RE: Aspen Theatre in the Park - Temporary Use Permit for the Theatre Tent in Rio Grande Park, Second Reading of Ordinance 23, Series 1994 SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends approval of the temporary use permit for the theatre tent and theatrical productions from May 15 through September 20. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: A temporary use permit was granted last year for the Aspen Theatre in the Park for the same uses requested this year. First reading of Ordinance 23, 1994 was held on May 23, 1994. BACKGROUND: The theatre group has staged summer performances in a tent at the Rio Grande Art Park since 1986. The temporary use procedure was established in 1992 for temporary uses which may or may not be allowed within a given zone district. The Applicant has not yet applied for or received approval of a permanent theatre facility at Art Park via the Rio Grande Final SPA process, therefore they must receive a temporary use permit. CURRENT ISSUES: There are no new issues associated with this year's temporary use application. The Applicant is aware of the risks associated with the late application for their permit. They are proceeding to erect the tent at their own risk. At first reading, Council asked the applicant and staff to consider alternatives to the shiny plastic cover used for the disassembled tent during the winter. Staff sought input from other City departments, but the only response was to shop at the surplus store in Glenwood Springs for a camouflage patterned tarp. Planning is not sure this would be an improvement over what is currently used. If cloth fabric were used to reduce the shine, it would probably attract dirt and be equally unattractive. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no discernable public costs associated with this temporary use request. STAFF COMMENTS: The same tent and layout is proposed for this year's theatre complex. Please refer to the application information (Exhibit "A") for text and graphic descriptions. • 0 Review criteria and staff response are attached as Exhibit "B". RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends approval of the Aspen Theatre in the Park temporary use for the tent and theatrical productions in the Rio Grande Art Park from May 15 through September 20, 1994. ALTERNATIVES: Council could elect to approve a different duration for the temporary use or they could deny the request. PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to approve second reading of Ordinance 23 for a temporary use permit for the Aspen Theatre in the Park tent and productions as presented in their application dated April 27, 1994." CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: Ordinance 23, Series 1994 Exhibits: "A" - Application Information "B" - Review Criteria/Responses "C" - Published Public Notice • city counceazhibit � Appravod 19 By Ordinance ASPEN THEATRE IN THE PARK P.O. BOX 8677 ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 (303) 925-9313 Carol Loewenstern, Producing Director 925-9565 Pat Fallin, President, Board of Trustees 925-4075 TO: Kim Johnson, City of Aspen Planning Department FROM: Aspen Theatre in the Park Aspen Theatre in the Park is requesting a temporary use permit for the theatre tent on the Rio Grande Parcel which includes the Art Park. The temporary use permit is requested for a period of 5 months. The erecting of the tent would commence May 15 and the dismantling will be September 15-20. The theatre has operated in this location for the past eight summers. The theatre has operated in the same location since the summer of 1986 and is in large part resonsible for the reclaimation of the area. The first summer a group of theatre volunteers undertook a cleaning and planting project which resulted in the Art Park. The theatre tent is consistent with the Master Plan for the Rio Grande Parcel. Representatives of Theatre in the Park have worked closely with Leslie LaMont, the Parks Department and the planning committee for the area to ensure that the theatre is compatible with the neighborhhood and the uses envisioned for the Rio Grande parcel. The theatre has operated in the same location for the past 8 summers with minimal, if any, impacts and has been compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Theatre in the Park will erect the same attractive white tent as last summer. The tent has interior structural supports of aluminum. A platform was built to provide for seating and the stage which was stored on site for the winter. A platform to house the lighting equipment as well as partitions will be constructed inside the tent. A propane heating system which was installed last summer will also be in use. The shed for the portable restroom facilities remains. An attached site plan shows the square footage and location of the tent and facilities. The attached site plan shows the location of the theatre tent which is approximately in the center of the park below the parking facilitiy. The location of the tent is such that it is accessible by public transportation, pedestrian/bicycle traffic and by automobile with adequate parking at the city parking garage. There will not be parking available next to the theatre, but we do request at least 3 spaces be available for delivery vehicles necessary for nightly operation of the theatre and to provide for handicapped parking. Theatre in the Park, together with the Aspen Art Musem located across the river, the Art Park, the walking trails and the tranquility of the residential area along with the activities of the other facilities has brought a revitalization to the long neglected Rio Grande parcel. The Rio Grande Park has become an activity center combining the arts and outdoor activities while connecting the town with the river. The tent will be erected after May 15, depending on the weather conditions, with a crew of approximately 2 to 6 people and will be dismantled after September 6 with the same crew. During the operation of the theatre there is a set crew of 2 -5 people per day with a maximum of 15 during rehersals. The performances are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday and 8:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Rehersal hours will range from approximately 6- 10 p.m., six nights per week, except for the two tech nights" when use of the tent may go until midnight. The tent seats 100 people. During the set-up, dismantling and operation of the theatre there is minimal traffic impacts consisting of 3 - 4 vechicles moving equipment and sets. • is. _7777- I Ne►.J s�JA�E rOr- V;ZAINAGE S I u� P EX15tII1G, NCO $R iGK UAW<0,I \ ( \ IJ� ptzoPNJG h�IZt;G J , ! �.: NE (luau N16 > OPoFF l ` 1 1 " 'PING, POLES.

