PROPOSED LAND USE: The Applicant is requesting to continue the use of a temporary vehicular tent shelter year round until the ambulances can be relocated to the new fire station downtown and the Aspen Valley Hospital carport which is proposed for Phase III of the AVH Master Facilities Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council approve the request for a Growth Management review for an essential public facility at this time to allow the continued use of the temporary vehicular shelter until a permanent building is constructed. SUMMARY: The Applicant requests of the Council to approve the request for growth management review of an essential public facility. Revised 1/30/2009 Page 1 of 6 Photo of the subject property ,~.. ,~, BACKGROUND: On March 10~', 2008, the Aspen City Council approved a Temporary Use Permit to allow the Aspen Ambulance District to erect a vehiculaz tent shelter on an existing concrete pad on the Aspen Valley Hospital Campus. The shelter was requested after the Ambulance District acquired the assets, including two additional vehicles, from Mountain Ambulance services. The approved temporary use permit allows the tent to remain in place from October 15~', 2008 until April 16w, 2009. To remove the tent annually to accommodate restrictions for temporazy use permits, it would cost the ambulance district approximately $12,000 each yeaz. The tent shelter protects ambulances that do not fit into the existing barn until the new fire station downtown and Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan that includes a permanent shelter for the ambulances aze completed. Currently the Aspen Valley Hospital is undergoing a master facilities planning process. If approved, Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan includes a permanent shelter for the ambulances that do not fit into the existing barn, though it will not be constructed unfi12013. The fire station that is currently under construction downtown will also be able to assist in accommodating the Ambulance District vehicles. A Temporary Use Permit is only valid for a period of six months within any one calendar yeaz. To continue past the six month period, the Ambulance District is required to undergo Growth Management Review as it would no longer be considered a temporary use. The Planning and Zoning Commission adopted a resolution to make a recommendation to Council to approve the review for growth management on January 20`h, 2009. LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: The applicant is requesting the following land use approvals from the City Council: • Growth Management Ouota System -Essential Public Facilities pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.470.090 4. Any development to an essential public facility requires the Planning and Zoning Commission, at a public hearing, to make a recommendation to the City Council for approval, approval with conditions or disapproval of the Growth Management Review. The City Council is the final authority. GROWTH MANAGEMENT REVIEW: This application is required to undergo review under Growth Management because it is an addition to an essential public facility. Using the temporary vehicular tent shelter does not create any new employees or new net leasable space. The tent is not intended to be used for commercial or office purposes. The tent will be continued to be used for protecting ambulances from the elements. When Council reviewed the application for a Temporary Use Permit, the applicant made it known that they would be expecting to apply to use the shelter yeaz-round and to maintain use until 2013 when the Master Facility Plan anticipates the completion of the permanent shelter for the ambulances. The applicant intends to relocate two of the ambulances to Aspen Fire Protection locations when construction is completed near the end of 2010. Essential Public Facilities are required to mitigate for growth management on a case by case basis.

EXHIBIT A 26.470.090 Review Standards for Development of Essential Public Facilities The development of an essential public facility, upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the City Council based on the following criteria: a. The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or structure to be an essential public facility (see definition). Accessory uses may also be part of an essential public facility project. The Aspen Valley Hospital Campus including the ambulance operation is considered to be an essential public facility. The proposed vehicular tent shelter is an accessory use to the existing ambulance barn and ambulance operations. It will be used to protect ambulances from foul weather and to keep onboard medicines from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer seasons. The ambulances should have permanent housing whether on this site or combined with the Fire Protection sites by 2013. New employee generation mitigation will be reviewed for the permanent shelter during the Master Facilities Plan process. Staff finds this criterion to be met. b. Upon a recommendation from the Community Development Director, the City Council may assess, waive or partially waive affordable housing mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate or warranted for the purpose of promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals. The employee generation rates may be used as a guideline, but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee needs, pursuant to Section 26.470.100, Calculations. The vehicular tent shelter will be used to park ambulances. There will not be any new net leasable commercial or office space created. There will not be any new staff generated as a result. No growth management mitigation is necessary to be assessed at this time for this proposed addition. Staff finds this criterion to be met. ~ Essential Public Facility - A facility which serves an essential public purpose is available for use or by benefit of, the general public and serves the needs of the community. As defined by the City of Aspen Land Use Code. Revised 1/30/2009 Page 4 of 6 ,. EXHIBIT A (Continued) 26.470.100 Calculations. Emalovee ¢eneration and mitigation. Applicants may request an employee generation review with the Planning and Zoning Commission, pursuant to Section 26.470.110, Growth management review procedure. In establishing employee generation the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following: a. The expected employee generation of the use considering the employee generation pattern of the use or of a similar use within the City or a similar resort economy. The Ambulance District is a function of Pitkin County. Until recently, SkiCo contracted private companies to provide ambulance services at the base of the mountain. Approximately five years ago, the Ambulance District acquired the assets of the private venture, Mountain Ambulance. Since then the number of ambulances and drivers remains the same. Overall ambulance services in the community were not expanded and the total amount of services provided did not change as a result of the amalgamation. Staff finds this criterion to be met. b. Any unique employment characteristics of the operation. No employees will be occupying the tent shelter. Amore permanent shelter will be constructed during Phase III the Master Facilities Plan in 2013. At that time, the permanent shelter will undergo another review for growth management particular to that building. Staff finds this criterion to be met. c. The extent to which employees of various uses within a mixed use building or of a related off-site operation will overlap or serve multiple functions. This is not a mixed use building. There are no longer any off-site operations now that the Ambulance District has acquired the assets of Mountain Ambulance. All Ambulance functions in Aspen operate from this site. Stafffnds this criterion to be met. d. A proposed restriction requiring full employee generation mitigation upon vacation of the type business acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is not anticipated that the use will change prior to 2013. If the use of the tent changes, the applicant will be required to remove the vehicular tent shelter. When Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management mitigation at that time. Staff finds this criterion to be met. e. Any proposed follow-up analysis of the project (e.g. an audit) to confirm actual employee generation. When Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management review at that time. Staff finds this criterion to be met. £ For lodge projects only: An efficiency or reduction in the number of employees required for the lodging component of the project may, at the discretion of the Commission as a means of incentivizing a project, be applied as a credit towards the mitigation requirement of the free-market residential component of the project. Any approved Revised 1/30/2009 Page 5 of 6 ,... ,,., ~.y ds reduction shall require an audit to determine actual employee generation after two complete yeazs of operation of the lodge. This is not a Zodge project, so this item is not applicable. Staff finds this criterion to be met.

Worcester, City Attorney EXHIBIT A 26.470.090 Review Standards for Development of Essential Public Facilities The development of an essential public facility, upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the City Council based on the following criteria: a. The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or structure to be an essential public facility (see definition). Accessory uses may also be part of an essential public facility project. The Aspen Valley Hospital Campus including the ambulance operation is considered to be an essential public facility. The proposed vehicular tent shelter is an accessory use to the existing ambulance barn and ambulance operations. It will be used to protect ambulances from foul weather and to keep onboard medicines from freeaing in the winter and overheating in the summer seasons. The ambulances should have permanent housing whether on this site or combined with the Fire Protection sites by 2013. New employee generation mitigation will be reviewed for the permanent shelter during the Master Facilities Plan process. Staff finds this criterion to be met. b. Upon a recommendation from the Community Development Director, the City Council may assess, waive or partially waive affordable housing mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate or warranted for the purpose of promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals. The employee generation rates may be used as a guideline, but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee needs, pursuant to Section 26.470.100, Calculations. The vehicular tent shelter will be used to park ambulances. There will not be any new net leasable commercial or office space created. There will not be any new staff generated as a result. No growth management mitigation is necessary to be assessed at this time for this proposed addition. Stafffnds this criterion to be met.

