CHAPTER 18.80 AIRPORT SAFETY COMBINING ZONE; A-S
18.80.072
In any zone that is overlain by an Airport Safety Combining Zone (AS Zone), the requirements and standards of DCC 18.80.010 shall apply in addition to those specified in the ordinance for the underlying zone. If a conflict in regulations or standards occurs, the more restrictive provisions shall govern.
The purpose of the AS Zone is to restrict incompatible land uses and airspace obstructions around airports in an effort to maintain an airport’s maximum benefit. The imaginary surfaces and zones; boundaries and their use limitations comprise the AS Zone. Any uses permitted outright or by conditional use in the underlying zone are allowed except as provided for in DCC 18.80.044, 18.80.050, 18.80.054, 18.80.056 and 18.80.058. The protection of each airport’s imaginary surfaces will be accomplished through the use of those land use controls deemed necessary to protect the community it serves. Incompatible uses may include the height of trees, buildings, structures or other items and uses that would be subject to frequent aircraft over-flight or might intrude into areas used by aircraft.

or Sisters Urban Growth Boundaries. The Redmond Airport is owned and operated by the City of Redmond, and located wholly within the Redmond City Limits.
Imaginary surface dimensions vary for each airport covered by DCC 18.80.020. Based on the classification of each individual airport, only those portions (of the AS Zone) that overlay existing County zones are relevant.
Public use airports covered by DCC 18.80.020 include Redmond Municipal, Bend Municipal, Sunriver and Sisters Eagle Air. Although it is a public-use airport, due to its size and other factors, the County treats land uses surrounding the Sisters Eagle Air Airport based on the ORS 836.608 requirements for private-use airports. The Oregon Department of Aviation is still studying what land use requirements will ultimately be applied to Sisters. However, contrary to the requirements of ORS 836.608, as will all publicuse airports, federal law requires that the FAA Part 77 surfaces must be applied. The private-use airports covered by DCC 18.80.020 include Cline Falls Airpark and Juniper Airpark.

18.80.022 Definitions
A Aircraft. Helicopters and airplanes, but not hot air balloons or ultralights. (Balloons are governed by FAR Part 30, and ultralights by FAR Part 103. Ultralights are basically unregulated by the FAA.)
B. Airport. The strip of land used for taking off and landing aircraft, together with all adjacent land used in connection with the aircraft landing or taking off from the strip of land, including but not limited to land used for existing airport uses.
C Airport Direct Impact Area. The area located within 5,000 feet of an airport runway, excluding lands within the runway protection zone and approach surface. (Redmond, Bend, and Sunriver)
D Airport Elevation. The highest point of an airport's usable runway, measured in feet above mean sea level.
E. Airport Imaginary Surfaces (and zones). Imaginary areas in space and on the ground that are established in relation to the airport and its runways.
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver and Sisters airports, the imaginary surfaces are defined by the primary surface, runway protection zone, approach surface, horizontal surface, conical surface and transitional surface.
For the Cline Falls and Juniper airports, the imaginary areas are only defined by the primary surface and approach surface.
F Airport Noise Criterion. The State criterion for airport noise is an Average Day-Night Sound Level (DNL) of 55 decibels (dBA). The Airport Noise Criterion is not designed to be a standard for imposing liability or any other legal obligation except as specifically designated pursuant to OAR 340, Division 35.
G Airport Noise Impact Boundary. Areas located within 1,500 feet of an airport runway or within established noise contour boundaries exceeding 55 DNL.
H. Airport Safety Combining Zone (AS Zone). A Deschutes County zone intended to place additional land use conditions on land impacted by the airport while retaining the existing underlying zone. The airport imaginary surfaces, impact areas, boundaries and their use limitations comprise the AS Zone. The AS Zone may apply to either public-use or private-use airports.
I Airport Secondary Impact Area. The area located between 5,000 and 10,000 feet from an airport runway. (Redmond, Bend, and Sunriver)
J Airport Sponsor. The owner, manager, or other person or entity designated to represent the interests of an airport.
K Airport Uses. Those uses described in OAR 660-013-0100 and 660-013-0110.
L Approach Surface. A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extending outward and upward from each end of the primary surface.
For Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports:
1 The inner edge of the approach surface is the same width as the primary surface and it expands uniformly to a width of:
a 1,250 feet for a utility runway having a visual approach;
b 1,500 feet for other than a utility runway having a visual approach;
c 2,000 feet for a utility runway having a non-precision instrument approach;
d 3,500 feet for a non-precision instrument runway, other than utility, having visibility minimums greater than three-fourths statute mile;
e 4,000 feet for a non-precision instrument runway, other than utility, having visibility minimums at or below three-fourths statute mile; and
f. 16,000 feet for precision instrument runways.
2 The approach surface extends for a horizontal distance of
a. 5,000 feet at a slope of 20 feet outward for each foot upward for all utility runways;
b. 10,000 feet at a slope of 34 feet outward for each foot upward for all non-precision instrument runways, other than utility; and
c 10,000 feet at a slope of 50 feet outward for each one foot upward, with an additional 40,000 feet at slope of 40 feet outward for each one foot upward, for precision instrument runways.
3 The outer width of an approach surface will be that width prescribed in DCC 18.80.022(L) (3) for the most precise approach existing or planned for that runway end.
For the Cline Falls and Juniper airports:
4 The inner edge of the approach surface is the same width as the primary surface and it expands uniformly to a width of 450 feet for that end of a private use airport with only visual approaches. The approach surface extends for a horizontal distance of 2,500 feet at a slope of 20 feet outward for each one foot upward.
M. Average Day-Night Sound Level (DNL). Average day-night sound level is the FAA standard measure for determining the cumulative exposure of individuals to noise. DNL is the equivalent of noise levels produced by aircraft operations during a 24-hour period, with a ten-decibel penalty applied to the level measured during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 am).
N. Conical Surface. An element of the airport imaginary surfaces that extends outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20:1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet and to a vertical height of 350 feet above the airport elevation.

U. Horizontal Surface. A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway of each airport and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. The radius of each arc is:
1. 5,000 feet for all runways designated as utility.
2. 10,000 feet for all other runways.
3 The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value. That value will be the highest determined for either end of the runway. When a 5,000-foot arc is encompassed by tangents connecting two adjacent 10,000-foot arcs, the 5,000-foot arc shall be disregarded on the construction of the perimeter of the horizontal surface.
V Non-precision Instrument Runway. A runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities with only horizontal guidance, or area type navigation equipment, for which a straight-in non-precision instrument approach has been approved, or planned, and for which no precision approach facilities are planned or indicated on an FAA-approved airport layout plan or other FAA planning document.
W. Non-Towered Airport. An airport without an existing or approved control tower.
X Obstruction. Any structure or tree, plant or other object of natural growth that penetrates an imaginary surface.

Z Precision Instrument Runway. A runway having an existing instrument approach procedure utilizing air navigation facilities that provide both horizontal and vertical guidance, such as an Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Precision Approach Radar (PAR). It also means a runway for which a precision approach system is planned and is so indicated by an FAA-approved airport layout plan or other FAA planning document.
AA Primary Surface. A surface longitudinally centered on a runway.
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, when a runway has a specially prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that runway. When a runway has no specially prepared hard surface, or planned hard surface, the primary surface ends at each end of that runway. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline. The width of the primary surface is:
1 250 feet for utility runways with only visual approaches,
2 500 feet for utility runways having non-precision instrument approaches,
3 500 feet for other than utility runways having non-precision instrument approaches with visibility minimums greater than three-fourths statute mile, and
4 1,000 feet for non-precision instrument runways with visibility minimums at or below threefourths statute mile, and for precision instrument runways.

18.80.030 Redmond Municipal Airport
The Redmond Municipal Airport is a Category 1, Commercial Service Airport. Its function is to accommodate scheduled major/national or regional commuter commercial air carrier service. The two approximately 7,040' long by 100’-150' wide, “other than utility” paved runways are located at an elevation of 3,077’. The proposed extension to runway 4-22 and the planned new parallel runway are both identified on the FAA-adopted Airport Layout Plan. Therefore, these improvements are used in the layout of the Airport Safety Combining Zone. The same safety zone dimensional standards used for Runway 4-22 will also apply to the planned parallel runway.
A Primary Surface - For Redmond, the primary surfaces are 1,000' wide by 7,440' long for Runway 10-28, 1,000’ wide by 9,100’ long for Runway 4-22, and 1,000’ wide by 7,400’ long for the proposed new parallel runway.
B Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) - Two different RPZs apply to the Redmond Airport because it has a total of three potential runways with two possible approaches. Runway 4-22 and the planned parallel runway will both have precision approaches. Runway 10-28 has a non-precision approach on each end. The precision RPZ forms a 1,000' wide by 2,500' long by 1,750' wide trapezoid while the non-precision RPZ forms a 500' wide by 1,700' long by 1,010' wide trapezoid.
C Approach Surface - The current ILS precision approach surface to runway 22, and the planned precision approaches to Runway 4 and future parallel runway 4-22, are 1,000' wide by 50,000' long by 16,000' wide, with an upward approach slope ratio of 50:1(one foot vertical for each 50 feet horizontal) for the first 10,000’, then a slope ratio of 40:1 for the remaining 40,000’. The nonprecision approach surface is 500' wide by 10,000' long by 3,500' wide, with an upward approach slope ratio of 34:1.
D Horizontal Surface - The surface boundary is comprised of connected arcs drawn 10,000 feet outward and centered on the ends of the primary surface. The elevation of the horizontal surface for the Redmond Airport is 3,227 feet.

18.80.044 Land Use Compatibility
Applications for land use or building permits for properties within the boundaries of this overlay zone shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 as provided herein. When compatibility issues arise, the Planning Director or Hearings Body is required to take actions that eliminate or minimize the incompatibility by choosing the most compatible location or design for the boundary or use. Where compatibility issues persist, despite actions or conditions intended to eliminate or minimize the incompatibility, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may disallow the use or expansion, except where the action results in loss of current operational levels and/or the ability of the airport to grow to meet future community needs. Reasonable conditions to protect the public safety may be imposed by the Planning Director or Hearings Body. [ORS 836.619; ORS 836.623(1); OAR 660-013-0080]
A. Noise. Within airport noise impact boundaries, land uses shall be established consistent with the levels identified in OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 5 (Table 2 of DCC 18.80). Applicants for any subdivision or partition approval or other land use approval or building permit affecting land within airport noise impact boundaries, shall sign and record in the Deschutes County Book of Records, a Declaration of Anticipated Noise declaring that the applicant and his successors will not now, or in the future complain about the allowed airport activities at the adjacent airport. In areas where the noise level is anticipated to be at or above 55 DNL, prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of a noise sensitive land use (real property normally used for sleeping or as a school, religious institutions or assemblies, hospital, public library or similar use), the permit applicant shall be required to demonstrate that a noise abatement strategy will be incorporated into the building design that will achieve an indoor noise level equal to or less than 55 DNL. [NOTE: FAA Order 5100.38D provides that interior noise levels should not exceed 45 decibels in all habitable zones.]
B. Outdoor lighting. No new or expanded industrial, commercial or recreational use shall project lighting directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into existing airport approach surfaces except where necessary for safe and convenient air travel. Lighting for these uses shall incorporate shielding in their designs to reflect light away from airport approach surfaces. No use
shall imitate airport lighting or impede the ability of pilots to distinguish between airport lighting and other lighting.
C. Glare. No glare producing material, including but not limited to unpainted metal or reflective glass, shall be used on the exterior of structures located within an approach surface or on nearby lands where glare could impede a pilot's vision.
D Industrial emissions. No new industrial, mining or similar use, or expansion of an existing industrial, mining or similar use, shall, as part of its regular operations, cause emissions of smoke, dust or steam that could obscure visibility within airport approach surfaces, except upon demonstration, supported by substantial evidence, that mitigation measures imposed as approval conditions will reduce the potential for safety risk or incompatibility with airport operations to an insignificant level. The review authority shall impose such conditions as necessary to ensure that the use does not obscure visibility.
E Communications Facilities and Electrical Interference. No use shall cause or create electrical interference with navigational signals or radio communications between an airport and aircraft. Proposals for the location of new or expanded radio, radiotelephone, and television transmission facilities and electrical transmission lines within this overlay zone shall be coordinated with the Department of Aviation and the FAA prior to approval. Approval of cellular and other telephone or radio communication towers on leased property located within airport imaginary surfaces shall be conditioned to require their removal within 90 days following the expiration of the lease agreement. A bond or other security shall be required to ensure this result.
F. Limitations and Restrictions on Allowed Uses in the RPZ, Transitional Surface, Approach Surface, and Airport Direct and Secondary Impact Areas.
