NOTICE OF APPROVAL
GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM APPROVAL FOR A
TEMPORARY OUTDOOR FOOD VENDING STAND TO OPERATE ON
PRIVATE PROPERTY AT 121 SOUTH GALENA STREET
Parcel ID No. 2737-07-3-30-007
APPLICANT: Jack Reed, Roots and Shoots
SUBJECT & SITE OF APPROVAL: 121 South Galena Street, involving the approval
of Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) for a Temporary Outdoor Food Vending
stand.
SUMMARY:
The Applicant, Roots and Shoots, has requested GMQS approval for Temporary Food
Vending. Roots and Shoots has proposed a vegetable stand at 121 South Galena which
will operate from 9a.m. until 5 pm. (breakdown from 6p.m. through 7p.m.) on Thursdays
and Fridays in the public amenity area on the south portion of the lot.
STAFF EVALUATION:
Pursuant to Chapter 26.470.060(7), Temporary Food Vending must comply with a list of
criteria before being considered for approval. These criteria address such aspects like the
size of the cart, location, planned period of operation, Environmental Health Dept.
approvals, and the required approval from the property owner and adjacent businesses.
Due to Aspen's commercial environment, all potential food vendors must receive
approval from the property owner and adjacent businesses. This control mechanism
ensures that a fair and reasonable market is maintained within the City limits. Without
this requirement, there is a potential of food vendors offering a product that is in direct
competition with an existing and adjacent business. The Applicant has obtained all
necessary approvals for this operation.
In addition to the compliance listed above, the Applicant has designed a cart that meets
the size limitation of fifty (50) square feet. This includes a set of tables where the
produce will be on display and a cashier table for transactions. All activity will take
place on the tables and in the proximity of the cashier table. Environmental Health has
reviewed the application and has found it satisfactory. The Applicant has also stated that
the period of operation will be February through July, 2011, which does not violate the
current allotment of six (6) months. For Staff's response to the review criteria see
"Exhibit A."

DECISION:
Staff finds that the Growth Management Quota System application for Temporary
Outdoor Food Vending, provided by Jack Reed of Roots and Shoots, should be
granted. The location on private property at 121 South Galena Street is appropriate
for the food vending cart and Staff finds that the operation meets all applicable
criteria. The location has no building or access concerns. Fire Codes will not be
affected as long as right-of-ways are maintained. The property owner and adjacent
businesses have granted their consent for this operation.

