MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council THROUGH: Amy Margerum, City Manager -@.)THROUGH: Diane Moore, City Planning Director FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning RE: Community Center/Common Ground Housing Association Inc. Map Amendment - Public (Pub) to Affordable Housing (AH) - Second Reading Ordinance 43, Series 1991 DATE: December 9, 1991 SUMMARY: The Common Ground Housing Association Inc. , (CGHA) proposes to rezone the Community Center site from Public (Pub) to Affordable Housing (AH) for the eventual development of 100% affordable housing. Subsequent to rezoning, the applicant will submit a development plan containing all the pertinent review for the development of this parcel. The full rezoning application was attached for your review at the time of first reading. Please refer to that application. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this application at their October 22, 1991 meeting and recommend approval of the rezoning from Public to Affordable Housing. Council adopted Ordinance 43 at first reading at the November 11, 1991 Council meeting. At a December 2, 1991 budget worksession, Council directed the Co- Housing group to present a full financial plan for Council's review. However, evaluation of the financial plan is not tied to the development review track. COUNCIL GOALS: This application is consistent with Council's goals #1 - to ensure that an adequate amount of affordable housing is available. . . ; and #2 - to encourage growth that will reinforce our sense of community and re-enfranchise those who now are forced to move away. APPLICANT: Common Ground Housing Association, Inc. LOCATION: Community Center Site, 0100 Lone Pine Road, Aspen, Colo. ZONING: Public, (Pub) , the site is owned by the County but is within the City therefore requiring City review. BACKGROUND: As part of the comprehensive approach to the City's housing dilemma, the City Council adopted Ordinance 59 establishing an Affordable Housing Zone District (AH) . The AH zone enables the rezoning of land for the purposes of affordable housing. When the County began the development of the new Health and Human Service building potential redevelopment of the Community Center site became eminent. Several housing development scenarios were reviewed for the site. The CGHA group, working through the Housing Authority, proposed using this site for co-housing. The BOCC and the Housing Authority acknowledging CGHA's intent, agreed to let the group submit a proposal for review. PROBLEM DISCUSSION: A. Site Description - The community Center parcel is approximately 85,944 sq. ft. The existing building is approximately 21,700 sq. ft. The parcel is zoned Public and is on the edge of the high density, R/MF zoned, Hunter Creek and Centennial neighborhood. Single family housing is located behind the parcel a t the base of Red Mountain. The parcel is oddly shaped. A "dog-leg" portion of the parcel extends behind the new Hunter Longhouse addition along Hunter Creek. Development is not anticipated on this portion of the property. The west parking lot for Hunter Longhouse encroaches onto the Community Center parcel and half of the spaces in that lot will be used by CGHA upon development. Thus, Hunter Longhouse will have less spaces. The applicants intend to retain approximately 5,794 sq. ft. of the existing building which is the two story kitchen and meeting rooms. This portion of the existing building will be renovated for communal activities. Most of the existing vegetation will be maintained and new landscaping will be provided on site. B. Project Summary - The applicants intend to develop 21 affordable, deed restricted residences on the approximately 2 acre Community Center Site. The current proposal consist of seven 1- bedroom townhouses, nine 2-bedroom townhouses and five 3-bedroom townhouses. The units will be clustered in groups of four to seven units per building. According to the application, "the site plan reflects a more progressive approach to housing; one that aspires to intentional neighborhood design with planned interaction among the residents, as well as individual private green spaces. . . the site is intended to foster a pedestrian oriented atmosphere, with car parking at the perimeter, and access to all units from a centrally formed pedestrian route through the complex. . . The proximity to the center of town and the easy availability of public transportation further provides non-motorized access to the site. " Although this step in the review process in only rezoning (not review of a specific development proposal) , the following tables from the application detail the dimensional requirements applicable in the AH zone. These are provided at this conceptual stage to help the review bodies envision the development potential of the site. 2 Table 4. 1 Dimensional Requirements Criterion Required Proposal Minimum front yard 10' 65' Minimum rear yard 10' 10' Minimum side yard 5' 10' ` Minimum distance between Buildings 5' 15' Maximum Height 25' 25' (special review) 30' Minimum Lot size 3,000 sq.ft. 85,944 sq.ft.

