DECISION
Subject Property
The subject property is located on the east side of North Main between Bush and Laurel Street. The
surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single-family homes, multi-family developments, churches,
parks and commercial properties, The subject property is zoned Low-Density, Multi-Family Residential
(R-2). The zoning to the north and to the cast of the subject property is R-3, High-Density, Multi-Family
Residential. To the west, the zoning is R-2. To the south, the zoning is Commercial (C-l and C-1-D).
The subject property is 7,405 square-feet. The lot has fiontage on North Main and partial frontage on
Central Avenue to the rear. The site is occupied by an. 1,849 square-foot historic structure built in the
1890's and converted to a duplex in the 1970's. The parking area is accessed frorn Central Avenue.
Unit #2 (the larger unit) in the duplex is proposed as a Traveler's Acconunodation. The unit is 1,050
square-feet. The business owner resides in Unit #1 (800 square-feet). A Conditional Use Permit is
requested to operate the Traveler's Accommodation on-site. No changes to the site are proposed and thus,
the bulk of Site Design Review standards do not apply here.
Conditional Use Permit
The application is required to meet the special use standards for a Travelers' Accommodation in AMC
18.2.3.220 and the approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit in AMC 18.5.4.050.
A Travelers' Accommodation is an allowed use in the R-2 zone if it meets the Special Use Standards.
That criteria requires that the property is located within 200 feet of a boulevard, avenue or neighborhood
collector. This is met; the property is on North Main. The property on which the Travelers'
Accommodation is sited is the primary residence of the business owner. The primary residence must be
at least 20 years old. As indicated by Jackson County survey, the home was built in the 1890's, The
allowed number of units is determined by dividing the total square footage of the lot by 1,800 square-feet.
PA-T1-2019-00062
160 N Main/fk
Page 1
This property would allow a total of 4 units. The applicant has proposed only a total of two units (one
guest unit and the business owner's unit). Each unit must have 400 square-feet of gross interior floor space
- the guest unit is 1,050 square-feet.
The applicant's proposal to operate two guest-unit Travelers' Accommodations requires a total of three
parking spaces. One for the guest-unit and two for the primary dwelling unit are required. To meet the
requirement for the Travelers' Accommodations parking spaces, the applicant shows three parking spaces
provided off of the driveway from the rear. The applicant is required to provide two bicycle parking
spaces. Those spaces have been identified on the porch and to the rear of the residence.
The applicant has indicated that they meet the criteria for a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed use is
in conformance with the zoning district.
The targeted use of an equivalent property in the R-2 zone would be the equivalent of 2 dwelling units.
The proposed use is unlikely to generate more traffic than two full-time residences. The proposed
Traveler's Accommodations are similar in number of vehicle trips. The site's location near downtown,
bus route, shopping and retail on East Main allows for pedestrian and bicycling to nearby amenities. The
Traveler's Accommodation will not affect the development of adjacent properties.
Staff did receive a comment regarding a code compliance issue in the year prior. The compliance issue
was resolved and the property owner complied with regulations once notified. The comment also
expressed concern that the property owner does not reside on the property. A standard condition for
Traveler's Acconunodations is the condition that the property be the primary residence of the business-
owner and complies with the Special Use Standards AMC 18.2.3.220.B.2. That condition is included on
this application and will be verified prior to the issuance of a business license.
The application including the following conditions complies with all of the applicable provisions of the
R-2 zoning district, the Special Use Standards AMC 18.2.3.220 and the Conditional Use Permit approval
criteria AMC 18.5.4.050. The property is currently served by adequate City facilities for water, sewer,
storm drainage and electricity. In staff s assessment, the proposal will not have a greater adverse material
impact on the impact area in terms of architectural compatibility, air quality, and generation of traffic,
noise, light and glare and the development of adjacent properties than the prior use of the property, or the
target use allowable within the zone.
The applicants have submitted materials to the Planning Department that demonstrate compliance with
these approval standards.
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

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.
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

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 fine,
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.
7. 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.

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 zone.

