MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
THRU: Amy Margerum, City Manager
THRU: Diane Moore, City Planning Directo
FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner
DATE: May 26, 1992
RE: Messiah Lutheran Church - Request to Waive Park
Development Impact Fees
SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends denial of the request to
waive park development impact fees. The deed restricted unit
requiring the $3,120.00 fee payment was approved as affordable
housing mitigation for the Pitkin County Bank's Growth Management
commercial allotment for 1990.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: At the citizen's comments portion of the
May 11 City Council meeting, representatives from the Messiah
Lutheran Church asked Council to consider waiver of the park
development impact fees. Please refer to Exhibit "A" for letter
from the Church. Council directed the applicant and staff to work
together to present a formal request to Council.
BACKGROUND: In early 1991, the City Council accepted an affordable
housing mitigation proposal for the Pitkin County Bank commercial
Growth Management allotment. This mitigation plan included the
Bank's participation in construction of a new 3 bedroom apartment
on the Messiah Lutheran Church property located at 1235 Mountain
View Drive. The unit will be deed restricted to Category 2 price
and income levels. First rights of occupancy is allowed for Church
employees, but other qualified persons may occupy the unit. The
Bank was responsible for processing a GMQS Exemption for the
housing unit through the Planning Commission and City Council.
Ordinance 20, Series 1991 memorializes the approval of the housing
unit.
CURRENT ISSUES: City Council has recently asked staff to look at
park fee waivers and recommend a system by which these requests
should be considered. The Planning Office evaluated the processes
where affordable housing projects are approved and puts forth a
recommendation based on each process category. Please see Exhibit
"B". As the proposed unit at the Church was approved as a required
Growth Management housing mitigation program for the Pitkin County
Bank, the Planning Office recommends denial of the waiver. In a
phone conversation with Scott Smith of Gibson/Reno Architects,
1
staff learned that the Bank's expansion project will not take place
this summer as originally planned. As the Bank's 1990 GMP
allocation is valid for three years from approval, there is still
the possibility that the commercial square footage will be
constructed.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Without collection of the $3,120.00 fee
from this applicant, the financial burden for parks projects funded
by these fees will be paid by other developments.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends denial of the Parks
Development Impact Fee waiver for the three bedroom deed restricted
unit required by the Pitkin County Bank GMP approval.
ALTERNATIVES: Council could approve a complete or partial waiver
of the $3,120.00 fee.
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to deny the Parks Development Impact Fee
waiver request by the Messiah Lutheran Church for the three bedroom
deed restricted unit approved as part of the 1990 Pitkin County
Bank GMP approvals."

To the Aspen City Council:

By Ordinance
.We have found the Messiah
(that is, Christ)." —John 1.41
6 May, 1992
The congregation of Messiah Lutheran Church.of Aspen are planning
to build a parsonage for the housing of our pastor and his family
under the affordable housing guidelines. This parsonage is to be
a 1400 square foot, 3 bedroom unit built on to the existing
church building at 1235 Mountain View Drive, off of Cemetery
Lane.
Since we could not afford to build a parsonage when our church
was constructed 25 years ago, we have been living with the
hardship of having our minister live downvalley, depriving our
members of local pastoral care and increasing the commuting
burden on our pastor.
Now that we are ready to apply for a building permit, we would
like to request that the City Council waive the $3,120.00 Park
Development Impact Fee in accordance with section 5-606 of the
Aspen Land Use Regulations, which empowers the Council to waive
this fee for affordable housing units.
We would like to request that a hearing before the Council in
this matter be added to the agenda for the Council's next meeting
on May 11. Because volunteer labor had to be scheduled far ahead
of time, our plans call for us to begin construction soon, and a
delay until the next Council meeting would be a considerable
inconvenience.
Thank you for considering this matter.
Sincerely,
),L2tllt