Y1!.i C. Referral Comments - The Engineering Department was the only referral agency contacted for the rezoning. The next application for subdivision and other pertinent reviews will be fully referred to other departments and agencies. Engineering: Having reviewed the above referenced application and having made a site visit, the department has the following comments: 1. The Engineering Department takes no exceptions to the rezoning application. Other. staff comments regarding site developments are as follows: 2. If the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan requires the. applicant to install sidewalks, they must conform to the City of Aspen sidewalk, . curb .and gutter specifications. 3. Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and development in public rights-of-way, we would like the following condition of approval: The applicant shall consult City Engineering for design considerations of development within public rights-of-way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights-of-way from City Streets Department. 4. The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in the public right-of-way. 5. There doesn't seem to be a basis for determining the number of parking spaces. It appears that the applicant just took the remaining spaces not affected by development and divided them by the number of units. In addition, some of the parking is "shared parking" with the adjoining Hunter Longhouse Development. The Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. 6. The site needs a designated trash area sized for the needs of the development. 7. Additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. 8. Site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. D. Applicable Review - At this time the applicant is only applying for a rezoning. Pursuant to Section 7-1102 the standards of review for an amendment to the Official Zone 5 • District Map are as follows: a. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this chapter. RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is consistent with the purpose of the recently adopted Affordable Housing Zone District which is "to provide for the use of land for the production of low, moderate and middle income affordable housing. . .units. . .The AH Zone District is intended for residential use primarily by permanent residents of the Community. . .Lands in the AH Zone District should be scattered throughout the City to ensure a mix of housing types, including those which are affordable by its working residents. . .lands in, the AH Zone District should be located within walking distance of the center of the City, or on • transit routes." • The proposal is also consistent with the goals identified within the Housing Production Plan. The Plan substantiates the need to. produce approximately 800 additional units by 1995 if growth within the area continues at its present rate. The data also indicates a need for ownership opportunities for families. The Co-Housing proposal will provide 21 units designed to meet the household needs of categories 1, 2, and 3 for singles as well as families. b. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. RESPONSE: The 1973 Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan is outdated identifying this site as Public with the hospital. However the recent Community Plan effort does provide several citizen derived goals with which the CGHG proposal is consistent: 1. Create a housing environment which is dispersed, appropriately scaled to the neighborhood and affordable. 2. Preserve and maintain the existing character of the community. 3. The community should collectively address and resolve its issues and problems by considering the interest of all its citizen. 4. Create a creative non-auto oriented public, mass transportation system which integrates pedestrian and bike trail systems with community facilities and services. 5. Encourage land uses, businesses, and events which serve both the local community and tourist base. The development of approximately 21 affordable housing units, 6 through the Affordable Housing Zone District, is an appropriate approach to dispersed housing development. The proposal is within scale of the surrounding community and preserves the character of the neighborhood. CGHG has sought to include the community within the planning process through advertisements, and . small neighborhood meetings (current membership includes employees from a wide range of occupations and a range of ages from 10 months to 62 years old) . The site's proximity to the bus route and walking distance to North Mill Station provide strong auto-disincentives. The 1982 Draft Smuggler Area Master Plan, which was prepared in anticipation of the development of Centennial, but never adopted, suggests increased infrastructure improvements to absorb the impact of new development. Those recommendations included a loop road linking Lone Pine Road to Park Circle, and new sidewalks, ' trails and bridge improvements. To a large. extent, those recommendations have been followed through. c. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding Zone Districts and land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics. RESPONSE: The Hunter Creek/Centennial neighborhood is predominantly multi-family. The parcel is surrounded on two sides by Lone Pine Drive and Red Mountain Road and is adjacent to Hunter Longhouse and the recent 5 unit addition. Dr. Oden's single family residence is behind the Community Center parcel. CGHG has been working with Dr. Oden to ensure that his concerns regarding the project are addressed. The rezoning from Public to AH is anticipated to replace the peak flow traffic that occurs at the Community Center by more modest and sporadic vehicular movement by the 21 individuals and families residing in the project. d. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety. RESPONSE: According to the application, the development should eliminate the episodic or "peaking" traffic impacts generated by the existing facility. There is anticipated to be modest vehicular movements generated by the project. Given the close proximity to the bus route and North Mill Station services, vehicular movement should be further reduced. The applicants should, however, perform a traffic analysis comparing trips/day of the existing land use to the proposed land use trips/day. This information should be included in the subdivision application. The application should also address parking impact to Hunter Longhouse. Within the AH zone, parking is established by Special Review. 7 This proposal intends to provide 33 spaces for 21 dwelling units. e. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities. RESPONSE: According to the application, the project can be • serviced by existing water lines. The lines have adequate pressure and capacity to meet both the domestic and fire protection needs of the project. Similarly the ACSD has sufficient line and plant capacity to service the development. A drainage analysis will be prepared and submitted by a professional engineer at subdivision review. Staff will refer the subdivision application to the various public utilities to ensure that infrastructure improvements are not necessary for the specific proposal. f. