SECTION 18.116.180(B)(a) and (122, Build-
ing Setbacks for the Protection of Solar
Access, is amended to read as follows:
B. Standards. Every new structure or
addition to an existing structure shall meet
the following standards for a solar setback
from the north lot line, except as provided in
(c) below:
a. South Wall Protection Standard. The
south wall protection standard is based on an
eight (8) foot solar fence on the subject
property's north lot line which allows solar
radiation on a neighboring building's south
wall above two feet from the ground, assum-
ing a twenty -foot setback from the common
property line to the neighboring building.
Solar setbacks for the south wall protection
standards can be calculated with the diagram
in Appendix A-1 or estimated with the table
in Appendix A-2. Final determination of
18
solar setback distance is made by entering
the following variables into the Deschutes
County Shadow Length computer program:
1. Pole height;
2. The eight (8) foot fence height;
3. The scale of the plot plan submitted
in feet per inch; and
4. Degrees of slope of the land from
east to west and from north to south.
If a setback meeting this requirement is not
[established in Appendix A, and all new struc-
ture or additions shall meet this standard if
feasible. If it is not] feasible due to physical
constraints of the lot, including, but not
limited to, rock outcroppings, septic systems,
existing legal restrictions or lot dimensions, as
determined by the Planning Director or Hear-
ings Body, then the structure or addition must
be located as far to the south on the lot as
feasible and must meet the standard set forth
in paragraph (b) below. (Ord. 91-020 § 1,
1991)
b. South Roof Protection Standard. The
south roof protection standard is based on a
fourteen (14) foot solar fence on the subject
property's north lot line which allows for
solar radiation on a neighboring building
above eight feet from ground level and
assuming a twenty -foot setback from the
common boundary line to the neighboring
building. Solar setbacks for this standard
can be calculated using the diagram in
Appendix B-1 or estimated using the table in
Appendix B-2. Final determination of the
setback will be made using the Shadow
Length computer program by specifying a
fourteen (14) foot solar fence and additional
site-specific information as listed in (a)
above. [All new structures or additions to
existing structure shall meet the standard for
south roof protection set forth in Appendix
B.]
SECTION 18.116.200, Time Share Unit, is
moved from the Supplementary Provisions
Chapter to the Conditional Use Chapter and
renumbered Section 18.128.080.
CHAPTER 18.116, Supplementary Provi-
sions, is amended by the addition of two new

facilities shall be permitted in the same
manner that single-family dwellings are

family dwellings" shall be synonymous with
the terms "residential home" or "residential
facility."

19
0107 1688
although such use does not conform with the
standards for new development specified in
this title. A nonconforming use or structure
may be altered, restored or replaced subject
to this section. No nonconforming use or
structure may be resumed after a one-year
period of interruption or abandonment unless
the resumed use conforms with the provisions
of this title in effect at the time of the pro-
posed resumption.
A. Verification of Nonconforming Use or
Structure. Verification of the existence of a
nonconforming use or structure shall be
required prior to or concurrent with any
application to alter or restore the use. The
burden of proof shall be on the applicant to
demonstrate its lawful existence. The appli-
cant shall demonstrate all of the following:
a. The nonconforming use or structure
was lawful on the effective date of the provi-
sions of this title prohibiting the use.
b. The nonconforming use or structure
was actually in existence on the effective date
of the provisions of this title prohibiting the
use, or had proceeded so far toward comple-
tion that a right to complete and maintain
the use would be vested.
C. The nonconforming use or structure
has not been interrupted for a period in
excess of one year or was never abandoned.
B. Maintenance of a Nonconforming
Use. Normal maintenance of a verified
nonconforming use or structure shall be
permitted. Maintenance does not include
alterations which are subject to paragraph
(D) below.
C. Restoration or Replacement of a
Nonconforming Use. A verified nonconform-
ing use may be restored or replaced if all of
the following criteria are met:
a. The nonconforming use or structure
had been damaged or destroyed by fire,

ced within one year of the damage or destruc-
tion.
D. Alteration of a Nonconforming Use.
Any alteration to a nonconforming use or
structure permitted under this section shall
also be subject to all applicable provisions of
this title, including site plan review. Alter-
ation does not include expansion of a use or
structure or a change in use.
a. The alteration of a nonconforming
use or structure shall be permitted when
necessary to comply with any lawful require-
ment.
b. In all cases other than that described
in (a) above, alteration of a nonconforming

ments may be permitted by the Hearings
Officer when both of the following criteria are
met:
1. The alteration is necessary to reason-
ably continue the nonconforming use.
2. The alteration will have no greater
adverse impact on the neighborhood.
E. Procedure.
a. Except when decided in conjunction
with a request to expand, alter, restore or
replace a nonconforming use, any application
for verification of a nonconforming use shall
be decided by the Planning Director, subject
to such procedure for appeal as set forth in
Title 22, the Deschutes County Uniform
Development Procedures Ordinance.
b. Applications to expand, alter, restore
or replace a nonconforming use shall in all
cases be subject to a public hearing consis-
tent with the requirements of Title 22, the
Deschutes County Uniform Development
Procedures Ordinance.
[A. Subject to the provisions of this
section, a nonconforming use or structure
may be continued but may not be extended or
altered, unless necessary to comply with a
lawful requirement. The extension of a
nonconforming use to a portion of a structure
for which a building permit or zoning permit
has been granted at the time of passage of
20
0107 x.609
this ordinance shall not be deemed an
enlargement or expansion of a nonconforming
use. A nonconforming structure which con-
forms with respect to use may be altered or
expanded if the alteration or expansion does
not cause the structure to deviate further
from the standards of this ordinance.
B. If a nonconforming use is discon-
tinued for a period of one year, further use of
the property shall conform to this ordinance.
C. If a nonconforming use is replaced by
another use, the new use shall conform to this
ordinance.
D. If a nonconforming structure or a
structure containing a nonconforming use is
destroyed by any cause to an extent exceeding
50 percent of its fair market value as indi-
cated by the records of the County Assessor,
the use shall not be re-established.
E. Nothing contained in this ordinance
shall require any change in the plan, construc-
tion, alteration or designated use of a struc-
ture for which a building permit has been
issued by the county prior to the adoption of
the ordinance, provided the structure is com-
pleted and in use within two years from the
time the permit is issued.
F. Nonconforming uses created by this
ordinance shall register their status with the
Planning Department within two years of the
adoption of this ordinance.]
