PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
REQUEST:
The proposed plan entails the conversion of a 540 sf existing garage unit into a proposed residence of
500 sf(including an addition of 87 sf). 79 sf of the garage will remain to be used as shop/storage. The
new addition will create an exterior fenced courtyard at the entrance off of the alley, and allow for an
intermediary connection to the shared yard area with the existing residence.
LOW-DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING COMPLIANCE:
The proposed usage complies with the R-2 Zone District (Chapter 18.24) in regard to permitted uses,
setbacks, lot coverage, and height.
ACCESS/PARKING:
AMC 18.2.5.030.A requires 1.5 parking spaces for the primary residence and 1 space for the proposed
residential unit, due to the proposed area of the unit being less than or equal to 500 sf. A total of three
parking spaces will be required, one of which is proposed to be an on-street (standard) parking credit at
- for approximately 33.3% of
the required parking per code(<50%).
ARKING STUDIES:
The request for granting of a parking credit for an on-street parking space is based on a series of
photographs by the applicant exhibiting the minimal demand for street parking at the location of the
proposed residence. As exhibited by the photographs there is a high availability of parking spaces along
thth
C street between 6 and 7street, specifically along the South side of C(applicants property). The North
side of C street has had higher density street parking due to the construction/restoration of the church
th
and surrounding properties at the corner of 6/C street.

MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT (AMC 18.40): The proposed one-story structure is 14-0
--half stories in height as required by the R-2 zone.
SOLAR ACCESS(AMC 18.70):
The city of Ashland solar ordinance is specifically designed to address solar impact to adjacent properties
to the north. The proposed structure will be in conformance with the ordinance, having no impact on
neighboring property across C street(north of the lot).
L ANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE:
Total landscaping for the site is 3,775 sf (51%), exceeding the requirement for zone requirements for 35%
landscape. All existing landscape is irrigated and has a variation in coverage/height per zoning
requirements.
ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS:
ASHLAND PLANNING: Elements such as exterior lighting, trash and recycling, and bike parking would also
need to be shown on the plan and described how they will be integrated into the proposal.
All exterior lighting will be down-lighting with motion sensor/timer control, to ensure minimal
disturbance to the surrounding neighborhood. Trash, recycling, and bicycles will be inside the fenced
yard perimeter and under the shelter of the roof overhang.
NEW ELECTRIC SERVICE:
ASHLAND PLANNING: The City of Ashland requires that a separate electrical service/meter be installed for
each independent living unit. Installation of a new electrical meter/service would also require that a service
connection fee be paid to the Electric Department and the meter installed, inspected and approved prior to
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the unit. Staff would suggest contacting Dave Tygerson of the
City of Ashland Electric Department to verify service requirements, including meter placement and applicable
fees. ALSO this requires that the new unit be assigned a new address.
A new electrical service/meter is currently installed on the eastern face of the existing residence. The
applicant will pay a connection fee to the Electrical Department and the meter will be inspected and
approved prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the unit.
NEW ADDRESS:
ASHLAND PLANNING: All new Accessory Residential Units require new addresses assigned by the City of
Ashland Public Works Department.
The applicant intends to take the necessary steps to be assigned a new address for the Accessory
Residential Unit by the City of Ashland Public Works Department.
TREE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION:
ASHLAND PLANNING: All planning actions are required to include a tree preservation/protection plan in
accordance with AMC 18.61; this is intended to ensure that trees are protected during all site disturbance
(including demolition, construction, driveway/parking installation, staging of materials, etc. This plan must
address all trees on the property over six-inches in diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) and all trees that are
located on adjacent properties within 15 feet of the property line as well.
The construction of the proposed building will not impact any trees on the property.
8
ENERGY USE APPROXIMATION
The project intends to use a electrical ductless mini-split system for the heating and cooling of the
proposed residence. It is estimated that an annual energy budget of 5,000 kWh (per energystar website)
will be required for use.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CHAPTER 18.5.4)
In reference to section 18.2.3.220 Travelers Accommodation in R-2 and R-3 zones, the applicant is
requesting a Conditional Use Permit under chapter 18.5.4, subject to Site Design Review under chapter
18.5.2 and meeting the following requirements:
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.
Confirmed, applicant is in conformance with zoning standards.
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.
Confirmed, all aforementioned services and access will be provided to 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.
Confirmed, as shown in elevations/plans.
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.
The applicant anticipates light to moderate usage of the traveler accommodation during the peak
spring/summer/fall seasons. The estimated average weekday ITE trip rate for a multifamily unit is
6.47 in comparison the ITE trip rate for a hotel unit 8.7. This disparity in trip rates will most likely
be a non-issue as the applicant will be providing bicycles for transportation and the proximity to
both the railroad district and downtown will encourage pedestrian/bicycle transit as the preferred
means of transportation.
c. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
Confirmed, as shown in photographs/elevations/plans.
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.
