Designation ofClimate-Friendly Areas
What’s a climate-friendly areaand who’s required to designate them?
A climate-friendly area(CFA)is a neighborhoodwhere people can meet most of their daily needs without
being forced to drive. They are urban mixed-use areas that contain, or are planned to contain, a mixture of
housing, jobs, businesses, and services. These areas are served, or planned for service, by high quality
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure to provide frequent and convenient connections to key
destinations within the city and region.In most cases, climate-friendly areas will provide additional
opportunities for housing and employmentlocationsin
addition to currently zoned residential and employment
areas.
Certain citiesin Oregon’s seven largest metropolitan areas
outside of the Portland metropolitan area (Albany, Bend,
Corvallis, Eugene-Springfield, Grants Pass, Medford-
Ashland-Central Point, and Salem-Keizer) are required to
adopt zoning to enable this type of development. Cities
within the Portland metropolitan area will continue to
implement similar and previously-adopted programs.
What’s the purpose of the community engagement plans required for the
designation of climate-friendly areas?
To gathercommunity input on CFA studies and zoning, with an emphasis on reaching out to
underserved populations in order to identify and prioritize equitable outcomes.
To meet state and local public participation and equitable engagement requirements.
To help citiesevaluate the potential for displacement of underserved populations prior to the
designation and zoning of climate-friendly areas. Then, to helpcitiesidentify mitigation policies
concurrent withor prior to zoning climate-friendly areas,when necessaryto avoid displacement.
What is the process for designating climate-friendly areas?
The designation process for climate-friendly areas is divided into two phases:
1.Phase 1, CFA studies will identify potential CFAs and evaluatedevelopment standards that may
be applied within them. The studies must be prepared and submitted for review and comment no
later than December 31, 2023. The CFA study isnot a land use decision.
2.Phase 2, CFA locationsand development standards must be adopted. This phasebegins with a
decision of which of the studied areas will be climate-friendly areas.Cities are not limited to
considering only the potential CFAs identified in the study phase.Then citieswill likely need to
amend zoning in these areas to comply with applicable standards(“likely” because some cities
may currently have development standards that comply with CFA requirements). Additionally,
citiesmust adopt a climate-friendly element to their comprehensive plans. The second phase must
be completed by December 31, 2024, unless a time-extension request is approved.

For Phase1–completion of the CFA study–citieswill:
1.Develop a community engagement plan to be integrated throughoutboth phases.
2.Identify potential CFAs based on locational criteria. This will involve:
a)Evaluate downtown areas, planned or existing urban centers, neighborhood centers, transit
corridors, and similar areas;
b)Identifysignificant infrastructure bottlenecks that would impact the ability to realize more
intense development;
c)Determine if high-quality transit, bicycle, and pedestrian services are present, or may be
provided;
d)Look forsignificant natural hazards(floodplain, slopes, etc.) that could preventmore
intensedevelopment; and
e)Determine if potential CFAswould meet the minimum size requirements.
3.Evaluate existing development standards and the level of change needed.
4.Evaluate whether displacement of underserved populations would be likely to result from
designation of each CFA andidentify mitigation measures that couldprevent displacement.
(“Displacement” occurs when current residents are priced out of their current homes, often
through redevelopment and higher housing costs.)
5.Submitthe study containing the information identified above, by December 31, 2023.
Other Considerations for Phase 1:
Citieswith a population between 5,000 to 10,000 only needto designate one climate-friendly
area that is at least 25 acres.
Citieswith a population above 10,000 must designate climate-friendly areas sufficient in size
to accommodate at least 30% of identified current and future housing needs.
The size of CFAs for cities over 10,000 are based upon zoned residential building capacity.
Citiesmay designate one or many CFAs. Citiesover 10,000 need to demonstrate that the
CFAor CFAs cumulatively provide sufficient zoned residential building capacity to
accommodateat least 30% of the current and projected future housing needs.
Studies are submitted to the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development
(DLCD)for review andfeedback on the study.
CFA studies will be available for public review and comment concurrent with the DLCD’s
review (within 90 days of report submittal).
The studies arenot land use decisions and may not be appealed.
Overview of CFA Designation UpdatedDecember 6, 2022 Page 2
CFA studies will provide information regarding each of the CFA candidate areas to inform the
community’s decision-making process to determine which CFAs should be designated (see Table 2 below
for an example of what that might look like).
For Phase 2 – CFA zoning and comprehensive plan amendments – cities will:
1. Review and select CFAs, based on CFA study information, and guidance from the community.
2. Perform multi-modal gap analysis on transit, bicycle, and pedestrian services and infrastructure.
3. Complete a highway impact summary, if applicable.
4. Determine development standards for each CFA.
5. Adopt displacement mitigation policies if need.
6. Prepare development codes and a climate-friendly element to the comprehensive plan for
consideration and adoption through public hearings.
7. Conduct public hearings and adopt CFA zoning and comprehensive plan amendments.
Other Considerations for Phase 2:
Each city will use its own local process to decide which areas will be CFAs. The typical process
or processes will require changes to zoning maps, development code requirements, and
comprehensive plans.
Cities of 25,000 or more may designate some CFAs with less intensive development standards, if
they wish to.
CFA zoning includes:
o A variety of outright-permitted residential, commercial, service, and employment uses.
o May include abutting high-intensity residential or employment areas.
o Prioritization for locating public-serving facilities and the location of parks, plazas, and
open space areas. Where feasible, street trees and other landscaping should be provided
in CFAs.
o Block length standards that facilitate pedestrian connectivity.
o Development limitations are based on allowed building height and other site
development requirements rather than residential density limits.
o Reduced parking requirements.
Community engagement will center consideration of equitable outcomes for underserved
populations.
A highway impacts summary may need to determine potential traffic generation from CFAs
CFAs need to be designated prior to updating a Transportation System Plan

Table 2: Example of How a City Might Summarize Findings by Study Area for CFA Studies
Considerations Regarding CFA Candidate Area 1 – Downtown Planwell
Would CFA designation be consistent with prior or current planning efforts for this area?
Yes, the older portion contains a good mix of employment and residential uses, with an
abundance of on-street parking, and few parking lots. With downtown transit center,
connectivity to the hospital and other major employers is excellent.
Area (at least 25 acres required if primary CFA)
78 acres
Meets minimum 750 foot width with or without abutting parks, high density residential or
employment uses/zoning
Yes, the downtown meets this standard with or without abutting riverfront and other parkland.
Are there abutting high intensity residential or employment uses that could be included as part
of the CFA?
Abutting historic garden apartment residential neighborhood to the south has an average
residential density of 27 dwelling units/acre. The area is approximately 20 acres in size.
Are parks, plazas, or open space areas located within or near the CFA area? Does the Parks
Master Plan identify the need for parks or open space areas within or near the CFA?
The riverfront park extends for roughly one mile along the river frontage through downtown.
The park contains plazas, a water feature, play structures, a connected bike path, and lawn
areas for public recreation and enjoyment.
On the opposite side of the downtown, central park provides approximately four acres of
shaded lawns, play areas, and other public amenities.
Are public-servinggovernment facilities located within the CFA? Are there plans to locate such
facilities in the CFA in the future?
Yes, city hall and the county courthouse are both located within this CFA, along with some
additional government facilities.
Current status and feasibility of needed upgrades to pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities
and services?
No bike lanes on highway through downtown, but existing bike lanes on parallel collector
streets and sharrows on low speed downtown streets. Also bike path along river provides good
access.
Adequate sidewalks throughout downtown. On-street parking along many streetsbuffers
pedestrians on sidewalk.
Transit center is located in this area and within walking distance of the entire downtown.
Connected to all priority transit corridors.
Presence of identified hazard area, and degree to which hazard development requirements
could restrict CFA zoning?
Portion of downtown is located within 100-year floodplain. Development codeallows
development if base floor elevation is one foot above base flood elevation. Could remove this
area from CFA and meet area and dimensional standards.
If contiguous, but outside city limits and within UGB, can the area comply with OAR 660-012-
0310(e)(A) – (E)?
N/A – area is within city limits
Preliminary infrastructure evaluation – Any water, sewer, or stormwater impediments to CFA-
level of development that would be challenging to address beyond the scope of capital
improvement plans or improvements required with development?
Overview of CFA Designation Updated December 6, 2022 Page 5
Trunk sewer line to southeast portion of downtown would need to be upsized to accommodate
primary CFA development. Project is identified in Sewer Master Plan, tentatively scheduled for
improvement in Fiscal Year 27-28.
Is there the potential for the displacement of members of underserved groups that could result
from CFA designation?
Yes, the northwestportion of downtown contains a greater than average proportion of low-
income residents.
If yes to prior question, what are some potential mitigation strategies to avoid displacement
that would be feasible for Planwell to implement?
“Housing Planwell CDC” is planning a subsidized affordable housing development in the
northwestarea, with funding from OHCS and local construction excise tax revenues.
The city’s housing division administersa naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) no-
interest revolving loan fund that could be used to support the preservation of existing NOAH
housing in the CFA.
Are the current land use requirements in this study area close to the land use requirements
necessary to comply with OAR 660-012-0320 (either primary or secondary)?
Considering as primary CFA - Building height allowances would need to be raised 20 feet,
addition of minimum residential density requirements, and changes to on-site parking
requirements.
What is the preliminary estimate of the number of residential dwelling units that could be
accommodated in this area?
If primary CFA standard were adopted (per OAR If secondary CFA standards were adopted for one
660-012-0320(8)(a), (b), or (c); or (9)(a),(b), or (c)) of the lesser standards (optional)
Roughly 4,760 dwelling units (buildings to 85 feet)Roughly 3,430 dwelling units (buildings to 50 feet)

