Map of Tumalo Commercial District

Proposal Summary

The applicant proposes amendments to Chapter 18.67 of Deschutes County Code, to allow a recreational vehicle (RV) park as a conditional use in the Tumalo Commercial District. The proposed Code language includes the following requirements for siting an RV park:

  • The area of the parcel(s) proposed for development of an RV park shall be two to five acres in size.
  • The parcel(s) must be located in a sewer district.
  • The parcel, at least one of the contiguous parcels under common ownership, must be adjacent to Highway 20.

The applicant also proposes to provide an exception to DCC 18.128.170(O), so that an RV park does not need to be accessed by an arterial or collector street. The amendments are limited to the Tumalo Commercial District and, as proposed, do not modify the requirements for RV parks in other zones. 

Location

The proposal applies to the Tumalo Commercial District, which is located in the unincorporated community of Tumalo.

Proposal Status

A public hearing was held before a Hearings Officer on June 16th. Following the hearing, the written record was left open until July 28th for additional evidence and testimony to be submitted. The Hearings Officer's recommendation has not been issued yet, and a notice will be mailed out when it is issued. After the Hearings Officer issues their recommendation, this will go to the Board of County Commissioners and they will issue a decision.
