MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Aspen Board of Adjustment
FROM: Jeffrey Barnhill, Zoning Enforcement Officer
THRU: Bob Narracci, Zoning Administrator
RE: 630 W Hopkins, Dimensional Variance Review
Resolution No. 1, Series of 2020
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2020
APPLICANT:
Wingstone Toy Company LLC
REPRESENTATIVE:
Joseph Spears, S2 Architects
LOCATION:
630 W Hopkins Avenue. Lots M and N, Block
25, City and Townsite of Aspen, County of
Pitkin, State of Colorado. PID#273512448520
CURRENT ZONING AND USE:
630 W Hopkins is located within the R-6 zone
district and is developed with a single-family
residence.
Lot Size: 6,000 square feet
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Applicant requests a side yard dimensional
setback variance from the minimum required in
the R-6 zone district to accommodate
construction of a roughly 7 foot tall retaining
wall.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the BOA make a finding that a hardship does
not exist on the subject property and deny the variance
requests.
FIGURE 1: CURRENT CONDITIONS

Page 2 of 5
REQUEST OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: The Applicant is requesting the following approval from the Board of
Adjustment:
• Variance (Chapter 26.314) to grant a dimensional variance for this site, reducing the minimum setback
requirements in the R-6 zone district (The Board of Adjustment is the final review authority).
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS:
630 W Hopkins Avenue is identified as Lots M and N, Block 25, City and Townsite of Aspen, County of Pitkin, State
of Colorado. Currently 630 W Hopkins is developed with a single-family residence. 630 W Hopkins is bounded by
634 W Hopkins to the west, and they each share a half of a sunken courtyard in between the properties. It appears
that the lot was developed some time in the late 70’s to early 80’s; however, building permit information is scant
for this property in relation to when the sunken courtyard was constructed. A building permit file for 634 W Hopkins
from 1981 mentions a stairway addition to the patio which staff believes is in relation to the sunken courtyard.
Additionally, an improvement survey from 2007 shows the courtyard in existence.
Figure 2: Subject Property Location:
R-6 ZONE DISTRICT:
The R-6 zone district requires the following minimum setbacks for a 6,000 square foot lot:
5
Page 3 of 5
• Front Yard: Principal buildings 10’ and Accessory buildings 15’.
• Side Yard: Minimum 5’ with a total combined side yard setback of 15’.
• Rear Yard: Principal buildings: 10’. For the portion of a principal building used solely as a garage: 5’.
Accessory buildings: 5’.
REQUEST:
The Applicant requests approval for a dimensional setback variance for this lot to accommodate construction of a
proposed new seven (7) foot tall retaining wall, located two (2) inches from the side yard property line. Specifically,
the following variance is requested:
630 W Hopkins Avenue Setback Variances:
• West Side Yard Setback Variance: 2”
Figure 3: Proposed site plan

Page 4 of 5
REVIEWS
SETBACK VARIANCE: The criteria for receiving a variance (Exhibit A) are strict. A property owner must demonstrate
that reasonable use of the property has been withheld by the City and can only be achieved by the City providing a
variance. In situations where all, or practically all, reasonable use of a property is made impossible by development
regulations, the City is able to grant a variance to avoid a “regulatory taking”. The property owner must demonstrate
that their rights, as compared with owners of similar properties, have been deprived. In considering these criteria,
the Board of Adjustment must consider unique conditions inherent to the property which are not the result of the
Applicant’s actions and are not applicable to other parcels, buildings, or structures.
STAFF COMMENTS
Staff responses to the Variance review criteria can be found in Exhibit A. In review of the application, Staff is
concerned that the application does not show compliance with the applicable variance review criteria, specifically
criterion 3. Land Use Code Section 26.314.040.A.3 highlights a distinct difference between causing an Applicant
“unnecessary hardship” in contrast to the creation of a “mere inconvenience”. In consideration of this Code
language, it should be noted that the property already contains a single-family residence. The courtyard is a man-
made condition that creates an inconvenience on the subject property at this moment in time. Denial of the
requested setback variance to accommodate the proposed retaining wall will not deny the property’s fundamental
development rights or cause an unnecessary hardship, though denial may result in an inconvenience to the
Applicant.
Additionally, Staff is concerned that Land Use Code Section 26.314.040.A.3.a is not satisfied and that a special
circumstance or condition does not exist on the property to warrant the finding of a hardship. The Applicant has
argued that the proposed retaining wall plan attempts to meet the goals of the current land use code; however,
seven-foot-tall retaining walls that do not satisfy the minimum required setbacks, are prohibited by the Land Use
Code. Further, if the entire courtyard between 630 and 634 W Hopkins were to be filled in, then there would be no
need for a variance.
In determining whether a hardship exists on the subject property, consideration should be given to the adequacy of
the proposed two-inch side yard setback. If the variance is approved, installation and future maintenance of the
proposed retaining wall will necessitate access onto the adjacent property.
REFERRAL AGENCIES
Staff referred this request to the Engineering Department for a cursory review of the proposed retaining wall.
Engineering requests that the applicant provide a construction plan that demonstrates that the retaining wall can
be constructed without impacting the neighboring property. Alternatively, the applicant needs to provide a
construction agreement from the neighboring property allowing excavation and disruption their property.
Additionally, the applicant will need to show where rain runoff is currently routed on site and the proposed
rerouting.
Staff also referred the application to the City Parks Department who provided comments on the request. Parks
requested that access for the proposed project occur off the alley. No trees will be impacted by the proposed
retaining wall.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that this application reflects a request of inconvenience rather than a hardship, and that there may be
alternative design solutions to achieve compliance with setbacks. Staff recommends that the BOA make a finding
that a hardship does not exist on the property and pass a motion to deny the requests.
7
Page 5 of 5
ALTERNATIVE:
The BOA may want to make a finding that a hardship exists on the property and pass a motion to approve the
proposed two-inch side yard setback to accommodate the retaining wall. Should the BOA find a hardship exists on
the property, a potential motion should reflect the existing surrounding development pattern relating to side yard
setbacks in the neighborhood and the potential impacts to the neighboring parcel.
PROPOSED MOTION (All motions are proposed in the affirmative):
1) “I move to approve the denial of BOA Resolution No. 1, Series 2020.” (this reflects Staff’s recommendation)
Or, in the alternative:
2) “I move to approve BOA Resolution No. 1, Series 2020 and find that a hardship exists on the property.”

