I. INTRODUCTION
This application is submitted pursuant to Section 24-11.5 of
the Aspen Municipal Code and requests a Commercial Growth
Management allocation to develop the 3,000 square foot parcel of
land at 121 S. Galena (Little Cliff's) hereinafter referred to as
the "STOREHOUSE BUILDING". The property consists of Lot 5, Block
87, City of Aspen. It occupies the Northwest corner of E.
Hopkins Avenue and Galena Street and is zoned CC, Commercial
Core. As verified by the Pitkin County Building Department, the
'
property's existing improvements consist of a one story concrete
block building of 1,326.40 square feet and a walk-in cooler of
92.51 square feet, or 1,420 square feet of improvements currently
occupied by Little Cliff's Bakery. The owner as of this date is
the Rowland Estate. The applicant is Mr. Gregg Gibb who has the
property under contract for closing on August 26, 1986. The
'
agent for this application is Perry Harvey.
A) Project Description
' There are two phases to this project, both of which provide
tangible benefits to the Aspen Community. The first is the
' removal of the most rundown and least notable building in the
Aspen Core area. The second is the construction of a new
building with quality materials and sensitive design, to house
two quaint and established businesses; Nature's Storehouse and
Little Cliffs Bakery. The applicant, Gregg Gibb, is the owner of
Nature's Storehouse and is creating a permanent home for this
' Aspen institution through this project. Little Cliffs has been
offered space for a bakery and retail outlet but has not yet
' committed to a lease. In the event Little Cliff's does not
occupy the space, Nature's Storehouse will open a bakery and
yoghurt cafe, thus ensuring the preservation on the site of the
infamous "Donut Tree". This project makes economic sense only
because it is owned by the owners of Nature's Storehouse. The
'
success of this application means two distinctive Aspen Business
will be preserved.
The new building will contain 4,497 square feet (external
floor area). The ground floor of some 2,100 square feet will
contain the retail bakery area and Nature's Storehouse, which
'
will move from its present location in the C-1 district at 620 E.
1
Hyman. The basement of some 3,000 square feet is configured for
a bakery, mechanical room, storage areas and a bulk goods display
area for Nature's Storehouse. The second, or top floor, will
consist of roughly 1,180 square feet of professional office space
has
with a separate entrance off of E. Hopkins Avenue. The roof
been designed with a parapet to conceal the building's mechanical
systems.
rThe
Storehouse Building will result in a net increase in
commercial external floor area of 3,077 square feet, the new
floor less the
building's 4,497 square feet of external area
1,420 square feet of existing commercial floor area to be
reconstructed as part of this proposal.

1. Water System: Existing utilities in the immediate
area are shown on Drawing 2; Existing Conditions, Page 4. Water
' service to the project will be provided by a new service line
connected to the existing 8" main in Galena Street. The
preliminary fixture count will include four bathrooms with four
' sinks, one urinal, and four toilets. The bakery, restaurant and
offices will have four sinks, two dishwashers and one shower.
The water department has indicated that a connection to the
existing service is acceptable and thus the existing City
infrastructure has the capacity and facilities to accommodate the
' proposed Storehouse Building (see Exhibit 1, Appendix Page 26.)
2. Sewage System. The project will be served by
either the existing 8" sewer located in the alley or the 20"
sewer located in Galena Street. The Aspen Consolidated
Sanitation District has indicated the anticipated flows will be
accommodated by the current facilities, with no need for
improvements to existing lines or treatment plant capacities (see
Exhibit 2, Appendix, Page 27).

3. Drainage System. Currently the site has no
provisions for control of runoff so all runoff is collected in
the City's storm drains. A sophisticated system will control
virtually all runoff on site. Roof drains will collect water and
channel it into a drywell beneath the building. Runoff from
impervious surfaces will also be directed into drywells. Grading
of open space and heating of the Plaza and walks for snow melt
will eliminate existing problems of standing water and ice
buildup. These measures will also increase pedestrian safety on
the site. The City Engineer has indicated that this plan
represents a substantial improvement to the City storm sewer
system as a whole.
4. Development Data. The following table summarizes
the site and development data for the Storehouse Building.
TABLE 1
STOREHOUSE BUILDING SITE AND DEVELOPMENT DATA
LOT AREA 3,000 SQ. FT.
BUILDING FOOTPRINT 2,114 SQ. FT.
OPEN SPACE 750.5 SQ. FT.
EXTERNAL FLOOR AREA 4,497 SQ. FT.
EXTERNAL FLOOR AREA RATIO 1.49 TO 1
EXISTING COMMERCIAL CREDIT 1,420 SQ. FT.
1986 COMMERCIAL GMP REQUEST 3,077 SQ. FT.
5. Traffic and Parking. The City Engineer has
indicated that the proposed project will have no negative impact
on the existing street system. Galena Street and E. Hopkins
Avenue currently function below allowable capacity levels. The
I
location is in itself an auto disincentive as it is one block
from the mall and the City bus serves the corner of Main and
'
Galena. The current number of parking spaces on
the streets will
be maintained by the project. Currently the
owner of Little
Cliff's parks from time to time on the site between
the Galena
Street sidewalk and the building. We feel that
this is not only
'
an unsightly use on the property, but also should not be accepted
'
as an off-street parking space by the
current City
administration. As Nature's Storehouse has a
large local and
'
tourist clientele, locating this well known
business in the
commercial core rather than the C-1 district
should reduce
'
overall auto traffic within the City. As
a further auto
' disincentive, bike racks will be provided in the Plaza area.
6. Proposed Uses. The Storehouse Building is being
' custom built for the Nature's Storehouse format of market and
cafeteria restaurant and for Little Cliff's type of bakery. The
owner of the property is the owner of Nature's Storehouse so this
' use is assured. Little Cliff's has not as yet committed. In the
event Little Cliff's elects not to rent space, the Nature's
' Storehouse management will open a bakery and yoghurt cafe in the
northern most space.
Given the architectural design, the second floor space of
' 1,180 square feet will be leased as professional office.
7. Impact on Adjacent Uses. The Storehouse Building
site has for many years housed the Little Cliff's wholesale and
retail bakery. The site is zoned, CC, Commercial Core. The
' proposed uses are consistent with the intent of the zone and are
compatible with adjacent land uses. The Storehouse serves a
7
I
large population of locals and tourists. This central location
will encourage pedestrian access. Finally, having an attractive
' new building with a large open plaza for seating will enhance
this block of Galena, encouraging pedestrian traffic between the
' mall and the commercial area at the corner of Mill and Main.
8.
Construction Schedule. Upon successful receipt of
a growth
management
allocation and approval of all incidental
'
reviews
as required,
construction will begin immediately. The
current
lease
for Nature's Storehouse expires in the spring of
1987, so the
goal is to have the new building completed by
'
spring.
Should
this plan prove impractical construction will
begin in
early
spring of 1987 for completion in the summer.
9.
Employee Housing Proposal. In meetings with the
Housing
office
the following employee generation formula was
'
arrived
at:
A.
The second floor space, consists of 1,078 square
feet of net leasable office space and generates 3.0
' employees per 1,000 square feet resulting in a total of
3.2 employees.
' B. The ground floor 1,902 square feet consists of 245
' feet of retail/wholesale bakery at 3.5 employees per
1 ,000 square feet, for a total of .86 employees.
' Nature's Storehouse will occupy 1,657 square feet,
divided equally between retail/wholesale sales and
' cafeteria restaurant. The former generates 3.5
' employees per 1,000 square feet, or 2.9 employees,
while the latter generates 5.0 employees per square
' foot, resulting in 4.1 employees.
C. The basement, net of storage, mechanical room,
' hallways and bathrooms, totals 852 square feet of
retail/wholesale space. This is computed at 3.5
employees per 1,000 square feet, for a total of 3.0
employees.
Thus the Storehouse
Building will generate
14.0 employees.
The existing 1,420 square
feet of commercial space is categorized
as retail/wholesale with
an employee generation factor of 3.5 per
'
1,000 square feet. This
results in a credit for
the project of 5
employees, resulting in a generation of 9.0 new
employees due to
construction of the Storehouse
Building.

