Destination Resort Remapping Work Program

Remapping Criteria and Procedures

The Board of County Commissioners on July 28, 2010 adopted by emergency Ordinances 2010-024 and 2010-025.

Notice of Adoption 

Ordinance 2010-024 - Destination Resort Remap Policies 

Ordinance 2010-025 - Destination Resort Map Procedures 

Background

Initiated by staff, Ordinances 2010-024 and 2010-025 create a process and criteria Deschutes County will follow to change its destination resort map. The two ordinances modify DCC Chapter 23.84, Destination Resort Goals and Policies, and Chapter 22.23, Destination Resort Map Amendment Procedures by:

  • Listing lands that are not allowed for destination resorts;
  • Listing lands that are allowed for destination resorts; and,
  • Describing how Deschutes County’s Destination Resort Map can be amended.

Next Steps / Map Amendment Deadlines

State law requires that all map amendments be processed concurrently and no frequently than once every thirty months.

  • The deadline for submitting an application to add property to the Deschutes County Destination Resort Map is Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 5:00 p.m.
  • Properties currently mapped that do not meet the new eligibility rules will be proposed for removal. County staff will initiate the "un-mapping" amendments.
  • Grandfather Clause: Lands shown on the existing eligibility map but unable to comply with the new eligibility rules [DCC 23.84.030(3)(a), 23.84.030(3)(b), 23.84.030(3)(c) and 23.84.030(3)(d)] will remain on the eligibility map if property owners file a formal request with the Deschutes County Community Development Department on an authorized county form by Friday, January 7, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. to remain eligible.

Tax Bill Insert

Deschutes County planning staff will review map amendment applications as well as prepare findings for removing lands no longer eligible based on Ordinance 2010-024.

Staff will initiate a Measure 56 notice and include it as an insert to the fall property tax bill, alerting county residents of the first evidentiary hearing before the Planning Commission.

 

First Evidentiary Public Hearing

The first evidentiary public hearing before the Planning Commission will occur in November 2010. The official date is being determined.
