SUBJECT PROPERTIES: 612 Chestnut Street
OWNER/APPLICANT: Bert Anderson
DESCRIPTION: A request for Conditional Use Permit approval to operate an Accessory Traveler's
Accommodation within the existing home located at 612 Chestnut Street. There are no proposed site
changes.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Low-Density, Multi-Family Residential; ZONING: R-

SUBMITTAL DATE: August 20, 2019
DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: August 25, 2019
STAFF APPROVAL DATE: September 20, 2019
DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): October 4, 2019
FINAL DECISION DATE: October 7, 2019
APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: April 7, 2021
DECISION
The request is to convert the first floor living space into an Accessory Traveler's Accommodation (ATA).
A Conditional Use Permit is requested to operate the Accessory Traveler's Accommodation on-site.
Subject Property
The subject property is located on the east side of Chestnut, the third home off of a flag drive. The.
surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single-family homes, multi-family developments, and
commercial properties related to the hospital. The subject property is zoned Low-Density, Multi-Family
Residential (R-2). The zoning to the north of the subject property is also R-2 and Single-Family
Residential {R-1-7.5). The property to the west and south is Healthcare (FIC), R-2, R-1-7.5. The property
to the east is HC, R-2 and E-1.
The subject property is 0.23 acres with its sole access from the flag drive. The site is occupied by an 1,818
square-foot single-family residence. The proposal is to convert the first floor family room into an
Accessory Traveler's Accommodation. No site changes or changes to the exterior of the structure are
proposed, so Site Design Review is not applicable.
Conditional Use Permit
The application is required to meet the special use standards for an Accessory Travelers' Accommodation
in AMC 18.2.3.220 and the approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit in AMC 18.5.4.050.
An Accessory Travelers' Accommodation is an allowed use in the R-2 zone if it meets the Special Use
Standards. That criteria requires that the operator of the accessory traveler's accommodation must be the
property owner and the property must be the operator's primary residence. This is met; the applicant is
the property owner and resides primarily at 612 Chestnut, the single-family residence on the property.
The property on which the Travelers' Accommodation is sited is limited to one Accessory Traveler's
Accommodation unit, covered under a single reservation and consisting of two or fewer bedrooms. The
applicant is aware of this requirement and intends to utilize the converted space as one reservation. The
PA-TI-2019-00073
612 Chestnut/fk
Page 1
space complies with the requirement that it consist of two or fewer bedrooms. The property must have
two off-street parking spaces, and it has a two car garage and two extra parking spaces straight from the
driveway to the east side of the lot with adequate backup. The applicant is also aware only one guest
vehicle is allowed and proposes accommodating bicycle parking indoors. Signs are not permitted in
conjunction with the operation of an accessory travelers' accommodation, and the applicant has indicated
no signs will be used. Meals are not allowed to be provided and kitchen cooking facilities are not
permitted. The applicant proposes a pathway to make access more pedestrian friendly throughout the site.
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 two dwelling units.
The proposed use is unlikely to generate more traffic than two full time residences. The proposed
Accessory Traveler's Accommodation and residential uses are similar in number of vehicle trips. The
site's location is near North Main Street, and allows for pedestrian and bicycling to nearby amenities. The
Accessory Traveler's Accommodation will not affect the development of adjacent properties.
The application 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.
Staff received a comment concerned with the applicant utilizing parking on adjacent private property.
Private parking on adjacent or other private lots is prohibited without the owners' permission, and shall
utilize on-site parking or street parking in the vicinity instead.
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

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 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.

You rep hei on 8130/2019 1011 AM,
Thanks. Fotini,
for clarifying this morning questions I had regarding PLANNING ACTION PA-T1-2019-00073. This concerns a request for an conditional use permit for the property at 612 Chestnut St.
awned by Mr.
Bert Anderson who wishes to acquire an ACCESSORY TRAVELER'S ACCOMMODATION permit. You have informed one that the requirements for such approval requires the applicant to have
available three off street parking spots. Two for the residence and one for the proposed guest lodging.
I have owned the adjacent property at 264 Maple St. since 1979 where it has served as the office of Ashland Orthopedic Associates since 1580. During these past forty years 1, like
Ashland as a
whole have witnessed the price that has to be paid to support the concept of INFILL vs SPRAWL tthis was my reference to Brent Thompson who championed infill as a city councilor in
the 80s), and
that price is diminished available parking. My office parking lot commonly contains tars that represents the overflow from the hospital across the street that chronically struggles
with available
parking. In the past the applicant has found it convenient to have weekend guests traveling per RV use our parking lot vs, using Chestnut St. with its necessarily long hike on the
extended flag lot
driveway. That the applicant installed a gate in the fence that sits on our property line speaks to the path of least resistance when ingressing of egressing on foot the property
at 512 Chestnut St.
Fotini, you can see where I'm going with this. While Mr. Anderson has been. a good neighbor, and while I have no objection to his pursuit of enhancing his cash. flow, I am concerned
about available
parking. Mr. Anderson currently utilizes two off street parking spots if) an extremely limited area. To squeeze a third vehicle into the same area is physically impossible. My concern
is the path of
least resistance and yet more unwanted cars in the office parking lot I'm also concerned that this year's accessory travelers accommodation becomes next year's vacation rental.
Part of me wants to rolt over and say go for it Mr. Anderson as it's no big deal, but the part of me that has been hardened by the reality of Ashland real estate says the value of
my property will be
diminished by this potential liability and such I must oppose this PLANNING ACTION.
Respectfully submitted''.

