Zoning: L-1 and R-15 (PUD)(L). Lot Size: 6,003 square feet. Applicant' s Request: Lots 3 and 4 of the Capitol Hill Addition which have merged pursuant to Section 24-13.6(d) of the Code, are bisected by the zone district line running between the L-2 and R-15(PUD)(L) zone districts. Most all of Lot 3, the northern half of the two parcels, is zoned L-2 while the remaining southern half which contains Lot 4 is zoned R-15(PUD)(L). The applicant wishes to build a conforming duplex on this parcel on a conforming lot and is requesting a rezoning of the southern half of the property from R-15(PUD) (L) to L-2 to accomplish this. The applicant submitted this request on August 15, the annual date of rezoning by private applications. Referral Comments: The Engineering Department commented that the legal description indicates that the two lots in question are not legal lots in either the L-2 or R-15 zone district in that the lots are slightly less than 60 feet wide and therefore do not meet the minimum lot width requirement of the Code. Engineering also commented that the rezoning would not impact services in the area and would not present any engineering problems. Background: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-15(PUD)(L) to L-2 in order to build a duplex on the 6,000 square foot subject parcel . A duplex is allowed in the R-15 zone district, but only on lots 15,000 square feet or greater, therefore, a rezoning to L-2 is requested for the purposes of building a duplex on a conforming lot. After reviewing City records, the Planning Office can find no reason for the V. Mark parcel being bisected by the two different zone districts. After researching the R-15(L) zone district, we find that the (L) overlay is not listed in the Code even though it is found on the zoning map. This will be corrected when the use tables are revised in the near future. The R-15 (L) zone was intended to be a transition area between the lodge districts and the "C" - Conservation zone district on Aspen and Shadow Mountains. The R-15(L) district allows lodge uses, but on a less intensive scale since the R-15 area and bulk requirements must be met. In essence, the zone allows short term lodge uses in single family and duplex structures. Alternatives: After reviewing the applicant' s request and making a site inspection, the Planning Office feels that several different alternatives could accomplish the desired duplex on the subject parcel . These methods are discussed below. 1 . Rezone to L-2 and deed restrict the development to a duplex. 2. Keep the existing zoning and allow a duplex on the L-2 portion of the property. 3. Rezone the entire property to R-15 (PUD(L). Memo: Valdamar Mark Rezoning October 26, 1982 Page Two 1 . Rezone to L-2. This is the alternative requested by the applicant. This cleans up the zone district line bisecting the parcel , but several other problems arise. First, an L-2 designation would upzone the parcel , allowing a higher density and a higher FAR which the Planning Office feels is inappropriate for the site. If the parcel is deed restricted to a duplex and a reasonable FAR, the density and FAR concerns could be eliminated. A second issue involved in an L-2 rezoning is that the R-15 (PUD)(L) transition zone would be reduced. Half of the subject property is designated R-15(PUD)(L) in order to provide an area of transition between intensive lodge uses and the "C" - Conservation zone district. An upzoning to L-2 eliminates the gradual transition for which the R-15(PUD) (L) was intended. Again, a deed restriction on the FAR and the use of the parcel for a duplex would eliminate these concerns. A third issue arising from an L-2 zoning is that the Planning Office' s study on lodge units in Aspen shows that the buildout potential for new short term units under existing zoning is adequate enough to provide for future growth, especially with the new L-3 district. Since lodging needs can be met at existing locations, there is no need for an upzoning to L-2, especially if it provides further justification for other lands to rezone to lodge uses. As shown on the attached zoning map, the 3,000 square foot parcel to be rezoned would not significantly affect or increase the existing lodge areas, especially when develop- ment on the parcel is restricted to a duplex. 