The location, size, design, operating characteristics, and visual impacts of the proposed use. RESPONSE: Please see the attached plans for the tent. The Theatre Company will be setting up an approximately 60' x 80' and 26' in height. The tent will seat about 100 patrons and provides storage space. The proposed temporary use will operate from May 15, 1994 - September 20, 1994. Performances will occur four nights a week from 6:30-9 pm. on Wednesdays and Thursdays and 8-10:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays beginning June 29, 1994. Rehearsal hours will range from approximately 6-10 pm., six nights a week. Two "tech nights" (sound and light set-up) require staff to be present until midnight. The existing access road that is used during the winter for the snow dump operation will provide access for all service and deliveries to the theatre, as well as access for handicap vehicles. Three parking spaces will be available for these users�;� YIUE e B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity. RESPONSE: The Rio grande property is zoned Public with an SPA overlay. The Master Plan process has recognized an Art oriented theme for this property. The combination of the Art Museum across the river with the Art Park and Theatre tent promote the use of this property for the arts. The Theatre Company is a compatible use with the Art Theme that has been recommended in the conceptual SPA Rio Grande master plan. Other uses on the site are snow dump/melt operations (to be moved), the Art Park and the Kayak course. Active recreation on the Rio Grande playing field has been encouraged until the valley wide rail utilizes the field for a terminal. C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels, and neighborhood character. RESPONSE: The location of the Theatre tent is within walking distance of the parking garage. "Snow dump road" will accommodate vehicles for delivery and handicapped 1 • accessibility purposes only, and parking at the tent is only for service/delivery and the disabled. The Theatre uses temporary toilet facilities located in a shed. In addition, the theatre is in the center of the City and very accessible to bikes and pedestrians. Performances will be held four nights a week, up to 10:30 pm. Rehearsals are generally during the early evening but during "tech nights" work at the tent may go until midnight. D. The duration of the proposed temporary use, and whether a temporary use has previously been approved for the structure, parcel, property or location as proposed in the Application. RESPONSE: Although the Theatre has been performing on this site for eight summers, there was never a formal review process in place for Council and staff's review. The Theatre Company has received funding from the City and causal consent to use the property for approximately eight years. Opening night is scheduled for June 29, 1994. The Theatre has requested a temporary use permit from May 15, 1994 to September 20, 1994. E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed. RESPONSE: The purpose of the Public zone district is to provide for the development of governmental and quasi - governmental facilities for cultural, educational, civic, and other governmental purposes. Because of the public and cultural nature of this area and the location in the center of the community, staff supports this temporary use. F. The relation of the temporary use to conditions and character changes which may have occurred in the area and zone district in which the use is proposed. RESPONSE: The Theatre Company is becoming an integral part of the entire enhancement program of this site. The conceptual Rio Grande SPA master plan recommends the continued use of the seasonal tent as an appropriate land use on this site. G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health, safety or welfare. RESPONSE: This temporary use will provide an additional cultural amenity for this site. The tent provides a casual 2 evening use along the river adding vitality to a public space that has been so abused. Aspen Theatre in the Park should do nothing but enhance the general public health, safety or welfare of this community. 3 PUBLIC NOTICE RE: ASPEN THEATRE IN THE PARK TEMPORARY USE REVIEW NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 13, 1993, at a meeting to begin at 5:00 pm before the Aspen City Council, City Council Chambers, 130 S.

The first summer a group of theatre volunteers undertook a cleaning and planting project which resulted in the Art Park. The theatre tent is consistent with the Master Plan for the Rio Grande Parcel. Representatives of Theatre in the Park have worked closely with Leslie LaMont, the Parks Department and the planning committee for the area to ensure that the theatre is compatible with the neighborhhood and the uses envisioned for the Rio Grande parcel. The theatre has operated in the same location for the past 8 summers with minimal, if any, impacts and has been compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Theatre in the Park will erect the same attractive white tent as last summer. The tent has interior structural supports of aluminum. A platform was built to provide for seating and the stage which was stored on site for the winter. A platform to house the lighting equipment as well as partitions will be constructed inside the tent. A propane heating system which was installed last summer will also be in use. The shed for the portable restroom facilities remains. An attached site plan shows the square footage and location of the tent and facilities. The attached site plan shows the location of the theatre tent which is approximately in the center of the park below the parking facilitiy. The location of the tent is such that it is accessible by public transportation, pedestrian/bicycle traffic and by automobile with adequate parking at the city parking garage. There will not be parking available next to the theatre, but we do request at least 3 spaces be available for delivery vehicles necessary for nightly operation of the theatre and to provide for handicapped parking. Theatre in the Park, together with the Aspen Art Musem located across the river, the Art Park, the walking trails and the tranquility of the residential area along with the • • activities of the other facilities has brought a revitalization to the long neglected Rio Grande parcel. The Rio Grande Park has become an activity center combining the arts and outdoor activities while connecting the town with the river.
