AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of April 8,2015
DATE: April 1, 2015
FROM: Matthew Martin CDD 541-330-4620
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
A public hearing on and consideration of First and Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No.
2015-004, Amending Deschutes County Code Title 18 to Define, Permit, and Establish Standards for
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Conjunction with State Law and Declaring an Emergency.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? Yes
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
On March 17,2014, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 2014-008 establishing
a moratorium on the operation of any marijuana dispensary in any area subject to the jurisdiction of
Deschutes County. This ordinance included a sunset clause resulting in the repeal of the ordinance on
May 1,2015. In anticipation of this repeal, Staff is presenting proposed text amendments.
Medical marijuana dispensaries are proposed to be a "conditional use" in the Exclusive Farm Use
(EFU) Zone and an "outright permitted" use in rural commercial (i.e., Tumalo, Terrebonne, Sunriver)
and industrial zones. Dispensaries will also be subject to site plan review and specific use standards.
Hours of operation are limited from 7:00am to 1 0:00pm. The proposed definition of medical marijuana
dispensaries and specific use standards are primarily structured to be consistent with the Oregon
Medical Marijuana Act (ORS 475.300-346).
The Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 12,2015, deliberated and
made a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to adopt the proposed amendments
with the following revisions:
-Changing the permitted hours of operation to 10am to 7pm.
-Not allowing dispensaries in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) zone
The Planning Commission excluded the EFU zone for dispensaries based on a recent correspondances
from the Department of Land Conservation and Development. Katherine Daniels, Farm and Forest
Land Specialist with DLCD stated in a March 2,2015 email that HB 3460 (2013) does not preempt
state or local land use law. Therefore, there is no authorization to allow dispensaries in EFU zones.
Given DLCD's position, staff drafted two versions of Ordinance No. 2015-004, one allowing
dispensaries in the EFU zone, the other excluding them.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
No.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Hold the public hearing. Ifthe Board desires to adopt the ordinance, the following motions:
MOTION 1: First and second reading by Title only of Ordinance No. 2015-004 and declaring an
emergency
MOTION 2: Adoption of Ordinance No. 2015-004

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 31,2015
TO: Deschutes County Soard of County Commissioners
FROM: Matthew Martin, Associate Planner
RE: Public Hearing -Text Amendments Addressing Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
I. SUMMARY
The Planning Division is bringing a package of text amendments to the Soard of County
Commissioners (SOCC) for a public hearing on April 8, 2015. These amendments propose to define,
permit, and establish standards for medical marijuana dispensaries. These amendments do not
address regulation of recreational marijuana or medical marijuana grow sites.
II. BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2014, the SOCC adopted Ordinance No. 2014-008 establishing a moratorium on the
operation of any marijuana dispensary in any area subject to the jurisdiction of Deschutes County. This
ordinance included a sunset clause resulting in the repeal of the ordinance on May 1, 2015. In
anticipation of this repeal, Staff is presenting proposed text amendments.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 12,2015, to receive testimony regarding the
proposed amendments, deliberated and recommended approving the amendments subject to the
following changes:
• Changing the permitted hours of operation to 10am to 7pm.
• Not allowing dispensaries in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) zone.1
The Planning Commission also wanted to acknowledge that, in addition to schools, there was interest
in not allowing dispensaries within 1,000 feet of other locations frequented by minors (Le. Soys and
Girls Club, YMCA, parks, daycares, etc.) as an additional protective measure for children. However,
there was concern about verifying compliance because the location of such uses may not be readily
identifiable whereas school locations are registered through the Oregon Department of Education. This
compliance challenge led the Planning Commission to not recommend including a distance
requirement from these additional uses.
III. SCHEDULE
A public hearing before the Soard of County Commissioners is scheduled on April 8, 2015.

The proposed text amendments are identified by underline in the attached exhibits with
explanation of the proposed change below.
Title 18 of the Deschutes County Code Amendment:
Defining Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Chapter 18.04. TITLE, PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS (Exhibit A)
Explanation: The proposed definition refers directly to ORS 475.300-346 and the defining
standards provided therein. Structuring the definition in this manner will allow seamless
consistency with State law in the event State law is amended by the Legislature requiring no
local action to comply.
