REQUEST OF CITY COUNCIL: The Applicant is requesting the following land use approvals to
redevelop the existing lodge:
• Consolidated PUD Review (Chapter 26.445, Planned Unit Development) to establish
dimensional requirements. City Council is the final review authority.
• Subdivision Review (Chapter 26.480, Subdivision) for a mixed use project to divide legal
interests. City Council is the final review authority.
• Rezoning Review (Chapter 26.310, Amendment to the Official Zone District Map) to
adopt the PUD and to clean up the zoning of the back portion of the lot. City Council is
the final review authority.
• Fee Waiver (Chapter 26.610.100 Waiver of Fees) to waive the Transportation Demand
Management/Air Quality fee and the Parks Development Fee. City Council is the final
review authority.
The applicant presented changes to the project during the public hearing on March 10th. These
changes addressed Council’s concerns about the size and compatibility of the free market
residential component of the project. The free market residential unit, the “westerly unit”,
located adjacent to the relocated alley and a designated historic Victorian is proposed to be
reduced in height and floor area by removing the third floor and enlarging the subgrade livable
area. As a result, the onsite parking spaces are reduced from 15 spaces to 13 spaces. The
proposed height of 25’ meets the underlying R-6 zone district height requirement. Slight
changes were made to the lodge portion of the project by moving some of the third floor massing
toward Main Street. The proposed numbers are below.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that the applicant has addressed some of Council’s
concerns related to the Bleeker Street façade by removing the third floor of one of the free
market residential units and increasing the basement space. Staff appreciates that the applicant
has been willing to work with Council to address their concerns while balancing the viability of
the project. The main concern that Staff has voiced at all of the meetings is the overall floor area
proposed for the site (now 36,350 reduced from 36,500), and specifically the impact of the
massing on the Bleeker Street neighborhood. The applicant has successfully reduced one of the
residences to meet the underlying R-6 zone district height requirements and to better relate to the
context of the neighborhood.
Option 1) Staff feels comfortable that the review criteria for PUD are met if the middle unit was
also reduced in height. Staff can support maintaining the 26’9” – 31’ height of the corner
residential unit due to the height of the multifamily residential building across Garmisch Street.
Option 2) Another option for the middle residential unit is to lower the gable to 25’ at Bleeker
Street for the front half the length of the building with the ability to step up to 31’ for the rear
half of the building (31’ is the max height for the flat roof of the corner residential unit at the
rear). Staff finds that a third floor at the rear of the middle unit allows the building to be
perceived as a two story building along the street and at the same time permits the applicant to
maintain a portion of a third floor. The mass would be setback 27’ (1/2 of the proposed 54’
building length) and pushed toward the hotel. Option 2 proposes a way to balance the trade-offs
for the overall project without negatively impacting the neighborhood. Should Council decide to
approve Option 2, Staff recommends that HPC address the roof forms during Final Design
Review.
Staff finds that this is a good project that will benefit the community by updating a lodge and
providing 9 new lodge units. It is challenging to balance the trade-offs of the proposed
redevelopment and the impacts on neighborhood context. It would be very unfortunate if the
application fails because of a height difference of a few feet (R-6 requires 25’ and the proposal is
for 26’9” along Bleeker Street and 31’ at the rear of the residences). On the other hand, it would
be equally unfortunate if the 3 story residential units negatively impact the neighborhood.
The applicant requests fee waivers as described below on page 13 of the Staff memo.
Staff is supportive of either Option 1 or Option 2 and finds that the PUD review criteria
are met in both options.