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, the land uses identified in DCC 18.80 Table 1, and their accessory uses, are permitted, permitted under limited circumstances, or prohibited in the manner therein described. In the event of conflict with the underlying zone, the more restrictive provisions shall control. As used in DCC 18.80.044, a limited use means a use that is allowed subject to special standards specific to that use.

18.80.072 Water Impoundments
Any use or activity that would result in the establishment or expansion of a water impoundment shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80.072. (ORS 836.623(2); OAR 660-013-0080(1)(f)]
A No new or expanded water impoundments of one-quarter acre in size or larger are permitted:
1. Within an approach surface and within 5,000 feet from the end of a runway; or
2. On land owned by the airport sponsor that is necessary for airport operations.
B New or expanded water impoundments of one-quarter acre in size or larger are permitted:
1 Within 10,000 feet from the end or edge of a runway (outside an approach surface), or
2 Between 5,000 feet and 40,000 feet within an approach surface for an airport with a precision instrument approach, unless Deschutes County first adopts findings of fact, supported by substantial evidence in the record, that the impoundments are likely to result in a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in
areas across the runways or approach corridors.
[NOTE: FAA Part 77 discourages water impoundments within 50,000 feet of a runway, within an approach surface.] [ORS 836.623(2)(c); OAR 660, Division 13, Exhibit 1, Section 3(b)(C)]
C Process. An application for approval of a new water impoundment shall be considered utilizing the review process applied to applications for conditional use permits. In addition to the parties required by law to be mailed written notice of the public hearing on the application, written notice of the hearing shall be mailed to the airport sponsor, the Seattle Airports District Office of the FAA, the FAA's technical representative, and the Oregon Department of Aviation.
1. Prior to filing its application, the applicant shall coordinate with the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA (Seattle Airports District Office) and FAA's technical representative regarding the proposed water impoundment, its short and long term potential to significantly increase hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces, and proposed mitigation.
a For water impoundments individually or cumulatively exceeding five acres in size on the subject property, the applicant shall prepare a draft bird strike study as provided in DCC 18.80.072(C)(1)(a). The airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative shall have 45 days to review the study draft. Their comments shall be included and addressed in a final bird strike study.
b. For water impoundments that do not individually or cumulatively exceed five acres in size on the subject property, the bird strike study requirements in DCC 18.80.072(B)(2) may be reduced or waived upon agreement by the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative if the applicant can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative that the proposed water impoundment, with appropriate short and long term mitigation, will not result in a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces. As used herein, "appropriate mitigation" means small-scale measures of proven reliability that can be applied in perpetuity and that the applicant has the financial resources to support.
c. An application shall not be deemed complete for land use review purposes until the applicant has filed with the Director the final bird strike study addressing comments from the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. When no bird strike study is required, the application shall not be deemed complete until the applicant has filed with the Director correspondence or other proof demonstrating agreement among the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative that no bird strike study is required.
2 Bird Strike Study. A bird strike study required under DCC 18.80.072 shall contain at least the following information:
a. A description of the proposed project, its location in relation to the airport, and the bird strike study area, which shall include at least the project site, the airport property, all lands within 10,000 feet from the end or edge of the airport runway, and other surrounding habitat areas which form the local bird ecosystem.
b. A description of bird feeding, watering and roosting habitats in the bird strike study area, including discussion of feeding behavior and food sources and identification of loafing, watering, roosting and nesting area locations.
c A description of existing and planned airport operations and air traffic patterns and any available history of bird strike incidents.
d Wildlife surveys and documentation of existing bird species, populations, activities and flight patterns in the bird strike study area. The surveys shall address bird species and their composition; bird population estimates and densities per unit area; feeding behavior; food sources; seasonal use patterns; frequency of occurrence; location of loafing, roosting and nesting areas; and analysis of the relation of bird flight movements to airport traffic patterns and navigational safety. The airport sponsor shall provide approach and departure air space information up to five statutory miles from the airport.
e. An evaluation of the anticipated effects of the proposal on the population density, behavior patterns, movements and species composition of birds within the bird strike study area and of the impact of these effects on air navigation and safety considering possible mitigation.
f Identification and evaluation of proposed and alternative short and long term mitigation measures that would prevent a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces that otherwise might result from the proposed use. The evaluation shall discuss the proven reliability of proposed measures, their effectiveness over both the short and long term, their costs, and the applicant's financial ability to assure their perpetual implementation, i.e. ongoing implementation for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists.
g. Such other information as is recommended by the FAA's technical representative or is required to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of DCC 18.80.072(C)(3).
