RE: HUBAspen Temporary Use Permit — Public Hearing
557 North Mill Street (continued from June 9, 2014)
Resolution No, Series of 2014.
DATE: June 23, 2014
LAND USE REQUEST:
The Applicant is requesting a three year
temporary use approval to operate a
cooperative workspace for start-up
businesses at 557 North Mill Street.
The Applicant also requests a waiver of the
planning fees for this review, estimated to
be $1,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval.
LOCATION:
557 North Mill Street
APPLICANT:
North Mill Investors, LLC;
Andrew Hecht, Manager.
REPRESENTATIVES:
Michael Edinger, HUBAspen
LEGAL DESCRIPTION:
Metes and bounds. Parcel ID No.
2737.073.00.013 y
SUMMARY:
Michael Edinger has applied for a temporary use approval to operate a business start-up
cooperative at 557 North Mill Street. The property is zoned Service Commercial Industrial,
SCI. The space is currently occupied by the Jewish Chabad under a temporary use approval
granted for the period of construction of their Main Street property.
Cooperative work spaces are an emerging trend in larger cities. The spaces provide basic
facilities and services and allow commercial start-ups to rent on an as -needed or fixed -time
basis. Attached to this memo is an article in this month's ULI magazine describing several
cooperatives.
This approval would permit uses ranging from office, art, craft, design, and manufacturing,
depending upon need and demand. Sales of products or services could also occur. Staff is
assuming the largest demand will be for office -type uses, a use not permitted in SCI zoning.
City Council included a goal in this year's "top ten" focused on business opportunities.
By August 31, 2014 help insure the livability of Aspen for future
generations by identifying strategies to expand business diversity
and enhance business sustainability by reducing business start-
up obstacles.
Properties in the SCI district have experienced low occupancy rates in the past few years.
Staff routinely must deny prospective businesses as the SCI zoning is very narrow in its
allowance. This space, for example, has not housed a conforming use in several decades.
Businesses have operated under temporary use permits (Jewish Chabad, Brewery) or have
been non -conforming office uses (Studio B, Sentient Jet, Stefan Kaelin offices).
This temporary use request fits well with City Council's goal. It will also allow the staff,
Council, and community to "test" this concept of a business incubator with an actual
proprietor. If the concept is not acceptable, the temporary use will expire and a new tenant
will need to comply with the SCI zoning. If the concept is successful, the concept may
continue, be expanded, or may lead to a new approach to SCI and this property.
The landowner has recently discussed the future of the property with City staff. Staff
believes a successful business incubator space, an increased sense of stability for the current
tenants, some modest aesthetic and site improvements, and incorporation of the
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning are potentials. While not part of this temporary use
request, staff sees this cooperative space as a venue to continue the discussion of emerging
commercial concepts and the future of this property. Staff would like to work with the
HUBAspen owners and return to Council at a future work session to discuss this further.
Staff is recommending approval of the temporary use request. Staff suggests a signage
allotment of 6 square feet for HUBAspen with a directory listing individual businesses.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending approval, with conditions.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move approval of Resolution No. , Series of 2014, approving a temporary use for
HUBAspen."

HUBASPEN
WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of the temporary application for occupation of N. Mill Street is to allow the cooperative workspace business HUBAspen to
— operate within the CSI zoning district for a proposed three (3) year period of time. The vision for this business is one shared by city council
members and city staff alike; ushering in and supporting a new generation of young workers in our community. The details of the proposal
are simple and revolve around the allowed usage of commercial business space within the CSI zoning district. This proposal asks only for
permission to occupy a building within this zone district to be used for purposes more currently aligned with the downtown commercial
zoning districts yet not altogether foreign to current operations within the CSI zone.
The building in question is perfectly suited for the needs of HUBAspen and will ultimately add to the vitality of the adjacent buildings and
increase foot traffic. The building has an open floor plan and is already built out creating a perfect environment to foster a cooperative
workspace like HUBAspen. The workspace itself will be diverse and serve any individual needs through a variety of services and workspace
arrangements. Ultimately the hope is to incorporate artists and physical craft space into adjacent spaces. The current owner has been
incredibly generous and forthcoming with help, both financially and in vocal support for this effort. The cooperation of the building owner, the
founders of HUBAspen, and the city staff and council has served as wonderful evidence that this type of business model Is needed in Aspen.
This location is the perfect place to launch its creation.
The physical development of the property would remain interior in nature for the duration of the allowed occupation with the exception of
exterior signage. The development would be tracked and permitted through the city of Aspen building department and would of course
comply with all codes and regulations, Ultimately this space would serve as a platform to engage the community at large as to how this
parcel of land would be developed in the future.
Granting approval of this application for temporary use would allow this space to become an immediate asset to the community as a whole.
The wide ranging support of this project by the public, the private business community, and the local city council and staff serves as a grand
indication of the future success of this project, With that level of enthusiasm behind the effort, the founders of HUBAspen humbly submit this
application to city council, and City of Aspen Community Development staff members for your review. Thank you in advance for your time
and consideration.

