DECISION
Summary
The project proposes to construct three new dwellings in addition to the two existing dwellings
already on site, for the development of five total multi -family residential dwellings in a multi-
family residential zone. Per Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 18.5.2.020.13, development
of three or more dwelling units on a residential zoned lot requires Site Design Review approval.
The subject property is rectangular in shape and is zoned R-2, a low-density multi -family
residential zoning. Surrounding properties are zoned R-2 and to the south and west R-1-7.5, single
family residential. Per the application, the subject property is developed with a single -story 1,513
square foot primary residence with a basement that was converted into a 618 square foot studio
residential unit (425 Holly Street address), a 338 square foot below grade garage attached to the
south side of the structure, and a carport -pergola accessed from Gresham Street. The driveway on
Gresham Steet provides access to the residence at 292 Gresham and a narrow asphalt driveway on
the southeast side of the property provides access to the residence 425 Holly Street and basement
level garage. There are no street frontage improvements (curbs, gutters, paving, park row planting
strips or sidewalks) along Gresham Street or Holly Street, and the applicant is requesting
Exceptions to the Street Design Standards to not install sidewalks on Gresham and to install a
curbside sidewalk on Holly.
The subject property at 292 Gresham Street has access from both Gresham Street and Holly Street.
The property is 0.35 acres or approximately 15,104 square feet in area. The minimum lot area for
PA -T1-2024•-00238
292 Greshain Streetljnc
Page I
three dwellings is 9,000 square feet. Therefore, this lot meets the requirements for three or more
dwelling units per AMC Chapter 18.2.5.080.D.b.
The subject property as proposed conforms to the allowed density of 4.7 units for this zone with
the requested five percent density bonus (0.3 5 acres x 13.5 base density for R-2 zone = 4.7 units
maximum). Per the application and Chapter 18.2.5.080, the existing 1,513 square foot residence
is equal to 1 unit, the 618 square foot studio is equal to 1 unit, the 496 square foot basement
apartment is equal to .75 unit, the 1247 square foot residence is equal to 1 unit, and the 989
square foot residence is equal to 1 unit. This is a total of 4.75 units. The proposal requests a five
percent density bonus for the provision of additional outdoor open space to allow for 4.75
dwelling units where 4.7 dwelling units is the base density. The additional open space satisfies
the density bonus requirement.
As provided in AMC 18.3.9.050.B.2.b, developments with fewer than ten units that provide more
than two percent of the project area for common open space receive a one percent density bonus
shall be awarded for each one percent of the total project area in common open space in excess of
any common open space required in AMC 18.4.4.070, with the caveat that open space provided
must meet the standards in AMC 18.4.4.070. The standard open space requirement is that at least
eight percent of the lot area must be provided in common open space for Site Design Review, and
an additional 1.064 percent for a total of 9.0164 percent of the lot area would be required to obtain
the requested density. A condition of approval has been included below to require that the final
permit submittals identify at least 1,361 square feet of common open space (15,104 square foot lot
area x 0.090164 = 1361.84 square feet) and that this open space shall meet the requirements of
AMC 18.4.4.070.
The subject property is within the local Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District but is outside of the
National Historic District boundary. The existing primary residence is not listed as a designated
historic home. According to Jackson County records, the structure was built in 1957. The
maximum allowed lot coverage in the R-2 zone is 65 percent. Lot coverage includes the total area
of a lot covered by buildings, parking areas, driveways, and other solid surfaces that will not allow
natural water infiltration to the soil. The maximum lot coverage for this lot is 9,909 square feet.
With the existing and proposed structure and solid surfaces the proposed lot coverage is 7,134 or
47 percent lot coverage with 200 square feet of proposed permeable solid surface.
The application states that four trees will be removed to construct the additional units: two black
oaks, one white oak, and one ponderosa pine. Eight mature trees (oaks and cedars) will be protected
and preserved by installing temporary fencing prior to construction. The applicant is proposing to
mitigate the loss of the four trees meeting the required one to one planting mitigation requirements.
SITE DESIGN REVIEW
Site Design Review applies to this proposal per Chapter 18.5.2.020.B.1, which requires Site
Design Review for "three or more dwelling units on a lot in a residential zone..." In addition to
the approval criteria, Site Design Review is also subject to the Building Placement, Orientation
and Design standards for residential development found in AMC 18.4.2.030, and Landscaping
and Screening found in AMC 18.4.4.030 and for Open Space and Tree Preservation, Protection
and Removal; and 18. S. 7 for Tree Removal and Mitigation. The approval criteria for Site Design
Review are found in AMC 18.5.2.050.
PA -TI -2024-00238
292 Gresham Street/jnc
Page 2
The first criterion for Site Design Review approval is that the proposal complies with all the
applicable provisions of the underlying zone (part 18.2), including but not limited to: building and
yard setbacks, lot area and dimensions, density and floor area, lot coverage, building height,
building orientation, architecture, and other applicable standards. The application shows that the
setbacks and separations for existing buildings and proposed building yard setbacks, lot area and
dimensions, density and floor area, lot coverage, building height, building orientation, architecture,
and other applicable standards ,have been satisfied. A condition of approval has been included to
require that the final permit submittals demonstrate compliance with lot coverage standards,
setbacks and solar access.
The second criterion for Site Design Review approval is that the proposal complies with applicable
overlay zone requirements (part 18.3). The subject property is within the Siskiyou-Hargadine
Historic District. The application materials include calculations demonstrating that the proposal
complies with the Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA) limitations of the historic district,
noting that the allowed MPFA for five units is 3,875 square feet and that as proposed the total floor
area on the property will be 3,749 square feet. The application explains that the proposed new
structures are similar in architectural character to the existing structure on the property. Many of
the structures on adjacent properties were constructed after 1950. The siding direction, materials,
overhang, orientation, and scale of the proposed structures are consistent with adjacent structures.
The window sizes and openings and roof pitch and orientation have been designed to blend in with
the neighborhood characteristics.
Within the local historic districts, developments are subject to the Historic District Development
Standards of AMC 18.4.2.050, and the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC)
serves in advisory role to the Staff Advisor with regard to these development standards. The
Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) reviewed the application at its regular
meeting on July 3, 2024, and made the following comments and recommendations:
1. Proposed roofing should be standing seam metal and should be gray or darker color to
match the roofing of the existing building.
2. That the project as proposed seems to fit the neighborhood.
3. That the proposal is a great use of the site and HPAC likes that the proposed cottage
designs are a contemporary interpretation of the 1950's design of the existing home.
Staff notes that metal roofs in the historic districts are generally to be avoided per historic district
design standards in Chapter 18.4.2.050.C.2.i. However, the proposed metal roofing for this
project is being considered as an exception to the Historic District Development Standards as the
metal roof matches the existing home on the site, provides benefits with regard to wildfire, and
was supported by HPAC.
The third criterion for Site Design Review approval is that "The proposal complies with the
applicable Site Development and Design Standards ofpart 18.4." The applicable standards for
Building Placement, Orientation and Design for Residential Development are found in AMC
18.4.2.030
Building Placement, Orientation and Design (AMC 18.4.2.030. C)
Two of the proposed new buildings (Units # 3 and 4) are orientated to Holly Street with access
from a driveway from Holly Street, while Unit #5 is oriented to Gresham Street, behind the
PA -T1-2024-00238
292 Gresham Street/jnc
Page 3
existing residence with pedestrian access from Gresham Street. The proposed new units are
described as contemporary single -story, ranch -style and two-story craftsman -style structures with
low-pitched, gable roofing. As stated above the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee
recommends that the standing seam metal roofing be gray or darker to match the existing
structure.
Open S ace AMC 18.4.2.030.H
As provided in AMC 18.3.9.050,132b, developments with fewer than ten units that provide more
than two percent of the project area for common open space receive a one percent density bonus
shall be awarded for each one percent of the total project area in common open space in excess
of any common open space required in AMC 18.4.4.070, with the caveat that open space
provided must meet the standards in AMC 18.4.4.070. The standard open space requirement is
that at least eight percent of the lot area must be provided in common open space for Site Design
Review, and an additional 1.064 percent for a total of 9.0164 percent of the lot area would be
required to meet the open space requirement and obtain the requested density. The site plan
shows 240 square feet of open space area adjacent to each unit for a total of 1,200 square feet of
open space area. In addition, there is a lawn and yard area connecting the open spaces and
surrounding structures. A condition of approval has been included below to require that the final
permit submittals identify at least 1,361 square feet of common open space (15,104 square foot
lot area x 0.090164 = 1361.84 square feet) and that this open space shall meet the requirements
of AMC 18.4.4.070.
Parking Area Landscaping and Screening (AMC 18.4.4.030.F.2)
Currently, there is a vehicular parking area in the driveway to the existing building accessed
from Gresham Street. The parking area is screened from the house by a low wooden fence.
Parkinggyout
With regard to parking, with changes to meet the Climate -Friendly & Equitable Communities
(CLEC) rules, Ashland no longer has minimum parking requirements and cannot consider off-
street parking in land use decisions. The application states that no parking will be provided
between the proposed buildings and the street. On -street parking is being proposed for the new
units. There is an existing driveway parking area accessed from Gresham Street and an existing
one car garage accessed from Holly Street.
The application states that covered bicycle parking will be provided for five bikes next to
proposed unit #5 and accessed from Holly Street.
Accessible Packing
Per Chapter 18.4.3.050, in cases where no parking spaces are voluntarily proposed, outside of the
C -1-D zone, for commercial... and multifamily developments with three or more dwelling units,
it is mandatory to provide at least one accessible parking space. Accessible parking shall be
provided consistent with the requirements of the building code, including but not limited to the
minimum number of spaces for automobiles, van -accessible spaces, location of spaces relative to
building entrances, accessible routes between parking areas and building entrances, identification
signs, lighting, and other design and construction requirements. Accessible parking shall be
clearly identified on the building application submittals.