MEMORANDUM

THROUGH: Amy Margerum, Planning Directoo/(/�
FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner
DATE: July 22, 1991
RE: Messiah Lutheran GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing
and Vested Rights; Second Reading of Ordinance 20, Series
1991
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval
of GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing for the deed restricted
three bedroom unit at the Messiah Lutheran Church. The development
of this unit will partially satisfy the housing mitigation
requirements for the Pitkin County Bank Growth Management 1990
commercial allotment, as proposed and approved in City Council
Resolution #5, Series 1991.
COUNCIL GOALS: This proposal supports goal #1 to increase
affordable housing in the City.
BACKGROUND: Staff discussion and related drawings are found in P&Z
memo Attachment "A".
STAFF COMMENTS: Section 24-8-104 C.l.c. allows City Council to
grant Growth Management exemption for deed restricted affordable
housing upon recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Consideration shall be given to the City's need for housing, the
number, size and type of units proposed, and the price categories
proposed.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: The Planning and Zoning Commission
approved the amendment to the Church's Conditional Use permit for
the deed restricted unit. The Commission forwards a recommendation
for approval of GMQS Exemption for this unit. Conditions of
approval are found in Commission Resolution #91-12, Attachment "B".
KEY ISSUES: At the Commission meeting, concern was raised
from neighbors of the Church regarding occupancy of the unit.
The neighbors wanted some assurance that if the unit were not
occupied by a minister and family, there would be a family
living there rather than several unrelated persons. A
condition was formulated at the meeting that required the deed
restriction to limit occupancy to a family related by blood
or marriage. Upon further consideration by Planning and Legal
staff and the applicant's representative Sunny Vann, the
condition was revised not to require the deed restriction to
carry this limitation. Instead, the limitation is now worded
so that occupancy by a related family is a condition of the
Conditional Use approval rather than a Housing Authority deed
restriction. This is an effort to not dictate types of
occupancy through the general deed restriction process.
The Applicant asks, and the Commission recommends that the
unit be restricted as a category 3 unit, and in addition, the
income and asset guidelines for category 3 may be waived for
occupancy by the Church's minister. With this limitation, the
Church would not be precluding its current or future minister
from occupying the unit because of asset or income, but any
other occupancy would have to adhere to the Housing
Guidelines.
ALTERNATIVES: The Council could alter the price or income status
of the unit, or condition the occupancy in other ways.
PROPOSED MOTION: I move to have Second Reading of Ordinance 20,
Series 1991 for the approval of GMQS Exemption for an affordable
housing unit at the Messiah Lutheran Church.

FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner
RE: Messiah Lutheran Church - Conditional Use Amendment and
GMQS Exemption for Affordable Housing
DATE: May 7, 1991
SUMMARY: The Messiah Lutheran Church ("Applicant") seeks an
amendment to their existing Conditional Use approval. They wish
to construct a 1,430 s.f. deed restricted residence as a second
floor addition over the existing fellowship hall. Planning Staff
recommends approval of this Conditional Use with conditions.
APPLICANT: Aspen Bank Shares, Ltd. on behalf of the Messiah
Lutheran Church, represented by Sunny Vann
LOCATION: 1235 Mountain View Drive, Parcel A, Blk.3 West Meadow
Subdivision
ZONING: R-15 Moderate Density Residential
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Conditional Use amendment and GMQS
Exemption for a deed restricted affordable dwelling unit.
PROPOSAL: The proposed deed restricted residence is a 3 bedroom
1,430 sq.ft. apartment to be built above the existing fellowship
hall. The unit will be owned by the church for use by the
church's minister and family or other employees qualified by the
Housing Authority.
The church site is 17,368 s.f. and the current building contains
approximately 3,630 s.f.of floor area. Approximately 30 on -site
parking spaces are provided in front of the church. Please see
Attachment "A" for site plan and elevations.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: (please see Attachment "B" for complete
comments):
Engineering: Rob Thompson made the following comments:
1. The project's water service is provided via a private well.
According to the city water department, Section 23-55 of the
municipal code, all buildings, structures, facilities, parks or
the like within the city limits which use water shall be
1
connected to the municipal water utility system.
2. The existing parking area is not formally arranged and
probably is not very efficiently utilized. The parking spaces
depicted along the south side of the property scales to be less
than the minimum required size for off street parking.
The applicant has stated that the on -site parking area is usually
less than full. Sufficient space should be available to
accommodate the parsonage's parking requirement. Staff
recommends that the applicant demonstrate that the proposed
conditional use minimizes adverse effects, in particular parking
and vehicle circulation, on surrounding properties.
3. Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and
development in the public rights -of -way, staff would like the
following condition of approval:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5080) for
design considerations of development within public rights -
of -way and shall obtain permits for any work or development
within public rights -of -way from city streets department
(920-5130).
Fire Marshal: During a meeting with staff, Ed Van Walraven
looked over the site plan and indicated that no problem will be
created regarding access to the structure from the existing
hydrant on the street. The building code will address required
firewall separation of the residential and church portions of the
structure.
Housing Authority: Yvonne Blocker forwards the following
comments: The proposed unit exceeds the 1,100 s.f. maximum for
Category #2 units as per the 1990 Affordable Housing Guidelines.
Therefore, the maximum rental or sales prices cannot be greater
that the Category #2 prices. However, as their intent is to
house present and future ministers, the Applicant requests waiver
of the income and asset requirements for the unit. In a recent
case specifically for administrative housing for the Aspen Valley
Hospital a waiver of this type was granted. The Housing
Authority recommends approval of the proposed unit with the
following condition:
1. The Applicant will be required to submit for approval a deed
restriction to the Housing Authority stipulating the allowed
square footage of 1,100 s.f. for a Category #2 rental/sales
unit and also stipulating that the unit shall be given
priority for occupancy by the minister and family members,
and if needed, exceed the allowed Category #2 income and
asset standards.
Water Department: Staff discussed with Larry Ballenger the
E
Engineering Department's concern over the existing water well
service to the Church. It was determined that since the proposed
unit is attached to the original structure, a new connection to
the City's water line is not required. It was also acknowledged
that the proposed development is 100% deed restricted housing, so
a tap fee is not required. The Church originally granted a
waterline easement to the City in exchange for the right to stay
on their own well. The Water Department requests that a new
water test be performed to insure quality to the new residence.
STAFF COMMENTS: The original Conditional Use approval was
granted in 1985. Conditions required for that approval are
provided as Attachment "C".
The current proposal seeks to accomplish two objectives. The
first is to fulfill the need to provide a housing opportunity for
a minister and family within the community. Secondly, you may
recall that the Pitkin County Bank received 1990 GMP allocations
for commercial square footage with the condition that housing
mitigation for 4.7 employees be provided. With Resolution #5,
Series 1991, the City Council approved consideration that the
Bank could meet this requirement with a three bedroom unit at the
Church and cash mitigation for the remaining 1.7 employees. The
Bank would be responsible for obtaining all necessary development
approvals. Please see Council Resolution #5 as Attachment "D".
The proposed total FAR on the site is 5,060 s.f. This is the
maximum allowed for this site using the FAR calculations for
duplexes in the R-15 zone. This figure was elected by the
Applicant as an acceptable size because there are no FAR