FIRE COMMENTS
Ashland Fire & Rescue Contact: Ralph Sartain 541-552-2229 ralph.sartain@ashland.or.us
Fire department comments are based upon the 2014 Oregon Fire Code as adopted by the Ashland
Municipal Code, and Ashland Land Use Laws:
Addressing - Building numbers or addresses must be at least 4 inches tall, be of a color that is in contrast
to its background, and shall be plainly visible and legible from the street fronting the property. Additional
directional signage may be necessary to guide emergency responders down a driveway, path or through
a gate. All premises identification, street signs and building numbers, must be in place with temporary
signs when construction begins and permanent signage prior to issuance of any occupancy. OFC 505
Firefighter Access Pathway - An approved footpath around the structure is required so that all exterior
portions of the structure can be reached with the fire hose. Any changes in elevation greater than two
feet in height (such as retaining walls) require stairs. The stairs shall be an all-weather surface, and meet
the requirements as specified in the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. OFC 503.1.1
Fire Hydrant Distance to Structures - Hydrant distance is measured from the hydrant, along a driving
surface, to the approved fire apparatus operating location. Hydrant distance shall not exceed 300 feet.
Hydrant distance can be increased to 600 feet if approved fire sprinkler systems are installed.
Fire Hydrants Clearance - Hydrants must have 3 feet of clearance extending from the center nut of the
hydrant all the way around. Fences, landscaping and other items may not obstruct the hydrant from clear
view. Hydrants must be shown on site plan when submitting for building permits.
Fire Sprinkler System The installation of a fire sprinkler system may be an acceptable means to mitigate
deficiencies related to other fire requirements such as fire flow, hose reach, fire lane width, fire apparatus
turn-around, distance to fire hydrants, and fire department work areas. OFC 503.1.1
Gates and Fences - Obstructions such as gates, fences, or any other item which would block or reduce
the required fire apparatus access width must be shown on the plans and approved by Ashland Fire and
Rescue.
Wildfire Hazard Areas On lands designated in the Wildfire Lands Overlay, a "Fuel Break" as defined in
Ashland Municipal Code, section 18.3.10.100 is required.
Wildfire Hazard Areas - All structures shall be constructed or re-roofed with Class B or better non-wood
roof coverings, as determined by the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. No structure shall be
constructed or re-roofed with wooden shingles, shakes, wood-product material or other combustible
roofing material, as defined in the City's building code. AMC 18.3.10.100
Vegetation - existing and intentionally planted vegetation is required to meet AMC 18.3. 10.1 OOB(2)
General Fuel Modification Area Standards. The Fire Wise landscaping brochure provides diagrams and
examples of how to meet these requirements. www.ashiandfirewise.org. Contact Ashland Fire & Rescue
Forestry Division for a fuel break inspection.
Fire Season - If work will be completed during fire season, check fire season fire prevention requirements
found at www.ashland.or.uslfireseason.
Vacation Rentals & Traveler's Accommodations
The following are the requirements for vacation rentals:
• Smoke alarm in each sleeping room, in the hall leading to the sleeping room and one on each
level.
• if a fire sprinkler system is present, it is required to be maintained in service.
612 Chestnut
August 7, 20191fk
Page 5
• If you have a carbon monoxide source, then a CO alarm is required to be within five feet of each
bedroom. Carbon monoxide sources include fuel fired appliances such as gas, wood or oil, and a door
that leads to the garage.
• Each sleeping room is required to have an available emergency escape through a window, so the
window is required to be openable and remain open while someone would crawl out. If there is a door
that leads to the outside, that can be considered the emergency escape in lieu of the window.
• A fire extinguisher should be located on each level- minimum IAIOBC size. It is required to be
mounted in a visible location and serviced annually. If you have just purchased new ones, either use the
tag from the box to write the installation date on or use a permanent marker and write the month and date
of installation on the fire extinguisher.
• Make an emergency plan. It should include text with the address of the home, call 9-1-1 for
emergencies and the safety features in the home and a diagram for evacuation. This should be made
available in the home where guests would see it. Here is an example of an emergency plan
www.ashland.or.us/vacation rentals.
• Call for an inspection from the fire department after gaining planning approval. 541.482.2770
Final determination of fire hydrant distance, fire flow, and fire apparatus access requirements will be
based upon plans submitted for Building Permit review. Changes from plans submitted with this
application can result in further requirements. Any future construction must meet fire code requirements
in effect at that time. The fire department contact for this project is Fire Marshal Ralph Sartain. He may
be contacted at {541} 552-2229 or ralph.sartain@ashland.or.us.

downstairs room by travelers parked in the parking area is via a
path through landscaped gardens, through a gate to the East outside
door, giving guests a private entrance.

amber, and catalpa. Probably 30 varieties of lower level new and
mature plants and flowering bushes fill in. On the south side of the
property is a raised vegetable garden,
