FINDINGS & ORDERS
PLANNING ACTION: PA-2016-02360
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 259 B Street
OWNER/APPLICANT: Laurance Cooper; Lisa Scian-Cooper; Shoshana Cooper
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Design Review approval to operate a
two-unit Travelers' Accommodation (TA) consisting of one owner's unit and one guest unit for the
property located at 259 B Street. The subject property was previously approved as a Travelers'
Accommodation in 1999 (PA-99-018). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density
Multiple-Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR'S MAP: 39 lE 09 BA; TAX LOT: 5200.
SUBMITTAL DATE: December 20, 2016
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: January 11, 2017 j'
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: February 3, 2017
FINAL DECISION DATE: February 16, 2017
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: August 16, 2017
DECISION
The subject property is located at 259 B Street, Assessor's Map 39 lE 09 BA, tax lot 5200. The tax lot is
within the Railroad Addition Historic District and is zoned R-2, Low-Density Multi-Family Residential.
The property is rectangular in shape and has pedestrian access on the south side to B Street and vehicle
access to First or Second Street from the rear alley located to the north. The surrounding properties are
within the R-2 zoning district. According to Jackson County records, the property is approximately 5,562
square feet in area.
There are several structures on the subject property including a 1,198 square foot single-family residence, a
400 square foot guest house, and a 240 square foot garage. The residence was constructed circa 1898,
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 guest house. As proposed, there are no
physical changes to the structures or the layout of the property as part of this application.
In March 1999, the Ashland Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit request for a one-
unit Travelers' Accommodation (PA-99-018). The original applicant operated a one-unit Travelers'
Accommodation on the subject site continuously since the original approval in 1999. During this period
the Planning Department received no complaints regarding the operation of the business.
In January 2005, the Ashland Planning Department administratively approved a Conditional Use Permit
to transfer the ownership of the existing one-unit Travelers' Accommodation to Lawrence, Lisa and
Shoshana Copper. No modifications to the building or site were proposed at the time.-The business was
in compliance with past conditions of approval and the transfer of ownership had no discernable impact
upon the vicinity with the continued operation of the one-unit Travelers' Accommodation.
Subsequently, the property owners have used the guest house for various purposes and the Conditional
Use Permit for the Travelers' Accommodation has been deemed void because of discontinued use for a
period of six consecutive months (AMC 18.5.4.060).

I.
The Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) 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 R-2 and is located on B Street, an
Avenue. Also stated in the application submittal, the primary residence on the property was built circa
1898 and that the 5,562 square foot lot area can accommodate the requested single unit Travelers'
Accommodation. The proposed Travelers' Accommodation unit will meet the minimum 400 square foot
size requirement.
The applicant's proposal to operate a single Travelers' Accommodation requires three parking spaces.
Two vehicle parking spaces are required for the primary dwelling unit and one parking space is required
for the Traveler's Accommodation unit. As identified on the applicant's site plan, the property has
adequate space for three vehicle parking spaces. To meet the requirement for three vehicle parking
spaces, the applicant shows one parking space provided in the existing garage off of the rear alley, one
space provided in the existing parking area off of the rear alley, and one space requested as an on-street
vehicle parking credit applied to the subject properties frontage along B Street based on the 50 foot of
uninterrupted curb line. The applicant is required to provide three bicycle parking spaces, two spaces for
the owners unit and one space for the traveler's accommodation unit. The property owner will install
bike parking prior to issuance of a business license and a condition of approval has been added to that
end.
Based on previous approvals, there are adequate public water, sewer, storm drain, and electric facilities
are in place for the guest house. The applicant's state that the guest house is connected to city water,
sewer, and electric services. There is no anticipated significant change in water, sewer or electrical
usage. Additionally, the applicable city departments have not expressed any concern with the applicant's
proposal. Bus service is available on Lithia Way and East Main Street, approximately %4 of a mile from
the subject property. 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 Railroad Addition 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.
Neighbors Jim and Jacquie Little have provided written comments in opposition to the request.
Comments were related to the existing traffic and parking conditions in the neighborhood. They note
PA-2016-02360
259 B Street - MMS
Page 2
that the customers of neighborhood businesses use the rear alley at 259 B Street to access First Street or
Second Street. In addition, the comments note that on-street vehicle parking along B Street is already
overcrowded and becomes worse during the peak summer tourist season. Staff understands neighbors'
concerns regarding the existing parking situation; however, the base density, or target use, of the
property is one multi-family residential unit. Three Travelers' Accommodation units would be permitted
on a lot of this size and given the proximity to downtown and the theaters, it is likely that guests of the
Travelers' Accommodation will walk or bike to most of their destinations. In Staff's opinion, the
proposed Travelers' Accommodation will have no greater adverse effect on the livability of the
neighborhood than the existing single-family dwelling and guest house.
c
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

