PH Annexation Crowson PA 2005-008

 

Council Communication

Planning Action 2005-008 - Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map change from Jackson County zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for an approximately 1.6 acre parcel located at 593 Crowson Road. The portion of the parcel adjacent to Crowson Road is proposed in the Residential Overlay (R-Overlay) that allows a residential component and in the Detail Site Review Zone which requires additional building design features.

Meeting Date: May 3, 2005 Primary Staff Contact: Maria Harris, 552-2045 harrism@ashland.or.us
Department: Planning Secondary Staff Contact: John McLaughlin, 552-2043, mac@ashland.or.us
Contributing Departments:
Approval: Gino Grimaldi

Statement:
There are three public hearings on the agenda for the May 3, 2005 meeting (CDBG Consolidated Plan, CDBG Action Plan, PA 2004-150/87 and 65 Fourth Street) that are more time sensitive than the review of Planning Action 2005-008, 593 Crowson Road. Since it is unlikely that the Council will be able to review this fifth item before the 9:30pm deadline, Staff recommends opening the public hearing and continuing the item to the May 17, 2005 meeting. The announcement will need to include the date, time and place of the May 17, 2005 meeting. The verbal announcement of the public hearing satisfies noticing requirements. Staff has contacted the applicants and appellants about this delay so they will not have to attend the meeting.

The record for Planning Action 2005-008 was distributed prior to the regular packet for the May 3, 2005 meeting to provide additional time for the Mayor and Council to review the materials. The planning action was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on March 8, 2005. At the March 8 meeting, the Planning Commission approved the Site Review portion of the application, and recommended approval of the Annexation. Chapter 18.108 requires annexations to be reviewed and approved by the City Council. The public hearing is scheduled for the May 3, 2005 Council meeting.

Background:
On December 21, 2004, the applicant filed the request for the above referenced planning action. On January 20, 2005, the application was deemed complete by staff. The 120-day limit expires on May 19, 2005. The applicant granted a 60-day extension to the 120-day time limit resulting in the new time limit of July 18, 2005. Should the hearing run long, the Council has the option of continuing the hearing to the June 7, 2005 meeting, with adoption of findings at a later date.

A public hearing was noticed and scheduled to be held in front of the full Planning Commission on February 8, 2005. The action was delayed to the subsequent meeting due to a noticing error. A public hearing was properly noticed and scheduled to be held in front of the full Planning Commission on March 8, 2005 at which time testimony was heard and evidence was submitted.

At its meeting on March 8, 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed the application for Annexation, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map change from Jackson County zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for an approximately 1.6 acre parcel located at 593 Crowson Road. The portion of the parcel adjacent to Crowson Road is proposed in the Residential Overlay (R-Overlay) that allows a residential component and in the Detail Site Review Zone which requires additional building design features. The application includes a request for Site Review approval for development of a business complex including offices, light industrial space. The proposed development includes construction of four buildings, three residential units in a mixed-use building, and the conversion of the existing house into office space. A Tree Removal Permit is requested to remove six trees on the site.

On March 8, the Planning Commission approved the Site Review request and Tree Removal Permit by a six to two vote. The decision of the Planning Commission on the Site Review component of the application is the final decision of the City unless appealed to the City Council. The motion by the Planning Commission included a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the Annexation request by a seven to one vote. The City Council makes the final decision with regards to Annexation.
