ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
Monday, August 17, 2015
Siskiyou Room, 51 Winburn Way
Council Chair Marsh called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. in the Siskiyou Room.
Councilor Voisin, Morris, Seffinger, and Lemhouse were present. Mayor Stromberg and Councilor
Rosenthal were absent.
1. Public Input
Louise Shawkat/870 Cambridge/Explained Council could individually endorse the Our Critical
Climate: Trends, Impacts & Solutions - a Rogue Basin Summit occurring in October.
Huelz Gutcheon/2253 Hwy 99/Stated that the baseline for greenhouse gas emissions was one third
housing, one third cars, one third factories and defined the energy signature. He asked that the City
measure and inventory emissions to establish targets.
2. Look Ahead review
City Administrator Dave Kanner reviewed items on the Look Ahead.
3. Discussion of parking regulations, penalties, and enforcement
City Attorney Dave Lohman explained Council was responsible for setting and monitoring policy. The
Municipal Court Judge took the policies the City had and adjudicated cases. The Downtown Parking
Management and Circulation ad Hoc Advisory Committee initially questioned if it was feasible for the
City to make changes to better maximize parking capacity in the downtown area. They also questioned
whether parking fines were too low. The current parking was $7 with a $4 surcharge. A prior judge
actually set the $7 fine that was unprecedented because judges did not normally set fines. Staff developed
an ordinance that made it clear Council had the authority to set fines and have amounts addressed during
the annual miscellaneous fees review. Other issues staff wanted Council to address were whether
penalties were overly complicated, how to do enforcement and the cost associated with enforcement.
Mr. Lohman updated the 2015 Ashland Municipal Court Ticket Processing Statistics from Diamond
Parking document explaining 2015 went through April. Total Citations for 2015 were currently 7,770
with 247 appealed, 74 upheld in full, 136 reduced to zero and not dismissed and 37 dismissed.
Operations Manager Linda Fait from Diamond Parking added more citations occurred during the tourist
season, Christmas, and when it snowed.
Mr. Lohman explained there were two types of dismissals, Administrative and Judicial. Administrative
dismissals occurred when Diamond Parking issued a ticket then determined it was not appropriate. They
would recommend a dismissal to the judge. In 2014, there were 104 judicial dismissals and 130
administrative dismissals. Diamond Parking also produced a scofflaw report and in 2015 to date, there
were 51 different vehicles with more than 4 parking citations in a calendar year and I 1 1 with four tickets.
Revenues from violations were small at approximately $135,000 a year. In 2014, the Court judicially
appealed 3.75% citations.
Municipal Court Judge Pamela Turner explained parking appeals were a small part of the process. The
419 appeals she dismissed resulted in approximately $6,285 not paid in fines. The remaining citations
were paid, sent to collections, or booted. All parking revenue went into the General Fund. She
distributed a Citation Disposition form and submitted into the record. The form came to her attached to
City Council Study Session
August 17, 2015
Page 2 of 3
an appeals packet that contained a copy of the citation, photos, past parking history and notes from
Diamond Parking. She reviewed each packet, sometimes driving to the scene for further research. Judge
Turner focused on education, prevention, and prevention through education, compassion, and being firm
when needed.
Often she dismissed fines for people with no prior parking citations. Although dismissed, the ticket
remained on record as dismissed with Diamond Parking. Dismissing fines for no prior tickets occurred
only for people who appealed the citation, not those that paid their ticket directly. Reducing a fine to zero
was a gesture of good will for the court. Often the Judge would write a note to the individual for
educational purposes.
Ms. Fait explained appeals regarding financial hardship were rare and usually came from individuals who
received several tickets and accrued penalties. Diamond Parking notified owners of delinquent parking
tickets and the need to contact them regarding payment or a payment plan.
Judge Turner noted issues with 15-minute parking zones and California drivers with disabled placards. In
California, drivers with disabled placards could legally park in 15-minute parking spaces for extended
periods and loading zones. The Court worked with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival who now displayed
parking rules in their pamphlets. She recommended creating a guide on parking in Ashland. Another area
of confusion for drivers was head in only parking.
In 2014, 74 people received enhanced penalty tickets and only four appealed. The remaining people paid
the fines, it went collections, or they had their vehicle booted. If fines increased, tickets might increase
temporarily but would most likely remain the same. The initial fine in the City of Medford was $25 that
went to $50 after thirty days and did not incur additional surcharges.
The block phase rule pertained to one side of the street between two intersecting streets. If a person
moved their vehicle 1-2 stalls forward, Diamond Parking will issue them a warning notice explaining
once a vehicle parked on a block, the time continued to run. The block phase warning lasted two years.
The second time they received a ticket. This also applied to timed parking lots.
The surcharge was not difficult for Diamond Parking to administer on a one-time basis. It could become
time consuming if an individual appealed the same citation multiple times. Receiving penalties on the
fourth and fifth tickets did not deter a person from parking downtown. The majority of people paid their
tickets. Parking studies indicated one two-hour parking spot equated to an average of $20 spent in retail
and could generate $32,000 annually for that retail business. Names on the scofflaw list were not public
information.
Diamond Parking tracked license plates, not individuals. A person's vehicle became eligible for booting
when the owner accrued over $250 in unpaid fines. Individuals received notification prior to booting. If
the individual had multiple cars, they could put all of them on one payment plan. However, the
agreement stated failure to make payments could result in collecting the whole amount on one vehicle and
booting that car. It remained car specific until an individual signed the payment plan agreement.
Council supported a comprehensive revision of the current ordinance and possibly combining Ashland
Municipal Code 11.24 and 11.28. They were interested in making the code consistent with the City of
Medford, and possibly having vehicles booted when fines reached $150 versus $250. Council majority
agreed to drop the surcharge and increase the base fee. Comments suggested a comparison with the City
of Medford's ordinance.

Ms. Fait explained the block rule replaced the downtown employee parking rule. This prevented
employees from shuffling parking spaces in the downtown area instead of finding long-term parking for
their workday. Council would come back to the block phase rule once the parking study was complete.
Council was not in favor of eliminating financial hardship, and supported reducing the fine to zero, and
keeping the ticket on the record. Council also wanted the authority to set parking fines through
resolution.
Ms. Fait clarified people could pay fines with a credit card. There was no indication on the ticket itself
and when they reordered stock, they would include verbiage that Diamond Parking accepted credit cards.
Meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.

Mayor Stromberg moved the Downtown Beautification project update before the Consent Agenda with
permission from Council.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Downtown Beautification project update
Engineering Services Manager Scott Fleury explained Council approved a list of projects for staff to proceed
with design and construction. The projects selected for this phase included the corner on Winburn Way, the
Plaza, the corner of Lithia Way and Pioneer Street, and the Pioneer Street parking lot. Staff recommended
rejecting two formal bids and Council agreed. An informal process resulted in selecting KenCairn
Landscape Architects and Covey Pardee Landscape Architects for the projects.
Due to concern regarding tree removal at the Pioneer Street Parking lot, staff wanted to postpone that
discussion to the September 1, 2015 meeting and focus on the corner of Winburn Way, the Plaza, and the
corner of Pioneer Street and Lithia Way instead.
Mr. Fleury was aware of the request by the Historic Commission to delay the Plaza improvements pending
their review of the proposal. City Administrator Dave Kanner clarified there was no explicit basis for the
Historic Commission to review the proposal in the code. It was within Council's discretion to postpone an
item at the request of a commission. Councilor Voisin relayed the Historic Commission's concern they were
not given the opportunity to review the plans for the Plaza for the second time. They wanted to review the
plan during their September meeting. Council agreed to let the Historic Commission review the plan as well
as Council comments from the present meeting.
Alan Pardee from Covey Pardee Landscape Architects explained the proposed Plaza improvements included
a low railing, replacing trampled plants, and adding three planter pots. People walked through the central
planters regularly. The City could remove the rail and possibly use it in other areas. The planter pots were
sturdy and used in shopping centers, 4-feet in diameter with rocks in the bottom for drainage. Council
expressed concern people would use the planter pots as ashtrays. Other Council comments liked the planter
pots, were interested in different sizes but had concerns regarding the low railing and wanted it to be
temporary. The Plaza was a gathering place with plantings. Replacing the plants were a cost of doing
business. Alternately, the low railing could cause public safety issues for large crowds.
Councilor Lemhouse raised a point of order on whether Council needed a motion to forward the Plaza plan to
the Historic Commission and if the motion would include Council comments. Mayor Stromberg explained
he was trying to move a project forward that had incurred delays and bring it to resolution and not trying to
stifle comments. A motion would allow Council to add specific comments during the discussion.
Councilor Voisin raised a point of order that Council had agreed to forward the plan to the Historic
Commission and to make a motion would ignore the fact they may have important input. Council comments
were in the minutes and the Commission could read those. Mayor Stromberg sustained Councilor Voisin's
point of order.
Councilor Lemhouse/Voisin m/s to refer Council comments and discussions regarding the Plaza to
Historic Commission for review and comments. Voice Vote: all AYES. Motion passed.
Kerry KenCairn from KenCairn Landscape Architects addressed the improvements to the corner of Pioneer
Street and Lithia Way. The issue for Council and the community was removing the trees. To her, the corner
Ashland City Council Meeting
August 18, 2015
Page 3 of 9
appeared blighted and the hardscape was falling apart and dangerous. There was no way to upgrade the
hardscape without removing the trees already there. The trees were Red Maples and not the right tree for the
space. She considered the area an urban site that had perpetuity. The current landscape was brick walls
holding up depleted soil and people were kicking the bricks over. People were also sitting in, on, and
parking their bikes inside the planter areas. Accessibility was poor for a prominent public corner.
Her design would improve functionality. People could sit on the walls without destroying the landscape. It
would make it difficult to get bicycles and other things into the landscape itself and make the area accessible.
Red maples were not urban trees and would eventually start lifting the sidewalks. She spoke to an arborist
who thought the trees would start falling apart soon. The recommendation was remove the trees, rebuild the
corner, and plant suitable trees for an urban environment and create a hardscape that was safe and functional.
The owner of the building did not want the extra access removed.
The plan would replace two of the three trees removed. There was a sequence of the same trees lining
Pioneer Street. They would remove one and replace it with a different variety that would have better
conditions to grow. The current tree was root bound and there was no way to Lmdo existing damage. There
was a way to create a situation with structural soil, increased soil volume and a wider collar in the sidewalk
that would create a healthier growing situation for the tree. Ms. KenCairn could revise the plan to retain the
trees but the only kind of walls that could go in there without footings would be the same stack block walls.
If they retained one of the trees, no other plants could go in that area and it would be difficult to invigorate
the depleted soil. She was not sure it was the right way to go. Retaining the tree and digging footings for the
wall would cut major roots and kill the tree. Currently, there were little signs of the sidewalk lifting due to
the tree roots.
Ms. KenCairn had designed a method using rubber sidewalks that allowed tree roots to grow and made the
sidewalk malleable. However, this was a highly urban corner where a quarter inch of pavement rising could
create accessibility issues. The seat walls allowed the upper and lower sidewalk to co-exist. People were
already sitting around the public art piece. A seat wall around the sculpture created a better situation for
sitting. She discussed paver color with Council and recommended neutral tones. The seat wall would be
lower on one side and people would not be able to sit there.
Councilor Marsh/Voisin m/s to ask the project to go back to see if one or three trees could be saved in
this rendition. DISCUSSION: Councilor Marsh had high regard for Ms. KenCairn's design skills but
Ashland was experiencing an elevated concern about saving trees. Projects were coming forward and the
response regarding tree removal was the species was wrong and the existing tree was not doing well. That
applied to almost 80% of the street trees in Ashland. At some point, the City needed to make the trees thrive
instead of removing them. Other influences compounded the issue making saving trees a high priority.
Councilor Voisin wanted to save all three trees. It connected with the rest of downtown and was important to
respect the people who originally planted the trees. They might not be the right kind now but at some point,
there was consent it was the right way to go. Councilor Lemhouse agreed with Councilor Marsh. Some of
the concerns brought forward were valid enough to ask the experts to go back and look at other options.
Councilor Lemhouse/Marsh m/s to amend the main motion that Council approve in concept the rest of
the plan outside of the tree removal. DISCUSSION: Councilor Marsh added some of the concepts would
not work if they retained the trees. Councilor Rosenthal questioned the availability of funds for the
additional contract design. Mr. Fleury responded staff would require additional funding past the original
contract's amount that will need Council approval. Change orders were acceptable up to 25%, anything
above that Council needed to approve.
Councilor Seffinger was concerned the amendment restricted the ability to save the trees. Councilor Morris
disagreed with the amendment. Asking the architect to save the trees would change the design drastically.
Councilor Voisin thought Council needed to be clear on what the priority was and thought the amendment
Ashland City Council Meeting
August 18, 2015
Page 4 of 9
confused the clarity. She would not support the amendment. Councilor Lemhouse clarified the concept was
good. Any possible changes needed to save the trees would come forward. Roll Call Vote: Councilor
Rosenthal, Marsh, and Lemhouse, YES; Councilor Voisin, Seffinger, and Morris, NO. Mayor
Stromberg broke the tie with a YES vote. Motion passed 4-3.
Continued discussion on amended motion: Councilor Morris explained Ms. KenCairn was trying to give
Council the best possible project. The boxes the City planted trees in were too small and substandard.
Enlarging the box might help but it would take away part of the required sidewalk width and he doubted they
could retain the tree on Pioneer Street. He would like to retain the trees but did not want issues with the
sidewalk and wall that resulted in their removal 4-5 years from now.
Councilor Voisin thought there might be another way of looking at the project that could save the trees. She
would support the motion. Councilor Seffinger would support the motion. Trees in the downtown were
important for a variety of reasons and it would take years for new trees to provide benefits. Councilor
Rosenthal thought the motion was asking for another option that incorporated the existing trees. It would
come back to Council and might not be a feasible option for the long-term. Roll Call Vote on amended
Main Motion: Councilor Voisin, Rosenthal, Seffinger, Marsh, and Lemhouse, YES; Councilor Morris,
NO. Motion approved 5-1.
Ms. KenCairn noted James Urban developed a structural soil method currently required in the City of
Medford for all new street trees. This technique provided enough oxygen so tree roots would not lift
sidewalks and produced trees that thrived. Mr. Pardee recommended the City do an aggressive inventory of
the trees downtown. From his experience structural soil was working. There were some instances where
natural soil worked but most did not. Ms. KenCairn explained getting oxygen and water down into the root
zone of current street trees would help strengthen the existing canopy. There were strategies that would
work except for trees already root bound. Mr. Pardee added tree roots developed root memory and as they
started to circle a tree, even if they had more room, would continue to circle.
Ms. KenCairn went on to address the project at Winburn Way and Main Street. The footing for the seat wall
would go under the sidewalk instead of towards the existing tree. The City was expanding the landscape
area, moving the curb further into the street that would provide more water and oxygen for the tree. The
boulder would remain because it had integrated into the tree. She explained her role regarding protection
measures for the tree during the project.
Councilor Rosenthal/Marsh m/s approval of the Winburn Way beautification project. DISCUSSION:
Councilor Rosenthal noted the project was straightforward and looked forward to seeing the results.
Councilor Marsh thought the corner would become a popular place to sit. Councilor Lemhouse supported
the motion, appreciated Ms. KenCairn's effort, and patience. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Voisin, Rosenthal,
Seffinger, Marsh, Lemhouse, and Morris, YES. Motion approved.
Councilor Marsh requested a Study Session to review funding for the next biennium due to recommendations
made by the Downtown Beautification Improvement ad hoc Committee, discuss an urban tree plan, and
designate funding.

