FINDINGS OF FACT
Plan Amendment/Zone Change
1. The subject property is approximately 35 acres and is
currently vacant. The applicant is requesting a Plan
Amendment and Zone Change from the existing RSR -5 zoning to
Research and Development for 20 acres of a 35 acre parcel.
The 20 acres is to be consolidated with the existing parcel
for the Bend Research property. The subject property
consists of the research facility, with buildings,
driveways, parking areas and landscaping. There is an
existing lawn area covering approximately four to five acres
and a scrub brush area to the west of the lawn. The
property slopes sharply to Bailey Road on the east side.
There is also an existing pond and what appears to be a
concrete storage tank. The area of the requested rezone is
relatively level with a cover of juniper and scrub brush.
This property also slopes sharply to Bailey Road.
2. Surrounding land use includes scattered dwellings with hobby
farms and vacant land to the north, west and south. To the
east is Bailey Road, with Bend Aggregate's operation further
east. The subject property sets on a ridge overlooking
Tumalo.
3. The Bend Fire Department requested that adequate fire
fighting water supply be provided. They also requested that
the required fire flow within 150 feet of all exterior walls
of new buildings be sufficient for a minimum of two hours.
4. The research facility has intentions of expanding the
facility in the future at the existing location. The
subject property, as well as the adjacent area to be rezoned
is not considered resource land. It is not being utilized
for crops or livestock and is covered in juniper trees and
scrub brush. The property is currently zoned RSR -5, Rural
Service Residential and is within the Tumalo Rural Service
Center. The purpose of the RSR zone is to maintain the
rural character of the area in the immediate vicinity for a
Rural Service Center, while allowing for increased density
because of that proximity, but assuring densities are
compatible with the services available as well as the land
and natural resources.
5. The existing facility covers approximately one-third of the
buildable area on the existing R & D zoned parcel. There is
an existing lawn area west of the research facility, which
contains the septic disposal system. There is also an
undeveloped portion of the property, with a cover of juniper
and scrub brush on the western edge of the property.
-2- FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION, File No. PA -89-7 and ZC-89-9
1) 919 y 0635
6. The existing research facility was located on the subject
property in 1975, with two expansions occurring since that
time. The subject property is designated Rural Service
Center on the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and the
rezone of property from RSR -5 to Research and Development
does not require an exception to Goal #3, the agricultural
goal. The property to be rezoned is not being utilized for
farm uses, and is technically not resource land. The
existing Research and Development zone was created
specifically for Bend Research and is part of the Tumalo
Service Center.
7. The research facility is a relatively quiet land use, set
well off the existing road.
8. The expansion of the facility has created additional
employment to the area and has met the intent of the
Research and Development Zone, stated as follows:
The purpose of the Research and Development zone is to
allow research and development facilities requiring a
more rural, non -industrial location to be located in
designated areas of the County and encourage
employment opportunity within the County while
protecting the rural character of the area, as well as
preserving or enhancing the air, water and land
resources of the area.
9. This facility predates many of the residences on adjoining
properties. The road was paved by Bend Research. Presently
Bend Research is considered a good neighbor by adjoining
property owners.
10. At the hearing, there was concern raised by neighbors who
live along Research Road to the extent of expansion by Bend
Research and the impacts that expansion may have on the
adjoining properties. Presently, Bend Research has lands
located west of its building site which could be utilized
for building purposes. However, if the building site were
located near Research Road it would have a much more
intrusive impact on the residences along Research Road.
11. Both prior to and at the hearing, Bend Research indicated
that those acreages located immediately east of Research
Road would be left in open space or used for rural
residential purposes. It is logical and reasonable to allow
Bend Research to expand their research facility south of
their existing building site. Similarily, the impacts on
the rural residential nature of the surrounding area would
be enhanced by a similar rezoning of the acreage west of the
building site from Research and Development to RSR -5 -
Further, a split zoning of the property subject to expansion
wherein RSR -5 property is zoned on the acreages closest to
Research Road and the properties farther east on Tax Lot 404
-3- FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION, File No. PA -89-7 and ZC-89-9

(south of the existing buildings) would be zoned Research
and Development. This would provide a buffer between the
residences on Research Road and the Bend Research
facilities. Also, it would provide for only a slight
increase in the total acreages designated for research and
development and thereby have a negligible impact on the
Comprehensive Plan and the zoning of this general area.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
BASED UPON the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Hearings Officer
hereby recommends APPROVAL of the Plan Amendment and Zone Change
subject to the following considerations:
1. That the parcel subject to this application be split
in its designation for rezoning. The eastern two-
thirds of this parcel could be designated for Research
and Development and the western one-third of the
parcel could be left at RSR -5.
2. That this rezoning accompany a rezoning of the western
third of the existing Bend Research site from Research
and Development to RSR -5.
THIS DECISION BECOMES FINAL 10 DAYS FROM THE DATE MAILED, UNLESS
APPEALED.
DATED and MAILED this 12th day of December, 1989.