HUBASPEN
REQUEST FOR FEE WAIVER
In submitting this application for temporary use we would ask that the $1300 review fee be waived. We respectfully submit this request
based on the simple economic circumstances that surround our project. Our HUBAspen project is still in its infancy and without a space yet
to deploy our business model income is not being generated and as owners, we are providing all funds for the effort out of pocket. We hope
that staff and council, in recognizing the community aspect of our project will see their way clear to granting us this waiver. Thank you very
much for your time and consideration.

COWORKING, IN WHICH SOLO
ENTREPRENEURS, STARTUPS, AND
CORPORATE SMALL TEAMS
INTERACT IN AN OPEN OFFICE
ENVIRONMENT, IS GROWING
EXPONENTIALLY. IN THE PROCESS,
IT MAY TRANSFORM LAND USE AND
DEVELOPMENT.
�X �
IN WASHINGTON D.C.'s CHINATOWN neighbor-
hood, a stately 133-year-old building that once
housed a furniture store has been transformed into
what may be the workspace of the future.
Upstairs, within a sprawling expanse of exposed
brick capped by a high ceiling of exposed steel
1-beams, sunlight floods through windows as rows
of knowledge workers sit at long tables and stare
intently into their computer screens; others labor
at standing desks in glass -enclosed offices along
the periphery or hold phone conferences in special
booths tucked into hallways. Others are chatting in a
kitchen alcove next to a supply of gourmet coffee and
a cooler filled with cucumber -flavored filtered water.
Around the reception area, whimsical furnishings —
including golden lawn -gnome end tables and a
Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots game —further signify the
departure from corporate staidness.
But the salient feature of this office space —one
of more than two dozen buildings in U.S. cities
60 URBAN LAND MAY/DUNE 2014
operated by the New York City —based company
WeWork—is that all its workers do not have the
same employer. Instead, this is a coworking envi-
ronment, where individual tech entrepreneurs may
be sitting alongside professionals such as attorneys
and interior designers. The clientele runs the gamut
from Crowdskout, a tech startup that is building a
data and analytics platform to help publishers and
marketers connect with their audiences, to workers
for the fashion retail website Gilt. It even includes a
traveling magician, Max Major, who uses the space
to manage his business when in town.
For as little as $325 a month for table space to
$3,60o for a six -person enclosed office, WeWork
seems to cater particularly —though not exclusively —
to young members of the millennial generation, who
have grown accustomed to starting and running
their own businesses on a shoestring.
"There's been this generation of people who
came out of the Ivies and elite schools during
the recession when there weren't any jobs," says
WeWork city lead Carl Pierre, age 25. "So they
stayed at home with their parents and started
companies on their living room couches. But now
they've grown and they need to move their compa-
nies into real spaces, but they don't have the capi-
tal or access for conventional commercial space."
Or they may simply prefer a working environment
that, in addition to providing an internet connection
and printing services, offers both a meditation room
and free beer on tap.
Welcome to the world of coworking, a rapidly
growing phenomenon that seems likely to have a
significant impact on both the economy and devel-
opment of urban and suburban. cores where such
spaces tend to be located. Since its beginnings in the
mid-2000s in San Francisco, coworking has spread to
the point where there are probably more than i,000
coworking spaces across the United States, accord-
ing to Steve King of Emergent Research, a Lafayette,
California —based analytical firm, who was one of the
first to study the nascent trend. Deskwanted.com, a
website devoted to coworking, reports it has out-
posts as far away as Japan and Brazil. "It's grown
at a faster pace than anyone had anticipated," King
says. "It's become hard to count them."

Whereas the earliest coworking spaces were
barely a step up from a table at Starbucks, larger
providers have emerged to offer more sophisticated
infrastructure and amenities, from event space and
child care to smartphone apps that notify clients
that their appointments have arrived. Coworking also
has diversified, with a dizzying array of options and
hybrids, ranging from spaces such as San Diego's
Hera Hub, which serves women entrepreneurs,
to buildings that cater to specific industries or to
nonprofits and environment -focused businesses.
And they have grown beyond office work to include
"maker spaces," where tenants may share tools,
industrial machines, or even commercial kitchens.
"The spaces all have their own unique culture and
vibe," King notes. "And they attract people who fit."
But they all provide at least a few of the same
benefits. Coworking spaces, which are usually
based in renovated former industrial or retail build-
ings, have the potential to stimulate local economic

