TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Colette Penne, Planning Office
RE: Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning //
DATE: August 8, 1983 APPROVED AS TO FORM: /[��
Location: 732 E. Cooper (the easterly 9.27 fe of Lot Q,
all of Lots R and S, Block 105, City and Townsite
of Aspen).
Zoning: Present: 0 - Office
Requested: CL - Commercial /Lodge
Referral
Comments: The City Engineering Department is primarily concerned
with the potential loss of parking spaces if
maximum development were to occur as allowed by the
CL zone. There are currently approximately nine
parking spaces at the Buckhorn Lodge and Section
24 -4 indicates that no off - street parking is required
in the CL zone. If the Buckhorn were to redevelop,
and if parking was not provided, the impact on the
adjacent residential neighborhood might be deleterious.
The City Attorney's Office made no comment.
Planning Office
Review: This lodge was one which was identified by the
Planning Office in 1982 as being appropriate for
rezoning to L -3. When approached by the Planning
Office, the owner declined this offer since it
would make his lodge conforming but leave his
commercial uses as nonconforming. The owner decided
to request rezoning to CL since the present uses on
this site do conform to the intent of that zone
district. The attached zoning map of the vicinity
of the Buckhorn Lodge shows its location to be on
the southern edge of an 0 - Office zone. This
office zone extends for three blocks to the north
to Main Street. To the east of the ldoge is a
large R -MF neighborhood and across the street to
the south is City Market in the NC zone. The block
directly west is zoned C -1 and the block containing
Aspen Square to the southwest is CL. The compatibility
with the surrounding zone districts is affected by
several existing situations. First, the Bell
Mountain Lodge (directly next door to the west)
completes the entire south side of the block and
received an L -3 zone designation at the end of last
year. Secondly, Original Street is a relatively
major thoroughfare which effectively separates the
Buckhorn location from the residential neighborhood.
Highway 82 also turns at this location, making the
corner where the lodge sits the eastern entrance to
automobile traffic coming into Aspen.
Memo: Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning
Page Two
August 8, 1983
The purpose of the CL zone is to serve as a transi-
tion from lodge uses to commercial uses. The
North of Nell Building is a prime example of a
use and location in which CL zoning functions in the
way intended. There are commercial uses at street
level, lodge uses on the second and third stories,
and the building is located directly between the
commercial core and the base of the mountain lodge
zones. However, this building and the other major
CL use, Aspen Square, demonstrate how big a structure
can be when built out at CL density.
The existing situation at the Buckhorn Lodge is a
perfect fit as far as the uses which are outlined for
the CL zone. Specifically, the street level uses
are commercial and the second story is used for
lodge accommodations. The location is not ideal,
however, in that these 2+ lots are not only not
situated between lodge and commercial uses, they
are actually quite separated from these areas. A
rezoning to CL would be a rezoning to use and would
remove any stigma of nonconformity which now exists
on the Buckhorn Lodge in the 0 - Office zone. The
lodge is nonconforming in the 0 - Office zone, both
in terms of area and bulk requirements, and use.
However, it would form a small enclave of CL zoning
where it makes little sense in terms of surrounding
zoning.
The Aspen Area General Plan of 1966, as amended,
indicates this location as being at the very eastern
edge of the central area and directly across from
mixed residential. The site is suitable for develop-
ment in that there are no slope, utility or other
concerns expressed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Council.
If this small part of the block is zoned CL, it
would be very logical and likely at some point in
time for the Bell Mountain Lodge (which occupies
the remaining 6 -2/3 lots of the block) to request
CL zoning also. A community need for extending
commercial uses in this way cannot be shown nor does
such an extension support the goal of overall community
balance.
The Planning Office feels that the appropriate zone
for the parcel is L -3. L -3 zoning will be consistent
with the rest of the block, the ability to expand
the commercial space will not exist, but the lodge
element will be able to upgrade through the lodge
preservation provisions of the L -3 zone.
Planning and Zoning
Commission Action:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that
you deny the request to rezone the Buckhorn Lodge
parcel from 0 - Office to CL and recommends further
that if the owner of the property will accept it, the
zoning be changed to L -3. The reasons for this
recommendation are:

1. Pressure for the rest of the block to rezone
to CL.
2. Loss of parking.
3. No evidence of need for commercial use in that
area, much less expanded commercial use.
4. Creation of an island of CL zoning.
Council
Action: Council passed Ordinance 27, Series of 1983 on first
reading which rezones the property to CL with a
limit on FAR to a maximum of 1:1.
If you continue to support rezoning to CL with a 1:1
FAR, the appropriate motion is:
"I move to adopt Ordinance 27, Series of 1983."

