AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 18.20, 18.24, and 18.28 OF THE
ASHLAND MUNICIPAL CODE - LAND USE ORDINANCE, ESTABLISHING
LIMITS ON MAXIMUM HOUSE SIZES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ASHLAND DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 18.20.040.E. of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance is modified as
follows:
Maximum Building Height: No structure shall be over 35 feet or two and
one-half stories in height, whichever is less. Structures within the Historic
District shall not exceed a height of 30 feet."
SECTION 2. Sections 18.20.040.G. and H. are added to the Ashland Land Use
Ordinance as follows:
"G.
Maximum Permitted Floor Area for dwellings within the Historic District. The
maximum permitted floor area for primary dwellings within the Historic
District shall be determined by the following:
The maximum permitted floor area shall include the total floor space
of all floors (gross floor area) of the primary dwelling measured to the
outside surfaces of the building, including but not limited to exterior
walls, potential living spaces within the structure with at least 7' of
head room and attached garages. The floor area shall not include
basements, detached garages, detached accessory structures, or
detached accessory residential units. Detached garages, accessory
structures, or accessory residential units shall be separated from
other structures by a minimum of 6', except that unenclosed
breezeways or similar open structures may connect the structures.
The following formula shall be used to calculate the Maximum
Permitted Floor Area (MPFA), provided however, that regardless of
lot size, the MPFA shall not exceed 3,249 sq. ft.:
Lot area x Adi. Factor = Adiusted lot area x 0.38 FAR = MPFA

New single family structures and additions to existing single family
structures within the Historic District shall not exceed the MPFA unless a
Conditional Use Permit is obtained. In no case shall the permitted floor area
exceed 25% of the MPFA. In addition to the findings for a Conditional Use
Permit, the standards noted in Section IV of the Site Design and Use
Standards shall be considered in the request."
SECTION 3. Section 18.24.040.F of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance is modified
as follows:
Maximum Height: No structure shall be over 35 feet or two and one-half
stories in height, whichever is less. Structures within the Historic District
shall not exceed a height of 30 feet."
SECTION 4. Sections 18.24.040.1., J., and K. are added to the Ashland Land Use
Ordinance as follows:
Maximum Permitted Floor Area for single family dwellings on individual lots
within the Historic District. The maximum permitted floor area for single
family primary dwellings on individual lots within the Historic District shall be
determined by the following:
The maximum permitted floor area shall include the total floor space of
all floors (gross floor area) of the primary dwelling measured to the
outside surfaces of the building, including but not limited to exterior
walls, potential living spaces within the structure with at least 7' of head
room and attached garages. The floor area shall not include basements,
detached garages, detached accessory structures, or detached
accessory residential units. Detached garages, accessory structures, or
accessory residential units shall be separated from other structures by a
minimum of 6', except that unenclosed breezeways or similar open
structures may connect the structures.
The following formula shall be used to calculate the Maximum Permitted
Floor Area (MPFA), provided however, that regardless of lot size, the
MPFA shall not exceed 3,249 sq. ft.:
Lot area x Adi. Factor = Adiusted lot area x 0.38 FAR -- MPFA

Maximum Permitted Floor Area for multiple dwellings on a single lot within
the Historic District. The MPFA for multiple dwellings on a single lot within
the Historic District shall be determined by the following:
The MPFA shall include the total floor space of all floors (gross floor area)
of the primary dwelling measured to the outside surfaces of the building,
including but not limited to exterior walls, potential living spaces within the
structure with at least 7' of head room and attached garages. The floor
area shall not include basements, detached garages, detached accessory
structures, or detached accessory residential units. Detached garages,
accessory structures, or accessory residential units shall be separated
from other structures by a minimum of 6', except that unenclosed
breezeways or similar open structures may connect the structures.
2. The following formula shall be used to calculate the Maximum Permitted
Floor Area (MPFA):
Lot area x Adi. Factor = Adjusted lot area x Graduated FAR = MPFA