PUBLIC HEARINGS (None)
NEW AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
1. Appointments to Ad-Hoc Climate Action and Energy Committee
Councilor Lemhouse/Seffinger m/s to accept Mayor Stromberg's appointments to the Ad-Hoc Climate
Action and Energy Committee. DISCUSSION: Councilor Voisin raised a point of clarification and asked
when the other members would be appointed. Mayor Stromberg wanted to appoint a nucleus of 7-8
members with the possibility of it growing to 10-12. Councilor Rosenthal had a question regarding the draft
scope of work. Councilor Voisin raised a point of order on Councilor Rosenthal's inquiry. Mayor
Stromberg ruled in favor of the point of order and explained they would discuss scope after Council voted on
the motion. Councilor Lemhouse supported the council liaison appointment, member appointments, and the
committee. Councilor Voisin noted it was important to fill the entire committee. Councilor Seffinger also
supported the Mayor's appointment choices. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Morris, Lemhouse, Seffinger,
Rosenthal, Marsh, and Voisin, YES. Motion passed.
Councilor Rosenthal suggested changing language in the draft scope of work, page 2 of 2 in the Council
Communication, first sentence of the third paragraph from "...however the activities of consultants hired
by the City to work on the plan or technical reports associated with the plan shall be directed by the
City and not by the ad hoc committee," to "...committee should advise the city staff regarding
activities of consultants on the project." Council consensus agreed with the change.
Councilor Marsh expressed concern regarding language in the draft scope of work prohibiting the committee
to create and appoint subcommittees without prior consent of Council and suggested deleting the sentence.
Councilor Lemhouse clarified it would still allow the committee to create a subcommittee of its own
members. City Administrator Dave Kanner did support removing the sentence. Subcommittees created by
commissions or ad hoc committees were public meetings that required staff time, public noticing, and
minutes. A couple of the appointees had made it clear they wanted eight or more subcommittees. It would
create an inordinate amount of staff time and he did not believe an ad hoc committee should be able to make
that type of decision without some form of prior approval. Councilor Marsh understood the drain on City
staff time and noted the council liaison would guide the committee and remain sensitive to staff time. She
was open to another form of approval other than City Council.
City Recorder Barbara Christensen explained a subcommittee consisted of members on the committee and
could be one to two people. The subcommittee could create their own minutes and it was easy to notice
meetings. The main thing to ensure was that no new people joined a subcommittee, only current committee
members. They could do a presentation or public hearing as long as they met public meeting guidelines.
The committee could meet with the City Recorder and City Attorney for clarification on what they could or
could not do.
Councilor Rosenthal would actively serve as Council Liaison and Chair for the ad hoc committee.
i
Councilor Marsh/Rosenthal m/s to remove the sentence with the caveat that Chair Rosenthal will keep
the committee in check. Voice Vote: Councilor Voisin, Morris, Lemhouse, and Seffinger, NO;

Councilor Lemhouse/Marsh m/s to appoint Councilor Rosenthal as Chair of the ad hoc committee and
that he would come back to Council with a plan regarding the potential subcommittees being formed.
Roll Call Vote: Councilor Voisin, Morris, Lemhouse, Seffinger, Rosenthal, and Marsh, YES. Motion
approved.
2. Annual renewal of liquor licenses
City Recorder Barbara Christensen explained the Oregon Liquor License Commission (OLCQ sent the City
a notice in July listing all the establishments within city limits with a current liquor license for annual liquor
license renewal. Ms. Christensen forwarded the list to the Utility Billing department to determine if business
licenses were current and not in arrears for the previous year's renewal fee. She also sent a copy of the list to
the Chief of Police.
Due to prior discussions regarding two establishments that have been problematic, Ms. Christensen wanted
to ensure her office was following the process for liquor licenses appropriately. The Ashland Municipal
Code stated if a license met the criteria for an unfavorable recommendation according to the code and OLCC
guidelines, she would report to the City Council regarding the filing, prepare sufficient documentation or
findings that supported an unfavorable recommendation, and mail a letter to the applicant on the unfavorable
recommendation. The recommendation would go on the next Council meeting agenda for approval.
She recently met with OLCC Investigator Amy Nevine from the Medford OLCC and Sarah Morgan, the
supervisor with the License Servicing Division in Salem regarding reasons for liquor license denials. Ms.
Christensen referenced a document that listed the reasons a city could deny or restrict a license and reasons a
city could not consider denying a license. The City needed to document violations and situations that
occurred at these establishments and the court proceedings that followed in order for OLCC to consider
denying a liquor license. The City needed to better document violations and instances and maintain a
running file on these establishments. Ms. Morgan informed them OLCC could not deny the renewal of a
liquor license based on the information the City had on the Vinyl Club or the Granite Tap House. The denial
process was time consuming and could take up to a year for OLCC to make a determination. During that
time, the establishment in question retained their liquor license. Once the City had enough documentation to
support a denial they could contact OLCC and recommend revocation prior to the annual renewal process.
Since the City did not have sufficient documentation to request liquor license denials on the two businesses,
Council could approve the renewal of all the liquor licenses and convey wording within a motion or
recommendation that put the owners of the Vinyl club and the Granite Tap House on notice. This action
would help a potential denial in the future if needed.
Police Chief Tighe O'Meara addressed documentation needs and that the Vinyl Club was closer to a negative
recommendation than the Granite Tap House. The Chief included the Granite Tab House because of the
incidents that occurred there posed a significant security risk at the time. One of the owners contacted him
the day before expressing a sincere interest in mitigating access issues with their establishment. The arrest
report of one of the Granite Tap House owners did not include whether alcohol was a factor in the assault
that occurred at another bar. That was a failing on the Police Department reporting. The Vinyl Club
demonstrated more alarming behavior and there was an ongoing feud between the venue and some of the
residential neighbors.
The City recently determined that AMC Chapter 9.18 Chronic Nuisance Property was applicable to any part
of town and that included businesses. The ordinance stated that if any property had three or more qualifying
violations or crimes committed on it in a thirty-day period and if the City Attorney's office made a motion
with the Municipal Court Judge to do this, the Judge had tremendous power to affect the business and

code violations due to occupancy to the ordinance, expanding the qualifying violations, and extending the
time from 30 days to 60 days.
Council noted the incident of first responders unable to open the door at the Granite Tap House from the
outside. The documentation received did not seem show a real effort to remedy that issue by the bar owners.
Chief O'Meara explained the efforts made by the owner were not adequate for an emergency. Recently, the
owner contacted the Chief that they were no longer using the elevator and staffing the stairway exit so there
was always someone there for first responders. It was a step in the right direction but not the final resolution
to the situation.
Division Chief Fire Marshal Margueritte Hickman met with one of the owners of the Granite Tap House and
learned the door opening mechanism was not operating properly. She addressed overcrowding and blocking
exits. In the nation's catastrophic events that occurred in nightclubs where many people died, two of the
common characteristics in all of the events were overcrowding and blocked exits. The Granite Tap House
received two citations on Halloween 2014. The Vinyl Club incurred three citations, one from the Fire
Department and two from the Police Department since new ownership.
Michael Leslie/Vinyl Club Owner/Confirmed that had received two violations regarding over capacity on
separate occasions. In the last three years, police calls for the Will Dodge Area had declined. The majority
of the calls came from two people. The owners were striving to create a safe environment for students,
young adults, and the community. The Vinyl Club was trying to give back in any way.
Mr. Leslie explained the steps taken to address noises issues ad overcrowding included closing their doors
between 11:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and keeping the music down when the doors were open. For over
capacity, he did a head count every five minutes and had a state certified security person at the front door and
one inside.
Ryan Bottano/Granite Tap House Owner/23 North Main Street/Agreed the majority of what was brought
up was correct. The Granite Tap House was cited on Halloween and New Year's Eve. This was two of the
busiest days of the year. They were working as diligently as possible to correct any infractions and problems
with ingress and egress situations. They were incorporating an Allen key that will unlock the door and no
one will be able to lock it without the proper tools. They would install a sprinkler system and wanted to
ensure they complied with everything the Fire Department suggested. He was certified as an executive
manager by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). Using the stairwell instead of
the elevator enabled them to control capacity better and they were constantly upgrading their systems to
ensure everyone was safe. They anticipated the door would be fixed soon. The sprinkler system would be
installed by winter.
Councilor Lemhouse motioned that Council recommend approval of liquor licenses for the listed
establishments with exception of the Granite Tap House and the Vinyl Club. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Councilor Rosenthal/Marsh m/s to approve the OLCC renewal list for liquor licenses in Ashland and
to direct staff to pay particular attention to the Vinyl Club and Granite Tap House and document
issues. DISCUSSION: Councilor Rosenthal explained this was the suggested motion from the City
Recorder. He preferred Councilor Lemhouse's motion. He thought the Vinyl Club had more of a problem
and listed violations they had incurred since November 2014. Councilor Voisin appreciated staff going to
OLCC to learn what was required. It was now clear what needed to happen.
Councilor Lemhouse would support the motion. He supported going forward with what OLCC
recommended and noted there definitely needed to be some changes. It was important to have a vital
downtown and the businesses that Mr. Leslie and Mr. Bottano owned contributed to that vitality. It was up

to the business owners to deal with challenges they had with their buildings, not their neighbors. It was
Council's job to represent the citizenry and people were not happy with what they were seeing.
Councilor Lemhouse/Rosenthal m/s to amend the main motion to state a review period spanning from
August 18, 2015 to February 2, 2016 of the Vinyl Club and Granite Tap House will be instituted and
during that period, each establishment will meet with City officials to come up with a plan to
immediately remedy concerns brought forth to the Council. DISCUSSION: Councilor Lemhouse
thought the situation required more than a verbal commitment from the business owners. The time stipulated
would cover holidays. Councilor Rosenthal concurred with the additional clarity Councilor Lemhouse
provided. Councilor Marsh was not sure Council could compel a business owner to meet with them.
Councilor Lemhouse further clarified his intention was giving them an opportunity to meet, not compelling
them to meet with Council and explained City staff involvement. Councilor Voisin questioned if the
amendment asked staff to come up with a plan. Councilor Lemhouse explained during the review period
staff would come up with a plan to help mitigate these issues. Councilor Voisin did not think it was a good
use of staff time and preferred the business owners coming to the City with a plan instead.
Councilor Mortis noted the owners would have to meet with staff when they addressed fire safety issues and
were responsible to remedy any of the other issues without staff involvement. He could not support the
motion.
Councilor Marsh/Lemhouse m/s to separate the motion. The first part of the motion was the six-
month review and the second part to require the owner to come forward and work with staff.
DISCUSSION: Councilor Marsh thought the six-month review was a good idea. Councilor Morris would
support a six-month review but preferred a three-month review. Councilor Lemhouse wanted to encapsulate
the holidays and see how the business owners worked with the new plan. Mayor Stromberg clarified the vote
was separating the motion. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Morris, Lemhouse, Rosenthal, Marsh, Voisin, and
Seffinger, YES. Motion passed.
DISCUSSION on the six-month review: Councilor Lemhouse commented establishing a review period
kept the businesses accountable. Councilor Marsh agreed a six-month review was good. Voice Vote: all
AYES. Motion passed.
DISCUSSION on requiring the owners to come forward and work with staff: Councilor Lemhouse
explained it was not his intention to require the business owners to meet with the City. He intended the
motion to direct staff to put together a plan with the owners should they choose to participate.
Councilor Lemhouse withdrew the second part of his motion.
Councilor Lemhouse motioned for staff to meet with business owners of both establishments to formulate a
plan to mitigate concerns brought forward by staff. Motion died for lack of a second.
Ms. Christensen restated the amended motion would have Council approve the OLCC renewal list for liquor
licenses in Ashland and directed staff to pay particular attention to the Vinyl Club and Granite Tap House
and was amended to include a review period from August 18, 2015 to February 2, 2016.
DISCUSSION on amended main motion: Councilor Seffinger would have been more comfortable if the
motion stated in compliance with OLCC documentation. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Voisin, Morris,
Lemhouse, Seffinger, Rosenthal, and Marsh, YES. Motion passed.
Councilor Lemhouse/Rosenthal m/s direct staff to update the chronic nuisance ordinance to include
applicable codes as mentioned in the staff report.
Ashland City Council Meeting
August 18, 2015
Page 9 of 9
Councilor Voisin raised a point of order and questioned whether a motion could be made on something that
had not been noticed. Mayor Stromberg clarified the motion was staff direction and when it came back to a
Council meeting it would be noticed.
DISCUSSION on motion: Councilor Lemhouse thought the chronic nuisance ordinance needed review and
potential updating especially regarding fire code issues. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Morris, Lemhouse,
Rosenthal, Marsh, Voisin, and Seffinger, YES. Motion passed.
ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS AND CONTRACTS (None)
OTHER BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS/REPORTS FROM COUNCIL LIAISONS
Councilor Voisin announced Laura Lippert, Mildred Schwendener, and Robert Cox from the Senior Center
received the President's Volunteer Service Award. Each received a presidential certificate from the White
House, a letter from President Obama, and a presidential insignia pen. She went on to note two veterinarians
would provide rabies shots and other health benefits for dogs and cats at the United Methodist Church
September 28, 2015.
Councilor Lemhouse relayed a concern the Wildfire Mitigation Commission had regarding work on the
wildfire hazard zone. Apparently it was lowered on the priority list. This was a public safety issue and the
Commission wanted it higher on the priority list. He went on to announce the recent passing of Craig
Hooper, a former long-term police officer with the Ashland Police Department. He honored Mr. Cooper, his
hard work, efforts, and shared a personal interaction he had with him when Councilor Lemhouse worked for
the Ashland Police.
Councilor Marsh announced August 26, 2015 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. the Ashland Community Resource
Center would hold the second annual Family Fest. The Food Bank and other agencies would be present to
provide services. The Food Bank would also be open for evening shopping.
City Administrator Dave Kanner described a recent and dangerous code violation related to a renter in a
house who had incorrectly redone the wiring system in the house to grow marijuana. He suggested the City
put together an educational program for people interested in growing marijuana safely to mitigate potential
hazards.

ISPs control. Dave Kanner reminded the Committee AFN is doing this model now and it is not working. They would sell
to ISP's for less then what AFN retails. The only portion of AFN that is effectively growing are the "direct connect" sales,
without any sort of marketing, or advertisement.

The Committee discussed the pros and cons of some of the different models. One contractor: implications in the
city, impact on staff, and shared resources. Utility: could be set up like the Water Commission, separate from the
city. Susan Alderson would research independent contractors and how they are structured and operated. The
Committee wanted to see actual cost of operating AFN, because the budget was too general. Contract model:
implications of pulling city services out, who decides about investment.
Dennis Slattery asked about what the reasonable market potential of Ashland, how many people would
subscribe under the different ideas.
The Committee would like to see where AFN is serviceable and Dave Kanner remarked it would be easier to
report where they were not serviceable. The city does not have a map outlining services. David Hand would
like to know where the fiber is located. Vickie suggested a survey to see what the customer's really want,
residential and commercial.
Jim Tease asked for a small summary below each model to distinguish between them all.

currently working with SOU staff on additional energy efficiency projects for the Rogue River
Room and finalizing the documentation and measurement calculations for the SOU Dorms
project to qualify the project for BPA incentive funds.
Council Update - Councilor Marsh, filling in for Councilor Rosenthal, updated the Commission
on the status of the letter from the Mayor to the State legislature regarding House Bill 3470 and
recognized the Commissions effort and involvement in making that happen. Marsh also noted
that the Climate Action and Energy plan project funding was approved in the recently adopted
biennial budget for BN2015-17.
Marsh provided a brief summary of the discussion and status regarding the solar farm proposal,
stating that the Council decided to continue to reserve the property for its original purchased
intent, which is for issues relating to the wastewater treatment plant, but that the proposal did

lead to a desire for further conversations regarding the role of a large scale solar generation
facility within the City's electric utility. Marsh announced that the Council intends to have a
study session in late summer or fall regarding the current operations and future operations and
strategy for the Electric Utility. Hanks noted that the date has not yet been identified for that
study session, but that he would inform the Commission when it is set.
Marsh also updated the Commission on the recent presentation requesting the City Council's
support for the expansion of the Cascade Monument. The Commission was appreciative of the
Council for supporting the expansion and asked about a timeline for ultimate approval. Marsh
stated that it was likely still several years out to get through the various steps in the federal
process.
SOU - Quarterly Update - Beigel-Coryell gave an update on the recent activities at SOU
including several energy efficiency projects mentioned by Hanks earlier. An annual significant
event is student move out week at the end of the school year. Efforts are made each year to
divert miscellaneous non-standard trash items from the landfill trash stream (furniture, storage
bins, mattresses, etc) noting that over 8,900 pounds of material was able to be diverted this year.
Beige]-Coryell noted that the campus farm on Walker Av was continuing to expand and
volunteer opportunities were available. Also noted was the food grown at the farm are available
to students on campus each Thursday at a stand at the SU.
Old Business
Commission Monthly Column in Sneak Preview
1) July - SOU Sustainability/Conservation on campus
Beige]-Coryell handed out a draft letter from the Facilities Department regarding water
conservation. She stated that it wasn't the type of article she originally intended and wanted the
Commission's feedback on how best to proceed.
After discussion on the tone, the intended audience and its connection to the Commission,
McGinnis motioned that the Conservation Corner space be provided in July to SOU for this
letter, but it not be connected with the Commission. The motion passed unanimously.
It was then noted by several Commissioners that the goal is to be one to two months ahead of the
submittal deadline for articles.
2) August - School District Conservation
Hartman noted that he is working on it and will have a draft to email to the Commission well
prior to the next Commission meeting.
3) September - Leaf Removal/Storm drains - Buck/Hanks -Noted as on track for next meeting
4) October - Climate/Energy Plan - xoopman -Noted as on track for July or August meeting
5) November - Energy Efficiency/Weatherization - Hanks-Noted as on track for August or
September meeting
Climate/Energy Presentation/Council - Re-cap & Next Steps
Koopman summarized the recent presentation to Council regarding the Climate Action and
Energy plan and noted that she felt there was a breakdown of communication between the
Commission and the Council regarding the intended content of the presentation which caused
some confusion with all involved. Koopman suggested the Commission schedule individual
Councilor meetings to convey the messages on the Commission's plans for the project.
McGinnis gave a quick summary of the sub-committee work noting that in the recent past the
committee worked on research and development for the STAR framework for sustainability but
that didn't carry forward and wants to know what the Commission can do to be effective on this
topic.
Councilor Marsh responded that it may be useful for a pre-meeting with the Mayor and a few
key Councilors so everyone is on the same page. Marsh suggested that the Commission ensure
that the August deadline for the appointment of the ad-hoc committee members happens so the
project can formally get going. As to funding, Marsh noted that the allocation of the $120,000
has yet to occur and that will come as the project unfolds.
Weir noted that he felt the ad-hoc committee shouldn't be too all inclusive and mentioned the
recent water master plan as an example that he felt didn't work as well as it could have and
prefers the committee to be primarily technical experts in the fields being addressed.
Silverberg noted a desire for business leaders who may be impacted by the result and
implementation of the plan as well as to address potential job impacts.
The Commission noted their appreciation for Councilor Marsh's push on the topic and relayed
their desire to assist in pushing the project forward.
Carbon Pricing - Council Request Recap
The Commission again noted appreciation to Marsh for the Mayor and Council's action on this
topic.
New Business
Leaf Blowers /Air Quality
Hanks noted that this item is from a citizen request from a recent conversation and provided the
citizen email in the meeting packet.
Weir noted that he felt this would be a good topic for the Commission and would be willing to
lead some sort of discussion for research and recommendations on how to address the issue.
Buck noted that best practices need to somehow be included in whatever comes out of the
discussion. The Commission asked Marsh's opinion and she reminded them to pick their battles.
Buck again noted the potential for education vs a regulatory ordinance approach.
Weir made a motion to form a sub-committee, Silverberg second passed unanimously with
Commissioners Weir, Buck and Silverberg being members of the sub-committee.
8. Wrap Up
Calendar/Budget Review
Following up on discussions from last month's meeting, Weir made a motion for the
Commission to recommend allocation of $1,000 toward the 2016 Earth Bowl event. McGinnis
noted that there are several similar events that may require Commission recommendations on
funding and was hesitant to lock in one without talking about all of them.
The Commission agreed to discuss the budget, the Bear Creek Salmon Festival and the concept
of a water sub-committee at the next meeting.
Beigel-Coryell adjourned the meeting at 8:05.

