DECISION
The application is a request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Design Review to allow a two-unit Motel at
550 East Main Street. The property was previously approved for a Traveler's Accommodation in 1990 (PA #
90-124), but approval had lapsed when the owners wished to close the business in 1997. Proceeding that was a
salon at the same location.
The property is zoned Commercial (C-l) and is located on the south side of East Main Street, East of Lithia
Way and directly adjacent to the Fire Station No.1 site. The property is also located within the Railroad
Historic District. The lot is approximately 6,562 square feet in area and the existing home is approx. 1,593 sq.
ft. in size according to the Jackson County Tax Assessor's information. The home fronts onto East Main Street.
The subject property contains an existing home with established landscaping. There is a shared driveway on the
east side ofthe building connecting to an alley. Two parking spaces are to be against the structure on the east
side ofthe building, and one in the rear; all three spaces are located entirely on the subject parcel. The applicant
has not identified any modifications to the existing building at this time. The applicant proposes to utilize the
first floor and a bedroom on t4e second floor as Unit I, and the remainder ofthe second floor as Unit 2. Each
Unit will have a kitchen and living space.
The existing home on the site is designated as the Jesse McCall House and is considered an historic
contributing resource within the Railroad Historic District. The inventory document notes that the large
vernacular style house was initially build prior to 1890. In 1902, the Ashland Tidings reports that Jesse McCall
is "building an attractive dwelling" with major additions to the original building. McCall, son of Martin
McCall, the original developer of this area, resided in the house for a number of years until his divorce and sold
the house to Charles Rose, who maintained the house as a rental until 1923 . "While somewhat modified, the
McCall house still retains sufficient integrity to relate to its historic period of development". The Historic
Commission has reviewed the application at their May 5th, 2010 meeting and recommended approval of the
application. While no exterior changes were detailed in the submittal, the application indicates that windows
PA 2010-00355
550 E. Main St.
Page 1
are to be replaced without providing additional details. The Commission noted that the existing windows and
front door were not historically appropriate and that if appropriate replacements were selected they would be a
significant improvement. They asked that any changes to windows, doors, or the exterior of the existing
historic contributing resource, the Jesse McCall House, be reviewed by the weekly review board to ensure that
the proposed materials are historically appropriate.
The subj ect property fronts onto East Main, an arterial street. East Main is paved along the property's frontage,
with bike lanes, curbs, gutters, park row planting strips and established street trees, and sidewalks in place.
Vehicular access is provided by a shared driveway off East Main. Three off-street parking spaces are required,
one space for each unit, and one for the manager. Three off-street parking spaces are currently in place; two
parallel spaces along the east side ofthe building, and one in the rear of the propeliy. Plans also show sheltered
bicycle parking underneath the stairs to the second unit in the rear of the property. Adequate public water,
sanitary sewer, storm drain, and electric facilities are in place to serve the existing house and the proposed
motel use.
The target use of the subject property would be for 2,300 square feet of retail or office space. While the
existing structure is slightly smaller, the building is similar in bulk and scale and architecturally compatible to
surrounding historical context of Ashland's downtown core. The ideal user would be for a vacationing couple
or family who would like to stay in Ashland's historical and cultural city center while enjoying all the comforts
of home. The building is similar Staff would also like to note that the close proximity of the site to tourist
attractions, readily accessible pedestrian facilities, transit routes, and shopping would likely create no more
vehicular impact on the surrounding neighborhood than would the target use. In staff's view, these elements
remain in place and support approval of the current request as well.
Staff has received one verbal comment on this matter regarding allowable parking areas for the proposed motel
and adjoining uses, and no written comments.
The criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.104.050, as follows:
A. 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.
B. That adequate capacity of City facilities for water, sewer, paved access to and through the
development, electricity, urban storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be provided
to and through the subject property.
C. 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:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and
mass transit use are considered beneficial regardless of capacity of facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other environmental pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan.

Other: Vernacular
1890/02
391E09AC 14900
Historic Contributing
The main portion of this two-story vernacular wood frame dwelling was built some prior to
October 1890. In July 1902 the Ashland Tidings reported that Jesse McCall [is building] an
attractive dwelling on East Main Street at a cost of about $1500." This apparently refers to
additional remodeling or a major addition to the earlier structure. Subsequent additIOns to the
rear, based upon available Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, all date prior to 1911. McCall, son of
Martin L. McCall the original developer of this part of Ashland, lived in this house for a number
of years. Following McCall's divorce, the house was sold to Charles Rose, who maintained it as
a rental until 1923. Later owners included George L. and Sarah Carey who apparently operated
the building a multiple family rental. Sincc the 1970s the McCall has been in commercial use as
a hair saloon. WhIle somewhat modified with asbestos shingle siding and other changes, the
McCall House retains sufficient integrity to relate its historic period of development.

ROSE, CHARLES & LAURA HOUSE 1907
568 MAIN ST E 39IE09AC 14803
Architect: Clark, Frank Chamberlain [Attrib.]
Arts & Crafts: Craftsman Bungalow Historic Contributing
This single-story wood-frame cottage was built prior to June 1907 possibly for Jesse McCall but
has long been known as the home of Charles and Laura Rose. Rose, who with his brother
operated the Rose Brothers Confectionery for over 20 years. The building is attributed to
locally prominent architect Frank Chamberlain Clark but than has not been conclusively
documented. The Roses remained the owners of the property until 1923 although by 1920 they
were apparently renting to Osmer W. Long, an SP Railroad conductor, and his wife Eliza.
FollOWing Eliza's deatli, Long married a neIghbor, Minda DeWitt and the couple lived in this
home. Minda Long retained ownership and resided here until her own death in the 1960s. The
building was converted to restaurant use under the name Clark Cottage in 1981 and is today
operated as "Cucina Biazzi" following substantial renovation. Although somewhat
compromised by the last renovation efforts, the Rose House retains sufficient integrity to relate
its hIStOric period of development.
ID # 369.0 Survey #886
LONG, O.W. AND MINDA RENTAL 1941
574 MAIN ST E 391E09AC 14801
Arts & Crafts: Bungalow Historic Contributing
This parcel remained vacant throughout the primary period of significance and it was only
following a rather complex transfer of property that it came into tne possession of Osmer and
Minda Long, who lived immediately to the west. The Longs may. have had this structure built
for rental purposes sometime prior to 1948, when it appears on Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps,
but it is considered likely that the dwelling was moved onto this site sometime after WWII and
may have been one of the many structures from Camp White that were relocated throughout the
Rogue Valley during that period. The Long Rental was renovated in 1992 in connection with
the construction of the separate structure to the rear and while modified, continues to reflect its
historic period of development.
Built by Ashland contractor R. B. Meiser in 1992, the separate two-story tri-plex at the rear of
the parcel is identified as ID# 369.100 and considered to be a Non-Historic, Non-Contributing
feature.