We propose to provide housing for 3.5 employees, or 39% of
the new employees generated. Specifically, we will comply with
Section 5 of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 1986, in which a new
Section 24-11.10 (i) (3) provides for payment of an employee
housing dedication fee based on the formula as approved by the
City Council's housing designee. This formula calls for a cash
payment at time of building permit of $20,000 per employee for
low income housing, $13,300 per employee for moderate income
housing, or $9,000 per employee for middle income housing. We
will contribute to the creation of low income housing by paying
$20,000 per employee, for a total contribution of $70,000.
In agreeing to this cash payment (increasing the building
cost by $15.50 per square foot) we maintain the right to work
with the Housing Office in a development partnership to create a
housing project specific to the Housing Office goals for 1986-
1987. This option could create immediate housing rather than
funding for a future project.

II. GROWTH MANAGEMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
The following section addresses the specific review criteria
for evaluation of the Storehouse Building. The information
presented herein represents the applicant's best efforts to
comply with the letter and the intent of the criteria. In every
category the project meets or exceeds the minimum standards. At
the end of each section we have given our requested scoring based
on our understanding of the criteria and our degree of compliance
therewith. As needed, please reference the appropriate sections
in 1.A of this submission for support of the following
representations.
A. Quality of Design. The design presented herein has
received preliminary approval from the Historic Preservation
Committee and will receive final HPC approval prior to issuance
of a building permit.
1. Architectural Design
The design is of great importance in that this is the first
building seen by residents and visitors alike when turning south
onto Galena. It is the entrance to the heart of historic Aspen.
The building has been designed to establish the elements of the
streetscape without competing with the significant buildings on
Galena; the Brand Building, Elks Building, and Independence
Lodge. The basic building form is linear to define the Galena
Street frontage and provide maximum open space in the south
facing portion. The building is thirty-three (33) feet high at
the tallest point, well below the allowable forty (40) feet in
the CC zone. The building design is segmented into three
separate masses; the retail space on the north end, the center
section with a pitched roof and the southern facade defining the
entrance to Nature's Storehouse and the plaza.
The principal building material will be brick, with some
sandstone, to effectively tie the building visually to the color
and texture of City Hall and the Brand Building. The large
ground floor windows integrate the building into the bright
outdoor dining space and echo the shop fronts of Galena Street.
The Storehouse Building has been designed to lead the eye up
Galena Street, to echo historic elements in the material and
detail while respecting the existing street scape. We are
'
responsible
in keeping the building low and
in maintaining a
contemporary
design at street level so as not
to compete with,
'
and in fact
complement, the historic buildings
which gracefully
lead the eye
toward the mountains.
Requested
Score: 3 points.
'
2.
Site Design. The concept for
the project's design
is to achieve
the perfect proportion between
the one lot, linear
site and the
structure. The goals are to minimize perceived
building bulk
while maximizing usable open
space and blending
1
with the streetscape of Galena Street.
As the site plan demonstrates, the pedestrian plaza is
landscaped with specimen sized trees and planters to incorporate
' garden seating with pedestrian flow along sidewalks. Sidewalks
patterned with brick and concrete have been designed to create an
open feeling and a blending of the walks with the plaza. The
' entire open space/sidewalk area will have snowmelt to increase
pedestrian safety and maximize the usability of the plaza. There
1 are two open space areas; the plaza, which qualifies under the
1
12
' code and meets the 25% of open space and, the area in the front
of the bakery. This space of almost 50 square feet, is for
outdoor seating and has been incorporated into the project even
though we receive no credit under the code for its inclusion.
This open space has been created to maintain the tradition of
' Little Cliff's for outdoor seating and to break up the mass of
the building. Additionally the applicant will spend the money to
' create a brick facade on the exposed wall of the thrift shop
where it abuts the plaza so as to create a unity of richness for
the plaza area and the brick of the Storehouse Building. All
'
utilities in the area will be placed underground. Access for
service and delivery vehicles will be via the alley, eliminating
'
the intrusion into spaces which currently
of vehicles people
'
exists from vehicles sitting on the Galena Street frontage of the
site.
'
Requested Score: 3 points.
3. Energy Conservation. The project has been
designed to maximize the conservation of energy and the use of
the site for exposure to, and retention of, solar heat gain.
Specific measures include the following:
'
a) Building siting and orientation. The building has
been oriented to give all spaces eastern and southern
'
exposure. The upper floor will have an additional
'
southwestern orientation. The greatest benefits for
this site are derived from early morning and midday
solar gain to heat the building during business hours.
b) Solar utilisation. The flooring on the southern
' end of Nature's Storehouse will be tile to collect and
1 13
1
'
store solar energy. The light well
from the patio to
the lower level tiled floor will
create additional
solar gain for the building. It is
anticipated that
the building will be heated largely
by passive solar
in the brick
tile flooring.
gain, stored walls and
c) Insulation. It is expected that
the heat loss will
be significantly reduced through the
use of insulation
'
in the walls and roof far in excess
of current energy
code requirements.
td)
Mechanical. The Storehouse
building will be
heated, cooled and ventilated using the latest state-
of-the-art minimum energy technology. Heating and
cooling will employ an energy efficient pulse system.
Exhaust systems will be installed to transfer excess
' heat from cooking areas throughout the building.
Cooling and ventilation will be provided by an
indirect -direct evaporative air handling system. Air
' from this system will be circulated through ducts to
provide conditioned air to the occupied systems.
' The building spaces will be heated primarily by
' solar gain with supplemental forced air and electric
baseboard units. The mechanical systems will be zoned
' to allow shut off of unoccupied spaces and efficient
control throughout the day and under all conceivable
occupancy conditions.
tRequested Score: 3 points.
1 14
I I
4. Amenities. The provision of amenities for the
users of a project and for the community as a whole is relative
to the location of the project and amount of available land. The
objective for this property is to create a special use building
for Nature's Storehouse and Little Cliff's bakery. These
businesses have provided inviting and functional open space and
the owners intend to expand on that tradition. The open space
meets the City requirements and occupies the most visible and
attractive portion of the site. Additional outdoor space has
' been created by the bakery for pedestrian and customer use.
These spaces, combined with the snow melt on the sidewalk and the
use of patterned, concrete and brick in sidewalks and the patio,
enhance the experience for pedestrians. The size of the site and
location relative to established and proposed pedestrian and
bicycle paths makes inclusion of these amenities unnecessary.
As mentioned in Section
II.A.2., the open
space and
sidewalks will be heavily landscaped.
Specimen size
trees and
'
planters will enrich the plaza
and enhance the softness of the
architecture. Dining furniture
will further encourage
the public
'
enjoyment of this plaza amenity.
Requested Score:
3 points.

