City of Aspen Guidelines for Restaurant Encroachments
The following guidelines have been established by the City of Aspen Engineering Department to ensure that
citizens and visitors to Aspen are provided safe, clear, and accessible routes around outdoor merchandising.
The intended encroachment must be detailed and illustrated within the Right -of -Way Encroachment permit
application. The illustration may come in the form of photographs, artist renderings, or any other clear means of
documentation. All conditions will be verified by the City of Aspen Engineering Department.
Improperly placed street furniture, and other items such as bicycle racks and planters can create obstacles for
pedestrians with vision impairments. Care shall be taken to place these items outside the normal travel path.
Any item placed on the sidewalk or pedestrian area must have a minimum height of not less than 27 inches to
prevent tripping hazards.
All renderings, plans, applications, and pertinent information must be submitted on or prior to scheduled liquor
board hearings which pertain to the subject establishment.
The horizontal clear area for pedestrian travel is a minimum of six feet (6') in width. This measurement is to be
taken from the edge of the encroachment to the edge of the walking surface. The walking surface must be solely
within the City Right of Way and shall not include landscape areas, metal tree grates, or other areas that are
accessory to the sidewalk area. When measuring from the street, remember to allow for a two (2) foot door
swing / bumper overhang from the face of the curb.
The vertical clear area for pedestrian travel is a minimum of seven feet (7') in height. This measurement will be
taken from the natural grade (sidewalk) to the base of the lowest feature that penetrates the City of Aspen Right
of Way. This shall include awnings, flower baskets, or other signage that may penetrate the Right of Way.
If alcohol is intended to be served within the outdoor dining area the applicant must clearly state this intent and
shall define the area which will be used to serve patrons alcohol on City property.