cancel or reschedule the subcommittee meetings due to busy schedules.
The next compost class will be held on August 15.
Commissioner Marni Koopman arrived at 6:06 p.m.
4. Public Forum
Louise Shawkat - stated the show, "Future of Energy" can now be streamed on-line. She also has
a copy if any commission member would like to borrow it.
Huelz - gave handouts regarding energy use and typical amounts of wasted energy. Stated that
the information on the handout is old and that wasted energy is now 60%, not the 53.2% shown.
He gave details on how energy is typically used and wasted in households. He stated we
frequently don't recognize all energy used because we are not billed for it such as greenhouse
gases. Estimated 30,000 lbs per year per household in greenhouse gases is put into the
atmosphere. Additionally, we need to add in daily uses for things like production of the food we
eat, and the activities we enjoy. Stated that California is working to have all new residential
homes built to net zero by 2020. Previously there was a goal to have all cars electric by 2050 but
the new estimates he's found believe it will be more like 10 years from now.
5. Reports/ Presentations/ Updates
Downtown Recycling - Hartman introduced Vanston Shaw. He is a Parks and Recreation
Commissioner but is not here in that capacity. He is here as a resident of Ashland. Stated he
would like the Commission to encourage the Council to create a recycling program in downtown
Ashland. He wondered why no downtown recycling is available on a daily basis even though it is
for special events. When he previously approached Council for recycling to be added downtown
he was informed that it is too expensive a program to run. He believes there must be a method
for doing downtown recycling which won't cost too much. He gave history of how the recycling
baskets in Lithia Park were introduced and how they are currently being used and maintained.
Mr. Shaw would like to have a program similar to the Lithia Park baskets in downtown and
Minutes for the Conservation Commission
July 22, 2015
Page 2 of 4
suggested that the Commission could encourage businesses to take responsibility for the
maintenance of baskets outside of their businesses.
Biegel-Coryell recommended that if the Commission is interested in pursuing this a
subcommittee be formed to consider options.
Group discussed how many cans were downtown and how much, per can, the Parks Department
spends on this program, including the purchasing of the baskets and staff time in maintaining
them. Buck stated that she has a long history with recycling programs in the downtown area. She
loves how these baskets are being used in the park and would love if they could work in the
downtown area. She stated that there are limitations and challenges to recycling programs in
Ashland which other communities with similar basket programs don't have to face. The biggest
challenge is that we have no sorting facility and so any recycling which is contaminated with
garbage can't be recycled. The Clear Stream recycling program previously tried was a massive
failure due to this contamination. Additionally, Recology trash drivers can only pick up trash and
so this would require a separate pick-up. She feels the concept is good but wants everyone to
understand that it is more complicated than it first appears.
Group agreed that recycling in the downtown is important. Hartman, Buck, Weir, and Biegel-
Coryell agreed to be a subcommittee and work on possible options. They will bring suggestions
back to the group. The group can then determine if forwarding any options to Council is
appropriate.
Council Update - Councilor Rosenthal gave an update on the proposed use of the Imperatrice
Property as a solar farm. Staff and Council determined that Public Works likely has need of the
property for cooling effluent and as this was the reason the property was purchased in the first
place we can't at this time agree to using the property as a solar farm. The overall idea of a solar
farm is not dead but Council will not move forward at that location. He informed the group that
the Mayor is just starting on the process for appointing people to the Climate and Energy Action
Plan group. He also reminded the group that the commissioner appreciation BBQ will be on
August 30. He encouraged the commissioners to attend.
City Conservation & Operations Ship] et handed out the 10-cent Bag Ban cards which will be
given to retailers to help inform shoppers of the ban and the 10 cent charge.
Fourth of July - Buck stated that Recology added extra trash cans to each city can. This was not
a great way to encourage recycling but it did prevent cans from overflowing. Hartman stated he
noticed a difference in how clean the streets were after the parade.
Salmon Festival - Buck stated that the event organizers are reaching out to the Mount Ashland
Association in order to connect the dots between upstream and downstream. This connection
might not happen this year but it is a good long-term goal. Organizers are hoping to do a safe
carwash demonstration with the Public Works Department kit.
Ashland School District Quarterly Update - Hartman stated the school garden on Morris Street
is going great. He informed the group that after many years of service, August will be his last

Discussion: McGinnis wanted to make sure Hartman had received the edits he e-mailed.
Hartman confirmed that he had. Voice Vote: All Ayes. Motion Passes.
Group discussed the draft of the September article regarding leaf removal and storm drains. They
felt it was overall okay but was missing key elements such as dog waste, oil from oil changes,
and car wash runoff. Group debated whether or not to include the quiz in the final article, but did
not come to a consensus.
Koopman/Weir m/s to approve the September column, so long as the final draft includes
information on proper disposal of dog waste, car wash runoff, and oil change drippings.
Voice Vote: All Ayes. Motion Passes.
Group discussed upcoming topics and would like the following:
October - Climate and Energy Workshops written by Koopman and or McGinnis
November - Energy report written by Hanks
December - Holiday conservation written by Silverberg
They would also like an article regarding the school efficiency report previously given to the
commission by Jeff Sharp. Hartman will consider if he can write it. Group did not schedule it for
a particular month.
Climate and Energy Sub-committee - Koopman informed the group that she and commissioner
Sohl have a meeting scheduled with Mayor Stromberg, Councilors Marsh and Rosenthal, and
City Administrator Kanner to determine who plays what role in the process. They hope to have
lots of commissioners participate in the process. She was informed by City Attorney Lohman
that she cannot be on the committee due to her job. She gave an overview of the proposed
process that will be discussed at the upcoming meeting. They are still planning to have the Geos
Institute lead a kick-off event on November 15t" and all the information gathered at that event
will be given to the Mayor-appointed committee.
McGinnis suggested that the Commission should extend a specific thank you to the Historic
Armory for providing their building for free for the kick-off event.

Page 4 of 4
Discussion: Weir stated that of all the activities this commission has participated in, this year's
Earth Bowl had the most impact. He wants to see it continue and so is requesting that funds be
set aside now. Group agreed the event was successful and they would like to see it continued.
Rosenthal questioned whether the Commission had pursued sponsorship for the event. They had
confusion about what types of sponsorship were allowed for events.
Group asked Weir how he came up with $1,000 as a request. He stated he had assumed the
following:
• Four $50 gift certificates for winning team = $200
• Twelve $25 gift certificates for team coaches = $300
• engraving of trophy = $50
• advertising (print work or tee shirts) $150
• food & drink at the event = $300
TOTAL = $1,000
Group discussed the possibility of asking the Ashland Schools Foundation for sponsorship or
financial assistance. They are hesitant to do so until the event is more well-established. Group
discussed possibility of altering the motion to agree to support the event but not include specific
detail of amount to use. They determined that having set a specific amount aside might be easier
when other budget issues arise.
Roll call vote: Buck, Hartman, Sohl, McGinnis, Weir, Silverberg: YES, Koopman: No.
Motion Passes.
Group requested that staff come back with clarification on the requirements and limits of outside
sponsorship for events.
8. Wrap Up
Group agreed to move the November and December commission meetings to the third
Wednesday of those months to avoid the holidays. Those meeting will now take place on
November 18 and December 16.
The 2016 Earth Bowl date will be determined in September in order to better match up with the
School District's calendar.
Meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m.

Award of Contract to Apparent Low Bidder for the Oak St. Railroad Pedestrian
Crossing Improvement
FROM:
Scott A. Fleury, Engineering Services Manager, Public Works/Engineering, fieur y s c),ashland.or.us
SUMMARY
The Council is asked to approve award of a construction contract for the Oak St. Railroad Crossing
Pedestrian Improvement project. On August 20, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. bids submitted for the Oak St.
Railroad Project were opened and publicly read. Bids were received from four contractors with
KOGAP Enterprises Inc. providing the low bid.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Bidding Procedure:
The Oak St. Railroad Crossing Pedestrian Improvement Project was publicly bid on July 30, 2015. The
project was advertised in the Mail Tribune and the Daily Journal of Commerce. In addition, project
plans and specifications were sent to several plan centers and were also posted on the City's website.
Bids were opened on August 20, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., with four contractors responding. All four bids
were valid and contained the required bonds, documentation, and acknowledgements. Bidding
information is shown on the attached proposal summary form.
Project Description:
In 2007, the City entered into a rail agreement with the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad (CORP) to
jointly improve the railroad crossing at Oak St. The City portion of the project includes construction of
sidewalks on both sides of Oak St. across the railroad, paving and installation of appropriate signs and
striping. CORP will install new concrete crossing panels, remove old warning signs and install new
crossing arms. In order for CORP to perform the necessary work, Oak St. will need to be closed at the
railroad crossing and an appropriate traffic detour installed. The railroad estimates the closure dates for
their portion of the project will be September 19 and 20. Once CORP finishes their portion of the
project, KOGAP will proceed with the City's required work per the railroads order.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Oak St. Railroad Crossing Pedestrian Improvement Project is funded directly by the City as a
capital improvement project (CIP). The established biennium CIP project budget for engineering and
construction is $150,000. OBEC engineers were previously awarded the engineering in the amount of
$33,917, leaving $116,083 of available funds to complete the construction phase.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff recommends the Council accept the bid and authorize the award of contract with KOGAP

Council Communication
September 1, 2015, Business Meeting
First Reading of three separate ordinances amending the City of Ashland
Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Maps, Transportation System Plan,
and Land Use Ordinance (Chapter 18) to adopt the Normal Neighborhood Plan
FROM:
Brandon Goldman, Senior Planner, Community Development Department
Brandon. Goldman@ashland.or.us
SUMMARY
The three ordinances presented for consideration amend the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation
System Plan, and Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Land Use Ordinance) to implement the Normal
Neighborhood Plan.
The Normal Neighborhood Plan area includes 94 acres that is presently outside the city limits, yet
within the established Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The existing Comprehensive Plan designations
for the area anticipate the future urbanization of this area with single family (SFR) and suburban
residential developments. The housing density expected for SFR lands would range from 4.5 to six
units per acre on average. Suburban residential lands typically accommodate attached housing options
with densities between 7.2 and nine units per acre
The Normal Neighborhood Plan will guide future development associated with approximately 94 acres
of unincorporated lands within Ashland's Urban Growth Boundary. Upon annexation of properties in
the Normal Neighborhood district, the plan establishes land use policies, standards, and guidelines that
promote the construction of diverse housing types and a neighborhood network of connected streets,
walkways and cycling facilities, while requiring integration of, and protection for, the neighborhood's
natural areas, consisting of wetlands, creeks and associated floodplains and riparian areas. The
neighborhood plan includes detailed maps and graphics illustrating key objectives while providing
flexibility and encouraging innovative development alternatives.
BACKGROUND
In March of 2011, the City Council directed the Community Development Department to apply for a
Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to prepare a neighborhood master plan for the
94 acre Normal Neighborhood area. A detailed scope of work highlighting the key objectives of the
plan was produced and the City of Ashland was awarded a TGM grant in May 2012. An extensive
public involvement process was undertaken to understand existing conditions, and to develop and
refine the plan. In total there have been 50 public meetings over the course of three and a half years
where the viewpoints of a variety of participants including the general public, property owners and
neighboring residents have affected the plan's evolution.

-AS H LAN D
The City Council held public hearings on a draft Normal Neighborhood Plan on May _6, 2014, May
20, 2014, and continued public testimony and deliberations to a special meeting on May 29, 2014.
During the May 29"' meeting, the Council directed the establishment of an ad-hoc working group to
examine the fundamental objectives that were addressed in developing the plan, as well as conduct a
more in depth review of a number of plan elements. The appointed working group included two
Planning Commissioners (Richard Kaplan, Michael Dawkins), two City Councilors (Pam Marsh, Mike
Morris), and Mayor Stromberg.
Over the course of twelve public meetings, held between June 2014 and May 2015, the working group
explored each of the specific areas identified by Council. A series of meetings specifically focused on
housing and land use, open space and natural resources, transportation and infrastructure, and included
an exercise where working group members conceptualized alternative neighborhood plans independent
of the original draft proposal. Additionally, a special round table meeting was held (September 18,
2014) where a panel was brought together to provide feedback on what they liked and disliked about
the draft plan, identified barriers to agreement, and explored how the plan could be amended to work
from their perspective. In consideration of public input provided, and a review of the Planning
Commission's recommendations as presented in the Planning Commission Report dated 4/22/2014, the
working group drafted a general vision for the neighborhood and formulated a summary list of
recommended plan amendments (Working Group memo dated December 2_,_2014) for Council's
consideration.
The City Council directed the working group to work with staff to amend the plan to incorporate the
amendments to land use classifications, allowable housing densities, and internal transportation
network layout, thus altering the initial draft of the plan the Planning Commission had based the April
22, 2014, Planning Commission report upon. The working group did concur with the Planning
Commission's recommendation that the open space areas are a neighborhood defining characteristic
and should remain as presented in the original draft plan, however changed the amendment process for
potential reductions of open space areas to correlate with approved wetland delineations. Upon review
of this open space amendment process change the Planning Commission has provided specific
recommendations as outlined within the Commission Recommendations section below.
The Council further requested staff obtain cost estimates regarding needed Capital Improvements to
East Main Street and the future Railroad crossing at Normal Avenue, and that the working group
examine City's potential role in making such off-site improvements. The working group determined
that a public railroad crossing and improvements to East Main St., are integral and should proceed in
concert with development and recognized that the city may need to play a role in the financing/
implementation of these projects. The Public Works Department and Hardy Engineering completed a
general cost analysis for improvements to public rail crossing and East Main Street and further
evaluated the role of private and public financing. which was presented to the Working Group on April
15, 2015. Upon review of the Hardy Engineering Executive Summary the working group amended the
plan framework to include a new section, Advance Financing and Phasing of Public Improvements
(p30), that acknowledged that a phased approach to East Main Street improvements may be an option
to consider with future annexation proposals, and that the City would consider the participation in an
advance financing district to assist in acquiring full street improvements at the initiation of
development within the area.