Chapter1:ClimateFriendlyAreaRegulationsandMethodology
Background
Introduction
Rogue Valley Council of Governments, in collaboration with the City of Ashlandand the project
consultant,3JConsultant, is conducting a study of potential Climate Friendly Areas (CFA) in accordance
with the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) rulemaking (OAR 660-012-0310). The State
ruleswere initiated by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) in response to
Governor Brown’s Executive Order 20-04 directing state agencies to take urgent action to meet
Oregon’s climate pollution reduction targets. The rules encourage climate-friendly development by
facilitating areas where residents, workers, and visitors can meet most of their daily needs without
having to drive. A CFA aims to contain a variety of housing, jobs, businesses, and services. A CFA also
supports alternative modes of transit by being in close proximity to high-quality pedestrian, bicycle, and
transportationinfrastructure.
Phase 1 of this project is the CFA study which identifies candidate CFAs and analyzes what zones are
most aligned to the CFEC rules, and what adjustments tothem would be required.
Phase 2 will encompass the actual designation of theClimate Friendly Areas under consideration,and
the adoption of maps and ordinances necessary to implement the CFEC initiative. Cities may use CFA
areas from the study or any other qualifying area.
Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities Rulemaking
The Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities rulemaking is part of Oregon’s longstanding effort to
reduce pollution from the transportation system, especially greenhouse gases that are causing a change
in climate and associated weather-related disruptions, including drought, wildfires, and warming
temperatures with greater variation overall.
The rules encourage climate-friendly development in Climate-Friendly Areas (CFAs). Other provisions of
the rulemaking call for new buildings to support the growing electric vehicle transformation, reduce or
eliminate one-size-fits-all parking mandates, and increase local planning requirements to address critical
gaps in our walking, biking, and transit networks. The rules ask communities to identify transportation
projects needed to meet our climate goals.

Climate Friendly Areas Overview
A CFA is an area where residents, workers, and visitors can meet most of their daily needs without
having to drive. They are urban mixed-use areas that contain, or are planned to contain, a greater mix
and supply of housing, jobs, businesses, and services.These areas are served, or planned to be served,
by high quality pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure to provide frequent, comfortable, and
convenient connections to key destinations within the city and region. CFAs typically do not require
large parking lots and are provided with abundant tree canopy.
A key component of Oregon’s plan to meet our climate pollution reduction and equity goals is
facilitating development of urban areas in which residents are less dependent on the single occupant
vehicle. Before the automobile became common in American life, cities grew more efficiently, with a
variety of uses in city centers and other areas that allowed for working, living, and shopping within a
walkable or transit accessible area.Over the last 100 years, the automobile and planning practices have
served to separate activities, creating greater inequities within cities and widespread dependence upon
climate-polluting vehicles to meet daily needs. CFAs will help to reverse these negative trends, with
some actions taking place in the short term, and others that will occur with development and
redevelopment over time.
The rules require cities (and some urbanized county areas) with a population over 5,000, and that are
located within Oregon’s seven metropolitan areas outside of the Portland metropolitan area, to adopt
regulations allowing walkable mixed-use development in defined areas within their urban growth
boundaries. Associated requirements will ensure high quality pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
infrastructure is available within these areas to provide convenient transportation options, and cities
and counties will prioritize them for location of government offices and parks, open space, and similar
amenities.
Implementation Timeline
The rules provide a two-phased process for local governments to first study potential CFAs, and then, in
a second phase, to adopt development standards for the area, or areas, that are most promising.
Key CFA Study Dates:
June 30, 2023 –CFA Study Funding Expires
December 31, 2023 –CFA Studies Due
December 31, 2024 –Adopt CFA land use standards and any map changes*
*Local governments may request an alternative date for the adoption of land use standards, as provided in OAR 660-012-
0012(4)(c).

Goals
The purpose of this studyis to identify candidate CFA areas that meet the size and locational criteria
required by OAR 660-012-0310(1). Relevant zoning codes will be reviewed, and suggestions will be made
regarding any changes that are necessary to bring zoning codes into compliance with CFEC rules. It is the
intention of the project management team that the candidate CFA selection prioritize community
context reflecting the most feasible zoning code changes, little to no infrastructure investment, and
alignment with citizen interests. The City of Ashlandmay move forward with the identified CFA area(s)
into Phase 2, or they can use what they learned from the study to choose a new area or areas for
adoption.

Methodology
The methodology was developed by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD)and
was adapted to perform thisCFA study. The Climate-Friendly Areas Methodology Guide goes over the
steps to perform the CFA study.The study goes through each of the eight steps highlighted in the
methodology guide, including locating and sizing CFA areas, evaluating existing code, identifying zoning
changes, calculating CFA Capacity and equity analysis. While the technical analysis team was responsible
for overseeing the steps reliant on GIS or analysis of the land use code, Step 1: Public Engagement Plan,
was drafted and prepared by 3J Consulting.
The diagram above shows a workflow for conducting a CFA study. This is not the only order in which the
Steps can be performed, but it is a recommended sequence for the purpose of clarity and efficiency.
Tounderstand the context of the steps listed above, a summary of the rules, a CFA’s purpose, and what
requirements should exist or be adopted in CFA areas is necessary. According to DLCD, "a CFA is an area
where residents, workers, and visitors can meet most of their daily needs without having to drive. They
are urban mixed-use areas that contain, or are planned to contain, a greater mix and supply of housing,
jobs, businesses, and services."
The following is a summary of the steps, rules, and regulations on the specifications of siting a CFA. The
CFA designationprocess first requires a study ofpotentialcandidate areas, ultimately ending in an
area(s) being designated as the City’s Climate Friendly Area. This process, slated to conclude by
December 2023, is known as phase 1.Phase 2: Adoption requires that cities implement the necessary
changes to the land use code to make the zones within the proposed CFA compliant with state
regulations, asprovided in OAR 660-012-0310 through -0320.

Community Engagement Plan
This step is planned, drafted, and prepared by 3J Consulting, in coordination with city staff and the
technical analysis team. While the Community Engagement deliverables are distinctly separate from the
technical CFA Study, this study does take into account the community feedback from public meetings
throughout the study phases.
Local governments must develop a community engagement plan for the designation of CFAs that
includes a process to study potential CFA areas and to later adopt associated amendments to the
comprehensive plan and zoning code following the provisions of OAR 660-012-0120 through -0130:
-making must be consistent with statewide planning goals and local
plans
levels of decision-making, consider the effect on underserved populations, work to reduce
historic and current inequities, and engage in additional outreach activities with underserved
populations
include the planning area and engage with affected tribes
The community engagement plan must be consistent with the requirements for engagement-focused
equity analysis in OAR 660-012-0135(3). Equity analysis is required for a variety of transportation

Locate and Size Candidate CFAs
Every potential CFA must follow theClimate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) rulemaking
(OAR 660-012-0310)requirements in order to be properly located and sized. Therules regarding
locationfor potential CFAs are universal for all cities.
TheCFECrules of OAR 660-012-0310that must be followed in theCFAlocation process are:
CFA locations must be able to support development consistent with the land use requirements
of OAR 660-012-0320.
CFAs must be located in existing or planned urban centers (including downtowns, neighborhood
centers, transit-served corridors, or similar districts).
CFAs must be served by (or planned to be served by) high quality pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
services.
CFAs may not be located in areas where development is prohibited.
CFAs may be located outside city limits but within a UGB following OAR 660-012-0310 (e).
CFAs must have a minimum width of 750 feet, including internal rights of way that may be
unzoned.
While the allowed land uses and denser environment will largely influence the choice of a CFA,
development feasibility is anotherimportant criterion to consider. The area chosen to be CFA should not
have infrastructure problems or limitations that could prevent the development of Climate Friendly
Areas.The infrastructure capacity of a candidate CFA will be discussed with city staff to determine if it is
a sufficient choice or to move forward with another candidate area.
City population is the primary determinant regarding CFAsizerequirements. There are two categories
for sizing a CFA: cities over 5,000 and cities over 10,000 in population. Ashland's population falls under
the second option for cities with populations greater than 10,000. Cities with a population greater than
10,000 must designate a minimum of one CFA thataccommodates 30% of their current and projected
housing, the overall area being at least 25 acres in size. In addition, all CFAs must have a minimum width
of 750 feet.

