CI � _ A. ;" Commissioner VOL MME 0058 E X H I B I T A The following amendments are additions to or substitutions of the text of the Sisters Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, as the case may be, in order to comply with statewide planning goals and fulfill the acknowledgment requirements set forth by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal 2 and Goal 4 (Forest Lands 1. The "Forest Reserve" designation on the Plan is hereby deleted from the Urban Growth Boundary. 2. All forested areas within the Sisters Urban Area have been identified as "Low Productivity" on the Deschutes County Productivity Maps, Resource Element of the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan. Goal 5 (Open Space, Scenic & Historic Areas and Natural Resources) Part V, Page 68, 69. Finding 8. The Trans -American Bikeroute is currently routed through the Sisters area. Policy 17. The Trans -American Bikeroute identified on the Comprehensive Plan Map shall.. be protected against incompatible encroachments. The route should be appropriately marked for convenient identification with a "stop over" designation at Sisters State Park. Finding 9. The Sisters Hotel and the Sportsmans Hotel, now known as Sisters Drug Company, are designated as historic sites within the City of Sisters. Table No. 12 shall be amended accordingly. Finding 10. The Sisters City Council has passed a resolution to adopt the Deschutes County Historical Sites Ordinance, which will provide the necessary mechanisms to protect these sites. VOL 36PAGE 009 Finding 3. There is no fish and wildlife habitat within Sisters according to the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. Animal Life inventory discussed on page 23 refers only to the outer general Sisters area, but does not apply to the Urban Growth Boundary. Goal 6 (Air, Water and Land Resources Qualitv) Part V. Page 64 Amend and Add as follows: Finding 1. At present, there are no known air, water or noise quality problems within the city of Sisters, according to the Department of Environmental Quality. There has been some concern expressed over noise conditions caused by truck traffic through the city, however. There is no community sewer system for the area and policies have been developed in the Plan to promote the development of a community sewerage system. Policy 2. All development and activities shall comply with State Federal Air, Water and Noise Control Standards. Policy 3. The transportation plan shall take into consideration possible routes around the community through the industrial park to the north to help minimize excessive noise from truck traffic through the core area and residential areas. An Arterial Connection has been provided on the Plan from Camp Polk Road west to Hwy. 126. EXHIBIT A, PAGE 2 VOL 36PAGE 9CD Goal 10 (Housing) Part V, Page 83. Amend Table 15 and Finding No. 12 as follows: TABLE NO. 15 PROJECTED HOUSING NEEDS - SISTERS URBAN AREA Finding 12. Buildable Lands - Projected Requirements There are presently 113 gross acres of inventoried vacant residential lots suitable for residential development with the city limits. There are presently 360 units with the UGB (April 1979). Of this, 44 units and 12 acres are commercially zoned and are expected to be eliminated by the year 2000. Therefore, with 316 units on 101 acres within the projected urban growth boundary, an additional 652 new units will be needed by the year 2000. Without public sewers, it is antipicated that the overall density will average approximately 2.5 units/acre. This average includes both single- family and multiple -family units, since all new residential development will be limited to lower single family densities without a community sewer system. With 652 new units required, 260 additional acres will be needed within the urban growth boundary.

With 652 new units required, 260 additional acres will be needed within the urban growth boundary. EXHIBIT A, PAGE 3 -3 - VOL c) KE S 1 Finding 12. Buildable Lands- Projected Requirements (con't) The market percentages assigned each type of housing to determine housing needs by type of residence is based on recent trends as indicated by building permit records for the area. About one-third of the housing in Deschutes County in recent years have been mobile -homes. This has also been true for Sisters, even though over half the existing older homes in the city are mobilehomes. Of the lots that have been previously subdivided for mobilehomes, there are 38 which are unoccupied and 102 which are occupied. This high vacancy has existed with very little change in the past 6 years and is not typical of the county as a whole. Regardless of these trends however, a 35% rate of the housing market will be used for mobilehomes in order to promote the more affordable housing needs of lower and average income people. Goal 11. (Public Facilities and Services) Part V, Page 65, 66. Amend and add as follows: Finding 3. Water Supply. The city's water distribution system is not adequate to accomodate the projected growth. However, there is ample water source potential from Pole Creek and wells to accomodate the projected growth to the year 2000. The City has adopted a 'systems development charge' affecting all new development which is intended to help improve the entire water system. In addition, the city is seeking funds to update the city water system plan. Finding 8. Storm Sewers. The city has no continuous storm sewers, but because of drainage conditions throughout the city, the city has completed an engineering study with complete improvement_ plans and drainage structures to handle storm runoff. The plans were funded by the Oregon State Highway Division and the City of Sisters. These plans are currently being implemented by new development Policy 12. The city and county shall adopt an amendment to their respective subdivision ordinances which will require a 'resubdivision plan' of lot sizes to the minimum lot size when public sewers are available. Without public sewers, lot sizes shall be a minimum of 12,000 sq. ft. in area. Larger lots may be required because of drainfield requirements. EXHIBIT A, PAGE 4 -4- sj VOL Shut v �+ Goal 14 (Urbanization) Part V. Page 89, 90. Amend and add as follows: Finding 1. Demonstrated Need to Accomodate Long -Range Urban Population Growth Requirements Consistent With LCDC Goals. The present size of the city is not adequate to accomodate the projected growth requirements for the year 2000. The current population is projected to increase to 2,135 by the year 2000. There are 113 gross acres of buildable vacant residential lands within the city limits. Existing land use inventory indicates 360 dwelling units. This area includes 44 dwelling units on 12 gross acres which are commercially zoned and are expected to be eliminated during the planning period. From Table 15, the projected housing needs for the area indicates that 968 total units will be required by the year 2000. Subtracting the resulting 316 existing units, an additional 652 new dwelling units will be needed to satisfy the future housing needs of the Sisters urban area. Without public sewers (which has continued to fail at the polls), it is estimated the overall unit density of the Sisters growth area will be 2.5 dwelling units/acre. This average includes both single and multiple family units. With 652 new units required, an additional 260 acres of buildable lands will be needed within the urban growth boundary. There are 40 acres of industrial lands shown on the Plan of which 32 acres are presently vacant and buildable. No additional industrial lands are needed for the projected growth. There are 25 net acres of highway commercial and 70 acres of general commercial lands shown on the Plan which should be adequate to serve the needs of both the projected urban growth area population and the surrounding area of influence which consists of a much larger area in population growth than the urban area of Sisters. Historically, in the development of the county -wide planning program for this area, it has been a policy that Sisters would serve as the commercial hub and primary service center for all planned recreation develop- ments such as Black Butte Ranch, Indian Ford and others, in addition to its being a Cascade gateway stop for tourists and for the local residents. EXHIBIT A, PAGE 5 VOL 36nu S 3 Goal 14 (Urbanization) (continued) These compounding factors, together with land area restraints previously discussed relative to sewage disposal, parking, etc., clearly indicates the need for the commercial areas shown on the Plan. The following supportive data indicates the estimated growth of the Sisters influence area outside of the Urban Growth Boundary in need of commercial services without having to travel unnecessary distances. Such commercial services will greatly facilitate energy conservation as well as provide for the convenience of area residents and tourists.

