FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2013-01921
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 286 Catalina Dr.
APPLICANT: Mayer
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a two-unit Traveler's
Accommodation (one unit for the owner, and one guest unit) for the properties located at 286-288
Catalina Drive.

SUBMITTAL DATE: December 20, 2013
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: January 3, 2014

APPEAL DEADLINE: February 5, 2014
FINAL DECISION DATE: February 6, 2014
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: February 6, 2015
DECISION
The subject property is located midblock on the south side of Catalina Street, directly across from
Ashland Community Hospital. The subject property, as well as those to either side and to the north are
zoned HC, Health Care; while those to the south are zoned R-2. The property contains a duplex
constructed in the early 1970s, with each unit having approximately 810 square feet of living space. The
site is currently has little to no established landscaping. A large parking court with two carports is shared
with the adjacent property to the east (under common ownership) and is located within the front yard of
the units. Catalina is improved with curbs and gutter but no sidewalks or parkrows.
Although the parcel is zoned HC, Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 18.54.050 notes that "Where other
Ashland Municipal Code regulations do not refer to the HC zone, the standards for the R-2 zone shall
apply". The applicant has demonstrated compliance with the approval requirements of AMC 18.54 and
18.24, including consistency with the approval criteria for a Traveler's Accommodations. The structure
is more than 20 years old, is within 200 feet of an arterial or collector, has a parking space for the single
guest unit and two for the owner's unit, and has more than 400 square feet of floor space for the single
guest unit proposed. The applicant proposes to live on-site in the adjacent unit located at 288 Catalina,
and will offer 286 Catalina for rent as a single guest accommodation unit. No exterior modifications to
either building are proposed. Adequate capacity for water, sanitary sewer, storm drain and electric
facilities are already in place for the unit. Chestnut to the west is considered. a Collector and improved
with sidewalks, curbs, and gutters in place.
In considering the request, staff noted that the existing landscaping is severely lacking, and does not
present a welcoming appearance towards the street. Landscaping is often the first impression guests
encounter when visiting our community, and not only does this impression cast an image on your
business, but also in Ashland in general. Given the quasi-commercial use within an established
PA-2013-01921
286-288 Catalina/MP
Page 1
neighborhood, the Conditional Use criteria allows staff to weigh the increased impacts of the proposed
use with the potential impacts to the existing neighborhood. Therefore, the applicant has provided staff a
landscape plan that satisfies the landscaping standards of the Site Design and Use Standards. A
condition has been included below to require that all landscaped areas be maintained in a weed-free
condition and in a manner generally consistent with the approved landscaping plan provided as part of
this application and regularly watered to ensure their on-going viability.
In summary, the operation of a two-unit Traveler's Accommodation in the existing duplex, with the
owner to reside on-site in one unit and the other to be made available as a single guest accommodation
unit, will not have a significant adverse impact on the neighborhood and the number of vehicle trips per
day will likely be at or below that caused by a dwelling unit. Additionally, with no site modifications
proposed the change in use will have little effect on the existing development pattern in the surrounding
residential zone. Staff finds that the request for a two-unit. Traveler's Accommodation, with the
conditions detailed below, meets the approval criteria of the Ashland Municipal Code.
Approval Criteria for a Conditional Use Permit (18.104.050)
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 adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Other factors found to be relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of the proposed use.

number of units shall be 7 per approved travelers' accommodation with primary lot frontage on
designated collector streets, or for travelers' accommodations not having primary frontage on an
arterial and within 200 feet of an arterial. Street designations shall be as determined by the

adapted for travelers' accommodation use, including expansion of floor area. Additional structures may be .
allowed to accommodate additional units, but must be in conformance with all setbacks and lot coverages
of the underlying zone.
6. Transfer of business-ownership of a travelers' accommodation shall be subject to all requirements of this
section, and subject to Conditional Use Permit approval and conformance with the criteria of this section.
All travelers' accommodations receiving their initial approvals prior to the effective date of this ordinance
shall be considered as approved, conforming uses, with all previous approvals, conditions and
requirements remaining in effect upon change of business-ownership. Any further modifications beyond
the existing approvals shall be in conformance with all requirements of this section.
7. An annual inspection by the Jackson County Health Department shall be conducted as required by the laws
of Jackson County or the State of Oregon. (Ord. 2776 S1, 1996)
8. That the property on which the travelers' accommodation is operated is located within 200 feet of a

Accommodation.