calculations for conditional uses in the R-15 district. Staff
supports this method of determining maximum size for conditional
uses when none are stated in the land use code.
Conditional Use: The Commission has the authority to review and
approve development applications for substantial amendments to
conditional uses pursuant to the standards of Section 24-7-307
and 24-7-304:
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive
Plan, and with the intent of the Zone District in which it
is proposed to be located.
RESPONSE: This proposed unit will allow the property to house a
qualified employee family in a residential area, which complies
with the R-15 zoning and the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
3
for development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the
mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
RESPONSE: This proposed residential use is compatible with the
other residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood.
C. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of
the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects,
including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and
vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery,
noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
RESPONSE: The proposed FAR and height of the entire structure
falls within the allowed limits for duplexes in the R-15 zone.
Parking for residential uses in the R-15 district is one space
per bedroom. The original Conditional Use approval for the
Church considered four spaces per 1,000 square feet (the highest
parking requirement in the Code for "other uses" in other zones)
as an appropriate requirement. This represents 15 spaces based
on the existing church size of 3,630 square feet. The site has
30 spaces depicted on the currently proposed site plan as does
the original Conditional Use plan. The requirement of one space
per bedroom (3 spaces) plus 15 spaces based on the "other uses"
figure totals a requirement of 18 spaces. Even with the original
parking design flaws referenced by Engineering, there is an
apparent surplus of spaces on the site. The applicant states
that typically no more that 2/3 of the parking lot is utilized.
It should be noted that the original Conditional Use approval
conditioned that the applicant shall "demonstrate what design
techniques will be used to formally designate the parking
spaces." A staff site visit revealed that nothing exists to
identify spaces in the lot. Staff recommends this requirement be
reiterated in the current list of conditions.
It is anticipated that no significant impacts will occur with
pedestrian or auto traffic, noise, service deliveries, or trash.
One neighbor called with concern about visual impacts of the new
second story.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve
the conditional use including but not limited to roads,
potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire
protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools.
RESPONSE: The private well will remain in use for this site.
All other public facilities are in place for the existing
neighborhood. The 1985 Conditional Use approval required "no
parking" signs as per the City Engineering staff recommendation.
There exists a "no parking" sign on the south side of Mountain
4
View Dr. which complies with Engineering's comments at that time.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by
the conditional use.
RESPONSE: This proposal seeks to mitigate housing requirements
for the Pitkin County Bank expansion as City Council approved in
Resolution #5, 1991. As a deed restricted unit, City Council may
grant GMQS Exemption for this proposal. The Commission shall
forward a recommendation to Council for this exemption request.
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
RESPONSE: This use complies with the Aspen Area comprehensive
Plan, R-15 Zone requirements and any other applicable conditional
use standards.
Growth Management Exemption for Affordable Housing: Pursuant to
Section 24-8-104 C.l.c., the City Council may grant exemption
from competition for affordable housing units. They make their
decision in consideration of a recommendation from the Planning
and Zoning Commission. Having found that the proposal meets the
standards for Conditional Use, staff recommends forwarding a
recommendation for approval with the conditions listed below.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Planning recommends approval of this
Conditional Use Amendment with the following conditions:
1. Prior to issuance of Building Permit, the affordable housing
unit must be deed restricted with the Housing Authority and filed
with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder for Category #2
rental/sales guidelines in place at the time of recordation.
Proof of recordation with the County Clerk shall be forwarded to
the Planning Office.
2. Occupancy priority shall be given to the Church's minister.
However, if needed for the specific use by the Messiah Lutheran
Church's minister and family, the Category #2 guidelines may be
exceeded.
3. The owner (Messiah Lutheran Church) is obligated to keep the
units occupied with qualified tenants and is obligated to notify
the Housing Authority when the unit is vacant.
4. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the well water
shall be tested and approved by the Environmental Health.
Department.
5
5. The designation of parking spaces as required in the 1985
Conditional Use approval shall be implemented and approved by
staff prior to issuance of any building permits for this
residence.
6. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Planning and
Zoning Commission, City Council and Historic Preservation
Committee shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions.