In discussing CFA requirements with city staff, the technical analysis team opted to utilize the
prescriptive standards as written by DLCD. The following table 1 shows the prescriptive standards
requirements that must be incorporated in the development code, in accordance with the City’s
population.
Table 1. Prescriptive Standards

Because the city of Ashland falls withinthe 5,001 –24,999category, phase 2 will require adoption of
rules for a minimum residential density of 15 dwelling units/net acre and a maximum building height of
no less than 50 ft in height.

Evaluate Existing Code
The land use requirements established in OAR 660-012-0320, as shown below, arepivotal in
determining how much a base zone alreadyalignswith CFA requirements.
Land Use Requirement for CFAs:
Development regulations for a CFA shall allow single-use and mixed-use development within
individual buildings or on development sites, including the following outright permitted uses:
o Multifamily Residential
o Attached Single-Family Residential
o Other Building Types that comply with minimum density requirements
o Office-type uses
o Non-auto dependent retail, services, and other commercial uses
o Child Care, schools, and other public uses
Maximum density limitationsmust be prohibited
Maximum block length standards must apply depending on acreage of site
Local governments shall establish maximum block length standards as follows:
o Development sites < 5.5 acres: maximum block length = 500 feet or less
o Development sites > 5.5 acres: maximum block length = 350 feet or less
Local governments shall prioritize locating government facilities that provide direct service to
the public within climate-friendly areas and shall prioritize locating parks, open space, plazas,
and similar public amenities in or near climate-friendly areas that do not contain sufficient
parks, open space, plazas, or similar public amenities.
Streetscape requirements in CFAs shall include street trees and other landscaping, where
feasible.
Local governments shall adopt policies and regulations in CFAs that implement the following:
o Transportation review process in OAR 660-012-0325
o Land use requirements in OAR 660-012-0330
o Parking requirements in OAR 660-012-0435
o Bicycle parking requirements in OAR 660-012-0630
Local governments may choose to either adopt density minimums and height maximums
(Option A–Prescriptive Standards) or adopt alternative development regulations to meet
performance standards (Option B–Outcome-Oriented Standards)

Identify Zoning Changes
Zoning in CFAs may need to change if the existing zoning does not meet the land use requirements in
OAR 660-012-0320. During phase 1 of the study, cities do not need to adopt the land use requirements,
but evaluation of necessary land use reforms may influence a base zone’s viability of being a potential
CFA candidate. Essentially, an existing zone that meets a large proportion of the CFA criteria will likely
feature the characteristics that define climate friendly areas, while zones that require intense reform
may not incentivize development due to lack of compatible land uses or alternative transit
infrastructure.
During the adoption phase, slated to occur in 2024, local governments will have to make and adopt all
necessary zoning changes and will need to provide DLCD with documentation that all adopted and
applicable land use requirements for CFAs are consistent with OAR 660-012-0320.
Calculate CFA Capacity
Theproposed CFA(s) must meet the residential housing capacity threshold expressed in OAR 660-012-
0315(1). The target threshold to meet is at least 30% of current and projected housing needs citywide.
The total number of unitsnecessary to meet all current and projected housing needs is derived from the
most recent adopted and acknowledged housing capacity analysis (HCA; also known as a housing needs
analysis or HNA) as follows:
Total number ofunits needed citywide
=
current number of existing units
+
projectednumber of units to meet future needs
After calculating the Total UnitsNeeded, the technical analysis team proceeded to calculate the
potential housing unit capacity of the proposed CFA site. The following page goes over the equation that
will be used to calculate the Housing Unit Capacity.

CalculateHousing Unit Capacity
The following method was adapted fromDLCD’s Climate-Friendly Areas methodology guide. The
calculation follows the prescriptive path requirements as described in the methodology guide. Total
Housing Unit Capacity in the CFA is estimated using the following variables:
1.The Net Developable Area in sq. ft.(a)
2.The maximum number of building floors(f)
3.The assumed percentage of residential use (r)
4.The average size of a housing unit in sq. ft. (s)
Using these, the housing unit capacity (U) in any part of a CFA can be given by a simple formula:
()
NetDevelopableAreaMaximumfloorsResidentusepercentage
()
HousingUnitCapacity=
Note: In the above formula, the results are roundedupto the nearest integer.
The values to use for Assumed Percentage of Residential Use (r) and Average Size of a Housing Unit (s)
are given in the rules. Net Developable Area and Maximum Building Floor factors in the above
calculation require some additional sub-calculations. Each uniquely zoned area of the CFA will have its
own calculations of these factors and the above housing unit formula. Then they aresummed for the
CFA to give the total Housing Unit Capacity.

Equity Analysis
Local governments must determine if rezoning the potential CFA would be likely to displace residents
who are members of state and federal protected classes and identify actions to mitigate or avoid
potential displacement.
The CFA Study must include plans for achieving fair and equitable housing outcomes within CFAs
following the provisions in OAR 660-008-0050(4)(a)-(f). CFA studies must include a description of how
cities will address each of the following factors:
Location of Housing: How the city is striving to meet statewide greenhouse gas emission
reduction goals by creating compact, mixed-use neighborhoods available to members of
state and federal protected classes.
Fair Housing: How the city is affirmatively furthering fair housing for all state and federal
protected classes.
Housing Choice: How the city is facilitating access to housing choice for communities of
color, low-income communities, people with disabilities, and other state and federal
protected classes.
Housing Options for residents Experiencing Homelessness: How the city is advocating
for and enabling the provision of housing options for residents experiencing
homelessness and how the city is partnering with other organizations to promote
services that are needed to create permanent supportive housing and other housing
options for residents experiencing homelessness.
Affordable Homeownership and affordable Rental Housing: How the city is supporting
and creating opportunities to encourage the production of affordable rental housing
and the opportunity for wealth creation via homeownership, primarily for state and
federal protected classes that have been disproportionately impacted by past housing
policies.
Gentrification, Displacement, AND Housing Stability: How the city is increasing housing
stability for residents and mitigating the impacts of gentrification, as well as the
economic and physical displacement of existing residents resulting from investment or
redevelopment.
Please note, the equity analysis was performed with the guidance of DLCD’s Anti-Displacement and
Gentrification Toolkit. The Toolkit provides an in-depth resource for local government to address racial
and ethnic equity in housing production, including a list of strategies to mitigate the impacts of
gentrification and displacement.The toolkit helps and guideslocal governments to establishing a
framework for creating housing production strategies with a particular focus on the unintended
consequences of those strategies.

Chapter2:CandidateClimateFriendlyAreaAnalysis
This sectionreviews the analysis components that were performed to derive the results of the study.
The technical analysis team began with initial candidate location suggestions from City Staff, then
calculatedthe housing capacity of the proposed CFAs boundary, and readjusting the CFAs size as needed
to accommodate the housing unit capacity.
Thezoning analysis focuses on the land userequirements in OAR 660-012-0320 and compares them
with the city codesto find suitable zones that are fully or partially compliant with the CFA land use
requirements. The zoning analysis informs the team of the land use compatibility of the proposed CFAs.
Zoning analysis and identifying zoning changes go hand-in-hand. If existing development standards do
not meet CFA requirements, then identify the necessary changesto the specific zones and how to bring
them into compliance with the land use requirements or OAR 660-012-0320.
The GIS analysis helps determine the status of transportation infrastructure that is within or around the
proposed CFA and whether the proposed area satisfies the transportation connectivity aspect of the
regulations. ACFA site must be served by, or planned to be served by, high quality pedestrian, bicycle,
and transit services according to OAR 660-012-0310.
Capacity analysis determines whether the potential CFA, or a combination of CFAs, can accommodate
30% of citywide current and projected housing need. If identified CFA candidate area(s) are not
sufficient to accommodate at least 30% of housing need, resizing the proposed CFA area or identifying
additional candidate CFA areasmust be performed.
Equity analysismust determine if rezoning the potential CFA would be likely to displace residents who
are members of state and federal protected classes and identify actions to mitigate or avoid potential
displacement.Chapter 2 of this study includes plans for achieving fair and equitable housing outcomes
within CFAs following the provisions in OAR 660-008-0050.
Overall, the analysis steps are intertwined with each other. Locating a CFA candidate, calculating
Housing Needs, Zoning analysis, GIS analysis, Capacity analysis are the steps to designate the
appropriate CFA area within the city.

