PLANNING OFFICE REVIEW: The L-3 zone provides for a "restaurant included within a lodge operation serving guests and others" as a conditional use. When this provision was included in the L-3 zone, concern was expressed for the impacts that a restaurant open to the public might have on the surround- ing neighborhood. Discussion centered on noise, traffic and parking impacts. The Fireside Lodge is located at the corner of First and Cooper Streets. Duplex and multi -family structures are on three sides of the property, a vacant parcel is the entire block facing the lodge on the south and the Ice Garden is on the northwest corner diagonally from this location. Section 24-3.3 of the Municipal Code sets criteria under which the Planning and Zoning Commission should determine the suitability of the conditional use as: "(1) Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with all require- ments imposed by the zoning code; (2) Whether the proposed use is consistent with the objectives and purposes of this zoning code and the applicable zoning district; and (3) If the proposed use is designed to be compatible with surround- ing land uses and uses in the area." As mentioned earlier, it was anticipated during the formation of the L-3 zone that L-3 lodges might want to incorporate restaurant facili- ties. If the facility is to be open to the public, the traffic, parking, lighting and noise impacts on the surrounding neighborhood must be considered. The restaurant proposed in the Fireside will utilize a downstairs space which accommodates 60-65 diners and has been used as a restaurant for over twenty years. The restaurant has been out of operation for approximately three years and therefore a use permit is needed to restart the operation. Music will be provided through a taped system and no live entertainment is proposed. Since this space is located in the lodge, the applicant recognizes that the noise level must be maintained at a degree which is not objectionable to guests. The kitchen will be used for the restaurant and for the preparation of breakfast for lodge guests. Hours of operation will begin with apres-ski from 3:30-6:00 P.M. in the Fireside Lounge, dinner will be served from 6:00-10: 00 P.M. and the bar will be open from 10 : 00 - 2: 00 A.M. for cocktails. No new • 0 signage or lighting is proposed for the exterior of the building. The parking available at the Lodge consists of approximately four spaces in the front, six in the back and on -street parking. Since the entire block facing the Fireside is vacant, cars could park on the street without being an inconvenience to residents. The Fireside also has a drive -through area and entrance canopy where people going to dinner can be dropped off and picked up. The Fireside is about three to five blocks from the lifts and downtown. It is anticipated that many guests at the lodge would not bring cars and many guests coming for dinner would utilize cab service. Even if twenty to thirty cars were parking at the lodge and on the street, the relatively light traffic on these streets and multi -family character of this neighborhood should be compatible with this use. PLANNING OFFICE RECOMMENDiATION: The Planning Office recommends approval of Conditional Use Review and the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a restaurant in the Fireside Lodge with the conditions of the Environmental Health Office (attached memo of 10/21/84) being met prior to opening. 61 j CASELOAD SUMMARY SHEET City of Aspen �-ry 4��. 1/ n PROJECT NAME: CASE NO. p331AI W. � (,�l STAFF: `-'� t- 0— APPLICANT: V ��✓ >�/� Phone: REPRESENTATIVE: Phone: TYPE OF APPLICATION: (FEE) I.

LEC/co/AquitaineRestaurant 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 MEMORANDUM TO: Colette Penne, Planning Office FROM: Chuck Roth, City Engineer Department 7Z DATE: October 18, 1984 RE: Aquitaine Restaurant Conditional Use -------------------------------------------------------- Having reviewed the above application, the Engineering Department has the following comments: 1. The supply of utilities and fire protection to this site are not a problem. 2. There are no legal provisions for requiring off- street parking. The previous 20 years of restaurant operation at the site, clientele will have to find parking where they can. 3. The Environmental Health Office should be consulted for requirements such as grease trap and/or air pollution matters. CR/co 1 r db To Whom It May Concern, October 5,1984 The Aquitaine is to be a full -service restaurant and bar specializing in exotic seafood. The seating capacity is between 60-65. We plan to be open 6-7 days a week; 7-9 months a year. The hours of operation will be 3:30 P.M. to 2:OOA.M. weekdays; and 3:30 P.M. to Midnight Sundays. During the winter, apres-ski from 3:30 to 6:00 P.M. in the Fireside lounge; Dinner from 6:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. and the bar will remain available for cocktails until closing. There is a taped music system presently in place and there are no plans for live entertainment. Located at First and Cooper St, approximately three blocks from the center of town, the restaurant is easily within walking distance of tourists staying in condos and lodges, therefore not needing parking. People driving from distances such as Snowmass, should easily find parking on the street and not creat an inconvenience for area residents. Since the restaurant is situated in the Fireside Lodge, we are very aware of maintaining the noise at a respectable level and this shall remain a serious consideration for the duration of the lease. With the exception of the hanging sign in front of the lodge, and the sign on the doorway, no exterior changes will be made. It should be noted that until approximately three years ago, this location had been a working restaurant for well over twenty years. At the present time, it is being used for storage and to cook breakfast for any lodge guests. Our arrangement with the owners of the lodge allows for the con- tinuation of joint kitchen use. The principles in this operation have all of their pro- fessional lives working in restaurants and are totally qua- lified to undertake this endevour. We thank the Planning and Zoning Board for -,;heir/consideration and assistance.