Dear Ms Johnson:

E
I, as owner of Lot 8 West Meadow Subdivision, have been
advised that you are having a hearing regarding a proposed
addition to the Lutheran Church, which is next door to me_
We built our house at 1245 Mountain View Drive in 1960
and have lived in it thirty-one years. We approved the
first church and then approved the first remodel with the
understanding it would be the last request to expand.
The addition is a concern to me because of the
additional traffic it7would cause on our quiet dead-end
street_
There are other areas of concern, but I just want to go
on record at this time as being against approval of any
addition to the church. Enough is enough! Or as they would
say in church, AMEN_
Respectfully,

From Kim Johnson:
Thanks. Can I ask you for a specific confirmation - the church is in
the city limits and is currently on a well. The expansion on the
property for a 100% deed restricted housing unit is an attachment to
the original structure. So, they are not required to tap into city
water for this addition. Yes? Do you want any retesting of the
water at this time as was required when the church was built in 185?
Sunny Vann says that an agreement was made to exempt the church from
tapping on in exchange for an easement - more info forthcoming.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -
1. The 1990 Affordable Housing Guidelines were amended by City
Council on December 17, 1990 to allow the maximum buildable square
footage of a Category #2 three bedroom unit to be no more than
1,10o sq. ft.
According to the guidelines the applicant can propose a unit which
is larger than provided for in the guidelines, however, the rental
or sale price shall not be greater than that allowable had the
housing unit complied with the applicable sine limitations
REQUEST TO WAIVE ASSET AND OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS FOR CATEGORY #2 -
2. The applicant has stated that the rent will be based on an
allowed 11100 sq.ft Category #2 unit but, the intent is to house
future and present ministers of the church and therefore request
the waiving of the income and asset requirements for occupancy of
the unit. Current guidelines allow net assets of up to $126,000
and a total household income not to exceed $46,092 for a Category
#2 unit.
Recently, the request to rent a unit in a given category but, to
allow the occupancy of a specific individual that may exceed the
guidelines attached to that category, was approved with the
administrative housing developed by the Aspen Valley Hospital.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval of the construction of a
1,430 square foot three bedroom attached affordable dwelling unit
to be owned by the Messiah Lutheran Church and located on the real
property at 1235 Mountain View Drive.
Applicant will be required to submit for approval a deed
restriction to APCHA stipulating the allowed square footage of
1,100 square foot for a Category #2 rental/sales unit and also
stipulate that the unit shall be given priority for occupancy by
the minister and family members but shall, if needed, exceed the
allowed Category #2 income and asset standards.

From: Rob Thomson, Project Engineer,K S 1
Date: April 9, 1991
Re: Messiah Lutheran Church Conditional Use Amendment and
GMQS Exemption
Having reviewed the above application, and having made a site
inspection, the Engineering Department has the following
comments:
1. This unit is being provided as partial mitigation of the
employees to be generated by the proposed addition to the Pitkin
County Bank, deed restricted as affordable housing and approved
by city council. Therefore it complies with the requirements of
GMQS exemption. However, the city council approved that the
proposed deed restricted unit will provide housing for three
employees and the application states that the unit will be used
to house the church's minister and family, which I interpret to
mean one employee.
2. With reference to page two of the application the project
site's water service is provided via a private well. According
to the city water department, Section 23-55 of the municipal
code, all buildings, structures, facilities, parks or the like
within the city limits which use water shall be connected to the
municipal water utility system.
3. The parking requirement for all affordable housing shall be
established by special review. The existing parking area is not
formally arranged and probably is not very efficiently utilized.
The parking spaces depicted along the south side of the property
scales to be less than the minimum required size for off street
parking. In addition the fire department may require fire
apparatus access including turning lanes which may further reduce
the amount of off street parking.
The applicant has stated that the on -site parking area is usually
less than full, sufficient space should be available to
accommodate the parsonage's parking requirement. Staff
recommends that the applicant demonstrate that the proposed
conditional use minimizes adverse effects, in particular .parking
and vehicle circulation, on surrounding properties.
4. Given the continuous problems of unapproved w._;. and
development in the public rights -of -way, staff would like the
following condition of approval:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5r`.0) for
design considerations of development within public ights-
of-way and shall obtain permits for any work or development
within public rights -of -way from city streets department
(920-5130).