thus we are requesting
special review
approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission pursuant to
section 24 3.5 (b) for a trash

The proposed area is eight (8)
feet by twelve (12) feet
by twelve
(12) feet vertical.
'
Discussions with
the City
Engineer, suppliers for the
tenants of the building
and with
Tony Vagneur of B.F.I. Waste
Systems have resulted
in approval
of the design based on the
' following solutions:
a) An efficient delivery system will result from
finstallation of a motor driven conveyor belt from
I
inside the service door to the basement storage
room. Unloading will be accomplished by employees
and suppliers efficiently with no need to stack
boxes in the service access area. Deliveries to
the bakery are made by two suppliers, one on
Tuesday and one on Friday. Nature's Storehouse
receives supplies six days a week, from one
supplier each day.
b) The City Engineer has reviewed and approved
the placement of all utility meters on the west
wall of the trash and utility access area.
c) B.F.I. Waste Systems serves the current
bakery three times weekly to empty a two cubic
yard container. Nature's Storehouse historically
generates two cubic yards of refuse daily.
Assuming seven days a week operations, this is
fourteen cubic yards, or twenty cubic yards weekly
with a bakery. According to Mr. Vagneur the

5. Visual Impact. Great care has been taken with the
scale and location of the Storehouse Building. It sits at the
' entrance to Galena Street, Aspen's primary North -South artery for
residents and visitors alike. This is a street of historic
' buildings with storefronts from Main Street to Durant. The
applicant has created a building in keeping with the storefront
1 scale of Galena, beginning with the one story bakery, rising to a
maximum height of 33 feet (the CC zone allows 40 feet) and ending
on the south end of the property with the warmth of the plaza and
' outdoor summer dining. This conscientious approach to the site
accomplishes three goals;
1) Creation of a warm and human scale to this extremely
important streetscape, and
2)
Creation of open space and circulation patterns which
highlight the public views of the scenic buildings and
Aspen Mountain from the plaza and from the interior of
the building itself.
3)
Maintenance of views for all other buildings. The
siting of the Storehouse Building is such that no view
'
from any other building is affected and overall views
are improved by this building's existence.
'
Requested Score: 3 points.
'
6. Trash and Utility Access. Section 24-3.7 (H-4) of
the Aspen
Zoning Code requires a utility/trash service area for a
building
site up to 6,000 square feet of twenty (20) feet by ten
(10) feet. Of this space, fifteen feet is for box storage,
utility
transformers or building access, and five (5) feet for
'
trash facilities. This lot is only thirty (30) feet wide and
18

r,
generation from the office space will be
"minimal".
In discussions with Mr. Vagneur, the building
will require installation of a compactor. Space
analysis indicates that if a compactor will not
fit in the service area adjacent to the alley, a
compactor will be placed in the basement storage
room in proximity to the conveyor belt. As the
belt will be motor driven, transportation of trash
to the container will present no problem. The
proposed compactor provides a four to one
reduction, creating five cubic yards weekly, or
fifty percent of capacity, requiring service three
times weekly. This system and schedule of
service, should it under estimate actual volume,
need only have an increase in removal frequency to
insure its adequacy.
While this project requests a reduction from code
requirements due to site constraints, we meet all the
requirements of adequacy of trash and delivery vehicle access,
unique measures for compaction of trash, adequacy of area for
utility meter placement and access, and unique measures for
facilitating and expediting deliveries to the building.
Requested Score: 2 points.
B. Availability of Public Facilities and Services.
The impact of the Storehouse Building on Public Services is
described in this section.

F
1. Water Supply and Fire Protection. The water
department has stated that the project will be serviced by the
existing service in the area. No upgrades will be required to
the water system, treatment plant or the facilities. Water
saving fixtures will be specified throughout the building.
The intersection of E. Hopkins Avenue and Galena Street is
one of the few remaining corners in the Commercial Core without a
fire hydrant. The site is only one-half a block from the Aspen
Volunteer Fire Department Station and response time will be
virtually immediate regardless of the time of day. None the less
we will install a new fire hydrant as part of the project. The
exact location will be decided as a function of detailed project
design. Provision of a new hydrant will improve the quality of
service in the area of the project. Please see the letter from
Fire Chief, Peter Wirth (Exhibit 3, Appendix, Page 28).
Requested Score: 2 points.
2. Sewage Disposal. The Consolidated Sanitation
District has indicated the building will be handled by the
existing level of service in the area with no need for system
extensions and without treatment plant or other facility upgrade.
Requested Score: 1 point.

3. Public Transportation and Roads.
The
City Engineer
has stated that the Storehouse
Building
will be
easily served
by the existing street system as Galena,
Hopkins
and Main are
currently functioning below
allowed
capacity.
Public bus transportation is available on -half block away,
at the corner of Main Street and Galena. Further bus access is
available three blocks away at Rubey Park, the center of the
City/County public transportation system.
Requested Score: 1 point.
4. Storm Drainage. The Storehouse Building in and of
itself improves the quality of the City storm drainage system.
Currently the site provides no on -site retention of water runoff,
so all runoff flows into the City storm sewer system. The
installation of on site drywells will retain 100% of site water
runoff. The City Engineer has stated that this will be an
upgrade to the area and City-wide system.
Requested Score: 2 points.
5. Parking. The Commercial Core Zone requires no on -
site parking and, given the size of the site, on -site parking is
impractical. The existing street parking will remain the same in
the vicinity. There are no residences proposed for the site, so
no parking is needed.
Requested Score: 1 point.
C. Provision for Employee Housing. The applicant proposes
to house 3.5 employees, or 39% of the new employees generated by
the project. This criteria will be met through the cash in lieu
program specified in Ordinance 2, Series of 1986. The guidelines
23
1
to be met are for the low income housing guidelines. During
construction we will work in concert with the Housing Office to
develop a specific plan for the use of the money to create
specific housing according to the desires and goals of the
Housing Office.
Requested Score: 9.75 points.
D. Bonus Points. The Storehouse building achieves an
exceptional standard in architecture and site design and is
entirely deserving of bonus points. The site creates an open
space plaza of unique appeal, perfectly sited for views and solar
gain and creates a second open area by the bakery. The owner
wants to put a brick facade on the wall of the thrift shop, an
added expense, but one which will integrate the building and the
site.
The architectural design shows unusual sensitivity to the
site and surrounding buildings by breaking the mass up to
emphasize a low visual impact and by keeping the roof height well
below the allowable forty feet in the code. You have the
opportunity to reward and encourage this type of sensitivity by
awarding bonus point.
Specific noteworthy elements include the system and area
improvements of a fire hydrant and 100% retention of surface
runoff on the site. Finally the applicant is housing employees
in excess of code requirements.

