwellings are a use allowed in the Forest lands. Therefore, the proposed text amendment is consistent with Goal 4. Goal 5: Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces. To protect natural resources and conserve scenic and historic areas and open spaces. Finding: The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 5 because temporary medical hardship dwelling will have to be sited to be consistent with regulations adopted to protect Goal 5 resources. Goal 6: Air, Water and Land Resources Quality. To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. Finding: The proposed text amendment will have little or no effect upon the air, water and land resources quality in Deschutes County because locations of the proposed medical hardship dwellings are already zoned for residential uses. The current county zones allow for the development of residential single family dwellings, therefore the water needs will be consistent with the current anticipated water usage or would only have a temporary increase in water usage. Goal 7: Areas Subject to Natural Hazards. To protect people and property from natural hazards. Finding: The identified natural hazards for residential use in Deschutes County are flooding and fire. Any temporary medical hardship dwelling will have to comply with codes designed to prevent damage from natural hazards including flood and fire. Goal 8: Recreation Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Finding: The proposed text amendment is not a recreational facility; therefore this Statewide Planning Goal is not applicable to this text amendment. PAGE 1 OF 3 — EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2008-022 (7/21/08) Goal 9: Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. Finding: This text amendment will provide for the ability of the affected property owner to implement a flexible, more cost effective and temporary medical hardship dwelling. This text amendment is not related to economic development. Goal 10: Housing. To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Finding: The proposal will encourage flexibility for different types of temporary medical hardship dwellings that are necessary to house citizens in need; therefore it is consistent with Goal 10. Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services. To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Finding: The temporary medical hardship dwellings are within Deschutes County and will be served by the existing sewer or septic and water or well systems. The proposed text amendment will not affect the existing public facilities and services that currently serve the properties; therefore this Statewide Planning Goal is not applicable to this text amendment. Goal 12: Transportation. To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Finding: The proposed text amendments will have no effect on the transportation system because there are no new roads being proposed with this amendment. The text amendment would promote the placement of a recreational vehicle as a temporary medical hardship use which would reduce the need for travel to and from the medical hardship properties. Goal 13: Energy Conservation. To conserve energy. Finding: The proposed amendments will aid in energy conservation because the property owners and their medical hardship tenants will not be required to travel to and from the property, thereby reducing the amount of energy consumed for transportation. Goal 14: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities. Finding: The proposed text amendment will only affect rural lands and is not applicable to land in the Urban Growth Boundaries. Statewide Planning Goals 15 —19 are related to resources not located in Central Oregon and, therefore are goals that do not apply to Deschutes County PAGE 1 OF 3 — EXHIBIT "C" TO ORDINANCE NO. 2008-022 (7/21/08)