Re: Submission of Written Comments for possible objection to Planning action
PA-T1-2019-00062
We are the next-door neighbors to the south of 160 N. Fain St. Our primary residence is at
156 N. Main St.
We were successfully awarded a CUP around 5.2014 to run our onsite Traveler's
Accommodation. This has been our, primary residence since 1991.
We have been friends and neighbors with Sandy Schell, the former owner of 160 N. Main St.
for about 20 years. A few years ago, Sandy Schell and Sue Jones got married/became
domestic partners. Sandy moved into Sue's home in the Griffin Creep area and we rarely
saw her. Sometime in 2018, they split. Sue Jones apparently has acquired the property in
the divorce/separation settlement.
In early 2018, we saw Sue doing work on the property, remodeling, landscaping and
moving in furniture to both units. In November and December- 2018, there were a lot of
tenants coming and going with shorter stays than by the month,
In May 2018,1 was cruising on Airbnb and saw that Sue had begun to rent both sides of the
property by the night through Airbnb. Daniel Perry of Airhop was noted as the Owner oil
the Airbnb listing.
At this time, I knew that the property was vacant. There we no one living there.
I contacted Andrew Barrow, Code Enforcement Officer, about the possible illegal nightly
rental per 18.2.3.2208 in that there was no Owner claiming the residence as their Primary
Residence and there was not a `Business-Owner' living on the property.
Andrew kept in contact with Lis and after his initial research let us know that he sent out a
`Cease and Desist' order to Ms. Jones's address in Griffin Creek, Medford..
Pretty quickly, she complied and the listing was removed from the Vacation Rental
Websites. Andrew mentioned that Ms. Jones said she was going to go through the CUP
process.
Now here we are a year later.
My concern is as that since Ms. Jones has already rented both units 160 N, Main illegally
and disregarded the Ashland Comprehensive Planning Codes, that she will do so again. She
will say that she does live on the property but actually will not. She will post it oil vacation
rental sites and rent it by the night without anyone being onsite to oversee tile property.
There will no owner or business manager to watch over the property and ensure that the
nightly tenants are well-behaved such as at a rninimum following the City Noise Ordinance.
Of utmost concern is how will the City verify that Ms. Jones is in compliance with the
ordinance requirements? Specifically, 18.2.3,220 Sec. B#2. How will they verify/enforce
that either the Owner of the property at 1.60 N. Main lives there and it is her primary
residence or that there is a "Business-Owner" who has entered into a Lease Agreement
with Ms. Jones that indeed covers pet- above planning code:
such lease agreement must 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 and has actual ownership of the business and is wholly responsible for all
operations associated with the accommodation and has actual ownership of the business."
Thank you,

Conditional Use Permit Application
Two Unit Travelers' Accommodation
Application. Travelers' Accommodation request for 1.60 N Main Street.
To Whom it May Concern,
This letter is written to request the Planning Department approval for a two-unit travelers'
accommodation. Unit 1 is proposed as the Owner's Unit and Unit ##2 is proposed to be operated.
as a short-term accommodation.
The 7,405 square foot property is occupied by a historic structure that was constructed in the
1890s. The residence has been a duplex unit since 1970 based on the assessor's property notes.
In the late 1980s the structure was utilized as a dentist office and an apartment unit is noted on
the site plan of record. Over the many years, as part of the site development, the parking area
accessed from Central Avenue, the lawn and other landscape areas were also developed.
The adjacent properties to the south, east and west are zoned R-2. The properties to the north
across Central Avenue are zoned R-3.. Properties further east towards downtown are zoned
commercial. The uses of these properties vary from apartment type of development, single
family homes, commercial uses at the Bard's Inn, churches, the former Briscoe Elementary
Schaal, and oltherT'raveler's Accommodations and B & B's.
The proposal is to convert one of the two units into a short-term, Traveler's Accommodation.
The proposal is to operate the unit as a month to month lease for a longer-term tenant and then
convert from approximatly May to October / November as a Traveler's Accommodation.
6
The business owner resides in Unit 1. The proposed Traveler's Accommodation, 16,0 N Main 5t.
Unit #2, is the larger of the two units..
A.1: The proposed single unit traveler's accommodation will meet all applicable building, fire and
related safety codes. There are smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors found in the
bedrooms and living areas. A fire extinguisher is provided in the kitchen of the unit.
A.2: I will maintain a city business license and pay all transient occupancy taxes.
A.3: Any potential advertising will include the city planning action number assigned to land use
approval.
A.4: All regulations outlined in this section will be followed.
B.J.: The property, at 160 N Main Street, has frontage on the boulevard,, avenue or neighborhood
collector.
B.2: During operation of a travelers' accommodation, the property on which the travelers'
accommodation is sited will be the primary residence of the business-owner.
B.3: The primary residence on the site is well over 20 years old. The historic residence was built
in the 1890s.
B.4: There is sufficient square footage to accommodate the travelers' accommodation. The total
structure area is 1,849 square feet. Unit #1 is an 800 square foot one-bedroom unit. Unit #2 is a
1,050 square foot unit.
B.5: There are three, gravel surface parking spaces with adequate backup area available from
the driveway at the rear of the property. The parking area was created when the property was
previously utilized as a dental office and apartment, then a Travelers Accommodation and
apartment. The downstairs unit as a two-bedroom apartment requires 1.75 parking spaces. The
other unit requires one space for a total of 2.75. The total required parking area for the use of
the property as a Traveler's Accommodation, is provided for on-site. No changes to the parking
layout is proposed.

