RE: South Aspen Street Lodge Conceptual PUD Review—Public Hearing
Continued from September 18, 2012
DATE: September 25, 2012
SUMMARY:
Tonight's hearing is a continuation of last week's hearing to review the South Aspen Street PUD
application. The Commission provided feedback to the applicant last week concerning program,
site plan, and massing. Tonight's meeting will offer the applicant the opportunity to show
updated concepts and responses to the Commission's input. As plans remain in flux at the time
of this memo, no new drawings are provided in advance of the meeting.
Staff is proposing tonight's meeting to be similar to last week's where the Commission can
provide additional feedback. Staff has not prepared a resolution for tonight's meeting. Staff
suggests that the hearing be continued to October 2nd when a resolution can be considered.
Staff is preparing a resolution stating the Commission's collective position on the project by
topic. For example, the Commission believes the parking garage access for the lodge should be
oriented to South Aspen Street, not Garmisch, to minimize traffic impacts on the neighborhood.
The Commission requests the applicant explore the vacation, or partial vacation, of Juan Street
in order to adjust the footprint of the lodge building southward.
The Commission's position on these conceptual parameters will then be forwarded to the City
Council for a similar discussion. If the project appears acceptable at a conceptual level, a more
refined final review would occur with the Commission and then again with City Council.
Staff recommends the Commission receive the presentation, review the updated designs, solicit
public comment, and provide feedback regarding the project's site plan, program, and massing.
Staff recommends the Commission then continue the hearing to October 2nd
