PLANNING ACTION: PA-2015-02370
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 92 Church Street
OWNER/APPLICANT: Alan Parowski & Leslie Gore
DESCRIPTION: A request for Site Design Review and a Conditional Use Permit to operate a two-unit
Traveler's Accommodation consisting of one guest unit and an owner's unit for the property located at
92 Church Street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi-Family Residential;
ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09BB; TAX LOT: 5300.
SUBMITTAL DATE: December 18, 2015
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: January 7, 2016
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: February 17, 2016
FINAL DECISION DATE: February 29, 2016
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: August 29, 2017
i
DECISION
The subject property is located at 92 Church Street, Assessor's Map 391E 09BB, tax lot 5300. The tax
lot is within the Skidmore Academy Historic District and is zoned R-2, Low-Density Multi-Family
Residential. The property is rectangular in shaped and has access on the southwest to High street and street
frontage on the South side of Church Street. The surrounding properties are within the R-2 and R-1-7.5
zoning district. According to Jackson County records, the property is approximately 8,712 square feet in
area.
There is one structure on the property, a 2,626 square foot residence. The residence was constructed circa
1880, according to the National Register of Historic Places. The residence has had minor exterior remodels,
and is listed as a "Historic Contributing" structure on the National Register of Historic Places. The
application proposes to operate a single Travelers' Accommodation in the residence. As proposed, there
are no physical changes to the structures or the layout of the property.
The Municipal Code contains specific requirements for the conversion of residential uses to Travelers'
Accommodations. Such requirements include that the business owner shall live on-site during the rental;
that the structure be at least 20 years old; that the structure be within 200 feet of an arterial or collector
street; and that the Travelers' Accommodation have an average area of 400 square feet available per
guest unit. The applicants have submitted materials to the Planning Department that demonstrate
compliance with these approval standards and with the criteria within the Conditional Use section of the
Ashland Municipal Code. They note that the applicants will remain the owners/managers of the property
and it will serve as their primary residence. Apparent through the application submittal, the applicants
are aware of the requirement to obtain a business license subsequent to Conditional Use Permit
approval. A condition of approval will be added to ensure this criterion is met. Furthermore, the
application emphasizes the subject property is correctly zoned and is located on Church Street, an
Avenue. Also stated in the application submittal, the primary residence on the property was built circa
1880 and that the 8,712 square foot lot area can accommodate the requested single unit Travelers'
Accommodation. The proposed Travelers' Accommodation unit will exceed the minimum 400 square
foot size requirement.
PA-2015-02370

Page 1
The applicant's proposal to operate a single Travelers' Accommodation requires three parking spaces.
Two vehicle parking spaces are required for the primary dwelling and one parking space is required for
the Traveler's Accommodation. As identified on the applicant's site plan, the property has adequate
space for three off-street parking spaces. To meet the requirement for three parking spaces, the applicant
shows two vehicle parking spaces provided in the existing garage and one provided in the existing
parking area off of Church Street.
The applicant's emphasize they anticipate no significant change in water, sewer or electrical usage.
Additionally, the applicable City departments have not expressed any concern with the applicant's
proposal. The site is within walking distance of downtown and, due to the proximity of East Main Street,
using public transportation is a viable option. Therefore, the applicant's anticipate their guests to
generate few vehicle trips. Since there are no exterior changes proposed in the application, it is clear that
the proposal will not have a negative effect on the impact area vis-a-vis architectural compatibility, air
quality, generation of noise, light and glare, and the development of adjacent properties.
Lastly, the application complies with all of the applicable provisions of the R-2 zoning district. The
property is located within the Historic District, but the application involves no exterior changes and will
therefore not impact the historic design or integrity of the impact area. The proposal does not involve
any changes to the building placement, orientation or design. No trees are proposed to be removed. It is
the opinion of Staff that the property has adequate landscaping to meet all standards in AMC 18.4.4. As
previously stated, the introduction of a Travelers' Accommodation at the subject property will have
minimal impact on public facilities. A condition has been added below speaking to the requirements of
signs in a residential neighborhood.
The approval criteria for a Travelers' Accommodation are detailed in AMC 18.2.3.220 as follows:
Where travelers' accommodations and accessory travelers' accommodations are allowed, they require a
Conditional Permit under chapter 18.5.4, are subject to Site Design Review under chapter 18.5.2, and shall meet
the following requirements. See definitions of travelers' accommodation and accessory travelers'
accommodation in part 18-6.
A. Travelers' Accommodations and Accessory Travelers' Accommodations. Travelers' accommodations and
accessory travelers' accommodations shall meet all of the following requirements.
1. An accommodation must meet all applicable building, fire, and related safety codes at all times and
must be inspected by the Fire Department before occupancy following approval of a Conditional Use
Permit and periodically thereafter pursuant to AMC 15.28.
2. The business-owner of a travelers' accommodation or the property owner of an accessory travelers'
accommodation must maintain a City business license and pay all transient occupancy tax in
accordance with AMC 4.24 and AMC 6.04 as required.
3. Advertising for an accommodation must include the City planning action number assigned to the land
use approval.
4. Offering the availability of residential property for use as an accommodation without a valid
Conditional Use Permit approval, current business license and transient occupancy tax registration is
prohibited and shall be subject to enforcement procedures.