Staff Memo

Page 4 of 15
Following is the Staff memo from the previous public hearings:
CHANGES FROM SECOND READING ON 1/13/14
The applicant has responded to Council’s concerns about the overall size of the project and the
neighborhood context along Bleeker Street by reducing the number of free market residential
units from 4 to 3 and breaking up the proposed 2 duplex buildings into 3 separate single family
homes. The architecture of the 3 single family homes is more aligned with the residential
character on Bleeker Street in form and site placement. Gable roofs are proposed and the height
was reduced from 32’ to 26’9” to the 1/3 point and 31’ for the flat roof portion at the rear of the
building (Mixed Use Zoning allows 28’ – 32’ max, and R6 zoning allows 25’ max). Staff
recommends that the applicant work with HPC during Final design review to potentially lower
the height of the free market residential to 28’ which is the permitted height in the Mixed Use
Zone District and is closer to the maximum height in R6 Zone District. Staff recommends that
HPC address floor to ceiling heights of the free market residential buildings which may result in
a lower height. Staff is supportive of these changes and finds that the project is headed in a
positive direction.
Based on Council feedback, the lodge and affordable housing portions of the project are
unchanged from second reading on January 13th. The floor area numbers proposed in January
have not changed. Reducing the number of free market residential units from 4 to 3 increased
the net livable area for each residential unit from 3,275 sf/ 3,675 sf to about 5,000 sf. The
maximum unit size cap for the Mixed Use Zone District is 2,000 sf.
STAFF COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that the current proposal is responsive to Council’s concerns about the neighborhood
context along Bleeker Street. The residential building form, spacing and gable roof are more
aligned with the existing neighborhood and residential character. Staff remains concerned that
the overall floor area is too big for the property and the neighborhood, and that the sizes of the
free market residential units are too large for the Mixed Use Zone District without the landing of
a TDR. Requiring TDRs is an important component of the TDR program. The net livable unit
sizes are 3,000 sf over the allowable unit size cap in the Mixed Use Zone District.
Even though the Bleeker Street side of the property is zoned R6 with the Lodge Preservation
Overlay, Staff continues to refer to the Mixed Use Zone District net livable size cap because the
R6 Zone District does not require a net livable calculation. For comparison the maximum
allowable floor area for the R6 zoned portion of the lot, allows just less than 4,000 sf of total
floor area that may be split between two dwelling units. The proposed three residences are 3,500
sf of floor area each for a total of 10,500 sf of floor area.
As mentioned above, Staff is supportive of the change in density and general design of the free
market residential component of the project. Staff finds that the proposed floor area and net
livable unit sizes do not meet the review criteria attached as Exhibits A and B. Staff
recommends continuation of the project to reduce the overall floor area.

Should Council decide to approve the proposed project, Staff recommends that Council include a
recommendation to HPC for consideration of the following design items during Final
Commercial Design and Final Major Development review (this is included in the attached draft
ordinance):
1) Floor to ceiling heights shall be equal or taller on the first floor compared to the upper
floors.
2) Front doors for all residences shall face Bleeker Street.
3) A front porch that meets the Residential Design Standards shall be provided on Bleeker
Street for all residences.
4) Reduce the amount of glazing.
5) Restudy the third level “dormer” that breaks the roof plane and creates a large window
spanning between the second and third floor.
The applicant requests fee waivers as described below on page 13 of the Staff memo.
THE FOLLOWING MEMO IS FROM THE 1/13/14 SECOND READING PACKET:
CHANGES FROM FIRST READING:
The applicant requested approval of “round” numbers for floor area and net livable/net leasable
to provide a little float square footage in case there were discrepancies during the building permit
review. The applicant has changed the numbers to remove the padding and to propose an
increase to the lodge floor area to account for a covered third floor corridor. According to the
applicant, the overall cumulative floor area remains the same due to reductions in the non-unit
space calculations. Updated floor plans and elevations are not provided – the applicant states
that the changes are interior only and do not affect the building mass.
COUNCIL QUESTIONS DURING FIRST READING:
1. What type of neighborhood outreach was conducted?
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting in accordance with the requirements of the
Land Use Code prior to the first HPC public hearing.
2. What public comments have been received to date?
During the HPC meeting on February 13th, Julie Ann Steele, a neighbor who lives at 121
Bleeker Street, commented that “…we are being swallowed up by this three story
building. I realize they have to sell the townhouses to make this project viable but it will
devalue our property.” At the HPC meeting on April 24th Ed Wolkenmuth, who lives in a
historic 1888 home on Bleeker Street, stated “I fully support what I see on Main Street.
Looking down Bleeker there are a lot of Victorians. The massing in the R-6 zoning is
unbearable and overwhelming. If you are on Garmisch things look normal but if you turn
the corner and look down Bleeker this massing is tremendous.” Julie Anna Steele also
spoke at the April HPC meeting “her concern is that the gables have increased the height
P5