City staff have highlighted several priority CFA candidates, shown in Map 2below. Staff selected these
areas not only for their designated zoning’s alignment to the CFA requirements, but also factored in
development potential. The Croman Mill and Railroad Property sites are largely undeveloped and
present strong cases for rapid CFA-related changes. The Transit Triangle is one of the priority CFA
options within the city andhas the potential to be improved through redevelopment and development
of vacant properties. The prior approval of the Transit Triangle code amendments are largelycompatible
with CFA, as such this transit served area has considerable redevelopment potential supporting the CFA
goals. Conversely, the Downtown area is largely built out, is a National Register Historic District,
indicating barriersto potential redevelopment. However, the current built environment is similar to
what is expected of CFAs and the C1-D (downtown Commercial) zone could be adapted to comply with
CFA guidelines with little trouble and may serve as useful tracts for CFA expansion in the future.

Calculate Housing Units Needed
As outlined in the methodology guide, the proposed CFA(s) must meet the residential housing capacity
threshold expressed in OAR 660-012-0315(1). The threshold to meet is that the cumulative capacity of
the CFA(s) is at least 30% of current and projected housing needs citywide. And this is derived by the
following formula:
Total number ofunits needed citywide
=
current number of existing units
+
projectednumber of units to meet future needs
The most recent Housing Capacity Analysis for the City of Ashland was published in May of 2021 and
projects housing needs and trends out to 2041. This analysis estimates there are currently 10,705
dwellings in the city, with a projected need of 858 units more by 2041.
10,705 + 858 = 11,563 projected housing unitsneeded by 2041
Basedon these estimates, the city of Ashland will need to locate and size CFA(s) that encapsulate 30% of
11,563 dwellings, or 3,469 units.

Zoning Code Review
Existing zoning codes were compared to the CFA requirements to identify those zones that are most
closely aligned with CFEC rules. Shown in Table 2 below, zones were scored for each criterion with 2
points for fullcompliance, 1 point for conditional or mixed compliance. Zones also earned 1 additional
pointforhaving40-foot building height maximums,whilezones thathave 35-foot maximumsearned no
additional points.Green cells are those in compliance. Yellow cells are those that have partial or
conditional compliance or are closer to the 50-foot building height maximum,and overall are closer to
compliance than other options.
Any zone can be adjusted to be made CFEC-compliant, so CFAs are possible anywhere in the city, but
those zones that would take more legislative changes and create more dramatic changes to the built
environment relative to what is currently in the areaare not prioritized.
The Croman Mill site was master planned in 2008 and this document includes several subzones that are
analyzed in Table 3. Much of the area is currently planned for non-residential uses, but City staff have
informed the RVCOG team that theproperty owner is presently working with a developer, TownMakers
LLC, to re-envision the area and propose major plan amendments which would newly incorporate
residential development throughout the area. While each subzone was scored individually, for the
purpose of analyzing prospective zoning changes the entire site has been attributed the attributes and
scores of the Mixed-Use subzone.
The Transit Triangle Overlaywas also analyzed for its impact on relevant base zones and their CFA
suitability.
Overall, the scoring matrix indicates the suitability of the zones regarding the land use requirements.
However,the scores are only the first step of the analysis and the results they produce areonly one
factor amongseveral thatthe studyanalyzes.Therefore, a high scoring zone alone does not determine a
CFA candidate area. The location of the zones and surrounding transportation infrastructure must be
nd
factored in the 2step of the study.

CommerciaDowntown–Central Business District
The Downtown Commercial District is
Ashland’s Central Business District
(CBD), and is the city’s nexus for
employment, services, and
transportation. It is more suitable as a
CFA than most other zones because it
already has conditional building height
maximums of 55ft and permits mixed
uses, government facilities, parks, open
space, and other similar public
amenitiesoutright.The residential
density is currently 60 dwellings per
acre, yet there are no minimum density
requirements. To meet the full CFA
requirementsin this area, Ashland
would need to mandate a minimum
density of at least 15 dwelling
units/acre, remove the density
maximum, and permit outright building
heights of 50 feet or more.
Commercial -Employment
The E-1 zone allows for a significant
cross section of CFA requirements, but
there are several uses like multi-family
and single-family attached residential,
and schools that would need to be
permitted outrightto qualify as a CFA.
Within a designated CFA, parks and
open space also need to be allowed,
residential density minimums
established, and density maximums
prohibited. Like other Ashland zones,
building height maximums would also
need to be raisedfrom a 40’ height to
50’. E-1 zoned properties arealso

Other Residential Zones (R-1, R-1-3.5,R-2,RR, WR)
The lower-density residential zones share a lot in common with each other. They allow single-and
mixed-uses and parks. They all partially or conditionally allow single-family attached, childcare, and
schools. All except for R-2 do not currently allow office or non-auto retail/service/commercial uses. With
the exception of R-2, these lower-density residential zones do not have density minimumsexcept when
brought into the City through annexation or as a zone change. The R-2 zone requires a minimum density
of 80% the base density. Theseresidential zones havemaximum building heights of35 ft.
Despite their low scores in our analysis, like all zones, these can be made compliant with CFEC rules with
certain changes. All office, non-auto retail/service/commercial, childcare, schools, and civic uses would
need to be permitted outrightmaking these areas similar to Ashland’s commercial zones. To be
designated as qualified CFAs density minimums of 15 dwelling units per acres would need to be
established andenforceddensity maximums must be prohibitedand building height maximums would
have to be raised to a minimum of 50 ft.
Other Commercialand IndustrialZones (C-1, M-1)
C-1 and M-1 zones both score very well in our analysis, but there are other factors that have left them as
lower priorities. C-1 scored essentially the same as C-1-D and it would need the same changes to
become CFA-ready. The C-1-D receives preference because it encompasses the part of thecity with the
highest density of jobs and built housing potential, but the adjacent C-1 areas would make good
candidates to expand the CFA geographically if needed. C-1 also features prominently in the Transit
Triangle Overlay, which is discussed in the next section.
The M-1 zone scored fairly well in our analysis, but it is not prioritized because industrial uses are not as
easily relocated as other uses and the goal of the CFA project is to avoid creating undue burdens on the
local economy. Additionally, industrial uses do not coexist with residential uses the same way that
commercial uses do. That being said, if a portion of the M-1 zone is required to form the ideal CFA form,
non-auto retail/services/commercial and schools will need to be permitted outright. Multi-family and
single-family attached residential must be permitted along with parks and open space. Density
minimums of 15 dwelling units or more must be created and building height maximums need to be
raised to 50 ft. Density maximums would have to be prohibited, as well.

The Transit Triangle Overlay (TTO) is intended to diversify the mix of housing and business types along
major transit routes. Table 4 above shows that the overlay enhances the C-1 and E-1 zones within the
TTO and significantly improves their scores in our analysis. However, for the TTO, multi-family
residential uses are permitted only for rental and not for purchase. The main improvements to the C-1
and E-1 zones are the increased building height maximums, density minimums, and parks/open space.
Within the TTO, the C-1 and E-1 zones have excellent scores and are some of the best candidate areas
for CFA locations.

currently in compliance with CFEC rules, but Tables 2 and 3show that the Croman Mill, Residential –

closest. Small changes to permitted uses and the building height maximum would bring most into

maintaining its existing uses, thereby making it more compatible with CFA requirements.
In contrast, the historic Downtown area is already extensively developed, posing a challenge for
potential redevelopment. Despite this, its current built environment closely resembles what is
envisioned for CFAs. With some adjustments, it could be brought in line with CFA guidelines without
significant difficulty. As such, it could serve as a valuable location for potential CFA expansion in the
future.

The Croman Mill site is approximately 92Acres in the
southeastern corner of the city (Image 1). It is served by
Siskiyou Blvd. at the south end and Mistletoe Rd. in the
north. A master plan for the site was adopted in 2008, but
development has yet to occur (Image 2). The plan calls for
office and industrial uses for most of the site. Also, there is
residential center and mixed-use zones allowed within the
Croman Mill site.
The Croman Mill site is viewed as an excellent CFA location
due to its redevelopment potential, large size, and
proximity to quality transit service and bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure.