Re: Simon P. Kelly and Nora D. Kelly - Buckhorn Lodge/
Application by Private Land Owner for Rezoning
Dear Alan,
•
Please consider this letter an application for rezoning
on behalf of Simon P. Kelly and Nora D. Kelly, owners of the
Buckhorn Lodge located on the easterly 9.27 feet of Lot Q,
all of Lots R and S, Block 105, in and to the City and
Townsite of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado.
Pursuant to § 24-12.5, these applicants request a
hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission to
consider the rezoning of their property. The names and
address of the owners of real property in the area of the
proposed change are Nora D. and Simon P. Kelly, P.O. Box
•1583, Aspen, Colorado 81612. Enclosed find a list of all
property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the
area. By signing this letter, the applicants have complied
with the signature requirements of the Code. The Kellys are
owners of one hundred percent (100%) of the land area sought
to be rezoned.
The property, which is the subject of this rezoning
request, is presently zoned O- office. At the time the
applicants purchased the property it had a. commercial zoning
which was subsequently changed to the present 0 zoning. As
you are aware, the City of Aspen recently determined that
older, nonconforming lodges needed to be helped. Since the
nonconforming status which had been placed upon them had
created many significant burdens, this realization led to
the adoption of the L -3 zone. The L -3 zone did not
contemplate the type of lawful uses that presently exist at
the Buckhorn Lodge. So, an L -3 designation for this

Referral
Comments: The City Engineering Department is primarily concerned with
the potential loss of parking spaces if maximum development
were to occur as allowed by the CL zone. There are currently
approximately nine parking spaces at the Buckhorn Lodge and
Section 24 -4 indicates that no off - street parking is required
in the CL zone. If the Buckhorn were to redevelop, and if
parking was not provided, the impact on the adjacent residential
neighborhood might be deleterious.
The City Attorney's Office made no comment.
Planning Office
Review: This lodge was one which was identified by the Planning Office
in 1982 as being appropriate for rezoning to L -3. When approached
by the Planning Office, the owner declined this offer since it
would make his lodge conforming but leave his commercial uses
as nonconforming. The owner decided to request rezoning to CL
since the present uses on this site do conform to the intent of
that zone district. The attached zoning map of the vicinity of
the Buckhorn Lodge shows its location to be on the southern
edge of an 0 - Office zone. This office zone extends for three
blocks to the north to Main Street. To the east of the lodge
is a large R -MF neighborhood and across the street to the south
is City Market in the NC zone. The block directly west is
zoned C -1 and the block containing Aspen Square to the southwest
is CL. The compatibility with the surrounding zone districts
is affected by several existing situations. First, the Bell
Mountain Lodge (directly next door to the west) completes the
entire south side of the block and received an L -3 zone designation
at the end of last year. Secondly, Original Street is a relatively
major thoroughfare which effectively separates the Buckhorn
location from the residential neighborhood. Highway 82 also
turns at this location, making the corner where the lodge sits
the eastern entrance to automobile traffic coming into Aspen.
The purpose of the CL zone is to serve as a transition from
lodge uses to commercial uses. The North of Nell Building is a
prime example of a use and location in which CL zoning functions
in the way intended. There are commercial uses at street
level, lodge uses on the second and third stories, and the
building is located directly between the commercial core and
the base of the mountain lodge zones. However, this building
and the other major CL use, Aspen Square, demonstrate how big a
structure can be when built out at CL density.
The existing situation at the Buckhorn Lodge is a perfect fit
as far as the uses which are outlined for the CL zone. Specifically,
the street level uses are commercial and the second story is
used for lodge accommodations. The location is not ideal,
however, in that these 2+ lots are not only not situated between