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. RESPONSE: The site is relatively flat with little vegetation. Existing vegetation will be preserved with additional landscaping proposed including landscape. features to buffer the roads and parking from the proposed development. The dog-leg portion of the parcel that abuts Hunter Creek is not intended for development. g. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community character in the City of Aspen. RESPONSE: The proposal is compatible with the character of the immediate neighborhood, which is long-term, multi-family housing. The development is also consistent with the various goals and programs that the City has been working on to effectively preserve the local nature of the town and provide housing for working residents. h. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment. RESPONSE: The recent relocation of the Community Center services to the new center at the Hospital has made this parcel available for redevelopment. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at the August work session, directed staff to provide information regarding the Public zone. There are six sites, within the City, 8 that are zoned Public: Rio grande SPA, ARt Museum, Sanitation District, City Hall, Fire Station, Court House/Jail, and the Community Center, and the City Shop is in the process of being rezoned Public. During the rezoning review of the old Library, staff recommended denial because we were losing a Public zone. That rezoning was from Public to Office and staff argued that there is adequate Office zoning within the City. There are however, only 2 parcels zoned AH. The AH Zone District is one avenue available for the public and private sectors to address the community's housing problems. This rezoning is proposed as an attempt to develop new affordable housing integrated into the community. i. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter. RESPONSE: The amendment is consistent with established public policy. As early as the 1973 Land Use Plan the development of employee housing was a goal of the community. As was discussed above, many plans and policies have been developed to facilitate affordable local housing for the community. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VOTE 6 YES 0 NO RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends rezoning of the Community Center Parcel, 0100 Lone Pine Road, Aspen Colorado amending the Official Zone District map from Public to Affordable Housing. The Planning and Zoning Commission also has the following recommendation with regard to the subdivision application: 1. For subdivision review the proposal shall comply with the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan and the City of Aspen sidewalk, curb and gutter specifications. 2 . The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in the public right-of-way. 3 . The subdivision application shall address the following: a) considerations of development within public rights-of- way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public right-of-way from City Street Department. b) the Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. 9 c) the site plan shall designate a trash area sized for the needs of the development. d) additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. e) site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. 4. Specific public utility requirement shall be identified in the subdivision application. 5. A trips/day traffic analysis shall be conducted comparing existing traffic patterns with proposed and shall be included in the subdivision application.

Site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. STAFF COMMENTS: A. Background - As part of the comprehensive approach to the City' s housing dilemma, the City Council adopted Ordinance 59 establishing an Affordable Housing Zone District (AH) . The AH zone enables the rezoning of land for the purposes of affordable housing. The Common Ground Housing Group (CGHG) seeks to rezone the Community Center parcel for affordable housing. CGHG proposes to develop a cooperative affordable housing community. The "design objective of the CGHG is to plan a housing development which acknowledges that resident and neighborhood interaction, interdependence and self-management is the essence of community. " The group believes that the Community Center site is very suitable for their needs because a significant portion of the existing center will be preserved as a common house for community dinners and meetings and other interaction among residents . The site is also serviced by RFTA, is located within a multi-family neighborhood, and is within close proximity to commerical/retail services, the Art Museum, Rio Grande playing field and bike paths. 2 Because the site will become available for reuse in the immediate future, the group has been actively working with the County Commissioners to pursue their project. In fact, several City and County departments have formed a steering committee to work with the CGHG through the process. B. Site Description - The Community Center parcel is approximately 85, 944 sq. ft. The existing building is approximately 21, 700 sq. ft. The parcel is zoned Public and is on the edge of the high density, R/MF zoned, Hunter Creek and Centennial neighborhood. Behind the parcel, the base of Red Mountain, single family housing begins. The parcel is oddly shaped. A "dog-leg" portion of the parcel extends behind the new Hunter Longhouse addition along Hunter Creek. Development is not anticipated on this portion of the property. The west parking lot for Hunter Longhouse encroaches onto the Community Center parcel and half of the spaces in that lot will be used by CGHG upon development. Thus, Hunter Longhouse will have less spaces. The applicants intend to retain approximately 5, 794 sq. ft. of the existing building which is the two story kitchen and meeting rooms. This portion of the existing building will be renovated for communal activities. Most of the existing vegetation will be maintained and new landscaping will be provided on site. C. Project Summary - The applicants propose to construct a mix of 21 affordable, deed-restricted residences on the parcel with 33 off-street parking spaces. Potentially the development will contain: five 3-bedroom units, nine 2-bedroom units, and seven 1- bedroom units. The units, one and two stories, will be clustered in groups of four to seven units per building in a staggered configuration so all units will have southern exposure and Aspen Mountain views. According to the application, "the site plan reflects a more progressive approach to housing; one that aspires to intentional neighborhood design with planned interaction among the residents, as well as individual private green spaces. . . The site is intended to foster a pedestrian oriented atmosphere, with car parking at the perimeter, and access to all units from a centrally formed pedestrian route complex. . .h the lex. . . The g P proximity to the center of town and the easy availability of public transportation further provides non-motorized access to the site.