Railroad Property
The Railroad Property site is 57 Acres in the center of the
city, just a few blocks north of downtown (Image 3). The
site rests between the rail line and E Hersey St. The
northern half of the site is developed with commercial,
and employment uses, but the majority of the southern
portion of the site is undeveloped.
The 2001 master plan for the site shows a pedestrian-

CalculateHousing Unit Capacity
This method was adapted from theDLCD Climate-Friendly Areas Methods Guide. The calculation follows
the prescriptive path describedin the methods guide. Total Housing Unit Capacity in CFA is estimated
using the following variables:
The Net Developable Area in sq. ft. (a)
The maximum number of building floors(f)
The assumed percentage of residential use (r)
The average size of a housing unit in sq. ft. (s)
Using these, the housing unit capacity (U) in any part of a CFA can be given by a simple formula:
()
NetDevelopableAreaMaximumfloorsResidentusepercentage
()
HousingUnitCapacity=
Note: In the above formula, the results are rounded to the nearest integer.
Net Developable Area and Maximum Building Floor factors in the above calculation requires some
additional sub-calculations. The values to use for Assumed Percentage of Residential Use (r) and Average
Size of a Housing Unit (s) are given in the rules.
Each uniquely zoned area of the CFA will have its own calculations of these factors and the above
housing unit formula. Then they are summed for the CFA area to give the total Housing Unit Capacity.

Evaluation
Assumptions
Both the Croman Mill District and Railroad Property sites have significant development opportunities,
and while they are master planned, specific lots have not been identified. Additionally, while ongoing
master planning efforts are underway (Croman Mill District revisions), there are several changes being
worked on at the moment that could significantly affect the layout of these sites, the details of which
will not be available for some time. Therefore, it is prudent to use city standards to determine gross and
net block areas. The Right-of-Way (ROW) setaside is 20%,as that is the DLCD standard. Weuse the
street network plans when available to measure out the undevelopable area and subtract it from the
overall area. The same standards will be applied for the Transit Triangle area to calculate the housing
capacity of the site.
These calculations are based on the block level and donot count for interior lot setbacks. All sites are
within 0.5 miles of a frequent transit corridor according to OAR 660-012-0440, and parking minimums
cannot be mandated within this area. Values shown below may differ slightly from actual values due to
rounding.
Note that 30% of projected needed housing for the city is 3,469.

28% more than the required 30% of projected needed housing units. Please note that this calculation

because different zones allow for different building heights, within the Croman Mill site .
The cumulative housing unit capacity across the site results in atotal of 5,142 dwellings. Despite this
capacity based on maximum building size, minimum unit size, and maximum lot coverage, City Staff
anticipates that the more realistic development scenario would be closer to the minimum residential
density of 15 dwellings per acre, rather than the maximum calculated feasibility ofup to 80 units per
acre. Thus, utilizing 15 units per acre across the 65net developableacresof the Croman Mill District
would lead to a more limitedcapacity of 975 dwellings. In assessing the designated CFA sites, City Staff
would aim to ensure that the 3,469 dwelling units required within CFAs are achievable at the minimum
residential density required, rather than the maximum density achievable.

Conclusion
The Croman Mill and Transit Triangle sites both can provide ample room for CFA development to fulfill
the requirement of the CFEC rules for 30% of projected needed housing units. The specific boundaries
that have been analyzed could change in a variety of minor ways without bringing the unit count below
the necessary threshold.
The Railroad property falls short in covering 30% of the Projected Needed Housing for the city.In any
case, resizing the boundary could help increase the housing capacity of the site and bring it closer to
compliance with the 30% requirement of the CFEC, or best-case scenario it will bring the railroad
property to a full compliance with the 30% requirement of the CFEC.
The downtown area has been included in this discussion because it remains relevant to the CFA
transformation and may end up included in a broad CFA overlay that encompasses the major
employment, commercial, and higher-density residential areas of the city,even if it is not needed to
meet the housing requirement.
Overall, the city of Ashland does have a few options when designating a CFA site. The site will need to be
fully compliant with the CFEC land use regulations, and most of the sites do not need major updates to
bring them up to compliancewith the CFEC regulations. BothTransit Triangle and Croman Mill sites are
compatible with the 30% projected needed housing in the city. However, the railroad property does not
have the capacity to host the full 30% of the projected needed housing, but it could act as a secondary
CFA and as a safety buffer for the projected housing units for the primary CFA(s). City Staff highlights
that if the potential CFA candidate areas, namely the Croman Mill District, the Transit Triangle Overlay
area, and the Railroad site, are individually developed to meet the minimum density requirement set for
designated CFAs (which is15 units per acre), their combined residential development capacity even at
this minimum would successfully meet the CFA mandate of accommodating a minimum of 30% of
Ashland's housing demands.

CFARedevelopmentOutcomes
Due to the nature of the regulations, an area designated as a climate friendly area gains the capability to
be redeveloped for a wide variety of uses and dense housing types. While these factors intend to
promote nodes not reliant on personal automobile use, they also have the capability of creating
modernized, attractive, and competitively priced developments which can subsequently displace
protected classes. This trend, known as gentrification, can become acomponent of a climate friendly
areas if cities do not carefully analyze a CFA’s location and consider proper phase 2 protections to
ensure the developments remains accessible to all populations.
Anti-DisplacementMapAnalysis
Recognizing this potential threat, DLCD has prepared an anti-displacement guide. This guideclassifies
areas by neighborhood type which are characterized by their income profile, vulnerable classes, amount
of precarious housing, housing market activity, and overall neighborhood demographic change. Each
area is identified through the DLCD anti-displacement map, which can be found here: Anti-Displacement
Map
Each neighborhood type is categorized as one of the following:
The tract is identified as a low-income tract, which indicates a neighborhood has lower median
household income and whose residents are predominantly low-income compared to the city average.
The neighborhood also includes precariously housed populations with vulnerability to gentrification and
displacement. However, housing market in the neighborhood is still stable with no substantial activities
yet. At this stage, the demographic change is not under consideration.
This type of neighborhood represents the early phase in the gentrification. The neighborhood is
categorized as a low-income tract having vulnerable people and precarious housing. The tract has a hot
housing market, yet no considerable changes are found in demographics related to gentrification.
Theseneighborhoods are identified as low-income tracts with a highshare of vulnerable people and
precarious housing. The tracts are experiencing substantial changes in housing price or having relatively
high housing costsfound in their housing markets. They exhibit gentrification-related demographic
change. The latter three neighborhoods on the table are designated as high-income tracts. They have
hot housing market as they have higher rent and home value with higher appreciation rates than the
city average. They also do not have precarious housing anymore. However, Late Gentrification type still
has vulnerable people with experiences in gentrification related demographic changes.

This type of neighborhood does not have predominantly low-income households, but still have
vulnerable population to gentrification. Their housing market exhibits highhousing prices with high
appreciations as they have relatively low share of precarious housing. The neighborhoodhas
experienced significant changes in demographics related to gentrification.
The neighborhoods are categorized as high-income tracts. Their population is no longer vulnerable to
gentrification. Precarious housing is not found in the neighborhoods. However, the neighborhoods are
still experiencing demographic change related to gentrification with hot housing market activities.
The neighborhoods are identified as high-income tracts. They have no vulnerable populations and no
precarious housing. Their housing market has higher home value and rent compared to the city average,
while their appreciation is relatively slower than the city average. No considerable demographic change
is found in the neighborhoods.
The unassigned tracts have not experienced any remarkable changes in demographics or housing
markets. The neighborhood has been stable with unnoticeable change, yet this does not necessarily
mean that there is no need for extra care compared to other neighborhoods with assigned types.
Planners need to engage with the communities to make sure the neighborhood is stable while aligning
with community needs and desires.