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

i
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

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
following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the

below, are found to exist.
1. There is a demonstrable difficulty 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, but granting the exception will
result in a design that equally or better achieves the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design
Standards.

Proposal for Traveler's Accommodation at 259 B Street
391 E09BA5200
Responses to 18.5.4.050 and 18.2.3.220 Traveler's Accommodations Approval Criteria
Laurence/Lisa Cooper, owners/applicant
December 9, 2016
The property on which the proposed Traveler's Accommodation (referred to as "studio") at
259 1/2 B Street sits is owned by Laurence and Lisa Cooper who live in the primary residence
at 259 B Street. Laurence and Lisa will operate the Traveler's Accommodation. The proposed
Traveler's Accommodation is situated in the historic district on B Street between 1st and 2nd
Streets.
The primary residence and the proposed Traveler's Accommodation are historic buildings and
no alterations or expansion is planned for either building other than the already permitted and
completed room addition to the primary residence.
Located in a multi-family zone, the proposed Traveler's Accommodation is a one room studio
with bathroom located on the alley at the back of the .13 acre R-2 lot. Over the last 20 years, the
studio has been used as a childcare center, traveler's accommodation, music studio, and
currently has been an overnight guest space for friends and family of the owners. The
configuration of the studio is unchanged from when it was previously a permitted Traveler's
Accommodation. The R-2 zoning allows changing the use to a Traveler's Accommodation as a
conditional use. There was a conditional use permit for such use as recently as 2005.
The studio is connected to city water/sewer and electric service with its own utility accounts.
There gas service is disconnected and will not be used. There is an entrance to the studio that
is accessible from the alley. Covered bicycle parking will by added between the existing garage
and the studio.
The studio is intended to accommodate only 1 or 2 guests as there is only one bed and the
space is small. The 3 required parking spaces for the property will consist of the existing space
to the east of the garage, one space inside the garage, and one on street parking space credit
as was approved in the previous conditional use permit. The requested change in use is exactly
the same as was approved previously, so there will be no increase in traffic. The requested use
as a single unit Traveler's Accommodation is consistent with current uses in the alley which
include a multi unit traveler's accommodation 60 feet to the west. There should not be any
increase in dust, odors, noise or light as a result of the Traveler's Accommodation use since this
was a previous use and will actually generate fewer auto trips than the music studio or child
care uses in earlier years.
A Fire Department inspection will be requested once the Traveler's Accommodation use is
approved. The studio currently has the required smoke detector and fire extinguisher.
Emergency evacuation is via either one of the 2 ground level exit doors. Heating and cooling is
provided by a built in electric heat pump unit and there is no source of carbon monoxide. An
emergency escape plan will be posted next to the east door. All other requirements for operating
a Traveler's Accommodation will be completed including annual inspection by the Jackson
County Health Department and obtaining a city business license.
The landscape plan consists of established trees and shrubs including ferns, plum, lilies, and
lavender with flagstone walking paths. Exterior lights provide illumination for walking on the 2
sides of the studio that are adjacent to paths. No signs will be installed. There is an existing
address sign located on the alley side of the studio which will direct people to the building.
