WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that this resolution

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO THAT:
Section 1: Approvals
Pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal
Code, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends City Council approval
of a Specially Planned Area (SPA) amendment to the Rio Grande SPA, and an Essential
Public Facility Growth Management Review.
Prior to City Council review, the City of Aspen and the Applicant shall determine if 6`
and / or 7 Penny funds were used to purchase the land on which Theatre Aspen
resides. If either of these funds were used, the City Attorney will review whether a
change in the theatre use to include the lobby structure complies with the ballot language
approving those funds, and whether such change is in compliance with the City
charter. These findings shall be presented to City Council during their review.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the approvals contained herein be
contingent upon Theatre Aspen's continued location in Rio Grande Park. The Planning
and Zoning Commission further recommends that if Theatre Aspen leaves their current
location, the approvals herein become void.
Section 2: Design
The permanent lobby structure shall comply with the plan shown at the November 1
2011 P &Z meeting, and attached as Exhibit A.
The tent framing shall be covered with a roof, as weather allows, from April to October
of each calendar year.
From October to April of each calendar year, the tent framing shall not be covered with a
roof. Temporary sides shall be installed to shield the stage and seating from view. The
stage and seating shall be under protective cover and located on the existing concrete pad.
This is attached as Exhibit B.
Theatre Aspen shall provide a security check of the site at least three times per week to
ensure the site remains safe and secure.
Section 3: Signage
Resolution No 20, Series 2011
Page 2 of 5
A revised signage plan reflecting changes discussed with staff and the Planning and
Zoning Commission shall be submitted to staff prior to City Council review. This shall
include replacing a proposed marquee sign with a less imposing sign on a low -lying rock,
as outlined in the P &Z meeting on November 1, 2011 and the staff memo for said
meeting.
Section 4: Temporary Fencing
The temporary fencing shown in Exhibit C shall be temporary, and shall only be erected
during the theatre season, but no longer than from mid -May to mid - September each year.
Before City Council Review, the applicant shall determine the minimum dimensions
required to comply with the Actors' Equity Association Small Professional Theatre
Rulebook, Sec. 48.A.2 -4. The fencing shall be constructed in a manner that does not
prevent or limit the use of the trash enclosure for trash storage.
Section 5: Essential Public Facility Growth Management Review - Affordable
Housing Mitigation
Theatre Aspen shall conduct an employee audit one year after final City Council approval
for the permanent lobby structure. Volunteer hours shall not be included in the audit. Any
additional employees that are not a result of the Rio Grande improvements shall be
indicated in the report. However, only those employees that are a result of the
improvements shall be subject to future mitigation. The Housing Authority shall request
the audit from Theatre Aspen. Failure to request the audit shall not render any of the
approvals invalid. Theatre Aspen shall provide the Housing Authority and the Community
Development Department with the audit report. The Housing Authority and Community
Development shall forward the audit to the Housing Board, P &Z and/or City Council for
review, as applicable.
Section 6: Parks
Theatre Aspen shall coordinate all improvements with the Parks Department to ensure
they comply with the Parks Department's Master Plan for Rio Grande Park.
The applicant shall ensure the site is clean and secure at all times. The applicant shall
work with the Parks Department to ensure compliance during the fall and winter months
when the tent is taken down each year.
Section 7: Environmental Health
Theatre Aspen shall undertake a noise monitoring program for its productions to ensure
compliance with the City's noise ordinance. The noise monitoring program shall verify
compliance with the noise ordinance, by Theatre Aspen staff, before opening night of each
production. It shall also include continued monitoring throughout the summer theatre
season given background noise levels may vary. Noise level readings shall be taken at
multiple locations along the property line of the Rio Grande Park. The noise monitoring
program shall be filed with the City of Aspen Environmental Health Department, who may
require it to be updated as needed.
Resolution No 20, Series 2011
Page 3 of 5
Concessions at the tent historically have only been pre - packaged, non - potentially hazardous
foods, and beverages without ice, due to the fact that Theatre Aspen does not hold a food
service license nor have permanent plumbing. For special events serving food held at
Theatre Aspen a temporary food permit must be submitted for approval to the Aspen
Environmental Health Department prior to the event to ensure the protection of public
health.
Section 8: Engineering
The Applicant's design shall be compliant with all sections of the City of Aspen
Municipal Code, Title 21 and all construction and excavation standards published by the
Engineering Department. A construction management plan should be submitted as part
of building permit.
Section 9: Exterior Lighting
All exterior lighting shall meet the requirements of the City's Outdoor Lighting Code
pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.575.150, Outdoor lighting. No lighting shall be
permitted in the stream margin area (fifteen (15) foot setback area from top of slope) or in
any area below the top of slope line (toward the river) unless it is in the exact location of
the existing lighting and requires no additional disturbance to the stream margin area.
Section 10: Theatre Aspen Lease
Within 180 days of City Council approval, Theatre Aspen shall re- execute their long-
term lease on the Rio Grande Park to reflect any changes that result from said approvals.
Section 11:
All material representations and commitments made by the Applicant pursuant to the
development proposal approvals as herein awarded, whether in public hearing or
documentation presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council, are
hereby incorporated in such plan development approvals and the same shall be complied
with as if fully set forth herein, unless amended by an authorized entity.
Section 12:
This Resolution shall not affect any existing litigation and shall not operate as an
abatement of any action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances
repealed or amended as herein provided, and the same shall be conducted and concluded
under such prior ordinances.
Section 13:
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for
any reason held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such
portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions thereof.
APPROVED BY the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Aspen on this 1st
day of November, 2011.