TREE PRESERVATION AND REMOVAL
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Removal (AMC 18.4.4.030.D)
The applicant proposes installing fencing to protect and preserve trees during construction. The
proposal includes the removal of four mature trees. Conditions have been included to require a
certified arborist assess the cedars and cork oaks along Holly Street and provide
recommendations for sidewalk installation and protection during construction.
Tree Preservation, Removal and Mitigation (AMC 18.5.7
The application states that twelve mature trees will be preserved during and after development,
and that four trees will be removed to construct the new units. The trees proposed to be removed
are as follows:
1. 28 -inch DBH Ponderosa pine
2. 24 -inch DBH California black oak
3. 22 -inch DBH Oregon white oak
4. 18 -inch DBH California black oak
To mitigate the removal of the four trees identified above, four trees are proposed to be planted
in open spaces. A condition has been included that a final landscaping and irrigation plan be
provided with the building permit submittal and shall include a size- and species-specific detail,
including the four proposed mitigation trees and required irrigation details.
The fourth criterion for Site Design Review approval is that 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 and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject property.
The application states that the property is currently served by adequate City of Ashland facilities
for water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and electricity services from Holly Street. In staff's
assessment, the proposal will create greater impacts on the level of residential use of the subject
property, however, it will not have greater impacts or cause adverse impacts on the architectural
compatibility, air quality, generation of traffic, noise, light and glare, or on the development of
adjacent properties than the surrounding properties. There is an apartment building to the east of
this property with greater density than this proposal. A condition of approval is included below
to require a final electric service plan and final utility plan including a storm drainage plan to be
provided for review and approval by the Public Works/Engineering, Planning, and Building
Departments prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Exceptions. to the Street Desi n Standard AMC 18.4.6.020. b
The application requests two Exceptions to the Street Design Standards. Presently, the Gresham
Street and Holly Street frontages are improved with curbs and gutters, but there are no park rows
or sidewalks on either frontage.
Gresham Street is classified as an avenue, and standard frontage improvements would typically
include at least a seven -foot landscaped park row planting strip with irrigated street trees and a
six-foot sidewalk. The application requests an Exception to the Street Design Standards not to
install frontage improvements along Gresham Street citing the grade of the right-of-way behind
the curb, the steepness of the street, that the improvements are shifted east within the right-of-
way so there is only approximately six feet of available right-of-way behind the curb, large
PA -Ti -2024-00238
292 Gresham Streetljnc
Page 5
stature trees and significant public infrastructure which would conflict with sidewalk installation,
and the adjacent development pattern and lack of connectivity within the broader neighborhood.
In staff's assessment, while a number of the applicant's arguments do not merit exception, there
are four large stature trees along Gresham Street that would be impacted by any sidewalk
installation. As such, staff believe an exception is merited, however conditions have been
included to require that: prior to permit issuance the applicant sign in favor of a future Local
Improvement District (LID) for the future improvement of Gresham Street; that the applicant
dedicate a public pedestrian access easement or additional right-of-way necessary to
accommodate future city standard improvements along the full Gresham Street frontage; and that
where it will not impact the large, established trees the six-foot area behind the curb shall be
leveled and surfaced with decomposed granite to provide areas for those parking on Gresham
Street to exit their vehicles. These decomposed granite areas shall be coordinated with a revised
pedestrian circulation plan for the site.
Holly Street is classified as a neighborhood collector. Standard frontage improvements would
include at least a seven -foot landscaped park row planting strip with irrigated street trees and at
least a five-foot sidewalk. The application requests an Exception to the Street Design Standards
to install a curbside sidewalk with no park row planting strip along Holly Street, noting that the
sidewalk would be narrowed in the vicinity of the Cork Oak (#E09) which is less than eight feet
behind the curb. The application again notes the steepness of the street, large stature trees and
significant public infrastructure which would conflict with sidewalk installation, as well as the
adjacent development pattern and lack of connectivity within the broader neighborhood as bases
for the exception.
As with the Gresham Street frontage, staff believe that the presence and location of the large
stature established trees do merit the exception requested to install a six-foot curbside sidewalk.
Conditions have been added to require that before preparing final drawings for the sidewalk
installation, the applicant shall consult with a certified arborist for recommendations to insure the
long-term viability of the Cedar and Cork Oaks along Holly Street in terms both of how the
sidewalk is to be installed and how the trees will be protected during installation. These
recommendations shall be incorporated into the sidewalk plan and tree protection plan and
provided with the plan submittal.
The final criterion for Site Design Review approval addresses Exceptions to the Site
Development and Design Standards. As stated above the application is requesting an exception
to the roofing materials that are preferrable within the Historic Districts. AMC 18.4.2.050.C.2.i
notes that metal roofing is to be avoided. The applicant is proposing to use standing seam metal
roofing on the new structures. In considering this request, the Historic Preservation Advisory
Committee (HPAC) was supportive of the request, noting that standing seam metal roofing was
compatible with the existing home but recommending that the roofing be a darker grey color to
match the existing home. A condition incorporating the HPAC recommendation has been
included below.
COMMENTS
Committee Comments
The City of Ashland Tree Management Advisory Committee (Tree MAC) reviewed the
application at its regular meeting on July 3, 2024. After a brief discussion the Tree MAC
unanimously recommended that the trees identified for removal in the application be removed
PA -T1-2024-00238
292 Gresham Street/jnc
Page 6
for construction. The committee also recommended that further protective measures should be
planned and followed for the cork oak. A condition is included below to require that an arborist
assess the cork oak and make specific recommendations for the sidewalk installation and tree
protection during construction.
The City of Ashland Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) reviewed the
application at its regular meeting on July 3, 2024. After discussion HPAC agreed with the overall
concepts of the plan, and while the proposed metal roofing is counter to Historic District
Development Standards, HPAC determined that with the proposed darker color of the roof was
an appropriate match for the existing structure.
City Utilitv Comments
Final plans for utility installation shall be included with the building permit application and be
approved by the Public Work, Planning, Building and Electric Departments prior to issuance of
the building permit.
Public Comments
In accordance with the Land Use Ordinance, Notice of Complete Application (HOCA) was
mailed to all surrounding properties within 200 feet of the subject property, as well as a physical
notice posted along the frontage. After the mailing of the NOCA, two public comments were
received. These comments generally expressed concerns with density, increases in traffic,
sidewalks, tree preservation, and on -street parking, all of which are discussed elsewhere in this