The Normal Neighborhood Plan is comprised of Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework document,
official Normal Neighborhood Plan maps, and the proposed Normal Neighborhood District land use
ordinance amendments (Ch. 18.3.4). Collectively these documents create the underlying physical form
and regulatory structure for the area's future development. Development of this area is expected to
occur in an incremental way, as individual parcels propose annexation for specific housing
developments. The adoption of a Neighborhood Plan for the area will ultimately provide a general
framework for evaluating future annexation requests to ensure that in addition to housing the
coordination of streets, pedestrian connections, utilities, storm water management and open space are
considered as part of development proposals.
A detailed description of the proposed Normal Neighborhood plan's land use, transportation, and open
space, frameworks is provided in the attached Planning Action (PL-2013-01858) Staff Report dated
July 28, 2015, and Staff Report Addendum dated August 11, 2015.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of first reading of the Normal Neighborhood Plan's implementing ordinances, the final
plan and ordinances, as amended, will be presented to the City Council for second reading on
September 15, 2015.
COUNCIL GOALS SUPPORTED:
Goal 7. Keep Ashland a family friendly community:
7.3 Support land-use plans and policies that encourage family-friendly neighborhoods.
Goal 13. Develop and support land use and transportation policies to achieve sustainable development.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
Transportation Commission
To evaluate the changes made by the Working Group to the Normal Neighborhood Plan's
transportation elements, the Transportation Commission held a public hearing on April 23, 2015. The
Transportation Commission approved a motion (5-0) to recommend approval of the amendments to the
Transportation System Plan, and Shared Street classification as follows:
Accept the presented revised plan as an amendment of the TSP with the following conditions:
I ) Should the development occur along East Main, at a minimum, a sidewalk is to be
developed between Walker and Clay Street.
2) Should the development occur along the railroad tracks, at a minimum, the railroad
crossing needs to be completed.
These recommendations have already been incorporated into the Normal Neighborhood Plan
Framework's Mobility section (pg 30) as is presented to the City Council for consideration.
Housing and Human Services Commission
The Housing and Human Services Commission did not hold a public hearing regarding the draft plan
Page 3 of 9
CITY OF
-ASHLAND
and as such provided no formal recommendation pertaining to plan adoption. Upon being updated on
the plan and future development potential of the area, the Commission did express the importance of
the area in meeting Ashland's affordable housing needs and they emphasized the value of integrating
affordable housing throughout the plan area consistent with the existing requirements of the City's
annexation ordinance.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Normal Neighborhood Plan's
land use framework, transportation framework, open space framework, and implementing Land Use
Ordinance (Ch. 18.3.4) with the following specific recommended amendments to Ordinances 1, 2, and
3, as outlined below. These recommendations have not been incorporated into the Normal
Neighborhood Plan pending City Council direction at First Reading.
Ordinance #1 - Comprehensive Plan amendments
o Elimination of a sentence within the framework document (pg 28):that indicates the use of alleys
and rear lanes reduces pavement:
■ "the narrow street section of rear lanes reduces the extent of impervious surfaces in the
Normal Neighborhood and supports wetland and stream health
o Amend the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework housing types description for Pedestrian-
Oriented Clustered Residential Units (pg.8) to newly include NN-1-5 as a zoning classification that
permits such units.
■ This change pre-supposes a related change to the Land Use Ordinance (43) to include Pedestrian
Cluster Housing as a permitted use within the Single-Family zoning designation ( NN-1-5).
Ordinance #2 - Transportation System Plan
o Broaden the Shared Street description to allow this new street type to be applied in areas other than
those that are physically constrained. If directed by Council to amend the description staff would
revise the proposed language to read as follows:
■ Provides access to residential uses in an area in which right-of-way is constrained by natural
features, topography or historically significant structures. The Shared streets may additionally
be used in circumstances where a slower speed street, collectively shared by pedestrians,
bicycles, and autos, is a functional and preferred design alternative. The design of the street
should emphasize a slower speed environment and provide clear physical and visual
indications the space is shared across modes.
Ordinance #3 - Land Use Ordinance
o Amend Table 18.3.4.040 Land Use Descriptions to list the "Pedestrian Clustered Housing" as a
"Permitted" (P) use within the NN-1-5 zone
o Amend the Major and Minor amendment sections (18.34.030c) to require any reductions in open
space obtain a major plan amendment, and only alterations that do not reduce the size of a
designated open space be permitted through the minor amendment process.
■ Should the Council elect to maintain the minor amendment process for open space reductions
due to approved wetland delineations, as was recommended by the Working Group, the
Planning Commission recommend the revisions to 18.3.4.060 presented below to clarify the
criteria to be evaluated in granting such a minor amendment.
■ Staff supports the Planning Commission's recommendation to amend the Normal
Neighborhood District Site Development and Design Standards to incorporate the proposed
Page 4 of 9
P",
CITY OF
ASHLAND
section 18.3.4.060.A as presented below, which would codify the "stated purpose" of open
space. Staff believes this newly proposed section should be added to the Normal
Neighborhood District standards independent of the decision to require either a minor or major
amendment process for reductions in open space areas.
Amend the Normal Neighborhood District Site Development and Design Standards
(18.3.4.060) to directly reference the language in the framework document, and to include a
stated purpose for open space within a new section as follows:
18.3.4.060 A
5. Conformance with Open Space Network Plan
New developments must provide open space consistent with the design concepts within the
Greenwa and nd Open Space chapter of the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework and in
con ormance with the Normal Neighborhood Plan Open Space Network Map. The open space
network will be des~gned to support the neighborhood's distinctive character and provide
passive recreational importunities where people can connect with nature where water
resources are protected and where riparian corridors and wetlands are preserved and
enhanced
a The application demonstrates that equal or better protection for identified resources will
be ensured through restoration enhancement, and mitigation measures.
b. The application demonstrates that connections between open spaces are created and
maintained providing for an interlinked system ot'greenways.
c The application demonstrates that open spaces function to provide habitat for wildlife,
promote environmental duality by absorbing storing and releasing stormwater, and
protect future development from flood hazards,
d The application demonstrates that scenic views considered important to the community are
protected and community character and duality of life are preserved by buffering areas of
development from one another.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff believes the revisions that have been made by the Working Group refined and improved the
neighborhood plan, and are largely consistent with the original goals and objectives (see attached) for
the planning project. Staff recommends Council approve first reading of the ordinances amending the
Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Map, Transportation System Plan, and Land Use Ordinance
as presented below:

Staff Report Addendum
DATE: August 11, 2015
TO: Ashland Planning Commission
FROM: Brandon Goldman, Senior Planner
RE: Continuation of the July 28, 2015 Planning Commission Public Hearing regarding the
Normal Neighborhood Plan.
At the July 28, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission held a public hearing on proposed
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Map, Transportation System Plan, and
Ashland Land Use Ordinance to implement the Normal Neighborhood Plan. The Commission deferred
action to the Commission's next available meeting in order to continue deliberations and forward
recommendations to the City Council. The Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on September
1, 2015.
Please refer to the July 28, 2015 Staff Report for the project background, description of site and
proposal, and discussion of project impact. There have been no changes to the Normal Neighborhood
Plan following the July 28, 2015 meeting. At the prior meeting Staff presented changes to the plan that
were made by the Normal Neighborhood Plan Working Group following the City Council's update on
December 2, 2014. The City Council directed staff to amend the Normal Neighborhood Plan's
implementing ordinances to incorporate the selected recommendations of the Normal Neighborhood
Working Group, and to present the updated plan to the Planning Commission, Transportation
Commission, and Parks Department for comment. The City Council is seeking comments regarding the
changes that were made to the plan by the Working Group subsequent to the Planning Commission's
original review and public hearing (4/08/2014).
The modifications to the Plan that were incorporated by the Working Group include the following:
• Modifications to the proposed zoning
• Modifications to the street dedication map
• Modifications to the mobility section of the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework to address
timing of East Main Street and RR Crossing improvements
• Modifications to the Land Use Ordinance to allow a minor amendment process for for non-
resource open space adjustments
• Modifications to the Housing and Land Use section of the Normal Neighborhood Plan to include
conceptual illustrations of preferred site planning elements and a summary of characteristics that
future developments should address (pgs 9-11).
The first three items in the bulleted list above were presented to the Planning Commission at a study
session on March 31, 2015 and are outlined below in greater detail. The last two items listed above
were incorporated into the Plan and implementing ordinances based on the Working Group's direction
during their May, 2015 meetings and had not been previously reviewed by the Planning Commission.

Land Use Framework
In the final plan and proposed land use ordinance these recommendations of the working group have
been incorporated which include the following:
• Changing the originally proposed land zoning designations to be more consistent with the zoning
of adjacent land within the City Limits
• Using zoning labels and housing densities that are comparable to those used in the rest of the city
while recognizing the Normal Neighborhood (NN) district
• Maintain the option for neighborhood serving businesses and services close to East Main St near
the northeast corner of the plan area (NN- 1 -3.5 -C).
• Locating higher density development (NN-2) near the railroad tracks and within a relatively short
distance to local businesses, transit stops along Ashland St., parks and community facilities.
• Locating lower density development along East Main Street to protect the existing viewshed and
maintain a gradual transition between rural and urban areas.

Transportation Framework
The Normal Neighborhood Plan Working Group had a number of specific recommendations relating to
the future transportation system which have been incorporated into the neighborhood plan as follows:
The internal transportation system's local street network should incorporate multiple connections
with East Main Street as shown, and maintain the Normal Collector as designated in the draft
plan. Additional connections to East Main Street or Clay Street, which are not shown in the
proposed Street Framework, should require a major amendment to the Plan.
Internal local streets should be aligned to provide a more standardized grid pattern, including a
reduction in offset intersections and straight east-west connections.
Pedestrian and bicycle pathways are critical, especially as a means to connect residents with the
middle school and the existing bike path.
External transportation improvements, including the railroad crossing and improvements to East
Main Street are integral and should proceed in concert with development. The mobility section
of the Plan Framework newly includes narrative stating that the City could consider a phased
improvement approach and the formation of an Advanced Financing District as part of future
annexation proposals.
■ The extent of improvements needed along East Main Street would ultimately be determined
by a Transportation Impact Analysis submitted with a proposed development application.
With a phased approach it is anticipated that when the first new intersection with East Main is
created at least 250' on either side of that intersection should be fully improved to include a
sidewalk, parkrow, bike lanes and a center turn lane. The plan stipulates a pedestrian and
bicycle path connecting to the Middle School should also be improved at that initial phase.

Open space
The Planning Commission's report dated April 22, 2014 expressed that the provision of open space
within the plan area has environmental, recreational, and aesthetic value to the neighborhood. The
Normal Neighborhood working group concurred with this sentiment and as such the Planning
Commission's originally proposed recommendation to amend the Normal Neighborhood Plan
Framework's Greenway and Open Space chapter to further emphasize the community value of open
space retention has been included in the framework document with the following introductory statement
(page 13).
The Normal Neighborhood's distinctive character is shaped by the presence ofprominent open spaces
and natural areas. The preservation of these neighborhood defining features is central to the success of
the neighborhood plan as they ensure the protection offragile ecosystems, provide passive recreational
opportunities where people can connect with nature, protect scenic views considered important to the
community, protecl future development_from flood hazards, and preserve community character and
quality of life by buffering areas of development fi•orn one another. The permanent establishment of
interconnected open spaces and contiguous conservation areas as proposed in the Open Space
Framework is essential to promote and maintain high quality residential development which is
appropriate to the distinct character of the neighborhood.
The neighborhood areas designated as future open space are largely consistent in shape, size and
locations of previously designated floodplains, riparian corridors, wetlands, and wetland buffer areas
within the plan area. Further as the plan envisions the use of these open spaces for habitat preservation,
passive recreation, and preservation of scenic views the boundaries of these spaces address the proposed
street pattern to retain accessibility by the neighborhood residents.

As proposed in the draft Land Use Ordinance as recommended by the Working Group, in the future
event that a Department of State Lands (DSL) approved wetland delineation differs from the boundaries
presented in the 2007 Local Wetland Inventory an applicant could apply for a minor plan amendment to
alter the Open Space Network Map to reflect the then current delineation. As such, a revised delineation
showing a decrease in a regulated wetland area could result in a reduction in designated open space area
within the district.
Planning Commission July 28th items for further discussion
In addition to the revisions to the plan that were made by the Working Group as described above, the
Planning Commission identified the following issues during discussions on July 28, 2015 that they
would like to further address in formulating final recommendations to be presented to the City Council.
Housing
• Commissioners discussed allowing greater flexibility for "clustered housing" within the
proposed single family zone (NN-1-5). The City's current performance standards options for
subdivisions within R-1 zones, and the NN-1-5 zone as proposed, would presently allow single
family units to be clustered around a common green consistent with the general concept for
clustered housing as presented in the plan. However such a NN-1-5 development approved
through the Performance Standards subdivision process would retain the lower residential base
density than typical pocket neighborhoods, and would have individual household parking located
adjacent to each home unless an exception to parking standards was requested and approved
• Allowing Pedestrian Cluster Housing as a permitted use within the Single-Family zoning
designation ( NN-1-5) would newly allow such developments to utilize provisions for
consolidated parking, however the density of the development would remain consistent with the
NN-1-5 zone. If recommended by the Planning Commission such a change would require the
following amendments:
o Amending Table 18.3.4.040 Land Use Descriptions to list this use as "Permitted" (P)
under NN-1-5
o Amending the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework housing types description for
Pedestrian-Oriented Clustered Residential Units (pg.8) to newly include NN-1-5 as a
zoning classification that permits such units.
Transportation
• Broaden the Shared Street description to allow this new street type to be applied in areas other
than those that are physically constrained .
o The existing description reads as follows:
Shared Street
Provides access to residential in an area in which right-qf--way is constrained by natural features,
topography or historically significant structures. The constrained right-of--way prevents typical
bicycle and pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Therefore, the entire width
of the street is collectively shared by pedestrians, bicycles, and autos. The design of the street
should emphasize a slower speed environment and provide clear physical and visual indications
the space is shared across modes.
o To broaden the applicability of this street type the Planning Commission could recommend
amendments to this section:
Provides access to residential in an area in which right-of-way is constrained by natural features,
topography or historically significant structures. 'We-Shared streets may additionally be used in

circumstances where
. , a slower speed street, collectively shared by
pedestrians bicycles and autos is a functional and preferred design alternative, Thei-eeve, one
. The design of
the street should emphasize a slower speed environment and provide clear physical and visual
indications the space is shared across modes.
• Elimination of wording that indicates the use of alleys and rear lanes reduces pavement:
o The only current reference to the impact of alleys upon reduced pavement in the presently
proposed framework document is located in the mobility section of the framework within
the description of alleys (pg 28): "the narrow street section of rear lanes reduces the
extent of impervious surfaces in the Normal Neighborhood and supports wetland and
stream health If recommended by the Planning Commission, and approved by
Council, this section could be revised to eliminate that specific sentence within the alley
description.
o In a prior version of the framework (2/25/2014) it additionally stated on page 16 of the
mobility section "The use of rear lanes helps to reduce the extent ofpaved areas, and
will support a complete grid offinely-grained urban blocks. " In subsequent versions of
the framework, including the version currently proposed, this language was modified as
follows: "The use of rear lanes helps to support a complete grid of finely-grained urban
blocks, and provide access to garages and backyards. "
Open Space - Wetland Delineations
• The proposed Land Use Ordinance (LUO ch.18.3.4) would allow an applicant to apply for a
minor amendment to the plan in order to alter the Open Space Network Map to reflect the DSL
approved wetland delineation. The early drafts of the proposed LUO previously reviewed by the
Planning Commission had required a major amendment to the plan to reduce the area of a
designated Open Space. The Planning Commission could forward a recommendation to reinstate
the major amendment provision, and only allow for minor amendments when the area of open
space provided is not reduced, or alternatively could recommend additional ordinance language
to clarify the factors to be considered in approving a minor amendment to reduce open space.
• The current land use code (18.5.2.050) permits an exception to standards through a minor
amendment if the circumstances in either subsection 1 or 2, below, are found to exist.
1. There is a demonstrable ,ficully meeting the specific requirements of the Site
Development and Design Standards due to a unique or unusual aspect of an existing
structure or the proposed use of a site; and approval of the exception will not
substantially negatively impact adjacent properties; and approval of the exception is
consistent with the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design; and the exception
requested is the minimum which would alleviate the difficulty.; or
2. There is no demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements, bill granting
the exception will result in a design that equally or better achieves the stated purpose of
the Site Development and Design Standards.
• Should the commission elect to recommend modifying the minor amendment process staff would
recommend the following revisions:

o Amend the Normal Neighborhood District Site Development and Design
Standards(I8.3.4.060) to directly reference the language in the framework document,
and to include a stated purpose for open space within a new section as follows:
18.3.4.060 A
5. Conformance with Open Space Network Plan
New developments must provide open space consistent with the design
concepts within the Greenway and Open Space chapter of the Normal
Neighborhood Plan Framework and in conformance with the Normal
Neighborhood Plan Open Space Network Map The open space network will be
designed to support the neighborhood's distinctive character and provide passive
recreational opportunities where people can connect with nature, where water
resources are protected and where riparian corridors and wetlands are
preserved and enhanced.
a The application demonstrates that equal or better protection for identified
resources will be ensured through restoration, enhancement, and mitigation
measures.
b The application demonstrates that connections between open spaces are
created and maintained providing for an interlinked system of greenways.
c The application demonstrates that open spaces function toprovide habitat
for wildlife promote environmental quality by absorbing, storing and
releasing stormwater, and protect future development from flood hazards,
d. The application demonstrates that scenic views considered important to the
community are protected and community character and quality of life are
preserved by buffering areas of development from one another.