REVIEW CRITERIA & STAFF FINDINGS:
26.470.060(7) GMQS, Temporary Outdoor Food Vending
Temporary Food Vending on private property or public property that is subject to a mall
lease for food vending or outdoor restaurant seating in the Commercial Core (CC) or
Commercial Lodge (CL) Zone Districts shall be approved, approved with conditions or
denied by the Community Development Director based on the following criteria:
a. Location. All outdoor food vending shall be located in the Commercial Core (CC)
zone district. Temporary food vending may operate in interior arcades of
buildings within the Commercial Core and Commercial Lodge zone districts only
if the approval of the property owner and of all businesses that have access in the
arcade has been granted. The temporary operation shall under no circumstance be
located in the public right-of-way. The normal operation of the food cart,
including line queues, shall not inhibit the movement of pedestrian or vehicular
traffic along the public right-of-way. Other criteria that all applications must be
in compliance with:
1) Multiple vending sites shall not be allowed for any single owner or entity.
2) The food cart shall be in a consistent location as is practically reasonable and
not intended to move on a daily basis throughout the duration of the permit.
3) The food vending cart shall be placed in a location that does not interfere with
required emergency egress or pose a threat to public health, safety and
welfare. A minimum of six (6) foot ingress/egress shall be maintained for
building entrances and exits.
4) Before a food vending cart can begin operating, it must receive approval from
the property owner and all adjacent businesses.
Staff Response: All of the above criteria have been met. Roots and Shoots have
committed to setting up the stand in the same location each time and to maintain
ingress/egress for the adjacent business. The property owner and adjacent
businesses have approved of this operation. Staff finds this criterion met.
b. Operation Plan. The Applicant shall create an operation plan to include in all
letters that seek approval from the property owner or adjacent businesses. The
operation plan shall contain the following information, at a minimum:
1) Months of intended operation
2) Hours of operation
3) Location
Page 3of 6
• 0
4) Comprehensive list of all food and beverage being served.
If any element of the operation plan is altered after a Temporary Outdoor Food
Vending permit has been issued, the Community Development Director has the
ability to revoke the issued permit.
Staff Response: An operation plan has been created and signed for consent by
the property owner and adjacent businesses. The Applicant is aware of the
consequences for violating this operation plan. Staff fmds this criterion met.
c. Duration. The temporary food vending operation shall be permitted to operate for
a period of six (6) months. The six (6) month period shall begin on the same the
date that the Notice of Approval is signed by the Community Development
Director. This six (6) month period may not be separated into non-consecutive
periods. Once the six (6) month timeframe has expired, the operation shall be
subject to an additional review and permit process. The Community
Development Director shall consider a returning vendor's past performance in
considering a permit renewal. This shall include, but shall not be limited to, input
from the Environmental Health Department, Chief of Police, special event staff,
and feedback from adjacent businesses.
The Community Development Director may require a temporary cancelation of
operations to accommodate special events, holidays, or similar large public
gatherings. Such action will be taken if it is determined that the food cart will
create a public safety issue or create an excessive burden on the event activities.
The Community Development Director may revoke the permit and cause removal
of the vending operation if the vendor fails to accommodate such a request.
Staff Response: The Applicant is aware of the six month timeframe and will
attempt renewal upon expiration if there is a desire to continue the operation.
Staff finds this criterion met.
d. Fee. The permit fee for a food vending cart shall be the current fee listed in Land
Use Code Section 26.104.070, Land use application fees.
Staff Response: The Applicant has paid the applicable fee for this review. Staff
finds this criterion met.
e. Size. The area of outdoor food vending activities does not exceed fifty (50) square
feet. The area of outdoor food vending activities shall be defined as a counter
area, equipment needed for the food vending activities (e.g. cooler with drinks,
snow cone machine, popcorn machine, etc.), and the space needed by employees
to work the food vending activity.
Staff Response: This operation is not the traditional cart that is typical the
subject of review for Temporary Food Vending. Instead, the proposed plan
includes a set of individual tables with produce on them and a cashiers table for
Page 4of 6
transaction. This is acceptable so long as the total footprint of this activity does
not exceed 50 sq. ft. Staff finds this criterion met.
f. Number. The number of Temporary Outdoor Food Vending carts allowed within
the City of Aspen at any given time shall be limited to four (4). This number shall
be based upon valid Land Use Applications approved by the Community
Development Director. Food vending locations within interior arcades are
exempt from this limitation.
Staff Response: At the time of this review, Roots and Shoots will be the only
outdoor food vending operation within the city limits. There is a valid permit
elsewhere in the city, but the operation is not currently active. Staff finds this
criterion met.
g. Signage. Signage for temporary food vending carts shall be exempt from those
requirements found within Land Use Code Section 26.510, Signs, but not
excluding Prohibited Signs. The total amount of signage shall be the lesser of
fifty percent (50%) of the surface area of the front of the cart, or six (6) square
feet. Sign(s) shall be painted on or affixed to the cart. Any logos, lettering, or
signage on umbrellas or canopies counts towards this calculation. Food carts may
have a sandwich board sign in accordance with the regulations found within
Chapter 26.510.
Staff Response: Roots and Shoots plan on using a sandwich board sign. This is
acceptable as long as it remains in the private property and not in the public right-
of-way. Staff finds this criterion met.
h. Abandonment. The City of Aspen may remove an abandoned food vending
operation, or components thereof, in order protect public health, safety, and
welfare. Costs of such remediation shall be the sole burden of the property
owner.
Staff Response: The Applicant is aware of this provision. Staff finds this
criterion met.
i. Environmental Health. An application to the Community Development Director
for temporary outdoor food vending shall only be submitted and approved
subsequent to submitting and obtaining approval of a food service plan from the
Environmental Health Department. The area of outdoor food vending activities
shall include recycling bins and a waste disposal container that shall be emptied
daily and stored inside at night and when the outdoor food vending activities are
not in operation. Additionally, no outdoor, open -flame char -broiling shall be
permitted pursuant to Municipal Code Section 13.08.100, Restaurant Grills.
Staff Response: Environmental Health has reviewed this proposal and issued an
approval. Staff finds this criterion met.
Page 5of 6
j. Affordable Housing Waiver. The Community Development Director shall waive
affordable housing mitigation fees associated with the temporary new net leasable
square footage being created by outdoor food vending activities.
Staff Response: The Affordable Housing requirement has been waived for this
application. Staff finds this criterion met.
k. Year-round Operation. The outdoor food vending activities may occur year-
round. An application for an approval of temporary outdoor vending activities
shall not constitute nor be interpreted by any property owner, developer, vendor,
or court as a site specific development plan entitled to vesting under Article 68 of
Title 24 of the Colorado Revised Statutes or Chapter 26.308 of this Title.
Approvals granted in this subsection are subject to revocation by the City
Manager or Community Development Director without requiring prior notice.
Staff Response: The Applicant does not wish to pursue a year-round approval at
this time; therefore this criterion is not applicable.
1. Maintenance and public safety. An application for temporary outdoor food vending
activities shall not diminish the general public health, safety or welfare and shall
abide by applicable City regulations, including but not limited to building codes,
health safety codes, fire codes, liquor laws, sign and lighting codes, and sales tax
license regulations.
Staff Response: This temporary vending operation should not diminish the
public health, safety, or welfare. Environmental Health has completed a review
of the project and the Applicant is committed to keeping ingress/egress paths open
for fire protection purposes. Staff finds this criterion met.

Agreement for Payment of City of Aspen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and `�� �. "G� ��X�,��c
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
I. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that the City of Aspen has an adopted fee structure for Land
Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent to a determination of application
completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it
is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application.
APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings and/or approvals. APPLICANT agrees he
will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the
CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty
of recovering its full costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning
Commission and/or City Council to enable the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning
Commission and/or City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings
are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect
full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the
amount of $ SO-** which is for hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual
recorded costs exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse
the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $245.00
per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing, and
in no case will building permits be issued until all costs associated with case processing have been paid.