Subject: 292 Gresham
[EXTERNAL SENDER]
Dear Sirs,
I would like to know how 3 additional homes can be placed on the property at 292 Gresham St. Is there
going to be additional driveway cuts? Is this the only property that will change? Are these single family
homes?? Do they meet the lot size requirements of this property?
It seems to me that the addition of 3 homes will decrease the value of my property, due to increased
traffic, congestion of traffic and having less parking in the area. If these are small lots, there will be a lot
of additional cars on the streets.
I also am concerned about cutting trees down. We need every tree that is mature and producing oxygen.
Replacing these large beautiful trees with small new trees(if even required) will not have the same oxygen
production, provide shade and a place for birds to build homes.
Thanks for your consideration,
Melinda March

Subject Property: 292 Gresham Street

FROM: Anne and John Steiner
402 Holly Street
Ashland, OR 97520
As a neighbor of this property, there are several objections we have to the proposed
changes.
There will be a number of adverse impacts to our neighborhood.
In general, the developer is trying to jam too many units into the space. The only way to do
this is to make too many exceptions to Ashland codes:
Density: The property has been a single home dwelling going back to the 1950s. There is a
mix of apartments, condos, and single family dwellings on the block. If the city approves
this plan, the property goes from one unit to five. That is a significant increase in people
and cars. By manipulating the building code to suggest that two basement apartments
"don't count" in the planning doesn't change the reality. The reality is that pedestrian and
vehicles will be increased by at least five times, but probably more.
There is no plan to build additional off street parking. We will have more cars parked on the
streets. There are (at best) currently four off street parking spots. The Gresham street
parking space has a pergola straddling it. There might be tight parking for three very small
cars, but most likely it will only be able to handle two. The corner of Holly and Gresham is
a busy thoroughfare. Pedestrians, cars, wildlife, and bicycles use it constantly. There is a
very steep hill on Gresham leading up to Holly Street. It creates a blind spot, as one
cannot see what is coming up or down until you reach the crest, which is right at the corner
of Holly and Gresham. Having cars parked on Gresham will create even more of a hazard,
because it will make the street more narrow. When cars and trucks are parked on both
sides of Gresham, we have witnessed near -misses of wildlife and pedestrians due to that
blind spot. Since there is no sidewalk planned on the Gresham side of the property, more
people and animals will be forced to walk in the street, which will be more narrow due to an
increase of parked cars. This will make what is already a hazardous corner much, much
worse.
When it snows and/or is icy, cars skid and slide when attempting to drive down Holly or turn
on Gresham. We see it every time it snows. Because of the slope of the streets on Holly
and Gresham, the cars will slide into the corner of the property in question. Many people
abandon their cars, blocking traffic or our driveway, because they cannot get down the hill.
They are forced to start walking. Now imagine more cars parked on the street, more
pedestrians - it's a recipe for disaster. The property will need more parking, a sidewalk on
Gresham, and/ or fewer units in order to be safe.
Trees: Cutting down four beautiful, large trees in order for the developer to build as many
separate units as possible onto the lot is exactly what the code was intended to prevent!
There is no good reason for cutting down four trees on the property. Wildlife will be affected
and it will increase greenhouse gasses.
We urge you to not allow this plan as it is now to go forward. The property as planned will
be too congested and will not provide adequate parking.
Sincerely,
John and Anne Steiner

units per acre. The permitted base density shall be increased by the
percentage gained through the residential density bonus in subsection
18.2.5.080.E.
Finding:
The proposal requests a five percent density bonus for the provision of additional
outdoor open space (18.2.5.080.E) to allow for 4.75 dwelling units where 4.7 are
permitted.
E. Residential Density Bonus.
1. Density Bonus Points Authorized. Except as allowed under chapter 18.3.9,
Performance Standards Option and PSO Overlay, the permitted base density shall
be increased only pursuant to this section.
Findin
The proposal seeks a five percent density bonus for the provision of
additional common open space as allowed under this section (18.2.5.080.E).
2. Maximum Density Bonus Points. The total maximum bonus permitted shall be

square feet will be identified on all building permit set
landscape and irrigation plans.
The site plan specifically depicts 240 square feet of open
space area adjacent to each unit for a total of 1,200 square
feet of area. These areas are private turf surface `yards' for the
units_
The remaining 80.7 square feet of common opens space is a
natural area to the north of the existing dwelling, east of the

