The application is submitted pursuant to Section 8-104.B.1. a. of the Aspen Land Use Regulations by Aspen Bank Shares, Ltd. (dba, the Pitkin County Bank & Trust Company), the owner of the property (see Exhibit 2, Letter from Pitkin County Bank). Permission for Vann Associates, Planning Consultants, to represent the Applicant is attached as Exhibit 3. Background On December 17, 1990, the City Council awarded the Applicant a commercial GMQS allotment for the expansion of the Pitkin County Bank & Trust Company building (see Exhibit 4, City Council Resolution No. 58-90). The allotment consisted of two thousand two hundred and forty (2,240) square feet of net leasable area which is to be used to add a second floor to the bank building and to expand its mezzanine. Relevant development data pertaining to the previously approved expansion is summarized in Table 1 below. Table 1 DEVELOPMENT DATA 1. Existing Zoning 2. Total Site Area (Sq. Ft.)'

The City Council also approved a GMQS exemption for the construction of a deed restricted dwelling unit at the Messiah Lutheran Church (see Exhibit 5, Resolution No. 5-91). The unit was designed to mitigate a portion of the Applicant's GMQS 0 5� Ms. Kim Johnson July 17, 1992 Page 3 affordable housing requirement and is presently under construction. The Bank expansion, however, has been temporarily postponed. Proposed Development In the interim, the Applicant would like to remodel a portion of the Bank's existing ground floor and mezzanine to enhance customer service. As the accompanying architectural plans illustrate, the Applicant proposes to enclose an existing opening in the ground floor, and to extend the mezzanine to include the full width of the building. The resulting increase in the building's floor area and net leasable area is approximately three hundred and seventy (370) square feet. As noted previously, the Bank received an allocation for two thousand two hundred and forty (2,240) square feet of net leasable area in the 1990 GMQS competition. While a portion of this allotment could be used for the proposed remodel, an insufficient amount of net leasable area would remain to accommodate the Bank's future expansion. Please note that two (2) of the areas to be enclosed in connection with the remodel were not included in the original GMQS application. These two areas total approximately two hundred and forty (240) square feet of additional net leasable area over and above the original GMQS allocation. Revised floor area and net leasable calculations for the original expansion plus the remodel are provided in Table 2 below. Table 2 REVISED DEVELOPMENT DATA 1. Maximum Allowable External Floor Area 9,030 @ 1.5:1 (Sq. Ft.)' 2. Revised Floor Area (Sq. Ft.) 9,090 Basement None 4,210 Ground Floor 1,300 Mezzanine 3,580 Second Floor 3.

As Table 2 indicates, the building's revised floor area exceeds the property's maxi- mum allowable floor area by sixty (60) square feet. To resolve this problem, the Applicant will revise the plans for the previously approved expansion so as to remove sixty square feet of floor area. The revision will occur prior to the issuance of a building permit for the expansion. Review Requirements Pursuant to Section 8-104.B.1.a. of the Regulations, the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve a GMQS exemption for the expansion of an existing commercial building by not more than five hundred (500) square feet of net leasable area, provided that it can be demonstrated that the expansion will have minimum impact on the City. The applicable review criteria, and the proposed remodel's compliance therewith, are summarized as follows. 1. A minimal number of additional employees will be generated by the expansion. The proposed remodel will increase the building's net leasable square footage by two hundred and forty (240) square feet. Based on an employee generation factor of three and one-half (3-1/2) employees per one thousand (1,000) square feet of additional net leasable area, proposed remodel will theoretically generate 0.84 new employees calculated as follows. 240 Sq. Ft. Net Leasable _ 1,000 Sq. Ft. = 0.24 0.24 x 3.5 Employees/1,000 Sq. Ft. = 0.84 Employees Pursuant to Section 8-106.F(5)(c) of the Regulations, a proposed develop- ment need only provide affordable housing for a minimum of sixty (60) percent of the employees generated by the development. As a result, the proposed remodel will theoretically require the provision of affordable housing, or the cash -in -lieu equivalent thereof, for 0.50 employees. As noted previously, a three (3) bedroom, affordable housing unit is presently under construction at the Messiah Lutheran Church. The unit has been deed restric- ted as required pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 5-91, and will provide housing for three (3) employees. The Bank's remaining 1.7 employee mitigation requirement is to be met via a payment -in -lieu at such time as the second floor is constructed. As the original expansion has been temporarily postponed, the Appli- • 0 Ms. Kim Johnson July 17, 1992 Page 5 cant proposes to mitigate the 0.50 additional employee requirement which arises from the proposed remodel with the affordable housing unit presently under construction. The Applicant will increase the remaining cash -in -lieu payment to reflect the additional requirement. The revised payment will be $77,000.00 calculat- ed as follows. Original Affordable Housing Requirement 2,240 Sq. Ft. Net Leasable - 1,000 Sq. Ft. = 2.24 2.24 x 3.5 Employees/1,000 Sq. Ft. = 7.84 Employees 7.84 Employees x 0.60 = 4.7 Employees Revised Payment -in -Lieu Requirement 4.7 Employees - 3 Employees Housed = 1.7 Employees 1.7 Employees + 0.5 Employees = 2.2 Employees 2.2 Employees x $35,000.00/Employee = $77,000.00 2. A minimal amount of additional parking spaces will be required by the expansion. The off-street parking requirement for commercial uses in the CC, Commer- cial Core, zone district is two (2) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of net leasable area. The proposed remodel's parking requirement, therefore, would be calculated as follows. 240 Sq. Ft. Net Leasable _ 1,000 Sq. Ft. = 0.24 0.24 x 2.0 Spaces/1,000 Sq. Ft. = 0.48 Spaces Pursuant to Section 5-301.E. of the Regulations, fractional parking require- ments are disregarded if they are less than one-half (1/2) space. As a result, no additional parking will be required by the proposed remodel. 3. The expansion will have minimal visual impact on the neighborhood. The proposed remodel will have no visual impact on the surrounding neigh- borhood, as all improvements will be confined to the interior of the building. 4. Minimal demand will be placed on the City's public facilities by the expansion. As discussed in the Applicant's 1990 GMQS application, all utilities and public facilities are adequate to serve the expanded building. No additional demand 0 • Ms. Kim Johnson July 17, 1992 Page 6 will be placed on the City's utilities or public facilities as a result of the proposed remodel. Should you have any questions, or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call. As the Applicant would like to commence construction on the remodel as soon as possible, any assistance you may be able to provide in the timely processing of our application would be sincerely appreciated.