III. SPECIAL REVIEW APPROVALS
We are seeking two special reviews. The first is under
' Section 24-3.5 (b) for reduction of the trash and utility access
requirements provided for in Section 24-23.7 (h) (6). Secondly
' we are seeking a special review approval to utilize the open
' space for outdoor dining for some thirty-three (33) seats under
Section 24-3.7 (d) (8)•

Advisory Committee Votes: The Historic Preservation Committee
gave conceptual approval to the Wesson Dental Building, Pitkin
Center, and the Storehouse Building. The above projects needed
HPC conceptual approval to be eligible to submit GMP applications
according to Section 24-11,3 (d) .
The Planning and Zoning Commission evaluated the six commercial
GMP applications at their regular meer-i ngs of September 2, 16,
and 30, 1986. Scoring was done individually by each Commission
member, and the scoring summary sheets for each project are
attached hereto.
Also considered and approved by P&Z were the following special
reviews:
1. Wesson Bldg.:
a. Parking Reduction: P&Z unanimously granted a reduction
in on site parking spaces from 10 spaces to 7 spaces on
the condition that the two residential spaces shall be
demarked for the use of those tenants.
b. Bonus FAR: P&Z unanimously granted an FAR of .9:1
subject to a commitment to landscape the western edge
of the property in conjunction with the adacent
landowner.
2. Pitkin Center:
a. Parking Requirements: P&Z approved 5 in favor and 1
opposed two parking spaces for the two 1-bedroom free
market residential units.
b. Bonus FAR: P&Z unanimously approved an FAR of 2:1.

0 •
3. Hunter Plaza:
a. Trash and Utilities Area: P&Z unanimously approved the
requested 25 ft. by 10 ft. trash/utilities area.
4. Storehouse Building:
a. Trash and Utilities Area: P&Z unanimously approved the
requested 8 ft. by 12 ft. trash/utilities area subject
to the placement of a trash compactor in the basement
of the building.
b. Restaurant Use of Open Space: P&Z unanimously approved
the requested restaurant use of required open space.
Allocation Issues:
All of the projects except 700 E. Hyman met the minimum thresholds
and are eligible for allocations. The one successful Office Zone
Competitor (Wesson) and all three CC/C-1 competitors (Pitkin
Center, Hunter Plaza, and the Storehouse) can be given allotments
from the 1986 quota without future year allocation. The Little
Nell project was granted an allotment by Council on September 22,
and is included in this discussion only to formalize that action
by the attached resolution.
The Planning Office recommends that these five projects be given
the requested allocations, as would be accomplished by Council
Adoption of Resolution (attached) .
Carry -Over of Unused Quota:
Over the past several years, the
allotments remaining from the
Council can either carry-over
follows:
CC/C-1 544 sf
Office 1,513 sf
NC/SCI 7,000 sf
Council has generally eliminated
prior year. The quotas which
or eliminate this year are as
The Planning Office believes that there is little rationale to
carry over the unused quota in the CC/C-1 and NC/SCI zone district
categories. In the CC/C-1 zones, we are seeing development in
both 1985 and 1986, at a rate within the framework of the growth
management policy. There is no apparent need to increase the
quota for 1987. The NC/SCI zone district has seen no development
activity since the imposition of the quota. While some activity
may be necessary to keep up with growth in the residential
sector, a carry-over would create a 1987 quota in these zones of
14,000 sf, which we believe could encourage one or two projects
of a scale inconsistent with our development and growth policies.
3
The Office Zone is seeing the first new development this year
since the quota was established in this zone district. We
believe that carry-over of the unused 1,513 sf is reasonable
because it appears that there may no longer be much excess office
space in the community. Office space may be needed in response
to recent residential, lodging, and ski area expansion.
Of equal importance are the circumstances surrounding the failure
of the 700 E. Hyman Building to meet the competitive threshold.
A major issue which arose with respect to this building was the
applicant's use of covered parking above grade and his request
for a Planning Office interpretation of whether such space should
count in the project's FAR. Due to an unusual workload this
summer, we were unable to adquately analyze this issue prior to
the August deadline. When this issue was analyzed in the review
process, an agreement could not be reached between staff and the
applicant and the P&Z was required to make the interpretation.
Although P&Z agreed with the applicant that such space is exempt
from FAR under the Code, they felt that the applicant's design
was flawed because of this approach and scored the project
accordingly. The applicant has appealed the scoring (see attached
letters from Dave Myler) but has agreed at the Planning staff's
urging to drop the appeal if Council carries over the unused
square footage to next year. We strongly recommend that you
carry the 1,513 sf over to address the unfortunate problem which
occurred with respect to this project.
Recommendation: The Planning Office recommends adoption of
Resolution , Series of 1986, to grant allocation to Little
Nell, Wesson, Pitkin Center, Hunter Plaza, and the Storehouse
Building, to grant a future year allocation to Little Nell,
eliminate the unused quota in the CC/C-1 and NC/SCI zone districts
and carry-over the unused office quota.
Ancillary Reviews:
1. Pitkin Center:
a. Employee Housing Parking: Council sets off-street
parking requirements for employee housing units,
according to Section 24-4.1 (c) . The applicant would
provide two on -site parking spaces for the use of the
two free market residential units, and no parking
spaces for the four employee units. The Planning
Commission accepted the two spaces and recommended to
Council to establish no parking requirement for the
employee units in a vote of 4 in favor and 2 opposed.
The Planning Office position is that some on -site
employee parking is needed. The one space per bedroom
standard used in other zone district would result in
four spaces for the four employee studios. We believe
4
some reduction from this standard is reasonable because
(1) some low and moderate income tenants living at
Pitkin Center may not be able to afford a vehicle and
(2) location within the downtown makes walking very
convenient, and a car is not necessary. Staff supports
setting the parking requirement at two spaces for the 4
employee units.
It should be noted that few options for off -site
parking exist in this location. Parking on adjacent
streets is limited to two hours or less during the day,
and is occupied day and night in winter and summer.
There is no municipal parking garage that might serve
this need; and cash -in -lieu for parking is not allowed
(although it is a possiblility in the future) .
Recommendation: The Planning Office recommends estab-
lishing a requirement of two parking spaces for the
four employee studio units.
b. Pitkin Center Employee Housing GMP Exemption
The Applicant requests a GMP exemption pursuant to
Section 24-11.2 (f) of the Municipal Code for four (4)
on -site employee units. Each unit would contain 450
square feet. On September 11, 1986, the Housing
Authority recommended approval of the proposed program.
P&Z unanimously recommended approval on September 30,
1986.
Recommended Motion: "Move to approve the requested GMP
exemption for employee housing subject to the following
condition:
1. The four 450 square foot units shall be deed -
restricted to the low and moderate income employee

a. Owner shall have the right to lease the units
to qualified employees of his selection.
b. Units shall be restricted to six month

c. Copies of leases shall be sent to the Housing
Office.
d. Deed restrictions shall be approved and

