SUBJECT PROPERTY: 675 East Main Street
APPLICANT/OWNER: Susan Charley
DESCRIPTION: A request for Conditional Use Permit approval to operate a single
unit, two-bedroom commercial hotel/motel in an existing single-family structure. The property is

FINAL DECISION DATE:

APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE:
January 2, 2026
DECISION
The proposal is to operate a single -unit, two-bedroom hotel/motel in an existing single-family
residence at 675 East Main Street. This action requires a Conditional Use Permit and Site
Design. No changes to the structure or site are proposed, therefore, limited Site Design Review
standards apply to this proposal.
Subject Property
The subject parcel is accessed from East Main Street and a rear alley between Fifth and Sixth
Streets, with parking accessed by the alley. The lot is approximately 4,356 square feet and
generally rectangular in shape. The lot and immediate surrounding properties are zoned C-1,
commercial, with R-2, multiple family residential zoning to the north. The street frontage is fully
improved with curb, sidewalk, and park row along the subject property on East Main Street. The
residence is served by city facilities including water, sewer, gas, and electric services. The
application notes that water and electric services were improved in the early 2000s.
The residence is located in the Ashland Railroad Addition Historic District. According to the
National Register of Historic Places, the single -story hipped -roof cottage was built around 1909
and is referred to as the "Eliza Long Rental House," a contributing resource within the historic
district. The building was constructed as a single-family residence prior to the commercial
zoning. The residential use in the commercial zone is a legal nonconforming use.
The home was approved for the operation of a one -unit hotel/motel in 1995, under Planning
Action, #PA -95-054. During the Covid-19 pandemic the owner converted the house to a long-
term rental allowing the previously approved short-term rental "hotel" use to lapse. The owner is
now seeking approval to return to short-term rental "hotel" use.

Conditional Use Permit
The application is required to meet the approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit in AMC
18.5.4.
The applicant is proposing to operate an existing single-family residence as a single -unit, two-
bedroom hotel/motel. Hotel/motel operation in the C-1 zone may be allowed through a
conditional use permit. The residence was previously operating as a hotel/motel under a 1995
planning action prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Applicable approval criteria with staff notes as follows:
The use would be in conformance with all standards within the zoning district in which
the use is proposed or located and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive Plan
policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or Federal law or program. Staff
notes that a conditional use permit was approved for this same proposal in 1995 and since
then there have not been any changes to the zoning or Comprehensive Plan in this
location.
2. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, electricity, urban storm
drainage, paved access to and throughout the development, and adequate transportation
can and will be provided to the subject property. Staff notes that City public facility
services currently serve the residence with recent upgrades to water and electric service.
Street improvements such as curbs, sidewalks, and park row are installed along the East
Main Street frontage and parking is provided in the rear, accessed by an alley.
With regard to parking, staff notes that OAR 660-012-0440(3), adopted as part of the
Climate -Friendly & Equitable Communities (CFEC) Rulemaking, imposed significant
limitations on cities' abilities to enforce minimum off-street parking requirements. In
response to the requirements of the CFEC rules, the City of Ashland adopted Ordinance
#3229 which eliminated minimum off-street parking requirements city-wide effective
January 19, 2024. Staff notes that the proximity of this residence to the downtown area
will likely encourage walking and other non -vehicular means of getting around town. The
application states that four parking spots are provided.
3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of
the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use
of the zone. When evaluating the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the
following factors of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to the
target use of the zone.-
a)
one:a) Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
b) Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian,
bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of
facilities.
c) Architectural compatibility with the impact area
d) Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental
pollutants.
e) Generation of noise, light, and glare.
j) The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.

