COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single-family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5; ASSESSOR'S MAP 39 lE 05CA; TAX LOT 908 SUBMITTAL DATE: April 12, 2013 r DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: April 17, 2013 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: May 8, 2013 APPEAL DEADLINE: May 20, 2013 FINAL DECISION DATE: May 21, 2013 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: May 21, 2014 DECISION The subject parcel is located mid-block, on the east side of Thornton Way; at the far western perimeter of the City. The property is zoned R-1-7.5, Single-Family Residential, and has steep slopes in excess of 30 percent to the east. Thornton way is improved to 33 feet, in width with curbs and gutters but no sidewalks. Vacant lots bound the property on all sides except the western frontage, which is Thornton Way. The property currently has a 3,770 square foot residence; a large, paved-parking area; and well established landscaping throughout the property. The application proposes to convert existing interior space into a 942 square foot Accessory Residential Unit (ARU), leaving 2,828 square feet remaining in the primary residence. The findings explain that the space is located within an exposed basement, and was originally designed to be a bedroom, however deleted during construction and currently used as a., workshop with a bathroom. Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 18.24.030 limits the "size of ARUs to 50 percent of the Gross Habitable Floor Area (GHFA) of the primary residence, and no greater than 1,000 square feet, which the proposed ARU complies. Because the proposed unit is located within the existing structure, the property remains in compliance with both solar setbacks and lot coverage standards. In accordance with the AMC 18.96.030, accessory units greater than 500 square feet require two additional parking spaces to be provided on-site. The property currently has two parking spaces located within the garage of the home. The applicant proposes an additional space northeast of the garage adjacent to the bike racks and trash enclosure; and another parallel to the north retaining wall. Additionally, the property has approximately 80 linear feet of available curb space to claim three on-street parking credits; thus satisfying the additional parking requirement. f Accessory units in single-family zones are subject to a higher degree of review due to their potential impacts to established neighborhoods. The approval criteria for a Conditional Use PA #2013-00443 570 Thornton Way/NV Page 1 Permit ensures that adequate capacity of public facilities are available to serve the use, and that no adverse impacts will affect the established neighborhood. Although the surrounding neighborhood has varying housing types, the proposed unit would be largely unnoticed due to being below the finished floor of the existing home, and having adequate parking to satisfy the additional demand. Therefore, staff finds the proposed unit architecturally compatible and similar in bulk, scale, and coverage with the surrounding neighborhood. In reviewing the application in terms of the Site Design and Use Standards, staff finds that the application presents a good orientation to Thornton Way by providing an arbor and lamppost that demotes a private entryway `leading to a 264 square foot deck serving as the unit's open space. The trash and recycling area as well as two bike-parking racks will be provided adjacent the additional parking area. The applicant has verified there are adequate utilities within the adjacent right-of-way to serve both the proposed unit and the primary dwelling. The applicant is aware that an additional electric meter is required, and has proposed to add an additional. meter adjacent to the exiting one to serve the new unit. I The final criterion is that the proposed unit will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area compared to the target use of the zone (18.104.030. C). In this case, the target use is single-family residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood. The property is an oversized parcel, and currently has the adequate capacity within the existing structure to accormnodate an additional unit. In Staff's opinion, the proposed accessory residential unit will have no greater adverse affect on the livability of the neighborhood than the target use of the property. Therefore, with the added conditions below, staff finds that the proposed unit would be in conformance with the standards of the R-1-7.5 zone, the minimum requirements of the Conditional Use and Site Review chapter of the Ashland Municipal Code. The criteria for a Conditional Use approval are described in AMC Chapter 18.72.070, as follows: A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program. B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to and through the subject property. C. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use of the zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the zone: 1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage. 2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities. 3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area. 4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants. 5. Generation of noise, light, and glare. 6. The development of a*cent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. 7. Other factors found to be relevanf by the Hearing Authority for review of the proposed use. PA #2013-00443 570 Thornton Way/MP Page 2 The.criteria for an Accessory Residential Unit are described in AMC Chapter 18.20.030.11, as follows: H. Accessory residential units, subject to the Type 1 procedure and criteria, and the following additional criteria: 1, The proposal must conform with the overall maximum lot coverage and setback requirements of the underlying zone. 2. The maximum number of dwelling units shall not exceed 2 per lot. 3. The maximum gross habitable floor area (GHFA) of the accessory residential structure shall not exceed 50% of the GHFA of the primary residence on the lot, and shall not exceed 1000 sq, ft. GHFA. 4. Additional parking shall be in conformance with the off-street Parking provisions for single-family dwellings of this Title. r The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances. Planning Action 2013-00443 is approved with the following conditions. Further, if any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action 2013-00443 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval: 1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified here. 2) That the plans submitted for the building permit shall be in substantial conformance with those approved as part of this application.

