ZONING COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION POLICY
CITY OF ASPEN 130 S. GALENA ST | ASPEN, CO 81611
Applicability: All development projects must comply with the City͛s zoning regulations, including height and
location, and are subject to periodic inspection during construction and a final inspection prior to project
completion. When required by the City͛s Zoning Officer, certain development projects within the City of Aspen
shall verify height and/or location compliance through submission of a survey report.
Unless otherwise exempted, all commercial, multi-family, lodging, and mixed-use projects proposed within one
foot of the maximum permissible height or within one foot of allowable setbacks shall verify zoning compliance
through this method.
In addition, the Zoning Officer may require this method be used to verify zoning compliance for single-family/
duplex development or other projects where compliance may be in question. Independent of this policy, all
projects must comply with all applicable zoning limitations.
The Zoning Officer will inform the applicant during building permit review if verification will be required.
However, circumstances may require zoning compliance verification of a project which is already underway.
Timing: Height verification should be accomplished at a point of construction when enough roof structure is in
place to accurately measure the structure yet early enough in the process to still make changes if the structure
is too tall. Location verification should be accomplished at a point of construction when the final exterior of the
structure can be accurately measured in relation to setback requirements. Applicants are encouraged to confer
with the Zoning Officer regarding the timing of zoning compliance verification. Applicants are encouraged to
perform their own verification during construction to ensure the building is progressing to plan, including the
height and location of foundation forms prior to concrete pours.
Survey Report: A Colorado Professional Land Surveyor shall describe and depict the height and location of a
structure compared to the dimensions shown on the zoning sheets of the approved building permit plan set. The
City͛s Zoning Officer can assist in determining which elements of the structure should be measured and if natural
or finished grade should be used.
The report shall include the following information:
1-A brief cover letter with the building permit number, name of the project, name of the owner and general
contractor, with a written description of the measurement methods including date(s) of measurement.
Ϯ-For location verification: A plan drawing showing property boundaries, permitted setbacks, building envelope
(if applicable), location of foundation walls, location of the outermost exterior of each structure (inclusive of all
exterior veneer or other exterior treatments), and the location and dimension of each observed measurement.
ϯ-For height verification: Elevation drawing(s) showing the natural or finished grade of the property, maximum
permitted height, building elevations including the nominal roof form (inclusive of the first layer of exterior
sheathing or weatherproofing membrane but excluding all exterior surface treatments such as shakes, shingles,
or other veneer treatments orornamentation), and the location and dimension of each observed measurement.
Additional roof plans showing location of measurements may be necessary.
