VI.OTHER BUSINESS
A. Recommendation of Housing Production Strategy Draft Report
Mr. Goldman informed the Commission that many of the strategies in the Housing Production
Strategy (HPS) would require land use amendments, which would be subject to approval by the
Commission. A recommendation for approval to the City Council would also not approve any
particular strategy, but would instead identify items that would move forward for consideration.
Beth Goodman of ECONorthwest began by describing the scale of the HPS, as well as the
involvement from stakeholders, developers, and the community during the process. Ms. Goodman
informed the Commission that the Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee (HHSAC) and
the HPS Advisory Committee were both recommending approval of the HPS.
Ms. Goodman described the role that the City and state would play in the adoption and
implementation of the HPS. She stated that the City is required to commit to implementation, but not
adoption. She added that the HPS is a living document that can be adjusted as some strategies

become unfeasible and are replaced with more viable options. Ms. Goodman presented the
implementation schedule for the strategies identified in the HPS, informing the Commission that late
implementation of some strategies is due to the limited staff of the City, as well as the demanding
schedules of the Commission and Council (see attachment).
Commission Knauer noted that there was not a specified housing goal within the HPS, and asked
how the City and state would gauge success. He further inquired if the state would penalize the City
for not meeting its goals. Ms. Goodman noted that the Oregon Housing Needs Analysis, which
showed the predicted growth in Jackson County usi˾˷ ˱ ̆˱̂˹˵̄̉ ˿˶ ˶˱˳̄˿̂̃ʼ ˳˿̅˼˴ ˹˾˶˿̂˽ ̄˸˵ ˓˹̄̉Ͻ̃
housing target. She added that the state does not currently have a housing target, but that it will
have one in the future. Mr. Goldman stated that the City had experienced strong growth recently, but
that it may lessen and therefore appear disproportionate in comparison. Housing Program Specialist
Linda Reid pointed out that the City also showed housing targets in the Housing Capacity Analysis
(HCA), which could prove useful moving forward with the HPS. Mr. Goldman said that there will not be
one strategy to achieve success.
Public Comments
Cynthia Dettman/Ms. Dettman relayed her experience living in a mobile home park to the
Commission, as well as the experience of some of her neighbors who are struggling to find
affordable housing. She described how many mobile home parks across the country are being
closed or bought and being developed into permanent residences. Ms. Dettman described how

designation, and described how Talent had lost many of its mobile homes to outside developers. She
stated that the City should help protect its mobile homes from predatory practices in a way that also
promotes diversity and safety. Ms. Fields concluded that, in her capacity as a member of the HHSAC,
she fully supports the HPS and implored the Commission to approve it as presented.
Rich Rodhe/Mr. Rodhe stated that he is member of the HHSAC and the HPS Advisory Committee, and
thanked the City, Commission, and staff for their work thus far. He described how the HHSAC had
made 15 recommendations based off of an independent survey it had conducted, some of which
are already being implemented. He stated that the City should hold itself accountable for its work
and goals, and that the HHSAC fully supports the HPS. He appealed to the Commission to approve it
as presented.

the City, which many of the suggested strategies adequately provide. She commented that the City
is still in early stages of acquiring funding sources, and that she is hopeful that the HPS will be
beneficial.
Commissioner Knauer agreed with Commissioner Verner, adding that the strategies should be
prioritized so that some can be achieved more efficiently instead of attempting to complete a
variety of goals simultaneously.
Commissioner Thompson shared some of the skepticism expressed by Commissioners Verner and

create additional housing, and hoped that they are attracted to those opportunities. She showed
appreciation for those who have been involved in the process thus far, and supported ratifying the
HPS.
Commissioner KenCairn suggested that pursuing a variety of strategies will give developers more
options to provide needed housing, and voiced her support of the HPS and those who participated in
its development.
Councilor Hyatt voiced her appreciation to those involved in the creation and development of the
HPS thus far, and expressed the hope that they would continue to be involved when it goes to the
Council.
Chair Norton commented that many of the strategies listed would not have been considered in the
past. He noted that the housing will not be developed by the City itself. He lamented the lack of
involvement from members of the community, and thanked the members of the public who showed
up to speak on this topic.
Commissioner Dawkins agreed with the points raised by Commissioners Knauer and Thompson, and
remarked on the changes the City is undergoing. He pointed out that lumber was the dominant
industry when he was growing up, and that it was unthinkable that that could change. He stated that