travelers' accommodations shall meet all of the following requirements.
1. The property is located within 200 feet of a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood collector as identified
on the Street Dedication Map in the Comprehensive Plan. Distances to the property from a boulevard,
avenue, or neighborhood collector shall be measured via a public street or public alley to a lot line.
PA-2015-02370

2. During operation of a travelers' accommodation, the property on which the travelers' accommodation
is sited must be the primary residence of the business-owner. "Business-owner" shall be defined as a
person or persons who own the property and accommodation outright; or who have entered into a
lease agreement with the property owner(s) allowing for the operation of the accommodation. Such
lease agreement must specifically state that the property owner is not involved in the day-to-day
operation or financial management of the accommodation and that the business-owner has actual
ownership of the business and is wholly responsible for all operations associated with the
accommodation, and has actual ownership of the business.
3. The primary residence on the site must be at least 20 years old. The primary residence may be altered
and adapted for travelers' accommodation use, including expansion of floor area. Additional
structures may be allowed to accommodate additional units, but must be in conformance with all
setback and lot coverage standards of the underlying zone.
4. The number of travelers' accommodation units allowed shall be determined by the following criteria.
a. The total number of units, including the business-owner's unit, shall be determined by dividing the
total square footage of the lot by 1,800 square feet. Contiguous lots under the same ownership j
may be combined to increase lot area and the number of units, but not in excess of the maximum
established by this ordinance. The maximum number of accommodation units shall not exceed
nine per approved traveler's accommodation with primary lot frontage on boulevard streets. For
travelers' accommodation without primary lot frontage on a designated boulevard, but within
200 feet of a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood collector street, the maximum number of units
shall be seven. Street designations shall be as determined by the Street Dedication Map in the
Comprehensive Plan. Distances to the property from a boulevard, avenue, or neighborhood
collector shall be measured via a public street or public alley to a lot line.
b. Excluding the business-owner's unit and the area of the structure it will occupy, there must be at
least 400 square feet of gross interior floor space remaining per unit.
5. Each accommodation must have one off-street parking space and the business-owner's unit must
have two parking spaces. All parking spaces shall be in conformance with chapter 18.4.3.
6. Only one ground or wall sign, constructed of a non-plastic material, non-interior illuminated, and a
maximum of six square feet total surface area is allowed. Any exterior illumination of signage shall be
installed such that it does not directly illuminate any residential structures adjacent or nearby the
travelers' accommodation in accordance with subsection 18.4.4.050.C.1.
Z An annual inspection by the Jackson County Health Department shall be conducted as required by the
laws of Jackson County or the State of Oregon.
8. Transfer of business-ownership of a travelers' accommodation shall be subject to all requirements of
this section and conform with the criteria of this section. Any further modifications beyond the
existing approval shall be in conformance with all requirements of this section.
The approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are detailed in AMC 18.5.4.050.A as follows:
A Conditional Use Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the application meets all of the
following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions.
1. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which the use is
proposed to be located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not
implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program.
2. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm drainage, paved access
- to and throughout the development, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject
property.
3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the impact area
when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use of the zone, pursuant with
subsection 18.5.4.050.A.5, below. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the
PA-2015-02370
92 Church Street - MMS
Page 3
following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the
zone.
a. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
b. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass
transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities.
c. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
d. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
e. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
f. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
g. Other factors found to be relevant by the approval authority for review of the proposed use.
4. A conditional use permit shall not allow a use that is prohibited or one that is not permitted pursuant to
this ordinance.
5. For the purposes of reviewing conditional use permit applications for conformity with the approval criteria
of this subsection, the target uses of each zone are as follows [a, b, d -1, not included as not applicable].
c. R-2 and R-3. Residential use complying with all ordinance requirements, developed at the density
permitted by chapter 18.2.5 Standards for Residential Zones.
The approval criteria for Site Design Review are detailed in AMC 18.5.2.050 as follows:

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, but granting the exception will
result in a design that equally or better achieves the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design
Standards.