D. Applicable Review - At this time the applicants are only applying for a rezoning. Pursuant to Section 7-1102 the standards of review for an amendment to the Official Zone District Map are as follows: a. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this chapter. RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is consistent with the purpose of the recently adopted Affordable Housing Zone District which is "to provide for the use of land for the production of low, moderate and middle income affordable housing. . .units. . .The AH Zone District is intended for residential use primarily by permanent residents of the Community. . .Lands in the AH Zone District should be scattered throughout the City to ensure a mix of housing types, including those which are affordable by its working residents. . . lands in the AH Zone District should be located within walking distance of the center of the City, or on transit routes. " The proposal is also consistent with the goals identified within the Housing Production Plan. The Plan substantiates the need to produce an additional 800 units by 1995 if growth within the area continues at its present rate. The data also indicates a need for ownership opportunities for families. The Co-Housing proposal will provide 21 units designed to meet the household needs of categories 1, 2 , and 3 for singles as well as families. b. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. RESPONSE: The 1973 Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan is outdated identifying this site as Public with the hospital. However the recent Community Plan effort does provide several citizen derived goals with which the CGHG proposal is consistent: 1. Create a housing environment which is dispersed, appropriately scaled to the neighborhood and affordable. 2 . Preserve and maintain the existing character of the community. 3 . The community should collectively address and resolve its issues and problems by considering the interest of all its citizen. 4 . Create a creative non-auto oriented public, mass transportation system which integrates pedestrian and bike trail systems with community facilities and services. 5. Encourage land uses, businesses, and events which serve both the local community and tourist base. 6 The development of approximately 21 affordable housing units, through the Affordable Housing Zone District is an appropriate approach to dispersed housing development. The proposal is within scale of the surrounding community and preserves the character of the neighborhood. CGHG has sought to include the community within the planning process through advertisements, and small neighborhood meetings (current membership includes employees from a wide range of occupations and a range of ages from 10 months to 62 years old) . The site' s proximity to the bus route and walking distance to North Mill Station provide strong auto-disincentives. The 1982 Draft Smuggler Area Master Plan, which was prepared in anticipation of the development of Centennial but never adopted, suggests increased infrastructure improvements to absorb the impact of new development. Those recommendations included a loop road linking Lone Pine Road to Park Circle, and new sidewalks, trails and bridge improvements. To a large extent, those recommendations have been followed through. c. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding Zone Districts and land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics. RESPONSE: The Hunter Creek/Centennial neighborhood is predominantly multi-family. The parcel is surrounded on two sides by Lone Pine Drive and Red Mountain Road and is adjacent to Hunter Longhouse and the recent 5 unit addition. Dr. Oden' s single family residence is behind the Community Center parcel. CGHG has been working with Dr. Oden to ensure that his concerns regarding the project are addressed. The rezoning from Public to AH is anticipated to replace the peak flow traffic that occurs at the Community Center by more modest and sporadic vehicular movement by the 21 individuals and families residing in the project. d. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety. RESPONSE: According to the application, the development should eliminate the episodic or "peaking" traffic impacts generated by the existing facility. There is anticipated to be modest vehicular movements generated by the project. Given the close proximity to the bus route and North Mill Station services, vehicular movement should be further reduced. The applicants should however perform a traffic analysis comparing trips/day of the existing land use to the proposed land use trips/day. This information should be included in the subdivision application. Within the AH zone, parking is established by Special Review. 7 This proposal intends to provide 33 spaces for 21 dwelling units. e. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities. RESPONSE: According to the application, the project can be serviced by existing water lines. The lines have adequate pressure and capacity to meet both the domestic and fire protection needs of the project. Similarly the ACSD has sufficient line and plant capacity to service the development. A drainage analysis will be prepared and submitted by a professional engineer at subdivision review. Staff will refer the subdivision application to the various public utilities to ensure that infrastructure improvements are not necessary for the specific proposal. f. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. RESPONSE: The site is relatively flat with little vegetation. Existing vegetation will be preserved with additional landscaping proposed including landscape features to buffer the roads and parking from the proposed development. The dog-leg portion of the parcel that abuts Hunter Creek is not intended for development. g. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community character in the City of Aspen. RESPONSE: The proposal is compatible with the character of the immediate neighborhood, which is long-term multi-family housing. The development is also consistent with the various goals and programs that the City has been working on to effectively preserve the local nature of the town and provide housing for working residents. h. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment. RESPONSE: The recent relocation of the Community Center services to the new center at the Hospital has made this parcel available for redevelopment. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at the August work session pertaining to this project, directed staff to provide information regarding the Public zone. There are six 8 sites, within the City, that are zoned Public: Rio Grande SPA, Art Museum, Sanitation District, City Hall, Fire Station, Court House/Jail, and the Community Center. During the rezoning review of the old Library, staff recommended denial because we were losing a Public zone. That rezoning, as you may recall, was from Public to Office and staff argued that there is adequate Office zoning within the City. There are however, only 2 parcels zoned AH. The AH Zone District is one avenue available for the public and private sectors to address the community's housing problems. This rezoning is proposed as an attempt to develop new affordable housing integrated into the community. i. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter. RESPONSE: The amendment is consistent with established public policy. As early as the 1973 Land Use Plan the development of employee housing was a goal of the community. As was discussed above, many plans and policies have been developed to facilitate affordable local housing for the community. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of the Community Center Parcel, 0100 Lone Pine Road, Aspen Colorado amending the Official Zone District map from Public to AH with the following conditions: 1. For subdivision review the proposal must comply with the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan and the City of Aspen sidewalk, curb and gutter specifications. 2 . The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in the public right-of-way. 3 . The Subdivision application shall address the following: a) considerations of development within public rights-of- way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights-of-way from City Streets Department. b) the Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. c) the site plan shall designate a trash area sized for the needs of the development. d) additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. 9 e) site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. 4 . Specific public utility requirements shall be identified in the subdivision application. 5. A trips/day traffic analysis shall be conducted comparing existing traffic patterns with proposed and shall be included in the subdivision application. rn H ) ATTACHMENTS: A.

The engineering department takes no exceptions to the rezoning application. Other staff comments regarding site developments are as follows: 2 . If the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan requires the applicant to install sidewalks, they must conform to the City of Aspen sidewalk, curb and gutter specifications. 3 . Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and development in public rights-of-way, we would like the following condition of approval: The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5080) for design considerations of development within public rights- of-way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights-of-way from city streets department (920-5130) . 4 . The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing improvements in the public right-of-way. 5. There doesn't seem to be a basis for determining the number of parking spaces. It appears that the applicant just took the remaining spaces not affected by development and divided them by the number of units. In addition, some of the parking is "shared parking" with the adjoining Hunter Longhouse Development. The Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. 6. The site needs a designated trash area sized for the needs of the development. 7. Additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. 8. Site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. rt/MEMO91. 72 I� In N N N L() N c0 II II II < O O I- 0 V) z O b- U w U) — - /7 I � I ===MI IM=111 I r-- --_ Vs I/ I 1 � I I' 0 0 Z 5 1 IliillllI --?

This is accomplished by the co- operative efforts of the future residents group identifying community/family needs and incorporating solutions in the housing project ' s unique overall design . Co-Housing differs from standard housing developments in that it specifically requires resident participation in the formation , direction and management of the housing complex: from the design phase , through construction completion , and in an ongoing manner after occupancy . The design objective of the CGUG is to plan a housing develop- ment which ac::no.:ledees that resident and neighborhood interaction , interdependence and self-management is the essence of community . Our group feels that a vital neighborhood is comprised of the following key elements : 1 ) Shared pedestrian areas with outdoor amenities such as play area ' s , gardens, sitting area ' s and adult recreation area ; as well as pedestrian access to individual domiciles and the complex common house 2 ) A multi-purpose multi-family common house which provides space for crafts , hobbies and activities to foster the mutual interest and interaction of the residents as well as facilitate lifestyle needs such as childcare , playroom, laundry, meeting/dining hall/ kitchen space . 3 ) Unity of purpose among residents which creates the strength in numbers to make viable such programs as shared resident transportation by van , and wholesale purchasing of common ( household goods . 4 ) An incorporation of mutual group values and premises into the design and structure of the housing complex resulting in a functioning program which reflects such premises as honesty, responsibility , personal interdependence , trust , civility, and the search for quality, convenience and fellow- ship . We of the Common Ground Housing Group feel the community center site is ideally suited for this Co-Housing type of development because It is possible to utilize the existing buildings and the improvements they house, ie . large kitchen, and meeting rooms . The property is serviced by RFTA, close to essential shopping, the Post Office, the Aspen Art Huseum, Art Park, the new library, the Rio Grande playing fields g and Rio Grande trail system. The development of an affordable housing complex is com- patible with the surrounding residential character and is consistent with surrounding density . Very importantly, the site will be avail- able in a timely manner , and represents an opportunity to create physical stability for as many as twenty-five households within the immediate metropolitan arCca . 1 � 2 \------\\\\\\..,1 \:,.......A , ■ (.....*.....\,.......... . p 9 Key J.'.--s'''''.... .,-„..1/ 4 R,--=,,.. -.:', --k iS C.24:,- ---- CCTV -_ = c _ C=\� - --.1,-.1.7-2-2.