Residence is currently two bedrooms with office / den. Residence was originally planned to have three bedrooms [the third bedroom being in the finished basement]. I was the job site foreman during original construction, the third bedroom was deleted and the space used as a workshop, although the bathroom was retained. The proposed plan would create one additional bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchenette. The proposed creation of one bedroom would bring the home to three bedrooms; witch by current standards is the median size home. The addition of a single bedroom would limit the space use two one or two adults. Parking for this use is currently available on site and would not require use of additional on street parking. Additionally the owners intended use of ARU is for parents and family to have a private space when visiting from abroad. Also they may have a caretaker stay in the ARU during extended absences. Current use is shared between parents and married children with both couples being in residence three to four months a year. Due to the light use of this property we feel there would be no significant impact to neighbors or increased use of street services if the ARU is built. A.R.U. Criteria Existing Residence is 3,770 square feet subtracting the proposed ARU of 942 square feet leaves 2,828 square feet of original home. The percentage of ARU to primary dwelling is 30%. Lot square footage is .29 acre or 12,710 square feet. Lot coverage is 5,327 square feet consisting of house footprint at 2,280 square feet and 3,047 square feet of non-permeable surfaces [driveway, walkways and staircase]. Remaining lot coverage of 7,380 square feet is 2,400 feet existing gravel walks and 4,980 feet landscaping/ garden. Percentage of lot coverage is 41.98%. Percentage of landscape and deck areas is 58.02%. Residence is three stories and construction is of masonry and wood. Site Design and Use Standards Criteria I Additional trash and recycling areas are on site in the current trash recycling area indicated on plan as Trash /recycling. Screening for trash area is provided by existing masonry wall. Existing screening will be raised to 5' in height to comply with screening standards. Bicycle parking will be a lockable two bike rack located on site plan adjacent to recycling area. New exterior house lighting will be used to light staircase to ARU entry. Additional exterior Lamppost will be placed at head of staircase, as indicated in site plan. Proposed ARU has 264 square foot deck attached and will serve as private space for ARU residents, while terraced vegetable garden existing will be used as shared or public space. Proposed ARU will have dedicated entry and is a self-contained unit within the footprint of original home. Private entry to ARU Pedestrian Access Design standard II-13-1c [ARU] Buildings shall be accessed from the street and sidewalk .Parking areas shall not be located between the building and the street. The proposed ARU is on the first floor of an existing home with the parking above home and between home site and street. We propose to mitigate this by providing a parking space at space 1 on site map as primary parking and space 2 as additional parking for ARU. Dealing with existing conditions there are not a lot of options, we feel this is the best the site affords. Entry to ARU is thru existing arbor on north side of residence to the top of the staircase and down to entry door. This is a private entry and will access only the ARU. Fireproof door will be placed at base of staircase into second floor and accessed with deadbolt by owners only after giving 24 hours written notice of inspection as required by law Orientation As we are working with an existing home site, orientation is already established. However we feel the addition of a first floor deck, with full skirting below, and new skirting on existing deck will add a great deal to the appearance of the first floor. As well as the addition of two entry doors onto the deck will improve the look of the home from the street below. Additionally the overall Architectural look will be more in balance with existing east elevation of home. Trim, siding and paint scheme will match the existing home. New entry doors will be Anderson and windows will match original vinyl. At completion the look will be as original to the home. Parking Parking for ARU will be provided in spaces 1 and 2 located on site map. Two additional parking spaces are in garage for