2. Storehouse Building: The applicant has proposed to pay
$70,000 cash -in -lieu to the Housing Authority to provide for
the equivalent of 3 9% of the employees generated. This
calculation was made based on misinformation on employee
generation. Subsequently, revised calculations were made
for payment of $70,000 to house 3.043 low income employees
and 0.687 moderate income employees, to the satisfaction of
the Housing Office and Housing Authority. The Planning
Office also supports this employee housing program.
Section 24-11.10(i) (3) of the Code provides that applicants
may obtain credit for employee housing via a cash -in -lieu
dedication, subject to the approval of this option by the
City Council. In making their recommendation to you on this
issue the Planning Commission expressed concern that the
cash -in -lieu be sufficient to build employee housing and the
Housing Authority develop a program to build employee
housing units in a timely manner. A joint P&Z and Housing
Authority meeting is scheduled for November 25, 1986 to
begin to address this issue and to initiate the Housing
Element of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
P&Z voted 5 in favor and 1 opposed to recommend Council to
accept the proposed cash -in -lieu for employee housing.
Recommended Motion: "Move to approve the cash -in -lieu payment
of $70,000 to provide housing for 3.043 low income employees
and 0.687 moderate income employees as adjusted to the
current payment schedule at the time of issuance of a
building permit. Payment shall be made to the Housing
Authority prior to issuance of a building permit."
3. Hunter Plaza: The applicant proposes to make a cash -in -lieu
payment to the Housing Authority for housing the equivalent
of 9.2 low income employees. The Housing Authority recom-
mended approval of this program on September 11, 1986. P&Z
recommended approval on September 30, 1986.
Recommended Motion: "Move to approve the cash -in -lieu payment
of $184,000 to provide housing for 9.2 employees at the low
income level , as adjusted to the current payment schedule
at the time of issuance of a building permit. Payment shall
be made to the Housing Authority prior to issuance of a
building permit. "
R.
4 . Hunter Pl az a Existing Floor Area Credit Issue: The applicant
has requested a technical clarification on the calculation
of existing FAR to include the covered area over the gas
pumps, in addition to the area within the building, for
which we have already given the applicant credit. A letter
from Vann Associates is attached presenting rationale for
this interpretation. The Planning Office agrees that
technically this area should be included in FAR. However,
it is our understanding that the only reason the applicant
wants to obtain this additional credit for 865 square feet,
is merely to reduce the size of the cash -in -lieu dedication
which must be made. Since employee generation is based on
net leasable square footage, Whether we include or exclude
the gas pumps is irrelevant to the applicant's net employee
housing generation.
It would be inappropriate to allow this area to be included
in the Reconstruction FAR, therby reducing the amount of GMP
allocation, and consequently reducing the employee housing
commitment. We recommend that you find the canopy does not
count toward a floor area credit.
5. Wesson Building: The applicant proposes to make a cash -in -
lieu payment to the Housing Authority of $16,625 to house
1.25 moderate income employees. The Housing Authority
recommended approval of this program and P&Z accepted it on
September 16, 1986.
Recommended Motion: "Move to approve the cash -in -lieu
payment of $16,625 to provide housing for 1.25 moderate
income employees, as adjusted to the current payment schedule
at the time of issuance of a building permit. Payment shall
be made to the Housing Authority prior to issuance of a
building permit."

for the two (2) free market and four (4) employee units.
HUNTER PLAZA: The proposed building is located on the northeast
corner of Hunter Street and Cooper Avenue in the C-1 zone
district and would replace Palazzi's Texaco Service Station.
4,740 sq. ft. of the new building would be reconstructed space.
In total, the two (2) story building would contain 12,875 sq. ft.
of commercial space (external floor area) , entirely devoted to
retail commercial purposes. A cash -in -lieu payment of $184,000
(as currently calculated) to house the equivalent of 9.2 low
income employees would be provided to the Housing Authority.
Ancillary reviews in this application include:
a. Consideration of the applicant's proposal to provide cash -
in -lieu to house 9.2 low income employees.
b. Special Review for reduction in trash and utilities area
requirements.
THE STOREHOUSE BUILDING: The proposed building would replace
Little Cliff's on the northwest corner of Galena and Hopkins.
1,420 sq. ft. of existing commercial space would be recon-
structed. In total, 4,497 sq. ft. (external floor area) would be
built to house Nature's Storehouse Restaurant and Store, a retail
bakery and 2nd floor offices. A cash -in -lieu payment of $70,000
(as currently calculated) to house the equivalent of 3.73
employees would be provided to the Housing Authority.
Ancillary review in this application include:
a. Consideration of the applicant's proposal to provide cash -
in -lieu to house 3.73 low and moderate income employees.
h. Special review for reduction in trash and utilities area
requirements.
PROCESS: The Planning Office will summarize these projects at
your meeting of September 30, 1986, review procedures with you,
and provide a suggested assignment of points for the scoring of
the applications. The applicants will give brief presentations
2
0
of their proposals. Public hearings will be held to allow
interested citizens to comment. At the close of each hearing,
the Commission members will each be asked to score the appli-
cant's proposal.
The total number of points awarded by all the members, divided by
the number of members voting, will constitute the total points
awarded to each project. A project must score a minimum of 60
percent of the total points available under categories 1, 2, and
3 amounting to 25.8 points, and a minimum of 30 percent of the
points available in each category 1, 2, and 3 to be eligible for
a GMP allotment. The minimum points are as follows:
Category 1 = 5.4 points;
Category 2 = 3 points; and
Category 3 = 8.75 points.
Should an application score below these thresholds it will no
longer be considered for a development allotment and will be
considered denied. Bonus points cannot be used to bring an
application over this minimum threshold.
PLANNING OFFICE RATINGS: The Planning Office has assigned points
to each application as a recommendation for you to consider. The
staff met to assess the ratings of the reviewing planner and
objectively score the proposals. The following table is a
summary of the ratings. A more complete explanation of the
points assignment for each criterion is shown on the attached
score sheets, including rationales for the rating.