3 Required Findings. The determination whether a proposed new water impoundment, with reasonable and practicable mitigation measures, is likely to significantly increase hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways or approach surfaces shall be based upon the proposal's potential, both in the short term and in the long term, to significantly increase bird strike hazards to air navigation, and the appropriateness, effectiveness and affordability of proposed mitigation measures or other conditions needed to reduce bird strike hazards. In determining compliance with this standard, the findings shall address each of the following factors:
a The demonstrated overall effectiveness and reliability of proposed measures and conditions, in both the short and long term and under similar circumstances and conditions, to avoid a significant increase in bird strike hazards to air navigation. Experimental measures or measures not based on accepted technology and industry practices shall be considered ineffective, inappropriate and of unproven reliability.
b The economic, social and environmental impacts of proposed measures to the neighboring community and the affected natural environment.
c The applicant's ability to pay for necessary short and long-term mitigation measures, including fallback measures that may be required if initially proposed mitigation measures prove ineffective, and to assure the perpetual implementation of those measures for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists. An applicant's failure to demonstrate its financial ability to assure the perpetual implementation of necessary and appropriate measures shall render those measures unreasonable and impracticable for purposes of the application.
d The applicant's ability to accurately monitor the effectiveness of mitigation over time.
HISTORY
e The potential impacts to navigational safety and air travel if the applicant cannot perform necessary mitigation measures or maintain those measures in perpetuity, or if those measures prove to be ineffective at avoiding a significant increase in bird strike hazards to air navigation.
f. The applicant's reclamation plan.
4 Mitigation Measures and Approval Conditions. A decision approving an application shall require, as conditions of approval, all measures and conditions deemed appropriate and necessary to prevent in perpetuity a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces.
a Only customary measures based on accepted technology and industry practice may be considered and imposed as approval conditions.
b Serious consideration shall be given to all measures and conditions recommended by the Department of Aviation and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. Generally, such measures and conditions shall be attached to a decision approving an application unless findings are adopted, supported by substantial evidence, demonstrating why such measures and conditions are not necessary to reduce bird hazard impacts resulting from the water impoundment to an insignificant level.
c A decision to approve shall require from the applicant a performance bond or other form of secure financial support. Such bond or security shall be in an amount sufficient to assure perpetual implementation of appropriate and necessary mitigation measures for as long as a potential bird strike hazard persists.
d A decision to approve shall require appropriate monitoring of the effectiveness of mitigation over time. Upon request, monitoring data and reports shall be made available to the airport sponsor, the Department of Aviation, and the FAA and FAA's technical representative. The decision shall allow for modifications to approval conditions should existing mitigation measures prove ineffective at preventing a significant increase in hazardous movements of birds feeding, watering or roosting in areas across runways and approach surfaces. Modifications to approval conditions shall be considered utilizing the review process applied to applications for conditional use permits.
5 Exemptions. The requirements of DCC 18.80.072 shall not apply to:

18.80.078 FAA Notification (Form 7460-1)
A Federal and State Notice.
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 requires that anyone proposing to construct anything which may obstruct the use of airspace by aircraft to provide a notice to that effect to the FAA. In
addition, OAR 738.070.0060 requires notice also be sent to the Oregon Department of Aviation. Generally, construction proposals in the vicinity of airports may obstruct airspace. Notice to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation is required for anything which may affect landing areas, either existing or planned, which are open to the public, or are operated by one of the armed forces.
B FAA Form 7460-1 "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration" is the notification form. It is to be submitted by the applicant directly to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation. Forms are available from the Oregon Department of Aviation or the Northwest Regional Office of the FAA.
