80 AIRPORT SAFETY COMBINING ZONE; A-S
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.
The provisions of DCC 18.80.020 shall only apply to unincorporated areas located under airport imaginary surfaces and zones, including approach surfaces, transitional surfaces, horizontal surfaces, conical surfaces and runway protection zones. While DCC 18.80 identifies dimensions for the entire imaginary surface and zone, parts of the surfaces and/or zones do not apply within the Redmond, Bend 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 public-use 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.
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports, the airport elevation, the airport noise impact boundary, and the location and dimensions of the runway, primary surface, runway protection zone, approach surface, horizontal surface, conical surface and transitional surface shall be delineated for each airport subject to this overlay zone and shall be made part of the official Zoning Map. All lands, waters and airspace, or portions thereof, that are located within these boundaries (including direct and secondary impact boundaries) or surfaces shall be subject to the requirements of this overlay zone.
For the Cline Falls and Juniper airports, The airport elevation, the airport noise impact boundary, and the location and dimensions of the runway, primary surface and approach surface shall be delineated for each private use airport subject to this overlay zone and shall be made part of the official Zoning Map. All lands, waters and airspace, or portions thereof, that are located within these surfaces shall be subject to the requirements of this overlay zone. [ORS 836.608(2), (8); OAR 660-013-0050; OAR 660-013-0070(1)(b); OAR 660-013-0155(2)] [ORS 836.619; OAR 660-013-0040(8); OAR 660-013-0070(1)]
Except as otherwise provided herein, written notice of applications for land use or limited land use decisions, including comprehensive plan or zoning amendments, in an area within this overlay zone, shall be provided to the airport sponsor and the Department of Aviation in the same manner as notice is provided to property owners entitled by law to written notice of land use or limited land use applications. [ORS 836.623(1); OAR 738-100-010; ORS 215.416(6); ORS 227.175(6)]
For the Redmond, Bend, Sunriver, and Sisters airports:
All uses permitted by the underlying zone shall comply with the height limitations in DCC 18.80.028. When height limitations of the underlying zone are more restrictive than those of this overlay zone, the underlying zone height limitations shall control. [ORS 836.619; OAR 660-013-0070]
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 existing “other than utility” paved runways are located at an airport elevation of 3,080.7’. The proposed extension to the primary runway 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 and Combining Zone. The same safety zone dimensional standards used for the primary runway will also apply to the planned parallel runway.
Bend Municipal Airport is a Category 2, Business or High Activity General Aviation Airport. The 5,005 long by 75’ wide paved runway is located at an elevation is 3,453’. Imaginary surface dimensions for the Bend Airport are based on planned improved operational characteristics, and an upgrade from a “utility” to “other than utility” runway, but do not reflect any planned extension to the existing runway.
The Sunriver Airport is a Category 4, Community General Aviation Airport. It is privately owned and open to the public. The 5,500' long by 65' wide paved runway is located at an elevation of 4,155’. The Sunriver Airport imaginary surfaces are based on the existing “utility” runway, not any planned improvements or airport upgrades. If and when planned airport improvements are identified through a master planning process, the County will have the option of adjusting the boundaries of the imaginary surfaces to reflect any planned changes.
The Sisters Eagle Air Airport is a Category 4, Community General Aviation Airport. It is privately owned and open to the public. The 3,550' long by 50' wide paved runway is located at an elevation of 3,165’.
The Cline Falls Airpark is classified by the state as a privately owned, private-use airport that was the base for three or more aircraft as of December 31, 1994. Located at an elevation or 2,920’, the single dirt/turf runway is 3,000’ long by 100’ wide.
The Juniper Airpark is classified by the state as a privately owned, private-use airport that was the base for three or more aircraft as of December 31, 1994. Located at an elevation or 3,490’, the single turf runway is 2,640’ long by 100’ wide.
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] An air traffic control tower, as defined in DCC 18.80.022, is not subject to this section.
Uses permitted conditionally shall be those identified as conditional uses in the underlying zone with which the AS Zone is combined, and shall be subject to all conditions of the underlying zone except as provided in DCC 18.80.044.
As a condition of approval of any conditional use proposed within any AS Zone, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may require:
An applicant seeking a land use or limited land use approval in an area within this overlay zone shall provide the following information in addition to any other information required in the permit application:
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)]

