County adopts ordinance 2025-003 to change 20-acre site from agriculture to rural industrial
Summary
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners adopted ordinance 2025-003 on second reading April 2, amending the county comprehensive plan and zoning map to re-designate a 20-acre parcel on Deschutes Market Road from agriculture/exclusive farm use to rural industrial; Commissioner Chang recorded a no vote.
On April 2 the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners completed second reading and adopted ordinance 2025-003, which amends the county comprehensive plan and zoning map to change the designation of a roughly 20-acre property on Deschutes Market Road from agriculture and exclusive farm use to rural industrial.
Principal planner Anthony Regini presented the ordinance as a routine second-reading action following prior hearings and staff review. The ordinance amends Deschutes County Code Title 23 (comprehensive plan) and Title 18 (zoning map) for the identified parcel. The ordinance will become effective July 1 if there is no appeal.
Vote: Adoption passed by roll call. Commissioner Dyer voted yes; Commissioner Chang voted no; Chair DeBohm voted yes.
Why it matters: The rezoning removes an agricultural/commercial constraint for this parcel and permits rural industrial uses consistent with the new comprehensive plan designation. The change follows the county’s legislative review process and a public hearing at the hearings officer level earlier in the review process.
What’s next: Per county procedures, the ordinance will take effect on July 1 if there is no timely appeal to the applicable review authority.
