Ordinance No. 10-13, Page 9 
Exhibit D 
FINDINGS 
11.415 Required Findings. Prior to making a recommendation on the proposed change of zone, the Commission 
shall analyze the following criteria and incorporate such analysis in their decision: 
A. Criterion The change of zone is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and all other provisions 
of Chapters 10 to 14 and any applicable street plans. 
Staff Response: The following Comprehensive Plan Policies relate to the proposed zone change: 
Policy 20: Manage land uses so as to minimize adverse noise effects, especially industrial situations. 
The property which the golf course is located on would be an inappropriate location for industrial 
enterprise as the golf course provides a buffer between existing industrial operations and single family 
housing to the west. 
Policy 124: A wide range of recreational opportunities will be provided for the urban citizens of all ages 
including the handicapped and elderly. 
Golf courses provide recreational opportunities for people of all ages, including people with handicaps 
and the elderly. Re-zoning the property enables the golf course facilities to expand. 
Policy 129: Support for tourist facilities and accommodations will continue. 
Re-zoning the subject property from Industrial to Harbor Isles PUD: Golf Course, Open Space, and 
Recreation enables the golf course and its amenities to expand, which further ensures the property will 
remain as a golf course. Maintaining and expanding golf course facilities, increases recreational tourism 
opportunities in Klamath Falls. 
Policy 135: The community will create and maintain a diversified system of recreation lands and facilities that 
meets the recreation needs of all people, conserves energy, and enhances the environmental quality of the 
community. 
The Klamath Basin has a diversified collection of outdoor recreation opportunities. Ensuring that 
different recreation opportunities continue is important for meeting the recreation needs of different 
people. 
Policy 197: The extent of continuous, impervious paved surfaces will be minimized, and large parking or 
paved areas will be subdivided with functional planting strips with exposed soil or proper drains. 
Re-zoning the subject property ensures that a majority of the subject property remains pervious surface. 
If the property remains Industrial zoned then at some point in the future a large impervious structure and a 
large impervious parking lot could be constructed. 
Policy 239: Lands designated for industrial use shall be preserved for that use and protected from 
incompatible uses. 
The proposed zone change will cause the zoning of the subject property to more closely match the 
existing uses of the property. Re-zoning the property from Industrial to Harbor Isles PUD will clarify that 
this land has been used and will continue to be used as a golf course or other recreation enterprise. The 
subject property was not considered as redevelopable industrial land during the Goal 9 (Economic 
Opportunity Analysis (EOA)) study that was recently completed. When reviewing the redevelopable 
lands, it was determined that the Harbor Links Golf Course would remain and that an industrial use was 
not appropriate for that site. Figure 27 from the EOA identifies vacant and potentially redevelopable sites 
Ordinance No. 10-13, Page 10 
in the Klamath Falls UGB. The subject property was not identified in Figure 27, has not been considered 
as redevelopable, and thus will not affect the employment land supply. 
The primary clubhouse structure is approximately 7,650 square feet, the golf cart storage structure is 4,496 
square feet, the driving range shed is 887 square feet, and the event tent is 2,400 square feet. There are other 
small structures on the 59.27 acres that are used as restrooms and pump houses for irrigation; however, these 
structures are small in scale and are trivial to the calculations. The structures on the subject property total 
approximately 15,433 square feet or 1% of the 2,581,801 square feet of property. The closest structure walls 
are approximately 68 feet from the front yard, 72 feet from the eastern interior side yard, 435 feet from the 
western interior side yard, and 2,100 feet from the rear yard. All structures meet Harbor Isles PUD setback 
standards . 
The property is currently non-conforming according to use in Industrial. If the zone is changed to Harbor 
Isles PUD the subject property would meet all setback standards and have use conformance. 
Modifications to the Harbor Isles PUD Master Plan Development Standards are necessary to correct some 
minor errors and clarify omissions. These modifications will amend Development Standards that have not 
been updated since 1994. Additions to the Development Standards include defining standards for Golf 
Course, Open Space, and Recreation, such as permitted uses, building size, building height, and lot coverage. 
Proposed Finding: The change of zone is in conformance with the Comprehensive plan and all other 
provisions of Chapters 10 to 14 and any applicable street plans. The subject property is considered legal non-
conforming. Permitting the change of zone would create use conformance for the subject property. This 
criterion is met. 
B. Criterion The property affected by the change of zone is adequate in size and shape to facilitate those 
uses that are normally allowed in conjunction with such zoning. 
Staff Response: The minimum required lot size for Industrial zones is 5,000 square feet. The minimum 
required lot size for Harbor Isles Planned Unit Development: Golf Course, Open Space, and Recreation is 
also 5,000 sq ft based on Public Facility zoning, which is the most related zoning type. The subject property 
is 2,581,801 square feet which is larger than 5,000 sq ft. 
The minimum size for a PUD is 5 acres. The subject property exceeds that minimum requirement and would 
be added to the existing PUD. 
Modifications to the Harbor Isles PUD Master Plan Development Standards does not include the addition of 
minimum required lot size for land use designations as those are thoroughly covered in Community 
Development Ordinance Section 12.010 Site Standards by Zone. All of the properties currently regulated by 
the Harbor Isles PUD Development Standards are adequate in size and shape. 
Proposed Finding: The property affected by the change of zone is adequate in size and shape to facilitate the 
uses normally allowed in conjunction with the proposed zoning. This criterion is met. 
C. Criterion The property affected by the proposed change of zone is properly related to streets to 
adequately serve the type of traffic generated by such uses that may be permitted therein. 
Staff Response: The proposed rezone property is bordered by the street right-of-way for Harbor Isles 
Boulevard. The Klamath Falls Urban Area Transportation System Plan (TSP) identifies Harbor Isles 
Boulevard as a minor collector street. 
Modifications to the Harbor Isles PUD Master Plan Development Standards will not affect the relationship of 
existing property to existing streets. As the findings stated in the previous Harbor Isles PUD amendment 
from 1994; "Several different routes are available to access the proposed development - potentially 
distributing traffic onto several streets instead of just one." 
Ordinance No. 10-13, Page 11 
Proposed Finding: The properties affected by the proposed zone change appear to be properly related to 
streets that adequately serve the type of traffic generated by the uses permitted in the Planned Unit 
Development zone. This criterion is met. 
D. Criterion The proposed change of zone will have no adverse effect on abutting property or the 
permitted uses thereof. 
Staff Response: Staff has not received any written comments from neighboring property owners regarding 
the proposed change of zone from Industrial to PUD or regarding the changes to the Development Standards. 
Any future use of the subject property or any structural modifications to the existing uses will require a 
review by City Planning. Future reviews will insure that the site is developed appropriately for the proposed 
use and any potential adverse effect on abutting properties will be diminished. 
Proposed Finding: The proposed change of zone will have no adverse effect on abutting property or the 
permitted uses thereof. This criterion is met.