Planning Application Review
July 3, 2024
PLANNING ACTION: PA -T1-2024-00238
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 292 Gresham Street
OWNER/APPLICANT: Rogue Planning and Development for Gresham House, LLC
DESCRIPTION: A request for Site Design Review for the development of three dwellings in
addition to the existing two dwellings. The proposal includes utility plans for extending public
infrastructure to serve the new dwelling units; two exceptions to street standards; and
proposed removal of four trees.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Multi -Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; MAP: 39 -1E -09 -CA;
TAX LOT: 5400
After a brief staff report explaining the details of the proposal, and a presentation by the
applicant's agent Amy Gunter of Rogue Planning & Development Services, LLC, HPAC
members discussed that the proposal noting:
• Emery noted that the property is not within the National Register of Historic Places -
listed Siskiyou Hargadine District but is at the southerly edge of the locally adopted
historic district. The property is non-contributing within the local district. Generally,
the historic homes in the vicinity are all downhill, including the Craftsman at 500 Holly
Street. It was further noted that there is an apartment complex adjacent and a trailer
court with RV parking nearby. Emery indicated that the project as proposed isn't
altering the Gresham streetscape and seems to fit the neighborhood, and that he had
no issues with the designs as proposed. Scharen concurred with Emery.
• HPAC discussed the windows on Cottage #4, questioning the clerestory -style window
placement over double -hung windows. Shostrom indicated he felt this worked as a
contemporary interpretation of the 1950's design of the existing home. Brouillard
questioned whether the windows could be treated similarly on Cottages #3 and #4.
Shostrom suggested that the windows on #4 worked to tie-in the first and second
stories.
• There was also discussion of having only one window on the north elevation of Cottage
#5 noting that this was both to avoid exposure to the adjacent unit and because the
electric meters and HVAC equipment was being placed on this north side.
• Shostrom noted that he felt the proposal was a great use of the site and indicated that
he liked the proposed cottages' contemporary take on 1950's design of the existing
home. Brouillard concurred.
• Skibby expressed some concern with plain metal roofing and indicated that grey or
darker standing seam metal to match the existing home would be preferrable.
Recommendation:
Shostrom/Skibby m/s to recommend approval: of this application as presented. Voice
vote: All AYES. Motion passed.

The ordinance criteria applicable to this application are attached to this notice. Oregon law states that failure to raise an
objection concerning this application, by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an
opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes your right of appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) on that issue.

criterion. Failure of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to proposed conditions of approval with
sufficient specificity to allow this Department to respond to the issue precludes an action for damages in circuit court.

1. There is a demonstrable difficulty meeting the specific requirements of the Site Development and Design Standards due to a
unique or unusual aspect of an existing structure or the proposed use of a site; and approval of the exception will not substantially
negatively impact adjacent properties; and approval of the exception is consistent with the stated purpose of the Site Development and
Resign; and the exception requested is the minimum which would alleviate the difficulty.; or
2. There is no demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements, but granting the exception will result in a design that
equally or better achieves the stated purpose of the Site Development and Design Standards.
PHYSICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS

B. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and implemented measures to mitigate the potential
hazards caused by the development.
C. That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more
seriously than reversible actions. The Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the surrounding area, and the
maximum development permitted by this ordinance.
TREE REMOVAL PERMIT (AMC 18.5.7.040.8)
Hazard Tree. A Hazard Tree Removal 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.
a. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard (i.e., likely to fall and injure
persons or property) or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure or facility, and such hazard or danger cannot
reasonably be alleviated by treatment, relocation, or pruning. See definition of hazard tree in part 18.6.

Constraints in part 18.10.
b. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees,
or existing windbreaks.
G. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 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 require that 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 impact on 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.

PROJECT PROPOSAL:
A request for Site Design Review to allow for the development of five multiple -family residential
dwellings on the low-density, multi -family residentially zoned (R-2) property at the northeast corner of
Gresham Street and Holly Street.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
The subject property consists of Lots 11 and 12, Block 50 of the Summit Addition to Ashland. The corner
lot is northeast of the Gresham Street and Holly Street intersections. The property is a 15,065 -square -
foot, .35 -acre lot. The lot has 132.38 feet of frontage on Gresham Street and 113.8 feet of frontage on
Holly Street.
The property is occupied by a 1,513 -square -foot single -story residence with a basement that was
constructed in 1956. There is a 618 -square -foot finished basement that is a studio dwelling unit (425
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 1 of 27
Holly Street). There is also a 338 -square -foot below -grade garage attached to the south side of the
structure.
There is a driveway apron and driveway area accessed from Gresham Street that provides access to the
entry of the residence at 292 Gresham Street. The driveway curb cut and parking pad area existed before
the purchase of the property by the current owner. The driveway area was improved through re -grading
and poured -in-place concrete walls vs, the stack -block that was there. A pergola structure was recently
added to provide interest on the facade and generate shade for the parking pad.
The basement -level garage is accessed from Holly Street by a narrow asphalt driveway on the east side
of the property.
The lot configuration considers Holly Street the front for the property setbacks be the definition of lot
lines and corresponding yard area/setback definitions and measurements. The existing structures
comply with setbacks.
The property is within the local Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District but falls outside of the National
Historic District Boundaries. According to the National Register nomination form the areas south of the
homes that front upon Iowa Street were developed largely in the 60s and 70s and not reflective of the
period of significance for the Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District.
The subject property is occupied by a single -story with a finished basement residence. The home is below
the grade of Gresham Street and as the property slopes downhill to the east, the structure sits above a
finished basement. There is a recessed entry with a covered porch area leading to the entrance.
The existing circa 1951, ranch -style residence has a low -pitch, single gable roofline that parallels
Gresham Street. The open soffit eaves have decorative corbels in the gable ends. The residence has a
brick base, horizontal siding, and historically appropriate, single -hung, vinyl windows. There are two
original windows in the bedrooms facing Holly Street above the below -grade garage.
At the rear of the residence, a 6 -foot by 23 -foot, 180 -square -foot deck is present. On the south side of
the residence, under a sloping roof is a below -grade garage.
There are approximately 1,500 square feet of parking, asphalt, and driveway areas.
The general topography of the property slopes gradually at eight percent from the south to north. On
the east side of the property, there is a steep drop to the grade of the adjacent property to the east.

There are several trees on the property or within the adjacent right-of-way. The trees include Ponderosa
pines, Oaks, Cork Oak, fir, spruce and cedar.
Gresham Street has a 60 -foot -wide right-of-way. Gresham Street is designated as an Avenue. Gresham
along the frontage of the property is improved with pavement curb and gutter. There are no sidewalks
on this portion of Gresham.
Holly Street is designated as a Neighborhood Collector Street and also a 60 -foot wide right-of-way. Holly
Street has also improved with curb and gutter. There are no landscape park rows or sidewalks on the
adjacent properties both abutting and across Gresham Street and Holly Streets. This is due to the
substantial grade of the public right of way, the steepness of the public streets, the steepness of the
adjacent undeveloped right of way, limited right of way, large stature trees, and utilities.