Applicants may request an employee generation review with the Planning and Zoning Commission, pursuant to Section 26.470.110, Growth management review procedure. In establishing employee generation the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following: a. The expected employee generation of the use considering the employee generation pattern of the use or of a similar use within the City or a similaz resort economy. The Ambulance District is a function of Pitkin County. Until recently, SkiCo contracted private companies to provide ambulance services at the base of the mountain. Approximately five years ago, the Ambulance District acquired the assets of the private venture, Mountain Ambulance. Since then the number of ambulances and drivers remains the same. Overall ambulance services in the community were not expanded and the total amount of services provided did not change as a result of the amalgamation. Staff finds this criterion to be met. b. Any unique employment characteristics of the operation. No employees will be occupying the tent shelter. Amore permanent shelter will be constructed during Phase III the Master Facilities Plan in 2013. At that time, the permanent shelter will undergo another review for growth management particular to that building. Staff finds this criterion to be met. c. The extent to which employees of vazious uses within a mixed use building or of a related off-site operation will overlap or serve multiple functions. This is not a mixed use building. There are no longer any off-site operations now that the Ambulance District has acquired the assets of Mountain Ambulance. All Ambulance functions in Aspen operate from this site. Staff ftnds this criterion to be met. d. A proposed restriction requiring full employee generation mitigation upon vacation of the type business acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is not anticipated that the use will change prior to 2013. If the use of the tent changes, the applicant will be required to remove the vehicular tent shelter. When Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management mitigation at that time. Staff finds this criterion to be met. e. Any proposed follow-up analysis of the project (e.g. an audit) to confirm actual employee generation. When Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management review at that time. Staff finds this criterion to be met. f For lodge projects only: An efficiency or reduction in the number of employees required for the lodging component of the project may, at the discretion of the Commission as a means of incentivizing a project, be applied as a credit towards the mitigation requirement of the free-mazket residential component of the project. Any approved Revised 3/12/2009 Page 5 of 6 ,.~., _~~ ..., ,, reduction shall require an audit to determine actual employee generation after two complete years of operation of the lodge. This is not a lodge project, so this item is not applicable. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Revised 3/12/2009 Page 6 of 6 ~utg, ~ ~ C O Lamont Planning Services, LLc 725 Melissa Lane .

The Board of County Commissioners is the Board of Directors but the County contracts with Aspen Valley Hospital t~ manage the service. The District's facilities are located on the Hospital Campus;and improvements aze coordinated with the Hospital. I Several yeazs ago; the District acquired the assets of Mountain Ambulance service which increased the nber of ambulances in our fleet from four to six. The acquisition also requires us to sport injuries from the ski slopes increasing our service calls. These changes necessltalte the need for better protection for our vehicles fmm the weather in order to maintain~them in a ready response mode. Our barn is only large enough fot three ambulances] and last yeaz we gained the City's approval to install a temporary shelter over an existing pazking pad. Today, we seek ~ longer term of approval to keep the shelter in place until the hospital constructs Phase ~II of their Master Facilities Plan which will include a permanent ambulance sheltek to house our vehicles. However, in the event Phase III is not constructed by April of 2013 the District will look for funds to build a permanent garage in the same locatjon as the temporary shelter; obviously pending any City of Aspen approvals. j Please find attac~ed to this cover letter our response to the standards of Section 26.470.090 (4) Growth Man gement for an Essential Public Facility. On behalf of the ;Aspen Ambulance District, Leslie Lamont of Lamont Planning Services, LLC is our auth razed representative in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Leslie if you have any questions or need further information. Sincerely, ~~ Richazd Walker Aspen Ambular District p. 1 ..,. `~ Section 26.470.090 GMQS City Council Application for an Essential Public Facility I. General Overview The Aspen Ambulance District seeks GMQS approval, as an essential public facility, for the long term use of an existing shelter for ambulances located on the Aspen Valley Hospital campus. The District received a temporazy use permit and an 8040 Greenline approval to install a temporary shelter adjacent to the current ambulance barn to protect three ambulances from the weather. The temporary use permit was effective Mazch 23, 2008. The shelter has been installed and has proved critical in protecting vehicles from the weather. The temporary use is set to expire in April 16, 2009 at which time the shelter must be removed. The District would like to avoid setting up and taking down the shelter every winter until a permanent shelter can be constructed. It is estimated that this procedure would cost the District $12,000 per season (it cost $6,000 to set up the first time). Additionally, setting up and taking down the structure may damage the fabric and the current ambulance barn has very little storage space. Therefore the District seeks a GMQS approval to set up the shelter and keep the shelter up until April of 2013. Aspen Valley Hospital proposes a permanent carport shelter for ambulances in Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan which is anticipated to be constructed in 2013. In the event Phase III construction will not be completed by 2013 the District will look for funding to construct a permanent gazage at the location of the shelter. The installation of the shelter did not require site work, excavation, or the removal of any vegetation. The shelter is located in a paved parking area that served as parking for the District's vehicles that are now sheltered. As a condition of the temporary use permit the District committed to installing two 4-6 foot evergreen trees on the hillside behind the shelter to help block the view of the shelter from the adjacent neighbor. The trees were not installed before the winter season this yeaz but will be installed at the first opportunity in the spring of 2009. The adjacent property owner has agreed to this timeframe for installation of the trees. The shelter is necessary to provide protection from snow storms. When a large storm settles over Aspen, over a foot of snow, it typically takes at least a half day to remove snow from vehicles that are pazked outside. The winter season is a very busy time for the District transporting injured people from the ski slopes, roughly 300 trips per year. Advanced life support calls are also handled by the District and total approximately 950 calls per year. Ideally, the ambulances also need protection from the harsh sun at this altitude. The District bases their operation out of a two story 3,830 squaze foot "barn." The second floor of the building consists of two bedrooms for employees (which serve as shift quarters), two offices, a training room and combination kitchen living room space. The first floor is comprised of three bays for three ambulances, lockers and storage. Aspen Ambulance District GMQS Application for Shelter Page 1 December 2008 ,..., ~. ,_, ,., Until recently, the District's fleet consisted of four ambulances and one squad truck. The truck is ~ primarily used for backcountry assistance. The garage provided adequate shelter for the fleet until the District acquired the assets of Mountain Ambulance increasing the fleet from four to six ambulances. One ambulance has been relocated to the North 40 fire Station and two ambulances and the squad truck are parked in the temporary shelter. The shelter is proposed as a temporary solution because one ambulance will be relocated to the new Fire District Headquarters in downtown Aspen. However, that will not occur until the end of 2010 when the station is finished. In addition, a permanent gazage for ambulances is proposed as part of the Hospital's MFP. This garage is proposed in Phase III of the Hospital's plan and is anticipated to be built in 2013. Completion of Phase III will provide enough sheltered space for the District's fleet. The location of this shelter is on an existing paved pazking pad next to the ambulance barn. The pad is tucked into the hillside and supported by a railroad tie wall. The pad is correctly sized to accommodate the shelter and required very little work for installation. The footprint of the shelter is 34' x 26' and two ambulances and the squaze truck aze parked inside. The shelter did not require a foundation. The opportunity to heat the shelter is still being explored. In the meantime the vehicles will be plugged into the bam for heating purposes to keep drugs from freezing and to activate an engine block heater. Please refer to the shelter specifics found in the Appendix. The shelter is located on the Aspen Valley Hospital's parcel C. Pazcel C is currently in the land use review process as a Planned Unit Development proposal for a Master Facilities Plan. A GMQS review for the ambulance shelter to enable the shelter to remain in place until Phase III could not occur until the MFP conceptual PUD review was complete. Unfortunately, completion of that phase of review may not occur until the temporary use permit of the current shelter has expired. Although Phase III of the MFP includes a permanent carport shelter for ambulances that will support the current ambulance bam, Final PUD review of Phase III is not intended to occur until Phase II has been constructed 7I.