110 W. Main Street – Hotel Aspen
Staff Memo
3/17/14
Page 6 of 15
to 37 feet…we came here because of the massing issue…This is a huge issue and this is
the R-6 zone.”
During the P&Z hearing on October 15th Steve Garcia (meeting minutes included as
Exhibit H), who lives at the Victorians of Bleeker, spoke in favor of the project. He said
that he “likes the lodge and would like to see it redeveloped.” He states their concerns
are the impact to the neighborhood during construction and possible on-street parking
issues. Garcia mentioned concerns about the design of the project: “the area is mostly
Victorian with the exception of this project…they are excited that the free market units
will drive up the value of their free market units.” The last concern was regarding the old
pine tree that will need to be removed for the townhomes. Garcia also attended the
November P&Z hearing.
3. Provide justification for the requested variances.
To date, the applicant has not provided Staff with an explanation regarding the requested
floor area and net livable area variances.
4. What is the allowable floor area for the property if it was entirely free market
multifamily development?
The Mixed Use zone district portion of the property (about 13, 500 sf) along Main Street
is permitted 6,750 sf of floor area (0.5:1) for free market residential development with the
ability to increase to 10,125 sf of floor area (0.75:1) if affordable housing equal to 100%
of the free market residential floor area developed on the parcel.
The R-6 zone district portion of the property (about 13,500 sf) along Bleeker Street is
permitted 3,930 sf of floor area. The Lodge Preservation overlay zone district permits
multifamily residential based on the single family residential floor area of the underlying
zoning.
5. Explain how the free market residential and the lodge floor area/net livable
numbers interrelate.
The allowable free market multi-family housing is calculated based on the allowances in
the Lodge Zone District which provides more free market residential floor area for
smaller average lodge room sizes. The average lodge room size proposed is 300 sf net
livable which provides for a free market residential floor area equivalent to 60% of the
total lodge unit and affordable housing net livable area. The applicant proposes 17,365 sf
of net livable area for lodge and affordable housing; therefore 10,419 sf of floor area is
allowed for free market multi-family residential.
The philosophy is based on incentivizing smaller lodge rooms by allowing more free
market residential to offset costs. The floor area for free market residential is calculated
based on the net livable of both the lodge units and the affordable housing units. Using
net livable area takes into account the actual heated area of the lodge units and affordable
housing units rather than basing the allowable free market residential calculation on non-
unit lodging space such as hallways, spas, lounges, etc. The percentage of free market
P6

residential is translated to floor area rather than net livable area because residential floor
area can qualify for certain exemptions such as basement space, garages, etc.
BACKGROUND:
110 W. Main Street is a 27,000 square foot lot developed as a small lodge, Hotel Aspen.
According to the application, the lodge is about 21,344 square feet (sf) of floor area. The
property spans from Main Street to
Bleeker Street and encompasses a vacated
alley. The south half of the property is
located in the Main Street Historic
District and is zoned MU Mixed Use.
The north half of the property is located
in the West End neighborhood and is
zoned R-6 Residential. It was remodeled,
expanded, condominiumized and
converted from the Nugget Lodge to the
Hotel Aspen in the 1980s. In 1997, the
entire property was rezoned with the
Lodge Preservation Overlay (LP).
The Lodge Preservation Overlay allows
some additional development options and
flexibility for Aspen’s traditional small lodges, many of which have historically been located in
residential neighborhoods. The overlay allows all dimensional requirements, including floor
area and height, to be approved on a case by case basis through the planned unit development
(PUD) process.

