2. Amendment to Chapter 15 - Land Use. Update Findings pertaining to the 
provision of urban services within Tri City. 
The Public Facilities sections of Chapter 15, (Land Use) 
summarize Public Facilities available in a given area. In this case, 
the summary describes the Public Facilities available in Tri City, 
Area 2 of the Myrtle Creek UGB. 
Recent coordination with the Tri City Water and Sewer Authority 
resulted in a request to update information found in the Douglas 
County Comprehensive Plan. The update is specific to findings 
about Tri City having to do with provision of water and sewer 
service, and to the intent of urban unincorporated area land use. 
This legislative amendment updates Tri City findings found on page 
15-123 through 15-129, making the information contemporary and 
useful in making land use decisions.

Within Douglas County there exist seven urban areasr^f which six are located 
outside urban growth boundaries of incorporated cities and each possess a community 
identity all their own. These-slx areas are Diliard, Gardiner, Glide, Green, Shady, 
Winchester Day, and Tri City is the seventh urban area which was incorporated into 
Myrtle Creek's Urban Growth Boundary as an element of the adoption of Myrtle Greek's 
Urban Growth Management Agreement. Tri City remains an Urban Unincorporated 
Area under the Comprehensive Plan. These areas due to

PUBLIC FACILITIES 
6. The Tri City Water and Sanitary Authority Districts serve the area with these 
services. The Sanitary Authority District jointly owns with Myrtle Creek a sewage 
treatment plant which was completed in 2004 1975. This plant has a capacity 
PURPOSE: 
BACKGROUND: 
AMENDMENT: 
2010 Fall Legislative Amendments Page 3 
sufficient to service 10,000 persons. This is considered adequate for the projected 
year 2024 2000 population of the area. The District Authority sewer treatment 
plant discharges treated effluent into the South Umpqua River during winter flows 
and uses land application during the low flows of summer. This discharge 
presently meets State minimum standards. 
7. The Water District provides water to local residents from the South Umpqua River. 
This water is pumped and treated by a new facility completed in 2005 1900. The 
District has 2 four water rights totaling 4.425 1.445 cfs and have two-fow-more 
totaling 3.425 cfs that are in the certification process. This is more than 
adequate to satisfy all future demand at times of normal river flow. At times of low 
river flow, the effective supply of water is 1.0 cfs. To supplement supply during 
low flow periods, the Authority purchases 95 acre-feet of water from Galesville 
reservoir each year. In that the Authority District- is obligated to provide water only 
for domestic use and not outside use or fire protection, this supply is considered 
adequate to serve the year 2020 2000 population. 
49. The other means proposed to addressing the hazardous situation which exists 
along Old Pacific Highway is to encourage the installation of a continuous left turn 
lane along that street. One phase of this project has been completed as of 2010, 
with plans having been made to complete the rest of the project. (Revised 
12/8/10) 
52. The Myrtle Creek Area Transportation Study has identified two concerns regarding 
the I-5 corridor and impacting Tri-City area. The Chadwick Road Overpass is too 
low for some trucks to go under, causing the use of downtown Myrtle Creek as a 
bypass. The study recommended raising the bridge and adding a traffic signal at 
Chadwick Lane/Myrtle Creek Old Highway 99 South.

Introduction 
Land Use 
The composition of land uses within these communities varies so greatly that comparison of land use has little 
value. This variety results primarily from topographic constraints, agricultural potential, historic platting 
patterns, transportation routes and the existence of major industrial or public uses. The following table 
quantifies the existing land uses in these areas. The acreages are accurate as of the date of preparation of 
each subarea plan with the exception of Diliard for which 2008 land use acreages were used* and Shady 
where 2009 acreage was used and Winchester Bay for which 2010 land use acreages were used.

The purpose of this amendment is to recognize changes to the 
Winchester Bay Comprehensive Plan document as a result of a 2010 
Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) and general Plan update. 
In 2009, Douglas County received a grant from the Department of 
Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for drafting a 
Residential BLI and general Winchester Bay Comprehensive Plan 
update. Based on the results of both projects, changes must be 
adopted into the County Comprehensive Plan in order to ensure that 
all the documents are consistent with one another. 
This legislative amendment updates to the Urban Land Use portion 
of the Land Use Element specifically related to the community of 
Winchester Bay found on pages 15-64 & 15-65, pages 15-133 
through 15-148 and pages 15-203 through 15-206.

