ASHLAND PLANNING DIVISION
FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2014-01205
SUBJECT PROPERTY. 270 Morton St.
APPLICANT: Cathy Morton
DESCRIPTION: A Conditional Use Permit approval request to convert a non-
conforming garage into a 662 square foot Accessory Residential Unit located at 270 Morton. The
existing structure is placed on the Alaska Street right-of-way boundary line, and is within 6 feet
of the east property line. (The application also requests an Exception to the Street Standards to
retain an additional curb cut.)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single-family Residential; ZONING: R-1-7.5;
ASSESSOR'S MAP 39 lE 09DB; TAX LOT 11800
SUBMITTAL DATE: July 10, 2014
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: July 21, 2014
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: August 12, 2014
APPEAL DEADLINE DATE: August 25, 2014
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: August 26, 2015
DECISION
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Morton and Alaska streets,
approximately 530 feet south of Siskiyou Blvd. The 7,500 square foot parcel and surrounding
uses are zoned R-1-7.5, and has a moderate downward slope to the northeast of approximately
eight percent. Morton Street is improved with curbs, gutters, sidewalks, park rows and street
trees; while Alaska Street has curbs and gutters, but lacks sidewalks and park rows. The property
contains a 1,324 square foot single-family home constructed in 1939, an existing non-
conforming three-car garage fronting onto Alaska street, and approximately 600 square feet of
concrete located at the comer of the property that the previous owner used as additional parking.
Presently the parcel contains few trees, but has lawn areas within then front, side, and rear yards.
The application proposes to remodel the existing garage structure into a 662 square foot
Accessory Residential Unit (ARU), with an attached single car garage. 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. The maximum lot
coverage of the property will remain below 45 percent, and complies with solar setback
requirements for an existing structure.
Currently one off-street parking space is located north of the primary residence off Morton
Street, in addition to the non-conforming three-car garage located on Alaska Street with a 35-
foot wide curb cut. There is an additional 13-foot wide curb cut located-at the comer accessed off
Morton Street. Section VI-4 of the City's street standards limits the number of curb cuts to one
per lot, however application proposes to retain two of the tree existing curb cuts, while
significantly reducing the width of the one on Alaska Street, therefore an Exception to the Street
Standards is required. The applicant states that due to the existing non-conformity of the lot, the
request significantly reduces conflicting access points with neighboring properties, improves

safety, while retaining off-street parking for the property. In. addition, by replacing
approximately 35 feet of curbing, the applicant increases the on-street parking supply to the
neighborhood, which otherwise has limited availability. Staff believes the proposal comes further
into conformance with access standards and eliminates potentially dangerous interactions at the
corner; therefore, staff approves the Exception to Street Standards for more than one curb cut.
Primary dwellings require two off-street parking spaces, and accessory units greater than 500
square feet require two additional parking spaces to be provided on-site; for four spaces required.
AMC 18.92.050 states that all required off-street parking spaces may be reduced up to 50 percent -
with an on-street parking credit of 22-feet of uninterrupted curb abutting the property. The
applicant proposes to retain two parking spaces on-site, including one within the existing garage,
with the remaining two as on-street credits. Morton Street has a 50-foot right-of-way with an
improved width of 28 feet from curb-to-curb, and Alaska Street has a 40-foot right-of-way width
and an improved width of 27 feet. The City of Ashland Street standards allows for parking. on
both sides of the street for Neighborhood Residential Streets with a curb-to-curb pavement width
of 25 to 28 feet. Given the properly is located on a corner with approximately 164 feet of
abutting curb, staff finds the applicant has sufficient space to satisfy the requirement.
Accessory units in single-family zones are subject to a higher. degree of review due to their
potential impacts to established neighborhoods. Approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit
are established to ensure that adequate capacity of public facilities are available to serve the use,
the proposal is architecturally compatible with the neighborhood, and that no adverse impacts
will affect the surrounding area. The application acknowledged that adequate capacity of public
services is available to the site. The applicant will install new electric service to the new unit by
utilizing the current 200 Amp service with a drop line from an existing power pole, and. there is
available water, storm drain and sanitary sewer service within the adjacent public rights-of-way
to serve the use. The application has proposed to construct a new trash and recycle enclosure
area within the yard area between the primary residence and the proposed unit, and install bike
parking on the east side of the proposed unit. The applicant also noted that lighting will be
directed . downwards as not to disturb neighboring properties, and proposes to upgrade
landscaping including a new street tree along Alaska Street as part of the proposed development.
Presently, the existing garage is within three feet from the rear property line, and appears to be
on the Alaska Street boundary line. The conversion of anon-conforming structure into habitable
space also.requires a Conditional Use Permit. Typically, a habitable structure is required to meet
the standard setback requirement of six feet from the side property boundary, and ten feet per
story from the rear property line. Building code does allow a structure to be closer to a property
boundary when abutting a public street, in which the centerline of the street is considered as the
required distance. The Alaska Street right-of-way is 40 feet, with an improved width of 27 feet.
With the existing structure being placed on the property boundary line, this leaves approximately
26.5 feet from the structure to the centerline of the street.
I
The established surrounding neighborhood has varying housing types ranging from early 20th
Century to modern construction. The applicant asserts that the proposed remodel enhances the
character of the neighborhood by preserving architectural features of the garage while adding a
decorative trellis over the entrance and sidewalk in order to provide orientation to the street. The
proposed unit will utilize similar four-inch lap siding, windows, trim, and paint colors matching
the existing dwelling.
PA 92014-01205