DETAILED PROPOSAL:
The request is to construct three new dwelling units in addition to the existing duplex within the
residence for a total of five residential dwellings.
There is a 1,513 -square -foot, three-bedroom, one -bath unit at 292 Gresham Street (Unit 1). Within the
basement and the converted screened porch area is a 618 -square -foot studio unit (Unit 2).
Unit 3 is proposed to be a 496 -square -foot basement addition to the south side of the existing, below -
grade garage. This one -bedroom, one -bath unit is setback 20 feet from the front property line (Holly
Street) and more than 10 feet from the Gresham Street side. The unit has a front entry facing Holly
Street, orienting the unit and its front entry to the front property line. This unit is a basement and does
not count in the maximum permitted floor area calculations.
Unit 4 is a 1,247 -square -foot, two-story, two-bedroom, 1.5 -bath unit. This structure is setback more than
40 feet from the Holly Street front property line and six feet from the east property line. This new
structure is on the north side of the property. A paved pathway leads from the unit to the parking area
on the Gresham Street side of the property.
Unit 5 is 989 square feet in area and is proposed as a single -story, two-bedroom, one -bath. This structure
is 12 feet north of the proposed Unit 4 and six feet from the east property line. The proposed structure
complies with solar setbacks for the property slope of -.08 percent downhill to the north and the
structure has an increased setback from the north property line because of this.
For density in the zone, the proposal conforms to the allowed density. The .35 -acre (15,056 square foot)
lot area allows for a base density of 4.7 dwelling units. (.35 X 13.5 = 4.67).
The existing residence, Unit 1, is one of the 4.7 units (1). Unit 2 is a studio unit (.75), Unit 3 is less than
500 SF (.75). Unit 4 is 1,247 SF (1) and Unit 5 is 989 SF (1) for a total of 4.5 dwellings.
The Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA) in the Historic District for the development of five (5)
dwelling units is (15,056 X .56 = 8425.76 X .46 = 3,875 SF). The proposed gross habitable floor area to
calculate MPFA is 3,749 SF. The floor area of Units 1, 4, and 5 is included in the MPFA calculations. Units
2 and 3 are basement areas and are not included in the MPFA calculations.
The proposed buildings are similar in architectural appearance and materials used on the properties in
the vicinity. The majority of the structures on the immediately adjacent properties were constructed
after 1950. The homes are a variety of vernacular construction, ranch houses, apartment complexes, and
various representations of 1950 -- 1970s architecture. The property to the northeast, across Gresham
Street, has a 1910 structure which is the oldest structure in the immediate area. There is not a distinct
historic development pattern on the adjacent properties.

292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 5 of 27
The siding direction, materials, overhangs, orientation, and scale are consistent with the neighborhood
development pattern. The proposed structures propose similar window sizes and openings as found in
the vicinity, similar roof pitch and orientation have been proposed.
The proposed additional units do not require vehicular parking areas. The surface parking adjacent to
Gresham Street is preexisting with no changes proposed. This surface parking is not modified as part of
this proposal. The existing garage space retains its functionality as a single -vehicle garage with the
existing driveway from Holly Street and back-up/turn-around area retained.
Bicycle Parking:
There are two bicycle parking spaces within the garage. A covered bike parking structure for eight bikes
is adjacent to Unit 4.
Trees:
There are several trees throughout the property. The trees have been assessed and the layout
intentionally preserves the majority of significant trees on or adjacent to the site. Two Oak trees will be
removed to accommodate the realignment of the driveway and construction of Unit 3.
There is a stature Ponderosa Pine tree and a smaller stature Oak tree that will be removed to provide a
development area for Unit 4.
The open spaces of the property that are outside of the setback areas where the large stature trees are
found are to remain in as natural of a state as possible in an attempt to retain the trees. There are lawn
areas to the west and north of the primary residence and proposed Unit 5 that will remain a level area
for the enjoyment of the tenants. Each unit will have an area that is directly adjacent to an entrance that
will provide private open space for the individual tenants.
Slopes:
The property within the hillside overlay zone is shown to have an area of steep slopes. There is a small
area that includes the area of slope identified as more than 25 percent and subject to Hillside
Development Standards. This sloped area is a remnant of the grading for yard area improvements and
site terracing and grading for the construction of the 1956 residence and the 1960s apartment complex
on the adjacent property to the east. There is a substantial slope adjacent to the retained cut from the
adjacent property construction along the east property line. Additionally, adjacent to the base of the 36 -
inch DBH pine tree, there are short terraces of landscape retaining walls. These areas appear as Hillside
Slopes and Severely Constrained land, but the areas are man-made and they should not be subject to
hillside development standards as they are not truly severely constrained and with the site development
will be altered. There is a large retaining wall from the construction of the adjacent apartment complex
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street

Page 6 of 27
on the property line that will have a more than six-foot setback and engineering oversight during
construction.
The small area of artificially created slopes that are by current codes considered 'u ndevelopable'. A slope
analysis was conducted that determined where the areas of severe constraints are located, and the
minor areas are not severely constrained and are artificial.
Public Infrastructure:
The proposal includes utility plans for the extension of public infrastructure to serve the proposed new
dwelling units. These include an extension of electric infrastructure and additional meters to service the
dwellings. Water meters, sanitary sewer connections, and stormwater connections that comply with the
Rogue Valley Stormwater Quality Design Manual standards are provided on plan sheets 02.01. The utility
extensions and connections were designed by civil engineers familiar with the complexities of developing
in constrained lot areas with trees and multiple dwelling units.
Two exceptions to the street standards have been requested herein. One exception is to not install park
rows and sidewalks along the property's Gresham Street frontage which is consistent with the street
pattern because of the physical constraints behind the curbline along all the Gresham Street frontage.
These include large -stature trees, utility lines, and topography. These factors create demonstrable
difficulties in meeting the standards and the requested exceptions are warranted and consistent with
the street development standards which seek improvement to the multi -modal transportation
alternative.
A six-foot curbside sidewalk is proposed along the Holly Street frontage where the Ashland Street
Standards require an eight -foot landscape parkrow and a six-foot sidewalk. The proposal is to install a
sidewalk that fits within the existing right of way of Holly Street and retains both of the large -stature
trees within the right of way. There is not a park row proposed. This requested exception to the street
standards with the development of the multi -family residential dwellings. This is due to the location of
large stature, unique trees, the lack of connectivity to any other sidewalk in the vicinity, and the steep
slope of the property at the intersection of Holly Street and Gresham Streets that prevents accessible
sidewalk development. There are limited sidewalks in the neighborhood and the adjacent property to
the east and across Holly Street to the west, there are no sidewalk connections.
Conclusion:
The requested approval of the site design review for the development of three new additional dwellings
upon the two-family dwelling property at 292 Gresham Street. The property is zoned multi -family
residential and contains an existing dwelling, moderate slopes, and large -stature trees. The proposal
provides for additional dwellings as envisioned in the zone and by the comprehensive plan designation
of the zone.