The Planning Office has the following comments regarding special
reviews associated with each project.
9�1
520 E. HYMAN (PITRIN CENTER) Application:
A. Employee Housing GMP Exemption
The applicant requests a GMP exemption pursuant to Section
24-11 .2 (f) of the Municipal Code for four (4) on -site
employee units. Each unit would contain 450 square feet.
On September 11, 1986, the Housing Authority recommended
approval of the proposed program.
RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Authority and Planning Office
recommend approval of the 520 E. Hyman employee housing subject
to the following conditions:
1. The four 450 square foot units shall be deed -restricted
to the low and moderate income employee housing
guidelines. Deed restrictions shall be filed with the
Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office prior to
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the 520 E.
Hyman Building, including procedures and regulations
stated in Ann Bowman' s memorandum dated September 9,
1986 and summarized below:
a. Owner shall have the right to lease the units to
qualified employees of his selection.
b. Units shall be restricted to six month minimum
leases with no more than two shorter tenancies, as
stated in Section 24-3 .7 (0) (1) of the Municipal
Code, as amended.
C. Copies of leases shall be sent to the Housing
Office.
d. Deed restrictions shall be approved and signed by
the Chairman of the Housing Authority prior to
recordation with the County Clerk and Recorder's
Office.
B. Special Review for Reduction in Parking
The Planning Commission has final review authority over
free-market residential parking requirements in the CC
zone and the ability to recommend employee housing
requirements to Council. Sections 24-4.6 and 24-4.1 (c)
of the Code give the applicable provisions for the two
actions.
The applicant would provide two covered parking spaces
for the use of the two free market residential units.
This meets the standard of 1 space per bedroom required
in other zone districts, and is acceptable in staff's
4
view.
No on -site parking would be provided for the use of the
four employee studios. The 1 space per bedroom
standard would result in four more spaces required on -
site. Some reduction from the standard is reasonable
given the following factors: 1) Low and moderate income
tenants would live there and some may not be able to
afford a vehicle, and 2.) Location within the downtown
makes walking to work, grocery stores, and entertain-
ment very convenient, and therefore, a car is not
necessary. Consequently, the Planning Office believes
it is reasonable that over the long term, at least 1 of
the 4 employees will not have car, and we would support
setting the parking requirement at three (3) employee
parking spaces for the project.
It should be noted that few options for off -site
parking exists in this location. Parking on adjacent
streets is limited to two hours or less during the day,
and is occupied day and night in winter and summer.
There is no municipal parking garage that might serve
this need, and cash -in -lieu for parking is not allowed
(although it is a possibility in the future) .
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends
approval of the parking special review f or the two
spaces for the two 1-bedroom free market units. Staff
recommends P&Z to recommend Council to establish a
requirement of 3 parking spaces for the four employee
studio units.
C. Bonus FAR Special Review: The applicant requests approval
of a special review for bonus FAR to add 1200 square feet of
commercial space (.2 : 1 FAR) and 1_800 square feet (.3 : 1 FAR)
of employee housing space. This amounts to .5:1 FAR
increase, which is the maximum allowable in the CC Zone
district according to Section 24-3.4 of the Municipal Code.
Section 24-3 .5 (a) of the Municipal Code states the
criteria for P&Z's review:
"(1) Compatibility of the development with surrounding
land uses and zoning,, including size, height and
bulk, proposed site design characteristics,
including landscaping and open space and visual
impacts such as viewplanes.
(2) Whether the applicant has demonstrated the
availability and adequacy of water supply, sewage
treatment, storm drainage, roads and parking
5
facilities to serve the proposed development. "
Staff believes that the 520 E. Hyman Building is mainly
compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning. As
noted in the Planning Office recommended scoring of
this project, the building size and height are not out
of character with other buildings on the block. The
open space and landscaping schemes are acceptable and
no important public views are affected. Service areas
of water, sewer, storm drainage, and roads are adequ-
ate. Parking, however, is not adequate in staff's view
for the six units on -site, as discussed in comments on
parking special review. If the objective is to
successfully maximize usage of the site, then parking
needs should be handled on the site for the employee
housing component enabling this bonus FAR. Little
rationale has been given in the application to demon-
strate that no employee housing parking is needed.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends denial of
the bonus FAR special review based on the deficiency of
residential parking. If the applicant is willing to work on
providing additional parking, the application should be
tabled to review the new site configuration.
HUNTER SQUARE APPLICATION:
A. Consideration of Cash -In -Lieu for Employee Housing: The
applicant proposes to make a cash -in -lieu payment to the
Housing Authority for housing the equivalent of 9.2 low
income employees. The Housing Authority recommended
approval of this program on September 11, 1986.
Ordinance 2, Series of 1986 gives Council the option to
accept or deny the employee housing dedication fee proposed.
The Planning Office believes that it is incumbent upon the
Housing Authority to develop a program to create housing
with the funds given it from this and other developments.
Low income dormitories and senior citizen housing have been
the top priorities identified. We recommend that you make a
recommendation that some such program be developed within 6
months and brought before the P&Z prior to review of any of
the 1987 GMP applications.
RECOMMENDATION: The
Planning
Office recommends
P&Z to
recommend that Council
approve of the cash -in -lieu
payment
of $184,000 to provide
housing for 9.2 employees at
the low
income level, as adjusted to the
payment schedule
at the
time of issuance of
a building
permit. Payment shall be
made to the Housing
Authority
prior to issuance of a
building permit.
C.
B. Special Review for Reduction of Required Trash and Utilities
Area: Section 24-3.7(h) (4) sets the size of the trash/u-
tility service area in the CC and C-1 zones and allows for
the P&Z to vary the required area by special review pursuant
to Section 24-3 .7 (b) (attached) .
On page 31-32 of the application, rationale for this
reduction is stated, including:
( 1) The building is only 835 square feet larger than the
building size that requires a 25 ft. x. 10 ft. area.
(2) Based on actual trash generation calculation for
similar buildings, the 25 ft. x. 10 ft. area appears to
be sufficient.
(3) The trash area will be paved, covered, enclosed on
three sides and be large enough for three two -yard
dumpsters (4' x 71).
(4) Trash compaction will be neither required nor provided.
The Engineering Department stated they do not have any
problem with the requested reduction, however, they recom-
mend installation of a trash compactor. The Planning Office
also notes that the alley service entrance (approximately 5
feet wide) also goes through the 25' x 10' area for trash
and utility. While it appears that two dumpsters may fit in
with utility boxes, three may constraint service flow from
the alley into the building. With a compactor, as recom-
mended by Engineering, such a problem should not occur.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends approval of
the requested 25 ft. x 10 ft. trash/utility area subject to
installation of a trash compactor, as meets the approval of
BFI, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
THE STOREHOUSE BUILDING Application:
A. Consideration of Cash -In -Lieu for Employee Housing: The
applicant has proposed to pay $70,000 cash -in -lieu to the
Housing Authority to provide for the equivalent of 39% of
the employees generated. This calculation was made based on
misinformation on employee generation. Subsequently,
revised calculations were made for payment of $70 ,000 to
house 3.043 low income employees and 0.687 moderate income
employees, to the satisfaction of the Housing Office and
Housing Authority.
As discussed in regard to the Hunter Square cash -in -lieu
proposal, we support the acceptance of this option but
recommend that the Housing Authority must develop a housing
7
program to utilize this payment which should be reviewed by
P&Z before the next round of GMP applications in 1987.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends P&Z to
recommend Council approval of the cash -in -lieu payment of
$70,000 to provide housing for 3.043 low income employees
and 0.687 moderate income employees. Payment shall be made
to the Housing Authority prior to issuance of a building
permit.
F. Special Review for Reduction of Required Trash and Utilities
Area: The applicant proposes an area of 8 ft. x 12 ft. for
trash and utilities off the alley, while 20 ft. x. 10 ft. is
the standard required for buildings up to 6,000 sq. ft. in
size. Rationale provided include:
(1) The provision of a trash compactor and motor driven
conveyor for efficient delivery of goods.
SB.64
(2) Calculations of the historic trash generation of
Nature's Storehouse, Little Cliff's Bakery and that
projected for other tenants, as effected by the 4:1
compaction.
(3) The 6 or 7 days per week pick up service from BFI
anticipated.
The Engineering Department recommends approval of the area
reduction given the trash compactor. Engineering also
recommends that the compactor be placed inside the building
and not next to the dumpster.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends approval of
the requested 8 ft. x 12 ft. trash/utilities area subject to
the placement of a compactor, as meets the approval of BFI,
in the basement of the buildino. Installation shall be
accomplished prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occu-
pancy.