PREVIOUS APPROVALS:
Historic Preservation Commission: Because the project is partially located within the Main
Street Historic District, HPC conducted Conceptual design reviews prior to the
PUD/Subdivision/Rezoning application. Recognizing that the PUD/Subdivision/Rezoning
Reviews overlap with conceptual design reviews, HPC was asked to focus their review on
overall issues of architecture and compatibility with the surrounding area. After PUD,
Subdivision, Rezoning and GMQS approvals, HPC will hold a Final design review hearing.
HPC held four public hearings on the project, continuing each time for a restudy of the height
and the footprint of the free market residential units along Bleeker Street. In general, there was
little concern expressed with the design of the lodge portion of the development. A major point
of debate was roof forms of the free market residential units regarding both height and
compatibility with the neighborhood. The hotel and the residences were all initially proposed to
have flat roofs. At the March 13th meeting, Staff and HPC members suggested that incorporating
gable roof forms on the residences facing Bleeker Street would be more typical of the streetscape
and would go a long way in helping that aspect of the project relate to context. The applicant
returned to the board on April 24th with this amendment. However, throughout the review, the
members in attendance at each hearing varied and the members who attended on April 24th had
not given the direction to study gable roofs. Instead, they voted in favor of the flat roofed design
that was proposed on March 13th, finding that it reduced the project impact by reducing the
height. The overall height with the pitched roofs was actually taller than the flat roofs. HPC
granted Conceptual Commercial Design and Conceptual Major Development resolution by a
vote of 4-0.
As part of their vote, HPC approved the free market residential units to reach a maximum height
of 32’ where 28’ is allowed through Commercial Design review. HPC does not evaluate the
dimensions of the project; rather the Board focuses on the exterior appearance. Staff did not
include the actual floor area numbers of the project to HPC because floor area was not within
HPC’s purview through Commercial Design Review. Minutes from all four meetings are
attached.
Planning & Zoning Commission: The P & Z heard the project twice: the first hearing was
extensive background and explanation of the project by the applicant, and the second hearing
included staff recommendations. The applicant requested a decision at the second hearing: P &
Z voted 3-1-1 in denial of the project. Detailed minutes are attached.
The majority of P&Z voiced concern over the size and configuration of the free market
residential component of the project and were supportive of the lodge component of the project.
Concerns were raised about parking in the right of way regarding head-in, angled, or parallel
spaces, and providing a possible designated loading zone for the hotel. The proposal to rezone
the R-6 portion of the property to Mixed Use was met with concern about the impacts of the
rezoning on the residential neighborhood along Bleeker Street.

The project is subject to the Land Use Code in place on October 19, 2012 when the
application was submitted/deemed complete for HPC review.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
The proposal before Council is complete demolition of all the existing structures except for a
portion of the current entry lobby, and replacement with new lodge units, affordable housing and
two free market multifamily buildings (in the form of 2 duplexes). The current lodge includes 45
lodge units (average size of 370 sf), a breakfast area, lobby, and 1 affordable housing unit with a
grand total of 21, 344 sf of floor area. The proposal is for the following: 54 lodge units with an
average of 300 sf net livable area, a café/bar area, lobby, 4 free market residential units, and 3
affordable housing units.
The following is proposed for the site:
• 1 lodge/affordable housing building along Main Street.
o 54 lodge units, 300 sf net livable average size, no lock-offs
o Café/bar for lodge guests
o 3 affordable housing units: 1 studio and 2 1-bedroom units
• 2 free market residential duplex buildings along Bleeker Street: total of 4 multi-family
residential units
• Subgrade parking garage accessed from the alley (west elevation)
o 15 parking spaces
• Public amenity area along Main Street.
PUD REVIEW (EXHIBIT A):
The purpose of Planned Unit Development (PUD) designation is to encourage flexibility and
innovation in the development of land which:
A. Promotes the purposes, goals and objectives of the Aspen Area Community Plan.
B. Achieves a more desirable development pattern, a higher quality design and site
planning, a greater variety in the type and character of development and a greater
compatibility with existing and future surrounding land uses than would be possible
through the strict application of the underlying zone district provisions.
C. Preserves natural and man-made site features of historic, cultural or scenic value.
D. Promotes more efficient use of land, public facilities and governmental services.
E. Incorporates an appropriate level of public input to the planning process to ensure
sensitivity to neighborhood and community goals and objectives.
Through the PUD process the applicant requests approval to vary the maximum cumulative floor
area for the entire site, maximum allowable floor area for the lodge use, maximum allowable
floor area for the free market multi-family residential use, the free market multi-family unit size
maximum, and setback requirements as described below.
Floor Area analysis: The maximum cumulative floor area is calculated based on the underlying
zoning – Mixed Use. The allowable lodge and affordable housing floor area is also calculated
based on the underlying zoning. The allowable free market multi-family housing is calculated
P9

110 W. Main Street – Hotel Aspen
Staff Memo

Page 10 of 15
based on the allowances in the Lodge Zone District which provides more free market residential
floor area for smaller average lodge room sizes. The average lodge room size proposed is 300 sf
net livable which provides for a free market residential floor area equivalent to 60% of the total
lodge unit and affordable housing net livable area. The applicant proposes 17,365 sf of net
livable area for lodge and affordable housing; therefore 10,419 sf of floor area is allowed for free
market multi-family residential.