Conditional Use Subject to Site Plan, Conditional Use. and Specific Use Standards
Chapter 18.16. EXCLUSIVE FARM USE ZONES (Exhibit B)
2 Katherine Daniels, Farm and Forest Land Specialist with the Department of Land Conservation and Development
stated in a March 2,2015 email that HB 3460 (2013) does not preempt state or local land use law. Therefore, there is
no authorization to allow dispensaries in EFU zones.
File No. 247-15-0063-TA Page 3 of 5
Explanation: Dispensaries are proposed as a conditional use in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU)
zone. This is in compliance with ORS 475.314(3)(a) which indicates dispensaries "must be
located in an area that is zoned ... as agricultural land." Staff determined dispensaries are most
similar to existing conditional uses permitted in the zone that have commercial use operating
characteristics and demands including traffic generation, parking demands, and serving the
general public. Review of a proposed dispensary in the EFU zone will be subject to the
applicable standards of DCC 18.116 (supplementary provisions), DCC 18.124 (site plan review),
and DCC 18.128 (conditional use).
Permitted Outright Subject to Site Plan and Specific Use Standards
Chapter 18.65. RURAL SERVICE CENTER -UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY ZONE
Proposed in Commercial/Mixed Use District. (Exhibit C)
Chapter 18.66. TERREBONNE RURAL COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICTS
Proposed in the Commercial and Commercial-Rural Districts. (Exhibit D)
Chapter 18.67. TUMALO RURAL COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICTS
Proposed in the Commercial and Industrial Districts. (Exhibit E)
Chapter 18.74. RURAL COMMERCIAL ZONE
Proposed in Deschutes Junction, Deschutes River Woods Store, Spring River, Pine
Forest and Rosland. (Exhibit F)
Chapter 18.100. RURAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE
(Exhibit G)
Chapter 18.108. URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY ZONE -SUNRIVER
Proposed in the Commercial, Town Center, and Business Park Districts. (Exhibit H)
Explanation: Dispensaries are proposed as a use permitted outright subject to site plan review
in the commercial, industrial, and mixed use zones listed above. This is in compliance with
ORS 475.314(3)(a) which indicates dispensaries "must be located in an area that is zoned for
commercial, industrial or mixed uses ... " Staff evaluated the existing and permitted uses in each
zone and found dispensaries were most similar to those commercial uses engaged in retail sale
of products as they have similar operating characteristics including traffic generation, parking
demands, and serving the general public. Review of a dispensary in these zones will be subject
to the applicable standards of DCC 18.116 (supplementary provisions) and DCC 18.124 (site
plan review).
Specific Use Standards for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Chapter 18.116. SUPPLEMENTARY PROVISIONS (Exhibit I)
Explanation: The proposed specific use standards primarily refer directly to ORS 475.314
which outlines the locational standards for dispensaries. The standards of ORS 475.314
include locational requirements that the dispensary:
• May not be located at the same address as a marijuana grow site;
• Must not be located within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising a public or private
elementary, secondary or career school attended primarily by minors; and
• Must not be located within 1,000 feet of another medical marijuana facility.
File No. 247-15-0063-TA Page 4 of 5
Similar to the proposed definition explained above, the proposed specific use standards are
structured in a manner that will allow seamless consistency with State law in the event State law
is amended by the Legislature with no local action necessary to comply. The one additional
local standard proposed is limiting the operating hours to 7:00pm to 10:00pm.
V. CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided herein, Staff recommends approval of the proposed text
amendment to clarify define, permit, and establish use standard for medical marijuana
dispensaries.

REQUEST: Text Amendment to the Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance (Title 18) to
define, permit, and establish standards for Medical Marijuana
Dispensaries in conjunction with State law.
STAFF CONTACT: Matthew Martin, AICP, Associate Planner
I. APPLICABLE CRITERIA:
Title 22, Deschutes County Development Procedures Ordinance
II. BASIC FINDINGS:
PROPOSAL: Text Amendment to the Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance (Title 18) to define,
permit, and establish standards for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in conjunction with State
law. On March 17, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted Ordinance No.
2014-008 establishing a moratorium on the operation of any marijuana dispensary in any area
subject to the jurisdiction of Deschutes County. This ordinance included a sunset clause
resulting in the repeal of the ordinance on May 1, 2015. In anticipation of this repeal, the BOCC
directed the Community Development Department to initiate these amendments. The proposed
amendments are intentionally broad in scope, referring primarily to Oregon Revisions Statute
(ORS) 475.300, Oregon Medical Marijuana Law1. This will allow the public process to engage
interested agencies, general public, and the Planning Commission to identify the needs and
interests of the community. The results will be a decision by BOCC establishing regulations for
dispensaries in unincorporated Deschutes County.