Page 2
g) Other factors found to he relevant by the Hearing Authority for review of the
proposed use.
Staff notes that the application does not propose any changes to the lot or residence. The home
was previously rented as a hotel and the use is expected to be the same as it was pre -pandemic.
The use as a hotel would result in less traffic generation and noise than if used for commercial
retail.
Site Design Review
The application states that the proposal does not
include any modifications to the existing lot,
landscaping, or structure. Staff conducted a site visit
on May 28, 2024, to review the existing landscaping.
The property includes well maintained mature
landscaping, groundcovers, lawn and features such as
paved walkways, a covered porch, wood deck, and a
delineated low fence screening parking area with
shrubs.
The application states that the location of the existing four parking spaces accessed from the alley
will continue to be used as it was in the past. No additional parking is proposed. Staff notes that
there are no parking requirements (see above) and that the four parking spaces exceed current
ordinances and regulations for providing parking.
During the site visit staff noticed that there is an existing trash and recycling area in the parking
area.
The property is within the Historic Railroad District. According to the application, there are no
changes or exterior modifications to the proposed structure to provide for the short term, hotel
rental use.
The property is currently served by adequate City of Ashland facilities for water, sanitary sewer,
storm drainage, and electricity services. In staff's assessment, the proposal 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 prior use of
the property. The application complies with all of the applicable provisions of the C-1 zoning

Application Submission Requirements for 675 E. Main St, to
return to use as a "hotel"
Applicant: Susan Charley
Request: Conditional Use Permit for a single unit hotel/motel
Note. This house was previously given a "hotel" use pennit.
During covid I converted the house to a longer term rental.
Now that tenant has left, I want to use it as a short term redl
"hotel" again. No changes have occurred to the property or
house. Basic upkeep.
See attached with notes from the Pre -Application Conference.
1) Attached is a Drawing for designation B under General
Submission Requirements.
2)) 18.5.050 Conditional Use Permit Approval Criteria:
That the use would be in conformance with all standards
within the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be
located, and in conformance with relevant Comprehensive
plan policies that are not implemented by any City, State, or
Federal law or program.
SJ& Comments: The property was developed in the early
1900's, prior to zoning laws and is therefore, a legal non --
confirming use (a residence in a commercial zone).
VIy comment: 675 East Main Street is on the block between 5"
and 6" streets on the north side of the street the Historic Railroad
District. The three block section of East Main Street between 4'"
Street on the west and 7' Street on the east was mostly
developed as single-family homes in the early 1900's.The
Immediate neighborhood, while all zoned C-1, consists of
buildings of different ages from a variety of architectural styles
and uses, including modern professional offices, modern
townhomes, a restaurant, and several travelers' accommodations.
675 East Main fits in with the other homes in the area.
That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer,
electricity, urban storm drainage, paved access to and
throughout the development, and adequate transportation
can and will be provided to the subject property. All City
facilities including water, sewer, electrical and storm
drainage were installed at the time the building was
developed, were sized appropriately and serve the existing
property. The proposeL lotel/motel will make no signific. .t
increase in demand for these services.
Staff Comments: . All City facilities including water, sewer,
electrical and storm drainage were installed at the time the
building was developed, were sized appropriately and serve the
existing property. The proposed hotel/motel will makeno
significant increase in demand for these services.
My Comment: The house was updated to improve the electric
and water in the early 2000's. All systems work properly.
That the conditional use will have no greater adverse
material effect on the livability of the impact area when
compared to the development of the subject lot with the
target use of the zone, pursuant with subsection
18.5.4.050.A.5, below. When evaluating the effect of the
proposed use on the impact area, the following factors of
livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to
the target use of the zone.
Staff Comments: The application would need to demonstrate
that the proposed project will have no greater adverse effect on
the liability of the area than would development to the target use
of the zone. Typical considerations include traffic, parking,
noise, etc. There is no proposed change to the site or the _
building. All that is being proposed is authorizing the use as a
short-term rental operating as a one -unit Hotel/Motel. See 5
below.
Nay Comment: No Changes to be made to lot or house. I am not
expecting any change in use. The house was previously rented
as a hotel. The use should be the same as it has been over the
last 5-6 years. Parking remains the same, there are 4 spots
available. There should actually be less problems with air
quality and noise, light, glare as there will not be occupants
everyday. Sq fit. LI6 4b�sL--
A conditional use permit shall not allow a use that is
prohibited or one that is not permitted pursuant to the
ordinance.
Staff Comments: The use is not prohibited, and is allowed with
a conditional use permit (CUP)
No other comments
For the purposes of reviewing conditional use permit
applications for conformity with the approval criteria of this
subsection, the target uses of each zone are as follows:
Staff CoMmeats: C-1. The general retail commercial uses listed
in chapter 18.2.2 Base Zones and Allowed Uses, developed at an
intensity of .35 floor area ration, complying with all o1 .ance
requirements: and within the Detailed Site Review overlay, at an
intensity of .50 floor to area ratio, complying with all ordinance
requirements. The property is located in the Detail Site Review
overlay.
My Comment: The proposed use is for a single unit, two-
bedroom Hotel/Motel. The hotel use would be less traffic/noise
than if used for retail and less than the current full-time rental.
Fire; Fire/carbon Alarms have been newly installed according
to requirements provided by the fire department.. A fire
Extinquisher has been added. An evacuation map will be placed
in the unit.