The Planning and Zoning Commission requested a comparison of the FAR of the free market
residential component to a similar size lot in R-6 zone to better understand the relationship
between the proposal and the Bleeker Street neighborhood. There are two scenarios for
comparison:
1) Proposed Free Market Residential lot area: Staff drew an imaginary line from the
property line along Garmisch Street to the rear of the free market residential rear yards to
determine a “lot area” for the purpose of calculating floor area for a similar size lot in the
R-6 zone district. Using this methodology, the lot area is 8,400 sf which permits only a
single family residential home. The lot must be at least 9,000 sf to permit duplex
development. The allowable floor area for a single family home is 3,576 sf. If a duplex
was allowed on this lot size, the floor area would be 3,984 sf.
2) Traditional Residential lot area: Staff drew an imaginary line from the original alley
(since relocated) to Bleeker Street to create a traditional west end lot configuration
resulting in a 12,000 sf lot. Two single family residences are allowed with a total
combined FAR of 4,260 sf.
P10
I.
110 W. Main Street – Hotel Aspen
Staff Memo
3/17/14
Page 11 of 15
In either scenario, the allowable floor area by right for a similar sized lot in R-6 (the underlying
zoning) is around 4,000 – 4,200 sf. The applicant proposes 11,000 sf of floor area for free
market residential use, which is slightly over the allowable floor area under the Lodge
Preservation Overlay Zone District.
Net Livable Analysis: The project proposes to utilize the Code incentive that allows smaller
lodge rooms to develop more free market residential floor area to help drive the lodge
redevelopment. The current Code allows a percentage of the lodge/affordable housing net
livable area to be developed as free market multi-family housing based on average unit size. The
existing lodge has an average unit size of 370 sf of net livable area. The applicant represents an
average unit size of 300 sf of net livable area for the new lodge rooms.
The affordable housing units meet minimum net livable area sizes for the type of unit at
Category 1 or 2 level. The studio unit is 401 sf of net livable area, the two 1-bedroom units are
603 sf and 642 sf of net livable area.
The free market multi-family residential units within the MU zone district have a maximum unit
size cap of 2,000 sf of net livable area with the ability to increase to 2,500 sf of net livable area
with a TDR. The 4 free market multi-family residential units all exceed the maximum unit size
cap and require a variation through the PUD. Two units are proposed to be 3,625 sf of net
livable area and two units are proposed to be 3,275 sf of net livable area. TDRs are not proposed
to be landed.
Setbacks: The applicant requests a reduced sideyard setback along Garmisch Street for the free
market multi-family residential units. The required side yard is 5’ and 0’ is proposed. A front
yard setback variance for the free market multi-family buildings is requested: 9’9” is proposed
and 10’ is required. HPC was supportive of the setback variances.
Height: HPC granted a height increase through Commercial Design Review from 28’ to 32’ for
the free market multi-family buildings. The lodge/affordable housing building is proposed at 28’.
Staff comments: Staff is supportive of the lodge redevelopment and understands that the free
market residential portion of the project is needed to fund the lodge. The requested floor area
increases, net livable increase, and setback reductions may be appropriate; however only with
the condition that the overall architecture and massing of the free market multi-family housing is
compatible with the neighborhood and adjacent landmarks. There is an appropriate balance
that needs to be met between incentivizing lodge redevelopment and preserving the residential
mass and scale of the Bleeker Street neighborhood.
The PUD review criteria require a finding that the mass, bulk, height and architecture is
compatible with the neighborhood and with surrounding historic landmarks. HPC held 4 public
hearings to discuss the mass of the free market residential buildings (they did not have purview
over the proposed floor area numbers for the project) and ultimately decided to support the
project on a conceptual design level. In respect to HPC’s design approval, the Staff discussion
is focused on the proposed variations from the zoning rather than the bulk and mass of the
P11