PROPOSED LAND USE: The Applicant is requesting to continue the use of a temporary vehicular tent shelter year round until the ambulances can be relocated to the new fire station downtown and the Aspen Valley Hospital carport which is proposed for Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to Council to approve the request for a Growth Management review for an essential public facility at this time to allow the continued use of the temporary vehicular shelter until a permanent building is constructed. SUMMARY: The Applicant requests of the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend approval to Council for the request for growth management review of an essential public facility. Photo of the Revised 1/15/2009 Page 1 of 6 ~.~ ~. :~~ BACKGROUND: On Mazch 10`h, 2008, the Aspen City Council approved a Temporary Use Permit to allow the Aspen Ambulance District to erect a vehiculaz tent shelter on an existing concrete pad on the Aspen Valley Hospital Campus. The shelter was requested after the Ambulance District acquired the assets, including two additional vehicles, from Mountain Ambulance services. The approved temporary use permit allows the tent to remain in place from October 15`h, 2008 until April 16`h, 2009. To remove the tent annually to accommodate restrictions for temporary use permits, it would cost the ambulance district approximately $12,000 each year. The tent shelter protects ambulances that do not fit into the existing barn until the new fire station downtown and Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan that includes a permanent shelter for the ambulances aze completed. Currently the Aspen Valley Hospital is undergoing a master facilities planning process. If approved, Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan includes a permanent shelter for the ambulances that do not fit into the existing barn, though it will not be constructed unti12013. The fire station that is currently under construction downtown will also be able to assist in accommodating the Ambulance District vehicles. A Temporary Use Permit is only valid for aperiod,-af six months within any one calendaz year. To continue past the six month period, the Ambulance District is required to undergo Growth Management Review as it would no longer be considered a temporary use. The Planning and Zoning Commission is now requested to make a recommendation to Council to approve, approve with conditions or deny the review for growth management. LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: The applicant is requesting the following land use approvals from the Planning and Zoning Commission: • Growth Management Ouota System -Essential Public Facilities pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.470.090 4. Any development to an essential public facility requires the Planning and Zoning Commission, at a public heazing, to make a recommendation to the City Council for approval, approval with conditions or disapproval of the Growth Management Review. The City Council is the final authority. GROWTH MANAGEMENT REVIEW: This application is required to undergo review under Growth Management because it is an addition to an essential public facility. Using the temporary vehiculaz tent shelter does not create any new employees or new net leasable space. The tent is not intended to be used for commercial or office purposes. The tent will be conxinued to be used for protecting ambulances from the elements. When Council reviewed `the'kpplication for a Temporary Use Permit, the applicant made it known that they would be expecting to apply to use the shelter yeaz-round and to maintain use until 2013 when the Master Facility Plan anticipates the completion of the permanent shelter for the ambulances. The applicant intends to relocate two of the ambulances to Aspen Fire Protection locations when construction is completed near the end of 2010. Essential Public Facilities are required to mitigate for growth management on a case by case basis. Revised 1/15/2009 Page 2 of 6 ~. .W.+ Staff Comments The Ambulance District is a function of Pitkin County. They have a management contract with the Aspen Valley Hospital District. The Ambulance District has historically been established as a sepazate district. In the past, SkiCo contracted a private ambulance service from vazious entities over time. Approximately five years ago,,at~ Ambulance District absorbed the private venture, Mountain Ambulance. The number ;of. ambulances and drivers remains the same. Overall ambulance services in the community were not expanded and the amount of services provided did not change as a result of the amalgamation. RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Department staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Council approve the request for Growth Management Review at this time with the following conditions: 1. The applicant will not be permitted to use the vehiculaz tent shelter after December 151, 2013. A permanent shelter must be constructed and growth management mitigation will apply prior to or at that time. 2. As requested in the temporary use permit, the applicant is required to plant two spruce trees that are four feet high and to work with Ron Moorhead, the adjacent property owner regarding their placement. These trees are required to be planted by June 15`, 2009. RECOMMENDED MOTION: If the Planning and Zoning Commission chooses to recommend approval for the request, they may use this motion "I move to make a recommendation to City Council to approve the request for the growth management review with the conditions noted."

True, Special Counsel ~ ~ ..: EXHIBIT A 26.470.090 Review Standards for Development of Essential Public Facilities The development of an essential public facility, upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the City Council based on the following criteria: a.. The Community Development Director has determined the primary use and/or structure to be an essential public facility (see definition). Accessory uses may also be part of an essential public facility project. The Aspen Valley Hospital Campus including.. the ambulance operation is considered to be an essential public facility. The proposed vehicular tent shelter is an accessory use to the existing ambulance barn and ambulance operations. It will be used to protect ambulances from foul weather and to keep onboard medicines from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer seasons. The ambulances should have permanent housing whether on this site or combined with the Fire Protection sites by 2013. New employee generation mitigation will be reviewed for the permanent shelter during the Master Facilities Plan process. Staff finds this criterion to be met. b. Upon a recommendation from the Community Development Director, the City Council may assess, waive or partially waive affordable housing mitigation requirements as is deemed appropriate or warranted for the purpose of promoting civic uses and in consideration of broader community goals. The employee generation rates may be used as a guideline, but each operation shall be analyzed for its unique employee needs, pursuant to Section 26.470.100, Calculations. The vehicular tent shelter will be used to park ambulances. There will not be any new net leasable commercial or office space created. There will not be any new staff generated as a result. No growth management mitigation is necessary to be assessed at this time for this proposed addition. Stafffrnds this criterion to be met.

Applicants may request an employee generation review with the Planning and Zoning Commission, pursuant to Section 26.470.110, Growth management review procedure. In establishing employee generation the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following: a. The expected employee generation of the use considering the employee generation pattern of the use or of a similaz use within the City or a similar resort economy. The Ambulance District is a function of Pitkin County. Until recently, SkiCo contracted private companies to provide ambulance services at the base of the mountain. Approximately five years ago, the Ambulance District acquired the assets of the private venture, Mountain Ambulance. Since then the number of ambulances and drivers remains the same. Overall ambulance services in the community were not expanded and the total amount of services provided did not change as a result of the amalgamation. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. b. Any unique employment chazacteristics of the operation. No employees will be occupying the tent shelter. Amore permanent shelter will be constructed during Phase III the Master Facilities Plan in 2013. At that time, the permanent shelter will undergo another review for growth management particular to that building. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. c. The extent to which employees of vazious uses within a mixed use building or of a related off-site operation will overlap or serve multiple functions. This is not a mixed use building. There are no longer any off-site operations now that the Ambulance District has acquired the assets of Mountain Ambulance. All Ambulance functions in Aspen operate from this site. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. d. A proposed restriction requiring full employee generation mitigation upon vacation of the type business acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is not anticipated that the use will change prior to 2013. If the use of the tent changes, the applicant will be required to remove the vehicular tent shelter. When Phase III of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management mitigation at that time. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. e. Any proposed follow-up analysis of the project (e.g. an audit) to confirm actual employee generation. When Phase 111 of the Master Facilities Plan is reviewed, the permanent shelter will undergo growth management review at that dime. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. £ For lodge projects only: An efficiency or reduction in the number of employees required for the lodging component of the project may, at the discretion of the Commission as a means of incentivizing a project, be applied as a credit towards the mitigation requirement of the free-market residential component of the project. Any approved Revised 1/15/2009 Page 5 of 6 ,~~ ~~ reduction shall require an audit to determine actual employee generation after two complete yeazs of operation of the lodge. This is not a lodge project, so this item is not applicable. Staff finds this criterion to be met. ~ ~` r.

