11-136    The City will initiate an Area Plan for the OB Riley area. The Area Plan will address policies 11-137 through 11-141. Prior to completion of the Area Plan, annexations in this area must be a minimum of 40 contiguous acres and be the subject of a master plan application which includes a framework level Area Plan for the rest of the subarea. Following adoption of the Area Plan, annexation and development of individual properties or groups of properties of any size, consistent with the Area Plan, may be approved in compliance with the Bend Development Code.

11-137    The OB Riley area, shown on Figure 11-7, is intended to provide for a mix of employment uses to take advantage of good transportation access, while also including residential uses to ensure a complete community and provide a transition to existing urban residential areas to the south. The OB Riley area will also provide an attractive northern gateway into Bend.

11-138    This area shall provide for a mix of residential and commercial uses, including 28 gross acres of residential plan designations, 47 gross acres of commercial plan designations, 41 gross acres of industrial designations, and 21 gross acres of mixed employment plan designations (excluding existing right of way).

11-139    In order to provide sufficient housing capacity and mix, the residential plan designations must include 27 gross acres of RS and 3 gross acres of RM. Alternatively, the Area Plan may demonstrate that this area will provide capacity for a minimum of 125 housing units, including at least 10% townhomes and at least 20% multi-unit and duplex/triplex/quadplex housing types. The Area Plan may include and rely on plan designations, zones, special plan districts, and/or other binding development regulations to demonstrate compliance with the specified mix and capacity.

11-140    The street, path and bikeway network shall provide connectivity throughout this area and connect to existing abutting local roads.