Exhibit A –Variance Review Criteria
Chapter 26.314, Variance
A. In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the
appropriate decision-making body shall make a finding that the following three (3)
circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives
and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code; and
Staff Findings: The purpose of the City’s land use code not only protects the public’s
health, safety, and welfare, but also identifies a property’s rights which includes
reasonable expectations for property owners. Staff believes a reasonable expectation is
that zoning limitations are observed and enforced as uniformly as practicable. Staff finds
this criterion not met.
2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the parcel, building or structure; and
Staff Findings: Staff finds that reasonable use of the parcel has already been established
with the single-family residence on the property. Staff finds this criterion not met.
3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcel s in the same zone
district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's rights would be deprived,
the Board shall consider whether either of the following conditions apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant; or
Staff Findings: This section highlights a distinct difference between causing an Applicant
“unnecessary hardship” in contrast to the creation of a “mere inconvenience”. In
consideration of this Code language, it should be noted that the courtyard is a man-made
condition that exists on the property. Staff finds this to be a mere inconvenience rather
than an unnecessary hardship. Denial of the requested side yard setback variance for the
construction of a roughly 7’ retaining wall will not deny the property’s fundamental
development rights or cause an unnecessary hardship.
Additionally, Staff is concerned that a special circumstance or condition does not exist on
the property to warrant the finding of a hardship. The Applicant argues that the
constraints are more than a mere inconvenience and constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Staff finds this criterion not met.
12
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege denied
by the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings or
structures, in the same zone district.
Staff Findings: Staff finds that should the BOA find that a hardship exists, property
specific findings should be made so that special privilege is not conveyed with the grant
of a variance. Staff finds this criterion conditionally met.

Land Use Review Fee Policy
The City of Aspen has established a review fee policy for the processing of land use applications. A flat fee or deposit is
collected for land use applications based on the type of application submitted.
A flat fee is collected by Community Development for applications which normally take a minimal and predictable amount of
staff time to process. Review fees for other City Departments reviewing the application (referral departments) will also be
collected when necessary. Flat fees are cumulative – meaning an application with multiple flat fees must be pay the sum of
those flat fee. Flat fees are not refundable.
A review fee deposit is collected by Community Development when more extensive staff time is required.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the deposit. Various City staff may also charge their time spent on the case in
addition to the case planner. Deposit amount may be reduces if, in the opinion of the Community Development Director, the
project is expected to take significantly less time to process than the deposit indicates.
A determination on the deposit amount shall be made during the pre-application conference by the case planner. Hourly
billing shall still apply.
All applications must include an Agreement to Pay Application Fees. One payment including the deposit for Planning and
referral agency fees must be submitted with each land use application, made payable to the City of Aspen. Applications will
not be accepted for processing without the required fee.
The Community Development Department shall keep an accurate record of the actual time required for the processing of a
land use application requiring a deposit. The City can provide a summary report of fees due at the applicant’s request. The
applicant will be billed for the additional costs incurred by the City when the processing of an application by the Community
Development Department takes more time or expense than is covered by the deposit. Any direct costs attributable to a
project review shall be billed to the applicant with no additional administrative charge. In the event the processing of an
application takes less time than provided for by the deposit, the department shall refund the unused portion of the deposited
fee to the applicant. Fees shall be due regardless of whether an applicant receives approval.
Unless otherwise combined by the Director for simplicity of billing, all applications for conceptual, final and recordation of
approval documents shall be handled as individual cases for the purpose of billing. Upon conceptual approval all billing shall be
reconciled and past due invoices shall be paid prior to the Director accepting an application for final review. Final review shall
require a new deposit at the rate in effect at the time of final submission. Upon final approval all billing shall be again reconciled
prior to the Director accepting an application for review of technical documents for recordation.
The Community Development Director may cease processing of a land use application for which an unpaid invoice is 30 or more
days past due. Unpaid invoices of 90 days or more past due may be assessed a late fee of 1.7% per month. An unpaid invoice o f
120 days or more may be subject to additional actions as may be assigned by the Municipal Court Judge. All payment information
is public domain.
All invoices shall be paid prior to issuance of a Development Order or recordation of development agreements and plats. The City
will not accept a building permit for a property until all invoices are paid in full. For permits already accepted, and unpaid invoice
of 90 days or more days may result in cessation of building permit processing or issuance of a stop work order until full payment is
made.
The property owner of record is the party responsible for payment of all costs associated with a land use application
for the property. Any secondary agreement between a property owner and an applicant representing the owner (e.g.
a contract purchaser) regarding payment of fees is solely between those private parties.

