MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Ireland and Aspen City Council ~~/~/~
FROM: Chris Bendon, Community Development Duector rte'" I
MEMO DATE: January 19, 2010 `
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2010
RE: Land Use Code Amendments -Ordinance No. 4, Series 2010.
• Expiration of Development Order
• Building Permits
Second Reading & Public Hearing.
SUMMARY:
After the approval of a land use application an applicant receives a "Development
Order." This is a document issued by the Community Development Department
summazizing the approved "site specific development plan" and the creation of a vested
property right. A notice of development approval is also published with the same
information. An example of a development order is attached as Exhibit A.
The period of statutory vested rights is three years. (This is a minimum timeframe
established by the State.) After this period, the development order remains valid but the
project is subject to changes in the Land Use Code plus the growth management
allotments expire. For the applicant to avoid this potential the City's Land Use Code
requires issuance of a building permit within the vesting period.
The issuance requirement raises two issues: From time to time, the City's review times
for building permits can be very lengthy. Depending upon the scope of the project,
review times can be from a few weeks to upwazds of a yeaz. In busier times, even a
simple permit can take months for issuance. The second issue is the practice of issuing
"phased permits." Larger projects typically receive permits for early phases of a project
while the later phases are still under review. For example, a project may receive an
Access/Infrastructure permit to complete initial site work then they may proceed with an
Excavation permit. These early phase permits enable a project to get underway while
more detailed components of a project's main permit, such as a lighting plan or bathroom
accessibility, aze still being reviewed.
Staff believes a landowner's requirement should be to submit a complete permit
application within the vesting period. Unlike issuance, submission is an action entirely
within the control of an applicant. This would avoid fairness issues regarding the
timeliness of review and the question of which phase of a phased permit meets the
vesting requirement. Staff is proposing this amendment.
R~~, `~,
-s 4
Staff is also proposing amendments to the Building Permit section of the code for two
reasons: This section needs more defmition azound acceptance of a complete permit
application. Staff is continuously pressured to accept partial applications, applications
prior to recording the necessary plats, applications prior to resolving billing issues from a
planning review, etc. While much of this can be addressed with operational policies, the
code should be clearer. Second are changes to the review and issuance language. This
section contains language inordinately cumbersome and inconsistent with. practice. Staff
is proposing language to tighten the permit acceptance protocol and to reflect the
department's review and issuance practice.
Attached are three versions of code text -Existing, track changes showing the
amendments, and the Ordinance showing a clean version of the proposal.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adoption of these amendments by a
3-1 vote. Staff recommends Council adoption of the proposed code amendments.
CHANGES FROM FIRST READING:
Staff made two changes to the proposed text. First is additional language added to
subparagraph 3 under "Compliance Review" based on comments made by the Mayor. In
addition to the Development Order, this section now references all types of approval
documents. Second is an additional sentence added to the end of "Expiration of
Development Order" intended to clarify that the validity of a development order extends
through the time in which an applicant is actively pursuing and executing their building
permit.
APPLICANT:
City of Aspen
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Text Amendment. At a duly noticed public hearing, the Commission shall recommend by
Resolution the City Council to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application.
City Council is the final review authority.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed amendments.

RE~ Land Use Code Amendments
• Expiration of Development Order
• Building Per its
Ordinance No. ~, Series 2010. First Reading.
Second Reading scheduled for January 25, 2010.
SUMMARY:
After the approval of a land use application an applicant receives a "Development
Order." This is a document issued by the Community Development Department
summarizing the approved "site specific development plan" and the creation of a vested
property right. A notice of development approval is also published with the same
information. An example of a development order is attached as Exhibit A.
The period of statutory vested rights is three years. (This is a minimum timeframe
established by the State.) After this period, the development order remains valid but the
project is subject to changes in the Land Use Code plus the growth management
allotments expire. For the applicant to avoid this potential the City's Land Use Code
requires issuance of a building permit within the vesting period.
The issuance requirement raises two issues: From time to time, the City's review times
for building permits can be very lengthy. Depending upon the scope of the project,
review times can be from a few weeks to upwazds of a yeaz. In busier times, even a
simple permit can take months for issuance. The second issue is the practice of issuing
"phased permits." Larger projects typically receive permits for early phases of a project
while the later phases aze still under review. For example, a project may receive an
Access/Infrastructure permit to complete initial site work then they may proceed with an
Excavation permit. These eazly phase permits enable a project to get underway while
more detailed components of a project's main permit, such as a lighting plan or bathroom
accessibility, aze still being reviewed.
Staff believes a landowner's requirement should be to submit a complete permit
application within the vesting period. Unlike issuance, submission is an action entirely
within the control of an applicant. This would avoid fairness issues regarding the
timeliness of review and the question of which phase of a phased permit meets the
vesting requirement. Staff is proposing this amendment.
Staff is also proposing amendments to the Building Permit section of the code for two
reasons: This section needs more definition azound acceptance of a complete permit
application. Staff is continuously pressured to accept partial applications, applications
prior to recording the necessary plats, applications prior to resolving billing issues from a
planning review, etc. While much of this can be addressed with operational policies, the
code should be cleazer. Second aze changes to the review and issuance language. This
section contains language inordinately cumbersome and inconsistent with practice. Staff
is proposing language to tighten the permit acceptance protocol and to reflect the
department's review and issuance practice.
Attached aze three versions of code text -Existing, track changes showing the
amendments, and the Ordinance showing a clean version of the proposal.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adoption of these amendments by a
3-1 vote. Staff recommends Council adoption of the proposed code amendments.
APPLICANT:
City of Aspen
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Text Amendment. At a duly noticed public hearing, the Commission shall recommend by
Resolution the City Council to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application.
City Council is the final review authority.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed amendments.