C. FAA Form 7460-1 should be submitted if the proposed construction or alteration meets the following criteria:
1. Anything over 200' AGL (above ground level at the site).
2. Proposals in the vicinity of an airport, if the proposal would be higher than a slope from the nearest point on a runway and increasing its elevation at a ratio of:
Longest Runway Proximity to Runway Slope > 3,200’ Within 20,000’ 100 to 1 3,200’ or less Within 10,000’ 50 to 1
For a Heliport Within 5,000’ 25 to 1
D For identification purposes, Deschutes County has established FAA Notification Areas around each of the public use airports within Deschutes County. The boundaries of these areas are based on the runway length. If a proposed construction project is located in one of these areas, the applicant shall determine if the height of the proposed project will require FAA notification as per DCC 18.80.076(C). In Deschutes County, each of the public-use airports has a runway longer than 3,200 feet. Therefore, each FAA notification area includes all land within 20,000 feet of each airport’s runway(s), and the slope to be used is 100 to 1.
E FAA notification is NOT required for any of the following construction or alteration:
1 Any object that would be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and substantial character or by natural terrain or topographic features of equal or greater height, and would be located in the congested area of a city, town, or settlement where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure so shielded will not adversely affect safety in air navigation.
2. Any antenna structure of 20 feet or less in height except one that would increase the height of another antenna structure.
3. Any air navigation facility, airport visual approach or landing aid, aircraft arresting device, or meteorological device, of a type approved by the Administrator, or an appropriate military service on military airports, the location and height of which is fixed by its functional purpose.
4. Any construction or alteration for which notice is required by any other FAA regulation.

18.84.080 Design Review Standards
The following standards will be used to evaluate the proposed site plan:
A. Except as necessary for construction of access roads, building pads, septic drainfields, public utility easements, parking areas, etc., the existing tree and shrub cover screening the development from the designated road, river, or stream shall be retained. This provision does not prohibit maintenance of existing lawns, removal of dead, diseased or hazardous vegetation; the commercial harvest of forest products in accordance with the Oregon Forest Practices Act, or agricultural use of the land.
B It is recommended that new structures and additions to existing structures be finished in muted earth tones that blend with and reduce contrast with the surrounding vegetation and landscape of the building site.
C No large areas, including roofs, shall be finished with white, bright or reflective materials. Roofing, including metal roofing, shall be non-reflective and of a color which blends with the surrounding vegetation and landscape. DCC 18.84.080(C) shall not apply to attached additions to structures lawfully in existence on April 8, 1992, unless substantial improvement to the roof of the existing structure occurs.
D Subject to applicable rimrock setback requirements or rimrock setback exception standards in DCC 18. 84.090(E), all structures shall be sited to take advantage of existing vegetation, trees and topographic features in order to reduce visual impact as seen from the designated road, river or stream. When more than one nonagricultural structure is to exist and no vegetation, trees or topographic features exist which can reduce visual impact of the subject structure, such structure shall be clustered in a manner which reduces their visual impact as seen from the designated road, river, or stream.
E Structures shall not exceed 30 feet in height measured from the natural grade on the side(s) facing the road, river or stream. Within the LM Zone along a state scenic waterway or federal wild and scenic river, the height of a structure shall include chimneys, antennas, flag poles or other projections from the roof of the structure. DCC 18.84.080(E) shall not apply to agricultural structures located at least 50 feet from a rimrock.
F. New residential or commercial driveway access to designated landscape management roads shall be consolidated wherever possible.
G. New exterior lighting, including security lighting, shall be sited and shielded so that it is directed downward and is not directly visible from the designated road, river or stream.
H The Planning Director or Hearings Body may require the establishment of introduced landscape material to screen the development, assure compatibility with existing vegetation, reduce glare, direct automobile and pedestrian circulation or enhance the overall appearance of the development while not interfering with the views of oncoming traffic at access points, or views of mountains, forests and other open and scenic areas as seen from the designated landscape management road, river or stream. Use of native species shall be encouraged. (Formerly section 18.84.080 (C))
I No signs or other forms of outdoor advertising that are visible from a designated landscape management river or stream shall be permitted. Property protection signs (No Trespassing, No Hunting, etc.,) are permitted.
J. A conservation easement as defined in DCC 18.04.030 "Conservation Easement" and specified in DCC 18.116.220 shall be required as a condition of approval for all landscape management site plans involving property adjacent to the Deschutes River, Crooked River, Fall River, Little Deschutes River, Spring River, Whychus Creek and Tumalo Creek. Conservation easements required as a condition of landscape management site plans shall not require public access.

18.84.090 Setbacks
A. Except as provided in DCC 18.84.090, minimum setbacks shall be those established in the underlying zone with which the LM Zone is combined.