CITY OF ASPEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURE
1.Attend pre-application conference. During this one-on-one meeting, staff will determine the review process
which applies to your development proposal and will identify the materials necessary to review your application.
2.Submit Development Application. Based on your pre-application meeting, you should respond to the
application package and submit the requested number of copies of the complete application and the application
and the appropriate processing fee to the Community Development Department.
3.Determination of Completeness. Within five working days of the date of your submission, staff will review the
application, and will notify you in writing whether the application is complete or if additional materials are
required. Please be aware that the purpose of the completeness review is to determine whether or not the
information you have submitted is adequate to review the request, and not whether the information is sufficient
to obtain approval.
4.Staff Review of Development Application. Once your application is determined to be complete, it will be
reviews by the staff for compliance with the applicable standards of the Code. During the staff review stage, the
application will be referred to other agencies for comments. The Planner assigned to your case or the agency may
contact you if additional information is needed or if problems are identified. A memo will be written by the staff
member for signature by the Community Development Director. The memo will explain whether your application
complies with the Code and will list any conditions which should apply if the application is to be approved.
Final approval of any Development Application which amends a recorded document, such as a plat, agreement or
deed restriction, will require the applicant to prepare an amended version of that document for review and
approval by staff. Staff will provide the applicant with the applicable contents for the revised plat, while the City
Attorney is normally in charge of the form for recorded agreements and deed restrictions. We suggest that you
not go to the trouble or expense of preparing these documents until the staff has determined that your
application is eligible for the requested amendment or exemption.
5.Board Review of Application. If a public hearing is required for the land use action that you are requesting,
then the Planning Staff will schedule a hearing date for the application upon determination that the Application is
complete. The hearing(s) will be scheduled before the appropriate reviewing board(s). The applicant will be
required to nail notice (one copy provided by the Community Development Department) to property owners
within 30 feet of the subject property and post notice (sign available at the Community Development Department)
of the public hearing on the site at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing date (please see Attachment 6 for
instructions). The Planning Staff will publish notice of the hearing in the paper for land use requests that require

Variance on Retaining Wall in Setback – Written Description
630 W. Hopkins – Remodel Project is requesting a variance to construct a retaining
wall in the setback.
Background:
The project currently has a large light well between 630 W. Hopkins and 634 W.
Hopkins from when the houses were originally built. This light well spans across the
property line and takes up the entire side yard.
The current light well does not conform to the zoning setback codes. The code
states that light wells in the setback are to be the minimum size for egress. This light
well is much larger than the minimum for egress.
The current light well is also greater than 100 sq. ft. Based on the current zoning
code this requires that you take the building height from the bottom of the light well.
In this case the building is over the height limit.

Email: joseph@s2architects.com
34
35
Proposed Design and Variance Criteria:
1. The proposed design attempts to meet the goals of the current zoning code
by filling in the large light well and instead proposing smaller egress light wells
from each bedroom. This is to be consistent with the goals and objectives of
the Municipal Code.
2. The proposed design is asking for the minimum in order to bring the side yard
light well into conformance. We are requesting a minimal concrete retaining
wall to retain the earth on the property line. The neighbors at 634 W. Hopkins
do not wish to submit for a building permit at this time and fill in their portion of
the side yard light well. Those owners will likely do this at a later date.
3. There is a special circumstance that is unique to the property and to bring the
property back within the zoning codes we must construct a concrete retaining
wall within the setback. This retaining wall will only extend above grade at a
minimum, likely 6” and will not be seen from the street or alley.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Aspen Board of Adjustment
FROM: Kevin Rayes, Planner
Sophie Varga, Zoning Enforcement Officer
THRU: Bob Narracci, Zoning Administrator
RE: 616 W. Main Street, Dimensional Variance Review
Resolution No. 02, Series of 2020
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2020
APPLICANT:
616 W Main St LLC
REPRESENTATIVE:
Chris Bendon, BendonAdams
LOCATION:
616 W. Main Street, Unit A
CURRENT ZONING AND USE:
Historic Landmark Site within the
Mixed Use (MU) Zone District;
• Unit A (Front): Commercial Use (Subject
Property)
• Unit B (Rear) Free-Market Residential Unit
Lot Size:
3,000 Square Feet (0.069 acres)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant requests a variance from the
minimum net lot size requirements of the MU zone
district to convert Unit A from a commercial space
to a free-market single-family dwelling- creating
two free-market single family residences on a lot of
3,000 sq. ft.
Historic landmark properties within the MU zone
district require a minimum net lot area of 6,000 sq.
ft. to accommodate two free-market dwelling
units (3,000 sq. ft. per dwelling unit).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not support a variance on this property
and recommends denial of the request.

REQUEST OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: The Applicant is requesting the following approval from the Board
of Adjustment:
• Variance (Chapter 26.314) to grant a dimensional variance for this site, reducing the minimum net lot size per
dwelling unit requirement of the MU zone from 3,000 sq. ft. to 1,500 sq. ft. (The Board of Adjustment is the final
review authority).
Please note that the application also addresses the topics of Growth Management and Parking. These reviews
are not within the purview of the Board of Adjustment and will be addressed entirely by the Historic Preservation
Commission at a later date.
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS:
616 W. Main is a 3,000 sq. ft. historic designated property located in the Mixed Use (MU) zone district. The parcel
is an original townsite and is improved with two structures, each under separate ownership. Unit A is located at
the front of the lot and Unit B at the rear (See Figure 3). Unit A is approved for commercial use and Unit B is
approved as a free-market residence.
Pursuant to Land Use Code Section 26.710.180, Mixed Use, the minimum net lot area per dwelling unit for a historic
landmark property within the MU zone district is 3,000 sq. ft.; a historic property improved with two detached
single-family residences requires a net lot area of 6,000 sq. ft. The MU zone district does not prescribe a minimum
net lot area for commercial uses.
It has come to staff’s attention that the owner of Unit A has been using it as a residence, renting it on a short-term
basis (Exhibit C). This is an illegal use of the building. The owner wishes to legally use the building as a residence,
creating two free-market single-family dwellings on the lot. The applicant requests a 3,000 sq. ft. variance from
the minimum net lot size requirements of the MU zone district to allow two single-family dwellings on the lot. The
applicant believes that because Unit A functioned as a single-family dwelling at one time, converting it back to a
residential use complies with the requirements of the MU zone district.