Re: Messiah Lutheran Church/Conditional
Application
Dear Kim:
Use Amendment
Please consider this letter an application for an amendment
to the Messiah Lutheran Church conditional use approval which
was granted in May of 1985 by the Aspen Planning and Zoning
Commission (see Pre -Application Conference Summary attached
hereto as Exhibit 1).
More specifically, the application requests approval to add
a deed restricted, affordable housing unit to the existing
church which will be used as a parsonage for the church's
minister. In addition, the application requests an exemption
from the City's growth management quota system for the
proposed affordable housing unit and vested property rights
status for all development approvals.
The application is submitted pursuant to Sections 7-307.B and
8-104.C.1.c. of the Aspen Land Use Regulations by Aspen Bank
Shares, Ltd. (dba, Pitkin County Bank & Trust Company) on
behalf of the Messiah Lutheran Church, the owner of the
property on which the unit is to be constructed (see Exhibit
2, Title Policy). The Applicants' representative is Sunny
Vann of Vann Associates, Inc., Planning Consultants (see
Exhibit 3, Permission to Represent). A list of property
owners within three hundred (300) feet of the church's
property is attached as Exhibit 4.
Background
In February of 1991, the City Council approved an affordable
housing mitigation plan for the Pitkin County Bank & Trust
Company's 1990 commercial GMQS allotment (see Exhibit 5, City
30 Eas: Hookins Hver'ue • aspen. C3:oraco 8161 1 • 303,92: 6958
Ms. Kim Johnson
March 12, 1991
Page 2
Council Resolution No. 5, Series of 1991). The mitigation
plan requires that the bank mitigate the housing impact of
the 4.7 additional employees which theoretically will be
generated as a result of the bank's expansion. Credit for
housing three (3) of these employees is to be obtained via
the addition of a three (3) bedroom, affordable housing unit
to the Messiah Lutheran Church. The housing impact of the
remaining 1.7 employees is to be mitigated via a cash -in -lieu
payment.
As the church was constructed pursuant to a prior conditional
use approval, the approval must be amended in order to add
the required affordable housing unit to the existing church
building. As you know, the bank also committed as part of
its housing mitigation plan to obtain, on behalf of the
church, such land use approvals as may be required in order
to construct the proposed affordable housing unit.
Project site
The church's property consists of Parcel A, Block II, West
Meadow Subdivision and is located at 1235 Mountain View
Drive. As the accompanying survey illustrates, the property
contains seventeen thousand three hundred and sixty-eight
(17,368) square feet of land area and is zoned R-15, Moder-
ate -Density Residential.
Existing improvements are limited to the one-story church
building which contains approximately three thousand six
hundred and thirty (3,630) square feet of floor area. on -
site parking for approximately thirty (30) cars is provided
in front of the church building. Existing electric, sewer
and natural gas service is provided by the City of Aspen, the
Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, and Rocky Mountain
Natural Gas, respectively. Water service is provided via a
private well.
Proposed Development
Pursuant to the provisions of the approved housing mitigation
plan, the Messiah Lutheran Church proposes to construct an
approximately fourteen hundred and thirty (1,430) square
foot, three (3) bedroom, affordable housing unit above the
church's existing fellowship hall. The unit will be owned by
the church and will be used to house the church's minister
and family. The church, however, may also rent or sell the
unit to other qualified employees subject to applicable
Housing Authority guidelines.
Ms. Kim Johnson
March 12, 1991
Page 3
As Table 1 below illustrates, the size of the unit has been
determined by subtracting the floor area of the existing
church building from the maximum allowable floor area
permitted for a duplex. This approach was recommended by the
Planning Office as there are no FAR requirements for non-
residential structures in the R-15 zone district.

3 The ridge of a hip roof may extend five (5) feet above
the R-15 zone district's maximum height limit of twenty-
five (25) feet.
The church proposes to deed restrict the affordable housing
unit to the Housing Authority's moderate income (i.e.,
Category #2) guidelines. While the maximum allowable size of
a three bedroom, category #2 unit is limited to twelve
hundred (1,200) square feet, this guideline may be exceeded
provided, however, that the unit's rental or sales price is
Ms. Kim Johnson

Page 4
based upon the maximum size limitation. The church is
amenable to limiting the square footage on which rent may be
charged in exchange for approval to construct a larger unit,
as the additional area is necessary to adequately accommodate
the minister's family.
Pursuant to condition #4 of the attached City Council
resolution, the church will execute and record an appropriate
deed restriction prior to the issuance of any building
permits for the affordable housing unit or the approved bank
addition. As the intent of the unit to provide housing for
the church's present and future ministers, the church
proposes to exclude all such employees from the Housing
Authority's income and asset qualification requirements.
This stipulation is necessary to ensure that the unit can be
utilized for its intended purpose. Should the church elect
to rent or sell the unit to someone other than its minister,
the prospective resident will have to meet all applicable
Housing Authority guidelines, including income and asset
requirements.
As the accompanying site development plan and schematic
architectural drawings illustrate, the proposed affordable
housing unit complies with all applicable dimensional
requirements of the R-15 zone district. The maximum height
of the new addition will be limited to twenty-eight (28)
feet, and all setbacks meet or exceed district requirements.
Building materials and finishes will be identical to those
used in the construction of the existing church building.
The church's existing utilities will also serve the proposed
affordable housing unit.
With respect to parking, approximately thirty (30) spaces are
presently provided on -site for the church's congregation.
This parking was approved in connection with the church's
original conditional use application and is normally more
than adequate for the church's needs. As a rule, no more
than two-thirds of the spaces are regularly utilized. It
should be noted, however, that on -street parking sometimes
occurs during certain holiday periods (e.g., Christmas
services, etc.). As the on -site parking area is usually less
than full, sufficient space should be available to accommo-
date the parsonage's parking requirements.
Conditional Use Review
Pursuant to Section 7-307.B. of the Regulations, an amendment
to an approved conditional use is subject to the review and
approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applica-