Planning Manager Derek Severson provided a presentation regarding the saliant points of the
application, which include a request for Site Design Review, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), tree
removal permit, and a request for a variance and several exceptions to the Ashland Municipal Code
(AMC). Mr. Severson detailed the proposed project site, and remarked that the site would not be
visible from adjacent properties, nor would it have any perceived impact to the surrounding area
(see attachment #1).
Mr. Severson informed the Commission that the application included a geotechnical analysis, and
also contained plans to mitigate any disturbance to the hillside lands and to provide revegetation.
The applicant also requested an exception to hillside development standards in order for the

Environment Impact Statement (EIS) had not been included in the application (see attachment #2).
Mr. Severson responded that the AMC does not have an EIS requirement, and that the applicant
provided the requisite information to address the Water Resource Protection Zone and
Environmental Constraints permits. Mr. Goldman added that an EIS is typically a requisite element of
federal funding, therefore the inclusion of an EIS could occur during the development phase of the
project.

this project had been considered since the mid-1990s, and was formalized as a future capital project
in the 2012 Water Master Plan. He stated that the inclusion of solar panels was at the direction of the
Council, and would allow for nearly 170-180 days of operating solely on net-daytime metering.
Battery storage and backup will also be considered in the future, and the plant will also have diesel
fuel capabilities on-site in the event of an emergency. Mr. Fleury remarked that this is a municipal
facility and that some requirements from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Homeland
Security have necessitated some of the exception and variance requests in the application.
Mr. Fleury stated that the City has been working with the Oregon Health Authority to be granted a
categorical exclusion for the development of the Water Treatment Plant on this site, which is part of
the funding package requirement to receive federal and state funds. The applicant has also
coordinated with multiple state and federal agencies, including the Forest Service since the culvert
replacement will impact a portion of their property. Mr. Fleury stated that the plant will follow existing
land use code and building permit processes for the development, and will also abide by Rogue
Valley Sanitary Sewer requirements.
Questions of the Applicant
Commissioner Thompson inquired about potential risks the development could pose to the
surrounding area, particularly with regards to flooding. Mr. Fleury responded that the site was chosen
because it is outside of the floodplain, and that the facility will be designed to meet current seismic
building code requirements. He added that the topography of the site would result in any spill
entering Ashland Creek in the event of a rupture.
Commissioner KenCairn asked how a potential failure at the facility could effect the downtown area.
Mr. Fleury responded that the effect would be nominal.
Commissioner Knauer asked how much asphalt would be installed for the parking area, and what
effect that could have on runoff into Ashland Creek. Mr. Fleury responded that there will be 5-7
parking spaces, a main circulation area between the plant and the pre-treatment ozone generation
building, and that all runoff would be collected in the storm drain system before being routed
through a bioswale pretreatment system and released into Ashland Creek.