1. Relevant Facts
A. Background - History of Application
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 2, Land Use Planning, as -vvell as Chapter 197 of the
Oregon Revised Statues requires a land use planning process and policy framework as
a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land. Specifically, plans and
implementation measures such as ordinances controlling the use and construction are
permitted as measures for carrying out Comprehensive Plans.
Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization, directs communities to plan for
the orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate
urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure
efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities. The existing
Comprehensive Plan designation for the Normal Neighborhood Plan area was
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 1 of 16
established in 198 1. The area's development as low density residential, changes in
the City's population demographics, land availability, housing supply and type, and
water resource protection standards over the decades warrant a re-evaluation of the
area's Comprehensive Plan designations in consideration of these changed conditions.
In March of 2011 the City Council directed the Community Development Department
to apply for a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to prepare a
master plan for the 94 acre Normal Neighborhood area, and the City's project was
selected for award in June 2011. The TGM program is a joint program of the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT).
The City of Ashland received the TGM grant for consultant services in May 2012 to
undertake the neighborhood planning process. A number of urban design, planning,
engineering, environmental services and architecture firms were selected to prepare
the draft plan. Consultants included Parametrix Inc, UrbsWorks Urban Design,
Joseph Readdy Architect, Qamar Architecture and Town Planning, Leland Consulting
Group housing market analysts, and Nevue Ngan Landscape Architects. The
submission of preliminary draft plan materials and a revised draft plan concluded the
TGM funded portion of the project in September 2013.
The neighborhood planning process has involved considerable public involvement
including a resident survey, two neighborhood meetings, three public open houses,
two Planning Commission site visits, individual stakeholder meetings with property
owners and nearby residents, and numerous Planning Commission, Transportation
Commission, Housing Commission, t, and City Council study sessions. The design
phase of the planning process was initiated in October 2012 with a three day public
design charrette, or workshop. The charrette allowed for the identification of issues
and concerns, development of goals and objectives for the master plan, and creation
of a conceptual neighborhood design.
The issues and opportunities identified during the first public workshop and key
participants meetings, held when the project was initiated back in October 2012, were
used to create the project goals and objectives as listed below:
• Maximize land use efficiency by concentrating housing in a strategically
located area within the City Urban Growth Boundary.
• Create a development pattern of blocks and streets that supports a
balanced, multi-modal transportation system that offers a full range of
choices to its occupants and that supports active transportation
opportunities like walking, bicycling or using transit in those areas
planned for transit service;
• Provide a range of housing choices and a variety of open space, public
space, and green infrastructure improvements, in a way that preserves and
enhances the area's creeks and wetlands;
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 2 of 16
• Design a local street grid for the Project Area including connections to
existing and planned street, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities beyond the
project area that overcome the challenges to connectivity and better
integrate the area into the Ashland transportation system;
• Provide for pedestrian and bicycle routes and facility improvements within
the plan area that will provide safe access to local schools, activities,
neighborhoods, and destinations;
• Apply those principles of low impact development to minimize the extent
and initial cost of new infrastructure and to promote the benefits of
stormwater management;
• Provide developable alternatives at planned densities that will eliminate
the need for expansion of the urban growth boundary; and
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by implementing transportation and
land use plans that encourage reductions in vehicle miles traveled.
Following the October 2012 charrette, plan options were developed and presented at
study sessions and public open houses to obtain public input to assist the design team,
city staff, and the Planning Commission to further refine the plan concept. A draft
Normal Neighborhood Plan, and draft implementing ordinances, were presented to
the Planning Commission at a public hearing on March H, , 2014 and April 8, 2014.
Following the Planning Commission's public hearings their formal recommendations
on the neighborhood plan were forwarded to the City Council (Planning Commission
Report dated 4/22/2014).
The City Council held public hearings on the draft Normal Neighborhood Plan on
May 6, 2014, May 20`", 2014, and continued public testimony and deliberations to a
special meeting on May 29, 2014. At the final May 29"' meeting the Council directed
the establishment of an ad-hoc working group to examine the fundamental
assumptions that were used in developing the plan, as well as conduct a more in depth
review of a number of plan elements. The appointed working group included two
Planning Commissioners (Richard Kaplan, Michael Dawkins); two City Councilors
(Pam Marsh, Mike Morris), and Mayor Stromberg.
The Council directed the working group to specifically examine the following:
Housing Concentrations and Type
• Regional Problem Solving (RPS) assumptions on density
• The need for NN zoning; Density (units per acre)
• Building height limitations (2.5 or 3-story)
Transportation
• General transportation and connectivity issues; Transportation to the schools;
East-west transportation issues; Public transportation; Traffic reduction
(elimination); Improvements to East Main St.; Railroad crossing
Open space
• Wetland protection & delineations.

• 25% open space
Infrastructure
water, sewer, and electric; developer driven costs
Public Input
Incorporate public input and respond accordingly
Over the course of twelve public meetings, held between June 2014 and May 2015,
the working group explored each of the specific items identified by Council. A series
of meetings specifically focused on housing and land use, open space and natural
resources, transportation and infrastructure, and included an exercise where working
group members aimed to conceptualize an alternative neighborhood plan independent
of the original draft proposal. Additionally a special round table meeting was held
(September 18, 2014) where a panel was brought together to provide feedback on
what they liked and disliked about the draft plan, identified barriers to agreement, and
explored how the plan could be amended to work from their perspective. Panelists
included a selected neighborhood representative from within the Normal
Neighborhood Plan area (Susan DeMarinis), a representative from the adjacent
development's Home Owners Associations (Bryce Anderson), a developer who
represented a number of property owners (Randy Jones), and two outside experts
familiar with Land Use and housing development (Alan Harper and Tom Giordano)
who each had an opportunity to present their concerns and suggestions and participate
in an open discussion about the draft plan.
In consideration of public input provided, and a review of the draft plan's elements,
the working group discussed a general vision for the neighborhood and formulated a
summary list of recommended plan amendments (Working Group memo dated
December 2, 2014) for Council's consideration.
In formulating their recommendations the Normal Neighborhood Plan working group
reviewed each of the Planning Commission's recommendations as presented in the
Planning Commission Report dated 4/22/2014. The working group's recommended
amendments alter the land use classifications, allowable housing densities, internal
transportation network, thus differing from the plan the Planning Commission
originally reviewed and had based the Commission report upon. The working group
did concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation that the
conservation/open space boundaries are a neighborhood defining characteristic and
should remain as presented in the original draft plan, however changed the
amendment process for potential reductions of open space areas to correlate with
designated wetlands. The working group recommended that the existing maximum
building height of 35ft, or two and one-half stories, should be retained and to not
allow an increase to 40ft, or three-stories, through a conditional use permit process as
was initially recommended by the Planning Commission.

Background Studies
To inform the neighborhood planning process a number of studies were completed
and previously presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in support of
this project including:
• A Buildable Lands Inventory (approved November 15, 201 1- ordinance 93055)
provided a basis for evaluation of the amount of available land within the City
Limits and Urban Growth Boundary.
• A Housing Needs Analysis (approved September 3. 2013 - ordinance 83085),
summarized the types of housing that have been developed throughout the
City in the recent decades, as well as the projected needed housing based on
income and population demographics.
• An Executive Summary of Existing Conditions to provide background
information for the Normal plan area including the results of a resident survey
conducted in June-July 2012.
• An analysis of five components of the neighborhood design including
infrastructure, mobility, sustainability, open space and greenways, and
housing and land use.
o Infrastructure Framework
o Sustainability Framework
o Mobility Framework
o Greenway and Open space Framework
o Housing and Land Use Framework
• The traffic engineering firm SO Alliance completed an Existing Traffic
Conditions technical memorandum (dated September 5, 2012) , and a Future
Traffic Analysis (dated November 19, 2013) to investigate current and future
traffic conditions in the Normal Neighborhood Plan study area.
B. Detailed Description of the Site and Proposal
The Normal Neighborhood Plan District is situated between East Main Street to the
north and the railroad tracks to the south, Clay Street to the east and the Ashland
Middle School to the west. Currently, the 94 acre area has a mix of Comprehensive
Plan designations including single family residential and suburban residential, and is
presently outside the City of Ashland (City) city limits but within the City Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB).
This area constitutes the largest remaining area of residentially designated land that is
suitable for medium- to high-density development which remains largely vacant or
redevelopable. The plan area contains 35 properties ranging in size between 0.38
acres up to 9.96 acres. There are 26 property owners within the plan area with a
number owning multiple parcels. Residential development in the plan area has
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 5 of 16
historically been low density large lot single family homes consistent with Jackson
County's rural residential zoning standards.
The Normal Neighborhood Plan District includes significant natural features
including Cemetery Creek, Clay Creek, and three designated wetlands (\A/'9,W 12,
W4) that are included on the City of Ashland 2007 Local Wetland Inventory (LWI).
The local wetland inventory was approved by the Department of State Lands (DSL)
which means the LWI is part of the Statewide Wetland Inventory. During the course
of this project property owners have completed new wetland delineations for two of
the three significant wetlands within the project area (W12 & W4). These new
delineations for W4 and W12 were recently approved by DSL (WD-2014-0255 &
WD-2014-0269) effectively reducing the areas that are regulated as wetlands at this
point in time. The last remaining large wetland (W9) within the project area is
located on multiple properties adjacent to Ashland Middle School. Staff understands
that one of the property owners (Grace Point Church) has recently conducted a study
of the W9 wetland on their property. This delineation has been submitted to DSL for
review but has yet to be approved. Approved wetland delineations are only valid for
five years from the date of DSL's approval. Therefore, with any annexation proposal
the City of Ashland will require demonstration that DSL has approved a formal
delineation within 5 years of the application.
The Normal Neighborhood Plan is comprised of Normal Neighborhood Plan
Framework document, official Normal Neighborhood Plan maps, amendments to the
Transportation System Plan and street standards, and the proposed Normal
Neighborhood District land use ordinance amendments (Ch. 18-3.4). Collectively
these documents provide the underlying conceptual and regulatory structure for area's
future development. Development of this area is expected to occur in an incremental
way, as individual parcels propose annexation for specific housing developments. An
adopted neighborhood plan allows individual development proposals to better
coordinate the provision of streets, pedestrian connections, utilities, storm water
management, and open space. Such an approach can ultimately help reduce
development costs through appropriate sizing of needed facilities, provision of
easements, and secured street access. Additionally a significant benefit of an adopted
plan is a clear expectation and understanding regarding the level of development
anticipated by both developers and neighboring residents. In this way the
development and annexation process for all properties with the plan area is
streamlined while ensuring the City can accommodate its future growth in a
systematic and efficient manner.
The proposal involves Comprehensive Plan Map amendments, Transportation System
Plan amendments, as well as amendments to the proposed Ashland Unified Land Use
Ordinance (ULUO). The proposed implementation plan includes:
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 6 of 16
• Adopting the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework document as a
supporting document to the City's Comprehensive Plan and designation of
the Normal Neighborhood District within the Comprehensive Plan map.
• Adoption of official Normal Neighborhood Plan maps:
o Land Use Designations Map (NN-1-5, NN-1-3.5, NN-l -3.5-C, NN-2)
o Street Network
o Pedestrian and Bicycle Network
o Street network: Green Streets
o Open Space Network
• Amending the Transportation System Plan (TSP) as follows:
o Amend the Street Dedication Map (TSP Figure 10-1) to incorporate
the plan area's proposed Street Network, and reclassification of
Normal "Avenue" to be a Neighborhood Collector.
o Amend the Planned Intersection and Roadway Improvement Map
(TSP Figure 10-3) to include East Main Street as a Planned Roadway
Project.
o Amend the Planned Bikeway Network Map to incorporate the planned
multiuse trails within the Normal Neighborhood Plan.
• Amend the Street Standards (18.4.6) to add a new Shared Street
classification.
• Amending the Land Use Ordinance to include a new Chapter 18.3.4 Normal
Neighborhood District, to guide and direct both public and private
improvements. Additionally, amendments to Chapter 18.2.1.020 and
18.2.1.040 are proposed to provide reference to, and consistency with, the
Normal Neighborhood District.
II. Project Impact
A. Approval Process and Noticing
The proposal involves Comprehensive Plan and Transportation System Plan
amendments, as well as additions and revisions to the Ashland Land Use Ordinance
necessary to implement the Normal Neighborhood Plan. The Planning Commission
makes a recommendation on the package of amendments, and the City Council makes
the final decision.
Approximately 200 written notices (postcards) were mailed to property owners in and
surrounding the Normal Neighborhood District boundary regarding the Planning
Commission public hearing (July 28, 2015) and City Council public hearing
(September 1, 2015). A notice was published in the newspaper on July 8, 2015, and
a meeting announcement was emailed to residents and interested parties on July 13,
2015. Meeting announcements and plan materials are posted on the project web page

B. Proposal Impact
Planned Housing Types and Land Use Designations
The proposed Normal Neighborhood District will contain four residential zones, NN-
1-5, NN-1-3.5, NN-1-3.5-C, NN-2. The use regulations and development standards
set forth in the proposed land use ordinance (Ch. 18.3.4) for these zones are intended
to be largely consistent with existing zoning standards within the City, while
providing a significant degree of flexibility as to the form and character of individual
developments. Affordable housing with the plan area would be provided by future
development as a condition of annexation consistent with current requirements. The
Normal Neighborhood Land Use Zones map establishes the proposed designations for
the properties within the district.
NN-1-5:
The Land Use designation NN-1-5 is intended to provide single family dwellings,
accessory residential units, and cottage housing with a base density of 4.5 units
per acre. The draft ordinance includes a reserved section for the "cottage housing"
type to be consistent with standards to be proposed under a separate legislative
planning action for all single family zones within the city.
NN-1-3.5
The NN-1-3.5 designation provides housing opportunities for individual
households through development of a mix of single-dwelling housing, apartments,
townhomes, accessory residential units, and pedestrian oriented clustered housing
with a base density of 7.2 units per acre. Clustered housing, commonly referred to
as "pocket neighborhoods", are a new housing type envisioned for the plan area
where multiple compact detached or attached dwellings are grouped around
common open space. The Normal Neighborhood Plan, and draft land use
ordinance amendments, include example illustrations primarily intended to assist
those involved in conceptualizing a development to better address the principle
objectives outlined within the Normal Neighborhood Plan. Through the
consolidation of common open space and or parking cluster housing
developments can often achieve a housing density comparable to attached row
houses or low-rise apartments, yet with a lower profile retaining the appearance of
traditional single-family homes.
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 8 of 16
NN-2
The NN-2 land use designation is intended to address Ashland's housing needs
through development of multi-dwelling housing with a base density of 13.5 units
per acre.
NN-1-3.5-C
The NN-1 -3.5-C zone is a residential designation consistent with NN-1-3.5
(above), however it would additionally allow for limited neighborhood serving
commercial uses, such as a coffee shop, on the ground floor.
Upon review of the initial draft of the plan on March 27, 2014, The Housing and
Human Services Commission expressed that they felt strongly that this area is a
major source of future growth in the City. The Commission specifically noted that
affordable housing is an important component of our City, and will be integral to
future development of this neighborhood. This plan and code maintain the City's
existing density bonuses and annexation requirements for the provision of affordable
housing units. In addition, the Neighborhood Plan, and proposed Land Use
Ordinance, encourage more diversity in housing and increased intensity of
development in those areas where the context and capacity for density is most
appropriate. The result should be increases in housing supply, housing options, and
housing affordability. The various land use designations, and flexibility in housing
types permitted, create a complete neighborhood, accessible to a full range of ages
and abilities. There will be units for sale or rent; small, and large; and attached and
detached units.
Greenway and Open Space
The plan's approach to the greenway and open space framework is establish
designated open space areas to include both water resource protection areas and
recreational open space. As proposed these areas are to include FEMA's 100 year
floodplain, Ashland's designated floodplain boundaries, wetlands identified in the
2007 Local Wetland Inventory (LWI), and wetland and riparian buffer areas
identified in the Water Resource Protection Zone ordinance. Precluding development
in these areas will reduce or prevent the detrimental effects of flood waters, support
native vegetation, provide habitat and travel corridors for wildlife, and promote
environmental quality by absorbing, storing, and releasing storm water. The Open
Space Network Map shows the areas intended to be preserved as natural areas or open
space within the district which absent of any environmental constraints could
additionally provide recreational amenities to the districts residents. In the future
event that a Department of State Lands approved wetland delineation differs from the
boundaries presented in the 2007 LWI, and Normal Neighborhood Plan Open Space
map, an applicant could apply for a minor plan amendment to alter the boundary to
reflect the then current delineation.