drainage, paved access to and throughout the development, and adequate
transportation can and will be provided to the subject property.
All City facilities including water, sewer, electrical and storm drainage were d
installed at the time the building was developed, were sized appropriately and serve
the existing property. The proposed hotel/motel will make no significant increase in
demand for these services.
3. That the conditional use will have no greater adverse material effect on the livability of
the impact area when compared to the development of the subject lot with the target use
of the zone, pursuant with subsection 18.5.4.050.A.5, below, When evaluating the effect
of the proposed use on the impact area, the following factors of livability of the impact
area shall be considered in relation to the target use of the zone.
a. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
b. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian,
bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of
facilities.
c. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
d. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
e. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
f. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.
g. Other factors found to be relevant by the approval authority for review of the
proposed use.
The application would meed to demonstrate that the proposed project will have no
greater adverse effect on the livability of the area than would development to the
target use of the zonae. Typical considerations include traffic, parldtig, noise, etc.

4. A conditional use permit shall not allow a use that is prohibited or one that is not
permitted pursuant to this ordinance.

As an example, the lot size is 4,356 square feet, and a 50 percent floor to area ratio
would be approximately 2,.174 square feet of retail use.
General Retail Commercial use typically generates approximately 4.80 PM peals hour trips
per 1,000 square feet. 2.175 x 4.80 =approximately 1.€1.45 pear Dour trips for retail
commercial development at 50 percent floor to area ratio.
Hotel/Motel use typically generates approximately 0.74 PM pear hour per trips per room.
The application materials slid not specify the number of rooms to be rented. The floor plana
indicates a 2 -bedroom home. Calculations for a one room and a two -room hotel are below:
A one room hotel would equate to 0.74 trips/room x T room = 0.74 trips.
A two -room hotel would equate to 0.74 trips/room x 2 room = 1.48 trips.
On that basis, the proposed use will genet -ate less traffic than the target nese (general
retail commercial) developed at a 50% FAR
18.1.4.020 Reestablishment of Nonconforming Status for Discontinued Use.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 18,1.4.020.C, a nonconforming use that is
discontinued shall not be considered abandoned where the approval authority approves a
Conditional Use Permit pursuant to chapter 18.5.4. The applicant shall demonstrate the

addition to applying the criteria required for Conditional Use Permit, shall apply the following
criteria.
1. Any improvements for the reestablishment of a nonconforming use on the site are
limited to 50 percent of the value of the structure, except where such improvements
bring the subject site, development or use into closer conformity with this ordinance.
Valuation shall be determined as follows:
a. An independent real estate appraiser licensed in the State of Oregon shall
determine the value of the structure.

c. Personal property necessary for the operation of the business or site
improvements not included in the structure shall not be counted as improvements
under this criterion.
2. The traffic generated by the proposed use is not greater than the greatest traffic that
would be generated by a permitted use. In assessing the traffic generated by the
Proposed use, the approval authority shall consider the average peals -hour number of
vehicle trips per day, the hours of operation, and the types of traffic generated; i.e., truck
or passenger vehicle. The approval authority may condition approval of the Conditional
Use Permit limiting the land use so that traffic impacts are not greater than for uses
permitted in the same zone.
3. The noise generated by the proposed use will comply with the AMC 08.17p and
will not exceed the average ambient noise level already existing in the area, as
measured pursuant to this section.