SuggestedStrategies
It is important to note that the while the project’s scope of work directly referenced DLCD’s housing
production strategies (HPS) as a component of the anti-displacement analysis, the City of Ashland has an
approvedHousing Production Strategy report which satisfies DLCDs requirements and aims to ensure
sustainable and equitable residential development within the city. Because the housing production
rd
study was put out for public comment on May 23, 2023, the technical analysisin this reportutilized
DLCD’sHPS for the purposes of the Climate Friendly Area analysis. Nonetheless, the technical analysis
team recommends use of the in-depth HPS report produced by the City of Ashland for phase 2 of the
CFA study.
Referring to DLCD’s housing productions strategies, which can be found here, RVCOG has identified the
following strategies to ensure that a climate friendly areas acts as an equitable community. In selecting
strategies RVCOG prioritized strategies color coded as green for the Late Gentrification neighborhood
type for their likeliness to generate little to no adverse impact, factoring in local context and feasibility
as well.
A03: Density or height bonuses for affordable housing.
Cities could consider introducing a height and density bonus for developments which introduce units
between 30% -120% of the average median income (AMI). RVCOG suggests using the CFA thresholds as
a potential model for such bonuses, in the case of Ashlandpotentially allowing an increased 10 feet of
maximum height and additional 5 dwellingsper acre. City Staff notes that Ashland presently allows an
affordable housing density bonus of up totwo market rate units for every qualifying affordable housing
unit provided, accommodating up to a 35% increase in residential density.
A07: Single Room Occupancy
Single room units, such as junior accessory dwelling units, present a new housing typology not
commonly considered among residential zones. Enabling this use as a permitted accessory component
of a multi-unit development could provide developers with the opportunity to provide unique housing
arrangements and a variety of units at different price points. (New State Law)
A14: Re-examine Mandated Ground Floor Use
The City of Bend has determined that while lively streetscape in a dense environment is a worthy goal,
mandating that ground floors be occupied by commercial uses when the surrounding market forces
can’t support such a use can contribute to decreased development or loss of area for dwellings. City
Staff notes that HB 2984, passed in the 2023 State Legislative Session, allows the conversion of buildings
from commercial use to housing without a zone change or conditional-use permit. It prohibits local
governments from requiring more parking and limits collection of system development charges. This
statewide legislation effectively allows residential ground floor use within commercial buildings.
CFA STUDY City of Ashland 43| Page
Rogue ValleyCouncil of Governments
B10: Public Facility Planning
Factoring that some of the proposed CFA sites are largely vacant, assisting in providing public facilities
could make these sites more attractive for development. Furthermore, assisting in providing public
facilities may enable the city to prioritize key connections or better plan for expansion in the future.
B07: Flexible Regulatory Concessions for Affordable Housing
Considering that cities within the 10,000-24,999population rangeare in one of the lower ranges for
prescriptive CFA standards, enabling affordable housing to move into some of the upper thresholds
could present a unique advantage further attract affordable housing. Furthermore, this strategy enables
a CFA to evolve directly in response to its City’s population growth, possibly resulting in a CFA pre-
emptively meeting the next threshold’s requirements.
B19: Survey Applicant on Development Program Decision-Making
User feedback can help illustrate frustrations or pitfalls in the planning process not seen by staff.
Utilizing a survey as litmus test for ease of development within a CFA can serve as an assetnot only to
the CFA, but the City’s Planning department as a whole. City Staff notes that in February 2023 the City
Community Development Department surveyed all individuals that obtained a Planning Permit, or
Building Permit, from 2018-2022. The City is in the process of establishing a Development Process
Management Advisory Committee made up developers, builders, architects, and private planners, to
assist in reviewing the survey and to recommend areas to improve the permitting process and reduce
barriers to the development of needed housing.
C01: Reduce or exempt System Development Charges (SDCs) for needed housing.
SDC’s are often seen as necessary yet prohibitive cost associated with new development. Granting
exemptions for needed dense and affordable housing helps clear the way for development, while
commercial developers seeking to capitalize on attractive areas by constructing recreational or tourism
oriented, or general luxury developmentscan bear a larger part of the burdenwhen it comes to needed
infrastructural growth. City Staff notes that Ashland presently waives all SDCs for qualified affordable
housing.
C04: Incentivize Manufactured and Modular Housing.
Manufactured and modular housing could be a popular option in vacant CFA areas as it can be
constructed for less cost and added on to as a larger population occupies the CFA. Modular housing also
supports homeownershiprather rented housing, a notion that could ensure a CFA acts as equitable
community for permanent residents and doesn’t become an area merely for vacation rentals. City Staff
notes the City’s adopted Housing Production Strategy includes a strategic action to create a
Manufactured Park Zone to preserve existing parks and potentially identify opportunities for additional
manufactured home parks. Manufactured and Modular housing are presently permitted outright on
CFA STUDY City of Ashland 44| Page
Rogue ValleyCouncil of Governments
individual residentially zoned lots within the City with the exception of designated National Register
Historic Districts.
D02:Low Income HousingTax Credit (LIHTC).
Federal tax credits represent an external opportunity for an affordable housing development to feasibly
occur within a city. Disclaiming these opportunities to developers comes at little cost to the city, and can
facilitate mixed income housing that contributes to a more diverse set of demographics within a CFA.
D09: Demolition Taxes
A demolition tax can ensure that new development within a CFA introduces a greater density than the
existing structure or be forced to be pay a tax to fund a housing trust fund. Demolition taxes help
mitigate the effects of higher density, aging housing being replaced by lower density, newer, market-
rate homes, whichcould occur if the CFA is sited in a more historic area of a community, or the
introduction of the CFA regulation induces more affluent populations seeking proximityto mixed uses.
D09: Construction Excise Tax
Seeing as the CFA’s are located on vacant land, a construction excise tax (CET) seems to be an apt
solution to ensure development of a CFA accrues funds for affordable housing projects both within the
CFA and elsewhere.City Staff notes the City’s adopted Housing Production Strategy includes a strategic
action to evaluate establishing a CET to support affordable housing development within the community.
E03: Vertical Housing Development Zone Tax Abatement
This housing production strategy authorized ORS 307.841 directly aligns with the live work environment
that’s meant to appear within CFA’s and is natural candidate to assist in mixed use development. The
effectiveness of this strategy could be somewhat bound by a CFA’s respective height limits but coupled
with affordable housing density bonuses could be quite effective. City Staff notes that Ashland
presently established a Vertical Housing Development Zone to correspond with the Transit Triangle
Overlay rea. As this Transit Triangle area is a candidate for a CFA, this strategy is in already place within
one of the potential CFA areas under consideration.
E04 & E05: Multiple Unit Tax Exemptions (Property and Limited taxes)
Similar to the Vertical Housing Tax Abatement, the multiple unit tax exemptions could serve as a
symbiotic strategy to the type of development intended to occur within a CFA. Whether this strategy
seeks to aid in overall feasibility by being a long-term exemption or aid in the initial
E10: Delayed tax Exemptions
Delayed tax exemptions can be seen as a viable strategy to allow new development recoup construction
costs and establish a profitable base before falling below 80% AMI. This strategy could benefit initial
CFA STUDY City of Ashland 45| Page
Rogue ValleyCouncil of Governments
developments in CFA’s, and later assist them in serving a new economic bracket when the area becomes
more developed.
F17: Designated Affordable Housing Sites
Designating CFA’s partly or entirely as affordable housing sites can ensure the best use of the land in the
future. While price control measures may ward off developers initially, highlighting tax exemptions and
streamlined planning process coupled with the relative newness of the CFA regulations may highlight
these areas as feasible location for affordable housing.
F19: Affordable Housing Preservation Inventory
Identifying and inventorying areas currently hosting affordable housing enables staff to examine what
contextual factors have led them to appear in their community, and informs areas to proceed with
caution when expanding the CFA.
City staff are encouraged to review and evaluate the list of strategies when it comes time for phase 2
zoning reform.
City Staff emphasizes that the strategic actions outlined in the approved Ashland Housing Production
Strategies will be evaluatedin the context of identifying and implementing Climate Friendly Areas
(CFAs). AnewCFA land use designationwould becrafted with the primary goal of encouraging the
development of transit supported mixed-use, higher-density environments that actively diminish the
dependence on fossil fuels. The evaluation process will pay particular attention to addressing the
potential displacement of existing affordable housing within any designatedCFAarea while
simultaneously seizing the opportunities to foster necessary housing options within the designated
areas. This comprehensive approach underscores the city's commitment to both sustainable urban
development and the preservation of affordable housing for its residents.