This low-density, multi -family, infill development is sensitive to the natural environment through the
retention of many of the existing trees. The proposed infill development provides ample private and
common outdoor areas for the tenants' enjoyment. The proposed new construction is cohesive with the
existing development pattern and building orientation in the neighborhood. The layout and design are
mindful of the historic standards, setbacks, and coverages, and are consistent with the scale of structures
in the vicinity. The proposal provides adequate infrastructure to service the proposed development and
provides for pedestrian improvements on Holly Street in a constrained right of way.

Multi Family Site Design Review
18.5.2.020
B. Residential Uses. Site design review applies to the following types of residential uses and project
proposals, pursuant to section 18.5.2.030, Review Procedures:
1. Three or more dwelling units on a lot in a residential zone, and one or more dwelling units on a lot in
any other nonresidential zone.
Finding:
There are more than three dwellings proposed on the residential lot.
Site Design Review Approval Criteria
1.8.5.2.050
A. Underlying Zone. The proposal complies with all of the applicable provisions of the underlying zone
(part 18.2), including but not limited to: building and yard setbacks, lot area and dimensions, density and
floor area, lot coverage, building height, building orientation, architecture, and other applicable standards.
Finding;
The property is within the R-2, Low Density Multi -Family Zone. The proposal will comply with all required
setbacks. The proposed lot coverage, density, building height, orientation, architecture and other
applicable standards for multi -family development have been met or can be met with the imposition of
conditions.
There are five (5) residential dwellings proposed on the property. For the purposes of density in the zone,
proposal conforms to the allowed density. The .35 -acre (15,246 square foot) lot area allows for a base
density of 4.7 dwelling units. (.35 X 13.5 = 4.7).
The existing residence, Unit 1, is one of the 4.7 units (1). Unit 2 is a studio unit (.75), Unit 3 is less than
500 SF (.75). Unit 4 is 1,247 SF (1) and Unit 5 is 989 SF (1) for a total of 4.5 dwellings.
The proposed structures comply with setbacks of the zoning district and the historic district additional
front yard setback requirements. Unit 4 has a 20 -foot front setback. unit 5 has a 30-x- foot setback. The
rear yard setback and the solar setback along the north property line met for Unit 5. The side yard
setbacks for Units 4 and 5 is at six feet, the minimum in the zone.
The is 12 -feet of separation between Units 4 and 5 and more than 12 -feet of separation between both
units and the primary structure.
The Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA) in the Historic District for the development of five (5)
dwelling units is (15,056 X .56 = 8425.76 X .46 = 3,875 SF). The proposed gross habitable floor area for
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street

Page 9 of 27
the purposes of calculating MPFA is 3,749 SF. The floor area of Units 1, 4 and 5 is included in the MPFA
calculations. Units 2 and 3 are basement areas and not included in the MPFA calculations.
The additional units do not require additional parking therefore, new vehicle parking area is not
proposed. The existing garage space, its back up and turn around area for that space and two surface
parking spaces accessed via the Gresham Street curbcut is retained.
The existing and proposed coverages have been scrutinized and the total lot coverage proposed is less
than 65 percent as allowed in the zone.

B. Overlay Zones, The proposal complies with applicable overlay zone requirements (part 1$.3).
Finding:
The property is within the Local Historic District boundaries but outside of the National District
Boundaries of the Siskiyou Hargadine Historic District. The National District nomination form notes that
the areas south of Iowa Street are not included because the development pattern is largely that since

Page 10 of 27
the 1970s have developed in a way that does not support the pattern or appearance of the area during
the historic period of development.
The proposed buildings utilize elements of historic design periods that are present in the district and on
the adjacent properties. The Design Standards are met with the new construction of units that are
complimentary to the mid-century modern aesthetic of the existing 1950 ---1970s aesthetic that is found
predominantly on the adjacent properties. There are a few historic homes but the majority of structures
in the impact area are reflective of their period of design and thus the reason the area is not in the
National Historic District.
18.4.2.050 Historic District Development
B. Historic District Design Standards.
The property is occupied by a non -historic, non-contributing, one-story three-bedroom residence.
The single -story ranch -style home is above a finished basement with an attached below -grade
garage. There are no modifications to the structure that alter it from its current exterior
improvements which include horizontal siding with a six-inch reveal.
The proposed new units can be found to be compatible with the existing structure.
Height: The proposed structures are similar to the average height of structures in the vicinity. The
proposed structures are substantially lower in height than the apartment complex on the adjacent
property. The only historic structures in the vicinity are across Gresham Street and a few
properties to the north on Iowa Street.
The addition to the garage on the downhill side of the residence with the unit that faces towards
Holly Street, Unit 3, the low -pitch roof, and the window style allow for substantial natural light
and provide a strong orientation to the street.
Unit 4 is a two-story, unit that has a low -pitch, gable roof that is similar in height to the two-story
structures in the vicinity. A single -story shed roof faces Holly Street reducing the massing of the
two story. A front entry faces Holly Street though the unit is more than 48 feet from the Holly
Street right of way.
Unit 5 is a single -story structure that is not more than 16 feet tall in average height.
Scale: The scale of the proposed structures is within the range of other multifamily dwellings in
the vicinity. The limited square footage of the structures at 496 square feet, 989 square feet, and
1,247 square feet is consistent with single-family residences in the vicinity as well.
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 11 of 27
Massing: The mass is broken through the use of compact development and compact footprints.
There are large windows orienting Unit 3 to Holly Street.
Through the incorporation of stepped ridges, traditional gable roofs, and low -pitch angular roof
forms similar to a traditional ranch, the structures all have massing that is lessened and consistent
with the neighborhood development pattern.
Unit 5 is a single -story structure that is most central to the property. This structure has an offset
gable roof.
Setback: The setbacks far new construction comply with the standards of the zone.
Roof: The proposed pitch on the new structures is the some pitch and roof style (gable and shed
roof) as the existing structures. Unit 3, the basement unit is attached to the existing 3:12 pitch
shed roof of the garage with a 2:12 pitch back towards the garage roof, creating a butterfly roof.
This low -stature structure is only 10'3" tall on the south exposure which is similar to the existing
structure pitch.
Unit 4 has a 3:12 pitch gable roof. This two-story structure's height and pitch are similar to the
various roof forms and pitches in the vicinity. The roof form is broken into a series of masses with
the single -story shed roof on the south side of the structure facing Holly Street.
Unit 5 is a single -story structure that is most central to the property. This structure has an offset
gable roof. One half has a 3:12 pitch and a 4:12 pitch.
Standing seam metal roofing is the preferred material type both far the type of roof pitch and for
longevity on apartment dwellings.
The rhythm of Openings: The units have a consistently spaced window pattern that is reflective of
the rhythm of openings found in more modern architecture that is located within this portion of
the Siskiyou-Hargadine local historic district. The windows are proposed as single -hung and
casement -style, vinyl windows. The replaced windows on the front residence are more consistent
with historic design standards and will improve the front elevation of the residence substantially.
The most historic home in the neighborhood is across Holly Street to the northwest.
Base or Platform: The structures show a slight concrete foundation stem wall that will be exposed
for 6 inches. This provides a sense of a base and makes the structure appear grounded. Brick base
treatment reflective of the primary dwelling on the site is proposed to provide a strong base.
Form: The form of the new structures is consistent with multi family dwelling development and is
sensitive to the aesthetic of the homes within the Siskyou-Hargadine Historic District. The units
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 12 of 27
have compact forms and utilize the topography of the site to reduce the visual impacts and the
mass. The low -pitch roofs and the similar window styles to the other homes in the area reduce
visual impacts.
Entrances: The primary residence facing Gresham Street has a clear entrance with a covered,
recessed front entry. There is a walkway from the right of way to the entrance.
The proposed addition to the garage side of the some structure and facing Holly Street, Unit 3,
has large windows to vastly improve the orientation of the structure to the front property line and
towards the public street. This structure is setback 20 feet from the street. There is a covered entry
facing the east towards the shared driveway/walkway. The large stature of deciduous trees
between the building and the street limits the visibility of the unit to Holy Street. Unit 4 is setback
more than 48 feet from the front property line. The covered front entry faces Holly Street.
Imitation: The proposed new structures have elements of the existing historic contributing
structures on the properties within the National District Boundaries and the historic homes in the
impact area. The proposed units are similar to but not identical to the existing 1950s structure on
the subject property and those in the vicinity. The proposal provides exteriors with more modern
material choices but elements of the past including brick fagade.
The 6 -inch cottage -style lap siding is the proposed siding material for the structures. The color will
match or be complementary.
Though there are a variety of housing styles in the vicinity. Ranch style and other 1950 —1970s
craftsman and American bungalow cottage style construction are the predominant styles found
throughout the Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District in the immediate area. The proposed new
units have elements of those design styles.
Garage Placement: The garage exists, no changes to the placement of the garage are proposed.
C. Site Development and Design Standards. The proposal complies with the applicable Site Development
and Design Standards of part 18.4, except as provided by subsection E, below.
18.4.2.030 Residential Development
Finding:
The proposed addition to the garage side of the same structure and facing Holly Street, Unit 3,
has large windows to vastly improve the orientation of the structure to the front property line
and towards the public street. This structure is setback 20 feet from the street. There is a covered
entry facing the east towards the shared driveway/walkway. The large stature of deciduous trees
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street