The vision statements relevant to the Community Center Site Project are listed in bold type and the planning method used to comply with the goal is described. Housing: Create a housing environment which is dispersed, appropriately scaled to the neighborhood and affordable. Long-standing planning goals of the community have been : to preserve the housing inventory and to provide dispersed housing opportunities in town. The achievement of these goals will promote a socially and economically balanced community. The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. plans for the Community Center Site will be compldmentary to the existing neighborhood development patterns. The residential units will be deed- restricted to insure the projects long term availability and be affordable to residents/employees. Character: Preserve and maintain the existing character of the community. Traditionally, Aspen 's neighborhoods have been comprised of a mix of housing types, including those which are affordable by its working residents. The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. development will assist in sustaining the "mixed use" residential character of the neighborhood. It will also be compatible in terms of land use, development intensity, site planning , massing and scale. 3 � ~ Process: The community should collectively address and resolve its issues and problems by considering the interests of all it 's citizens. The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. has sought to include the community in the planning process. We have been working on the project for over a year` at all stages of planning we have shown the plans to the neighbors as well as advertised with flyers,ads and posters and have had a number of newspaper articles inviting new input and membership. We currently have a membership of 25 households which include 31 adults and 16 children. The membership roster is comprised of employees from a wide range of occupations and a range of ages from 10 months to 62 years old. Transportation: Create a creative non-auto oriented public, mass transportation system which integrates pedestrian and bike trails system with community facilities and services. The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. plan for the Community Center Site has the potential to be an auto- disincentive site. Common Ground Parking is restricted to the periphery of the site, subordinated to a pedestrian\bike trail around which all structures are designed. • Its housing interacts intimately with its streetscape and people. Because most of the current Community Center building and all of its activities will be removed , the episodic or ''peaking" traffic impacts generated by the existing facility will be replaced by the far more modest and sporadic vehicular movements required of 21 individuals and families. Further reducing traffic generated by the project will be its immediate proximity to mass transit and close proximity to the North Mill Street service area. Because Common Ground is upvalley where residents work , it reduces commuter traffic on Highway 82. Balanced and Managed Growth: Encourages land uses, businesses, and events which serve both the local community and tourist base. The Growth Management Plan was established to ensure that components of community growth are mutually balanced. The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. plan for the Community Center Site will provide upvalley housing for those who serve this growing resort , it responds to some of the community housing shortfall created by resort growth that has already occurred. Existing Conditions : The development plan is designed to be compatible with the environmental conditions of the property, the surrounding pattern of land uses, and the economic characteristics of the affordable, deed restricted housing market. 4 . � 2.2 RELATIONSHIP TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION PLAN The Affordable Housing Production Plan is intended to be used as a tool by elected City and County officials to guide housing decisions through 1995. The purpose of the plan is (5) - fold: * To identify the existing deed-restricted inventory by type, price , and quantity. * To identify the existing affordable housing shortfall and likely demand through 1995. * To identify demographic trends which may influence the community 's decisions regarding the type of affordable housing to build in the future, and * To identify a six (6) year production program to address the community 's affordable housing need. The plan identifies a 1990 deed-restricted housing inventory of 966 units. It also substantiates the need to produce an additional 800 units by 1995 if growth within the area continues at its present rate. To achieve this goal , it is estimated that legislated efforts will provide 222 units; the private sector (City and County) will be responsible for producing 463 units. Current trends indicate a need for ownership opportunities in family housing. Data also indicates the need to provide affordable housing for single-person households. The proposed (21 ) twenty one units are designed to meet the household needs of Categories 1 ,2 and 3 for singles as well as families. (Square Foot Ranges and Income Maximums,Appendix , Exhibit B, Common Ground Members Demographics, Appendix , Exhibit C) . The key factor to the success of the Affordable Housing Production Plan is implementation . • • • 2 el rTTTTMr rr ?