REVIEWS
VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM NET LOT AREA PER DWELLING UNIT:
The criteria for receiving a variance (Exhibit A) are strict. A property owner must demonstrate that reasonable use
of the property has been withheld by the City and can only be achieved by the City providing a variance. In
situations where all, or practically all, reasonable use of a property is made impossible by development regulations,
the City is able to grant a variance to avoid a “regulatory taking”. The property owner must demonstrate that their
rights, as compared with owners of similar properties, have been deprived. In considering these criteria, the Board
of Adjustment must consider unique conditions inherent to the property which are not the result of the applicant’s
actions and are not applicable to other parcels, buildings, or structures.
STAFF COMMENTS
The City of Aspen has sought to maintain a strong inventory of commercial spaces, which for years have been
under pressure of conversion to free-market residential due to market demands. A goal of the Aspen Area
Community Plan is to “encourage a commercial mix that is balanced, diverse, vital and meets the needs of year-
round residents and visitors.” In 2005, the Office zone district was re-written to be the Mixed-Use zone district to
help achieve this community goal. The MU zone district allows a larger floor area for commercial uses compared to
residential spaces and does not prescribe a minimum net lot area for commercial use. This code revision included
the imposition of a 20 percent floor area reduction on new free-market residential space as a disincentive for
development to continue to trend in that direction. During the Council hearing when the MU zone district was
adopted, “Bendon noted this area is typically locally serving commercial. This code amendment [creating the MU
zone district] discourages new single-family and duplex.”
Staff believes that the minimum net lot area prescribed for residential uses does not create a development
hardship that is unique to this parcel. In three of the largest zone districts, R-6, RMF and MU, the minimum lot
area per free-market single-family residence is 6,000 square feet. A duplex or two-detached homes may be
allowed with a minimum net lot area per dwelling unit of 4,500 square feet. Only historic landmarks have been
allowed a duplex or two free-market homes with a minimum of 3,000 square feet per unit as a long-standing
historic preservation benefit. The applicant is requesting two free-market homes with a minimum of 1,500 square
feet per unit, which is unprecedented. This 3,000 square foot lot is not unique. In fact, within the Main Street
Historic District where this parcel sits, 12 of the 63 parcels are 3,000 square foot lots, and within the remainder of
the Mixed-Use zone district, 2 additional parcels are 3,000 square feet. Within the adjacent R-6 zone district, 23
lots are 3,000 square feet and within the RMF zone district, 14 lots are 3,000 square feet. If a reduced density per
dwelling unit is appropriate, it should be considered as a code amendment applicable to other comparable
properties and not just a variation granted to this site. It is worth noting that in 2019, City Council approved
substantial amendments to the historic preservation program, revoking numerous benefits. The concept of
increasing free-market density on landmarked properties was not raised as a goal or pursued in any manner.
The subject parcel was developed in the late 1800s as a single-family home. In the 1990s, an outbuilding on the
site was converted to a deed restricted ADU. ADUs are not counted as units of density, therefore this was an
allowed use. In 2004, a Change in Use approval was granted to convert the front structure to commercial use. The
outbuilding remained an ADU for some time, then converted to free-market residential, which was permissible
because the ADU was voluntarily created and one free-market home was allowed on the site. With the front
building in commercial use, the rear building took the allotment for one free-market unit on the site. For years
the subject property functioned with a commercial space in the front (Unit A) and a residential use in the rear (Unit
B). While maintaining Unit A as a commercial space may not align with the desires of the owner, reasonable use
of the property is still possible. The application indicates that the current or previous property owner could have
made an application for a simple Change in Use at some point in the past to convert the front unit to free-market
residential but merely failed to do so. This is incorrect as the property has never allowed for two free-market
residential units on this lot size. In addition, adding free-market development triggers the need for board level
review, rather than administrative review, of parking and affordable housing mitigation.
45
Page 4 of 4
Staff believes that requiring Unit A to remain a commercial space would not deprive the applicant of the rights
commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district. The adjacent properties, both historically
designated, comply with the underlying dimensional requirements of the MU zone district. To the East, 612 W.
Main St. is improved with a single-family dwelling on a 6,000 square foot lot. The dwelling complies with the net
lot area and other dimensional requirements of the zone district. To the West, 630 W. Main St. contains a city-
owned building consisting of administrative offices on a 3,000 square foot lot. All improvements comply with the
net lot area and other dimensional requirements of the zone district.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Adjustment deny a variance from the minimum net lot area
requirements of the MU zone district to convert Unit A to a residential use. The criteria require that
reasonable use of the parcel be achieved by granting a variance or that a unique, site-specific condition
warrants a variance. Although the owner wishes to convert Unit A to a residential use, the net lot area
of the parcel is too small to accommodate two single-family dwellings. The underlying zoning of the
MU zone district was put in place to incentivize commercial spaces and to discourage additional
residential dwellings; it is common for properties in this zone district to comply with underlying zoning
to achieve this desired community goal.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Staff recommends denial of the request. Two motions are proposed, both of which are written in the
affirmative. The first approves the resolution while the second denies the resolution.
Motion 1:
“I move to approve Resolution No. 02, Series 2020, approving a variance from the minimum net lot size
requirements of the MU zone district to convert Unit A from a commercial space to a single-family dwelling.”
If the Board determines that the criteria are not met for a Variance, the following motion may be used:
Motion 2:
“I move to approve Resolution No. 02, Series 2020 denying a variance from the minimum net lot size requirements
of the MU zone district to convert Unit A from a commercial space to a single-family dwelling.”

