Hyman Ave, involving the short-term rental of the subject unit to be used for Private Athlete VIP Safe House during the X-Games event (January 25 — 27, 2013). The applicant is requesting a Temporary Use Permit, pursuant to Land Use Code Chapter 26.450, Temporary and Seasonal Uses. SUMMARY: The Applicant has requested a Temporary Use Permit from January 25 — 27, 2013, from the hours of 6pm — lam, to allow the subject unit to be used for a variety of activities such as food & beverage, games, graffiti wall art and an athlete gifting suite. All activities will occur inside the premise, and there will be no sales of any kind. STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Chapter 26.450, Temporary and Seasonal Uses of the City of Aspen Land Use Code, Staff finds the request meets the requirements of an Insubstantial Temporary Use, with conditions. The approval conditions are as follows: • The applicant will coordinate with the City's HPC Officer on all items to be attached to the building to ensure that they are attached in a manner that will not damage the historical structure. • The parks department has the following conditions in order for Viva Beverage to use the trees in front and on the side of the building: 1.

The property exists in the Commercial Core (CC) zone district and although it would not be permitted as an ongoing use in the zone district, it is temporary in nature. Staff believes the applicant's requested use is appropriate in that it will add interest to the area, help to create a vibrant environment and celebrate the festivities of the X-Games, and will have minimal impact upon the surrounding area. Staff feels the applicant's request will have no significant impact on vehicular traffic, noise levels or the current character of the neighborhood. Furthermore, this request will not negatively impact general a: public health, safety or welfare. The projected lights on the Crystal Palace building were approved by Council by consent at their January 11 `h, 2013 meeting.

Attachments: Exhibit A - Review Standards Exhibit B - Application Aft 11'00,4y Date Date Exhibit A Review Criteria and Staff Findings Sec. 26.450.030. Criteria applicable to all temporary uses. When considering a development application for a temporary use or an insubstantial temporary use, the Community Development Director or City Council shall consider, among other pertinent factors, the following criteria as they or any of them, relate thereto: A. The location, size, design, operating characteristics and visual impacts of the proposed use. Staff Response: The proposed use will operate from January 25 — 27, 2013, from the hours of 6 pm —1 am, to allow the subject unit to be used for a variety of activities such as food & beverage, games, graffiti wall art and an athlete gifting suite. The majority of activities will occur inside the premise and will not create visual impacts. The portions that are outside of the building were either approved by the appropriate City departments, or by City Council. Stafffinds this criterion met. B. The compatibility of the proposed temporary use with the character, density and use of structures and uses in the immediate vicinity. Staff Response: The surrounding uses in the immediate vicinity are primarily lodge and commercial in the area. The proposed temporary use is found to be compatible with the character, density and use of these structures. Staff finds this criterion met. C. The impacts of the proposed temporary use on pedestrian and vehicular traffic and traffic patterns, municipal services, noise levels and neighborhood character. M Staff Response: It is anticipated that the proposed use will have minimal impact on vehicular traffic, municipal services, and neighborhood character. There will likely be an increase in pedestrian traffic throughout the area in general due to the X-Games event and visitors to Athlete VIP safe house; however, this is not anticipated to be significant due to the proposed temporary use. Staff finds this criterion met. D. The duration of the proposed temporary use and whether a temporary use has previously been approved for the structure, parcel, property or location as proposed in the application. Staff Response: The temporary use is proposed to take place from January 24`" — 27`" 2013, from 6 pm — I am. No other temporary use has been previously proposed for this structure, parcel, property or location during these dates/times. Staff finds this criterion met. E. The purposes and intent of the zone district in which the temporary use is proposed. Staff Response: The temporary use is located within the Commercial Core (CC) zone district. The purpose of this district is to allow for retail, service commercial, recreation, and institutional purposes. Although the temporary use would not typically be permitted on a permanent basis within this zone district, the short time period is not anticipated to negatively impact the zone district. Staff finds this criterion met. F. The relation of the temporary use to conditions and character changes which may have occurred in the area and zone district in which the use is proposed. Staff Response: There are no changed conditions in the CC zone district that would affect this proposal. The proposed temporary use will bring interest and help encourage pedestrian traffic in the area. Staff finds this criterion met. G. How the proposed temporary use will enhance or diminish the general public health, safety or welfare. Staff Response: It is not anticipated that the proposed temporary use will in any way diminish the healthy, safety, or welfare of the general public.

Hyman, (Crystal Palace), Temporary Use permit — Consent Agenda DATE: January 14, 2013 REQUEST OF COUNCIL: This memo provides information on a proposed temporary use permit. Staff has approved most of the requests and seeks direction on one remaining aspect of the proposal. If approved on consent this last item will be approved. SUMMARY: Viva Beverages, through a local representative Debra Doyle, plans on using the old Crystal Palace building for a private function aimed at the athletes during X-Games from January 25"' -27`b. The building will be decorated in "Rastafarian" fashion, and includes outdoor lights in trees, decorations including banners and lights on the building, and projected lighting on the outside of the building. The attached exhibits give a clearer sense of what is proposed. Staff has approved the following items: • 2 — 6'xl2' red, green and yellow striped flags hanging on the outside of the building. • Windows will be curtained and lit from inside in red, yellow and green. • The applicant will coordinate with the Engineering department on putting 2 "stone lions" on the sidewalk flanking the entrance. • Following the approvals of the Parks department, the applicant plans on hanging colored lights on the trees in front of the building on Hyman and Monarch, and attaching light projecting "leko lights" to the trees projecting words on the sidewalk surface. The applicant has agreed to the recommendations Parks has made to ensure that these activities do not damage the trees. • The applicant plans on hanging burlap panels on the outside of the building and hanging colored lights over the "owl" painting on the Monarch side of the building. Amy Guthrie has reviewed the method being proposed to attach these elements, and deemed them to be acceptable for an historic building. SUMMARY (cont.): Staff seeks direction from Council on one item. If approved on consent, this item will be implemented: The applicant has proposed lighting features that would involve gobo lights projected on the outside of the building. These would consist of projected words 15' high and 30' wide and be projected from a 12' high pole mounted to the roof of the one story element of the building. These lights would be the words RASTAFARI and RESPECT on alternating nights. Added to these words, would be 3 lights up -lighting the wall where the words are projected in color — red, yellow and green. All of the light effects would be static, and all components and lights would be on private property only.