Clay Creek and Cemetery Creek are contained within designated open spaces which
include all areas within the FEMA 100 year floodplain, City of Ashland Floodplain,
and regulated riparian areas. Streams and wetlands will be maintained as amenities
with access to area residents due to the carefully considered transportation network
that ensures that these areas are not hidden in back yards. Accommodation of the
pedestrian, bicycle, and automobile circulation along the edges of the riparian zones
and designated wetlands provides visual and physical access and increases the buffer
zones between pockets of development enhancing the character of openness within
the plan area.
Transportation
The Normal Neighborhood Plan includes a transportation framework that would be
implemented by the proposed amendments to the Transportation System Plan (TSP)
and Normal Neighborhood District Standards. The mobility section or the Normal
Neighborhood Plan Framework includes a street network, a pedestrian and bicycle
framework, and a green street framework. The general location of future roads and
paths is addressed by the Normal Neighborhood Plan Street Network Map, although
design and engineering at the time of the actual development will determine their
precise locations. The proposed Street Network additionally includes designations for
streets within the plan area that are to be developed as "green streets" designed to
capture and treat storm water in conformance with the City of Ashland Storm
Water Master Plan. The proposed street network would amend to the TSP's Street
Dedication Map (Figure 10-1) for the Normal Neighborhood District area.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Network map includes facilities incorporated into the
streets, as well as off-road multi-use paths including the establishment of two paths
crossings Cemetery Creek, paths or shared streets along the west side of Cemetery
Creek, a path connecting the terminus of the existing Normal Avenue to East main
Street, and a connection from the plan area to the eastern boundary of the Ashland
Middle School property. The proposed multi-use paths would amend to the TSP's
Planned Bikeway Network Map (Figure 8-1) for the Normal Neighborhood District
area.
The Normal Avenue neighborhood's internal street network has largely been
designed to keep travel speeds in the range of 20 mph by introducing elements such
as a planted median, small traffic circles, and subtle changes in direction at block
intersections. The backbone of the street network is a re-routed neighborhood
collector that extends from the southern intersection at a future improved Rail Road
Crossing, to East Main Street between Clay Creek and Cemetery Creek. Given the
anticipated traffic volumes on this new road being approximately 1000 average daily
trips it is not necessary that it be classified as an "Avenue" but rather a
"Neighborhood Collector" designation would suffice. Neighborhood Collectors are
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 10 of 16
expected to accommodate 1500 to 5000 vehicle trips per day and as such this lesser
classification would adequately accommodate expected use.
The Normal Neighborhood plan also introduces a street type that was recently
included in the Transportation System Plan: the "shared street". A shared street is a
very low speed street where all of the functions of the transportation system coexist in
the same space. There are no individual sidewalks separated from the street surface
by curbs and planted medians. There are no bicycle lanes separated from the street by
painted lines. The low volumes, low-speeds, narrow cross-section, and traffic calming
design elements make it possible for all users safely occupy the street surface by
yielding to the slowest and most vulnerable present at a given moment. The proposed
amendments to the Street Design Standards within the Ashland Municipal Code
(18.4.6) codify the new shared street classification.
The use of rear lane alleys helps to reduce the extent of paved areas, and will support
a complete grid of finely-grained urban blocks. These alleys will provide the primary
access to garages and backyards. The specific alley locations within the designated
blocks is left to future development site design considerations, subject to the
maximum block length and parking access standards. As such those potential alley
locations most subject to adjustment are not included in the Street Network map but it
is expected that future development will provide alleys to meet access management
and connectivity standards.
The Future Traffic Analysis report by SO Alliance found that all existing
intersections in vicinity of the project are expected to continue to function within
operational standards in the year 2038 at full build out of the neighborhood plan area.
The report recommended that East Main Street should be improved to comply with
existing City standards, including the installation of a center turn lane at designated
intersections. The improved Avenue could accommodate vehicular, pedestrian and
bike traffic, and that each of the proposed street intersections with East Main Street
would function within applicable operational standards according to the report.
The Planning Commission, Transportation Commission, and Working Gorup have
each spent considerable time discussing the needed street improvements along East
Main Street from Walker Ave. to Clay Street. The Planning Commission had
previously recommended that "The south side of East Main Street, from Walker
Avenue to Clay Street, should be fully improved to City Street Standards prior to, or
coinciding with any future annexation and development within the plan area. The
Transportation Commissions most recent recommendation was that a partial
improvement of East Main Street (such as full improvements 250' on either side of a
proposed intersection) could be considered to address traffic impacts demonstrated in
a Traffic Impact Analysis provided "...at a minimum, a sidewalk is to be developed
between Walker and Clay Street. " to address pedestrian and bicycle demand in the

• Inclusion of mandatory standards relating to storm water management.
• Alignment of streets and zoning to provide direct East-west connections with
a more grid-like street pattern while aiming to locate new streets along
existing property lines.
• The inclusion of "neighborhood module" illustrations within the plan
framework to provide general examples of characteristics that would help
make a neighborhood module successful including a diversity of housing
types accessible to a range of ages, family sizes, and income levels, common
center greens and community gardens, and alley accessed parking areas.
III. Procedural - Required Burden of Proof
18.5 Application Review Procedures and Approval Criteria
18.5.9.010 Purpose
This chapter contains the procedure for amending the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and Land Use Control
Maps, and Land Use Ordinance.
18.5.9.020 Applicability and Review Procedure
Applications for Plan Amendments and Zone Changes are as follows:
A. Type II. The Type II procedure is used for applications involving zoning map amendments consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan map, and minor map amendments or corrections. Amendments under this section
may be approved if in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the application demonstrates that one
or more of the following.
1. The change implements a public need, other than the provision of affordable housing, supported
by the Comprehensive Plan.
2. A substantial change in circumstances has occurred since the existing zoning or Plan designation
was proposed, necessitating the need to adjust to the changed circumstances.
3. Circumstances relating to the general public welfare exist that require such an action.
4. Proposed increases in residential zoning density resulting from a change from one zoning district
to another zoning district, will provide 25 percent of the proposed base density as affordable
housing consistent with the approval standards set forth in subsection 18.5.8.050.G.
5. Increases in residential zoning density of four units or greater on commercial, employment, or
industrial zoned lands (i.e., Residential Overlay), will not negatively impact the City's commercial
and industrial land supply as required in the Comprehensive Plan, and will provide 25 percent of
the proposed base density as affordable housing consistent with the approval standards set forth in
subsection 18.5.8.050.G.
6. The total number of affordable units described in 18.5.9.020.A, subsections 4 or 5, above, shall be
determined by rounding down fractional answers to the nearest whole unit. A deed restriction, or
similar legal instrument, shall be used to guarantee compliance with affordable criteria for a period
of not less than 60 years. 18.5.9.020.A, subsections 4 and 5 do not apply to Council initiated
actions.
B. Type W. It may be necessary from time to time to make legislative amendments in order to conform with
the Comprehensive Plan or to meet other changes in circumstances or conditions. The Type III procedure
applies to the creation, revision, or large-scale implementation of public policy requiring City Council
approval and enactment of an ordinance; this includes adoption of regulations, zone changes for large
areas, zone changes requiring comprehensive plan amendment, comprehensive plan map or text
amendment, annexations (see chapter 18.5.8 for annexation information), and urban growth boundary
amendments. The following planning actions shall be subject to the Type III procedure.
Planning Action PL#2013-01858 Ashland Planning Division - Staff Report bg
Applicant: City of Ashland Page 13 of 16
1. Zone changes or amendments to the Zoning Map or other official maps, except where minor
amendments or corrections may be processed through the Type II procedure pursuant to
subsection 18.5.9.020.A, above.
2. Comprehensive Plan changes, including text and map changes or changes to other official maps.
3. Land Use Ordinance amendments.
4. Urban Growth Boundary amendments.
IV. Conclusions and Recommendations
The planning process which resulted in the Normal neighborhood Plan involved a wide
variety of participants including the general public, property owners and neighboring
residents. Staff believes the revisions that have been made in the development of the
implementation package over the last 2 years have refined and improved the
neighborhood plan, and are largely consistent with the original plan goals and objectives.
Staff recommends the Transportation System Plan be amended to incorporate the Normal
Neighborhood Street network as proposed. Upon review of the Normal Neighborhood
Plan on April 23, 2015 the Transportation Commission recommended approval of the
Street Network and Pedestrian and Bicycle Network as follows:
Accept the presented revised plan as an amendment of the TSP with the following
conditions:
1) Should the development occur along East Main, at a minimum, a
sidewalk is to be developed between Walker and Clay Street.
2) Should the development occur along the railroad tracks, at a minimum,
the railroad crossing needs to be completed.
Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map amendments, adoption of
the official Normal Neighborhood Plan Maps, and adoption of the Normal Neighborhood
Plan Framework as a technical supporting document of the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff recommends approval of the Land Use Ordinance amendments as presented.

SECTION 6. The Ashland Municipal Code Chapter subsection 18.4.6.040 G, Street Design
Standards, is hereby amended to add a new classification of "Shared Street" as follows:
Page 4 of 6
18.4.6.040.G.8
Shared Street
Provides access to residential uses in an area in which right-of-way is constrained by
natural features, topography or historically significant structures. The constrained ripht-
of-way prevents typical bicvcle and pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes.
Therefore, the entire width of the street is collectively shared by pedestrians, bicycles, and
autos. The design of the street should emphasize a slower speed environment and provide
clear physical and visual indications the space is shared across modes. See FiLyure
18.4.6.040.G.8.
Prototypical Section: Shared Street
'4~ at

Figure 18.4.6.040.G.8
Shared Street
Street Function: Provide vehicular, epedestrian, and bicycle nei hborhood circulation
and access to individual residential and commercial properties designed to encourage
socializinLy with neighbors, outdoor play for children, and creating comfortable spaces for
walking and biking.
Connectivity: Connects to all types of streets.
Averap-e Dailv Traffic: 1,500 or less motor vehicle trips per day
Managed Speed: Motor vehicle travel speeds should be below 15 mph
Rip_ht-of-Way Width: 25'
Page 5 of 6
Pavement width: 18' minimum, maintaining full fire truck access and minimum
turning paths at all changes in alil4nment and intersections.
Motor Vehicle Travel Lanes: Minimum 12' clear width.
Bike Lanes: Not applicable, bicyclists can share the travel lane and easily negotiate these
low use areas

18.3.4.010 Purpose
The neighborhood is designed to provide an environment for traditional neighborhood living. The
Normal Neighborhood Plan is a blueprint for promoting a variety of housing types while preserving open
spaces, stream corridors, wetlands, and other significant natural features. The neighborhood
commercial area is designated to promote neighborhood serving businesses with building designs that
reflect the character of the neighborhood and where parking is managed through efficient on-street and
off-street parking resources. The neighborhood will be characterized by a connected network of streets
and alleys, paths and trails, with connection to the natural areas, wetlands, and streams. This network
will also connect to the larger network of regional trails, paths, and streets beyond the boundaries of the
neighborhood. The development of the neighborhood will apply principles of low impact development to
minimize the extent and initial cost of new infrastructure and to promote the benefits of storm water
management.
18.3.4.020 Applicability
This chapter applies to properties designated as Normal Neighborhood District on the Ashland Zoning
Map, and pursuant to the Normal Neighborhood Plan adopted by Ordinance [#number (date)].
Development located within the Normal Neighborhood District is required to meet all applicable
sections of this ordinance, except as otherwise provided in this chapter; where the provisions of this
chapter conflict with comparable standards described in any other ordinance, resolution or regulation, the
provisions of the Normal Neighborhood District shall govern.

e.The proposed amendment is necessary to accommodate physical constraints evident on
the property, or to protect significant natural features such as trees, rock outcroppings,
streams, wetlands, water resource protection zones, or similar natural features, or to
adjust to existing property lines between project boundaries.
3. Minor Amendment - Type 1 Procedure. A minor amendment to the Normal Neighborhood
Development Plan which is subject to an administrative decision under the Type I
Procedure. Minor amendments are subject to the Exception to the Site Design and Use
Development Standards of chapter 18.5.2.050.E.
18.3.4.040 Use Regulations
A. Plan overlay zones. There are four Land Use Designation Overlays zones within the Normal
Neighborhood Plan are intended to accommodate a variety of housing opportunities, preserve natural
areas and provide open space.
1. Plan NN-1-5 zone The use regulations and development standards are intended to create,
maintain and promote single-dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of housing types are
allowed, in addition to the detached single dwelling. Development standards that are largely the
same as those for single dwellings ensure that the overall image and character of the single-dwelling
neighborhood is maintained.
2. Plan NN-1-3.5 zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to create,
maintain and promote single-dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of housing types are
allowed including multiple compact attached and/or detached dwellings. Dwellings may be grouped
around common open space promoting a scale and character compatible with single family homes.
Development standards that are largely the same as those for single dwellings ensure that the
overall image and character of the single-dwelling neighborhood is maintained.
3. Plan NN-1-3.5-C zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to provide
housing opportunities for individual households through development of multiple compact attached
and/or detached dwellings with the added allowance for neighborhood-serving commercial mixed-
uses so that many of the activities of daily living can occur within the Normal Neighborhood. The
public streets within the vicinity of the NN-1-3.5-C overlay are to provide sufficient on-street parking
to accommodate ground floor neighborhood business uses.
Page 3 of 12
4. Plan NN-2 zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to create and
maintain a range of housing choices, including multi-family housing within the context of the
residential character of the Normal-Neighborhood Plan.
B. Normal Neighborhood Plan Residential Building Types. The development standards for the
Normal Neighborhood Plan will preserve neighborhood character by incorporating four distinct land use
overlay areas with different concentrations of varying housing types.
1. Single Dwelling Residential Unit.
A Single Dwelling Residential Unit is a detached residential building that contains a single dwelling
with self-contained living facilities on one lot. It is separated from adjacent dwellings by private open
space in the form of side yards and backyards, and set back from the public street or common green
by a front yard. Auto parking is generally on the same lot in a garage, carport, or uncovered area.
The garage may be detached or attached to the dwelling structure.
2. Accessory Residential Unit.
An Accessory Residential Unit is a secondary dwelling unit on a lot, either attached to the single-
family dwelling or in a detached building located on the same lot with a single-family dwelling, and
having an independent means of entry.
3. Double Dwelling Residential Unit (Duplex).
A Double Dwelling Residential Unit is a residential building that contains two dwellings located on a
single lot, each with self-contained living facilities. Double Dwelling Residential Units must share a
common wall or a common floor/ ceiling and are similar to a Single Dwelling Unit in appearance,
height, massing and lot placement.
4. Attached Residential Unit. (Townhome, Row house)
An Attached Residential Unit is single dwelling located on an individual lot which is attached along
one or both sidewalls to an adjacent dwelling unit. Private open space may take the form of front
yards, backyards, or upper level terraces. The dwelling unit may be set back from the public street or
common green by a front yard.
5. Clustered Residential Units - Pedestrian-Oriented.
Pedestrian-Oriented Clustered Residential Units are multiple dwellings grouped around common
open space that promote a scale and character compatible with single family homes. Units are
typically arranged around a central common green under communal ownership. Auto parking is
generally grouped in a shared surface area or areas.
6. Multiple Dwelling Residential Unit.
Page 4 of 12
Multiple Dwelling Residential Units are multiple dwellings that occupy a single building or multiple
buildings on a single lot. Dwellings may take the form of condominiums or apartments. Auto parking
is generally provided in a shared parking area or structured parking facility.
7. Cottage Housing. (Reserved)
C. General Use Regulations. Uses and their accessory uses are permitted, special permitted or
conditional uses in the Normal Neighborhood Plan area as listed in the Land Use Table.

loading areas, except for residential uses where one space shall be provided per
residential unit.
6. Neighborhood Module Concept plans. The Neighborhood Module Concept plans (i.e.
development scenarios) are for the purpose of providing an example of developments that
conform to the standards, and do not constitute independent approval criteria. Concept plans
are attached to the end of this chapter.
18.3.4.65 Exception to the Site Development and Design Standards
An exception to the requirements Site Development and Design Standards must follow the procedures and
approval criteria adopted under section 18.4.1.030, unless authorized under the procedures for a major
amendment to plan.
18.3.4.070. Open Space Area Overlay
All projects containing land identified as Open Space Areas on the Normal Neighborhood Plan Open Space
Network Map, unless otherwise amended per section 18.3.030.C, must dedicate those areas as: common
areas, public open space, or private open space protected by restrictive covenant. It is recognized that the
master planning of the properties as part of the Normal Neighborhood Plan imparted significant value to the
land, and the reservation of lands for recreational open space and conservation purposes is proportional to
the value bestowed upon the property through the change in zoning designation and future annexation.
18.3.4.075. Advance Financing District [Reserved]
18.3.4.080. Review and Approval Procedure. All land use applications are to be reviewed and processed
in accordance with the applicable procedures of Part 18.5.

Neighborhood Module Concept plans
The City recognizes that future innovations in building technologies, water conservation practices, and
creative approaches to site design and layout will help shape the neighborhood module concept in
consideration of the unique characteristics of the properties being developed. As such these example
illustrations presented are primarily intended to assist those involved in conceptualizing a development to
better address the principle objectives outlined within the Normal Neighborhood Plan.