2. Keep the Existing Zoning. If the applicant' s proposed duplex is located on the existing L-2 portion of the property, the duplex will be conforming if the minimum lot requirements and other area and bulk requirements of the L-2 district are met. An appropriate compromise of the L-2 and R-15 FARs could be made for the project through the PUD process. The major problem with this alternative is that forcing the development to locate on one portion of the property brings greater impacts to the adjacent property owners at Fifth Avenue Condominiums. With a minimum five yard setback, the structure could block the view of Aspen Mountain from Fifth Avenue as well as concentrate the bulk on the structure on the lot nearest these condominiums. 3. Rezone to R-15(PUD)(L). A rezoning of the entire V. Mark parcel to R-15(PUD)(L) will not allow the applicant to build a duplex on the property since 15,000 square feet is required for a duplex in this zone district. PUD procedures cannot decrease the minimum lot requirements below what the Code allows. This however, could be the best method of cleaning up the zone district line problems, if P & Z determines that only a single family structure should be built on the site. An R-15(PUD)(L) rezoning removes the line from the middle of the V. Mark parcel without adding a new area zoned for high density lodge uses and eliminates the difficulty of enforcing a duplex deed restriction on an L-2 parcel . However, a duplex is located between the subject site and the ski mountain, and Fifth Avenue abruptly arises to the north of the parcel . In view of the surrounding land uses, a duplex appears to be a reasonable request for the subject site. If P & Z agrees that a duplex is an appropriate use for the site, this cannot be accomplished through an R-15(PUD) (L) rezoning. Planning Office Review: Ordinance 19, Series of 1982 establishes review criteria for evaluating a rezoning. Since this is a small parcel being rezoned which will create only minor impacts, the only pertinant review criteria involves the compatibility of the rezoning with Memo: V. Mark Rezoning October 26, 1982 Page Three surrounding zone districts and land uses. With the L-2 zone surrounding the parcel on three sides, an L-2 rezoning is compatible with the surrounding zoning. The proposed duplex on the subject parcel will be located next to a duplex to the south of the property and Fifth Avenue Condominiums to the north and east, therefore the proposal is compatible with surrounding uses. The Planning Office feels that a duplex is a reasonable, compatible use of the subject site, and we recommend that P & Z recommend to Council the approval of the applicant' s request for a rezoning to L-2, if the applicant agrees to deed restrict the property to a single family or duplex structure. The FAR of the structure should also be limited to a size appropriate for a duplex in this transition area. The following illustrates the resulting allowable floor areas under the L-2 and R-15 requirements: Zone Allowable Floor Area L-2 6,000 sq. ft. R-15 3,600 sq. ft. L-2/R-15 (average) 4,800 sq. ft. The Planning Office feels that an appropriate floor area limi- tation would be 4,200 square feet - a mid point between the above 3,600 and 4,800 square foot figures. A 4,800 square foot structure is somewhat excessive on a 6,000 square foot lot in this transition area. Also, a 3,600 square foot structure (1 ,800 square feet per unit) seems to be too small in light of what is marketable on such a valuable piece of property. A 4,200 square foot structure represents a .7 FAR. The existing R-15 (PUD)(L) parcel has a mandatory PUD designation due to potential slope problems. The Planning Office recommends that the "PUD" still be attached to the new L-2 zone so that the slope reduction formula still comes into play. Section 24-8. 13 of the Code (Mandatory PUD) allows P & Z to exempt a project from compliance with the four step PUD process if the proposed project meets the objectives of the planned unit development. If the applicant wishes to be exempt from PUD procedures, such a request and sufficient justification for such a request should be submitted to the Planning Office for subsequent review. Planning Office Recommendation: The Planning Office recommends that P & Z recommend the approval of the rezoning of Lots 3 and 4, Capitol Hill Addition, to L-2(PUD) subject to the following conditions: 1 . Any future development must be deed restricted to a single family or duplex structure with such restrictive covenants approved by the Attorney' s office; and 2. The floor area of any future structure is limited to a maximum of 4,200 square feet. 3. Mandatory PUD procedures must be followed unless an exemption is obtained from P & Z. • RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM.0 C.F.MOECKFL B.B.&L.CO. 1 provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.

