DECISION
Subject Property
The subject property is located on the north side of Siskiyou Boulevard between Morton and Sherman
Street. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of single-family homes, multi-family developments,
and commercial properties. The subject property is zoned Low-Density, Multi-Family Residential (R-2).
The zoning to the north and to the east of the subject property is R-2. To the west, the zoning is Commercial
(C-1 and C-1-D). To the south, the zoning is R-2 and Single-Family Residential (R-1-7.5).
The subject property is 0.21 acres. The lot is a rectangular lot with frontage on Siskiyou Boulevard and
rear frontage along the alley. The site is occupied by an 846 square-foot bungalow at 671 Siskiyou built
around 1944. To the north of the residence adjacent to the alley, there are two cottages built around 1944
and 1946. 675 Siskiyou is a 345 square-foot cottage on the east side and 673 is a 293 square-foot cottage
on the west side of the property.
The request is to convert the two rear cottages (673 and 675) from long-term to short-term rentals and
reserve the primary residence (671) for the owner's unit and a common sitting room for guests. 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 Siskiyou Boulevard. The property on which the Travelers'
Accommodation is sited must be the primary residence of the business owner. The application has
PA-T1-2019-00059
671 Siskiyou Blvd/fk
Page 1
indicated that this will be the case and that the applicants reside in the home. The primary residence must
be at least 20 years old. As indicated by Jackson County survey, the home was built in 1944. The allowed
number of units is determined by dividing the total square footage of the lot by 1,800 square-feet. This
property would allow a total of 5 units. The applicant has proposed only a total of three units (two guest
units and the business owner's unit). Each unit must have 400 square-feet of gross interior floor space -
one cottage has 293 square-feet and the other has 345 square-feet, combined with the 192 square-foot
common room proposed to be segregated from the business owner's living quarters and the area devoted
to the traveler's accommodations exceed 400 square-feet.
The applicant's proposal to operate two guest-unit Travelers' Accommodations requires a total of four
parking spaces. Two for the guest-units and two for the primary dwelling unit are required. To meet the
requirement for the Travelers' Accommodations parking spaces, the applicant shows two parking spaces
provided off of the driveway from the alley and two spaces directly off of the alley to the rear. The two
spaces do not have adequate back-up space and will need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate the 22-
feet of back-up (one of the spaces can be considered a compact space). The applicant is required to provide
two bicycle parking spaces. Those spaces have not been identified and will need to be installed before
issuance of business license.
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 2.8 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.
The application complies with all of the applicable provisions of the R-2 zoning district, the Special Use
Standards AMC 18.23.220 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 tennis
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 18,52, 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

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.
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

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.

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.

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

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,

concrete and pavers.
Proposal:
The request is to allow for the use of the property as a three-unit, Travelers' Accommodation. The
proposal would allow for the two cottages, Unit #2 and Unit# to have the ability to operate as short-
term accommodation unit, and to retain the primary residence, Unit #1 as the owner's accommodations.
One of the bedrooms of the primary residence will be used as a common sitting room for guests of the
Traveler's Accommodation unit. In order to provide better accommodations and achieve a long desired
interior modification of the small residence, a second bathroom is proposed to be added at a later date.
The sitting room area is presently 192-square feet. With the eventual addition of a small restroom, the
remaining square footage will be enough to comply with required minimum floor areas devoted to the
use of the Travelers' Accommodation.

The small cottage is 293-square feet and the lamer cottage is 345-square feet in area, the additional 192-
square feet in area provides more than 400-square feet allocated to the cottage travelers'
accommodations.
The common sitting room is accessed via a patio door at the rear of the building, facing the cottages,
and can be independently locked out from the owner's accommodations.
The cottages have historically been rented on a month-to-month or quarterly basis to professionals that
travel for work such as travel nurses and doctors. The property owner resides in the primary residence.
The resident property owner travels for work, and the request to have the potential for short term rental
in addition to longer term rental, provides the property owner additional financial security and flexibility
to utilize the property and provides a key component to the property owner's ability to retire to his
families Ashland home. The property has an ideal layout and location for the rental of the cottage, and
the main residence to travelers', or those needing less than a 30-day occupancy in a detached living type
of environment.
The proposed Travelers' Accommodations are comfortable, with nicely appointed bathroom and kitchen
areas. The cottages are interestingly too small to be utilized on their own as a short term stay, but the
limited area of the cottages are not in question for a longer term unit where the small area of the unit
actually has an impact on the person's ability to live long term due to the need for more 'things'. It is
why these cottages have been successful for traveling professionals. The Travelers' Accommodation
option provides additional property use potential without negative neighborhood impacts.
No exterior modifications to the existing historic contributing residence are proposed. There is an
extensive outdoor yard area for the use and enjoyment of the tenants of the cottages. Pathways connect
the units through the property out to the public sidewalk on Siskiyou Boulevard. The front yard is
landscaped with an English garden including many herbs which were planted by Nancy Golden, i'v'Ir.
Freeman's mother, thus the name Nancy's Garden. The landscaping will be updated with new annual
plants. The property is served by an extensive automated drip irrigation system,
The existing parking spaces between the cottages would be used as the parking spaces for the Travelers'
Accommodations. The parking along the east property line will continue to be used by the property
owner.
Siskiyou Boulevard is an arterial street which allows for use of properties as Travelers' Accommodations.
The business owner resides on the property in the historic contributing primary structure on the
property.
With the potential for five Travelers' Accommodation units (9086/1800 5), three (3) units, including
the owner's unit), is fewer than the maximum allowed number of Travelers' Accommodations allowed
on the lot.

the following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the target use
of the zone.
The r°ecluested conditional use per-rnit can he compared to using ihelnwolrerty as three, small, selwrate
residences. The lar-get use of lhelrrolaerty bayed on the lot ar°ea in the R-2 zone is 2.8 dwelling Imits.
Presenlly, leased on the square.lbotage c?f'lhe collages, there are 2.5 dwellings on the sile, this is
consistent with the allowed use in the R-2 zone.
a) Similarity in scale, bulk and coverage.
Ilrere are no anticil)ated changes in scale, bulls or• cover-age.
b) Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and
mass transit are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities.
