Main OWNER/APPLICANT: Travis Cowan DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a two-unit (one guest unit and an owner's unit) Travelers Accommodation for the property located at 349 North Main Street. The accommodation unit is proposed to be located in an upstairs unit, with the owner residing downstairs. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density Multi-family; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 05DD TAX LOT: 3500; SUBMITTAL DATE: June 20, 2014 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: June 27, 2014 STAFF APPROVAL DATE: August 1, 2014 APPEAL DEADLINE: August 13, 2014 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: August 14, 2015 DECISION The subject property is located on the west side of North Main Street, approximately 64 feet south of Wimer Street. The parcel and immediately surrounding uses are zoned R-2, Lovv-Density Multi- Family, and is located within the Skidmore Academy Historic District. The 11,470 square foot property contains an existing 1,984 square foot duplex accessed off North Main Street, which is classified as an Arterial Street, and is improved with curbside sidewalks, curbs and gutters. The primary residence is known as the P.S. Mason House, which was in constructed 1925, and remained in family ownership for more than five decades. The City's historic resource inventory notes that the Mason house is a fine example of a Craftsman style bungalow, particularly in the full width front porch, nested beneath the prominent hipped roof. The projecting flat-roof garage appears to be an original element or early addition. With these elements, the Mason retains substantial integrity and effectively relates to its period of significance, therefore considered a Historic Contributing resource. The application proposes to utilize the upstairs unit as a one-unit, 1,286 square foot, three-bedroom Travelers Accommodation unit, with the owner residing on-site in the basement unit. In accordance with Ashland Municipal Code 18.24.030.K, the property owner is required to live on-site, the structure be at least 20 years old, be within 200 feet of an arterial or collector, and have an average area of 400 square feet per unit. The applicant submitted materials to the Planning Department that demonstrates compliance with the approval criteria within the Conditional Use Chapter of the Ashland Municipal Code, including being within 200 feet of an arterial street, age requirements, owner occupancy, as well as other pertinent information addressing the approval criteria. AMC 18.24.030.K requires that the property provides one parking space per each unit, plus two for the owners unit. In this instance, three parking spaces are required. The property presently has two units within a historic structure with an existing non-conforming parking situation of two spaces in the garage and one in the driveway with a turnaround area adjacent to the curbside sidewalk in order to PA-2014-01070 349 N. Main./MP Page 1 t exit onto North Main in a forward manner. The applicant has proposed a parking configuration in which a guest parks within the driveway without restricting the 22 feet of back-up maneuvering space behind the garage. Additionally, the applicant has a business at 400 West Hersey, approximately 350 feet by way of public sidewalk, in which he often parks his vehicle and walks to his residence. In reviewing the request, staff believes that due to the historic development pattern of the property, a turnaround area is already provided, and that no available on-street parking credits are available, options are limited that preserves the integrity of historic property without removing landscaping and creating a large parking area between the residence and the street. The applicant submitted a landscape plan that takes advantage of reducing water use by removing lawn in the front yard, and replace with drought tolerant plantings and drip irrigation. To mitigate the impact, staff will look to improved and continuously maintained landscaping throughout the existence of the accommodation use. In speaking with the applicant, he asserted that the front yard would be would be landscaped with lavender or similar plantings at time of operation, and present a welcoming environment to guests. In summary, the operation of a single-unit Traveler's Accommodation, given the proximity to services and destinations, will not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood, and consistent with the target use of the zone which is multi-family development. The number of vehicle trips per day will match those of a multi-family residence, and will likely result in more pedestrian activity. Additionally, with no site modifications proposed and adequate capacity for water, sanitary sewer, storm drain and electric facilities are already in place, the change in use will have little or no discernible impact upon the neighborhood as proposed. Therefore, staff finds that the request for a two-unit Traveler's Accommodation 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 tivater, 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 i12pact area. 4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants. 5.