Stan Gibbs asked why the P&Z Meetings began at 4:30pm. Cliff Weiss and LJ Erspamer requested "redline" in documents that have been changed. DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST LJ Erspamer said that his wife works for the title company that did the title research for the Shining Star Foundation, which is where the Jewish Center wants to relocate. PUBLIC HEARING: 401 CASTLE CREEK ROAD, ASPEN AMBULANCE DISTRICT, GROWTH MANAGEMENT REVIEW LJ Erspamer opened the public hearing for 401 Castle Creek Road, Aspen Ambulance District. Errin Evans, Community Development Planner, stated that currently the Aspen Ambulance District had a temporary use permit to allow the vehicle tent shelter in front of the ambulance barn located at the Aspen Valley Hospital campus. The Ambulance District would like to continue using the shelter until a permanent building is constructed during phase 3 of the master facilities plan. A temporary use permit only allows fora 6 month use out of a calendar year and it was not feasible to take the tent down every 6 months. Evans said the Ambulance District was classified as an essential public facility, which is reviewed on a case by case basis for growth management. No new employees are generated as a result of using the tent shelter and staff is viewing this as absorption of ambulance services. When the permanent structure is constructed growth management review will be required at that time. Leslie Lamont, planner for the Aspen Ambulance District, introduced Rich Walker, the director of the district. Rich Walker stated that he took over this position in 1979; about 3 years ago they hired a consultant to look at planning issues for the district. The majority of the employees requested the need for shelter for 3 of the 6 ambulances and currently there was a building with 3 bays, which houses 3 of the ambulances. Walker said that without approval for the tent it 2 ~.. ~ & Zoning Meetine -Minutes - Januan would have to be taken down April 16`h; it costs $6,000.00 to put the tent up and $6,000.00 to take it down. Walker said they bought the assets from Mountain Ambulance but not the business. Leslie Lamont said they were hoping to dovetail with the hospital master facilities plan and have a deadline for this tent of December 1,2013unless this does not go forward. Lamont utilized drawings to show the ambulance shelter in the future and the exhibit (the underlying site plan) was in the Commissioner's packets. Bert Myrin asked about the 4 foot trees. Leslie Lamont replied that typically when you buy spruce they were in the 4 to 6 foot range. Lamont said the closest neighbor was Ron and Erlinda Moorehead and they look out over the parking lot; the Ambulance District committed to 2 trees on the hillside and the Mooreheads asked to put off planting these trees until this year. LJ Erspamer asked if this tree planting was being done because the Mooreheads requested it or from the Ambulance District. Rich Walker replied that it was something offered to the Mooreheads by the Ambulance District initially generated by the Ambulance District. Leslie Lamont said they wanted to work with Ron as to where he wanted the trees planted. Erspamer asked if the trees needed to be required in the resolution. Errin Evan responded they were a requirement of the temporary use permit. Public Comments: Steve Miller, public, stated that the tent has benefited Mountain Ambulance in past winters; there was a lot of snow build up on the ambulances and the tent is a benefit to shield them. Shae Ware, public, stated that she also worked for the Ambulance District and that having the tent prevents a lot of ice buildup on the ambulances. Jim Richardson, public, said that he was the operations director for the Ambulance Service and said another thing to remember was the amount of equipment involved as well, not just the ambulances but all of the equipment that is inside the ambulances that is the importance of a fast response. LJ Erspamer closed the public hearing. MOTION: Bert Myrin moved to recommend to City Council to approve the request for growth management review with conditions for the Aspen Ambulance 3 District; seconded by Michael Wampler. Erspamer, yes; Gibbs, yes; Bloom yes; Weiss, yes; Wampler, yes; Myrin, yes. APPROVED 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING: ASPEN JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER AT THE SILVER LINING RANCH LJ Erspamer opened the public hearing for 1490 Ute Avenue the Aspen Jewish Community Center SPA Amendment. The legal notice was provided and Jim True said that it was compliant. Jason Lasser, Special Projects Planner for the City of Aspen, distributed emails that were received by Community Development today. Lasser said that this was an SPA Amendment, GMQS, Special Review for Parking, Stream Margin and 8040 Greenline Reviews. The Planning & Zoning Commission's task was to review the Special Planned Area Amendment. Cliff Weiss asked about the 2 letters from the public that stated they did not receive notice for the public hearing. Jim True responded that the legal notice appears in order; there was an affidavit of mailing. Alan Richman stated that the public notice was done according to what the City of Aspen requires; he went to the GIS Department to obtain the most current records. Richman said that if the property owners are not diligent in keeping the Assessor up to date on their mailing addresses then the address would not be correct and there was a 300 foot radius for noticing. Richman said that the Rabbi has had multiple contacts with Mr. Bellock and Mr. Reagan about this project. Jason Lasser said there were 2 reviews by the Planning & Zoning Commission to go to City Council; one is for the Specially Planned Area (SPA Amendment) and the other is for Growth Management Review. P&Z has 3 reviews that are final at P&Z; Special Review for Parking to add 10 spaces, Stream Margin Review and 8040 Greenline Review. Lasser said the SPA Amendment allows for flexibility for uses and for dimensional requirements; the SPA Amendment is to allow for arts, cultural and civic uses on the upper bench. Lasser said the applicant was looking to amend the building envelope to accommodate revised parking on the west edge, the property line adjacent to the Aspen Club. Lasser said the changes to the existing building were primarily interior changes to accommodate the Jewish Community Center; what was being added to the property was a small cabin to the north edge of the property. Staff recommends approval of the SPA Amendment. 4 City Planning & Z ing Meeting -Minutes - Janua~ey 20, 2009 Lasser said for Special Events they would drop off and pick up at the Rio Grande Parking Garage and the preschool at Koch Lumber Yard Park. Richman said for weddings the people would be picked up at their hotels. Lasser said for the GMQS the employee generation would be determined by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The applicant proposed based on research were 5.75 employees, which was approximately 60% of the affordable housing mitigation that APCHA requested. Lasser said the Special Review for Parking was adding 10 spaces as well as the shuttle and a 10 foot wide pedestrian and bike path that connects from Ute Avenue directly to the front door of the Community Center. Lasser said the 8040 Greenline doesn't touch any development or buildings it just crosses the driveway. Lasser said the Stream Margin Review meets the criteria and was previously approved and there were no significant changes to the lower bench being made. Staff recommends approval of all of the reviews. Cliff Weiss asked if the cabin will be for 1 FTE. Alan Richman replied that for each bedroom you get credit for 1.75. Weiss asked where the others were housed. Richman replied inside the main building. LJ Erspamer asked what the 30% of the open space meant on page 24. Richman replied that it would be 30% of the site of 6 '/z acres was required to be open space. Bert Myrin asked about the 60% of FTEs housed. Jennifer Phelan responded that this was an essential public facility and there was not a table for employee generation but each essential public facility was reviewed separately. Phelan said that the commission could lock in that 60% mitigation and if something changes then the applicant would come back with a change. Mike Wampler spoke to Shirley Ritter about child care; infants require more employees than middle school children; he asked if that played into this at all. Richman replied that they think they know what their employee generation will be; there was not a magic formula so they are looking at their planned operation. Richman said there will be an audit 2 years after they operate and if turns out that the generation is somewhat in excess then they will be responsible for more and they will adjust; if it turns out to be less they are still providing 3 housing units. .© Alan Richman introduced Rabbi Mintz; Susan Richman helping with the site plan; Art Chabon, the architect; Jeff Ream helping with the traffic study and Neil Karbank, legal counsel. Richman provided the background of the property; he agreed with the staff presentation and resolution with the changes. Richman said that the Silver Lining Ranch operated from 1999 to 2006 and the foundation decided to move the operation out of this property and relocated to southwest Colorado, outside of Durango; there has been very little activity on this property for the last several years. In 2007 the foundation submitted a petition to the City Council asking to either disconnect the property from the City, which would revert back to a County parcel of land and would have gone to the County Commissioners to see if they could revert back to R-15 single family zoning or ask the City Council to rezone to RR, the lowest intensity residential use or R-15. City Council denied both requests and made a clear determination that they wanted the property to stay an institutional use. Richman said the Jewish Community Center is appropriate for this property. Richman said the existing condition were the property as a whole is 6 '/z acres on 2 benches, an upper bench and lower bench; there was a slope between the 2 benches that drops about 20 to 30 feet. The upper bench was rather flat and was immediately adjacent to the Aspen Club, which was located on the map on the first page of the memo. Rabbi Mintz thanked City staff and the Commission for all of their time. Rabbi Mintz gave the background of the Jewish Community Center which was founded about 8 years ago and purchased the L'Auberge Cabins on Main Street about 5 years ago. Rabbi Mintz said that after seeing the Silver Lining Ranch several times he realized that it was perfect for their needs and because it takes advantage of the beauty of Aspen with almost no work and looking at the Main Street location for children was not that compatible with all of the traffic. Richman said although this was a significant project the proposed changes to the property were very minor. They were making an internal remodel to each of the 3 floors in the building and there were some line of sight changes. The second floor will stay the same with the bedrooms used as employee housing and the Rabbi's office; the lower level will be the 3 preschool classrooms. Richman said the traffic projections were from Ute Avenue where the entrance was located and public transportation is emphasized as the way to access this property and begins with the preschool. Richman said the number of parking spaces proposed is adequate to handle the religious services on Friday evenings and 6 Saturday mornings and adult education. Richman said that they will inform parents when signing preschool children up that there were shuttles and parents that drive routinely would be charged an additional fee. Richman said the same shuttle services would be used for special events such as major religious celebrations like the Jewish New Year, bar mitzvahs and weddings; the special events would be limited to 10 per year. Richman said employees living on site will be discouraged from having a car except for the caretaker who needs a vehicle. Richman said the Aspen Club will have car-sharing and welcomed this