indicates runoff and designates areas of bare granite. Mr. Kwan stated that the runoff will then be
captured into an enhanced stormwater collection system, and that the current site location has very
little percolation.
Addressing the public testimony received prior to the meeting, Mr. Fleury stated that nearby trails
would not be impacted by the plant.
Chair Norton closed the Public Hearing and Record at 7:39 p.m.
Deliberation and Decision
Commissioner Knauer expressed concern that nearby residents could be negatively effected by the
project during the development process, and that they be kept apprised during development.
Commissioner Herron echoed that concern. Chair Norton remarked that the applicants will also
need to obtain a grading permit and that dust control should be considered.
Commissioner Thompson/Verner m/s to approve the application with the conditions
recommended by staff. Roll Call Vote: All AYES. Motion passed 6-0.
Commissioner Thompson stated her appreciation to staff and the Commission, and her gratitude for
the opportunity to serve her community.
Chair Norton related that he came out of retirement to serve on the Commission, and that he would
likely continue to participate in the proceedings as a viewer. He showed appreciation for the civility
of all participants in the Commission meetings over the years.
Councilor Hyatt expressed her gratitude to both retiring Commissioners and stated that their depth
of knowledge enabled her and the Council to make informed decisions. She thanked both
Commissioners for serving their community.
All Commissioners expressed their appreciation to Commissioners Norton and Thompson.

18.4.6.040.I Hillside Streets & Natural
Areas
Hillside Streets and Natural Areas.Streets constructed in hillside lands or natural resource areas (e.g.,
creeks, rock outcroppings, drainages, wetlands) should minimize negative impacts and use minimal cut
and fill slopes. Generally, the range of street types provided in subsection18.4.6.040.Gmake it possible to
construct or improve streets in accordance with the design standards. However, street design may be
adjusted in hillside lands and natural resource areas using the exceptions to street standards process in
subsection18.4.6.020.B.1. In addition to the approval criteria for an exception to street standards, the
following standards must be met:
1.Approval of Streets in Hillside Lands and Natural Areas.Approval of a street in hillside lands or natural
areas shall conform to chapter18.3.10, Physical and Environmental Constraints Overlay, and the following
provisions:
a.Clear Travel Lane.New streets shall provide a 20-foot clear travel lane area in areas designated
hillside lands.
b.On-Street Parking.Ample on-street or bay parking shall be provided at the foot of steep hills,
especially those prone to snow or ice buildup.
c.Streets shall be located in a manner that preserves natural features to the greatest extent feasible.
d.Whenever possible, street alignments shall follow natural contours and features so that visual and
physical access to the natural feature is possible.
e.Streets shall be situated between natural features, such as creeks, mature trees, drainages, common
or public open spaces, and individual parcels in order to appropriately incorporate such significant
neighborhood features.

c. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversitywithin 200 feet of
the subject property. The City shall grant an exception to this criterion when alternatives to the tree removal have been considered and no
reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to be used as permitted in the zone.
d. Nothing in this section shall requirethat the residential density to be reduced below the permitted density allowed by the zone. In making
this determination, the City may consider alternative site plans or placement of structures of alternate landscaping designs that would lessen
the impacton trees, so long as the alternatives continue to comply with the other provisions of this ordinance.
e. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to section 18.5.7.050. Such mitigation
requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.

“The development meets all
applicable ordinance requirements of the City
Adequate key City
facilities can be provided including water, sewer, paved access to and through the
development, electricity, urban storm drainage, police and fire protection, and adequate
transportation; and that the development will not cause a City facility to operate beyond
capacity.”
The existing and natural
features of the land; such as wetlands, floodplain corridors, ponds, large trees, rock
outcroppings, etc., have been identified in the plan of the development and significant
features have been included in the open space, common areas, and unbuildable areas.”
“The development of the land
will not prevent adjacent land from being developed for the uses shown in the
Comprehensive Plan.”
“There are adequate provisions for the maintenance of
open space and common areas, if required or provided, and that if developments are
done in phases that the early phases have the same or higher ratio of amenities as
proposed in the entire project.”
”
The proposed density meets the base and bonus density
standards established under this chapter
“The development complies with the
Street Standards.”
“The proposed development meets the
common open space standards”
There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of
this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the site.
the exception is the
minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty; and the exception is consistent with the
purpose, intent, and background of the street design standards in subsection
18.4.6.040.A; and the exception will result in equal or superior transportation facilities
and connectivity…