NELSON, JOHN A. HOUSE 1910
91 CHURCH ST 391E09BB 5200
20"' C. American: Craftsman Historic Contributing
In early 1910 the Tidings noted the following:
Having sold his cottage and lot on High Street, Mr. John A. Nelson has bought the old Granite
Hall lot on Church and High and will build a nice residence on it. (Ashland Tidings, 13-Jan-1910)
Nelson, who operated a confectionary on North Main had lived what is now 116 High Street, before
purchasing this corner lot and it is interesting to note the similarity of that earlier dwelling, identified as
the "Neslon-Smith House (ID #472.0), above. Granite Hall, a large public assembly building, had been
constructed in the late 19`h century and is a prominent visual landmark in early views of Ashland,
located opposite the Baptist Church. Nelson lived in this cottage until 1917 when he sold it to W. H.
Hodkinson. (JCD 113:136) Hodkinson remained here at least through 1920. By 1949 the property
was owned by James F. and LaVerne Ebnother. (JCD 256:424)
The Neslon House is a one and one-half story hipped roof volume with hipped dormers that augment
the upper story. A full front porch dominates the primary fagade. The Nelson House retains original
siding, glazing, trim, and other elements, and retains very high integrity to it appearance during the
period of significance.

GILLETTE-MCCONNELL HOUSE 1880
92 CHURCH ST 391E09BB 5300
Builder: Gillette A. V.
Other: Vernacular [Classical Revival Elements] Historic Contributing
A.V. Gillette and his wife, Martha Hill Gillette, purchased this lot from John Helman in 1865 although
the deed was not filed for more than twenty years, until 1887. Gillette, a carpenter, probably built the
original portion of this structure around 1880 for his family's own use. A pioneer resident of southern
Oregon, Gillette arrived in the Ashland area in 1854 and married Martha Hill, daughter of Isaac and
Elizabeth Hill, in March 1855. Gillette operated a cabinet shop in Ashland for many years, as well as
serving as the city's recorder. Gillette died in 1884 and Martha continued to live here after his death.
In 1901 she remodeled the home at a cost of $400, as reported in the Tidings. (Ashland Tidings, 7-Jan-
1901) Sometime after 1887 the Gillette's daughter and son-in-law, George and Caroline McConnell,
joined Martha in living here and the McConnells are probably responsible for the first of the wings that
augmented the main volume, creating a L-shaped plan. Caroline Gillette died at home in 1934 and the
house left family ownership. 14
14 The Gillette Family owned several other dwellings in the area of High Street and Church, notably the A.
V. and Martha's sons, George and Charles, who lived at 123 and 79 High Street, respectively. Ann
Russell, Martha Hill's sister, also lived nearby, at 117 Main Street.

The Gillette-McConnell House is a large two-story vernacular volume with modest Classical Revival
detailing, notably the eave returns on the front-facing volume, probably built as an "I" form facing Main
Street. Augmented first by a ell extension to the north and a two-story porch, in more recent years the
house was again enlarged to the rear with an offset two-story volume that substantially enlarged the
dwelling. Although considerably larger, the addition is entirely subservient to the historic portions of
the house, offset to differentiate itself, and does not seriously detract from the otherwise high integrity
in materials, setting, and feeling of the house. The Gillette-McConnell House, with strong association
to two of.southern Oregon's earliest settlers, retains sufficient integrity to relate its period of
construction.

Builder: [Bela C]Hubbard & Son
Other: Vernacular [Hipped-Roof Cottage] Historic Contributing
In May 1908 the Tidings reported that "R. P. Edgington is building a bungalow on Church Street on a
lot recently purchased from Mrs. M. L. Gillette. Hubbard and Son are the contractors." (Ashland
Tidings, 21-May-1908, 1:6) The 1910 directory lists Robert P., Moore C. and Floyd B. Edgington all
living at this address. Edgington had sold the property in late 1909 and soon it was purchased by Mrs.
Bertha Hahn. "Mrs. Hahn, of the Ashland House, has recently purchased of A. W. Cook the Edgington
bungalow on Church Street, a cozy home which she is already occupying." (Ashland Tidings, 23-Dec-
1909, 5:1) The Hahns retained ownership until February 1921. (JCD 101:23) Later owners include
Samuel and Marguerite Miller, who purchased the property in 1938. (JCD 219:309-10)
The Edgington House is a small single-story hipped-roof volume with a prominent hipped dormer center
over the centrally entrant porch. Non-original windows on the front elevation, both narrow verticals and
a larger horizontal picture window, somewhat distract from the original character but overall the
dwelling retains sufficient integrity to relate its period of construction.

