Ashland Land Use Ordinance is hereby amended as follows:
18.3.4.040 Use Regulations
Ordinance No. Page 7 of 24
A. Plan overlay zones. There are four Land Use Designation Overlays zones within the
Normal Neighborhood Plan are intended to accommodate a variety of housing opportunities,
preserve natural areas and provide open space.
1. Plan NN-1-5 zone The use regulations and development standards are intended to
create, maintain and promote single-dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of
housing types are allowed, in addition to the detached single dwelling. Development
standards that are largely the same as those for single dwellings ensure that the overall
image and character of the single-dwelling neighborhood is maintained.
2. Plan NN-1-3.5 zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to
create, maintain and promote single-dwelling neighborhood character. A variety of
housing types are allowed including multiple compact attached and/or detached
dwellings. Dwellings may be grouped around common open space promoting a scale and
character compatible with single family homes. Development standards that are largely
the same as those for single dwellings ensure that the overall image and character of the
single-dwelling neighborhood is maintained.
3. Plan NN-1-3.5-C zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended
to provide housing opportunities for individual households through development of
multiple compact attached and/or detached dwellings with the added allowance for
neighborhood-serving commercial mixed-uses so that many of the activities of daily living
can occur within the Normal Neighborhood. The public streets within the vicinity of the
NN-1-3.5-C overlay are to provide sufficient on-street parking to accommodate ground
floor neighborhood business uses.
4. Plan NN-2 zone. The use regulations and development standards are intended to
create and maintain a range of housing choices, including multi-family housing within the
context of the residential character of the Normal-Neighborhood Plan.
B. Normal Neighborhood Plan Residential Building Types. The development
standards for the Normal Neighborhood Plan will preserve neighborhood character by
incorporating four distinct land use overlay areas with different concentrations of varying
housing types.
1. Single Dwelling Residential Unit.
A Single Dwelling Residential Unit is a detached residential building that contains a
single dwelling with self-contained living facilities on one lot. It is separated from
adjacent dwellings by private open space in the form of side yards and backyards, and
set back from the public street or common green by a front yard. Auto parking is
generally on the same lot in a garage, carport, or uncovered area. The garage may be
detached or attached to the dwelling structure.
2. Accessory Residential Unit.
Ordinance No. Page 8 of 24
An Accessory Residential Unit is a secondary dwelling unit on a lot, either attached to
the single-family dwelling or in a detached building located on the same lot with a single-
family dwelling, and having an independent means of entry.
3. Double Dwelling Residential Unit (Duplex).
A Double Dwelling Residential Unit is a residential building that contains two dwellings
located on a single lot, each with self-contained living facilities. Double Dwelling
Residential Units must share a common wall or a common floor/ ceiling and are similar
to a Single Dwelling Unit in appearance, height, massing and lot placement.
4. Attached Residential Unit. (Townhome, Row house)
An Attached Residential Unit is single dwelling located on an individual lot which is
attached along one or both sidewalls to an adjacent dwelling unit. Private open space
may take the form of front yards, backyards, or upper level terraces. The dwelling unit
may be set back from the public street or common green by a front yard.
5. Clustered Residential Units - Pedestrian-Oriented.
Pedestrian-Oriented Clustered Residential Units are multiple dwellings grouped around
common open space that promote a scale and character compatible with single family
homes. Units are typically arranged around a central common green under communal
ownership. Auto parking is generally grouped in a shared surface area or areas.
6. Multiple Dwelling Residential Unit.
Multiple Dwelling Residential Units are multiple dwellings that occupy a single building or
multiple buildings on a single lot. Dwellings may take the form of condominiums or
apartments. Auto parking is generally provided in a shared parking area or structured
parking facility.
7. Cottage Housing. Rese :moo
Cottage Housing Units are small dwellings in developments approved in
accordance with the standards in 18.2.3.090.
C. General Use Regulations. Uses and their accessory uses are permitted, special
permitted or conditional uses in the Normal Neighborhood Plan area as listed in the Land
Use Table.

SECTION 6. Chapter 18.3.9 [Performance Standards Option and PSO Overlay], sub-sections
18.3.9.030 [PSO-Overlay], 18.3.9.050 [Performance Standards for Residential Developments],
18.3.9.060 [Parking Standards], and 18.3.9.070 [Setbacks] of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance
are hereby amended as follows:
18.3.9.030 PSO-Overlay
A. Purpose. The purpose of the PSO overlay is to distinguish between those areas that have
been largely developed under the subdivision code, and those areas, which, due to the
undeveloped nature of the property, sloping topography, or the existence of vegetation or
natural hazards, are more suitable for development under Performance Standards.
B. Applicability. This chapter applies to properties located in the Performance Standards
Option Overlay (PSO) as depicted on the Zoning Map. All developments in the PSO overlay,
other than partitions and development of individual dwelling units, shall be processed under
this chapter. The minimum number of dwelling units for a Performance Standards
Subdivision within residential zoning districts is three.