RE: The Storehouse Building GMP Application
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the above application, the Engineering Department
has the following comments:
TRAFFIC AND PARKING
This project will not significantly impact adjacent streets as
these are currently operating below capacity.
The CC zone does not require on -site parking for uses other than
residential and this project does not offer any. The addition of
bike racks will serve as an auto disincentive.
E
The sidewalks must be at least 8' wide. The plan for the sidewalk
area must be approved by CCLC. If any permanent planter boxes
are to be installed in the sidewalk, an Encroachment License must
be obtained.
DRAINAG E
The application proposes to retain 100% of the water run-off.
This would improve the historic drainage of the site. We would
like to see more detailed plans of their retention system.
UTILITIES
The application commits to underground all utilities.
TRASH/UTILITY AREA
Nature's Storehouse presently generates two cubic yards of trash
daily. In their new location, I assume that their hours of
operation will be extended through dinner. This would probably
add another cubic yard of daily refuse. For an operation of
seven days per week, the trash generation would be 21 cubic yards
plus six cubic yards per week for the bakery, a total of 27
cubic yards per week.
The applicant proposes to use a trash compactor. We strongly

support this proposal. If the compaction ratio is 4:1, then
there will be about seven cubic yards of trash per week. A
dumpster for this amount could be contained within the proposed
area. we request that the compactor be placed inside the building
and not next to the dumpster.

Mr. Steve Burstein
Aspen/Pitkin Planning Dept.

Aspen, CO 81611
Dear Steve,
I am acting as agent for Gregg Gibb, owner of Lot 5, Block 87, City
of Aspen., known as the Storehouse Building to be located ort the sit cui-rentiy
occupied by Little Cliff's Bakery.
Pursuant to section 24-3.5(b), I am requesting special review approval
for reduction of the trash and utility access area provided for in Section
24-3.7 (h). While the code states this review must be accomplished prior to
the Growth Management competition, it is my understanding it will be reviewed
at the time of the scoring.
The code requires a utility trash service area for a building site up to
6,000 square feet of twenty (20) feet by ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet verticle.
Of this space, fifteen (15) feet is for box storage, utility transformers or
building access and five (5) feet for trash facilities. As the site consists
of only one lot thirty (30) feet wide, we are requesting special review approval
for a trash and utility area of eight (8) feet by twelve (12) feet by twelve
(12) feet verticle.
Discussions with the City Engineer, suppliers for the tenants of the
building and with Tony Vagneur of B.F.I. Waste Systems have resulted in ap-
proval of the design based on the following solutions:
a) An efficient delivery system will result from installation of
a motor driven conveyor belt from inside the service door to the
basement storage room. Unloading will be accomplished by employees
and suppliers efficiently with no reed to stack bo::es in the service
access area. Deliveries to the bakery are made by two suppliers, one
on Tuesday and one on Friday. Nature's Storehouse receives supplies six
days a week, from one supplier each day.
b) The City Engineer has reviewed and approved the placement of all
utility meters on the west wall of the trash and utility access area.
c) B.F.I. Waste Systems serves the current bakery three times weekly
to empty a two cubic yard container. Narure's Storehouse historically
generates two cubic yards of refuse daily. Assuming seven days a week
operations, this is fourteen cubic yards, or twenty cubic yards weekly
with a bakery. According to Mr. Vagneur the generation from the office
520 E. Durant, Suite 204, Aspen, Colorado 81611 303/920-2000
Aslte41 /?Mf ffA A 11slouattl
space will be "minimal".
In discussion with Mr. Vagneur, the building will require installation of
a compactor. Space analysis indicates that if a compactor will not fit in
the service area adjacent to the alley, a compactor will be placed in the
basement storage room in proximity to the conveyor belt. As the belt will be
motor driven, transportation of trash to the container will present no problem.
The proposed compactor provides a four to one reduction, creating five cubic
yards weekly, or fifty percent of capacity, requiring service three times
weekly. This system and schedule of service, should it under estimate actual
volume. Need • my f'ave an increase in reinoval. f-oqulenc _ i^.sur It,& adequacy.
While this Proiect requests a reduction from code requirements due to
site constraints, we meet all the requirements of adequacy of trash and deliv-
ery vehicle access, unique measures for compaction of trash, adequacy of area
for utility meter placement and access, and unique measures for facilitating
and expediting deliveries to the building.
The second special review being requested is pursuant to Section 24-3.7
(d) (8) and is for a commercial restaurant dining. The site plan shows garden
seating for thirty-three (33) seats. Nature's Storehouse has traditionally
had outdoor dining at the present location and hopes to continue this tradi-
tion. The siting of the open space is such that it is ideal for outdoor
dining. As the intent of open space is for the public views and public use
allowing outdoor dining enhances the public use of open space with no distur-
bance of the public views. Thus granting special review approval will in
no way derogate the purposes of the open space requirements and will in fact,
enhance the usability of the open space.

FR: Steve Standiford, Director
RE: CC/C-1 Zone District Commercial GMP Applications
Review comments on energy related aspects of The Storehouse Building
Commercial GMP
INSULATION
No actual.. R-values are stated in the proposal. They specify insulation
"far in excess of current energy code requirements." This leads us
to hope for the best, but actual R-values for each building component
need to be defined before any evaluation can be made.
SOLAR ENERGY
The site has good potential for daytime passive solar heating. The
use of the floors and brick walls is commendable as it provides
necessary mass to store some of the sun's energy as it enters the
building. There is no consideration of using solar energy to heat
water.
The skylight should, in addition to solar gain, provide daylighting
to lessen the need for electric lighting.
WATER CONSERVATION
No mention of water conservation devices appears in this proposal.
Since a restaurant uses a considerable amount of water, it would seem
prudent to use some conserving fixtures (eg. faucets, showerheads,
toilets, dishwashers).
MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
If we assume this heating system is at least 80% efficient, the zoned
capabilities are used to shut off unoccupied space and heat exhaust
is used to heat other areas, the heating should be quite efficient.

OTHER COMMENTS
Until there are established performance criteria for energy use, our
comments are very relative. We cannot tell from the information in
this proposal what the estimated energy needs are for the Storehouse
Building. It does appear that the developers are very conscious
about conserving conventional energy and using solar energy.
We would need more information to perform an energy analysis that
would help define just how "energy efficient" this proposed building
will be.