This data may be obtained from the Sisters Area Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1974. While the data may be of some value in viewing a larger area and land use changes within the city limits, it does not reflect existing conditions of the Urban Growth Boundary. Tables No. 9 and 10 combine all available information and presents new data for the Urban Growth Boundary which will provide the basis for comprehensive plan policies.

Urban Growth Boundary - Forest Reserve Elimination (LCDC Comp) Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendment 1. Elimination of the west 80 acres of land from the Urban Growth Boundary will result in a total UGB area of 880 acres which is the minimum required to accommodate the projected growth. 2. Elimination of the "Forest Reserve" designation will eliminate conflicts with statewide Forest Lands goals. B. Elimination of Main Street from future one-way couplet and replaced by Cascade Street. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment 1. Potential conflicts with adjacent school activities will be reduced. 2. Cascade Street presently exists with no need for additional right-of-way acquisition would result in easier implementation of a one-way couplet system at less cost. 3. The U.S. Forest Service has objected to the ex- tension of Main Street and has no plans to move their facilities. 4. Due to the rapid increase in thru-traffic, it will be necessary to implement the one-way couplet high- way system much sooner than would be possible by utilizing Main Street. C. Elimination of Commercial Service property. Comprehensive Plan Map and designation on U.S. Forest Zoning Map Amendment 1. The elimination of Main Street through U.S. Forest Service property reduces the need for commercial expansion at this location. - 2 - VOL 06PAJ000 2. The amount of commercial land lost will be replaced by adding a like amount to the commercial area designated along the south side of Hood Street (extended). 3. Elimination of the commercial designation at this location will reduce traffic conflicts at a critical intersection where two major highways (McKenzie Hwy. and U.S. Highway 126) merge into Cascade Street. D. Adjustment of Commercial boundary south of Hood Street (extended) to the centerline of Washington Street (extended). Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Map Amendment 1. The additional commercial designation at this location replaces the commercial area eliminated from the U.S. Forest Service property. 2. The depth of 114 feet south of Hood Street extended, is insufficient to accommodate needed commercial areas of the City for the following reasons: a. Public sewers are not available (see detailed discussion of this restraint in the Comprehen- sive Plan). b. Size of vacant parcels are too small to meet todays requirements for needed commercial services and sewage disposal. 3. Increasing the commercial depth for the reasons stated will discourage "strip commercial" type developments. E. Relocation of City Park designation. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment 1. Replacement of the city park designation from the existing location to city property adjacent to City Hall will not constitute an omission of down- town park needs. 2. The relocation, being adjacent to City Hall and the new library, will provide a more appropriate use and maintenance capability. EXHIBIT C, PAGE 2 -3- VOL 36PAG1001 F. Redesignation of Circle 5 Trailer Park. Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Map Amendment from LM, Landscape Management to RS, Single Family 1. The current Plan and zoning designation for this property makes the existing trailer park a non- conforming use with no provision to improve. 2. The existing trailer park is sub -standard, particularly with respect to sewage disposal which constitutes a health hazard. This condition cannot be corrected under the present zone. 3. There is an established need for trailer park facilities in Sisters and there are no other trailer parks in the Sisters area. 4. The trailer park should improve in order to replace the existing sewage system which poses a threat to adjacent Squaw Creek. G. Correction to Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Ma Highway Commercial designation along U.S. Hwy. 120, Comprehensive Plan Map and Zoning Map Amendment 1. Due to an oversight in the drafting of the final plan and zoning map, the Highway Commercial designation contained in the previous zoning adopted in 1975 was omitted. 2. In addition to the findings contained in the Comprehensive Plan under Goal #14, Urbanization, the following supportive da.ta is added to indicate the estimated growth of the Sisters influence area outside of the Urban Growth Boundary in need of commercial services without having to travel unnecessary distances. Such commercial services will greatly facilitate energy conservation as well as provide for the convenience of area residents and tourists.