applicant to take part in that car-sharing and they have agreed to place bicycles on the property. Cliff Weiss asked the existing FAR of the building. Richman replied it was approved at 14,000 square feet. Jeff Ream, senior transportation engineer, said that he took a lot of the discussions of operations from the original Main Street site and applied them to this site. Ream said this was a fairly unique site; there were typical daily activities such as the daycare, employee trips and the less frequent activities of the services and classes and special events. Ream said this site had limited parking and the applicant was taking an active approach to limiting traffic through travel demand management measures most specifically the preschool and special event shuttles. Ream said the Crosstown Shuttle provides service twice an hour; the Aspen Club Shuttle has been proposed and for the employees there was car-sharing and bicycles. The memo contained the traffic studies. Richman reminded the commission of the major project benefits to create a place of worship, education and culture to serve to serve the Aspen Community. The Community Center will provide desperately needed preschool facility for approximately 40 children and will be built with no public subsidy. Richman said the property has been sitting idle for the last 3 years. Richman asked for commission approval. Cliff Weiss asked what the traffic volumes looked like on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Jeff Ream responded on Friday night and Saturday morning the background traffic was lower; there were about 15 additional vehicles added to the traffic. Background traffic was the club and the residences on Ute Avenue. Richman said that his understanding was that the Wildwood School does drop off and pickup at Koch Park. Bert Myrin asked about the parking spaces being for employees only. Richman responded the goal was for 20 parking spaces because they believe that number 7 City Planning & ZOn1I1Q Meeting -Minutes -January 20, 2009 will accommodate the basic day to day uses of this site. Myrin asked if the employees would take 10 of the spaces. Richman replied there were multiple employees living on site and they would be discouraged from having cars and the spaces would not be dominated by employees. Myrin was concerned that parking was being doubled and at the same time trying to discourage traffic. Myrin asked if the city would fund the Crosstown Shuttle service or if they funded the Crosstown Shuttle for the Aspen Club. Myrin asked if this project could participate in some funding for the Crosstown Shuttle. Stan Gibbs asked what the Aspen Club traffic analysis was. Gibbs asked if the base line for this project included the Aspen Club traffic generation; he said if that number was not included then it was a piecemeal approach toward transportation for that street (Ute). Ream said that he spoke to the Aspen Club and tried to get as much information as possible but the Aspen Club was not in a position to give those numbers out; they were still figuring it out. Mike Wampler said that according to his number crunching if there were 12 hours a day at 200 an hour that came up to 2200; generating a car every 3 minutes so that would be anon-issue. Gibbs asked if the preschool shuttle was just used for the preschool. Richman replied that it was used for the preschool and special events. Rabbi Mintz said there were only about 4 or 8 cars that come on Friday night and less on Saturday morning because there is the concept of not driving on the Jewish Sabbath, which was something to keep in mind. Wampler said there was a locked gate there and suggested the fine for driving kids should be substantial. Dina Bloom asked if they were going toward an agreement with the Aspen Club for a ride share program, car share program, bike program and shuttle. Richman said there were 2 ways to look at the Aspen Club Shuttle which today operated on a demand only basis and if the project that is on the table were to go forward that shuttle service would expand considerably. MOTION: Cl~Weiss moved to extend the meeting until 7:30 pm; seconded by Michael Wampler. All in favor, APPROVED. Myrin asked if the neighbors of Koch Park were notified. Myrin asked if there was a gate and asked if a gate was allowed in the city. Weiss asked why they were adding a 700 square foot structure. Rabbi Mintz replied that he wasn't comfortable with the caretaker living in the building with 8 children. Phelan said that community development require accessory dwelling units to be detached; affordable housing units can be inside a building but encourage detached units. Erspamer requested a site visit and an avalanche survey to be included in the next packet. Public Comments: 1. Tom Regan, public, stated that he was president of the Stillwater open space association; he said Fabi Benedict carved out Lot 5 for the permanent home for the Silver Lining Ranch, Kids Foundation. Regan said that the restrictions and covenants were to provide protection to the homeowners to resort to a single family home if Andrea's foundation moved out. 2. Bill Krimmel, public, stated that he has been involved with the kids at the Silver Lining Ranch since 1998 when the building was being built. Krimmel stated that he was in favor of this project. 3. Janie Rosenberg, public, stated that daycare was needed in this town. Rosenberg said that if there was a way to house teachers here that would be a huge benefit. 4. Barbara Fleck, public, said that she lives at Stillwater and they want to keep this a quiet neighborhood; she spoke to members of the synagogue and wanted to know where they were putting the summer camp because their covenants won't allow it. 5. Rick Neiley, public, stated that he represented Sister Andrea Yaeger. Neiley said that in 2007 City Council denied the request for this property to revert back to a single family use originally permitted by Pitkin County. Neiley said that City Council gave very specific instructions to find an organization that would continue non-profit work on this property and this proposal is an almost perfect fit for the existing facilities, for the nature of the infrastructure and the benefits to the community. Neiley said that the parking and transportation issues had a framework to make it work. Neiley said that he studied the covenants and there was nothing in those covenants that say that the use can't change. 6. Larry Rosenfeld, public, said if the concern was having kids back out there; Aspen has kids now. Weiss said that a site visit was needed for parking, traffic, and the layout of the new parking spaces. 9 0 MOTION: Cliff Weiss moved to continue the public hearing for the Jewish Community Center to February 17, 2008; seconded by Bert Myrin. All in favor. APPROVED. Discussion: Weiss, Myrin and Erspamer stated that the parking and transportation concerned them the most. There will be a site visit at noon on Tuesday, February 17`h. Myrin requested the minutes from the Council meeting mentioned on page 13 of the memo. Erspamer asked for a zoning map in the Sister Cities Meeting Room. Adjourned at 7:30pm.

CURRENT ZONING & USE Public (PUB) PROPOSED LAND USE: Temporary Use Permit for a vehicular tent shelter STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use Permit. 4~ ~ SUMMARY: The Applicant requests a Temporary Use Permit for a vehiculaz tent shelter for a six month period to start no later than October 15, 2008. REQUEST OF COUNCIL: City Council is asked to grant a Temporary Use Permit, pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.450.030, for the assembly of a temporary tent as a parking shelter for emergency vehicles at the hospital campus. BACKGROUND: The ambulance district utilizes an existing two story structure on the hospital campus to shelter three (3) ambulances as well as run their operations out of the structure. A fourth ambulance and squad truck aze currently parked on a paved parking pad adjacent to the Ambulance District,Temporary Use Permit Staff Report, Page 1 of 3 ,~, .~ structwe (five total vehicles). The facility has adequately housed the district's needs; however, the district has recently acquired two (2) additional ambulances (seven total vehicles). The Applicant is proposing to erect a tent structure for the shelter of three (3) ambulances and locate the tent on the existing paved pazking pad ad~~cent to the ambulance "barn." The district anticipates sheltering the vehicles at this location umil two of the ambulances can be located on Aspen Fire Protection District property (the downtown fire station and the North Forty fire station) and until substantial improvements to the hospital campus are made. As noted in the application, the benefit of the parking shelter is the protection of the ambulances form inclement weather (substantial snow storms) and to assist in providing additional protection for the onboazd medicines from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer. DISCUSSION: The Applicant is requesting a Temporary Use Permit for a temporary shelter with a Footprint of 24' by 36' and a maximum ridge height of 22'-2". The tent consists of a steel structwe covered with a white canvas cover and is proposed to be located in the southwest corner of the campus on an area that is currently delineated and screened by a retaining wall and landscaped berm. The request is for a six month Temporary Use Permit to start no later than October 15. 2008; however the Applicant is expecting to ask for the ability to maintain the structwe yeaz-round until 2013 through a subsequent reauest associated with the Aspen Valley Hospital's Master Facility Plan development application that was .recently submitted to the Community Development Denartment. . s~ As mentioned previously, the Applicant expects to permanently locate two of the ambulances at Aspen Fire Protection District locations. These two stations are anticipated to be completely constructed by the end of 2010. As part of the hospital's master plan proposal, a permanent facility would be developed for the ambulances located on the hospital campus; however, it is currently projected that the work would not be complete until 2013. The use of the tent as a parking shelter is consistent with the current storage and operation of ambulances on the site. The proposed location is towazds the rear of the hospital campus and will have little impact on surrounding buildings on the campus. The greatest impact will be for the neighboring residence to the south of the site. Although somewhat screened by the existing retaining wall and landscaped berm, the tent will be visible by the neighbor, particulazly in the winter (Exhibit B). The Temporary Use review criteria are outlined in Land Use Code section 26.450.030; Staff Review is attached as Exhibit A. REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS: Staff has received no comments of concern from referral agencies with regard to the subject application and the Applicant has discussed the proposed tent with the building department. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of a Temporary Use Permit for the tent shelter. Staff finds that this one-time Temporary Use Permit is consistent with the permitted uses on the hospital site and provided a benefit to the community. There will be some visual Ambulance District,Temporary Use Permit Staff Report, Page 2 of 3 ,.~. !.! ~,,. impacts to the neighboring residence and staff would recommend the Applicant consider installing some additional landscaping on the berm to screen the tent, particularly in light of the - anticipated subsequent request for a more permanent yeaz-round allowance. The temporazy tent is proposed to be in operation no later than October 15, 2008 and the current request is for a six month time period. PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to approve Resolution No. _, Series of 2008, approving the request for a six month Temporazy Use Permit at the Aspen Valley Hospital campus for the purpose of erecting a temporary tent no later than October 15, 2008." ~~ CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: ATTACHMENTS: EXHIBIT A -Review Criteria and Staff Findings Exhibit B -Photographs of site with story poles.

