PLANNING ACTION #2006-01663
A.
Request for an Annexation and Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map change from Jackson County zoning RR-5
(Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning R-2 (Low-Density Multiple Family Residential), R-1-3.5 (Suburban
Residential) and R-1 (Single-Family Residential) for an 11.64-acre site comprised of five parcels located at 87 W. Nevada St.
and 811 Helman St. (Ashland Greenhouses). The Ashland Comprehensive Plan Map identifies the site for Single-Family
Residential development (R-1 zoning). As a result, the proposal includes a Comprehensive Plan Map Change to modify
the Single-Family Residential designation to Low Density Multi-Family Residential (R-2) and Suburban Residential (R-1-3.5
zoning) designations. The proposal requires Outline Plan approval to develop the property as a 78-unit residential
development under the Performance Standards Options Chapter 18.88. The proposal requires Site Review approval for
multi-family development. A Tree Removal Permit is requested to remove a 36-inch diameter at breast height Oak tree.
Exceptions to the Street Standards are requested to install a curbside sidewalk on one side of one of the proposed streets,
for not locating a street adjacent to natural features and for not connecting two of the proposed streets. Variances are
requested to reduce the on-street parking requirement from 78 to 38 spaces, to reduce the rear yard setback requirement
for six of the townhomes in the northwestern corner of the site from 20 feet to 12, 14 and 16 feet, and to reduce the required
distance between buildings for the 27 cottages in the southwestern corner of the site. An Administrative Variance to the Site
Design and Use Standards is requested to have the primary orientation of the buildings to the south rather than the street as
