Curtis Homes seeks rezoning for 135 acres of farmland near Sisters, Oregon

Cameron Curtis's company, Curtis Homes, has submitted a proposal to convert 135 acres of farmland southeast of Sisters into rural residential property. The request, known as the Curtis Plan Amendment and Zone Change, seeks to change the land designation from Agriculture to Rural Residential Exception Area. This change would remove existing agricultural protections and allow for residential development, potentially allowing for about 13 homes on the site, depending on final approvals.

The proposal directly impacts land use policy in Deschutes County, addressing the larger question of whether high desert agricultural land should be opened for housing. If approved, the change would enable high-end residential development, which is the core business of Curtis Homes.