The City of Ashland is an entitlement jurisdiction, receiving an annual allocation of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City is required to prepare a five-year strategic plan that
identifies housing and community needs, prioritizes these needs, identifies resources to address the
needs, and establishes annual goals and objectives to meet the identified needs. This five-year plan is
known as the Consolidated Plan.
The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to outline a strategy for the City to follow in using CDBG

specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority
activities identified.
In April of 2021, the City of Ashland adopted the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2020-2024). Five Goals
are identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The goals are not ranked in order of importance;
however, some have a higher priority than others.
The assessment provided in this CAPER covers the 2023 Program year (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024).
For the 2023 Program year the City continued to support several activities which had been supported
in previous years. These activities continue to provide supportive services to some of the most
vulnerable populations in the City while also meeting the goals of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
Affordable and Workforce Housing
In the five-year strategic plan, the City identified several numerical goals for the creation, preservation,
and maintenance of new and existing housing units to be occupied by low-income households. Since
the adoption of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan the City has not any new regulated affordable housing
units targeted to low-income populations and deed restricted for long term affordability through the
In Program Year 2022 the City did not add any new deed restricted affordable
ownership units either.
Homeless, At-Risk and Special Needs Populations:
The five-year strategic plan identifies three specific activities to assist homeless, special needs, and
senior populations. In program year 2023 the city continued to make progress on these goals for
CAPER 4
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

homeless, at-risk and special needs populations. In 2023 the City funded three projects that serve
homeless and populations at-risk of homeless: allocating a total of $168,266 in grant funds in the 2023
grant year is to be awarded to three projects: $141,235 to Options for Helping Residents of Ashland
(OHRA) for to assist in the development of a commercial kitchen to serve the emergency shelter,
$11,936 to OHRA to provide navigation services that serve homeless and at-risk populations, and
$15,000 to Maslow Project for outreach and case management for homeless youth enrolled in the
Ashland School District.
The 2023 award allowed Maslow Project to provide case management, resources and assistance to 71
individuals in the Ashland school district who were homeless or at risk of homelessness. Options For
Helping Ashland provided resource referrals and case management to 589 individuals between July 1,
2022 and June 30, 2023. The OHRA Commercial Kitchen project is yet to be completed, and therefore,
while the project is anticipated to benefit shelter residents, because the project is not complete, no
beneficiaries have been reported.
Economic and Community Development:
During program year 2023, the City did not undertake any economic development activities.
Narrative on Outcomes
The City is required to identify a number and variety of potential strategic goals and outcomes in the
consolidated planning process to work toward over the five year Consolidated Planning period. The City
does not receive enough CDBG funding to address all of the goals in any given year, and similarly, the
City can only fund activities that are being applied for, or which are being put forward by applicants.
Consequently in any given year the City is beholden to the applicants to meet the needs identified
through the consolidated planning process. The Consolidated Plan is drafted to provide priorities that
are broad enough to allow for flexibility and variety in the types of activities that may be funded.
However, the City may not receive applications for many of the identified activities in the five year
period. The zeros in Table 1 thereflect all of the activities that have not been applied for or been
awarded funding in the previous five years, while overages in homeless services reflect the activities
that have been funded in multiple years, even though they may meet a goal which has already been
attained.
The City generally identifies at least one goal in each CDBG eligible category of activity types that have a
likelihood of taking place in the five year Consolidated plan period. The City identifies priority goals
through a community engagement process, goals are identified as a priority need for investment, based
on community resource needs and gaps, non-profit partner capacity, and which types of activities have
the potential to occur within the five year period that is covered by the Consolidated Plan. These types
of activities may include: public facility improvements, such as ADA improvements in public rights of way
(examples of past projects include, sidewalks in low-income neighborhoods, audible crosswalk signals
for visually impaired individuals, and ADA wheelchair ramps in sidewalks or in public buildings), or the
CAPER 5
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

development or improvement of public facilities such as homeless shelters and food banks (both of
which were past projects supported with CDBG funding). Economic development activities, such as
supporting micro-enterprise, or work programs that are targeted to minority or special needs
populations, both of which the City has supported with CDBG funding in previous program years, and
the provision of services to homeless populations. Each year the City awards the funding to eligible
activities based partially on goals and outcomes that have yet to be met in the five year planning period.
However, awards are also dependent on the pool of applicants who are able to move projects forward
in any given year. Due to the limited number of service providers and the capacity of those providers to
undertake activities, the City often receives several applications for public service activities (also called
direct service activities), as those are fairly easy activities to implement and have smaller budgets,
however, the majority of CDBG funding is restricted to supporting capital improvement projects, which
tend to be more expensive and complex projects, and consequently the City may not see any capital
improvement applications in a given year due to both the limited amount of funding available, and the
lack of larger scale projects moving forward within the City each year.

Narrative
There is a slight over representation of minorities who are experiancing homelessness over those that
are represented in the general population of Ashland. This trend is seen in national data on
homelessness as well. The Governor's Emergency Order initiative has a special call out to addressing
this trend by ensuring more diverse voices and representation are included in stratregic planning
processes to better address the needs of minority populations in service delivery.

The City of Ashland is a relatively small community both in population and incorporated area. Ashland is

block groups 8 qualify as Low- to Moderate- Income area benefit block groups. There are no areas that
The City of Ashland does
not have any designated Revitalization Neighborhoods nor does the City have any areas that quality as
being affected by slum or blight conditions. Consequently, the city did not target any CDBG funds to a
designated area.
The City utilizes a declining amount of CDBG funding to work toward meeting the goals identified in
the five-year strategic plan. The City also utilizes some general fund money to address the needs
identified in the five-year strategic plan, however, the City does not require reporting from all agencies
receiving funding on the use of those funds, consequently the City will not report on those outcomes
within the numerical goals listed.

The City did not support any affordable housing activities with CDBG funding in Program year
2023. Though rent assistance was provided to households in Ashland through other funding sources
provided by HUD and State agencies to various community organizations such as OHRA, Access, and
Salvation Army and St. Vincent du Paul. None of these agencies recieved CDBG funding or other City
funding to support these activities in 2023.
CAPER 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

The city has a difficult time meeting housing related goals for a few different reasons. One of which is
provide much support for the development of
affordable housing projects in Ashland. The high cost of land and properties in Ashland relative to other
cities in the Rogue Valley requires more incentive to level the playing field. Similarly, there is a relative
scarcity of large, multi-family zoned, flat, readily developable land within the City which can make it
more expensive and more difficult for affordable housing developers to site projects in Ashland and
compete with private market developers. Lastly, like many communities, issues of NIMBY-ism can cause
costly delays and potentially derail an affordable housing project in a small community such as Ashland.
In 2021 the City adopted the Housing Capacity Analysis, as a part of that process, the City was required
to also undertake a process to develop and adopt strategies to address the barriers to development of
needed housing types outlined above. That process was called the Housing Production Strategy (HPS)
project.
with a focus on equity and based on public input. The Housing Production Strategy report identified 15
specific actions the city will undertake over an 8-year period to promote the development needed
housing. The HPS identified 15 actions and describes implementation steps to support development of
housing, address housing affordability challenges, and encourage the preservation of existing affordable
housing. With this Strategy, the City identified a set of actions to support new and existing affordable
development. The actions will encourage the development of more affordable and diverse housing
types; grow partnerships with housing providers, developers and agencies involved in housing issues;
and increase housing stability for Ashland residents.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The City rarely has enough funding to support the highest need in the community, the provision of
affordable housing in any meaningful way. Consequently, future action plans will most likely not include
any outcomes of funding prioriites that address affordable housing.
Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons
served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine
the eligibility of the activity.

The City has done a good job of meeting the specific objectives for reducing homelessness identified
in the five-year consolidated plan. Primarily due to the additional allocations of CDBG funding to
address issues related to the Coronavirus and the funding the State made available to address issues of
homelessness and victims of wildfires. These additional allocations allowed the City to support several
endeavors undertaken by local non-profit service providers in addressing the most urgent needs to
prevent and prepare for issues created by the pandemic. The City is fortunate to have several providers
in the region who partner effectively around the issues of homelessness. Similarly, the City continues its
strong commitment to involvement in the Jackson County Homeless Task Force and the Jackson County
Continuum of Care Board. In 2021 Options for Helping Residents of Ashland was the first organization
in the State to be awarded Project Turnkey funding to purchase an existing hotel to be used as a
homeless shelter. This funding has provided an invaluable resource to the community and will allow
OHRA to run a year-round homeless shelter. In 2021 the City continued to support the development of
this resource for the community.
Lastly, each year, City staff participates in the annual HUD Point in Time Count. The Point in Time
Count, takes place on the night of the last Monday in January, and is a coordinated effort between
regional service providers and community volunteers to conduct surveys throughout the County on that
single night to get a snapshot of the numbers, needs and types of homelessness people are experiencing
from year to year. While there is much criticism about the methodology used to conduct the Point in

population, allowing service providers to see changes year over year. And while the count may not
accurately capture actual numbers of unhoused people on an annual basis, it is able to provide
representative data to help inform funding decisions.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Ashland was fortunate enough to have been the recipient of funding from the State
Emergency Solutions Grant fund to open an additional shelter to house up to 49 people in both
CAPER 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

