11-93    The City adopted an Area Plan for the Elbow area, also known as the Southeast Expansion Area, which became effective on May 21, 2021. The Area Plan addresses policies 11-94 through 11-104. 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.

11-94    This area, as identified in Figure 11-7, is intended to provide for employment uses to take advantage of good transportation access on Knott Road and 27th and existing city streets (and future improved access with the Murphy Extension) with a mix of residential uses providing a compatible transition from the employment lands to existing neighborhoods to the west. This mix of uses is also intended to increase the completeness of the existing low density neighborhoods.

11-95    This area provides for a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses, including 158.5 gross acres of residential plan designations, 38.5 gross acres of commercial plan designations, 38 gross acres of industrial designations, 142 gross acres of mixed employment plan designations, and 66 gross acres of public facilities (excluding existing right of way).

11-96    In order to provide sufficient housing capacity and mix, the residential plan designations must include 105 acres of RS, 35 acres of RM, and 10 acres of RH (excluding existing right of way).

11-97    The alignment of a new collector street between 15th Avenue and 27th Avenue / Knott Road shall be determined in coordination with the City, consistent with the Transportation System Plan.

11-98    Subsequent planning for this subarea shall address funding for the Murphy Road extension from Brosterhous to 15th Avenue.

11-99    The street, path and bikeway network shall provide connectivity throughout this area, connect to existing abutting local roads, and provide opportunities for connections to adjacent undeveloped land inside the UGB. The transportation network shall be consistent with the Bend Transportation System Plan.

11-100    Coordination with Bend Park and Recreation district is required in order to address provision of parks and/or trails within this area.

11-101    Coordination with the Bend-La Pine School District will occur during area planning within this subarea.

11-102    Coordination with other special districts and utility providers is required within this area.

11-103    The City will ensure that a total of 38 acres designated for industrial land uses on the Comprehensive Plan map with the 2016 UGB expansion that were subsequently changed to non-industrial designations through adoption of the Southeast Area Plan will be replaced to ensure an adequate supply of industrial land for industrial jobs. The City will designate new industrial lands on the Comprehensive Plan map through a rezoning of land within the UGB and/or an amendment adding land to the UGB, and within five years of the City Council’s adoption of the Southeast Area Plan.

11-104    The City will ensure that a total of 28.5 acres of land designated for commercial land uses on the Comprehensive Plan map with the 2016 UGB expansion that were subsequently changed to non-employment designations through adoption of the Southeast Area Plan will be replaced to ensure an adequate supply of commercially designated land for commercial uses. The City will complete an inventory of existing commercial lands and evaluation of need for new commercial lands within seven years of the City Council’s adoption of the Southeast Area Plan. The City may replace these commercial lands through a rezoning of land within the UGB, an amendment to the UGB that adds land for commercial land uses, or some combination of the two.