ble review criteria, and the proposed affordable housing
unit's compliance therewith, are summarized below.
1. 'fThe conditional use is consistent with the purposes,
goals, objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehen-
sive Plan, and with the intent of the Zone District in which
it is proposed to be located."
Residential dwelling units are permitted by right within the
R-15, moderate -density, zone district. The proposed afford-
able housing unit, therefore, is consistent with the intent
of the R-15 zone district. The proposed unit is also
consistent with the city's policy of encouraging the volun-
tary development of such units throughout it's residential
neighborhoods.
2. "The conditional use is consistent and compatible with
the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or
enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in
the vicinity of the parcel proposed for development."
The area immediately surrounding the church property is
devoted entirely to residential uses. The addition of an
affordable housing unit to the church is a desirable compli-
ment to free market residential development and, as discussed
above, consistent with current community goals and objec-
tives.
3. "The location, size, design and operating characteris-
tics of the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse
effects, including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and
vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery,
noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties."
The addition of an affordable housing unit to the existing
church building should have little or no adverse impact upon
surrounding properties. The proposed addition is within the
R-15 zone district's maximum allowable height and floor area
limitations, and the building's existing setbacks meet or
exceed applicable requirements. While the proposed unit will
arguably increase the level of traffic on Mountain view
Drive, the Engineering Department has indicated that the
street can accommodate additional vehicles. As noted
previously, adequate parking presently exists on -site to
serve the existing church congregation and the proposed unit.
4. "There are adequate public facilities and services to
serve the conditional use including but not limited to roads,
Ms. Kim Johnson
March 12, 1991
Page 6
potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire
protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools."
As discussed previously, all utilities and the public road
system are available to serve the proposed affordable housing
unit. Given the limited nature of the use, no adverse
impacts on such public facilities and services as hospitals,
schools, police, etc. is anticipated.
5. "The Applicants commit to supply affordable housing to
meet the incremental need for increased employees generated
by the condition use."
The proposed affordable housing unit is exempt from growth
management. As a result, no additional employees are assumed
by the Land Use Regulations to be generated as a result of
the unit's construction. To the contrary, the unit is being
provided as partial mitigation of the employees to be
generated by the proposed addition to the Pitkin County Bank.
6. 'The proposed conditional use complies with all addi-
tional standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Compre-
hensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of this
chapter."
As discussed under criteria #1 above, the proposed affordable
housing unit is consistent with the Aspen Area Comprehensive
Plan, the purpose of the underlying zone district, and the
specific standards which govern such uses. In addition, the
unit has been designed in compliance with all applicable
dimensional requirements of the R-15 Zone District, and will
be deed restricted in compliance with Housing Authority
guidelines.
Growth Management Exemption
Pursuant to Section 8-104.C.1.c. of the Regulations, all
housing units deed restricted in accordance with the Housing
Authority's guidelines are exempt from the growth management
quota system subject to the review and approval of the City
Council. While the bank's affordable housing mitigation plan
has been approved by the Council (see Council Resolution No.
5, Series of 1991), the specifics of the proposed unit must
also be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. As the review criteria for such exemptions
pertain primarily to the unit's conformance with Housing
Authority guidelines, a favorable recommendation for approval
Ms. Kim Johnson
March 12, 1991
Page 7
from the Authority's staff should be sufficient to demon-
strate compliance with the provisions of this section.
As the church wishes to commence construction of the proposed
affordable housing unit as soon as possible, any assistance
which you may be able to provide with respect to the schedul-
ing and review of this application would be sincerely apprec-
iated.
Should you have any questions, or require additional informa-
tion, please do not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,