\_1- - _L -15 A 4. - • • . . • Dear Carr: The following comments outline our evaluation of the existing community center and its adaptability for re-use as a 24 unit co-housing facility. The first group of comments evaluate the positive and negative aspects of retaining and re-using the existing structure. The second group of comments deal with the positive and negative aspects of demolishing the existing structure and building a new co-housing complex. RE-USE EXISTING STRUCTURE 1. Positive Aspects A. The existing structure has approximately 21,700 square feet without the basement. With the addition of a partial second floor, the structure has adequate square footage to accommodate a 24-unit co-housing complex. B. Due to its past use as a hospital, the building should have more than adequate water, sewer, electrical and natural gas capacities for any new use. C. The kitchen area could be retained and easily adapted for use as the common eating facility. D. Re-use would recycle a viable structure and use less materials to create livable square footage. E. The most probable design solutions for re-use would create many common areas that would force the interaction that is considered necessary to co-housing theory. Summary If the objective of the co-housing group is to create "adequate" living spaces as opposed to "desirable" living spaces, we feel that the main structure, without the second floor, could be converted to co-housing; however, the number of units would have to be reduced. The cost of the conversion would be slightly less than new construction. 2. Negative Aspects SUTHERLAN -F ILUNoINC° Bruce Sutherland, President ° Richard FaInn, Vice President ° Davit Panico, Associate Architecture & Planning ° 1280 litc Avenue ° Aspen, Colorado 816ii ° 303/925-4252 ° FAX 303/925-2639 A. The existing structure, by its configuration and design, is not well suited for residential use, due to the a large perimeter and a large interior "core" area. B. The width of this core area forces design solutions that, in our opinion, are not very desirable. 1. The building code makes it necessary to locate all bedrooms on the exterior walls for proper light, ventilation and egress in the event of a fire. Therefore the living areas would be forced to the interior and would open to courtyard areas that would have no view. 2. To offset the large interior spaces it may be possible to create an interior (covered or uncovered) entry court by interrupting the existing roof structure. This idea creates a whole new series of code problems related to distance to exterior access as well as excessive costs. There are also unknown structural problems related to the variety of roof systems in the existing building and difficulty if a second floor must be added to achieve the proper density. C. The fact that a predominate amount of the existing structure is reinforced concrete (floors, walls and even roofs) means that there would be much less freedom of design than if the structure were of wood. 1. Most of the floor systems are slab on grade, therefore all plumbing would either have to be located in or around existing plumbing risers, recessed into the floor surface by chopping out the slab or by building a new floor system above the old. 2. Many unit configurations would be dictated by existing conditions making for less than desirable design decisions. D. The view orientation of the existing building would create some units with great views toward Castle Creek, Aspen Mountain and Independence Pass, but many units would have views of the Hunter Creek Condominiums, the parking lot or the dirt embankment at the north property line. E. The existing building is sited in such a way that any common use areas would have to be created in small strips of land around the building perimeter in front of other residents' windows. 7 F. The existing building appears old and run down. G. The existing building is probably not very energy efficient. Summary If the objective of the co-housing group is to create truly desirable living spaces in a co-housing community, we feel that most of the Community Center would need to be demolished and retain the existing kitchen wing and basement. By saving some of the existing structure the building is not completely useless; therefore retaining some of the value. There will be minimal saving which will not justify the quality on the end product. Depending on the design, some of the foundations might be usable; however, the utilities are certainly usable. DEMOLISHING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND BUILDING A NEW CO-HOUSING STRUCTURE 1. Positive Aspects A. In the event the building were to be demolished, the existing kitchen wing and basement could be retained as common areas. B. The solutions for a new structure would allow greater design flexibility which would produce a product that would function better and be more aesthetically pleasing. C. The marketability of a new structure would be considerably easier. D. A new structure would be much more energy efficient. E. A new structure could take advantage of the excellent views and site conditions. 2. Negative Aspects A. We believe it is possible to accommodate the co-housing project in the existing Community Center in a cost effective manner, only if it were renovated in a very minimal way and the square footage of units were reduced once the developer attempts to expand either upward or outward the project quickly becomes cost inefficient and it then makes more sense to build a new structure. B. The structure is sound and could be reusable for many other uses other than residential and not destroy its value. Summary The existing structure should be demolished with the exception of of the kitchen and basement wing. If the building were remodeled it would not be anywhere near the quality of a new structure. The end result could be the co-housing residents would probably not be interested in participating in a venture of that nature. The important factor is that the project should produce the best possible environment for the co-housing community. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office. Sincerely, Bruce R.