Koch, City Clerk • • • { 3 MEMORANDUM TO: Paul Taddune, City Attorney FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office • RE: V. Mark Rezoning Applfication DATE: August 30, 1982 • The Planning Office cannot determine why the V. Mark parcel was bisected by two different zone districts. After reviewing City records and questioning Kathryn Koch and Lou Buettner, no reason for the division can be found. The southern portion of the parcel , Lot 4, is zoned R-15/PUD/L. Although not listed in the Code, R-15/PUD/L is found on the zoning map and is a transition zone between the "C" - conservation zone on the mountain and zone districts allowing lodge uses. The R-15/L district allows short term uses under R-15 area and bulk requirements. In essence, the zone allows short term lodge uses in single family and duplex structures. After a very preliminary review, the Planning Office sees the following concerns: 1 . The rezoning request is made in order to make the current use of the property (a single family residence) conforming. Both the L-2 and R- 15/PUD/L zone allow single family structures and thus it is not now non-conforming. 2. There is no justification for upzoning half of the parcel to L-2. The R-15 zone district requires the use on the parcel to adhere to the FAR requirements of Ordinance 11 , series of 1982. Single family and duplex structures in the L-2 zone district are not covered by Ordinance 11 and multi-family structures have a 1 :1 FAR. A rezoning to L-2 would allow multi-family uses and a higher allowed floor area. 3. A rezoning of half the parcel would eliminate the transition between the mountain conservation area and neighboring lodge uses for which the R-15/L was intended. 4. It is assumed that the "PUD" designation was placed on the property due to the necessity for slope consideration. This should not be removed unless sufficient justification proves it should be removed. • • • • MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office RE: Valdamar Mark Rezoning DATE: November 22, 1982 APPROVED AS TO FORM: 164 Location: 918 South Mill (Lots 3 and 4, Capitol Hill Addition Zoning: L-2 and R-15 (PUD)(L) Lot Size: 6,003 square feet.

Surrounding property owners at Fifth Avenue condominiums have expressed the concern that the five yard setback in the L-2 zone district would permit a structure that would obstruct the views from their units. They have requested a building envelope which provides a sufficient setback from their structure to eliminate this problem. • • , Ordinance 19, Series of 1982 establishes review criteria for evaluating a rezoning. Since this is a small parcel being rezoned which will create only minor impacts, the only pertinant review criteria involves the compatibility of the rezoning with surrounding zone districts and land uses.

The Planning Office feels that an L-2 rezoning with a duplex is a reasonable, compatible use of the subject site, if the applicant deed restricts the property to a single family or duplex structure as he has agreed to do. A reasonable restriction on the allowed floor area and a designated building envelope are important issues but are issues which could be more appropriately dealt with through the mandatory PUD process. Since half of the subject property (Lot 4) currently has a PUD designation, the Planning Office feels it is inappropriate to remove this designation without sufficient justification for doing so. Also, if the property is rezoned L-2 (PUD) , a reasonable floor area and building envelope can be determined through the PUD process. Planning Office and Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Office and Planning and Zoning Commission recommend an L-2 (PUD) rezoning of Lots 3 and 4, Capitol Hill Addition as described in the attached property description with the requested deed restriction to a single family or duplex structure placed on the property. Both P & Z and the Planning Office recommend that the following issues be addressed in the mandatory PUD process: FAR, setback/building envelope, height, slope and surrounding land uses.

HOLLEYMAN Mr. Sunny Vann Planning Director HAND DELIVERED City of Aspen 130 S. Galena St. Aspen, Co. 81611 Dear Sunny: Enclosed please find an application to amend the zoning district map so as to rezone a portion of the property described therein in accordance with Article XII, Section 24 , of the Municipal Code which we are submitting on behalf of our client Valdamar Mark, owner of the property. Submitted together with the application are the following: 1 . The names and addresses of the owner of the real property in the area of the proposed change; 2. Names and addresses of all owners of real property within 300 ' of the area of the proposed change; 3 . The signature of the applicant, owner of the property; 4. A check in the amount of $475 , which is the requisite fee under Ordinance 82 series of 1981 . 5 . A survey of property to be rezoned. As the application indicates, the zoning district line bisects the property so that approximately one-half of the area to the north is zoned L2 and the balance to the south is zoned R15 PUD. Although we intend to elaborate further at the time this is presented to the P&Z , our position simply stated is that where a parcel of property such as this is divided by a zoning district line so that a portion of the property would be considered non-conforming, the zoning line should be adjusted so that the current use of the property is deemed to be conforming. It is my understanding that the application will be considered by the P&Z in October. I would appreciate it very much if you would advise me of the Planning Department' s position on this application prior to that time.