Notes for Table 1: 1. No structures shall be allowed within the Runway Protection Zone. Exceptions shall be made only for structures accessory to airport operations whose location within the RPZ has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. 2. In the RPZ, public airport uses are restricted to those uses and facilities that require location in the RPZ. 3. Farming practices that minimize wildlife attractants are encouraged. 4. Roads and parking areas are permitted in the RPZ only upon demonstration that there are no practicable alternatives. Lights, guardrails and related accessory structures are prohibited. Cost may be considered in determining whether practicable alternatives exist. 5. In the RPZ, utilities, power lines and pipelines must be underground. In approach surfaces and in airport direct and secondary impact areas, the proposed height of utilities shall be coordinated with the airport sponsor and the Department of Aviation. 6. Public assembly facilities are prohibited within the RPZ. 7. Golf courses may be permitted only upon demonstration, supported by substantial evidence, that management techniques will be utilized to reduce existing wildlife attractants and avoid the creation of new wildlife attractants. Such techniques shall be required as conditions of approval. Structures are not permitted within the RPZ. For purposes of DCC 18.80, tee markers, tee signs, pin cups and pins are not considered to be structures. 8. Within 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a non-precision instrument runway, and within 50,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a precision instrument runway. 9. Public assembly facilities may be allowed in an approach surface only if the potential danger to public safety is minimal. In determining whether a proposed use is appropriate, consideration shall be given to: proximity to the RPZ; density of people per acre; frequency of use; level of activity at the airport; and other factors relevant to public safety. In general, high-density uses should not be permitted within airport approach surfaces, and non-residential structures should be located outside approach surfaces unless no practicable alternatives exist. 10. Residential densities within approach surfaces should not exceed the following densities: (1) within 500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 1 unit/acre; (2) within 500 to 1,500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 2 units/acre; (3) within 1,500 to 3,000 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 4 units/acre. 11. Mining operations involving the creation or expansion of water impoundments shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 regulating water impoundments. 12. See DCC 18.80.072 regulating water impoundments. 13. See requirements in DCC 18.80.074. 14. Overnight accommodations, such as hotels, motels, hospitals and dormitories, are not permitted. 15. Due to land availability constraints, limited wastewater treatment plants within the Secondary Impact Area are permitted on lands owned or managed by the Sunriver Resort or Sunriver utilities. 16. Organic composting facility is permitted. 17. Since Sunriver Resort owns and controls the Sunriver Airport, golf courses operated as part of the Sunriver Resort, Crosswater and their affiliates are exempted.

Numbers in parentheses refer to notes. *The designations contained in this table do not constitute a Federal determination that any use of land covered by the program is acceptable or unacceptable under Federal, State, or local law. The responsibility for determining the acceptable and permissible land uses and the relationship between specific properties and specific noise contours rests with the local authorities. FAA determinations under Part 150 are not intended to substitute federally determined land uses for those determined to be appropriate by local authorities in response to locally determined needs and values in achieving noise compatible land uses. Key to Table: SLUCM = Standard Land Use Coding Manual. Y (Yes) = Land Use and related structures compatible without restrictions. N (No) = Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited. NLR = Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation into the design and construction of the structure. 25, 30, or 35 = Land use and related structures generally compatible; measures to achieve NLR of 25, 30, or 35 dB must be incorporated into design and construction of structure. Notes for Table 2: 1. Where the community determines that residential or school uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB and 30 dB should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB, thus, the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round. However, the use of NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. 2. Measures to achieve NLR 25 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 3. Measures to achieve NLR of 30 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 4. Measures to achieve NLR 35 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal level is low. 5. Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed. 6. Residential buildings require an NLR of 25. 7. Residential buildings require an NLR of 30. 8. Residential buildings not permitted.

Such techniques shall be required as conditions of approval. Structures are not permitted within the RPZ. For purposes of DCC 18.80, tee markers, tee signs, pin cups and pins are not considered to be structures. 8. Within 10,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a non-precision instrument runway, and within 50,000 feet from the end of the primary surface of a precision instrument runway. 9. Public assembly facilities may be allowed in an approach surface only if the potential danger to public safety is minimal. In determining whether a proposed use is appropriate, consideration shall be given to: proximity to the RPZ; density of people per acre; frequency of use; level of activity at the airport; and other factors relevant to public safety. In general, high-density uses should not be permitted within airport approach surfaces, and non-residential structures should be located outside approach surfaces unless no practicable alternatives exist. 10. Residential densities within approach surfaces should not exceed the following densities: (1) within 500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 1 unit/acre; (2) within 500 to 1,500 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 2 units/acre; (3) within 1,500 to 3,000 feet of the outer edge of the RPZ, 4 units/acre. 11. Mining operations involving the creation or expansion of water impoundments shall comply with the requirements of DCC 18.80 regulating water impoundments. 12. See DCC 18.80.072 regulating water impoundments. 13. See requirements in DCC 18.80.074. 14. Overnight accommodations, such as hotels, motels, hospitals and dormitories, are not permitted. 15. Due to land availability constraints, limited wastewater treatment plants within the Secondary Impact Area are permitted on lands owned or managed by the Sunriver Resort or Sunriver utilities. 16. Organic composting facility is permitted. 17. Since Sunriver Resort owns and controls the Sunriver Airport, golf courses operated as part of the Sunriver Resort, Crosswater and their affiliates are exempted.

Numbers in parentheses refer to notes. *The designations contained in this table do not constitute a Federal determination that any use of land covered by the program is acceptable or unacceptable under Federal, State, or local law. The responsibility for determining the acceptable and permissible land uses and the relationship between specific properties and specific noise contours rests with the local authorities. FAA determinations under Part 150 are not intended to substitute federally determined land uses for those determined to be appropriate by local authorities in response to locally determined needs and values in achieving noise compatible land uses. Key to Table: SLUCM = Standard Land Use Coding Manual. Y (Yes) = Land Use and related structures compatible without restrictions. N (No) = Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited. NLR = Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation into the design and construction of the structure. 25, 30, or 35 = Land use and related structures generally compatible; measures to achieve NLR of 25, 30, or 35 dB must be incorporated into design and construction of structure. Notes for Table 2: 1. Where the community determines that residential or school uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB and 30 dB should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB, thus, the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round. However, the use of NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. 2. Measures to achieve NLR 25 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 3. Measures to achieve NLR of 30 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise level is low. 4. Measures to achieve NLR 35 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal level is low. 5. Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed. 6. Residential buildings require an NLR of 25. 7. Residential buildings require an NLR of 30. 8. Residential buildings not permitted.