project which was approved by HPC. Staff does still believe this issue needs more discussion, as
the requested variances for the overall cumulative FAR and the free market residential unit sizes
are significant. A comparison of the free market residential floor area proposed (11,000 sf) to
the free market residential floor area that would be allowed in the R-6 zone district on a same
size lot (3,576 sf) raises questions about compatibility with the surrounding R-6 neighborhood
to the north of the subject property. City Council is asked to make a finding that the
architecture, mass and scale are compatible with the neighborhood in accordance with the PUD
review criteria.
The proposed floor area for the entire site is significantly over the cumulative allowable floor
area which creates challenges regarding compatibility with the neighborhood. In addition, the
free market residential unit sizes (two units at 3,3625 sf and two units at 3,275 sf), which are not
required or proposed to be short-term rentals, are significantly over the maximum cap of 2,000
square feet of net livable area allowed in the zone district. To date, the applicant has not
expressed interest in purchasing Transferrable Development Rights (TDRs) to offset the net
livable variance. The proposed changes from first reading are not significant enough to address
Staff’s concerns. It is challenging to examine the trade-offs of a project that requests these types
of variances without an explanation as to why the variances are needed. Staff cannot support
these variations (maximum cumulative floor area and net livable residential unit size) and, based
on the recommended findings of fact in Exhibit A, recommends continuation for further restudy.
SUBDIVISION (EXHIBIT B):
The applicant requests subdivision, which is required for mixed-use project with multiple
residential units. Exhibit B addresses the review criteria.
Staff comments: In Staff’s opinion the review criteria are met with the exception of criterion
26.480.050.A.1 that requires compatibility with “mix of development in the immediate vicinity of
the parcel in terms of density, height, bulk, architecture…”
REZONING (EXHIBIT C):
The purpose statement of the Lodge Preservation (LP) zone district is as follows:
“…to provide for and to protect small lodge uses on properties historically used
for lodge accommodations, to permit redevelopment of these properties to
accommodate lodge and affordable housing uses, to provide uses accessory and
normally associated with lodge and affordable housing development…to
encourage development which is compatible with the neighborhood and
respective of the manner in which the property has historically operated and to
provide an incentive for upgrading existing lodges on site or onto adjacent
properties.”
The LP zone district offers incentives to redevelop and to preserve the existing small lodges,
which includes flexibility of dimensional requirements through the adoption of a PUD. Floor
area for each use typically refers to the underlying zoning, however for a lodging project the LP
district allows the amount of free market residential floor area to be established pursuant to the
P12
I.
110 W. Main Street – Hotel Aspen
Staff Memo

Lodge zone district as an incentive for redevelopment. The Lodge zone district relates the
amount of free market residential floor area to the size of the lodge units – the smaller the lodge
units, the more free market residential floor area permitted.
LP overlay zoning is scattered throughout town and is typically found on small lodge properties
such as the Boomerang Lodge, Christiana Lodge, St. Moritz Lodge, Hearthstone House, Hotel
Lenado and Molly Gibson to name a few.
Currently the property is zoned Mixed Use (MU) along Main Street and Medium Density
Residential (R-6) zone district along Bleeker Street. The Lodge Preservation Overlay (LP) zone
district encompasses the entire property. While the MU zone district allows lodge and multi-
family free market residential as permitted uses, neither are allowed in the R-6 zone district. The
LP overlay permits lodge and multi-family free market residential uses, defines floor area
allowances for a lodge project, and allows the adoption of a PUD to define dimensional
requirements.
Rezoning the rear parcel to MU, so that the entire property has one underlying zone district,
simplifies the underlying zoning. With the current development and the proposed development,
the R-6 zone district does not play a very active role as an underlying zone district since the
proposal is for a mixed use development that is not permitted in R-6. Rezoning to MU does not
permit more development on the parcel since the property is pursuing a PUD that will define
dimensional standards. Staff has calculated the allowances in the MU district as the underlying
zone for comparison since R-6 does not have dimensional requirements for the proposed uses.
Furthermore, the free market residential component of the project is tied to the lodging
component because the development is considered one project and the amount of free market
residential is determined by the size of the lodge units.
The project requires rezoning to adopt the PUD designation. Staff suggests that the entire
property be rezoned to Mixed Use Zone District with the Lodge Preservation overlay to simplify
the underlying zoning by removing the R-6 designation. Exhibit C addresses the review criteria.
Staff comment: Rezoning the entire parcel to Mixed Use/ Lodge Preservation Overlay, does not
significantly impact the allowed uses on the parcel. Staff finds that the review criteria are met to
rezone the parcel to Mixed Use/Lodge Preservation Overlay.
FEE WAIVERS: The applicant requests waiver of the Parks Development fee and the
Transportation Demand Management/Air Quality fee. The Land Use Code authorizes Council to
waive or to reduce impact fees as an economic incentive for lodging developments.
Parks Development Fee ($5.45/new sf of floor area):
Proposed floor area 36,500 – existing floor area 21,344 = 15,156 sf new floor area
Total Parks Development Fee requested waiver: (15,156 * $5.45) = $82,600.20
Transportation Demand Management/ Air Quality Fee ($0.61/ new sf of floor area)

