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.
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 streetside 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.

Safe & Welcoming Environment
Our school strives to ensure all students and their parents feel welcome to our school. We have routines and procedures in place that encourage parents to be a part of the educational process for their students while still maintaining a safe and secure building. We have bilingual staff in our office and building who collaborate to support our Spanish speaking families. As a Leader in Me school (a program with the highest CASEL ratings), Socio Emotional Learning (SEL) is a priority, and we provide daily instruction and reinforcement in helping our students learn to be accepting and welcoming to all.

To ensure a safe and secure learning environment for all students, our school implements a PBIS plan aligned to Leader in Me and a safety plan. Our administration, counselor, teachers and school staff work with parents and students on a case-by-case basis to address conflict between students and to provide counseling and instruction in positive peer relationships. Our counselor and teachers provide regular, systematic Socio Emotional Learning (SEL) instruction that includes the topics of bullying and harassment. We have begun our Leader in Me journey this year, a program (with the highest CASEL rating) as a vehicle to increase our efficacy in ensuring that all of our students belong. Students who display positive choices are recognized for their efforts.
It is the goal of Sisters Elementary School to develop each child to their fullest potential. To accomplish this goal we provide each student with the opportunity to explore multiple disciplines that help them discover and understand their unique interests and abilities. We partner with community organizations to provide activities within the STEAM umbrella in addition to regularly offered music, physical education, STEM, art and Socio Emotional Learning (SEL). This year we will begin regularly offering in-school club opportunities for our students to help them pursue their interests and passions.
We value our parents as collaborators and partners. We have an active SPTC (Sisters Parent Teacher Community) that hosts a variety of well-attended curriculum nights throughout the year to engage families with the school. Additionally they sponsor three service projects offering our students ways to give back to their community. Annually our students showcase their art to our community, and every student participates in grade level and school-wide musical performances.
Sister School District in conjunction with community partners also hosts Latinx Family nights, where parent voices are elevated and valued.

DAY USE OF USFS TRAILS
Always use good judgement when using or traveling over trails and roads. Some are not maintained and may be hazardous. Weather and other conditions can change without notice, so carry clothing for rain and cold temperatures. Always carry adequate water for all hikes and never drink trailside water from lakes and streams unless marked “potable” by the Forest Service. Food, matches, rst-aid kit, ashlight, compass and maps are also essential. Deschutes and Willamette National Forest Maps, the McKenzie River National Recreation Trail Map , and the Three Sisters, Mt. Washington, and Mt. Je erson Wilderness maps are available at Forest Service Stations. Mosquito repellent should also be carried along in late spring and summer months. As a safety precaution, always let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. Dogs should be on a leash or controlled by voice command. Be sure to have appropriate parking and trail permits for speci c destinations. The Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce and its members are not responsible for losses or injuries incurred when utilizing this information.
Wilderness Areas and US Forest Service Land Uses
Wilderness Areas have a delicate state of natural balance. Careless acts by people can upset this balance, resulting in destruction of the wilderness environment. The following practices will help preserve the wilderness for everyone’s enjoyment.
1. Travel to avoid impacts: When using trails go single le in the middle of the trail. Avoid making new or multiple trails
2. Water: protect water by washing at least 200 feet from water sources using biodegradable soaps. In addition, keep food and garbage out of lakes, rivers and streams.
3. Human Waste: Always bury human waste and toilet paper in a 6 inch deep hole.
4. Make and Leave a No-Trace Camp: Camp on durable or already impacted sites. Pick up every trace of litter. Make only small res. Erase all signs of re. Pack out all trash, yours and others, especially tin foil.
5. Dogs: please keep your dog under control at all times.
6. Obey all signs: the signs posted are there for the protection and safety of the land, animals and humans.
7. Permits: be sure to carry appropriate parking, wilderness, snow park or State Park permits as required for the location.
8. Cell phone coverage can be spotty in some areas, such as the Metolius Basin. Do not depend on cell phones; plan ahead for emergencies.
The US Congress de nes Wilderness as: A Wilderness, in contrast with areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. Back country ethics are important in keeping Wilderness wild. Minimum impact hiking and camping are vital to help preserve and protect natural features we all seek.

Welcome to Central Oregon
Where the commute times are short and breathtaking views await you at every turn. The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties.
Located halfway between San Francisco and Seattle, one of the hottest small metropolitan markets in the U.S. is Central Oregon. In the last decade the region has seen some of the highest sustained GDP growth, job growth and population growth. With these factors in mind, The Milken Institute has named the region the best small metropolitan in the nation four years in a row – an unprecedented feat no other location has ever received.
Central Oregon is pulling extraordinary talent and capital, fostering a diverse and highly entrepreneurial business ecosystem. Deschutes County received the most investment in Oregon in 2022, according to Smartasset. Lured by natural scenic beauty and big city amenities without big city costs or hassle, people are learning that having a true work-life balance is possible. Employees are happier and companies are more innovative and capital-efficient. All in a region dominated by small to mid-sized firms that compete globally – and win.
CENTRAL OREGON OVERVIEW
Regional Population: 253,761
(2021 estimates from Portland State University)
Regional Labor Force: 123,953
(Seasonally adjusted total for 2021 from Oregon Employment Department)
Bend-Redmond MSA GDP Per Capita: $54,390
(2020 estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis)
*Bureau of Economic Analysis data is only available for the Bend-Redmond MSA
Access to and from our region has never been easier with five national carriers flying up to 54 segments daily to nine international airports. Central Oregon is served by one of the most vibrant and successful regional airports in the country at Redmond (RDM).
Central Oregon has been among the fastest growing regions anywhere in the U.S.
In-migration has been the dominating factor in the region’s growth. With millions of visitors annually, Central Oregon continues to attract thousands of new residents from all over the country each year for it’s outdoor amenities, arts and culture opportunities, quality healthcare, and a growing education system.
“Central Oregon’s economic growth is stronger than the state and nation overall. The primary reason is the high quality of life that attracts new residents. Faster population growth means local businesses can hire and expand at a faster rate due to the influx of working-age migrants and the growing labor force.”
Josh Lehner Economist, Oregon Office of Economic AnalysisNEW RESIDENTS, NEW IDEAS & NEW ENERGY
#1 TOP 10 COOLEST PLACES TO GO IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS
With over 4.5 million visitors flocking to Central Oregon each year, it proves a great introduction to our region’s culture, lifestyle and a great first impression for businesses. Central Oregon and the Bend-Redmond MSA continually top the nation in population growth. In fact, Bend has been among the 15 fastest growing cities in the U.S. five of the last six years. While our population grows, so does our workforce. We’re cultivating a community that has consciously decided to live here and attracting new talent pools to serve the increasing demand for labor.