Exhibit A –Variance Review Criteria
Chapter 26.314, Variance
In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of Title 26, the Board of
Adjustment shall make a finding that the following three (3) circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives
and policies of this Title and the Municipal Code:
Staff Findings:The purpose of the City’s land use code is very general. It does, however,
speak to the legitimate rights and reasonable expectations of property owners. Staff
believes a reasonable expectation is that zoning limitations are observed and enforced as
uniformly as practical.
In three of the largest zone districts, R-6, RMF and MU, the minimum lot area per free-
market single-family residence is 6,000 sq. ft. A duplex or two-detached homes may be
allowed with a minimum net lot area of 4,500 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Only historic
landmarks have been allowed a duplex or two free-market homes with a minimum of 3,000
sq. ft. per unit as a long-standing historic preservation benefit. The applicant is requesting
two free-market homes with a minimum of 1,500 sq. ft. per unit, which is unprecedented.
For context, the Main Street Historic District where this parcel sits, 12 of the 63 parcels are
3,000 sq. ft. lots. Staff finds this criterion not met.
2. The grant of a variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the parcel, building or structure:
Staff Findings:Staff finds that granting a variance is not necessary to achieve reasonable
use of the parcel. Unit A functioned as a commercial space for at least six years (2004-2009).
Although the owner wishes to convert Unit A to a residential use, the net lot area of the
parcel is too small to accommodate two single-family dwellings. The underlying zoning of
the MU zone district was put in place to incentivize commercial spaces and to discourage
additional residential dwellings; it is common for properties in this zone district to comply
with underlying zoning to achieve this desired community goal. Staff finds thiscriterionnot
met.
54
3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone
district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as distinguished from mere
inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's rights would be deprived, the
Board shall consider whether either of the following conditions apply:
a. There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant; or
Staff Findings:The subject parcel is 3,000 sq. ft. and complies with the minimum gross
lot area of the MU zone district. This parcel is an originalAspen townsite, developed in
the late 1800s as a single-family home. In the 1990s, an outbuilding on the site was
converted to a deed restricted ADU. ADUs are not counted as units of density,
therefore this was an allowed use. In 2004, a Change in Use approval was granted to
convert the front structure to commercial use. The outbuilding remained an ADU for
some time, then converted to free-market residential, which was permissible because
the ADU was voluntarily created and one free-market home was allowed on the site.
With the front building in commercial use, the rear building took the allotment for one
free-market unit on the site. For years the subject property functioned with a
commercial space in the front (Unit A) and a residential use in the rear (Unit B). While
maintaining Unit A as a commercial space may not align with the desires of the owner,
reasonable use of the property is still possible. Staff believes that requiring Unit A to
remain a commercial space would not deprive the applicant of the rights commonly
enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district. The adjacent properties, both
historically designated, comply with the underlying dimensional requirements of the
MU zone district. To the East, 612 W. Main St. is improved with a single-family dwelling
on a 6,000 sq. ft. lot. The dwelling complies with the net lot area and other dimensional
requirements of the zone district. To the West, 630 W. Main St. contains a city-owned
building consisting of administrative offices on a 3,000 sq. ft. lot. All improvements
comply with the net lot area and other dimensional requirements of the zone district.
Staff finds this criterion not met.
b. Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege denied
by the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels, buildings or
structures, in the same zone district.
Staff Findings: While some neighboring properties can accommodate two single-family
dwellings due to a larger lot size, many parcels within the zone district are 3,000 sq. ft.
and subject to the same conditions and dimensional requirements that encumber 616
W. Main. Staff finds this criterion not met.

RE: 616 West Main Street
Variance for Minimum Lot Size
Change-in-Use to Residential
Special Review for Parking Waiver
Ms. Phelan:
Please accept this application for a variance to
the minimum lot size requirements to enable
two single-family residences on a lot of 3,000
square feet; a change-in-use of the property
from commercial to residential; and, special
review for a parking waiver.
This property in an anomaly in the Mixed Use
(MU) Zone District with its small, 3,000sf size
and historic use as a residence. The applicant
is seeking an “official” return to residential use
after being used as a residence since 1891.
As provided in the attached pre-application conference summary, the application requests
review by the Board of Adjustment regarding the variance for minimum lot size and a
subsequent review by the Historic Preservation Commission regarding the change-in-use
request and a special review request to waive the parking requirement.
The application is submitted on behalf of the owner of Unit A – 616 W Main St LLC,
managed by Jordan Nemirow. BendonAdams is authorized by 616 to submit this
application.
The 616 property has long been used as a residence. Other than a brief time as a frame
shop, 616 has been used continuously as a home. The property was converted back to
a residence after the frame shop use ceased in approximately 2008. Although the Land
Use Code at the time allowed for a simple administrative change-in-use with no housing

mitigation required, the official paperwork was never filed with the City. The property was
sold to the current owner as a residence and all materials surrounding the sale spoke to
the property being residential. The applicant used this property as his personal residence
and raised his first daughter in the home. The property continues in its residential use
supporting both long- and short-term occupancies.
The property is part of the Original Townsite and has a right to develop by virtue of being
a legally-establish lot of record prior to the inception of subdivision and growth
management legislation.
The reversion to residential should represent a net decrease in employee generation.
Generation rates stated in the City of Aspen Land Use Code for commercial development
state 3.6 FTEs generated per 1,000sf while residential development generates only .16
FTEs per 1,000sf. So, converting the structure back to residential represents a net
decrease in impact according to the City’s analysis. To the extent impact mitigation must
be provided, the applicant requests the mitigation be roughly proportional to the
measurable impact.
Property
The property was originally platted as Lot N, Block 24,
City and Townsite of Aspen. The property has been
condominiumized and is officially known as 616 West
Main Condominiums.
Two structures on the property exist. Unit A, the 616
building is along the “front” of the property, along Main
Street, and the subject of this application. Unit B, 616½
West Main is located along the alleyway and is used as
a residence
Zoning
According to the City of Aspen Zone District Map, the
property is zoned Mixed Use (MU). The MU Zone
allows for single-family and duplex development. The
MU Zone specifically allows for “two detached single-
family residences,” which is the outcome sought by this
application.