NATURAL FACTORS 
Flooding 
5. In 2006, the County installed a series of tsunami warning sirens, two of which are located in 
the Winchester Bay area. The first is located off Ork Rock Road on the center jetty and the 
second is located on Salmon Harbor Drive by the dune rescue building. 
SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS 
Population 
17. Population forecasts to 201Q for Winchester Day are based on the historic trends of the larger coastal 
population. An additional forecast of the peak season resident population is based on a vacant land 
build-out scenario. The year round population forecasts range from a low of 736 to a high of 913. 
The peak season resident population forecasts based on historic coastal trends range from a low of 
794 to a high of 984. The peak season resident population forecast based on vacant land build-out 
is 1034. Due to the significant changes in the economy and demographics, the population 
estimate for Winchester Bay should not be based on the historic trends or as a proportion of 
the larger coastal population. The 2010 Winchester Bay Residential Buildable Lands Inventory 
(BLI) estimated the population in 2010, using the 2004 Douglas County Comprehensive Plan 
Population Element annual growth rate projection range of low 1.29% and high 1.68%. By 
calculating the average of this adopted range and adding in a historical seasonal adjustment, 
the 2010 population was estimated to be 615 people. The BLI projected the population to 2030 
using a growth rate representative of the slowing housing market but still optimistic of 
regional growth. The BLI projected the population of Winchester Bay to be 785 people, using 
the (2009) Population Element of Coastal area projected annual growth rate of 1.30% and 
adding in a seasonal adjustment. 
18. An estimated 80 percent of Winchester Bay'3 year-round population occupy permanent dwellings. 
The remaining 20 percent occupy RVs or live-aboard boats. 
2010 Fall Legislative Amendments Page 6 
According to the Population Element Findings, the median household size for families under 
55 is 2.6 and for families 55 and over is 1.5. This recognizes that seniors typically have smaller 
households than younger people who typically have children or parents who reside with them. 
In Winchester Bay the average household size has followed the national trend toward smaller 
family sizes 
19. The average household size in Winchester Bay is smaller than that of the larger coastal population. 
Winchester Bay's average household size i3 believed to be 2.3 persons for permanent dwellings and 
2.0 persons for RVs and live-aboard boats. 
The 2000 Census data shows Winchester Bay has a high percentage of households where the 
head of household is over 50 years of age. Census data shows that over 43% of the residents 
of Winchester Bay are 55 or older; therefore, the average household size in Winchester Bay 
has been bifurcated and the following is assumed. 
A 9 ° 
Percentage of Total Assumed Household . 
Size 
54 and Under 57% 2.06 
55 and Older 43% 1.5 
Housing 
20. Qverthe last decade, The total number of dwelling units in Winchester Bay has increased by 12 
percent, or 29 units, from 240 in 1980 to 269 in 1990. 
21. A significant change in the mix of dwelling types has occurred since 1980. Mobile homes are now 
the predominant type of housing, amounting to 46 percent of the total number of units in 199Q 
compared to 41 percent in 1980. The total number of mobile homes has increased by 26.5 percent; 
with the number in mobile home parks increasing by 28.4 percent. Conventional single-family 
dwellings increased by only 2.9 percent (3 units), and now amounts to 40 percent of the total. The 
number of multi-family units has remained the 3ame and now amounts to 14 percent of the total. The 
current housing mix in Winchester Bay is predominantly single family detached. These 
include manufactured homes on individual lots. Based on the 2010 Winchester Bay 
Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI). no duplexes were found and only one multi-
family unit was found in the Winchester Bay area. In the past decade there has been a shift 
toward single family attached (condominiums) dwellings, although current economic 
conditions have stalled this trend for the current time. The current housing mix is as follows: 
Structure Type 
Existing Units 
(2010) 
% 
SF-Detached 
(including MH) 337 94% 
SF-Attached 
(Condominiums) 18 5% 
Duplex 0 0% 
Multi-Family 3 1% 
TOTAL 358 100% 
2010 Fall Legislative Amendments Page 7 
22. Housing forecasts for Winchester Bay are based on population forecasts and vacant land build-out. 
forecasts to 2010 based on historic coastal trends range from a low of 28 additional units and a total 
of 297 units to a high of 99 additional units and a total of 368 unit3. The forecast based on vacant 
land build-out is 119 additional unit3 and a total of 388 units. As of January 2010, there were 358 
dwelling units. The 2010 BLI estimated that by 2030 124 new dwelling units will be required 
to keep up with area demand. The current net vacant buildable residential lands within the 
Winchester Bay UUA is estimated at 26.52 acres, which falls short of the estimated 62 acres 
required to accommodate the growth of the area. 
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES 
Recreation Facilities 
55. Overnight lodging facilities in Winchester Bay consist of 85 motel units and 7 cabins. The weekend 
occupancy rate for these facilities is near 100 percent during the Salmon fishing season summer. 
57. The weekend occupancy rate of the RV parks is near 100 percent during the Salmon fishing season 
summer. The weekend occupancy rate of the harbor RV parking areas is typically near 80 percent 
during the Salmon fishing season summer. Monthly and annual occupancies are substantially less, 
reflecting heavier use associated with weekend fishing and differences in amenities offered by RV 
camping facilities. The peak month occupancy of Windy Cove reaches as high as 93% while the 
annual occupancy is only 35%. The peak month occupancy of the harbor RV parking areas reaches 
only 32%, while the annual occupancy is only 7%. 
Water Service 
59. Winchester Bay receives water service from the City of Reedsport. The service area encompasses 
Reedsport, Winchester Bay and Gardiner. Clear Lake is located about 3 miles from Winchester 
Bay and has a water surface area just over 300 acres (USGS. 1980). It contains approximately 
16,600 acre feet of water when full and receives about 6,000 acre feet of water annually from 
runoff and direct precipitation, and looses about 600 acre feet by evaporation. The Clear Lake 
watershed is about 1.290 acres. Portions of the watershed have historically been logged. A 
segment of U.S. Highway 101 lies within the water shed and follows the western shoreline of 
the lake. 
Fire Protection 
65. The district reports an average of 20 district's crew averages between 10 to 15 volunteers Fire 
Fighters and 2 Emergency Medical Technicians with various ieveis of training. The number of 
trained volunteers available to respond may be limited to as few as 4 or 5 during working hours. 
67. The water line and hydrant system is inadequate to fight large fires in a few locations. Hydrants 
fronting the east boat basin are served by a four inch line, which produces low volume of flow. 
Hydrants in the Pacific Heights and Barview Heights Subdivisions and Umpqua Lighthouse area also 
produce low volumes. There are no hydrants in the Umpqua Beach Resort Discovery Point area. 
Sewerage 
69. Winchester Bay Sanitary District's sewage treatment plant and initial collection system were 
completed in 1974. ana Over the past decade, the treatment piant had degraded to the point 
where the District had issued a moratorium on new sewer hook ups. In 2009 the plant was 
2010 Fall Legislative Amendments Page 8 
replaced with a new facility and the moratorium lifted, are in good condition A sewer collection 
system upgrade was also completed in 2006. which included the upgrade of 7 sewage pump 
stations. Many repairs have been done to the collection system piping to correct inflow and 
Infiltration problem since 2001. The District's collection service is available to all lands in the 
Winchester Bay Urban Service Area, although the collection system currently does not reach some 
developed and undeveloped areas. 
70. The treatment capacity of the system is 160,000 gallons per day (gpd). Peak wastewater generation 
(on summer weekends) from residents and tourists amounts to about 125,000 gpd. About 70,000 
gpd of this amount is from residents and the remaining 49,000 gpd is from touri3t3 and uses 
associated with tourism. Total wastewater generation on summer weekdays is 110,000 to 115,000 
gpd. The amount is reduced to 85.000 to 90.000 gpd during the fall. The new wastewater treatment 
facility is designed for an average flow of 270,000 GPD (gallons per day) at Build-out. Peak 
instantaneous flow design is 640 GPD. In 2009, peak wastewater daily flow generation from 
residential, commercial and tourism amounted to 100,000 GPD. Treatment plant influent flows 
in late fall through winter season have ranged from 45,000 to 150,000 GPD, depending on 
weather conditions. The treatment facility upgrade doubled the treatment capacity for flow and 
loadings in comparison to the former treatment facility. 
71. The upper range population forecast of 1034 persons (based on vacant land build-out) suggests that 
103,000 gpd of wastewater will be generated by residents at build-out. Tourism growth projections 
suggest that 85,000 gpd will be generated by tourists in 2010. If all of this growth is realized within 
this time frame, the total peak wastewater flow of 188,000 gpd will exceed the present capacity by 
28,000 gpd in 2010, and the system's capacity will be reached around the year 2002. Slower growth 
of the peak season resident and/or tourist populations may reduce the demand on the treatment 
system capacity for a longer time period. The design of the treatment plant does not provide for 
added treatment capacity.—Expansion of the system capacity would have to be provided with 
additional, or larger, treatment components. According to the District's revised facilities plan 
completed in 2003, District engineers used an annual population growth rate of 1.57 percent 
for planning purposes. Population projections used in a growth rate of 1.57 percent shows a 
I population for Winchester Bay to be 1,727 at Build-out. At the growth rate used for facility 
planning purposes, the sanitary flow projections are 153,000 GDP adverage dry weather flow 
and 168,000 GPD average wet weather flow. 
Th. During the rainy months, storm water runoff enters the collection system and results in total 
wastewater flows up to 400,000 gpd entering the treatment facility. These conditions sometimes 
result in discharges of increased suspended solids and bio-oxygen demand in excess of DEQ 
standards, and necessitate increased chlorination of wastewater. 
73. The occupancy rates of Salmon Harbor's RV camping areas are lower than those of other RV 
campgrounds. Sewerage fees for RV camping are established as a flat rate per site. This results 
in a comparatively high cost for actual usage of the sewage disposal system for the under-used 
facilities During summer months the district's sewage treatment facility experiences additional 
impacts from people using the system who are camping and recreating outside the district 
service area. 
75. The District plans to extend service to the Pacific Heights Subdivision as funds become available. 
Also under consideration is the addition of a staging tank to store raw sewage during times of peak 
flows for treatment when flows decrease. The District and the Department of Environmental 
Quality are working on increasing the capacity of the District.