existing residence and two existing spaces could be used only as necessary on street. Electrical Service Anew meter base will be set next to existing base and serve to power the new ARU.New larger conductors will be pulled into existing can by city of Ashland. City representative Dave Tygerson has had on site meeting and is working on necessary changes. Storm Drainage Current storm drain will be sufficient to control storm drainage. System currently consists of 12" x 16" I storm grate labeled on blueprint. This connects to 6" storm drain that drains into 8" storm drain in Thornton Way. This was discussed with John Peterson of city services and is adequate to site needs. I Water Current water source is 3/" inch water meter, Should this need to be upgraded to 1" meter service and connection fees will be paid at time of building permit. A public works permit will be needed and limited street closer permit applied for at time of construction. Erosion and sediment control Erosion and sediment controls meeting the standards set forth by city of Ashland public works/engineering standard drawing CD282 will be conformed to when excavating for new deck footings. Due to slope of proposed deck footing area being greater than 15%, All footings will be hand dug no mechanized excavation will be allowed. Fire separation The new ARU will need to meet existing fire code for One hour fire separation. This will include as shown on blueprints, One hour fire door at base of staircase, Two layers of sheetrock on ceiling, Fire blocking as required, All electrical penetrations or mechanical penetrations to be caulked with fire rated bitumen caulk. i i i i i Section 18.20.030 R-1 Conditional uses Accessory residential unit Type one procedure and criteria, Additional Criteria as follows. This proposal meets the condition of maximum lot coverage total lot coverage in impermeable surface is 41.98% all setbacks conform to planning standards as shown on blueprints. Maximum number of dwelling units per lot is two. Maximum GHFA is 942 square feet, total house square footage is 3,770 - 942 square feet =2,828. 2,828 divided by 942 = 30% making percentage of accessory unit = 30% Additional parking for two cars is available on sight and conforms to the one space per 500 square feet of living space required. Existing landscaping provided in landscape plan conforms to standards set and comprises 58.02 % of lot coverage. Irrigation system is in place and comprises primarily drip system with 400 square feet of mixed grass and wild flowers. This mixed grass area is watered using low flow [delivery rate of .85 inches per hour] side spray heads. All landscaping is watered buy computer controlled timer and is seasonally adjustable. No trees will be removed and only minimal disturbance to area under new proposed deck. Street trees exist and are spaced closer than the 30' as required. These are existing and mature trees having being planted in 1992. Open space for ARU is provided in 264 square feet of attached deck and 800 square feet of shared garden space. Total open space of 1,064 square feet is 14% of available landscaped area. All city services are already present and adequate to the sites needs accept where previously noted in regards to Water and Electric service upgrades. This conditional use will have no greater material effect on livability than the existing use. The proposed remodel does not change the exterior footprint of home. There will be zero square feet added to original structure. We feel the addition of first floor deck area is a significant improvement in the architectural look of the home. This deck will not be visible from Thornton Way and will be screened from below by existing terraces. i I Proposed ARU will have no generation of light, noise or glare. Home is similar in size and scale to other homes in this development. Generation of traffic is expected to be no more than two additional cars. Home is architecturally compatible with other homes in this area. Air quality will not be negatively affected all work will comply with relevant best practices for single family home construction. Impact on Development of adjacent parcels will not be affected by the construction of this ARU i i i I I F--I J ° a e OM6 N003i10 ONVIHSV _ f AVM NO1N2JDH10L9 N0I1V00I 10EIPM]d LL! m a -13a0W32i -IVIIN3aISEIH - Q ~w I-y SGNOOO 3NNV "3 091 NOd SNOIS30 a- ro o _ g J 3d - u, 3NIl A12i3d021d 3NI1 A1213d021d o N m ~ w ° 1 m ® r Fw. \wz K 0 jw m LLI R ° IW W~1~„ p e 1 .
