Figure 2.7.3730. Districts
A. Large Lot Residential District.
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Large Lot Residential District is to implement the low-density residential lot component of the west side transect as identified in the Bend Comprehensive Plan. The increased setbacks in this district are intended to serve as greater buffers for wildlife passage and greater separation between structures for increased wildfire resilience.
2. Density. The Large Lot Residential District will accommodate approximately 50 single-unit detached dwelling and duplex lots.
B. Standard Lot Residential District.
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Standard Lot Residential District is to allow higher density detached single-unit and duplex lots on smaller lots than otherwise permitted in the underlying Low-Density Residential Zone (RL) to offset the larger lots and lower density necessary for the Large Lot Residential District which implements the transect concept.
2. Density. The Standard Lot Residential District is intended to accommodate approximately 400 detached single-unit and duplex residential lots.
C. Residential Mixed-Use District.
1. Purpose. The Residential Mixed-Use District is applied in locations adjacent to collector or arterial streets, Commercial Limited or Mixed Employment zones, or public parks to satisfy BCP Policy by allowing a variety of housing types, higher density residential uses, and live/work housing to form the highest density residential component of the transect along with some limited small-scale commercial opportunities in the live/work townhomes.
2. Density. The Residential Mixed-Use District will accommodate at least 54 townhomes and at least 187 multi-unit, duplex, triplex or quadplex residential units as required by BCP Policy 11-124.
D. Commercial/Mixed Employment District.
1. Purpose and Applicability. The Commercial/Mixed Employment District applies to all land zoned Commercial Limited and Mixed Employment within the Discovery West Master Planned Development. The purpose of this district is to establish smaller scale commercial and employment uses than might otherwise be found in the CL and ME zones by limiting building height on lots abutting Skyliners Road. The Commercial/Mixed Employment District will also limit direct vehicular access to Skyliners Road.
E. Definitions. The following definitions apply to uses, building types and standards that are specific to the Discovery West Master Planned Development:
Attached single-unit as used in Bend Comprehensive Plan Policy 11-124, and as applicable to the Discovery West Master Planned Development, refers to townhomes, live-work townhomes, and any type of cluster housing development (both mews and cottages).
Cluster housing development refers to detached single-unit cottages or attached mews houses in a cluster around a central shared open space. Cottages or mews houses must be located on platted lots or as condominium units.
Cottage means a detached dwelling unit in a cluster housing development.
Live/work townhome means a residential townhome in which a business may be operated on the ground floor. A live/work dwelling is allowed instead of, or in addition to, a home business as defined by this code.
Mews house means an attached dwelling unit in a cluster housing development, with common walls on one or both side lot lines.
Transect as used herein refers to a gradient from higher densities along Skyline Ranch Road to lower density and open space along the western edge in this area which approaches National Forest land and park open spaces, in order to provide buffers for wildlife and wildfire, pursuant to BCP Policy 11-101.