between the building and the street limits the visibility of the unit to Holy Street. Unit 4 front
entry faces Holly Street though it's more than 20 feet away.
No parking is between the buildings and the street that does not already exist and exited before
the purchase of the property (Gresham Street driveway).
The garage is accessed from the rear of the structure utilizing the existing driveway accessed
from Holly Street.
Building materials, colors, and designs are compatible with the other developments in the area
18.4.4.070 Open Space
A. Required Area.
Finding:
Eight percent of the total lot area, 1,219.7 square feet is required as open space areas. This infill
lot has large stature trees and an existing residence. The new units and the existing duplex have
substantial outdoor areas for use as open spaces. An area intended for private outdoor use by
residents of an individual dwelling unit. Private open space includes decks, patios, porches,
balconies, side and rear yards, and similar areas.
The site plan specifically depicts 240 square feet of open space area adjacent to each unit for a
total of 1,200 square feet of area. Additionally, there is a substantial 'lawn` and yard area
connecting the open spaces and surrounding structures that exceed the minimum standards.
These areas are around the large -stature trees, within the setbacks, and on areas that may
exceed five percent slopes. With more than 35 percent of the site in a permeable state, there is
ample open space for the tenants.

3. Upper -Floor Dwelling Units. Balconies shall be at least six feet deep and pleasuring at least 48
square feet. See definition of upper -floor dwelling unit in pati 18.6.
Finding.
Not applicable.
Tree Preservation, Protection, and Removal
18.4.5.030 Tree Protection: There are 16 trees greater than six inches in diameter at breast
height on the subject property. The utmost care was taken to preserve as many of the large -
stature trees onsite.
The proposal results in the removal of four trees. The remaining 12 trees are proposed to have
tree protection fending installed at the dripline (except within the existing surfaces or the
construction work areas). The Tree Protection and Preservation plan provides the details of the
six-foot fencing that will be installed before site disturbance for the new construction.
The trees along the north property line on the adjacent properties are protected by a six -foot -
tall boundary fence.
D. 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, and adequate transportation can and will be provided to the subject
property.
Finding:
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 18 of 27
The property is served by urban -level, public facilities. The proposal includes the extension of all
necessary services for the existing and future dwellings.
The proposed utility extensions are shown on Civil Engineering Sheets C2.01. Electric Service has been
discussed onsite with Rick Barton of Ashland Electric and an Electric Distribution Plan was devised.
The proposal does not increase the impervious surfaces by more than 5,000 SF over the existing site
coverage area. Therefore, stormwater retention, detention, and treatment requirements are not
triggered and the units connect directly to the city's approved storm drain system within Holly Street.
All units have sanitary sewer services connecting to Holly Street as it is downhill from the project site.
An exception to street standards is requested. See findings below.
E. Exception to the Site Development and Design Standards. The approval authority may approve
exceptions to the Site Development and Design Standards of part 18.4 if the circumstances in either
subsection 1, 2, or 3, below, are found to exist.
Finding:
Not applicable.
Street Standards Exception:
18.4.6.020.B. Exceptions and Variances. Requests to depart from the requirements of this chapter are
subject to chapter 18.5.5 Variances, except that deviations from section 18.4.6.040 Street Design
Standards are subject to 18.4.6.020.13.1 Exceptions to the Street Design Standards, below.
Finding:
A request to not install Avenue improvements to the existing Gresham Street right-of-way is requested
and to install a curbside, six-foot sidewalk (reduced near large stature Cork Oak) without parking along
Holly Street.
There are no landscape park rows or sidewalks on the adjacent properties both abutting and across
Gresham Street and Holly Streets. This is due to the grade of the public right of way behind the curb, and
the steepness of the public streets. Gresham Street has a six percent slope along the frontage of the
property with about a 20 percent slope behind the curb to the front property line. The Gresham Street
improvements are shifted east in the right of way and there is approximately six feet of right of way
behind the curbline.
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 19 of 27
Holly Street has a grade of nearly 18 percent along the frontage of the property. There is approximately
ten feet between the curb and the front property line on the Holly Street side. There is less grade behind
the curbline on Holly Street allowing for the curbside sidewalk.
Large -stature trees and significant public infrastructure exist within both right of ways and adjacent
development and lack of connectivity are the reasons for the requested exception to the street
standards.
1. Exception to the Street Design Standards. The approval authority may approve exceptions to
the standards section in 18.4.6.040 Street Design Standards if all of the following circumstances
are found to exist.
a. 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.
Finding:
There are topographical constraints that present difficulty in meeting the standards. The
topography along Gresham Street right of way, the large statue Spruce tree and Oak along
the east side of Gresham Street, and the lack of right of way, retaining walls, and mature
landscaping on the subject property and the adjacent property to the north are unique
circumstances that prevent the installation of the sidewalk. Additionally, the future
connectivity is extremely limited due to the adjacent property improvements, lack of right
of way, and that Gresham Street exceeds 28 percent just north of the subject site,
Holly Street has more right-of-way width and the grade adjacent to the curb is less steep.
The large stature of Spruce trees is setback further with the curbside sidewalk proposed,
there is adequate spacing to preserve the tree. The proposed sidewalk meanders around
the large stature Cork Oak tree in the right of way. The sidewalk would extend to the east
property line where the asphalt driveway apron of the subject property and adjacent
property is located.
There are electrical infrastructure utilities within the Holly Street right of way.
The grade change, utilities, and large stature trees present challenges to the construction
of a park row and sidewalk on the street frontage to the standards of an Avenue or a
Neighborhood Street.
b. The exception will result in equal or superior transportation facilities and connectivity