616 W. Main St.
Page 3
300 SO SPRING ST | 202 | ASPEN, CO 81611
970.925.2855 | BENDONADAMS.COM
The property has long been used as a
residence and disallowing and discontinuing
this use represents a significant hardship
upon the owner.
The map to the right shows
the property’s zoning.
Literal enforcement of the MU Zone’s minimum lot size eliminates any potential for this
property to be used as a residence – its historic and ongoing use. The home is modest in
size and “fits” with the character of West Main Street. The proposed use is an allowed
use and is the minimum necessary to make for reasonable use of the property as a
residence and to avoid a hardship on the owner.
We believe the Board of Adjustment’s approval of the minimum lot size is well within the
spirit and intent of the City’s Land Use Code as well as necessary to avoid an
unreasonable hardship upon the landowner. Approval is defensible from a standard-of-
review standpoint and would be a responsible action of the Board.
The change-in-use and special review requests are within the Historic Preservation
Commission’s purview and this application is responsive to the standards of review.
Allowing this home to revert back to its historic use and historic parking pattern would be
in keeping with the character of Main Street.
We look forward to your review and an opportunity to discuss this request with the Board
of Adjustment and the Historic Preservation Commission. Please let us know if we can
provide additional information or if we can respond to your input in any way.

Review Criteria

Section 26.314.040.A – In order to authorize a variance from the dimensional requirements of
Title 26, the appropriate decision-making body shall make a finding that the following three (3)
circumstances exist:
1. The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the
purposes, goals, objectives and policies of this Title and the
Municipal Code.
Response – Title 26 of the Municipal Code (known as the Land Use Code)
provides zoning limitations and development standards for properties in the
City of Aspen. The purpose of Title 26, stated in 26.104.020 includes the
analysis of various development factors “and the legitimate rights and
reasonable expectations of property owners.”
The 616 property is an historically designated property originally developed as a residence and
has been used as a residence throughout the majority of its existence. The property was used
as a commercial frame shop for a limited time starting in 2004. The structure was then converted
back to a residence in approximately 2008. Although the process to revert back to a residence
was administrative at the time with no mitigation requirements, no such official request was
made.
The property was purchased by the current owner as a residence. That was the use at the time
of purchase and as represented by the seller. The building has been used as a residence by
this owner since 2014.
The “purpose” of the Mixed-Use Zone District recognizes the historic residential use of properties
along Main Street. Below is the Purpose statement for the MU Zone District.
59
Exhibit 1
Review Criteria
page 2
The purposes statement finishes with the sentence “standalone residential uses are permitted on
properties as a reflection of the historic residential nature of the zone district.” Allowing this
property to continue as a standalone residence is entirely in keeping with the purpose of the MU
Zone District and the history of the property.
The property is zoned for single-family and duplex development. The property has been used as
a residence for 125 of its 129-year life. Prior to the frame shop, the property was used as a
residence since 1891. The 3,000 square foot lot size has never been an issue. The owner has
a legitimate and reasonable expectation to be able to continue to use the property as a residence.
A variance to the required lot size to enable the continued use as a home is consistent with the
purpose of the MU Zone District.
2. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable
use of the parcel, building or structure.
Response – The continued use of this property as a residence is requested as a reasonable use
of the property. The application is the minimum necessary to allow for the continued use as a
residence and will not enable additional development beyond the current allowance. Two homes
are permitted on parcels in the MU Zone District. The variance to the minimum lot size would
extend this allowance to this property, which is 3,000 square feet.
The home is very modest in size. The 616 home is 915 square feet of Floor Area with an interior
net livable measurement of 832 square feet. Surrounding homes are much larger, including
homes in the West End neighborhood that are 5 and 6 times the size. This variance request to
the minimum lot size is the minimum necessary to permit the reasonable use of the property as a
single-family home.
60

3. Literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Title would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone
district and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship, as distinguished from mere
inconvenience. In determining whether an applicant's rights would be deprived, the Board
shall consider whether either of the following conditions apply:
a) There are special conditions and circumstances which are unique to the parcel,
building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or
buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
b) Granting the variance will not confer upon the applicant any special privilege
denied by the terms of this Title and the Municipal Code to other parcels,
buildings or structures, in the same zone district.
Response – The property is very unique in that it still reflects the Original Townsite platting of 30’
x 100’ lots. The City has downzoned and forced aggregation of parcels and most parcels now
consist of two, three, or four Townsite lots. Single Townsite lots are very rare. This parcel is a
holdover from the zoning changes and forced aggregation of parcels. This unique circumstance
requires a unique approach.
Other aspects of the property’s zoning could be adjusted. Development in a setback could be
avoided or even corrected (assuming HPC approvals). The property size is entirely outside the
control of the owner, not the result of the landowner’s actions, and impossible to correct.
Granting of this variance would provide no special privileges to this owner that are not already
enjoyed by similar parcels in the MU Zone including this property today. Residential use is
common along Main Street and the property has been used as a residence since 1891, other than
a short span as a frame shop.
Being able to continue to use the property as a residence, as it has been used for decades, is not
an unreasonable request. The residence “fits” with the character of Main Street and aligns with
the purposes of the MU Zone District.
61

