The AHPD is reviewed based upon the Pitkin County Land Use Code in effect on June 1, 1993 and was memorialized via a development guide. This Code is the regulating document for all reviews and development in the AHV. The section of the PD Guide to be amended is the definition of Activity Envelope. The applicant seeks the amendment to create additional provisions for activities not currently included as approved development. The current definition of Activity Envelope allows certain improvements: limited to driveways, grading, landscaping, retaining walls and minor berms. The definition does not include provisions to accommodate storm water management, soil nailing, geothermal wells and systems, interim disturbance areas for utilities, nor irrigation systems. The amendment seeks to update the permitted activities in an activity envelope to align with current development practices and to address activities not specifically covered in the planned development. The amendment is subject to current code; the review criteria associated with sub -section 26.445.110 A, Insubstantial Amendments will be used to evaluate the request. In addition, the applicant shall propose the language for the amendment. A letter in support of the amendment is required from the AHPD HOA (home owner's association).