LOCATION: Parcel C, Aspen Valley Hospital District Subdivision, commonly known as 401 Castle Creek Road. CURRENT ZONING & USE Located in the Public (PUB) zone district. Lot C contains 19.1 acres or approximately 832,085 sq. ft. of lot area. PROPOSED LAND USE: The Applicant is requesting to develop a master plan for the redevelopment and expansion of the hospital campus. PLANNING AND.ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends conceptual approval of a Planned Unit Development with conditions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council request additional information, if necessary, on the space needs/national standards that result in the size of the building proposed, pose any initial questions council may have, and continue the heazing to January 26`h. Page 1 of 7 Photo of the hospital's main entry. LAND USE REQUESTS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES: The Applicant is requesting the following land;use approval from the City Council to redevelop and expand the hospital site: 'r'' r • Conceptual Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the development of a site specific development plan pursuant to Land Use Code Chapter 26.445 (City Council is the final review authority after considering a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission). Conceptual PUD review before the City Council is the second step in a four step review process. Once the conceptual application is heard by the Commission (step one), the City Council reviews the application and recommendations of the Commission at a public hearing. If approved by City Council, the Applicant may then make an application for Final PUD review before the Planning and Zoning Commission (step three). City Council will then consider the Final PUD application as the fourth and final step in the review. Additional land use approvals necessary for this project can be consolidated with the Final PUD application. As noted in the application, the applicant will be proposing redevelopment in four (4) phases to maintain existing operations throughout the redevelopment and will be requesting Final PUD approval for each phase prior to the start of the subject phase, rather than final approval of the entire project. Due to the scale of this project, the review .of the proposed master facilities plan has been scheduled over three meetings. At each meeting certain aspects of the project will be reviewed so that the Council may comprehensively evaluate the project. The following schedule and topics aze proposed: January 12, 2009: Project Overview: Operational Needs, Program, Trends, Phasing, Architecture/Design, and questions raised by council January 26, 2009: Employee Housing, Site Improvements (grading, drainage, trail), Noise Analysis, Transportation (parking generation, trail easement, site, roads, bikes, trails, parking garage), and Housekeeping Items February 9, 2009: Conditions of approval, Vote The intent of each of these heazings is to focus on specific parts of a project and allow the Council the opportunity to identify any major questions or concerns that the Council would like to have the Applicant address further, either at this stage of review (conceptual) or at a later, more specific stage of review (final). The proposed master facilities plan is being developed as a Planned Unit development (PUD). As such, the purpose of a PUD, as noted in-the Land Use Code "is to encourage flexibility and innovation in the development of land which:' A. Promotes the purposes, goals, and objectives of the Aspen Area Community Plan. B. Achieves a more desirable development pattern, a higher quality design and site planning, a greater vaziety in the type and character of the development, and a greater compatibility with Page 2 of 7 ~^, -°~, ... ~ existing and future land uses than would be possible through the strict application of the underlying zone district provisions. C. Preserves natural and man-made features of historic, cultural, or scenic value. D. Promotes more efficient use of land, public facilities, and governmental services. E. Incorporates an appropriate level of public input to the planning process to ensure sensitivity to neighborhood and community goals and objectives." These aze overazching principles to consider when evaluating this project in addition to the specific PUD review criteria. The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) reviewed the Application on July ls`, July 15`h, August 5`h and August 19, 2008. The minutes from these meetings are attached as Exhibit B. The Applicant received a recommendation of Conceptual PUD approval, with conditions, pursuant to Resolution 23, Series 2008 (Exhibit C): }~~' PROJECT SUMMARY: The Applicant, Aspen Valley Hospital District, LLC has requested approval to redevelop and expand the existing hospital campus which was annexed into the city in 2003. The focus of the proposal is on Pazcel C of the campus, where the hospital, senior center/assisted living (Whitcomb Terrace), ambulance barn, heli-pad and the hospital CEO's residence is located. Parcel A of the campus includes the Schultz building and Mountain Oaks employee housing. Pazcel C contains approximately 19.1 acres or 832,085 squaze feet.

Since the hospital's development in the 1970s, changes have occurred in the health care industry necessitating modification in the current delivery of services as well as consideration for the long-term delivery of services. The hospital has been analyzing current hospital standards and national guidelines as well as developing a formal needs assessment to develop a master facilities plan that provides for the delivery of healthcare service. Examples of trends that have changed since the original construction of the hospital include a shift to outpatient caze and a greater demand for diagnostic testing. Staff Comments: Staff expects the Applicant to go into greater detail on the current trends in healthcare and how these trends impact the current and future operational needs of the building. The Applicant should provide information on how the future needs of the building's program dictate [he size of the proposal. Any national standards on recommended square footages may help the Council and staff better understand how the proposed program meets certain size standards and why it results in the size of the building being proposed. Phasin¢: ~~ The project is divided into four phases, so: that hospital operations can continue throughout construction and anticipates a five to seven year construction schedule. Each phase of development allows the hospital to continue day to day operations. Following is an overview of -~ the proposed phases of development. The square footage proposed in the following tables are gross numbers (not floor azea calculations) and are conceptual in nature. Page4of7 ~, ~., Phase I: This phase is currently underway and includes the renovation and expansion of the - obstetrics ward. As part of their annexation into the city, the hospital was previously approved to develop an additional 6,100 squaze feet of floor area. Subsequent to the annexation, the floor area was approved for use as either patient caze or obstetrics. Mitigation associated with this phase will be reviewed under the final PUD application (at a subsequent meeting) before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Table 3, below, provides a breakdown of renovated and new square footage for Phase I. Table 3: Renovated and New Construction.

As noted in the land use code, it is "a Facility which serves an essential public purpose, is available for use by, or benefit of, the general public and serves the needs of the community." The Commercial Design Guidelines are not applicable to this project as only commercial, lodging and mixed use projects (with a commercial component) are required to meet the guidelines. As such, the PUD criteria with regard to architectural character will be the basis for evaluating the architecture and design. The three review criteria in question aze as follows: Section 26.445.050 E, Architectural Character. '""~ 1. Be compatible with or enhance the visual. character of the City, appropriately relate to "a existing and proposed architecture of,t~ie property, represent a character suitable for and indicative of the intended use and re5'~ect the scale and massing of nearby historical and ,F . cultural resources. 2. Incorporate, to the extent practical, natural heating and cooling by taking advantage of the property's solar access, shade and vegetation and by use of non- or less-intensive mechanical systems. 3. Accommodate the storage and shedding of snow, ice and water in a safe and appropriate manner that does not require significant maintenance. Staff Comments: Staff believes the current conceptual design of the building provides an appropriate character for the site and its location within the City. As an institutional building, the hospital has specific design requirements to functionally serve the public. The proposed materials and design conceptually represent a character appropriate for the use of the building. Additionally, the hospital is committed to receiving LEEDS certification and developing a `green' building. Any steps to be energy efficient are worthwhile. ~: :the previously d. sc detsilad discussion on affordehl~.housing is sq'WlVI~'the second hearingatuary 2 yrPerltly do affordable housirlg is proposed on .. r,:tir~-pus; but the hos ' oes h8 _ '.pther h~bldings being used for affprdeble housing , watt the=pity.