Parking
Response – The site currently has no parking
provided for either building. Prior to being a
frame shop, the residence had no on-site
parking. A Special Review in 2004 granted a
waiver of the parking with support from City staff.
Staff at the time commented on the availability of
parking in the neighborhood and the negative
aesthetic effects of having parking in the
backyard.
According to Table 26.515-1, up to 2 spaces are
required to accommodate the conversion back
to a residence.
Table 26.515-1 – Parking Impact
Requirement Calculations
Section 26.515.050 provides a range of options for meeting the City’s parking requirements. On-
Site parking, cash-in-lieu, and off-site parking options are detailed and vary by location, as
described in Table 26.515-2.
Table 26.515-2 – Parking
Requirements by Zone District
Note #4 of Table 26.515-2 allows flexibility for
Historically designated properties. “For
properties listed on the Aspen Inventory of
Historic Landmark Sites and Structures, a
waiver of the Parking Requirement may be
approved, pursuant to Chapter 26.430, Special
Review, and according to the review criteria set
forth below.”
This application seeks a two-space parking
waiver upon review by the Historic Preservation
Commission. The criteria for this waiver are
addressed below.
62
Exhibit 1
Review Criteria
page 5
Section 26.515.070.E allows tandem parking for single-
family and duplex development. “Off-street parking
provided for detached residential dwellings and duplex
dwellings is not required to have unobstructed access to a
street or alley, but shall not block access of emergency
apparatus to the property or to structures located on the
property. This allows for "stacking" of vehicles where a
vehicle is parked directly behind another.”
In the event the waiver is not granted by HPC, the
applicant will install two tandem spaces in the rear of the
property. This is not a desirable scenario. Removal of a
fence (non-historic) would be needed and the spaces
would consume the only useable outdoor space the
residents currently enjoy.
The diagram to the right depicts how the
two tandem spaces would be situated. The
picture shows the existing fence that would
be removed to accommodate parking.

26.515.080. Special Review Standards.
Whenever the transportation, mobility, and parking impacts of a proposed development are
subject to special review, an application shall be processed as a special review in accordance
with the common development review procedures set forth in Chapter 26.304 and be evaluated
according to the following standards. Review is by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
If the project requires review by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Community
Development Director has authorized consolidation pursuant to Subsection 26.304.060.B, the
Historic Preservation Commission shall approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the
special review application.
A special review for establishing, varying or waiving transportation, mobility, or off-street parking
requirements may be approved, approved with conditions or denied based on its conformance
with all of the following criteria:
1. The transportation, mobility, and off-street parking needs of the residents, customers, guests
and employees of the project have been met, taking into account potential uses of the parcel,
the projected traffic generation of the project, any shared parking opportunities, expected
schedule of parking demands, the projected impacts on the on-street parking of the
neighborhood, the proximity to mass transit routes and the downtown area and any special
services, such as vans, provided for residents, guests and employees.
Response – The property has long operated with two residences and no on-site
parking. The carriage house (Unit B) was developed in the mid-1990s and has
operated successfully with no on-site parking for the past 25 years. The 616 house
(Unit A) has always operated with no on-site parking, both as a residence and as
a commercial unit.
Residents do park in available street parking and capacity exists to continue this
practice. The property is ideally situated for relying on transit with roughly 800
buses per day with service on the Castle Maroon, Cemetery Lane, Burlingame,
Highlands, Snowmass, and valley-wide routes. The cross-town shuttle is also two
blocks from the property. The property is served by a WeCycle station on 4th Street
and another on 8th Street. The property is served by the free (to use) ‘Downtowner’
shuttle service. Pedestrian infrastructure is complete in the area. The property is
substantially served by transit.
2. An on-site mitigation solution meeting the requirements and guidelines is practically difficult
or results in an undesirable development scenario.
Response – The Land Use Code is very clear that the HPC has the ability to
“waive” the parking requirement. The parking can be physically installed on the
property. Removal of a fence would be required and the one area for outdoor use
by the residents would be consumed by cars. This is unnecessary and
undesirable. The residents have adequate street parking and access the abundant
transit options. The current occupants, for example, do not own a car. Having
cars occupy the one outdoor area the two residential units enjoy is an undesirable
scenario.
64
Exhibit 1
Review Criteria

3. Existing or planned on-site or off-site facilities adequately serve the needs of the development,
including the availability of street parking.
Response – Existing facilities are
adequate to serve the needs of this
residence. Continuing to use the
property for a residence will have no
additional impact on the availability of
parking in the neighborhood. Street
parking is typically available, except
for times during special events – 4th
of July, X-Games, etc. when parking
throughout town is a challenge.