B Road Setbacks. All new structures or additions to existing structures on lots fronting a designated landscape management road shall be set back at least 100 feet from the edge of the designated road right-of-way unless the Planning Director or Hearings Body finds that:
1. A location closer to the designated road would more effectively screen the building from the road; or protect a distant vista; or
2 The depth of the lot makes a 100-foot setback not feasible; or
3. Buildings on both lots abutting the subject lot have front yard setbacks of less than 100 feet and the adjacent buildings are within 100 feet of the lot line of the subject property, and the depth of the front yard is not less than the average depth of the front yards of the abutting lots.
If the above findings are made, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may approve a less restrictive front yard setback which will be appropriate to carry out the purpose of the zone.
C. River and Stream Setbacks. All new structures or additions to existing structures shall be set back 100 feet from the ordinary high water mark of designated streams and rivers or obtain a setback exception in accordance with DCC 18.120.030. For the purpose of DCC 18.84.090, decks are considered part of a structure and must conform with the setback requirement.
The placement of on-site sewage disposal systems shall be subject to joint review by the Planning Director or Hearings Body and the Deschutes County Environmental Health Division. The placement of such systems shall minimize the impact on the vegetation along the river and shall allow a dwelling to be constructed on the site as far from the stream or lake as possible. Sand filter systems may be required as replacement systems when this will allow a dwelling to be located further from the stream or to meet the 100-foot setback requirement
D Rimrock Setback. New structures (including decks or additions to existing structures) shall be set back 50 feet from the rimrock in an LM Zone. An exception to this setback may be granted pursuant to the provisions of DCC 18.84.090(E).
E. Rimrock Setback Exceptions. An exception to the 50-foot rimrock setback may be granted by the Planning Director or Hearings Body, subject to the following standards and criteria.
1 An exception shall be granted when the Planning Director or Hearings Body finds that:
a. A lesser setback will make the structure less visible or completely screened from the river or stream; or
b The subject lot or parcel was a lot of record prior to the adoption of this ordinance; or
c Dwellings (including decks) on both lots or parcels abutting the subject lot within 50 feet of the rimrock and the adjacent buildings are within 100 feet of the lot line of the subject property; or
d Adherence to the 50-foot setback would prevent the structure from being sited on the lot.
HISTORY
2 A dwelling qualifying for a rimrock setback exception under the criteria set forth in the above shall be located as follows:
a The structure shall be designed and sited to minimize the visual impact when viewed from the ordinary high water mark on the far side of the river. This shall be determined by viewing the property from the ordinary high water mark immediately across from the center of the river frontage on which the structure is proposed with like evaluations being made 300 feet upstream and downstream on either side of that point over the entire length of river frontage on which the structure is proposed.
b. Existing trees and shrubs which reduce the visibility of the proposed structure shall be retained.
c The height of the structure shall not exceed the setback from the edge of the rimrock, except as described in the exception section (f), below.
d No structure (including decks) shall be located closer than 20 feet from the edge of the rimrock unless the Planning Director or Hearings Body finds that the lesser setback will make the structure less visible or the structure is completely screened from the river or stream except as described in the exception section (f), below.
e Where multiple nonagricultural structures are proposed on a lot or parcel, the structures shall be grouped or clustered so as to maintain a general appearance of open landscape for the affected area. This shall require a maintenance of at least 65 percent open space along rimrocks within subject lots or parcels.
f Exception: For vacant lots or parcels less than one-half acre, existing prior to the adoption of Ordinance 92.034, with undulating rimrock, and where there are lawfully established residences within 100 feet of the lot line on the subject property on both of the abutting lots with rimrock setbacks less than the depth required in section (d) above, the residential structure setback shall meet the following criteria:
(1) The setback shall be the average distance between the abutting houses as measured from the subject lot’s front yard line to the furthest point of each abutting home facing the river or stream.
(2) The height of the structure shall not exceed the height of the tallest abutting residence and in no case shall exceed 24 feet high, except for chimneys.
(3) The highest ridgeline shall slope up and away from, and run parallel with, the river or stream.
(4) Dormers are prohibited on the riverside or streamside of the residence and allowed on the street-side of the residence with the height not exceeding the height of the ridgeline.
(5) The setback for decks on the rimrock side of the dwelling shall be the average of the decks on the abutting lots or parcels as measured from the front yard line of the subject property and in no case shall extend and protrude over the rimrock.