The potential development plan may consist of seven (7) 1-bedroom townhouses, nine (9) 2-bedroom townhouses and five (5) 3-bedroom townhouses. The units will be clustered in groups of four to seven units per building. The site plan (figure 4. 1 ) reflects a more progressive approach to housing; one that aspires to intentional neighborhood design with planned interaction among the residents, as well as individual private green spaces. It is envisioned as a diverse community , both in terms of the residents and the physical configuration of the units. There will be three (3) income category types, as well as 3 different bedroom configurations ( 1 ,2,and 3 bedrooms per unit) . The site is intended to foster a pedestrian oriented atmosphere , with car parking at the p �~---� - - oriented � formed � imeter anaaccess to all units from a centrally perimeter , route through the complex . The proximity to the pedestrian of and the easy availability of public transportation �~' further provides non-motorized access to the site. The existing curb cuts will be retained for car access and the overall traffic impact should be less than the current Community Center use. Perhaps the most unique feature is the inclusion of a common house as an integral part of the design and philosophy of Common Ground. The two-story portion of the existing Community Center building will be renovated to provide spaces for shared communal activities, such as cooking and eating group dinners, a greenhouse, recreational and lounge spaces for both children and adults, storage spaces and guest rooms for resident's visitors. Although not physically in the center of the site due to the existing location , the common house will serve as the focal point for shared group activities. Outdoor spaces will be much more than just "open space" , as Common Ground intends to develop a children ' s play area , a garden , and a terrace overlooking Hunter Creek , as well as a in the center from which all units have their access and "front"commons" n orientation. In addition each unit will have it 's own private "backyard" space, away from the common areas. The character of the buildings will strive for a human scale development with a diversity of architectural form. All the townhouse clusters are a mixture of one and two stories, with a staggered configuration in the plan to allow all units to have some Southern exposure and a view toward Aspen Mountain. The roofs of all the units are sloped in a variety of configurations which is compatible with much of Aspens residential appearance. 10 m~ All units will have their own patio and individual front entry from the commons as well as a clearly defined private area in back The existing portion of the Community Center Building to ^ house is a 2 story , flat roofed be retained for the common nf ousefirst floor is structure, most of the = below grade, which ' however , mse will be added on the A functional greenhouse its mass^ u outside Side , and communal functions can extend ou s ide in seasonal weather through the addition of a terrace at grade on the West Side and an upper level deck to the East. Almost all of the existing trees can be retained , and new landscaping will be added around the site. Some of the areas around parking will be bermed to soften the visual impact of cars, both to the Lone Pine Road as well as the units themselves. (see site section) A decorative entry gate and special landscaping will serve to give an identity to the project and reinforce the pedestrian access to the common area JF4pl.11) (f) \\. gw�,.;weem+ LU o - 44y 7 eae.uw.aes:r.0 N 1111 p ,.) d Mq s • ed enn�mumeq '4, `Re FlaiwaSIS spy owwomm ... 31°d •�.. uenmwewe wr.d J. .,,..=:- � I) may' .`-y N -4 Z 11,1 r-• 1-- 1-- ---I \J1 — - a.

The lines have adequate pressure and capacity to meet both the domestic and fire protection needs of the project. 4. 2 SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM The Aspen Sanitation District has sufficient line and plant capacity to service the development. 4.3 DRAINAGE SYSTEM It is anticipated that the development shall have minimal impact on the site 's historic drainage patterns. A drainage analysis will be prepared and submitted by a professional engineer at detailed submission. 4.4 FIRE PROTECTION The site is contained within the Aspen Fire Protection District. The Aspen fire station is located on East Hopkins Ave. approximately 5 blocks from the site. Response time is estimated to be between five (5) and ten ( 10) minutes. There is a fire hydrant in the immediate vicinity of the site. 4.5 DEVELOPMENT DATA Compliance with Section 5-206. 2 Affordable Housing (AH) of the Municipal Code is shown in Table 4. 1 , Dimensional Requirements. Table 4. 2, Development Data, summarizes the Community Center Site Affordable Housing proposal . 4. 6 TRAFFIC AND PARKING Because most of the current Community Center building and all of its activities will be removed , the episodic or "peaking" traffic impacts generated by the existing facility will be replaced by the far more modest and sporadic vehicular movements required of 21 individuals and families. Further reducing traffic generated by the project will be its immediate proximity to mass transit and close proximity to the North Mill Street service area. The proposed development has 1 . 5 parking places per unit. 4. 7 AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Community Center Site development will provide 100% affordable, deed-restricted housing in compliance with Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Guidelines and 1990-1995 Production Plan. A summary of the proposed affordable housing project is detailed in Table 4. 2 12 . � 4. 8 STOVES AND FIREPLACES None are currently proposed. 4.9 PROXIMITY TO PUBLIC FACILITIES The site is near a variety of community facilities. The Public Facilities Map ( figure 4. 4 ) illustrates the projects ' relationship to parks, schools, libraries, governmental offices, etc. 4. 10 EFFECT ON ADJACENT LAND USES The Community Center Site project is in a multi-family, residential neighborhood. The land use patterns and neighborhood character will be maintained and strengthened by this zone amendment. 13 irr --c-%,Th,T ,r T "g"--.• -ri, ,-4.1,1 a----., --k T-,-44 i-Th, S. fi ir A Ptii.), 1 ..._ A_ 1 _...... l '4 i J I-) ,..-)bli i‘_LA i.....:f 1-- ~ ~ 5.0 LAND USE REQUIREMENTS The Common Ground Housing Association , Inc. project is subject to the following review requirements: Sub-division; Condominiumization; Amendment to Official Zone Map; Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) Exemption and special review for parking or other items as required.