The plan does not use the turn-around as a parking space. There is the required 22 feet behind the vehicle to navigate and not be considered stacking. I also want to let planners know that I am a single father and have only one vehicle that will be parked at 400 W. Hersey as that is my place of business and I have access to 13 undivided parking places in the parking lot of the office that I own. This property is cattycorner to 349 N. Main Street, the proposed Travels' Accommodations. Business-Owner Occupancy - I will be living in the downstairs unit on the property and have made this decision in order to be able to cut expenses and keep the home despite a divorce settlement. The approval will allow me to create income from the property so I can continue to upgrade and care for this historic home. Number of Units - The proposed travelers' accommodations are main level of the home and consist of a 3 bedroom 1 bath 1286 square foot unit. It will be rented as quest home and individual room rentals will not be allowed. See Floor Plan on site map #2 Signage - I am not proposing that I add signage to the property. If it is decided to be added in the future I realize that I must submit the plan to the city prior to constructing and must get the sign approved prior to installation. Other - The property is located on N. Main Street and was built in 1926. 1 will apply to the city for the business license and register for the Transient Occupancy Tax upon approval. All advertising will properly display the city permit number. Landscaping - Please see site map #3 and #4 for a detail of the current landscaping and proposed plan. I have started on the plan and have already last month added a backflow device and underground pop-up sprinkler system that is operated w timers. I have also added 9 yards of bark mulch to the perimeter to cut down on watering. There of two stumps in the front yard f t that will be removed from the front yard within the next two weeks(dated 6/18/2014) and the front grassy area will be removed due to cut down on watering requirements. The front will be hardscape with drought resistant local plants set up on timers with drip irrigation. This will all be completed prior to renting property for under 30-day periods. Fire Department - Went to fire department on 6/18/2014 for a consultation on what is needed in the guest rental accommodation. The property meets all the requirements already. Scalable Drawing - The new site maps are scalable with one inch equaling 20 feet. Neighborhood Outreach - I have spoken with the available owner occupied homes in the 200 foot radius. I Duplex - The home has been set up as duplex since it was built in 1926. The downstairs has functioned as a rental unit continuously since it was built. We are the third owners of the home and the original owner used this to supplement income. The individuals I purchased the home from also used the second unit as a rental for their entire occupancy. There are separate electric meters for each unit and I have been paying larger utility fees and taxes as well as higher interest on the mortgage due to the property being listed in the county records as a duplex. Conditional Use Permit criteria from Chapter 18.104.050 A. The use will 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 a not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program. B. There is adequate capacity of the 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. There are no proposed changes to the property other than landscaping improvements. The property is already set up with separate electricity meters and the water, sewer and storm drainage rates being paid are for a multiple unit residence. There will be less water, sewer and utilities used and then if a family lived in each unit full-time. C. The conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area. 1.) No change to existing structure. 2.) Traffic flow will be less because the unit will be shifting from a full-time rental to travelers' accommodations. I will also be living in the smaller unit and will be parking at my office caddy corner to the property. There is also a bus stop directly in front of the home and my informational introduction for guest will include instructions on public transportation options. I will also be providing bikes at no charge for my guests. 3.) The architecture compatibility within the area is not of concern as the home is listed as a historic home is Ashland by the Historic Commission and is known as the "P.S. Mason House." 4.) 1 have made improvements to the home by adding two new efficient burning woods stoves, replacing both open air fireplaces. This greatly reduced the impact that the previous setup had on air quality. 5.) There will be no material change in the generation of noise, light and glare as it is shifting unit from long-term rental to travelers' accommodations. I would assume there would be a reduction due to the days when it is not rented and empty. 6.) 