Review Criteria conceptual, final, consolidated and minor PUD. A development application for conceptual, final, consolidated, conceptual and final or minor PUD shall comply with the following standards and requirements. Due to the limited issues associated with conceptual reviews and properties eligible for minor PUD review, certain standards shall not be applied as noted. The burden shall rest upon an applicant to show the reasonableness of the development application and its conformity to the standards and procedures of this Chapter and this Title. A. General requirements. 1. The proposed development shall be consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan. Staff believes that a number of the goals in the Aspen Area Community Plan are met at a conceptual level including: "containing ;development...to ensure development is contained and sprawl minimized," "maintain "and improve the appeal of walking and bicycling," and "protect and enhance the natural environment." The development is located with the urban growth boundary, has multimodal opportunities for getting to the hospital, and minimizes the development footprint of the site. 2. The proposed development shall be consistent with the character of existing land uses in the surrounding area. The proposed development is on a large tract of land that acts as a campus setting for the hospital, senior housing, ambulance barn, and health and human services building. The property is close to open space and some dense neighborhoods. The development is an expansion of an existing use. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 3. The proposed development shall not adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area. Staff believes that this development will not adversely affect the future development of the area. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 4. The proposed development has either ba~eCr granted GMQS allotments, is exempt from GMQS, or GMQS allotments are.'available to accommodate the proposed development and will be considered prior to, or in combination with, final PUD development plan review. Not Applicable at this point in the review. The Applicant will be required to make a Growth Management Application as part of the Final PUD. Under the current proposal, the application will be reviewed as an essential public facility, and may Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page I of 10 require growth management approval for the development of new commercial ~'"'+ space/medical clinics (net leasable) and the development of affordable housing. `"'' B. Establishment of Dimensional Requirements: The final PUD development plans shall establish the dimensional requirements for all properties within the PUD as described in Genera[ Provisions, Section 26.445.040, above. The dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district shall be used as a guide in determining the appropriate dimensions for the PUD. During review of the proposed dimensional requirements, compatibility with surrounding land uses and existing development patterns shall be emphasized. The PUD development plans establish dimensional requirements for all properties in PUD. The dimensions of the PUD shall bememorialized during the Final PUD review. The proposed dimensional req''uirements for the subject property are appropriate and compatible with'the following influences on the property: a. The character of, and compatibility with, existing and expected future land uses in the surrounding area. The dimensional requirements allow for the expansion of the hospital while minimizing the footprint of the hospital and maintaining open space. At a conceptual level, the proposed building expansion and its location on the site ~ is compatible with the character of the area. '~ b. Natural or man-made hazards. No known natural hazards exist on the lot. The relocation of the heli-pad will reduce a potential man-made hazard. Staff finds this criterion to be met. c. Existing natural characteristics of the property and surrounding area such as steep slopes, waterways, shade, and significant vegetation and [andforms. Most of the development proposed is within areas of the site that have already been impacted by development. The applicant is proposing to maintain a large percentage of open space and natural vegetation on the site. Staff finds this criterion to be met. d. Existing and proposed man-made characteristics of the property and the surrounding area such as noise, traffic, transit, pedestrian circulation, parking, and historical resources. The applicant is proposing a service loop road with certain improvements to separate circulation by use. Improvements with regard to vehicular circulation Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 2 of 10 ~J are proposed as well as pedestrian improvements. At a conceptual level, staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. The proposed dimensional requirements permit a scale, massing, and quantity of open space and site coverage appropriate and favorable to the character of the proposed PUD and of the surrounding area. The Applicant is proposing to concentrate the redevelopment to an area that is already developed, minimizing the impact of the new development and maintaining a large amount of undeveloped land on the site. As noted earlier, a large portion of the site is undeveloped and the proposal will maintain that feeling of openness. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 3. The appropriate number of off-street prtrking spaces shall be established based on the following considerations: a. The probable number of cars used by those using the proposed development including any non-residential [and uses. b. The varying time periods of use, whenever joint use of common parking is proposed. c. The availability of public transit and other transportation facilities, including those for pedestrian access and/or the commitment to utilize automobile disincentive techniques in the proposed development. d. The proximity of the proposed development to the commercial core and general activity centers in the city. The Applicant provided a summary of the parking needs analysis in the application. The consultant undertaking the analysis considered alternative modes of transportation that can be used to get to the hospital and reduced the estimated number of off-street parking spaces needed for the redevelopment. Staff finds this criterion to be met. is 4. The maximum allowable density. within a PUD may be reduced if there exists insufficient infrastructure capabilities. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be reduced if.• a. There is not sufftcient water pressure, drainage capabilities or other utilities to service the proposed development. b. There are not adequate roads to ensure fire protection, snow removal and road maintenance to the proposed development. The applicant is not proposing any housing for this review. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 3 of 10 ,. ~ r, 5. The maximum allowable density within a PUD may be reduced if there exists natural hazards or critical natural site features. Specifically, the maximum density of a PUD may be reduced if.• a. The land is not suitable for the proposed development because of ground instability or the possibility of mudflow, rock falls or avalanche dangers. b. The effects of the proposed development are detrimental to the natural watershed, due to runoff, drainage, soil erosion and consequent water pollution. c. The proposed development will have a pernicious effect on air quality in the surrounding area and the Ciry. d. The design and location of any proposed structure, road, driveway or trail in the proposed development is not compatible with the terrain or causes harmful disturbance to critical natural features of the site. The applicant is not proposing any housing for this review. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 6. The maximum allowable density within a PUD may be increased if there exists a significant community goal to ¢e achieved through such increase and the development pattern is compatiblle with its surrounding development patterns and with the site's physical constraints. a. The increase in density serves one or more goals of the community as expressed in the Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) or a specific area plan to which the property is subject. b. The site's physical capabilities can accommodate additional density and there exists no negative physical characteristics of the site, as identified in Subparagraphs 4 and 5, above, those areas can be avoided or those characteristics mitigated c. The increase in maximum density results in a development pattern compatible with and complimentary to, the surrounding existing and expected development pattern, land uses and characteristics. Notes: a. Lot sizes for individual lots within a PUD may be established at a higher or lower rate than specified in the underlying Zone District as long as, on average, the entire PUD conforms to the maximum density provisions of the respective Zone District or as otherwise established as the maximum allowable density pursuant to a final PUD Development Plan. b. The approved dimensional requirements for all lots within the PUD are required to be reflected in the final PUD development plans. The applicant is not proposing any housing for this review. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. C. Site Design. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the PUD enhances public spaces, is complimentary to the site's natural and man-made features and the adjacent public ~ Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 4 of 10 ;,, '~ ~,.+ spaces, and ensures the public's health and safety. The proposed development shall """ comply with the following: 1. Existing natural or man-made features of the site which are unique, provide visual interest or a specific reference to'the past, or contribute to the identity of the town are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. A lazge portion of the site is undeveloped and in a natural state. The redevelopment is proposed to maintain that feel and limit the developed area of the 19 acre site. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. Structures have been clustered to appropriately preserve significant open spaces and vistas. As mentioned previously, a lazge portion of the site is undeveloped and in a natural state. The redevelopment is proposed so as to maintain that feel and limit the developed area of the 19 acre site. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 3. Structures are appropriately oriented to public streets, contribute to the urban or rural context where appropriate, and provide visual interest and engagement of vehicular and pedestrian movement. The proposed building is generally oriented, towards the public street but is set back from the street which contributes, to the ir~ore open feel of Castle Creek Road. Existing vegetation currently screens the hospital. 4. Buildings and access ways are appropriately arranged to allow emergency and service vehicle access. The City of Aspen Fire Mazshal has reviewed the proposal, and has noted that final details on the service loop road will be necessary in the future. Staff finds this criterion to be met at a conceptual level. 5. Adequate pedestrian and handicapped access is provided. According to the Application, the project will comply with all applicable requirements. Improvements are being proposed for the pedestrian trail. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 6. Site drainage is accommodated for the proposed development in a practical and reasonable manner and shall not negatively impact surrounding properties. According to a letter submitted by the ..Applicant's engineer, site drainage will be handled with retention ponds in the more na~ural, undeveloped area of the site. Staff finds this criterion to be met at a conceptual Sevel. Exhibit H - PUD Review Criteria Page 5 of 10 r" 7. For non-residential [and uses, spaces between buildings are appropriately '"°' designed to accommodate any programmatic functions associated with the use. "°"" The Application has developed the, master plan to accommodate the multiple functions at the site: helicopter access; ambulance and service access, as well as patient access. Staff finds this criterion to be met. D. Landscape Plan. The purpose of this standard is to ensure compatibility of the proposed landscape with the visual character of the city, with surrounding parcels, and with existing and proposed features of the subject property. The proposed development shall comply with the following: The Applicant provided a draft landscaping plan as part of the original Conceptual application. An updated version will be provided as part of the Final PUD Application. 