congregate and non-congregate shelter for the winter of 2021-2022. Ashland is also the home of the
first Project Turnkey funded shelter. The City continues to support the efforts of non-profit
organizations that provide the shelter resources as well as to provide funding through the City Social
Service grant program to support the work of non-profits providing other supports to homeless and at-
risk populations. The City allocated $100,000 in General Fund money to support the operation of an
Emergency Inclement Weather Shelter from November 2022-March 2023. The City continues to
coordinate regionally to alleviate issues of homelessness through the Jackson County Continuum of Care
and to develop needed housing types from emergency shelter to permanent housing, to ensure that
there is a full continuum of housing throughout the Rogue Valley.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
In Program Year 2023 the City has not directed funds specifically toward addressing the needs of
persons with special needs that may require supportive housing (such as persons with HIV/AIDs)
preferring instead to target funding and staff time to serving the needs of all populations experiencing
or at risk of homelessness.
The Jackson County Continuum of Care received renewal and awards totaling $320,217 for programs
funded in the prior program years as well as an additional bonus projects. he City has, for a number of
years, supported two organizations that do extensive outreach to unsheltered persons with both CDBG
funding and City Social Service Grant funding.
visitation program do extensive outreach to homeless and at-risk residents. In recent years the City has
also supported Options for Helping Residents of Ashland which provides several services to remove
barriers to housing and employment and provide emergency shelter in the coldest months of the year.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As mentioned previously in the document the City awarded funds to Options for Helping Residents of
Ashland (OHRA) and the Maslow project, both activities work with homeless and at-risk populations to
stabilize and improve their situations. OHRA primarily assists homeless and those at risk of
homelessness to obtain and maintain housing through providing emergency shelter to stabilize the

household and case management services to remove barriers to obtaining and maintaining
housing. These activities can contribute to a reduction of the number of people living in
poverty. Similarly, Maslow Project provides resources, referrals, and case management for homeless
and at-risk populations, along with other services which are also not captured in the CDBG reporting
data. The City also awards funding (though not always CDBG funding) to several other organizations
which coordinate several resources to alleviate the issues of homelessness. The Jackson County
Homeless Task Force and Continuum of Care members (which includes representation from Ashland)
works with publicly funded institutions and systems of care to coordinate around discharge
planning. Lastly, the OHRA Center has recieved City of Ashland social service grant funding to assist
homeless and at-risk populations in a variety of ways, including employment and housing and shelter
supports, life skills and case management supports, laundry and shower services as well as general
resource referral.

The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 requires communities to include in their
Consolidated Plan a description of an anti-poverty strategy. The City of Ashland has limited resources
for addressing the issues involved in reducing poverty and improving the self-sufficiency of low-income
residents. Affordable housing is one of the factors directly related to poverty that the City of Ashland
does have some ability to influence, and the related goals are covered in the Housing Goals section. In
addition, the City supports housing, social service, and economic development programs targeted at the
continuum of care needs of the homeless.
In another effort to address poverty within Ashland, during 2001-2002 the City of Ashland passed a
Living Wage Ordinance. This ordinance requires that employees of the City, or employers receiving
financial assistance or business from the City in excess of approximately $15,000 (adjusts annually) must
pay a minimum of $14.19 per hour (adjusted annually) to employees engaged in work related to the City
project or service contract. The City of Ashland operates a variety of funding and other assistance
programs which, together, are designed to strategically address the goals of reducing poverty and
improving the self-sufficiency of low-income residents. The activities undertaken in conjunction with
this anti-poverty strategy can be separated into two primary areas of effort: human services programs
targeted at the continuum of care needs; and affordable housing programs. The City of Ashland has
provided funding to agencies that address the needs of low income and homeless residents through a
Social Service Grant program in prior years. The goal of this program is to improve living conditions and
self-sufficiency for residents by meeting such basic needs as food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and
basic health care. The goal is carried out by providing a little more than $100,000 every year to various
CAPER 13
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

area agencies whose focus meets one or more of these targeted needs.
The Social Service Grant program is funded entirely with general fund dollars from the City of Ashland
budget. For the 2023-2024 program year the City Council and the Budget Committee have once again
approved a one-year allocation.
-poverty strategy targets the development and retention of
affordable housing. The City of Ashland has made a serious efforts to address the issues of housing
affordability including the dedication of funds to support the development of affordable housing and
shelter through the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City of Ashland Staff provides support to the City of Ashland Housing and Human Services Advisory
Committee including a Housing Program Specialist, which helps provide institutional structure as well as
to examine and implement opportunities for intergovernmental cooperation. City staff also works with
regional partners to maintain and promote further regional coordination and partnership in housing and
community development related activities. Ashland continues to work with the Jackson County
Continuum of Care and the Jackson County Homeless Task force to address the development of
affordable housing and resources for homeless and at-risk populations at a regional level. More recently
Housing Program Staff was appointed to the Multi-Agency Coordination Team to collaborate community
Homelessness.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
As mentioned, the City of Ashland works with several non-profit affordable housing providers and non-
profit service providers to facilitate the development of needed housing types and services. The City
continues to look for opportunities to work with and coordinate relationships between for profit/private
market developers and non-
and ownership housing. The City of Ashland Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee
continues t
expand that stock if possible. And lastly, Housing Program staff serves on the Continuum of Care board
with the leaders of several nonprofit social service agencies and affordable housing providers, and
regularly attends the Jackson County Homeless Task Force, which coordinates services throughout the
community.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
The City had an Analysis of Impediments to fair house choice drafted in 2009. Based on the
CAPER 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

recommendations in that document the City undertook numerous activities to address the public sector
and private sector impediments identified. Some examples of activities that the City has undertaken in
prior years include; trainings to targeted groups, fair housing testing, support of a local staff person to
conduct trainings and promote fair housing throughout Jackson County, financial sponsorship and staff
support for education and outreach events and lastly, policy review and amendment to include
expanded fair housing language. The City did not utilize CDBG funding to support these trainingsin
program year 2023. The City also regularly engages with the Fair Housing Council of Oregon through
the regional Fair Housing Planning group known as the Southern Oregon Community Advisory Group
(SOCAG) which is convened by the FHCO and meets quarterly. In 2021 the City of Ashland Adopted an
update of the 2009 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The update includes action
steps and a schedule for implementation over the 5-year Consolidated Plan period. The City will
continue to look for ways to address identified impediments and detail those actions in subsequent
reports.
CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
Each Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year the City reviews each CDBG activity
that was underway and ranks the sub-
criteria on the monitoring risk assessment form provided by HUD. The designated points on the rating
form are established to prove a means of quantifying a Risk Factor and are useful as tools in determining
the extent of monitoring for a given activity. Other factors, as deemed relevant by the City of Ashland,
can be used in establishing a higher or lower risk factor than the numerical rating system. A CDBG
monitoring visit may consist of an on-site monitoring or a desk monitoring. All CDBG grantees will be
monitored once prior to a contract being administratively closed. The areas monitored may include:
The CDBG staff objectives for monitoring are to determine if grantees are:
Carrying out their CDBG-funded activities as described in their contracts (as modified or
amended);
Carrying out the program or project in a timely manner in accordance with the schedule
included in the CDBG contract;
Charging costs to the program or project which are eligible under applicable regulations;
Complying with other applicable laws, regulations and terms of the CDBG contract;
Conducting the program in a manner which minimizes the opportunity for fraud, waste and
mismanagement; and
Have a continuing capacity to carry out the approved program or project.

Overall management system, record keeping and progress in activities.
When a grantee is found to be out of compliance, CDBG staff will identify a specific period in which
compliance should be achieved. Usually, the grantee will have 30 days to correct deficiencies. Copies of
supporting documentation demonstrating that corrective action has been taken will be
required. Additional time for corrective action may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Failure by the
grantee to correct deficiencies may result in funds being withheld and possible restrictions on future
grants.

Memo
DATE: September 26, 2024
TO: Housing and Human Services Advisory Committee
FROM: Linda Reid, Housing Program Manager
DEPT: Planning
RE: Education and Community Engagement Planning
Each year the HHSAC is in charge ofdeveloping an educational and
community engagement event. The event can take place at any time
during the year and should include a component that addresses the issue
of rent burden to meet the City’s obligation to the State regarding
providingrent burden education to the community. The HHSAC will also
have the additional responsibility of incorporating community
engagement to help inform the development of the Consolidated Plan for
the use of Community Development Block Grant funds, at this or another
event. However, both the rent burden and the CDBG events have a lot of
flexibility in how the engagement and education can be accomplished.
The HHSAC began the process of brainstorming about what the
Committee members might like to do/see/accomplishfor this year’s
eventin July, and has identified some aspects that they would like to
include thus far, including making sure that whatever venue is chosen is
good for walkability, that the event had a social/interactive format rather
than a more formal educational forum format.