lodge and commercial uses, they are actually quite separated
from these areas. A rezoning to CL would be a rezoning to use
and would remove any stigma of nonconformity which now exists
on the Buckhorn Lodge in the 0 - Office zone. The lodge is
nonconforming in the 0 - Office zone, both in terms of area and
bulk requirements, and use. However, it would form a small
enclave of CL zoning where it makes little sense in terms of
surrounding zoning.
The Aspen Area General Plan of 1966, as amended, indicates this
location as being at the very eastern edge of the central area
and directly across from mixed residential. The site is suitable
for development in that there are no slope, utility, or other
concerns. The applicant has volunteered a maximum acceptable FAR
of 1:1 rather than the 2:1 allowed in CL zones, in response to
concerns expressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council.
If this small part of the block is zoned CL, it would be very logical
and likely at some point in time for the Bell Mountain Lodge (which
occupies the remaining 6 -2/3 lots of the block) to request CL zoning
also. A community need for extending commercial uses in this way
cannot be shown nor does such en extension support the goal of
overall community balance.
The Planning Office feels that the appropriate zone for the parcel
is L -3. L -3 zoning will be consistent with the rest of the block,
the ability to expand the commercial space will not exist, but the
lodge element will be able to upgrade through the lodge preservation
provisions of the L -3 zone.
Planning and Zoning
Commission Action:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that you deny the request
to rezone the Buckhorn Lodge parcel from 0 - Office to CL and recommends
further that if the owner of the property will accept it, the zoning
be changed to L -3. The reasons for this recommendation are:
1. Pressure for the rest of the block to rezone to CL.
2. Loss of parking.
3. No evidence of need for commercial use in that area, much less
expanded commercial use.
4. Creation of an island of CL zoning.
Council
Action:
Council passed Ordinance 27 , Series of 1983 on first reading which
rezones the property to CL with a limit on FAR to a maximum of 1:1.
If you continue to support rezoning to CL with a 1:1 FAR, the
appropriate motion is:
"I move to adopt Ordinance 27 , Series of 1983."
If you concur with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Planning Office, the appropriate motion is:
"I move to direct the Planning Office to draft an ordinance
rezoning the Buckhorn Lodge parcel from 0 - Office to L -3 if
the applicant will accept the L -3 zone."

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen City Council
FROM: Colette Penne, Planning Office
RE: Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning
DATE: May 23, 1983 APPROVED AS TO FORM: 29 ' !/
Location: 732 E. Cooper (the easterly 9.27 feet • Lot Q,
all of Lots R and S, Block 105, City and Townsite o Aspen).
Zoning: Present: 0 - Office
Requested: CL - Commercial /Lodge
Referral
Comments: The City Engineering Department is primarily concerned with
the potential loss of parking spaces if maximum development
were to occur as allowed by the CL zone. There are currently
approximately nine parking spaces at the Buckhorn Lodge and
Section 24 -4 indicates that no off - street parking is required
in the CL zone. If the Buckhorn were to redevelop, and if
parking was not provided, the impact on the adjacent residential
neighborhood might be deleterious.
The City Attorney's Office made no comment.
Planning Office
Review: This lodge was one which was identified by the Planning Office
in 1982 as being appropriate for rezoning to L -3. When approached
by the Planning Office, the owner declined this offer since it
would make his lodge conforming but leave his commercial uses
as nonconforming. The owner decided to request rezoning to CL
since the present uses on this site do conform to the intent of
that zone district. The attached zoning map of the vicinity of
the Buckhorn Lodge shows its location to be on the southern
edge of an 0 - Office zone. This office zone extends for three
blocks to the north to Main Street. To the east of the lodge
is a large R -MF neighborhood and across the street to the south
is City Market in the NC zone. The block directly west is
zoned C -1 and the block containing Aspen Square to the southwest
is CL. The compatibility with the surrounding zone districts
is affected by several existing situations. First, the Bell
Mountain Lodge (directly next door to the west) completes the
entire south side of the block and received an L -3 zone designation
at the end of last year. Secondly, Original Street is a relatively
major thoroughfare which effectively separates the Buckhorn
location from the residential neighborhood. Highway 82 also
turns at this location, making the corner where the lodge sits
the eastern entrance to automobile traffic coming into Aspen.
The purpose of the CL zone is to serve as a transition from
lodge uses to commercial uses. The North of Nell Building is a
prime example of a use and location in which CL zoning functions
in the way intended. There are commercial uses at street
level, lodge uses on the second and third stories, and the
building is located directly between the commercial core and
the base of the mountain lodge zones. However, this building
and the other major CL use, Aspen Square, demonstrate how big a
structure can be when built out at CL density.
The existing situation at the Buckhorn Lodge is a perfect fit
as far as the uses which are outlined for the CL zone. Specifically,
the street level uses are commercial and the second story is
used for lodge accommodations. The location is not ideal,
however, in that these 2+ lots are not only not situated between
..