1. The landscape plan exhibits a well designated treatment of exterior spaces, preserves existing significant vegetation, and provides an ample quantity and variety of ornamental plant species suitable for the Aspen area climate. The Applicant has provided some conceptual landscaping on the site plan in the application and has developed the landscaping to correspond with the two development zones of the project: developed and natural. A number of new plantings are proposed with a more intensive!/traditional landscaping near the hospital and natural grasses, serviceberry and gambel oak in the natural areas. A final landscape plan will be submitted as part of the Final PUD application. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. Significant existing natural and man-made site features, which provide uniqueness and interest in the landscape, are preserved or enhanced in an appropriate manner. The undeveloped area of the site provides a natural open setting. Enhancements in this area need to preserve these features. 3. The proposed method of protecting existing vegetation and other landscape features is appropriate. The Applicant will provide a final landscape plan in with the Final PUD. This will ensure existing landscaping is preserved or mitigated for if it is to be removed. Staff finds this criterion to be met. E. Architectural Character. % s 1. Be compatible with or enhance the visual character of the City, appropriately relate to existing and proposed architecture of the property, represent a Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 6 of 10 -I l ~/ ~~ character suitable for and indicative of the intended use and respect the scale and massing of nearby historical and cultural resources. A variety of materials are being proposed for the redevelopment of the hospital: glass, masonry, and stone. As an institutional type of use, the conceptual design reflects the use of the building with a palette of materials that fit well on the site. 2. Incorporate, to the extent practical, natural heating and cooling by taking advantage of the property's solar access, shade and vegetation and by use of non- orless-intensive mechanical systems. The Applicant has noted that the building is expected to be designed to achieve LEED certification and that it is anticipated that the building is designed and constructed in an environmentally sustainable way. Staff finds this criterion to be met. a f, 3. Accommodate the storage and shedding' of snow, ice and water in a safe and appropriate manner that does not require signiftcant maintenance. The Applicant has submitted a conceptual plan for snow removal and storage as part of the application. A final detailed plan will be required to be addressed at final application. Staff finds this criterion to be met. F. Lighting. I. The purpose of this standard to ensure the exterior of the development will be lighted in an appropriate manner considering both public safety and general aesthetic concerns. 2. Al[ exterior lighting shall in compliance with the outdoor lighting standards unless otherwise approved and noted in the fena[ PUD documents. Up-lighting of site features, buildings, landscape elements and lighting to call inordinate attention to the property is prohibited for residential development. The Applicant will comply with all lighting regulations in place. Amore detailed plan will be provided as part of the Final PUQ, C. Common Park, Open Space, or Recreation ~rea. If the proposed development includes a common park, open space, or recreation area for the mutual benefit of all development in the proposed PUD, the following criteria shall be met: 1. The proposed amount, location, and design of the common park, open space, or recreation area enhances the character of the proposed development, considering existing and proposed structures and natural landscape features of the property, provides visual reliejto the property's built form, and is available to the mutual benefit of the various land uses and property users ojthe PUD. Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 7 of 10 2.

There is proposed an adequate assurance through a legal instrument for the permanent care and maintenance~~f open spaces, recreation areas, and shared facilities together with a deed restrjFction against future residential, commercial, or industrial development ; There are no common park, open space or recreation areas proposed by the Applicant. The site contains the existing Nordic trail and Pedestrian trail that have easements allowing for public use on private property. Changes or improvements to these two trails will need to be approved by city staff. The Applicant is proposing a new passive use area in the vicinity of the proposed retention ponds. There is no public access easement being proposed at this time for the passive use area. Staff finds this criterion to be met at a conceptual level. H. Utilities and Public facilities. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the development does not impose an undue burden on the City's infrastructure capabilities and that the public does not incur an unjustified financial burden. The proposed utilities and public facilities associated with the development shall comply with the following: ~ ~,.. 1. Adequate public infrastructure facilities exist to accommodate the development. d. The Water, Sanitation, and Electric."Departments reviewed this application and determined there is adequate service for this development. This will be addressed in greater detail at Final PUD. 2. Adverse impacts on public infrastructure by the development will be mitigated by the necessary improvements at the sole cost of the developer. At this time no adverse impacts on the public infrastructure are anticipated. This will be addressed in greater detail at Final PUD. 3. Oversized utilities, public facilities, or site improvements are provided appropriately and where the developer is reimbursed proportionately for the additional improvement. This criterion will be addressed at Final PUD when a finalized site plan and associated materials are available for City Departments to review. I. Access and Circulation. (Only standards 1 &2 apply to Minor PUD applications) The purpose of this standard is to ensure°tke development is easily accessible, does not ~ unduly burden the surrounding road=:network, provides adequate pedestrian and Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 8 of l0 ~ ,1 ~ recreational trail facilities and minimizes the use of security gates. The proposed access and circulation of the development shall meet the following criteria: 1. Each lot, structure, or other land use within the PUD has adequate access to a public street either directly or through an approved private road, a pedestrian way, or other area dedicated to public or private use. Staff believes that all structures and uses will have appropriate access to a public street. A thorough traffic impact analysis with final application will detail any necessary improvements related to access. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 2. The proposed development, vehicular access points, and parking arrangement do not create traffic congestion on the roads surrounding the proposed development, or such surrounding roads are proposed to be improved to accommodate the development. r Staff believes the conceptual design of adding a service access road, potential improvements to Doolittle Drive and a new parking circulation scheme will ease congestion at this site. Staff does find this criterion met. 3. Areas of historic pedestrian or recreational trail use, improvements of, or connections to, the bicycle and pedestrian trail system, and adequate access to significant public lands and the rivers are provided through dedicated public trail easements and are proposed for appropriate improvements and maintenance. The proposed development has existing trail easements on the property. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 4. The recommendations of the Aspen Area Community Plan and adopted specific plans regarding recreational trails, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and transportation are proposed to be implemented in an appropriate manner. The Parks department has reviewed the application and found that no additional easements are necessary at a conceptual level. Staff finds this criterion to be met. I I. 5. Streets in the PUD which are proposedS or recommended to be retained under private ownership provide appropriate dedication to public use to ensure appropriate public and emergency access. There are no internal streets proposed as part of this PUD. Staff finds this criterion to be met. 6. Security gates, guard posts, or other entryway expressions for the PUD, or for lots within the PUD, are minimized to the extent practical. Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 9 of 10 ("` ti There aze no gates or guard posts proposed as part of this PUD. Staff finds this '~'"' criterion to be met. `"" J. Phasing of Development Plan. (does not apply to Conceptual PUD applications) The purpose of this criteria is to ensure partially completed projects do not create an unnecessary burden on the public or surrounding property owners and impacts of an individual phase are mitigated adequately. If phasing of the development plan is proposed, each phase shall be defined in tMe adopted final PUD development plan. No phasing is proposed as part of this development. `' c r, ,1q Exhibit H -PUD Review Criteria Page 10 of 10 r"* r'+. s..,..' ~...d+ RESOLUTION N0.23, (SERIES OF 2008) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ASPEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVE A CONCEPTUAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL MASTER FACILITIES PLAN FOR THE ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL DISTRICT, LEGALLY DESCIBED AS PARCEL C, ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL DISTRICT SUBDIVSION AND COMMONLY DESCRIBED AS 401 CASTLE CREEK ROAD Parce[ ID: 273512307801 WHEREAS, the Community Development Department received an application from the Aspen Valley Hospital District, represented by Leslie Lamont of Lamont Planning Services, requesting the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a Conceptual Development Plan for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the redevelopment and expansion of the hospital through development of a master plan; and, WHEREAS, the Community Development Department received referral comments from the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, City Engineering, Fire Protection District, Pazks Depaztment, Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority, Pitkin County and the Transportation Department as a result of the Development Review Committee meeting; and, WHEREAS, said referral agencies and the Aspen Community Development Department reviewed the proposed Conceptual PUD and recommended approval with conditions; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 26.445 of the Land Use Code, Conceptual PUD approval may be granted by the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing after considering recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Community Development Director, and relevant referral agencies; and, WHEREAS, Conceptual PUD review by the Planning and Zoning Commission requires a public heazing and this application was reviewed at multiple public hearings where the recommendations of the Community Development Director and comments from the public were heazd; and, 'u WHEREAS, during a regular meeting dri' July 1, 2008 the Planning and Zoning Commission opened a duly noticed public heazirig to consider the project and continued the public hearing to July 15, 2008 for further discussion.