C. Permitted Uses. In a PSO overlay, the granting of the application shall be considered an
outright permitted use, subject to review by the Planning Commission for compliance with
the standards set forth in this ordinance and the guidelines adopted by the City Council.
Ordinance No. Page 13 of 24
D. Development Outside PSO-overlay. If a parcel is not in a PSO overlay, then development
under this chapter may only be approved if one or more of the following conditions exist.
1. The parcel is larger than two acres and is greater than 200 feet in average width.
2. That development under this chapter is necessary to protect the environment and the
neighborhood from degradation which would occur from development to the
maximum density allowed under subdivision standards, or would be equal in its
aesthetic and environmental impact.
3. The property is zoned R-2, R-3 or CM.
4. The property is developed as a cottage housing development consistent with
the standards in section 18.2.3.090
18.3.9.040 [unchanged]
18.3.9.050 Performance Standards for Residential Developments
A. Base Densities. The density of the development shall not exceed the density established by
this section. The density shall be computed by dividing the total number of dwelling units by
the acreage of the project, including land dedicated to the public. Fractional portions of the
final answer, after bonus point calculations, shall not apply towards the total density.

3. Open Space Required. All developments with a base density of ten units or greater shall
be required to provide a minimum of five percent of the total lot area in Open Space; that
area is not subject to bonus point calculations, however, density bonuses shall be
awarded to open space areas in excess of the five percent required by this subsection.
B. Density Bonus Point Calculations. The permitted base density shall be increased by the
percentage gained through bonus points. In no case shall the density exceed that allowed
under the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density bonus permitted shall be 60 percent
(base density x 1.6), pursuant to the following criteria.
1. Conservation Housing. A maximum 15 percent bonus is allowed. One-hundred percent
of the homes or residential units approved for development, after bonus point
calculations, shall meet the minimum requirements for certification as a Earth Advantage
home, as approved by the Ashland Conservation Division under the City' s Earth
Advantage program as adopted by resolution 2006-06.
2. Provision of Common Open Space. A maximum ten percent bonus is allowed, pursuant
to the following.
a. Purpose. Common open spaces may be provided in the form of.natural areas,
wetlands, playgrounds, active or passive recreational areas, and similar areas in
common ownership. All areas set aside for common open space may be counted for
base density, unless otherwise excluded by subsection 18.3.9.050.A.2. However, for
the purposes of awarding density bonus points, the Planning Commission shall
consider whether or not the common open space is a significant amenity to project
residents, and whether project residents will realistically interact with the open space
on a day-to-day basis. The purpose of the density bonus for common open space is
to permit areas, which could otherwise be developed, or sold as individual lots, to be
Ordinance No. Page 15 of 24
retained in their natural state or to be developed as a recreational amenity. It is not
the purpose of this provision to permit density bonuses for incidental open spaces
that have no realistic use by project residents on a day-to-day basis. Open space
provided in cottage housing developments, meeting the standards of section
18.2.3.090 Cottage Housing, is not eligible for densitV bonus points.
b. Standard. Developments with fewer than ten units that provide more than two
percent of the project area for common open space, or for developments of ten units
or greater that provide more than five percent open space, a one percent bonus shall
be awarded for each one percent of the total project area in common open space.
3. Provision of Maior Recreational Facilities. A maximum ten percent bonus is allowed,
pursuant to the following.
a. Purpose. Points may be awarded for the provision of major recreational facilities
such as tennis courts, swimming pools, playgrounds, or similar facilities.
b. Standard. For each percent of total project cost devoted to recreational facilities, a
six percent density bonus may be awarded up to a maximum of ten percent bonus.
Total project cost shall be defined as the estimated sale price or value of each
residential unit times the total number of units in the project. Estimated value shall
include the total market value for the structure and land. A qualified architect or
engineer shall prepare the cost of the recreational facility using current costs of
recreational facilities. ,
c. Maior recreational facilities provided in cottage housing developments,
meeting the standards of section 18.2.3.090 Cottage Housing, are not eligible
for density bonus points.
4. Affordable Housing. A maximum bonus of 35 percent is allowed. Developments shall
receive a density bonus of two units for each affordable housing unit provided.
Affordable housing bonus shall be for residential units that are guaranteed affordable in
accordance with the standards of section 18.2.5.050 Affordable Housing Standards.
18.3.9.060 Parking Standards
All development under this chapter shall conform to the following parking standards, which are
in addition to the requirements of chapter 18.4.3 Parking, Access, and Circulation.
A. On-Street Parking Required. At least one on-street parking space per dwelling unit shall be
provided, in addition to the off-street parking requirements for all developments in an R-1
zone, with the exception of cottage housing developments, and for all developments in
R-2 and R-3 zones that create or improve public streets.
8. On-Street Parking Standards. On-street parking spaces shall be immediately adjacent to the
public right-of-way on publicly or association-owned land and be directly accessible from
public right-of-way streets. On-street parking spaces shall be located within 200 feet of the
dwelling that it is intended to serve. In addition, on-street public parking may be provided
pursuant to minimum criteria established under subsection 18.4.3.060.A.