MOVE
Business Cost Comparison
Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector* businesses than Washington or California. Even without taking those incentives into consideration, Oregon is still a more cost-effective choice for doing business. Contact EDCO for a detailed look at the business costs in Central Oregon.
*companies that sell their products or services outside the area, bringing new jobs and capital investment to the area
“While our move to Central Oregon may have started for personal reasons, it has allowed us to do more with our business than we thought possible. It has allowed us to hire amazing employees – the available talent here in Central Oregon has proven to be of the highest caliber and chocked full of integrity. Sometimes you feel like you can get lost in a big city. In Sisters we have been able to be part of a growing and nurturing business community.” - Wyatt Woods, President and Owner, Holy Kakow
Case Study: Holy Kakow
Founded in Portland in 2009, Holy Kakow creates premium organic chocolate sauces and syrups that are used in coffee shops across the nation and globe. After running the business for nearly a decade, Founder Wyatt Woods decided a move to the City of Sisters would be beneficial for his family. The next step was to figure out how to move the successful business. After EDCO’s help with site selection, incentives, permitting, and more, Holy Kakow was able to move their operations into a new building in the Sisters Business Park. The relocation allowed them to scale for growth, even during the pandemic, expanding their employment from three to eight in the span of a couple months. Holy Kakow have their sights set on new product launches. With the backing of the community and the growing number of craft food businesses in Sisters, the company is surrounded by a strong business ecosystem to help them succeed.
We guide employers outside the region through the relocation process as a resource for regional data, incentives, talent, site selection, and A-Z problem solving.
RELOCATE & EXPAND
Get connected to our growing industry clusters that include: craft brewing/distilling, bioscience, outdoor products, technology, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
We link you to tools to help your company including: connections to the local supply chain, talent acquisition, incentives, business finance, market intelligence, and more.
WHY CENTRAL OREGON?
Central Oregon offers a pro-business environment with several incentives and supportive business finance options to encourage economic growth. Oregon also allows corporate net operating losses to be carried forward for up to 15 years without a cap, which can meaningfully reduce your business’s tax liability.
We help you navigate the regional and local real estate market, infrastructure and permitting processes.
For businesses looking to relocate, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The region offers a tightknit community without sacrificing talent, education opportunities, or quality healthcare. EDCO’s network can help your business streamline decisions when choosing a new home.
We mentor and advise scalable young companies from concept to exit on issues such as access to capital, critical expertise and business strategy.
“The support we’ve received from EDCO and other organizations has been tremendous and allowed us to grow and develop our network and further develop our business in a short time. Their proactive approach to assisting and encouraging entrepreneurship in this region has been paramount to some of the large strides we’ve taken this year.”
- Ryan Goodwin, Founder & Lead Designer Engineer, SherpTekCase Study: SherpTek
SherpTek was among the first tenants to take occupancy in the redeveloped Woodgrain mill site, re-branded the “Prineville Campus,” where they design and manufacture modular truck bed systems and accessories to improve the functionality and adaptability of pickup trucks for day-to-day use and outdoor adventures.
SherpTek is an innovator in the automotive/outdoor industry. Their Founder and Lead Design Engineer, Ryan Goodwin, uses composite aerospace materials and construction methods to create a lightweight, yet super durable, precision-engineered product. SherpTek was one of Prineville’s first companies to pitch at EDCO’s Central Oregon PubTalk, an event that showcases local entrpreneurs. The company has been and continues to be supported by EDCO as well as many local and State partners in areas such as business financing, incentive utilization, internship coordination, staffing, network connections, scalability, and pitch coaching. Despite having just moved their start-up to Prineville earlier this year, SherpTek has ingrained itself into the entrepreneurial fabric of the region. They are already expanding their manufacturing facilities, hiring additional employees and training local high school students on their specialized processes.
A driving force for our economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. In 2022, AdvisorSmith ranked Bend fifth for Top Midsize Cities where Americans Start the Most Businesses at 3.79 businesses started per 1,000 residents.
The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Unique to Central Oregon, given its size, are the numerous community resources and assets that are available. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts mentorship program and the largest Angel Conference in the PNW, the Bend Venture Conference.

GROW
“Our fagship manufacturing facility is located in Bend, nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountain Range, which also inspired the brand name. The views and outdoor amenities are unmatched, but the entrepreneurial and community support we have received from day one has been the driving factor in bringing our homegrown business sustainable success in Oregon and beyond. Our employees, customers and partners are what make Bend home and inspire continued growth.”
- Affton Coffelt, Founder and CEO, Broken Top BrandsCase Study: Broken Top Brands