considering the following factors where applicable.
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 20 of 27
i. For transit facilities and related improvements, access, wait time, and ride
experience,
Finding:
No transit facilities are present in the neighborhood.
ii. For bicycle facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i.e., comfort level
of bicycling along the roadway), and frequency of conflicts with vehicle cross
traffic.
Finding:
The type of street proposed to be improvement is Holly Street, the neighborhood
street. The driveway serving the bike parking structure is accessed from Holly
Street.
iii. For pedestrian facilities, feeling of safety, quality of experience (i.e., comfort
level of walking along roadway), and ability to safety and efficiency crossing
roadway.
Finding:
The requested curbside sidewalks are proposed along the Holly Street frontage.
The right-of-way and pavement width of Holly Street is wide and allows for
curbside, on -street parking. The curbside sidewalk provides a pedestrian refuge
out of the travel lanes at the intersection, on the street that lacks connecting
sidewalks.
c. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty.
Finding:
The exception to the street standards for the curbside sidewalks is where topographical
and physical constraints are present. The requested sidewalk improvements on one
frontage are proportional to the development request. When considering the
neighborhood character, the steepness of the streets and the adjacent properties, and
the preservation of large -stature trees, the request herein is the minimum to alleviate the
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 21 of 27
difficulty in installing standard frontage improvements for an Avenue or a Neighborhood
Street.
d. The exception is consistent with the Purpose and Intent of the Street Standards in
subsection.
Fines:
The proposed exception is consistent with the purpose and provides a safe environment
for all users. The proposal for some sidewalks in a neighborhood where the is very limited
connectivity is consistent with the standards. The proposed layout is designed to
encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel.
Consistent with the standards, in certain situations where the physical features of the
land create severe constraints, exceptions may be made. Exceptions could result in the
construction of curbside sidewalk segments instead of setback walks. Exceptions should
be allowed when physical conditions exist that preclude the development of a public
street, or components of the street. Such conditions may include topography which is the
reason for the requested curbside sidewalk.
18.5.7.040 Tree Removal Permit Criteria
B. Tree Removal Permit.
2. Tree That is Not a Hazard. A Tree Removal Permit for a tree that is not a hazard 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.
a. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other
applicable Land Use Ordinance requirements and standards, including but not limited to
applicable Site Development and Design Standards in part 18.4 and Physical and Environmental
Constraints in part 18.3.10.
Finding
Three deciduous trees have a DBH of 12 inches or more that are proposed for removal and one
Pine tree has more than 18 inches DBH. These trees are within the area of the widened
driveway, and one of the new units. The tree removal permit is necessitated by the
construction of small -footprint, multi -family dwelling units within the setbacks and the allotted
coverage areas.
The design tried to accommodate the large stature pine tree but due to its size, lean, condition,
location, and fire hazard potential in a multi -family development surrounded by other multi -
Residential Site Design Review
292 Gresham Street
May 22, 2024
Page 22 of 27
family developments and single-family housing, the tree could not safely be pruned in a manner
to reduce fire hazards and/or protected in a manner that would not still have substantial
impacts to the root zone because of the way the lawn area is uphill and above the tree where
Unit 5 is proposed, there is no way to not have major impacts on this large stature tree.
There are three Oak trees proposed for removal. These trees are impacted by the necessary
repairs to the edge of the existing asphalt driveway, and the location of structures. There are
several black and cork oaks retained.
b. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow
of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks.
Finding:
The removal of the four trees will not have a significant impact on erosion, soil stability or
protection of adjacent trees. The trees are not part of any windbreak.
c. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes,
canopies, and species diversity within 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.
Finding:
There are three Oak trees proposed for removal and one Ponderosa Pine tree proposed for
removal. The removal of these trees will not have a significant impact on tree densities, sizes,
canopies, or species diversity. There are 12 larger -stature trees retained on the subject
property following the development. There are substantial numbers of deciduous trees within
200 feet of the property.
d. Nothing in this section shall require that 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 impact on trees, so long as the alternatives continue to comply with the other
provisions of this ordinance.
Finding:.
The tree removal facilitates the development of multiple -family housing as envisioned by the
zoning map and the Comprehensive Plan. The trees are not especially unique and are not in
excellent health. The Ponderosa Pine is the most substantial due to its size and there are fewer
due to intensification of previous years' droughts and the wildfire hazard reduction efforts
within the city and as a result of development. The Ponderosa has a lean over the adjacent
Residential Site Design Review

Page 23 of 27
apartment complex. Attempts were made to try and preserve the tree but due to its location
adjacent to a 6 -foot cut on the adjacent property and the terraces around the tree leading to
the irrigated lawn area above, the root zone of the Ponderosa Pine tree would be unavoidable
no matter where structures were proposed when considering the property line setbacks,
separation between building requirements, functional open space requirements, etc., that tree
requires removal due to its location and condition. There is no reason to alter the development
layout to preserve the Oak or Pine trees.
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.
Finding:
There are large stature existing trees upon the property frontage that shade the street and the
adjacent right of way, no new street trees are proposed. There are four mitigation trees in the
open spaces to mitigate for the removal of the trees. There are no conifers proposed for
mitigation.
The mitigation trees will be identified on the Final landscape and irrigation plans that will be
submitted with the building permit application.