Planning Commission Report
DATE: April 22, 2014
TO: Ashland City Council
FROM: Ashland Planning Commission
RE: PA420130-1858 Normal Neighborhood Plan
Planning Commission Recommendations
Summary
The Ashland Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 11, 2014 related to the
Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Map, Transportation System Plan, and Ashland Land Use
Ordinance amendments proposed to implement the Normal Neighborhood Plan (Planning Action 2013-
01858). The Commission concluded their review on April 8t" and following discussion and deliberation
unanimously recommended the City Council approve of the Normal Neighborhood Plan with a number
of specific recommendations as outlined in this report.
The Normal Neighborhood Plan area is one of the last sizeable tracts of largely undeveloped land
designated for residential purposes in Ashland's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The future
development of this area is expected to contribute toward accommodating long range population growth
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and Ashland's position in the Greater Bear Creek Valley
Regional Problem Solving Plan (RPS). The Planning Commission recognizes in order to maintain a
compact urban form and to ensure the orderly and sequential development of land (Comprehensive Plan
Goal 12.09) that neighborhood planning is an appropriate tool for this area. The creation of a
neighborhood plan in this area is particularly valuable as over three decades of development has
occurred in the area, under county standards, since the original Comprehensive Plan land use
designations were assigned to the area. Consideration of the area's existing pattern of development,
presence of water resource protection areas, existing and projected traffic volumes, and public testimony
.has allowed the Planning Commission to better understand the development constraints within the plan
area, and carefully address the coordinated provision of open space, transportation, infrastructure, and
housing.
Recommendations
The Planning Commission identified two categories of recommended amendments, those changes that
are minor editorial corrections, and those changes that have broader policy implications. Amendments
that are editorial in nature and necessary to clarify terminology and provide inter-document consistency
are to be included in the final documents presented to the City Council. A list of these editorial changes
is attached to this report (Appendix A). The Commission's recommendations pertaining to allowable
land use standards, the stated purpose of open space, and the extent and timing of transportation system
improvements are addressed in this report as specific recommendations for Council's consideration.
Comprehensive Plan Change and Land Use Designations
The Planning Commission supports the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments and Land Use
Designation Overlay Zones as proposed, and recommends the following:
-2-
o Approval of the proposed amendment to the Ashland Comprehensive Plan Map to create a
designation for the Normal Neighborhood Plan District, including revised boundaries for
Conservation Areas within the plan area.
o Adoption of the Normal Neighborhood Plan Land Use Designations Overlay Zone Map.
o Adoption of the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework document as a supporting document
to the City's Comprehensive Plan, with recommended changes to the mobility and open
space chapters as described below.
Mobility (Transportation) Framework
The Planning Commission supports the Street Network, Pedestrian and Bicycle Network, Green Street
Network, Shared Street Standard, and Street Classifications as proposed, and recommends approval of
amendments to the the City Transportation System Plan (TSP) and City Street Standards to incorporate
these elements of the Normal Neighborhood Plan as follows:
o Amend to the Street Dedication Map (TSP Figure 10-1) to incorporate the plan area's
proposed Street Network, and reclassification of Normal "Avenue" to be a Neighborhood
Collector.
o Amend the Planned Intersection and Roadway Improvement Map (TSP Figure 10-3) to
include East Main Street as a Planned Roadway Project.
o Amend the Planned Bikeway Network Map (TSP Figure 8-1) to incorporate the planned
multi-use trails within the Normal Neighborhood Plan.
o Amend the Street Design Standards within the Street Standards Handbook to incorporate the
Shared Street classification.
The Planning Commission has specific recommendations relating to the timing of transportation
improvements associated with the future development of the plan area. In order to address current and
future transportation along to East Main Street, the Commission recommends the mobility chapter of the
Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework Document be amended to reflect the following:
• The south side of East Main Street, from Walker Avenue to Clay Street, should be fully
improved to City Street Standards prior to, or coinciding with any future annexation and
development within the plan area.
• A future transit stop coordinated with the Rogue Valley Transportation District, in the
immediate vicinity of the NN-03 Land Use Zone, should be incorporated into the East Main
Street roadway design and development.
• That prior to annexation and development within the plan area the following items relating to
the future Railroad crossing at Normal Avenue be addressed:
o That the proposed public Rail Road crossing can be installed without necessitating the
closure of any existing public crossing within the City.
o A financing plan be developed and approved by the City for the future improvement of
the rail road crossing.
Open Space Framework
The Planning Commission supports the Comprehensive Plan map amendment to establish designated
Conservation Ares as proposed, which include the Cemetery Creek and Clay Creek 100 year
Floodplains, Wetlands identified in the 2007 Local Wetland Inventory, and wetland and riparian buffer

areas consistent with the Water Resource Protection Zones. The Planning Commission further supports
the Open Space Network map as presented and recommends approval of these plan elements.
The Planning Commission has determined that the provision of open space within the plan area has
environmental, recreational, and aesthetic value to the neighborhood. The contiguous open space
corridors are a neighborhood defining characteristic and as such the Planning Commission recommends
the Normal Neighborhood Plan Framework Document's Greenway and Open Space chapter be amended
to further emphasize the community value of open space retention with a concluding statement on page
14 as follows:
The Normal Neighborhood's distinctive character is shaped by the presence of prominent open
spaces and natural areas. The preservation of these neighborhood defining features is central to
the success of the neighborhood plan as they ensure the protection of fragile ecosystems, provide
passive recreational opportunities where people can connect with nature, protect scenic views
considered important to the community, protect future development from flood hazards, and
preserve community character and quality of life by buffering areas of development from one
another. The permanent establishment of interconnected open spaces and contiguous
conservation areas as proposed in the Open Space Framework is essential to promote and
maintain high quality residential development which is appropriate to the distinct character of
the neighborhood.
Land Use Ordinance
The proposed Normal Neighborhood District Land Use Ordinance will be reviewed as part of a separate
legislative process as it is to be incorporated into the Unified Land Use Ordinance (ULUO) process
presently underway. However, given the interrelated nature of the Normal Neighborhood Plan elements
the Planning Commission took testimony regarding the draft Normal Neighborhood District Land Use
Ordinance at March l lt" public hearing in order to evaluate the draft ordinance and formulate
recommendations for the Council's consideration. The Planning Commission supports the draft land use
ordinance's mix of land uses, housing types and proposed densities, Site Development and Design
Standards, and flexibility afforded by the proposed major and minor amendment provisions, with
following recommended policy change:
• The Commission recommends the dimensional regulations in the proposed land use ordinance
(18-3.13.050) and the review procedures be amended to include a Conditional Use Permit to
increase building height from the proposed 35ft and 2'/2 story maximum up to 40ft and 3-
stories exclusively within the NN-03 and NN-03C zones. The Commission finds that such a
change would provide applicants greater site and building design flexibility in achieving the
stated densities (15 units per acre) within the NN-03 and NN-03-C zones, while retaining a
publically noticed review process to evaluate the bulk and scale of proposed buildings to
ensure neighborhood compatibility is preserved.
Conclusion
Through the two year public neighborhood planning process the Planning Commission has evaluated the
impacts of future development in consideration the of goal to ensure a variety of dwelling types and
provide housing opportunities for the total cross section of Ashland's population, consistent with
preserving the character and appearance of the City (Comprehensive Plan goal 6.10). The resulting

neighborhood plan strives to preserve the character of the neighborhood, accommodate a variety of
housing types, connect a system of greenways, protect and integrate existing creek corridors and
wetlands, and enhance mobility for area residents through establishing safe and direct walking and
bicycle routes. The Planning Commission finds the Normal Neighborhood Plan, with the additional
recommendations included in this report, achieves these objectives and will be a valuable guide for
future annexation and development of properties within the 94 acre area.

Appendix A
Editorial Changes incorporated into the final plan documents
The editorial changes recommended by the Planning Commission and Staff were needed to clarify
terminology and provide inter-document consistency. These changes have already been incorporated
into the draft documents presented to the City Council for consideration. The following lists the specific
changes that were made to the plan documents presented at the first public hearing on March 11, 2014:
• Amend the framework document (page 7) under Double Dwellings to strike NN-01 as a zone
where they are permitted.
• Amend the Framework Document to alter references to Pedestrian Oriented Cluster Housing
(e.g top of page 7) to be consistent with the description of the Housing Type as written on
page 8.
• Amend the Framework Document to eliminate statements that stipulate that rear alleys "help
to eliminate pavement" as although true in sorne site configurations it is not universally true
in all circumstances (pg 16).
• Amend the Framework Document's "Use Table" on page 10 to include Pedestrian Oriented
Cluster Housing as permitted in NN-02 and NN-03 consistent with the draft Land Use
Ordinance.
• Amend the draft Land Use Code 18-3.13.040 as follows:
o A2: The use regulations and development standards are intended to create, maintain and
promote single-dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of housing types are allowed
including multiple compact attached and/or detached dwellings. Dwellings may be
grouped around common open space promoting a scale and character compatible with
single family homes. Development standards that are largely the same as those for single
dwellings ensure that the overall image and character of the single-dwelling
neighborhood is maintained.
o 135: Pedestrian Oriented Cluster residential Units are multiple dwellings grouped around
common open space that promote a scale and character compatible with single family
homes. Units are typically arranged around a central common green under communal
ownership. Auto Parking is generally grouped in a shared surface area or areas.
o 137: Add a place holder for a Cottage Housing description consistent with the Unified
Land Use Ordinance.
• Amend the draft Land Use Code 18-3.13.050 to read as follows:
o B 1(e). Accessory residential units shall be included for the purposes of meeting
minimum density calculation requirements for residential annexations as described in 18-
5.7.050F.
o 132(b): Cottage Housing. In the NN-01 zone, developments meeting the standards of
section 18-2.3.090 Cottage housing shall receive a density bonus consistent with 18-
x.xx.xxx .(to reference the density bonus putforth in the ULUO)
• Amend the draft Land Use Code 18-3-13.060 to read as follows:
A3(a): Automobile Access to development is intended to be provided by alleys where
possible consistent with the street connectivity approval standards.

Memo -ASHLAND
TO: Ashland City Council
FROM: Normal Neighborhood Plan Working Group
DATE: December 2, 2014
RE: Normal Neighborhood Plan Recommendations
Vision Statement
Neighborhood planning is the process by which the City works with Ashland's residents to
envision the future of the neighborhood. The eventual incorporation of the Normal Neighborhood Plan
area into the City depends on careful consideration of the neighborhood's unique identity and character
and a holistic planning approach. The Normal Neighborhood Working Group envisions a neighborhood
that is notable for the natural beauty of the area's wetlands and creeks, mountain views, diversity of
households, and as an area which accommodates bicycling and walking as a reliable and convenient way
to move throughout the area.
Local streams, wetlands, and scenic vistas contribute significantly to define the character of the
Normal Neighborhood. The quality of the place is enhanced by these features and the wildlife that they
attract. Connected and contiguous open spaces should remain as central features of the area's future
development as they help reflect the community of Ashland's commitment to promote environmental
quality, provide recreational opportunities, and function to incorporate nature into the daily lives of the
area's residents.
The neighborhood should provide for a range of housing choices available a diversity of
Ashland's population. The neighborhood can accommodate a blend of housing types including
individual residences, townhomes, apartments, moderately sized cottages, pedestrian oriented cluster
housing, and mixed-use neighborhood serving businesses. Future developments should be designed to
relate to, and complement, adjacent properties. Incorporating unifying elements between adjacent
developments will serve to promote neighborhood cohesiveness, provide open space in a coordinated
manner, and secure an efficient circulation system. Given the immediate proximity to existing schools,
parks, and local business areas the neighborhood is recognized as place where children can readily walk
and bike to schools through a safe, desirable family-based neighborhood.
The Normal Neighborhood Plan Working Group believes a neighborhood plan is necessary to
address long-term community goals, unify expectations, and integrate the project area into the fabric of
the City. The implementation standards for the neighborhood plan should be strong enough to maintain
the vision for the area, yet flexible enough to respond to changing conditions and adapt over time.

Recommendations
Land Use and Housing Density:
1. Housing Density gradation should move from south to north. This would place higher density
development near the railroad tracks and within a relatively short distance to transit lines, parks
and community facilities. This approach will also protect the existing viewshed.
2. Zoning designations applied within the Normal neighborhood area should be consistent with the
zoning of adjacent land within the City Limits, and use zoning labels that are comparable to
those used in the rest of the city while recognizing the Normal Neighborhood (NN) district.
3. Maintain option for neighborhood serving businesses and services close to East Main St near the
northeast corner of the plan area.
Open Space:
1. Maintain the approach toward designation of open space and conservation areas proposed in the
draft plan. Amend the plan to allow non-conservation open space to be relocated requiring a
minor amendment application.
2. Obtain a review of the final plan by the Parks Department prior to adoption.
Design issues:
1. Maintain a maximum building height of 35 feet.
2. Encourage the development of clustered housing that integrates with open space and respects the
viewshed.
3. Provide for a smooth transition between adjacent developments to promote neighborhood
cohesiveness, provide open space in a coordinated manner, and secure an efficient circulation
system.
Transportation:
1. The internal transportation system's local street network should incorporate multiple connections
with East Main St as shown, and maintain the Normal Collector as designated in the draft plan.
Additional connections to East Main Street or Clay Street, which are not shown in the proposed
Street Framework, should require a major amendment to the Plan.
2. Internal local streets should be aligned to provide a grid pattern, including clear east-west
connections.
3. Pedestrian and bicycle pathways are critical, especially as a means to connect residents with the
middle school and the existing bike path.
4. External transportation improvements, including the railroad crossing and improvements to East
Main St., are integral and should proceed in concert with development. However, we believe the
city may need to play a role in the financing/implementation of these projects. Accordingly, as a
next step we recommend that the council direct city staff and/or an outside consultant to identify
and quantify:
a. the need and possible means for public investment in the project, and
b. the overall costs and benefits that these facilities present to the entire city.

Project Guiding Principles and Objective
Throughout the process of developing the Normal Neighborhood Plan the Planning Commission,
design team, resident participants engaged in the process, and staff have referenced the following
goals and objectives to help guide discussions about various plan elements:
• Increase efficiency in the use of land through concentration of housing in a centrally
located area within the City UGB planned for future urban development;
• Achieve a development pattern that results in a balanced, multi-modal transportation
system and that enhances opportunities for walking, bicycling or using transit in areas
planned for transit service;
• Delineate housing, neighborhood serving commercial, open space, public space, and
green infrastructure improvements, in a manner that provides for preservation and
enhancement of creeks and wetlands;
• Develop new illustrative conceptual architectural and site plans for the project area
consistent with Transportation and Growth Management objectives. Concepts will meet
the City's and the property owners' development goals and standards.
• Design a local street grid for the project area including connections to existing and
planned street, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities outside the project area to more fully
integrate the project area into the City transportation system;
• Provide for pedestrian and bicycle routes and facility improvements within the project
area that will provide safe access to local schools;
• Provide alternatives to, or delay the need for, expansion of the City UGB;
• Reduce emissions that contribute to climate change through changes to transportation or
land use plans that reduce expected automobile vehicle miles traveled;
• Provide an implementation strategy that includes supporting Comprehensive Plan and
updated TSP amendments, form based codes, and design standards; and
• Present the Plan and documentation necessary to support adoption to City's Planning
Commission (PC) and City Council (Council).
Executive Summary
Normal Neighborhood Reimbursement District
Offsite Infrastructure Construction Cost Estimate and Apportionment of Costs
City of Ashland, Oregon
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the development of the Normal Neighborhood Plan, certain offsite street and utility
improvements/upgrades are needed. The City is proposing to develop said improvements in
participation with properties in the Normal Neighborhood. The offsite improvements addressed by this
study are:
1. Street and utility improvements/upgrades to East Main Street from Walker Avenue to Clay
Street.
2. Improvements to the Normal Avenue railroad crossing at the south end of the neighborhood.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study is to:
1. Determine the cost to make said improvements noted above.
2. Determine an equitable method for all parties to participate in construction of said
improvements.
In addition, estimated construction costs were prepared for street and utility improvements/upgrades
to East Main Street from Clay Street to Tolman Creek Road as a separate analysis.
BACKGROUND:
The Normal Neighborhood" is located in the eastern area of Ashland, bounded roughly by East Main
Street on the north, the Siskiyou Railroad on the south, Ashland Middle School on the west, and
Wingspread Mobile Home Park, Creek Drive, and Clay Street on the east. The neighborhood consists of
34 lots with a total of 472 potential dwelling units under the scenario being considered in the Normal
Neighborhood Plan. Under the existing Comprehensive Plan the area would accommodate
approximately 550 dwelling units. It is anticipated that the costs of improvements be apportioned to
new dwelling units only (i.e. with issuance of a building permit through an advanced financing district),
not the existing 23 homes in the project area. The potential dwelling unit count was provided by the City
Planning Department Staff.
Street and utility improvement costs to upgrade East Main Street to current City of Ashland standards
were estimated based on current improvement costs. The costs were for improvements from Walker
Avenue to Clay Street being approximately 3500 feet long or 0.66 miles. East Main Street in this area
typically consist of approximately 31 feet wide asphaltic concrete pavement roadway with two travel
lanes and two bike lanes. The street right of way is 60 feet.
The proposed street improvements have a couple of different cross-sections. The roadway width would
be 48.5 feet wide from the face of curb on the south side to the face of curb on the north side. There
would be two travel lanes, one center turn lane, and two six foot (6') wide bicycle lanes on each side.
There is not a sidewalk proposed on the north side, only a three foot (3') wide shoulder. The variations
in the street cross-section had to do with the sidewalk area on the south side. Most of the sidewalk
areas will consist of a six foot (6') wide concrete sidewalk separated from the curb with a seven foot (7')
wide planter/bio Swale area. There are some areas because of deep cuts or fills, the sidewalk area was
narrowed to eliminate the planter/bio swale thereby lessening the cost for construction of retaining
walls, etc. In these sections, a six foot (6') wide concrete sidewalk is proposed next to the curb, with a
retaining wall. These improvements will fit within the existing 60 foot wide right of way in most cases.
Some right of way will need to be acquired to accommodate the required centerline radius for this
street classification as well as to provide for a safe driving environment. The cost of right of way
acquisition has been included in the construction cost estimate. Some slope and utility easements will
be required on both sides of the new street, and those have also been calculated and included in the
construction cost estimate.
Also included in the construction cost estimate for East Main Street were sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
waterlines, and power line relocation.
The improvements to East Main Street noted above were analyzed two ways. Overhead power lines are
located on both sides of the street. PP&L lines are on the north side and City of Ashland power lines are
on the south side. Option 1 was to relocate the power lines outside of the street improvements but
leaving them overhead. Option 2 was to remove the overhead power lines and place them
underground. Although Option 2 is more expensive, it is common practice and a requirement in many
cases to move overhead power lines underground when making major street improvements, especially
when most of the right of way will be taken up by the streets and sidewalks, as is the case here. Costs
were primarily based on current ODOT prices and calculated using a standard ODOT construction cost
estimating form/spreadsheet.
In addition to preparing a construction cost estimate for improvements to East Main Street from Walker
Avenue to Clay Street, a separate construction cost estimate was prepared for extending the same
improvements from Clay Street to Tolman Creek Road, approximately 1000 feet further east. The costs
were separated into two options like those noted above. Option 1 was to relocate the power lines
outside of the street improvements but leaving them overhead. Option 2 was to remove the overhead
power lines and place them underground.
The Normal Avenue rail crossing improvement costs were estimated by RH2 Engineers, earlier in the
process. Normal Avenue is proposed to be realigned with a new at grade signalized railroad crossing.
The new realigned section of road would be approximately 720 feet long and consist of two travel lanes,
two bicycle lanes, and six foot (6') wide sidewalks on both sides. The improvements will require
acquisition of right of way which is included in the construction cost estimate.
The City will participate in the cost of improvements to the following extent:
1. 50% SDC Participation for:
a. Street Construction,
b. Sanitary Sewer Construction, and
c. Storm Sewer Construction
2. 0% Participation for:
a. Right of Way Acquisition
b. Power Relocation
c. Waterline Construction
Also included in the construction cost estimates are Engineering, and Contingencies estimated at 62% of
the construction cost.
As discussed earlier, the construction cost estimates are based on spring, 2015 costs. Adjustments to
future cost estimates should be inflated based on the applicable Construction Cost Index rates for this
area. These usually range between 2-3% per year.
CONCLUSION (Summary of Findings):
The estimated construction cost estimates for each option and the apportionment of costs of same are
noted below.