BENNETT Box 4127 Aspen,Colorado 81612 ePRY HARVEY, Chairman Planning & Zoning Commission City of Aspen Aspen, Colorado Oct . 29 , 1982 Tu: Aspen Planning & Zoning Commission RE : V. Mark Rezoning I am writing on behalf of several 5th Ave. Condominium owners to request that the Planning & Zoning Commission con- sider rezoning the V. Mark property to R-15 instead of L-2. This possibility is described as Alternative #3 in the 10/26 memorandum to P & Z from Alice Davis.- When one examines the zoning map of the area, it appears quite clear that the planners who drew the map intended the R-15 zone to wrap around and follow the contours of the densely developed condominium area at the top of Mill and Galena streets. The R-15 line falls on the south edge of Lots 12 & 13 and should have been drawn to make a small dog- leg to follow the south edge of Lot 11 as well . Had this been done, Lots 3 & 4 would both have been R-15 , as was al- most certainly intended. It would seem very doubtful that the planner who drew the map intended to run a zoning line through the middle of the existing house on Lots 3 & 4. It would be logical to assume that the intention was rather to follow the edge of the existing condominiums in the area, since that is exactly what the zoning line does along the rest of its length. The inclusion of Lot 3 in the L-2 area appears to be a simple oversight on the part of someone drawing a map without physically checking the property to make sure that he had his lines in the right place. It is precisely the same kind of oversight on the part of a surveyor that resulted in Lots 3 & 4 having less than 6000 sq. ft. between them. The Planning Dept. has stated that it will treat the property as a fill 6000 sq. ft . be- cause that was the probable intent of the surveyor and because the Dept . doesn't feel a property owner should be penalized for a surveyor 's mistake. I fully agree with this reasoning; however , I believe it applies equally to an adja- cent property owner being unjustly penalized by the mistake of someone drawing a zoning map. Whether P & Z decides to rezone the property R-15 or L-2, I strongly urge the Commission to designate a building envel- ope in the center of the lots for any new construction. If th3 owner were allowed to build on the property ' s north side with only a 5 ft. setback, even a 3600 sq. ft . building would completely cut off the adjacent 5th Ave. condominiums from all of their view and most of their sunshine. Such a building 5 ft. from the property line would amount to a monolithic ba:rier severing the adjacent property owners from all con- tact with the mountain. In summary, I urge the Planning & Zoning Commission to leave Lots 3 & 4 in their present very appropriate use - a single family dwelling - and that you require any replacement building to be built in a way that will show both respect and sensitivity for its neighbors. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely, 5. /3 - ohn S. Bennett MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office RE: Valdamar Mark Rezoning /J DATE: December 27, 1982 APPROVED AS TO FORM:� i►-•T.� — Location: 918 South Mill (Lots 3 and 4, Capitol Hill Addition' Zoning: L-2 and R-15 (PUD)(L) Lot Size: 6,003 square feet. Applicant' s Request: Lots 3 and 4 of the Capitol Hill Addition which have merged pursuant to Section 24-13.6(d) of the Code, are bisected by the zone district line running between the L-2 and R-15 (PUD)(L) zone districts. Most all of Lot 3, the northern half of the two parcels, is zoned L-2 while the remaining southern half which contains Lot 4 is zoned R-15 (PUD)(L). The applicant wishes to build a conforming duplex on this parcel on a conforming lot and is requesting a rezoning of the southern half of the property from R-15 (PUD)(L) to L-2 to accomplish this. The applicant submitted this request on August 15, the annual date of rezoning by private applications. Referral Comments: The Engineering Department commented that the legal description indicates that the two lots in question are not legal lots in either the L-2 or R-15 zone district in that the lots are slightly less than 60 feet wide and therefore do not meet the minimum lot width requirement of the Code. Engineering also commented that the rezoning would not impact services in the area and would not present any engineering problems. Background: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-15 (PUD)(L) to L-2 in order to build a duplex on the 6,003 square foot subject parcel . A duplex is allowed in the R-15 zone district, but only on lots 15,000 square feet or greater, therefore, a rezoning to L-2 is requested for the purposes of building a cuplex on a conforming lot. After reviewing City records, the Planning Office can find no reason for the V. Mark parcel being bisected by the two different zone districts. The R-15 (L) zone is intended to be a transition area between the lodge districts and the "C" - Conservation zone district on Aspen and Shadow Mountains. The R-15 (L) district allows lodge uses, but on a less intensive scale since the R-15 area and bulk requirements must be met. In