1 have no plans to develop neighboring properties at this point. I am making this change to allow myself to keep my home and have a place for myself and my daughter. This approval will allows us to continue to improve the property because of the increased income generated and will also allow us to have an affordable place to live in Ashland. 7.) 1 will be parking my one and only vehicle at 400 W. Hersey St #3, which is a commercial property caddy corner to the proposed property at 349 N Main Street. This will allow my guests to have the entire driveway even though we can and have used the driveway for four vehicles as a duplex since my ownership. ti Travelers' Accommodations criteria from 18.24.030.J 1.) The property is owned by Travis S. Cowan and I will be the business owner. 2.) The property is located directly on N. Main Street. 3.) Number of accommodations 4.) There will only be one Travelers' Accommodation on the property and the lot is a full .25 Acres. 5.) The unit will be 1286 square feet and can be seen on site map #2 with the floor layout. 6.) The primary residence was built in 1926 and will not be altered or expanded for the travelers' accommodations or for my personal living unit. 7.) The parking spaces are in conformance the requirements of the Off-Street Parking section of this Title. 8.) There will be no signage on the property. If it is determined in the future that one is needed, I will comply with all current or future requirements. 9.) 1 understand that any future transfer of business-ownership of the proposed travelers' accommodations shall be subject to all requirements of this section and conformance with the criteria of this section. 10.) 1 will comply with any required inspection by the Jackson County Health Department in accordance with the laws of Jackson County or the State of Oregon. 11.) 1 will have the Traveler's Accommodations inspected by the fire department before j occupancy, following approval of the conditional use permit. I will have it periodically checked in accordance with Chapter 15.28. 10, 11 & 12.) 1 will maintain a business license and pay all transient occupancy tax in accordance with Chapter 4.23 and Chapter 6.04 of this code as required. All advertising will include the City of Ashland Planning Action number assigned to the land use approval. I understand that I must follow the guidelines or would be subject to enforcement procedures. f+ ~ s ~ OD f v a ~ - C ti i m co } It - - 03 I f: .

Green and his family retained ownership though 1946 when they sold the house to Laurence Edmonds. A two story stucco volume, the Green House is among the best examples of its style in Ashland and, given its prominent location, has become a well-known structure throughout the community. While no specific documentation exists, the building was almost certainly architect designed, quite possibly by either Robert Keeney or William Lang, both of who were working in this style in the Ashland area during the 1936 period. The Green dwelling retains many elements of the simple Moderne style, notably the modest cornice line, plain stucco walls, metal railings, and octagonal windows that highlight the fagade. The Green House retains very high integrity and admirably relates the period of significance. 207.0 Survey #725 MASON, P. S. HOUSE 1925c 349 MAIN ST N 391E05DD 3500 201" C. American: Craftsman Historic Contributing Elizabeth Smith sold this property to P. S. Mason in January 1925 and construction of the dwelling probably began soon thereafter. Assessors field books indicate a dwelling stood on this site in 1910 but Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps do show the present structure until 1928. Mason retained ownership until 1932 when the house was transferred to his son. By 1940 Cora Mason, apparently P. S. Mason's daughter was the owner. Cora Mason worked for many years as the librarian at the Ashland Public Library and much of the growth of that institution is credited to her able leadership. The house remained in family ownership for more than five decades.- While of somewhat uncertain construction, and at least possibly incorporating a portion of the earlier dwelling, the Mason House is a fine single-story example of the Craftsman style with bungalow detailing, particularly in the full width front porch, nested beneath the prominent hipped roof. A projecting flat-roof garage appears to be an original element or an early addition. The Mason House retains substantial integrity and effectively relates the period of significance. 208.0 GOLDEN CREST APARTMENTS 1969c 10 WIMER ST 391E05DD 3600 Modern Period: Contemporary Non-Historic, Non-Contributing This corner property, originally the site of a house owned by J. L. and S. R. T. Bass as early as 1911, was owned and apparently occupied by Helen G. Wimer, who retained ownership into the 1960s. (JCVC 253:290) That dwelling was presumably demolished for construction of the present two-story 1 ~q 4 ~r t1y "A) ~ # 11 i I I I III f°..~iJ;! t 'f I~ ~F "WI 1 ~ ~I I 4, , ~ i 1 c ~4 1 r~"' 3TSrY "~4.