Option 2 - Place Power Lines Underground - Construction Cost Estimate - $1,606,272
Total Construction Cost Estimate Summary - The following is a summary of all estimated construction
costs per option.
Option 1 - Relocate Power Lines Overhead
East Main Street from Walker Avenue to Clay Street: $4,470,765
East Main Street from Clay Street to Tolman Creek Road: $1,489,482
Subtotal: $5,960,247
Normal Avenue Railroad Crossing: $1,316,253
Total Cost Option 1: $7,276,500
Option 2 - Place Power Lines Underground
East Main Street from Walker Avenue to Clay Street: $5,678,224
East Main Street from Clay Street to Tolman Creek Road: $1,606,272
Subtotal: $7,284,496
Normal Avenue Railroad Crossing: $1,316,253
Total Cost Option 2: $8,600,749
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is our recommendation that Option 2 be utilized for this project. Even though the price is higher, it will
be more difficult and unsightly to reposition the overhead power lines. I believe that safe could be
compromised because the proposed street cross-section puts the curb very close to the right-of-way line
and therefore the power lines, which is potentially dangerous for drivers. Also, maintenance will be
much better if the power is underground.
Furthermore, Land Use ordinance 18.4.6.090 requires electric, communication, and related utilities to
be placed underground except where existing physical constraints, such as geologic conditions, streams,
or existing development conditions make underground placement impractical. In the Case of doing
substantial work on East Main Street it seems that under-grounding them is practical.

Executive Summary
Normal Neighborhood Reimbursement District
Offsite Infrastructure Construction Cost Estimate and Apportionment of Costs
Updated April 27, 2015- Reduced East Main Street Improvements
City of Ashland, Oregon
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the development of the Normal Neighborhood Plan, certain offsite street and utility
improvements/upgrades are needed. The City is proposing to develop said improvements in participation with
properties in the Normal Neighborhood. The offsite improvements addressed by this study are:
1. Street and utility improvements/upgrades to East Main Street from Walker Avenue to Clay Street.
2. Improvements to the Normal Avenue railroad crossing at the south end of the neighborhood.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study is to:
1. Determine the cost to make said improvements noted above.
2. Determine an equitable method for all parties to participate in construction of said improvements.
BACKGROUND:
The "Normal Neighborhood" is located in the eastern area of Ashland, bounded roughly by East Main Street on
the north, the Siskiyou Railroad on the south, Ashland Middle School on the west, and Wingspread Mobile Home
Park, Creek Drive, and Clay Street on the east. The neighborhood consists of 34 lots with a total of 472 potential
dwelling units under the scenario being considered in the Normal Neighborhood Plan. Under the existing
Comprehensive Plan the area would accommodate approximately 550 dwelling units. It is anticipated that the
costs of improvements be apportioned to new dwelling units only (i.e. with issuance of a building permit through
an advanced financing district), not the existing 23 homes in the project area. The potential dwelling unit count
was provided by the City Planning Department Staff.
Street and utility improvement costs to upgrade East Main Street to current City of Ashland standards were
estimated based on current improvement costs. East Main Street in this area typically consists of approximately
31 feet wide asphaltic concrete pavement roadway with two travel lanes and two bike lanes. The street right of
way is 60 feet.

EAST MAIN IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY:
General Conditions
In an effort to reduce the cost of the off-site improvements, the limits of the East Main Street reconstruction was
reduced to a 500 feet total length, centered on the proposed intersection of Normal Avenue and East Main Street.
The revised estimate is for a 500 foot long street section containing 2-6 foot wide bike lanes, 2-10 foot wide travel
lanes, and 1-11.5 foot wide turning lane with curb and gutter on both the north and south sides. The use of curb
and gutter is necessary to control surface run-off along the street; eliminate the need for parallel drainage ditches
along both sides of the street and to provide a safer travel surface for bicycles as well as for vehicles.
The original plan for East Main Street was for a modified half street section in that there are no provisions for
sidewalk or parkrows on the north side of the street. The north sidewalk and parkrow would be constructed along
with any future development of north side properties. The 500 foot section would be constructed as previously
proposed with a 43.5 foot width from the face of curb on the south side to the face of curb on the north side. A
six foot wide concrete sidewalk would be constructed on the south side with a 7 foot wide parkrow/bioswale
constructed between the curb and the sidewalk.
An additional 250 foot long street section would be constructed on the east and west ends of the fully improved
street section to accommodate lane tapers. This section would not require curbs or sidewalks but would
necessitate some extensions of the storm sewer to accommodate the extra street width.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks would be constructed on the south side of the street. There are two options to be considered regarding
the limits of the sidewalk to be constructed. One option is to construct sidewalks only within the 500 foot fully
improved section. The other option is to construct sidewalk along the entire street length from Tolman Creek
Road to Walker Ave. Estimates have been prepared for both of the following options:
Option No. 1
This option would construct sidewalks only within the fully improved 500 foot street section. The remainder of
the walk would be completed in the future when E. Main Street is fully improved. This option would be far less
costly but would provide no pedestrian connectivity.
Option No. 2
The second option would provide a continuous sidewalk along the south side of East Main from Tolman Creek
Road to Walker Avenue. This option would provide several immediate benefits including:
1. Providing pedestrian connectivity to the westerly section of East Main Street, to Walker Avenue, Clay Street and
Tolman Creek Road all of which have existing sidewalk systems.
2. Provide a safe route to school for students at Ashland Middle School, John Muir School, Walker School and
Willow Wind School.
3. Provide additional street width for a full width bike lane on the south side of the street.
April 27. 2015 Executive Summary -Normal Neighborhood Reimbursement District I iardey Engineering & Associates. Inc. 2
Unfortunately, due in part to the nature of the topography and existing developments along East Main Street, the
construction of sidewalks triggers several additional elements of street construction, adding significant costs to
the project. The following improvements would also be required to construct a continuous sidewalk:
1. A storm sewer system would be required to eliminate the existing large drainage ditch on the south side of the
street.
2. Curb and gutter would also be required to control and channel storm run-off into the storm sewer system,
through a series of curb inlets and manholes.
3. Additional street width would be required so that the curb and storm sewer would be in the proper position to
accommodate the future street construction.
4. A minor amount of right of way would be required to accommodate the extra width.
To limit the amount of street width required, the sidewalk could be placed behind and adjacent to the curb,
temporarily eliminating the proposed 7 foot wide parkrow. Since this would be a temporary sidewalk it could be
constructed of asphalt rather than concrete to further reduce the cost.
When the full street improvements are installed in the future, the asphalt sidewalk would be removed and the
parkrow installed in its location. The final 6 foot wide concrete sidewalk would be installed at the edge of the
parkrow, 7 feet from the curb.
Power Lines
Currently there are overhead power lines located on both sides of the street. The lines located on the south side
of the street belong to the City of Ashland while the lines on the north side are owned by Pacific Power. Both lines
are main 600 amp feeders and both power lines would need to be relocated to accommodate the proposed
improvements. In keeping with the City of Ashland requirements, these two power lines should be reconstructed
underground. To bury high voltage power lines of this type requires some oversized and very specialized
equipment. To accommodate this equipment, additional utility easements along the entire length of the
construction area will be needed.
It is recommended that both power lines be undergrounded for the full length of the study area, from Tolman
Creek Road to Walker Avenue. This recommendation is reflected in the attached estimates.
Water and Sewer Lines
As the Normal area develops, it will be necessary to install water and sewer lines in East Main Street to provide
services for the 500 anticipated units within the neighborhood area. It will be necessary to install approximately
2600 feet of 8 inch sewer line and approximately 3400 feet of 16 inch water line, however, only 1000 feet of water
and sewer lines are included in this estimate. This length of sewer and water would be installed within the
improved section of street to eliminate the need to cut the surface of the newly constructed street in the future.
The remaining lengths of sewer and water lines will be installed in the future with the full improvement of East
Main Street.

Storm Sewer
Under option no. 2, the entire south side storm system will be constructed including curb inlets, manholes and
future pipe connections. With option no. 1, only approximately 700 feet of storm sewer would be required.
Rail Crossing
The Normal Avenue rail crossing improvement costs were estimated by RH2 Engineers, earlier in the process.
Normal Avenue is proposed to be realigned with a new at grade signalized railroad crossing. The new realigned
section of road would be approximately 720 feet long and consist of two travel lanes, two bicycle lanes, and six
foot (6') wide sidewalks on both sides. The improvements will require acquisition of right of way which is included
in the construction cost estimate.
COST ALLOCATION
The City will participate in the cost of improvements to the following extent:
1. 50% SDC Participation for:
a. Street Construction,
b. Sanitary Sewer Construction, and
c. Storm Sewer Construction
2.0% Participation for:
a. Right of Way Acquisition
b. Power Relocation
c. Waterline Construction
Also included in the construction cost estimates are Engineering, and Contingencies estimated at 62% of the
construction cost.
As discussed earlier, the construction cost estimates are based on spring, 2015 costs. Adjustments to future cost
estimates should be inflated based on the applicable Construction Cost Index rates for this area. These usually
range between 2-3% per year.
CONCLUSION (Summary of Findings):
The estimated construction cost estimates for each option and the apportionment of costs of same are noted
below.
Option 1- Improvements/upgrades to a 500 foot section of East Main Street, and the Normal Avenue Railroad
Crossing

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The attached construction cost estimate and supporting documentation are based upon the
improvement/reconstruction of a 500 foot long section of East Main Street centered at the proposed intersection
of Normal Avenue. Two options are provided based upon the length of sidewalk to be constructed. Option No. 1
is limited to the 500 feet of sidewalk included within the street improvement section. Option No. 2 adds an
additional 3500 feet of sidewalk which would provide a continuous walk from Tolman Creek Road to Walker
Avenue, While much of the work for the two options is the same, such as easement and right-of-way acquisition,
power line costs, and utility costs, the second option adds $1,543,919 worth of sidewalk, curbs, storm drains and
extra street width to the project.
HEA, Inc. makes no recommendation regarding the choice of the two options. There are some benefits in bicycle
and pedestrian safety and convenience with option no. 2; however these same benefits will be realized when the
street is ultimately built out. The question as to whether this extra sidewalk length should be added upfront and
included in the financing district is best answered by city officials.

Council Communication
September 1, 2015, Business Meeting
8th Quarterly Financial Report of the 2013-15 Biennium
FROM:
Lee Tuneberg, Administrative Services/Finance Director, tuneberl@ashland.or.us
SUMMARY:
The Administrative Services Department submits financial reports to Council on a quarterly basis to
provide assurance of budget compliance and for informational and comparative purposes throughout
the year.
This report is for the "eighth or final quarter" covering April through June 2015 of the two-year budget
with comparisons to budget, between years and to other periods. Even though we have tried to
simplify our comparisons they can be complex, thus confusing, and we apologize for this in advance.
These is preliminary final information for the 2013-15 biennium and the June 30, 2015, financial
report. Some information is likely to change as the annual audit is currently in process.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Financial reports are intended to present information in formats consistent with the department, fund
and business activity presentations included in the adopted biennium budget document and the manner
in which they will be shown in the end of year report.
Quarterly reports are prepared by staff to keep Mayor and Council current on the financial conditions
of the city. Presenting financial reports on a regular basis allows Council and top management to ask
questions and for staff to highlight trends and anomalies and to make recommendations on necessary
changes in a timely fashion.
Unaudited, detailed balance sheets, revenues and expenditure reports are available for your review in
the Administrative Service Department office should you require any additional information.
COUNCIL GOALS SUPPORTED:
ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNANCE GOAL
Provide high quality and effective delivery of the full spectrum of city service and governance in a
transparent, accessible and fiscally responsible manner.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
This report highlights operations for the last quarter of the biennium and the entire budget.
Additional information can be made available if so desired by Council.

Management Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2015 Financial Report
This is the last quarter of the biennium budget period. This report references budget
comparisons to the 2013-15 biennium, and in some cases comparisons of the current fiscal year
(FY 2014-15) to the prior fiscal year (FY 2013-14). This is preliminary information for the end
of the 2013-15 biennium. The final numbers for the year will be presented to Council in
December, after the Audit Commission has accepted the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR).
A. Note the charts and table on page one reflect a city-wide reduction of cash between years
of $239,450. The largest change is in the Water Fund. The $897,000 reduction
represents capital expenditures (primarily the Talent Ashland Phoenix project). The
increase in the Street Fund represents reimbursements of expenses received on capital
projects completed in a prior period. The Wastewater Fund cash balance grew due to an
increase in rates and rate revenue in anticipation of future capital needs. At this point,
seventy-one percent of total cash is restricted in use.
B. Revenues city-wide are 97.5% of budget.
C. There are no budget violations at this time.
Notable revenue points:
Food & Beverage tax revenue for the biennium is $5.1 million. This is 13% over the $4.5
million amount budgeted for the 2013-15 biennium and includes a 10% increase in fiscal
year 2014-15 over the prior fiscal year. This indicates more activity and (possibly)
higher prices charged by operators between periods.
Transient Occupancy (Lodging) Tax revenue for the total biennium is $4.6 million. This
is 8% above the $4.2 million budgeted for the 2013-15 biennium and is 17.6% over last
year. This indicates more activity, more rooms to rent and (possibly) higher prices
charged by operators between periods.
Development fees and charges (system development charges, planning and building
revenue) for the total biennium is $1.9 million. More activity relating to construction
such as the Southern Oregon University science building, Oregon Shakespeare rehearsal
center, and two new commercial buildings contribute to the increase.
In total, Charges for Services (sales) improved when compared to the last quarter of the
prior year. Sales for the prior quarter were up 2.6% above the same point in 2013 and
this final quarter is up 3.5%, year to year. Wastewater fees increased 11.6% after a 10%
rate adjustment. Electric increased 1.0% between years after a 3.6% adjustment in rates
and Water sales increased 4.0% between years despite a 10% rate increase in July 2014.
The lesser increase in dollar sales than the rate increases relates to decreases in
Page 1 of 2
volumetric sales. Quantity of electricity and water sold are down 5% and 7 /0,
respectively, between 2014 and 2015.
Parks & Recreation Charges for Services of $8,856,000 to the City General Fund is 100%
for the biennium and total revenues ended the period at 99.1 % of budget.
Notable expense points:
City-wide operating expenditures are 95.7% of the biennium budget with personnel costs
ending the period at 98.9%. This is a sign of nearly full staffing.
Capital expenditures are $14.5 million, about 48% of the budget, indicating certain
projects were not able to be started or completed during the biennium.
The biennium ended with $3.1 million in unused Contingency. This reflects $1.4 million
of Contingency used to address unanticipated costs and, in some cases, to ensure
adequate appropriations to avoid budget violations in departments or programs that were
too close to 100%. Examples are higher than anticipated claims costs in the Health
Benefits Fund, construction of the Talent Ashland Phoenix emergency intertie project,
and a transfer from the Insurance Fund to the Health Benefits Fund for good measure.
Internal transfers and internal loans were done as needed or required. An example is
budgeted but unneeded transfers for estimated debt service on potential capital project
borrowing that was not done. Total repayment of the loan from the Reserve Fund to the
Health Benefits fund was not made this biennium with $260,000 delayed and re-budgeted
in BN 2015-17.
Debt service payments were made as required.
The attached reports include:
1. Summary of Cash & Investments (year to year comparison) - page 1.