parking availability on 5th

26.470.080 General Review Standards
All Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council applications for growth management
review shall comply with the following standards.
A. Sufficient Allotments: Sufficient growth management allotments are available to
accommodate the proposed development, pursuant to Subsection 26.470.040.B. Applications for
multi-year development allotment, pursuant to Paragraph 26.470.110.A shall be required to meet
this standard for the growth management years from which the allotments are requested.
Response – The 2020 Growth Management “year” began January 1st and there
does not appear to be other allotment request pending.
B. Development Conformance: The proposed development conforms to the requirements and
limitations of this Title, of the zone district or a site specific development plan, any adopted
regulatory master plan, as well as any previous approvals, including the Conceptual Historic
Preservation Commission approval, the Conceptual Commercial Design Review approval and the
Planned Development – Project Review approval, as applicable.
Response – A variance request regarding lot size and a request to waive parking
are both included in this application. All other aspects of the property are in
compliance with the MU Zoning, including pre-existing conditions.
C. Public Infrastructure and Facilities. The proposed development shall upgrade public
infrastructure and facilities necessary to serve the project. Improvements shall be at the sole costs
of the developer. Public infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, water supply, sewage
treatment, energy and communication utilities, drainage control, fire and police protection, solid
waste disposal, parking and road and transit services.
Response – The property is currently served with a full complement of public
infrastructure and facilities and no additional development is proposed with this
change-in-use application. No utility deficiencies are known.
D. Affordable Housing Mitigation.
1) For commercial development, sixty-five percent (65%) of the employees generated by the
additional commercial net leasable space, according to Section 26.470.050.B, Employee
generation rates, shall be mitigated through the provision of affordable housing.
2) For lodge development, sixty-five percent (65%) of the employees generated by the additional
lodge pillows, according to Section 26.470.050.B, Employee generation rates, shall be mitigated
through the provision of affordable housing. For the redevelopment or expansion of existing lodge
uses, see section 26.470.100.H.
66
Exhibit 1
Review Criteria
page 9
3) For the redevelopment of existing commercial net leasable space that did not previously
mitigate (see Section 26.470.070.F), the mitigation requirements for affordable housing shall be
phased at 15% beginning in 2017, and by 3% each year thereafter until 65% is reached, as
follows: [chart not shown]
Response to 1-3 – Not applicable. No commercial or lodging component is
proposed.
4) Unless otherwise exempted in this chapter, when a change in use between development
categories is proposed, the employee mitigation shall be based on the use the development is
converting to. For instance, if a commercial space is being converted to lodge units, the mitigation
shall be based on the requirements for lodge space, outlined in subsection 2, above. Conversely,
if lodge units are being converted to commercial space, the mitigation shall be based on the
requirements for commercial space, outlined in subsections 1 and 3, above.
Response – The 616 building is being converted from commercial to residential.
There is a net decrease in the number of employees generated by the residential
use as compared with the commercial use. The commercial generation is
approximately 4 FTEs. (832 sf net leasable x 3.6/1000 = 3 FTEs). The application
represents a net decrease in employee generation. Without prejudicing an
argument that a net decrease in employee generation should not require additional
mitigation, the residential mitigation calculation is provided below.
5) For free-market residential development, affordable housing net livable area shall be provided
in an amount equal to at least thirty percent (30%) of the additional free-market residential net
livable area.
Response – The Floor Area of the 616 building is 912 sf with a net livable
measurement of 832 sf. 30% equals a requirement to provide 249.6 sf of
affordable housing. Using the City’s conversion rate of one FTE per 400 sf of net
livable area, stated in Section 26.470.050.F, this requirement translates to .63
FTEs.
832 x 30% = 249.6
249.6 / 400 = .624
However, this 30% factor does not appear to be proportional to the actual
employee generation impacts of residential use. The City of Aspen commissioned
a study of employee generation of residential use. Based on the study performed
by RRC Associates in 2015, employee generation of residential use is .16 FTEs
per 1,000sf of residential Floor Area. Using the residential rate, this home
generates .15 FTEs.
912/1,000 x 0.16 = 0.1459
Moreover, the assessment of any affordable housing impact fee on this change-in-
use does not appear to be related to an actual impact to the community. The
67
Exhibit 1
Review Criteria
page 10
commercial space currently generates employees. Using the City’s employee
generation rates stated in Section 26.470.050 of the Land Use Code, 3.6 full time
equivalent employees are generated per 1,000 square feet of net leasable area.
This 832 square foot space generates 3 employees (832/1000 x 3.6 = 2.995). The
conversion from commercial to residential therefore represents a lessening of
employee generation, and a lessening of impacts on the community, by 2.38 to
2.85 employees. This lowering of employee generation lowers the necessity for
affordable housing in the community and should therefore be exempt from
providing additional mitigation and be exempt from paying an impact fee.
The application is responsive to the criteria for this change-in-use. The applicant
reserves its right to pursue an outright exemption to the affordable housing impact
fee based on the fact presented above.
6) For essential public facility development, mitigation shall be determined based on Section
26.470.110.D.
Response to 1-3 – Not applicable. No public facilities are proposed.
7) For all affordable housing units that are being provided as mitigation pursuant to this chapter
or for the creation of a Certificate of Affordable Housing Credit pursuant to Chapter 26.540, or for
any other reason:
a. The proposed units comply with the Guidelines of the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing
Authority, as amended.
Response – Not applicable. No affordable housing units are proposed.
b. Required affordable housing may be provided through a mix of methods outlined in this
chapter, including newly built units, buy down units, certificates of affordable housing
credit, or cash-in-lieu.
Response – The required housing mitigation will be provided through the
provision of affordable housing credits.
c. Affordable housing that is in the form of newly built units or buy-down units shall be
located on the same parcel as the proposed development or located off-site within the
City limits. Units outside the City limits may be accepted as mitigation by the City
Council, pursuant to Section 26.470.110.B. When off-site units within City limits are
proposed, all requisite approvals shall be obtained prior to approval of the growth
management application.
Response – Not applicable. No affordable housing units are proposed.

CERTIFICATE OF MEASUREMENT
Property: 616 West Main St.
Aspen, Colorado 81611
The undersigned hereby certifies that we have measured the property described above,
on January 23, 2020 and our findings are as follows:
Finished Heated Livable Area: 832 square feet (ANSI)
The above findings have been calculated in accordance to the guidelines for the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI), applicable to the City of Aspen, County of Pitkin, State of Colorado. The
on-site/as built calculation for finished square footage is for a condominium residence. The square footage
total has been calculated with interior wall dimensions only, which are heated, sheet rocked, and which are
considered finished space.
True Dimensions has exercised its best efforts to perform an on-site/as built measurement of the
property as accurately as possible. It is understood however that there can be some uncertainty with respect to
the accuracy of any square footage measurement due to variations in finished surfaces as well as interior and
exterior wall construction, as well as other factors.