Att Jan C rney, Deputy.- ity Clerk Planning d Zonin Commission: Jasmine Tygre, Chair ,zs MEMORANDUM 1,n TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner RE: Pitkin County Bank - GMQS Exemption for Commercial Expansion Less than 500 s.f. DATE: September 8, 1992 SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends approval with conditions for GMQS Exemption for commercial expansion of 240 s.f. at Pitkin County Bank. The expansion results from the redesign of the ground floor and mezzanine. APPLICANT: Pitkin County Bank, Charles Israel, represented by Sunny Vann LOCATION: 534 E. Hyman (Lot 4, Pitkin Center Subdivision) ZONING: CC (Commercial Core) APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The Applicant seeks GMQS Exemption for expansion of commercial net leasable area of a total of 240 s.f. The new net leasable area is proposed by extending the second level mezzanine throughout the full width of the bank building and by enclosing an open area on the ground floor. In order to comply with employee housing mitigation requirements for this expansion, the Applicant proposes to use deed restricted housing currently being constructed at the Messiah Lutheran Church. See floor plans, Attachment "A". STAFF COMMENTS: The Pitkin County Bank received a Growth Management allotment for 2,240 s.f. of net leasable commercial area in 1990. This square footage was to involve a new second floor and an expanded mezzanine. As part of the approval, the Bank had to provide housing mitigation for 4.7 employees. The Bank subsequently received approval from City Council to supply housing for 3 employees by constructing a three bedroom deed restricted housing unit at Messiah Lutheran Church and by paying cash -in -lieu for the remaining 1.7 persons. According to the application, the Bank has postponed construction of the entire 1990 allotment. The Bank is pursuing the current proposal as an interim expansion project to l ove customer service. The current expansion plan calls for 70 f. of new area, of which 130 s.f. received allocation in 199-0 Therefore, the remaining 240 s.f. must be approved by this GMQ Exemption application. Section 8-104 B.l.a. gives the Commission authority to grant GMQS Exemption for expansion of commercial or office net leasable area not to exceed 500 cumulative square feet. It must be demonstrated that minimal impact will occur upon the City. Impacts of additional employees, parking required, visual impact on the neighborhood, and demand on City's public facilities shall be considered in the review process. Employee Generation: The Land Use Code states that employee generation is based on square footage of net leasable. The employee generation based on the 240 s.f. expansion is 0.5 employee. The following formula was used to calculate the 0.5 figure: 0.24 (% of 1,000 s.f.) X 3.5 (employees per 1,000 s.f.) X .6 (minimum GMP threshold). As the entire 1990 GMP square footage allotted to the Bank is not being built at this time and the construction of the three bedroom unit has begun, the Bank is proposing to accomplish the 0.5 employee housing requirement via the unit at the Church. In return for "using" part of this housing for the GMQS exemption at this time, the Bank will increase its cash -in -lieu payment by 0.5 employee (1.7 + .5 = 2.2 employees) when construction begins under the 1990 allocation. Housing Office Director Tom Baker and Planning staff have no objections to this housing proposal. Parking: Based on CC zone parking requirements of 2 spaces per 1,000 s.f. of net leasable, parking generated by the increased square footage is 0.48 space. Section 5-301 E. states that parking requirements of less than 1/2 of a parking space are disregarded. Visual and Public Facilities Impacts: There will be no negative visible impact resulting from this 240 s.f. internal expansion. No added impacts are anticipated on public facilities as a result of this expansion. There have been no previous expansions of net leasable within this structure. If this request is approved, there will be 260 s.f. square feet remaining for future GMQS Exemptions. The FAR of the current proposal meets zone district requirements. The application does state that with the future addition of the 1990 GMP allocation allowable FAR will be exceeded by 60 s.f. The Applicant recognizes this and commits to revise building plans for the previous allotment at the time of building permit for that major expansion.