TRANSPORTATION 
Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 
104. A Bicycle lanes exists along Highway 101. Salmon Harbor Drive and around the west spit to 
accommodate the recreational bicyclists along the Oregon coast. 
105. Pedestrian walkways and a view bridge exist along Salmon Harbor from Beach Front 
Boulevard to Ork Rock Road. 
LAND USE 
Residential Lands 
105. Residential land uses currently occupy approximately 34 acres. Most of these residences are located 
within the 42£ 120 acres currently designated for residential uses. The exceptions are three mobile 
home parks located in conjunction with RV parks on lands designated for tourist commercial uses. 
106. Currently, 9795 acres of vacant private lands are designated for residential uses; however, the 2010 
Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) found 68 acres to be unbuildable, constrained or 
needed for public facilities leaving approximately 27 acres suitable for future residential 
development. 
107. Based on The 2010 Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) found 68 of the 95 gross 
residential acres to be unbuildable, constrained or needed for public facilities leaving 
approximately 27 acres suitableforfuture residential development, a projection of private vacant 
land build-out, 85 acres will be used for residential purposes in addition to 34 acres currently used, 
for a future total of 119 acres. These additional acres include 77 acres where topography precludes 
other types of land uses and limits residential densities, and Q acres of 0 to 8 percent slopes 
(excluding wetlands) which will not be needed for projected commercial growth. 
108. The number of dwellings projected using the private vacant land build-out scenario is 388 units. This 
number exceeds the number of units projected from the upper range population growth scenario 
based on population trends by 20 dwelling units. As of January 2010, there were 358 dwelling units 
in Winchester Bay. The total number of dwelling units projected, based on area population 
growth, to the year 2030 is 482 units. This number exceeds the current available vacant 
residential acreage by approximately 35 acres. 
Urbanization 
154. The projections for Winchester Bay to the year 2690 2030 depict a growing community with a 
continued orientation towards tourism and considerably expanded housing stock. 
155. This future growth of Winchester Bay will occur through infilling of vacant lots within the platted area 
and-development of those the remaining vacant properties to the east which have been included 
within the urban service boundary within the Urban Unincorporated Area boundary and through 
potential future expansion of the boundary.