Proposed floor area 36,500 – existing floor area 21,344 = 15,156 sf new floor area
Total TDM/Air Quality Fee requested waiver: (15,156 * $0.61) = $9,245.16
Grand total of waivers requested: $91,845.36
Staff comment: The Parks Department does not support the requested waiver for Park
Development Fees because “the development includes improvements to the City’s right of way
and an increase in lodging and free market space. Both of which will add impacts to public park
space requiring additional financial maintenance responsibilities.”
The Transportation Department does not support the requested waiver for TDM/ Air Quality
Impact Fees because “this type of development typically increases transit usage, thus requiring
additional fleet/facility maintenance and replacement responsibilities.”
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council continue the hearing with direction for the applicant to
reduce the net livable size of the free market residential units and reduce the overall cumulative
floor area proposed for the site.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to continue Ordinance No. 51, Series of 2013 for a restudy of the free market residential
units and overall cumulative floor area to better relate to the neighborhood.”

Minimum off-street parking spaces 13 subgrade parking spaces
The maximum affordable housing floor area may be increased through growth
management reviews with the condition that both the maximum cumulative floor area is
not increased and the lodge floor area is not changed.
Pursuant to Aspen Land Use Code Section 26.710.090.D.11(a)(5), as shown below, the
allowable free market multi-family housing floor area is calculated based on the
allowances in the Lodge Zone District which provides more free market residential floor
area for smaller average lodge room sizes. The average lodge room size proposed is 300
sf net livable area which provides for a free market residential floor area equivalent to
60% of the total lodge unit and affordable housing net livable area. The applicant
proposes approximately 17,847 sf of net livable area for lodge and affordable housing;
therefore 10,708 sf of floor area is allowed for free market multi-family residential.
The average individual lodge unit size is not permitted to be increased above 300 sf of net
livable area without reducing the free market residential floor area allowed on the
property in accordance with the chart below.

300 square feet or less 60%
When the average lodge unit size falls between the square footage
categories, the allowable free-market multi-family or large
lodge/timeshare unit floor area shall be determined by interpreting the
above schedule proportionately. For example, a lodge project with an
average unit size of 450 square feet shall be allowed to develop a free-
market residential floor area up to 45% of the total lodge unit net livable
area.
This percentage of free-market residential FAR may not be otherwise
established for a project through a planned unit development review.
All non-unit space attributable to free-market residential or large
lodge/timeshare units shall count towards the individual FAR allowance
for free-market residential or large lodge/timeshare units.
Section 6: Engineering
The Applicant’s design shall be compliant with all sections of the City of Aspen
Municipal Code, Title 21 and all construction and excavation standards published by the
Engineering Department.
Drainage: The project shall meet the Urban Runoff Management Plan
Requirements. A compliant drainage plan must be submitted with a building permit
application. This includes detaining and providing water quality for the entire site. If the
site chooses fee-in-lieu of detention (FIL), it can only be applied to existing impervious
areas. All new impervious areas will need to discharge at historic rates.
Sidewalk/Curb/Gutter: All sidewalk curb and gutter shall meet the Engineering
Standards of City of Aspen Municipal Code Title 21. The sidewalk shall be detached
parallel to Garmisch Street.
Excavation Stabilization: Due to the proximity of the neighboring property and
the excavation of the building, an excavation stabilization plan shall be submitted to the
Engineering Department prior to building permit submittal.
CMP: The Construction Management Plan shall describe mitigation for: parking,
staging/encroachments, and truck traffic. The outbound bus land shall not be impacted
by the proposed CMP. The adjacent bus stop shall not be impacted by the proposed
CMP.
On-street parking: All on street parking shall be parallel parking spaces in
accordance with the Engineering Standards unless otherwise approved by the
Engineering and Parking Departments. A minimum of two signed “loading zone” parking
space for hotel guests is permitted with approval from the Parking Department.