18.5.4 Conditional Use Permits (General)
18.104.50 Approval Criteria
A. Approval Criteria. A Conditiionall 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 City, State, of Federal law or program.
A: Zane: The property is zoned R-2 (Low Density Multi -Family Residential).. The building on this
property is a large, historic, duplex residence. The unit is walking distance to downtown close to
OSF, restaurants and parks, making it a natural for the use we are proposing. The unit is too large
for the property owner to live in and the apartment is a goad size.
Landscaping on the site is existing with mature existing trees. Some of the income generated by
the rental will be dedicated to the yard maintenance. No major investment is expected.
R: The proposal complies with applicable overlay zone requirements. The structure is a historic,
contributing residence. The structure is very old and requires a substantial financial investment
to keep the building is a habitable condition. After many years of investment, the property owner
completed a cosmetic remodel. The ability to re-coup some of the expenses more quickly, allows
for the property owner to keep, and maintain the property in a manner befitting a many more
decades of existence.
C: The proposal complies with the applicable Site Development and Design Standards. There is
parking area at the rear that is accessed from Central Avenue. The parking area is gravel and was
installed with previously approved uses of the property. There are no changes to the property
proposed. The site plan provided demonstrates that three vehicles can park upon the property
in the gravel surface area without the need to move other vehicles on the property.
The trash / recycle cans are to be kept behind the fenced area until trash day where they are
taken to the curb.
The property has historically parked bicycles on the site on the porch and to the rear of the
residence. They are provided a secure location.
2: City Facilities. The proposal complies with the applicable standards in section 18.4.6 Public
Facilities, and that adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm
drainage, paved access to and throughout the property. Public transportation is located within a
I
few yards of the property. There are connected sidewalk systems on the frontage of the
property, through the property and connected to the transportation system.
3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of the
impact area.
a. "Similarity in scale, build and coverage,"
Setbacks.. There are no changes to the existing setbacks.
Height. There are no changes to the existing structures.
Coverage. There are no changes to the existing lot coverage.
b. "Generation of traffic and effects on surround streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle and
mass transit are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities."
Marketing of the unit will emphasize a "walking distance to town" experience. The unit is a
approximatly 1,000 feet from the plaza and can accommodate a family or a small group during
the same periods the hotels have little to no availability.
c. "Architectural compatibility"
No Changes
d. "Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants."
As stated, the travelers' accommodation will emphasize a'walking distance to town" experience.
There will be no additional impact, and possibility reduced impact because of reduced
occupancy, than a long-term rental.
e. "Generation of noise, light and glare".
There will be no additional impact, and possibility of reduced impact because of reduced
occupancy, than a long-term rental has on the impact area.
f. The development of adjacent properties should not be impacted by the use of the structure.
g. The unit at 160 N Main Street meets all the requirements and will support Ashland's image as
a friendly, charming tourist destination without putting additional strain on infrastructure or
inconvenience to the neighborhood. I hope it is well suited for family gatherings with children
and pets.
The proposed Traveler's Accommodation is a large, single family residence located on a busy
thoroughfare. The unit has a high-demand as Traveler's Accommodations due to lack of "family
i
style" units (mare than one or two sleeping roams). The property owner has owned since 1996
and looks forward to having an additional rental stream from the property.
There are, as of July 11, 2018, 116 advertised rental units available or soon to be available in
Ashland, of those, 40 are three or more bedrooms. This indicates that there are available units
that are similar in size and use of the ground floor unit as a Traveler's Accommodation vacation
rental during the tourist season, and will not have a substantial negative impact on the number
of rental units. It is our understanding that the tourism industry is in need of a boost after three
years of wildfire impacts to businesses. Having enough vacation rentals and other
accommodation types to provide for the needed accommodations makes Ashland's economy
more resilient (there are multi-story hotels being constructed rapidly on the south side of the
Medford to accommodate traveler's).
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

This letter is written to request the Planning Department approval for a two-unit travelers'
accommodation. Unit #1 is proposed as the Owner's Unit and Unit #2 is proposed to be operated
as a short-term accommodation,
The 7,405 square foot property is occupied by a historic structure that was constructed in the
100s. The residence has been a duplex unit since 1970 based on the assessor's property notes.
In the late 1986s the structure was utilized as a dentist office and an apartment unit is noted on
the site plan of record. Over the many years, as part of the site development, the parsing area
accessed from Central Avenue, the lawn and other landscape areas were also developed.
The adjacent properties to the south, east and west are zoned R-2. The properties to the north
across Central Avenue are zoned R-. Properties further east towards downtown are zoned
commercial. The uses of these properties vary from apartment type of development, single
family homes, commercial uses at the Bard's Inn, churches, the former Briscoe Elementary
School, and other Traveler's Accommodations and B & B's.
The proposal is to convert one of the two units into a short-term, Traveler's Accommodation.
The proposal is to operate the unit as a month to month lease for a longer-term tenant and then
convert from approximatly May to October d November as a Traveler's Accommodation.
