The Board of Commissioners will reconvene on Wednesday, February 6, 2013, at 9:30 A.M. for an oral decision.

The Department of Public Services consists of employees within three (3) Divisions - Land-Use Planning, Environmental Services, and Building. The Department is committed to providing the best possible service to the people of Curry County in the administration of local and state regulations regarding land-use, environmental sanitation, and building construction. The Department must follow guidelines from a number of state agencies including the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Building Codes Division, among others. These agencies monitor the Department's work to assure compliance with state laws and regulations. Curry County also has a Citizen Involvement Committee (CIC), as required by Oregon Land Use Goals. Its primary purpose is to assist the Board of Commissioners in the development of a program that promotes and enhances citizen involvement in land use planning. For 2005, the Commissioners have asked the CIC to help improve public understanding of land use planning. The committee will be making recommendations on how we can make this process more easily understood and more conveniently used by our citizens.
1. Planning Division:
The Planning Division is responsible for comprehensive land-use planning through the continuing development of the Curry County Comprehensive Plan as mandated by Oregon Law. The Comprehensive plan sets forth the general, long range land-use policies established by Curry County. This plan is implemented by regulating ordinances such as the Curry County Zoning and Land Division Ordinances. The plan and implementing ordinances must be adopted by the Curry County Board of Commissioners and be consistent with the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and applicable Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS)/Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR). The Planning Division also administers ordinances relating to flood/natural hazard damage prevention and rural address and road naming system management. In addition, all development permit applications are reviewed by the Planning Division and coordinated with other applicable regulating agencies to insure compliance with applicable land-use regulatory ordinances.
The Planning Division also provides staff assistance to the Curry County Planning Commission. The Planning Commission consists of nine (9) members which are appointed by the Board of Commissioners. The Planning Commission is required by Oregon law and is comprised of citizens of the County appointed from the north, central, and south areas. Planning Commissioner functions include development of plan and ordinance revisions for recommendations to the Board, and making land-use decisions as provided under applicable Curry County ordinances.

2. Environmental Services Division:

The Environmental Services Division evaluates land, issues permits, and inspects construction within the County for on-site sewage disposal systems through implementation of Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter 340. The Division inspects septage pumping equipment used by private contractors for removal and disposal of septic tank contents within the County. The Division also investigates complaints and provides enforcement of the applicable OAR’s.

3. Building/Plumbing Division:

The Building Division issues permits and provide inspections for construction of 1 and 2 family dwellings and certain commercial and industrial structures through the Uniform Building Code. The Division issues permits and provide inspections for set-up of manufactured homes in the County through the Oregon Manufactured Dwellings Code. In addition, the Division issues permits and provides inspections for construction of plumbing and mechanical installations under the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes. These services are provided for the County as well as the Cities of Port Orford and Gold Beach.

A variety of other groups work with this Department including the Building Codes Appeal Board.
