Board hears hours-long remand hearing on Last Ranch LLC rezone near Deschutes Junction
At a remand hearing, the applicant urged the board to reaffirm a 2024 approval to rezone roughly 20.36 acres at Deschutes Junction to rural industrial, while Central Oregon Land Watch argued the change would conflict with the county’s scenic-highway protections under Goal 5; the board agreed to a 7/15–7/29 open record period and tentative deliberations in August.