Sanitary District should monitor the long term impacts of storm drainage and 
wastewater discharge on the viability of the estuary of aquiculture and fisheries 
resources. 
Salmon Harbor Development 
10. Douglas County and the Salmon Harbor Management Committee should cooperate 
in a site planning effort for public parking, roads, and park facilities on the west spit.

6. Interchange 
County. 
Area Management Plan (IAMP) for Interchange 129 in Douglas 
PURPOSE: 
BACKGROUND: 
AMENDMENT*: 
A coordinated supplement to local plans for the Exit 129 interchange 
which accommodate land uses and economic opportunities that are 
consistent with ODOT's transportation management objectives. 
I-5 Interchange 129 in Douglas County serves a variety of uses in the 
area. The interchange serves the Umpqua Community College 
area, Winchester, Wilbur and Garden Valley. In addition, it provides 
access to the Douglas County Resources mill located on the west 
side of the interchange. Through this legislative amendment process, 
Douglas County will integrate the IAMP into the Douglas County 
Transportation System Plan (TSP) and use it to assist in 
implementation of the Roseburg Comprehensive Plan for the UGB. 
The IAMP is essential to the reconstruction of the Exit 129 
interchange and reflects the coordinated design and funding program 
for the reconstruction project. 
Amend the Douglas County Transportation System Plan by including 
by reference the Interchange Area Management Plan ("IAMP") for Exit 
129 as a support document. Included specifically in the TSP will be 
the following implementation and policy provisions: IAMP Objectives, 
Access Management Objectives, Land Use and Coordination Policies, 
Douglas County Implementation Actions. 
In follow up the County and City will update the Roseburg/Douglas County Urban Growth 
Management Agreement Supplemental Standards to incorporate recommendations of the 
IAMP related to the designated industrial lands within the IAMP area.