lodge and commercial uses, they are actually quite separated
from these areas. A rezoning to CL would be a rezoning to use
and would remove any stigma of nonconformity which now exists
on the Buckhorn Lodge in the 0 - Office zone. The lodge is
nonconforming in the 0 - Office zone, both in terms of area and
bulk requirements, and use. However, it would form a small
enclave of CL zoning where it makes little sense in terms of
surrounding zoning.
The site is suitable for development in that there are no
slope, utility, or other concerns. If zoned to CL, the maximum
floor area ratio would be 2:1. If buildout occurred to that
maximum, the building would be overly bulky on that site in
relation to surrounding buildings, necessary parking would be
sacrificed and the small area of landscaped open space which
adds to the corner might be lost. If the parking spaces were
gone, the neighborhood would be negatively impacted, since it
already serves as an overflow area for skier parking for the
Little Nell base area.
If this small part of the block was zoned CL, it would be very
logical and likely at some point in time for the Bell Mountain
Lodge (which occupies the remaining 6 -2/3 lots of the block) to
request CL zoning also. If this entire side of the block was
developed at a 2:1 FAR with commercial uses on street level and
lodge uses above, it would be inappropriate for this location.
A community need for extending commercial uses in this way
cannot be shown nor does such an extension support the goal of
overall community balance. Most importantly, a building at
this location with a bulk of 2:1 would be an imposing structure,
out of character with its neighbors.
The Aspen Area General Plan of 1966, as amended, indicates this
location as being at the very eastern edge of the central area
and directly across from mixed residential.
The Planning Office feels that the continued existence of the
street level commercial use at the Buckhorn Lodge creates no
problem. We do not support an action that would allow its
expansion. We feel the appropriate zone for the parcel is L -3.
L -3 zoning will be consistent with the rest of the block, a 1:1
FAR is appropriate for the site, the ability to expand the
commercial space will not exist, but the lodge element will be
able to upgrade through the lodge preservation provisions of
the L -3 zone.

Action and Planning Office
Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning Office
recommend that you deny the request to rezone the Buckhorn Lodge
parcel from 0 - Office to CL and recommend further that if the
owner of the property will accept, that the zoning be changed to
L -3.
During the discussion of this proposal, the applicant's legal
counsel volunteered an alternative of rezoning to CL but limiting
the floor area ratio to 1:1. The Planning and Zoning Commission
agreed that this would mitigate the problem of the 2:1 FAR
potential, but cited as further reasons for their recommendation
the following:
Memo: Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning
Page Three

1. Pressure for the rest of the block to rezone to CL.
2. Loss of parking.
3. No evidence of need for commercial use in that area,
much less expanded commercial use.
4. Creation of an island of CL zoning.
Council
Action: If Council and the applicant accept the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the Planning Office, the
appropriate motion is as follows:
"I move to direct the Planning Office to draft an ordinance
rezoning the Buckhorn Lodge parcel from 0 - Office to L -3."
If the applicant chooses not to accept the L -3 zone, the
appropriate motion is:
"I move to deny the request to rezone the Buckhorn Lodge parcel
from 0 - Office to CL."
If you do not concur with the P &Z and the Planning Office, an
ordinance to rezone to CL (prepared by the applicant) will be
available at the meeting for your consideration.

Re: Simon P. Kelly and Nora D. Kelly - Buckhorn Lodge/
Application by Private Land Owner for Rezoning
Dear Alan,
Please consider this letter an application for rezoning
on behalf of Simon P. Kelly and Nora D. Kelly, owners of the
Buckhorn Lodge located on the easterly 9.27 feet of Lot Q,
all of Lots R and S, Block 105, in and to the City and
Townsite of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado.
Pursuant to § 24 -12.5, these applicants request a
hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission to
consider the rezoning of their property. The names and
address of the owners of real property in the area of the
proposed change are Nora D. and Simon P. Kelly, P.O. Box
1583, Aspen, Colorado 81612. Enclosed find a list of all
property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the
area. By signing this letter, the applicants have complied
with the signature requirements of the Code. The Kellys are
owners of one hundred percent (100 %) of the land area sought
to be rezoned.
The property, which is the subject of this rezoning
request, is presently zoned O- office. At the time the
applicants purchased the property it had a commercial zoning
which was subsequently changed to the present 0 zoning. As
you are aware, the City of Aspen recently determined that
older, nonconforming lodges needed to be helped. Since the
nonconforming status which had been placed upon them had
created many significant burdens, this realization led to
the adoption of the L -3 zone. The L -3 zone did not
contemplate the type of lawful uses that presently exist at
the Buckhorn Lodge. So, an L -3 designation for this
Alan Richman
February 10, 1983
Page Two
property would create as many problems for this particular
property as it would solve. Because of the previous
commercial zoning and the existing commercial uses, this
property presently supports a lodge, office and commercial
uses.
The one zoning category that would make this property
conforming and alleviate the problems that nonconformity has
created would be C -L, commercial -lodge zoning. C -L zoning
presently exists for the Aspen Square which is located close
to the property. The lodge and commercial use on the
property and its proximity to City Market and Aspen Square
would easily support a commercial -lodge designation as that
zone is in character to what exists presently on the
property and in the surrounding neighborhood. By
designating this property C -L we would be furthering the
policy of the Council and P & Z evidenced in the adoption of
the L -3 zone.
A C -L zone designation would eliminate nonconformities
in setback and other areas that were created as a result of
O- office designation. Rezoning this particular lodge is
justified even more than other nonconforming lodges in
residential zones because this particular lodge is situated
in a commercial area close to the base of the mountain and
should never have been made nonconforming. Thus a rezoning
to C -L designation is justified and appropriate from a
planning point of view not just to help cure an existing
anomoly but also to correct a zoning error.
A careful examination of this unique piece of property
shows the C -L designation will allow this property the same
opportunities that L -3 designation gives to other
nonconforming lodges. While the L -3 designation is not
appropriate for this lodge, the policy of eliminating
nonconformity certainly applies. We therefore request that
the rezoning fee that was waived for all other lodge owners
for L -3 designation also be waived for our rezoning request.
We are seeking a rezoning to eliminate nonconformity and
further the City policy of preserving and upgrading older
Aspen lodges; we do not feel we should be penalized by being
required to pay high fees merely because the Buckhorn Lodge
must rezone to C -L to accomplish what the other lodges did
by taking the L -3 designation.