IV. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS:
The proposed text amendments are identified by underline in the attached exhibits with
explanation of the proposed change below.
Title 18 of the Deschutes County Code Amendment:
Defining Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Chapter 18.04. TITLE, PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS (Exhibit A)
Explanation: The proposed definition refers directly to ORS 475.300-346 and the defining
standards provided therein. Structuring the definition in this manner will allow seamless
consistency with State law in the event State law is amended by the Legislature requiring no
local action to comply.
Conditional Use Subject to Site Plan, Conditional Use, and Specific Use Standards
Chapter 18.16. EXCLUSIVE FARM USE ZONES (Exhibit B)
2 Katherine Daniels, Farm and Forest Land Specialist with the Department of Land Conservation and Development
stated in a March 2, 2015 email that HB 3460 (2013) does not preempt state or local land use law. Therefore, there is
no authorization to allow dispensaries in EFU zones.
PAGE 4 OF 5 – EXHIBIT “L” TO ORDINANCE 2015-004
Explanation: Dispensaries are proposed as a conditional use in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU)
zone. This is in compliance with ORS 475.314(3)(a) which indicates dispensaries “must be
located in an area that is zoned…as agricultural land.” Staff determined dispensaries are most
similar to existing conditional uses permitted in the zone that have commercial use operating
characteristics and demands including traffic generation, parking demands, and serving the
general public. Review of a proposed dispensary in the EFU zone will be subject to the
applicable standards of DCC 18.116 (supplementary provisions), DCC 18.124 (site plan review),
and DCC 18.128 (conditional use).
Permitted Outright Subject to Site Plan and Specific Use Standards
Chapter 18.65. RURAL SERVICE CENTER - UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY ZONE
Proposed in Commercial/Mixed Use District. (Exhibit C)
Chapter 18.66. TERREBONNE RURAL COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICTS
Proposed in the Commercial and Commercial-Rural Districts. (Exhibits D and E)
Chapter 18.67. TUMALO RURAL COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICTS
Proposed in the Commercial and Industrial Districts. (Exhibits F and G)
Chapter 18.74. RURAL COMMERCIAL ZONE
Proposed in Deschutes Junction, Deschutes River Woods Store, Spring River, Pine
Forest and Rosland. (Exhibit H)
Chapter 18.100. RURAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE
(Exhibit I)
Chapter 18.108. URBAN UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY ZONE - SUNRIVER
Proposed in the Commercial, Town Center, and Business Park Districts. (Exhibit J)
Explanation: Dispensaries are proposed as a use permitted outright subject to site plan review
in the commercial, industrial, and mixed use zones listed above. This is in compliance with
ORS 475.314(3)(a) which indicates dispensaries “must be located in an area that is zoned for
commercial, industrial or mixed uses…” Staff evaluated the existing and permitted uses in each
zone and found dispensaries were most similar to those commercial uses eng aged in retail sale
of products as they have similar operating characteristics including traffic generation, parking
demands, and serving the general public. Review of a dispensary in these zones will be subject
to the applicable standards of DCC 18.116 (supplementary provisions) and DCC 18.124 (site
plan review).
Specific Use Standards for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Chapter 18.116. SUPPLEMENTARY PROVISIONS (Exhibit K)
Explanation: The proposed specific use standards primarily refer directly to ORS 475.314
which outlines the locational standards for dispensaries. The standards of ORS 475.314
include locational requirements that the dispensary:
May not be located at the same address as a marijuana grow site;
Must not be located within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising a public or private
elementary, secondary or career school attended primarily by minors; and
Must not be located within 1,000 feet of another medical marijuana facility.
PAGE 5 OF 5 – EXHIBIT “L” TO ORDINANCE 2015-004
Similar to the proposed definition explained above, the proposed specific use standards are
structured in a manner that will allow seamless consistency with State law in the event State law
is amended by the Legislature with no local action necessary to comply. The one additional
local standard proposed is limiting the operating hours to 7:00pm to 10:00pm.
V. CONCLUSION:
Based on the information provided herein, Staff recommends approval of the proposed text
amendment to clarify define, permit, and establish use standard for medical marijuana
dispensaries.
