NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ASPEN PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Growth Management Amendment
Pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code, the
Planning and Zoning Commission hereby approves an amendment to the Growth Management
approval that was granted via Resolution No. 5, Series of 2016 and Resolution No. 1, Series of
2018 allowing for a larger free market unit, a reduction in commercial net leasable and a larger
affordable housing unit.
The free market residential unit shall not exceed 2,500 square feet of net livable area. The
affordable housing unit shall be no less than 961 square feet of net livable area. The commercial
net leasable area is shown at 4,773 square feet and may not exceed the dimensional limitations of
the zone district. Affordable Housing Mitigation is required for the development of the free
market unit and shall be mitigated by extinguishing Certificates of Affordable Housing Credits.
The total affordable housing mitigation requirement of the development will be confirmed by
Zoning at Building Permit.
A) The following Growth Management approval language shall replace and supersede those
granted pursuant to Section 2.2 of Resolution No 1, Series of 2018.
2.2 Affordable Housing Mitigation Requirements
a) The addition of one free-market unit not to exceed 2,500 square feet net livable
area requires the applicant to provide 750 sq. ft. net livable area in affordable
housing mitigation, or 1.875 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs), using the following
calculation:
Mitigation Requirement = 2,500 sq.ft. offree-market net livable/30% = 750 sq.ft.
Conversion to FTEs = 750 sq.ft. /400 sq.ft. = 1.875 FTEs
The applicant shall be required to extinguish a Transferable Development Right
(TDR) certificate on this site for the free-market residential unit. The TDR certificate
shall be extinguished prior to issuance of a building permit, pursuant to Section
26.535.080.
b) The existing development provides a net leasable reconstruction credit of 5,699
sq. ft., or 23.16 FTEs as calculated below:
Basement: 1,317 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. = 1.317 (4.7 FTEs x 0.75) =4.64 FTEs
Ground Floor: 2,711 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. =2.711 (4.7 FTEs) = 12.74 FTEs
Upper Floor: 1,641 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. — 1.641 (4.7 FTEs x0.75) = 5.78 FTEs
Total =4.64 + 12.74 + 5.78 = 23.16 FTEs

The proposed development includes 4,773 sq. ft. of net leasable area or 19.526 FTEs
as calculated below:
Basement: 1,952 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. = 1.952 (4.7 FTEs x 0.75) = 6.881 FTEs
Ground Floor: 2,298 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. =2.298 (4.7 FTEs) = 10.801 FTEs
Upper Floor: 523 sq. ft. / 1,000 sq. ft. = .523 (4.7 FTEs x0.75) = 1.844 FTEs
Total = 6.881 + 10.801 + 1.844 = 19.526 FTEs
Under this approval, affordable housing mitigation is not required for the
commercial net leasable floor area associated with the site, provided the FTEs
generated by the proposed net leasable do not exceed the reconstruction credit. Any
reconstruction credit shall be valid for one (1) year following issuance of a
demolition permit, pursuant to Chapter 26.470.140.
B) The following Replacement of Affordable Housing approval language shall replace and
supersede those granted pursuant to Section 6 of Resolution No 5, Series of 2016.
Section 6: Replacement of Affordable housing
The Planning and Zoning Commission hereby approves the replacement of an on-site,
two-bedroom affordable housing unit. The unit is required to house no fewer than 2.25
Full Time Equivalents (FTEs). The applicant will provide this unit as a 961 sq. ft. of net
livable area unit with 365 sq. ft. of net livable floor area above grade and 596 sq. ft. of
net livable floor area below grade, as represented in the application.

Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder prior to receipt of Certificate of Occupancy. The unit
shall be maintained as a rental property with APCHA and must be rented to a qualified
working resident per APCHA requirements. The applicant will have the ability to place