Re: Shapery SPA Plan and Kelly Rezoning
Dear Council Members:
In your packets you will find an ordinance
adopting an SPA precise plan for Lot 3, Trueman Neighborhood
Commercial Project and an ordinance rezoning the easterly
9.7 feet of Lot Q and all of lots R and S (Buckhorn Lodge)
from 0 (Office) to CL (Commercial Lodge). The ordinances
affecting the Shapery mini warehouse and the Buckhorn Lodge
were drafted by my office because of the heavy work load of
the Planning Office and City Attorney. Working together we
were able to get this item to you for first reading. These
ordinances were prepared based on the City Attorney's forms
and willbe reviewed by the City Attorney's office prior to
your meeting. Since I drafted the ordinances there may be
some minor modifications or suggestions from the City
Attorney's Office. These ordinances are in a form
sufficient for first reading and can be used as a format for
discussion. If any changes become necessary the City
Attorney has indicated he can make those between the first
and second readings.
I look forward to discussing these items with you
at the City Council meeting on May 23, 1983.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Colette Penne, Planning Office
FROM: Chuck Roth, Engineering Department ew� �
DATE: March 16, 1983
RE: Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning
Having reviewed the above application for rezoning and made
a site inspection, the Engineering Department has the following
comments:
1. A review of the vault files of rezoning applications revealed
that all of them were applications for rezoning for the purpose
of effecting specific, desired improvements. This application
is unique among the surveyed material in that it does not
request a rezoning for a stated purpose of improvement. This
makes it difficult to analyze for impact on engineering concerns.
, Apparently we must consider the maximum development that might
occur if the property is rezoned to CL zoning.
2. The parking requirements of Section 24 -4 indicate that
no off - street parking is required for CL zoning. Currently
there are approximately nine (9) parking spaces at the Buckhorn
Lodge. The lodge's neighbor to the West, Bell Mountain Lodge,
has off- street parking, and Aspen Square Condominiums in the
CL zoned Block 101 also has off - street parking. If these three
lodges were to eliminate their parking spaces, the impact on street
parking in the area would be extreme. If the Buckhorn Lodge
were to redevelope, and if parking were not provided, the impact
on the adjacent residential neightborhood might be deleterious.
3. With regards to off - street parking, perhaps it should also
be noted here that Lots D -J of this block are currently in use as
off- street parking. Development of those lots would add more
to the problems of parking close to the center of town.
4. In the absence of submitted redevelopment plans, the Engineering
Department is unable to evaluate impact on other services - water,
electricity, and sewage.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Attorney
City Engineer
PLANNER: Colette Penne
RE: Applications for Rezoning: Aspen Skiing Co. Little Nell Extension
of SPA Designation; Aspen Skiing Co. Eames Addition Rezoning; and
Buckhorn Lodge Rezoning
DATE: March 2, 1983
Attached you will find three applications for rezoning, referenced above.
The first is requesting an SPA designation for the entire Little Nell parcel,
with the intent that any future development plan can be prepared and reviewed
at one time as a whole. The second is requesting Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
of the Eames Addition to be zoned L -2 from its current R -15 PUD /L. The final
rezoning application for the Buckhorn Lodge requests a change from its present
"0 ", Office to C -L, commercial -lodge zoning.
Please review the applications and return your comments to the Planning Office
no later than April 5, so that we may adequately prepare for our presentation
before the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission.
Thank you.