essence, the zone allows short term lodge uses in single family and duplex structures. Planning Office Review: The proposed rezoning of the subject property to L-2 would clean up the zone district line bisecting the parcel , but several other problems arise. First, an L-2 designation would upzone the parcel , allowing a higher density and a higher FAR which the Planning Office feels is inappropriate for the site. If the parcel is deed restricted to a duplex and a reasonable FAR, the density and FAR concerns could be eliminated. A second issue involved in an L-2 rezoning is that the R-15 (PUD)(L) transition zone would be reduced. Half of the subject property is designated R-15 (PUD)(L) in order to provide an area of transition between intensive lodge uses and the "C" - Conservation zone district. An upzoning to L-2 eliminates Memo: V. Mark Rezoning December 27, 1982 Page Two the gradual transition for which the R-15 (PUD)(L) was intended. Again, a deed restriction on the FAR and the use of the parcel for a duplex would eliminate these concerns. A third issue arising from an L-2 rezoning is that the Planning Office' s study on lodge units in Aspen shows that the buildout potential for new short term units under existing zoning is adequate enough to provide for future growth, especially with the new L-3 district. Since lodging needs can be met at existing locations, there is no need for an upzoning to L-2, especially if it provides further justification for other lands to rezone to lodge uses. As shown on the attached zoning map, the 3,000 square foot parcel to be rezoned would not significantly affect or increase the existing lodge areas, especially when develop- ment on the parcel is restricted to a duplex. Surrounding property owners at Fifth Avenue condominiums have expressed the concern that the five yard setback in the L-2 zone district would permit a structure that would obstruct the views from their units. They have requested a building envelope which provides a sufficient setback from their structure to eliminate this problem. Ordinance 19, Series of 1982 establishes review criteria for evaluating a rezoning. Since this is a small parcel being rezoned which will create only minor impacts, the only pertinant review criteria involves the compatibility of the rezoning with surrounding zone districts and land uses. With the L-2 zone surrounding the parcel on three sides, an L-2 rezoning is compatible with the surrounding zoning. The proposed duplex on the subject parcel will be located next to a duplex to the south of the property and Fifth Avenue Condominiums to the north and east, therefore the proposal is compatible with surrounding uses. The Planning Office feels that an L-2 rezoning with a duplex is a reasonable, compatible use of the subject site, if the applicant deed restricts the property to a single family or duplex structure as he has agreed to do. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends an L-2 (PUD) rezoning of Lots 3 and 4, Capitol Hill Addition as described in the attached property description with the requested deed restriction to a single family or duplex structure placed on the property. P&Z recommended that the following issues be addressed in the mandatory PUD process: FAR, setback/ building envelope, height, slope and surrounding land uses. Council ' s 1st Reading Actions: At the first reading of this Ordinance, Council indicated that they felt a reasonable FAR for the V. Mark parcel was 4,800 square feet, 1 ,200 square feet lower than the 6,000 square feet allowed in the L-2 zone district. Council also indicated that a building envelope was not necessary or appropriate since side- yard setbacks provide the legal requirements for distances between structures on adjacent properties. Council agreed that the L-2 rezoning requested by the applicant was appropriate and that a PUD designation was not necessary. Ordinance No. 66 was approved on first reading November 22, 1982 with a 4,800 FAR and no PUD designation. Memo: V. Mark Rezoning December 27, 1982 Page Three Council Action: If Council approves of the attached ordinance, the appropriate motion is as follows: "I move to approve Ordinance No. 66 on second reading. " MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Alice Davis, Planning Office RE: Valdamar Mark Rezoning DATE: October 19, 1982 The applicant and the Planning Office have mutually agreed that the V. Mark Rezoning should be tabled until the next regular P & Z meeting on November 2, 1982 in order to allow time for a more detailed review. Since this item is scheduled for a public hearing tonight, the hearing should be opened and continued to November 2, 1982. , . , . . . , .

As a property owner of long standing at Fifth Avenue, please consider this as a firm and forceful objection to the proposal . I see no offsetting benefits in any way commensurate to the detrimental effects that would arise from this new development. It is my sincere request that in the event the matter is pursued, the Planning and Zoning Commission reject the proposal as its lack of merit is clearly obvious. Your judicious handling is requested.