Overall, improvements to the structure will be consistent in bulk and scale with the underlying
zoning regulations, comparable to structures within the existing neighborhood, and compatible
with the surrounding area. Moreover, dust, light, and glare from the proposed use will not be
generated.
The final criterion is that the proposed unit is to 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 a single-family residence. The property is centrally located within the
community, easily'- accessible to a variety of establishments and services, including Southern
Oregon University and downtown. 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 requirements of the Conditional Use
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 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.
The criteria for an Accessory Residential Unit are described in AMC Chapter 18.20.030.H,
as follows:
H. Accessory residential units, subject to the Type I 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 100.0 sq. ft.
GHFA.

4. Additional parking shall be in conformance with the off-street Parking provisions for single-family
dwellings of this Title.
The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances.

more of the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then
Planning Action 2014-01205 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to

FINDINGS FOR ADU PROJECT AT 270 MORTON STREET AT CORNER OF ALASKA STREET
This application is being prepared to gain permission to convert the existing garage at 270 Morton Street
into an ADU. The garage will be converted into a one bedroom cottage, featuring a wrap- around deck
built out of Timber Tech and using pro rail systems around part of the cottage with a slider door from
living area which will feature a fireplace and wood floors. The kitchen will have a vaulted ceiling and a
cantilevered dining nook. The cottage will include all new energy efficient appliances and toilet and all
new plumbing and a 200 amp electrical system.
The footprint of the garage will remain the same and the heated living space will be 662 square feet
which is just under 50% of the square footage of the primary residence. The use of the ADU 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 not implemented by any City, State,
or Federal law or program. There is 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.
This conversion will maintain the current lot coverage and will include gated and locked bicycle parking,
trash and recycling storage, a minimum of 8% of the open yard space will be provided for private
outdoor space for the ADU in the back yard, and a private garage will be provided for the unit (all are
indicated on the site plan). The conversion will be similar in scale, bulk, and coverage to the surrounding
neighborhood. The use of the ADU as a personal residence will not increase the pedestrian, bicycle, or
car traffic significantly; there is adequate parking provided on this property: two parking places on the
corner of the property, one space to the left of the house on Morton, garage in the ADU, and street
parking on both Morton and Alaska Streets. The architectural style of the ADU will be similar to the
primary residence using 4" cottage lap siding and the masonry wainscoting will blend nicely into the
neighborhood, the plans indicate where windows will be on the Alaska Street side and they will be
located so that vulnerable areas can be easily surveyed by residents, there will be no windows next to
the property line of the property behind on Liberty and Alaska for privacy purposes, the front door
which will be on the left side of the ADU off the deck will be identified by a 4"x 6" trellis, outdoor lighting
will be included that will not be intrusive to the neighbors but will increase the safety of the property
and areas vulnerable to crime will be accented. The curb cut along Alaska Street, other than in front of
the garage door, will be filled in, a street tree will be planted on Alaska Street, water barrels will be used
on the ADU to conserve use of water and a new composition roof will be included.
All applicable City ordinances will be met by this proposed development. All requirements of the Site
Review Chapter will be met. This ADU complies with the site Design Standards adopted by the City
Council. All improvements in the street right of way shall comply with the City Street standards.
