2.8.100 Purpose and Applicability.
A. Purpose. The Urbanizable Area (UA) District is intended to preserve large areas of undeveloped or rural land for future urban development prior to annexation. The UA District promotes the livability, stability, safety and improvement of the City of Bend by allowing orderly development consistent with the Bend Comprehensive Plan.
B. Applicability. The provisions of the UA District apply to all land inside the Urban Growth Boundary but outside the City limits, except for the land withdrawn from the City of Bend by the County by City Resolution 2459.
The UA District will automatically be removed upon annexation to the City and the zoning that implements the Bend Comprehensive Plan designation for the property will apply.
C. Development Applications.
1. Area and Master Planning. The City has the authority to process area plans under BDC Chapters 4.1, Development Review and Procedures, and 4.6, Land Use District Map and Text Amendments (Type IV process), and master plans under BDC Chapters 4.5, Master Plans, and 4.6, Land Use District Map and Text Amendments (Type III process), in the UA District prior to annexation. However, development of the property with the uses authorized by the area or master plan may only occur after annexation.
2. The City has the authority to process development applications for uses authorized in BDC Table 2.8.200, Permitted Land Uses, and for land divisions consistent with Table 2.8.300, Lot Area and Dimensions. [Ord. NS-2434, 2022; Ord. NS-2405, 2021; Ord. NS-2293, 2017]