TO: JANET RACZAK, PLANNING OFFICE
FROM: ANN BOWMAN, PROPERTY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 23, 1986
RE: THE STOREHOUSE BUILDING COMMERCIAL GMP
ISSUE: Does the application meet the Aspen City Municipal Code
and the Housing Authority generation requirements?
BACKGROUND: The applicant, Gregg E. Gibb, is requesting 3077 sf
of commercial GMP allotment. The property is located at 121 S.
Galena (Little Cliff's) . The applicant proposes to demolish the
existing building and construct and approximately 4,497 sf
commercial structure.
This application is submitted pursuant to Section 24-11.5 of the
Aspen Municipal Code. The property consists of Lot 5, Block 87,
City of Aspen. It occupies the northwest corner of E. Hopkins
Avenue and Galena Street and is zoned CC, Commercial Core. As
verified by the Pitkin County Building Department, the property's
existing improvements consist of a one story concrete block
building of 1,326.40 sf and a walk-in cooler of 92.51 sf or 1,420
sf of improvements currently occupied by Little Cliff's Bakery.
There are two phases proposed for this project. The first is the
removal of a rundown building in the core area. The second is
the construction of a new building to house two established
businesses; Nature's Storehouse and Little Cliffs Bakery. Little
Cliffs has been offered space for a bakery and retail outlet but
has not yet committed to a lease. In the event Little Cliff's
does not occupy the space, Nature's Storehouse will open a bakery
and yoghurt cafe.
The ground floor will contain 2,100 sf of retail bakery and
Natures' Storehouse. The basement (3,000 sf) is configured for a
bakery, mechanical room, storage area and bulk goods display area
for Nature's Storehouse. The second or top floor, will consist
of roughly 1,180 sf of professional office space with a separate
entrance off of E. Hopkins Avenue. The roof has been designed
with a parapet to conceal the building's mechanical systems.
The Storehouse Building will result in a net increase in commer-
cial external floor area of 3,077 sf. The new building's 4,497
sf of external floor area less the 1,420 sf of existing commer-
cial floor area is to be reconstructed as part of this proposal.
The applicant proposes the following employee generation:
1
1.
The second floor space =
1,078 x 3.0/1000 = 3.2
emp
2.
The ground floor space =
1,902 (245 of retail/wholesale
bakery at 3.5/1000 or .86
employees.
3.
Natures Storehouse will
occupy 1,657 divided
equally
between retail and cafeteria restaurant.
Retail
3.5/1000 or 2.9 employee
and 5.0/1000 x 1,657 =
4.1 emp
4.
The basement net of storage,
mech. rm. etc. total 852
or retail or 3.5/1000 for
3.0 employees
The Storehouse Building will generate a total of 14.0 employees.
The existing 1,420 sf of commercial space is categorized as
retail/wholesale with an employee generation factor of 3.5/1000.
This results in a credit for the project of 5 employees, result-
ing in a generation of 9.0 new employees.
The applicant proposes to provide housing for 3.5 employees, or
39% of the new employees generated and will comply with Section 5
.,f Ordinance No.2, Series of 1986, in which a new Section 24-
11 .10 ( i) (3) provides for payment of an employee housing
dedication fee based on the formula as approved by the City
Council' s housing designee. The applicant states he will pay a
low income housing contribution of $20,000 per emp for a total
contribution of $70,000.
In agreeing to this cash payment (increasing the building cost by
$15.50 per sf) we maintain the right to work with the Housing
Office in a development partnership to create a housing project
specific to the Housing OFfice goals for 1986-1987. This option
could create immediate housing rather than funding for a future
project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I met with Perry Harvey, applicants
representative, and we discussed the employee generation. I
suggested that he add the additional employee as calculated below
and address the cash -in -lieu as follows:
1. The second floor space = 1,078 x 3.5/1000 = 3.7 emp
2. The ground floor space = 1,902 (245 of retail/wholesale
bakery) at 3.5/1000 or .86 employees.
3. Natures Storehouse will occupy 1,657 divided equally
between retail and cafeteria restaurant. Retail
3.5/1000 or 2.9 employee and 5.0/1000 x 1,657 = 4.1
emp.
4. The basement net of storage, mech. rm. etc. total 852
or retail or 3.5/1000 for 3.0 employees.
Total employees generated 14.56
Credit for existing = 5 emp.
TOTAL FOR PROJECT 9.56 or 10 employees
The applicant had stated that he would pay a low income housing
contribution of $20,000 per em p for a total contribution of
$70,000. However with the new employee the calculation will be
1.5 emp. at low income $20,000. = $30,000 and 3 employees at
moderate income or $13,300 = $39,300.00 for a total of $69,300.
ACTION NEEDED: Approval of staff recommendation.

Dear Steve:
1E@1E0W[2'K�)
will*
This letter is intended to clarify my position regarding employee
generation for the Storehouse Building 1986 GMP submission. When
I began to compile the submission I re -read the applicable code
sections. Section 24-11.5 (3) discusses employee generation for
new commercial projects. Under CC/C-1 the section outlines the
applicable ratios . . ."based on review of the City Council's
housing designee." Further this section states "provided that
upon the demonstration to the City Council's housing designee
that these standards should not be applied to a particular
project, the commission may employ an alternative standard
recommended by the designee."
Given these clear references to the housing designee, I contacted
the Housing Authority to review my measurement of square footage
and employee generation ratios to assure that my submission would
accurately reflect the calculations of the Housing Office.
The special nature of Nature's Storehouse as a cafeteria
restaurant indicated an employee generation factor of 5.0 per
1,000 for that portion of the space used as a restaurant. This
was recommended by the Housing Office as the correct standard for
this restaurant.
The day before the submission went to the printers the Housing
Office called me twice telling me to use an employee generation
factor of 3.0 per 1,000 square feet for the top floor office
space. I changed my figures from 3.5 to 3.0 because of these
calls. The code uses 3.5 for space in the commercial core
because it could be office or retail. In reality, the
architecture of this building is such that the top floor will not
work as retail space because of the recessed windows. This floor
will be leased as office space.
Mr. Steve Burstein
September 16, 1986
Page Two
On August 28th the Housing Authority Board met to review the
CC/C-1 GMP submissions. In an unanimous action the Board stated
that their guidelines should be followed rather than the Code's
because they were more timely than the Code's. This left me in a
quandary because I had used 3.0 employees per 1,000 square feet
while the guidelines used 3.9 per 1,000. I had acted in good
faith and discussed my situation with the Housing Office stated
that validation of my figures by the Planning Office and the
Commission is vital to this applicant. The GMP process often
favors larger projects, as pointed out in Alan Richman's August
20, 1986, memorandum regarding the interviewees for code
simplification. The Storehouse application requests 9.75 points,
providing for 3.9% of the employees generated. The housing
office has refigured my employee generation to a total of 10.0
new employees. The Housing Office has approved a provision of
1.5 employees as low income and 3.0 employees at the moderate
income level. Thus I am now housing 4.5 of the 10 employees
generated, for a point total of 10.4. In complying with Section
59 Ordinance No. 2, Series of 1986, we will pay an employee
housing dedication fee of $69,900, based on the formula as
approved by the City Council's housing designee.
According to the Code, I have the right to discuss with the
Housing Office the standards to be applied to a given project. I
reached an agreement with the Housing Office regarding the
treatment of employees generated by the Storehouse Building.
Candidly, the Housing Office gave me an erroneous formula for
office generation. I was informed of this by Ann Bowman and
further informed of the proposed solution, to which I agreed.
Thus, in the Storehouse GMP Application, Section II C on page 23.
Provision for Employee Housing
Should read as follows:
The Applicant proposes to house 4.5 employees, on 45%
of the new employees generated by the project. This
criteria will be met through the cash in lieu program
specified in Ordinance 2, Series of 1986. The
guidelines to be met are for 1.5 low income and 3.0
moderate income employees. During construction we will
work in concert with the Housing Office to develop a
specific plan for the use of the money to create
specific housing according to the desires and goals of
the Housing Office.
REQUESTED SCORE: 10.4 POINTS

Dear Alan,
I am writing you in reference to our conversation about the
Storehouse Building 1986 Commercial Growth Management application.
As I explained I used the Employee generation figures as given me
by the Housing office. These figures are 3 employees per 1,000
square feet for office and 5 per thousand for restaurant. I am
aware that the code prevails and the code figures are 3.5 and 5.25
respectively. Using the figures supplied by Ann Bowman, I show a net
generation of 9 employees. Using the code figures I generate 9.8
employees and still make the threshold of 35%, or 3.43 employees.
However, my submission calculations provide for 39% of the employees,
or 9.75 points. I am trying to contact the owner to determine whether
he wishes to ammend the employee generation calculations.
I appreciate your allowing me to amend my submission prices
to the scoring. As soon as I have word from the owner as to his