Proposal for Conditional Use Permit for Traveler's Accommodations at 286 Catalina
Drive

Dear Ashland Planning Department, Et al;
SUMMARY
Please find enclosed a proposal for a conditional use permit for 286 Catalina Drive
for a traveler's accommodation. Also enclosed is a check for $998 for the application
fee.
HISTORY
286/288 Catalina Drive, a duplex, was purchased in the early 1970's by my
grandparents, who reside in Bend, OR. My grandparents also purchased 274/280
Catalina Drive, an identical duplex next door, which they still own. My parents lived
in the duplexes while attending Southern Oregon College. My mother walked across
the street and gave birth to one of my brothers while living there. My father
managed the buildings for a number of years until his death in 1982.
I moved into 288 Catalina in 1994, while attending Southern Oregon State College
and have managed the duplexes and lived there since. In 2008, the 286/288 duplex
was gifted to my three brothers and myself. In the fall of 2013, I purchased each
brother's interest. I am the sole owner currently and have resided here for
approximately 19 years.
While living in 288 since 1994 I have observed the hospital go through several
expansions into the SW corner of its lot. Currently, the neighborhood is a mix of
medical offices, the hospital, condominiums, duplexes, apartments and rental
houses. Typical vehicle traffic on Catalina Drive is employees of the hospital or
medical offices arriving in the morning and leaving in the afternoon,and local
residential and medical patient traffic.
I have lived in one unit, while renting out the other 3 units. Each unit is two
bedrooms and one bathroom. Typical renters are short term and stay for several
months to a year or two and have two to three vehicles associated with them. There
are few, if any, single family homes in the immediate area. The hospital owns
several houses in the area and they appear to be rented to college students.
FINDINGS
286/288 Catalina Drive is a 1620 square foot duplex. See attached Jackson County
record.
286/288 Catalina Drive is zoned HC (hospital) and reverts to R-2 for planning
purposes. See attached zoning map.
286 Catalina Drive is less than 200' from a collector or arterial street. It is 172.86'
from Chestnut. See attached street classification map and Jackson County map.
I own 286/288 Catalina Drive. See attached Jackson County record.
I reside in 288 Catalina Drive. I have lived here since 1994. See attached Jackson
County record.
286/288 Catalina Drive was built in 1966 and is more than 20 years old. See
attached Jackson County record.
286/288 Catalina Drive has three or more off-street parking spaces. It has two
under the existing carport, one beside the carport and two additional on the street
directly in front of the building. See attached Site plan and Landscape Map
286 is the proposed traveler's accommodation, I reside in 288. Each side is
approximately 810 square feet for a total building size of 1620 square feet. See
attached Jackson County record.
No sign(s) are being considered or will be installed.
I will continue to reside as the owner/occupant.
MITIGATION
Changing 286 from a month-to-month rental to a traveler's accommodation would
reduce the available month-to-month rental space by two bedrooms in Ashland.
However, it would make available a short-term space for visitors to Ashland who
have hospital needs or would like accommodations close to the hospital for a friend
or family member who is receiving medical care. Ashland Community Hospital is a
facility with many short-term patient stays, like its birthing center, and family
members and friends who need places to stay close by but who don't necessarily
need an accommodation primary geared towards theater or downtown Ashland.
Changing to a traveler's accommodation would also reduce daily parking congestion
by several vehicles that normally occupy parking around the hospital and are
associated with 286 full-time.
In addition, please find my proposed landscape plan to beautify the property and
create a welcoming environment for guests to Ashland. I propose to install rows of
lavender and rosemary, a sitting bench and several raised garden and flowerbeds to
project a welcoming environment to the property. The drip irrigation system is
already installed. The property will be mulched with bark after planting. No lawn is
being considered. No signs are being considered or will be installed. No new
construction is being considered.
Having a traveler's accommodation at the proposed location would increase parking
availability around the hospital and lessen overall traffic compared to several full
time residents and their associated vehicles. It would increase and beautify the
visual presence of the property in order to welcome guests to the City of Ashland. It
would also create a close, comfortable space for visitors who need access to or
would like to stay close to a friend or family member who is using the services of the
Ashland Community Hospital or medical offices. It would not negatively affect the
character of the neighborhood, a mixed residential and medical business area.
The only visual change will be the landscaping and reduced vehicle traffic associated
with 286. I anticipate one or two guests staying for one to three days at a time with
one associated vehicle. I anticipate occupancy to be approximately 50% of available
nights. I anticipate guests, besides those possibly associated with the hospital, to
include traveler's between Portland and San Francisco whom are familiar with and
select Ashland as a stop over point and guests and visitors to Ashland whose agenda
does not necessarily require quarters close to downtown.
CONCLUSION
I am requesting approval for a conditional use permit for a traveler's
accommodation for 286 Catalina Drive. I believe the proposal meets all zoning
requirements. I will mitigate the loss of two bedrooms in the available rental
market by decreasing traffic and increasing parking availability for the hospital,
beautifying the property for guests and making available an accommodation for
clients or friends and family members of clients of the hospital. Upon approval, I
will immediately obtain a city business license, register and pay the city transient
occupancy tax and make the property available for necessary inspections.
Thank you for your consideration,
Charles Mayer