Other: Vernacular [Queen Anne Elements] Historic Contributing
John Coleman purchased this lot from G. W. Gillette in 1899 and soon thereafter the local newspaper
noted that "John Coleman will immediately build on his Church Street lot. He plans a substantial
residence and foundations are already underway." (Ashland Tidings, 22-Jun-1899, 3:1) Coleman,
operated a canning plant in Ashland with his brother. He sold this house in 1904. In 1906 Lloyd and
Gertrude Mulit purchased the property, which they retained as their residence until 1924.
The Coleman-Mulit House is a large two-story vernacular ell with a projecting front gable, accented by a
full-height projecting bay. Modest Queen-Anne detailing is evident in the complex form, eave bracketry
and the "pent" roof of the gable end. The house has been somewhat modified, most notably via the

Conditional Use Permit (General)
18.104.050
A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning
district in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance
with relevant Comprehensive plan policies that are not implemented by
City, State, or Federal law or program.
Zone: R-2 (Low Density Multi-Family Residential). The main house on this
site is a large family home. The proposed traveler's accommodations do not
impact the home's fagade at all. The only change that running a traveler's
accommodation would mean is that the renters would be short-term rather than
long-term. The location of the site, less than a block from downtown, within
walking distance of restaurants and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival theaters,
makes it a natural for the use we are proposing.
Landscaping Requirements: In this zone 35% of the site must be retained
in landscaping. The landscaping on the subject site is existing, and mature
with existing street trees. Approximately 70% of the site is dedicated to
92 % Church Street

Ore-Unit Traveler's Accommodation
December 2015
landscaping and outdoor use. No decrease of the percent of landscaped area is
intended.
The Existing Landscaping. Some of the income generated by the rental united
will be dedicated to yard maintenance however the deer do so much damage no
major investment is expected. Please see the attached Site Plan and Tree.
Trees: The existing Trees, which are shown on the Site Plan, are all to remain.
Parking, Access in Internal Circulation: There is a two cargarage and an
additional existing on site drive which is two cars in width. There is no internal
automobile circulation on this site
Setbacks: There are no changes to the existing setbacks.
Height: No exiting structure is over 35 feet in height.
Lot Coverage: The lot coverage is less than 30% developed. This area will
remain unchanged.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to
and through the development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and
adequate transportation can and will be provided to and through the
subject property. The apartment has housed two and three tenants over the
years. The size of the space has not changed. Thus the need for utilities due to
the proposed CUP is not increased.
C. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the
livability of the impact area when compared to the development of the
subject lot with the target se of the zone. The following factors of livability
of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the
zone.
1. "Similarity in scale, bulk and coverage." The proposed CUP does not
change the current scale or coverage of the lot.
2. "Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in
pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial
regardless of capacity of facilities." The marketing of the unit will emphasize
a "no car" experience. With an easy block walk to downtown, it will be far easier
to walk to shops, shows and restaurants than to park down town.
3. "Architectural compatibility with the impact area." The proposed CUP
does not change any of the architectural features of the existing historical
building.
4. "Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other
environmental pollutants. As stated above, the travelers accommodation will
emphasize a "no car" experience. There will be no additional impact, and
possibly reduced impact because of reduced occupancy, than the current long-
term rental.

5. "Generation of noise, light and glare." There will be no additional impact,
and possibly reduced impact because of reduced occupancy, than the current
long-term rental.
6. "The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the
Comprehensive Plan". The development of adjacent properties should not be
impacted at all.
7. "Other factors found to be relevant by the Hearing Authority of review of
the proposed use." The unit at 92 % Church St meets all the requirements and
will support Ashland's image as a friendly, charming tourist destination without
putting additional strain on infrastructure or inconvenience the neighborhood.
The applicant and owner proposing this project have endeavored to address the pertinent criteria
in the Ashland Municipal Code. Based on the findings written herein, we respectfully request
approval of a Conditional Use Permit to run a one-unit Traveler's Accommodation on the first floor
of 92 Church Street.