Section 7: Affordable Housing
The project is required to mitigate for affordable housing and shall submit an application
for growth management review pursuant to the Aspen Land Use Code after receiving
PUD approval by City Council. The representations made in the PUD application do not
constitute approval of affordable housing.
Section 8: Environmental Health
The trash enclosure area is approved with the condition that one of the following options
is met:
Option 1): The transformer is either not required or is located somewhere else on
the property, not inside the trash enclosure; or
Option 2): The transformer remains inside the trash enclosure and the Hotel
Aspen agrees to not use a trash compactor (a permanent structure) and instead
uses a 2 yard trash bin (moveable), leaving more room for recycle bins. The
lodge shall have at a minimum 4 recycle bins.
Section 9: Fire Mitigation
This project shall meet all of the codes and requirements of the Aspen Fire Protection
District. This includes, but is not limited to, Fire Department Access (International Fire
Code 2009 Edition Section 503), and the installation of approved fire sprinkler and fire
alarm systems (IFC 2009 Sections 903 and 907 as amended).
Section 10: Utilities
This project shall meet all applicable standards in the City of Aspen Municipal Code,
specifically Title 25. Individual buildings shall have individual taps. The transformer
shall be located on the subject property.
Section 11: Sanitation District Requirements
Service is contingent upon compliance with the District’s rules, regulations, and
specifications, which are on file at the District office.
ACSD shall review the approved Drainage plans to assure that clear water connections
(roof, foundation, perimeter, patio drains) are not connected to the sanitary sewer system.
On-site utility plans require approval by ACSD. Oil and Sand separators are required for
parking garages and vehicle maintenance establishments. Driveway entrance drains must
drain to drywells. Elevator shafts drains must flow thru o/s interceptor
The applicant shall relocate the existing Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District owned
main sanitary sewer line that currently runs through the middle of Block 58 at the
applicant’s expense and in a manner that is acceptable to the District. Old service lines
must be excavated and abandoned at the main sanitary sewer line according to specific
ACSD requirements.
Below grade development may require installation of a pumping system. One tap is
allowed for each building. Shared service line agreements may be required where more
than one unit is served by a single service line.

Page 7 of 8
Permanent improvements are prohibited in sewer easements or right of ways.
Landscaping plans will require approval by ACSD where soft and hard landscaping may
impact public ROW or easements to be dedicated to the district.
Where additional development would produce flows that would exceed the planned
reserve capacity of the existing system (collection system and or treatment system) an
additional proportionate fee shall be assessed to eliminate the downstream collection
system or treatment capacity constraint. Additional proportionate fees would be collected
over time from all development in the area of concern in order to fund the improvements
needed.
Where additional development would produce flows that would overwhelm the planned
capacity of the existing collection system and or treatment facility, the development will
be assessed fees to cover the costs of replacing the entire portion of the system that would
be overwhelmed. The District would fund the costs of constructing reserve capacity in the
area of concern (only for the material cost difference for larger line).
A “Line Extension Request” and a “Collection System Agreement” are required for this
application. The glycol heating and snow melt system must be designed to prohibit and
discharge of glycol to any portion of the public and private sanitary sewer system. The
glycol storage areas must have approved containment facilities.