growth by providing employment and by serving as
anchors for development near the buildings. And
because coworking providers tend to pick locations
in or close to mixed -use neighborhoods that are
accessible by walking, biking, or public transit, the
concept is a good fit with the movement for revital-
izing communities.
A Flexible Infrastructure
Most credit the concept of coworking to a software
coder named Brad Neuberg. In 2005, he put up $300
a month to rent a space from a feminist collective in
San Francisco's Mission District, provided card tables
to serve as desks, and then put a notice on Craigslist
to invite others to work alongside him. His goal,
as he later recalled in a blog post, was to find "the
freedom and independence of working for myself
along with the structure and community of working
with others." To his chagrin, no one showed up for
the first month. But eventually other entrepreneurs
trickled in, and within a few years a handful of other
coworking spaces existed with names such as Citizen
Space and Sandbox Suites. They mostly catered to
what a 2008 San Francisco Chronicle article called
"laptop nomads" —freelance graphic designers, writ-
ers, artists, and tech entrepreneurs who had grown
weary of searching for seats in coffee shops with free
wireless internet access.
The economic downturn of the late 20005, which
accelerated the shift toward a free -agent economy,
gave coworking a shot of adrenaline. Among those
who decided to capitalize on the nascent trend
62 URBAN LAND MAY/JUNE 2014

i J C It:,s
was Liz Elam, a former sales executive for Dell, who
founded Austin -based Link Coworking—in part, she
says, because "I wanted to be in a space like this
instead of in the basement with my cat."
These days, coworking's explosive growth has
being driven not by whimsy, Elam says, but by
entrepreneurs who need to be mobile and inde-
pendent and who want to choose where they work.
The phenomenon has mushroomed to the point
where well -established tech hubs such as Austin
may have 40 to 5o such buildings, King says.
At the same time, coworking has fragmented
into subsectors. At the top, outfits such as
WeWork, which builds large urban office spaces
with high -end amenities, and Santa Cruz, Califor-
nia —based NextSpace, which has expanded to
cities such as Chicago and Dallas, have become
dominant. But plenty of opportunity remains for
smaller operations such as Cove, a Washington,
D.C.—based coworking company that rents to cli-
ents by the hour instead of month and builds its
spaces in converted townhouses rather than old
office or industrial buildings in order to give them
a casual, quirky feel, cofounder Adam Segal says.
"We're promoting ourselves as an alternative
to the coffee shop or your living room rather than
as a dedicated office solution," Segal explains.
"You can work here for the price of a latte for a
couple of hours, and we'll give you the coffee."
But beneath the ambience, Cove's decor
is optimized for productivity, Segal says. His
spaces feature seven different kinds of seat-
ing, ranging from couches to standing desks, to
allow workers a change of pace. The spaces also
have commercial -grade printers and internet
access from multiple providers, giving clients
options if one provider experiences an outage.
Locating and Designing a Space
Most providers say location Is a critical aspect of
a successful coworking space, even more so than
it is for traditional corporate office developments.
WeWork, which employs its own in-house real estate
team, focuses on finding buildings that, in addition
to being architecturally distinctive, are close to tran-
sit routes and modestly priced housing. "If you're a
small businessperson in Washington, you'll be living
in Petworth or Columbia Heights," says WeWork's
Pierre. "So we want to be accessible to those neigh-
borhoods." The company also does extensive market
research, which includes sending interviewers to local
bars and other hangouts to talk to residents about a
neighborhood's pluses and minuses.
Whereas urban cores seem like a natural envi-
ronment for coworking, other providers have been
successful in suburban locations. When sisters

a coworking space, the Commons, they settled on
Excelsior, Minnesota, about a 2o-minute drive from
Minneapolis. "It's a really interesting small town,
with restaurants that people pull their boats up
to and local mom-and-pop retail; there aren't any
chains or franchises," Stefan says.
That might not be the most attractive neighbor-
hood for millennial laptop nomads, but it is a prime
location for what Magney and Stefan saw as an
underserved market —middle-aged professionals
and regional executives for big companies who
needed a place to work when they were not on
the road. "We have a Realtor, a medical insurance
broker, a general contractor, four architects, and a
person who does background checks," Stefan says.
Magney, an architect who spent 30 years
designing schools, supervised the conversion of
what had been a bicycle repair workshop. Rather
than put up new walls or barriers, she painted the
existing walls different colors and arranged the
furniture to create zones within the space, plus
installed a white -noise system to muffle sound, For
a common area where workers could interact, she
created a library space filled with reference books
as well as samples of products that manufacturers
provided in hopes that the space's users might pur-
chase them. She managed to complete the project
for the modest cost of $26 per square foot ($28o
per sq m).
64 URBAN LAND MAY/JUNE 2014
The couches in WeWork's office space preserve
some of the casual atmosphere that clients
find when working at home.
In Austin, Elam, who operates
two coworking spaces in addition
to consulting for other providers,
has a different formula that is tai.
lored to sun -drenched, car -depen-
dent Texas. She looks for first -floor
locations on streets bookended by
major thoroughfares and providing
ample parking and covered out-
door seating. "But I always look
for proximity to retail and restau.
rants, close to where people live,"
she adds. "I like being out on the
edge rather than at the city core."
But coworking spaces also have the potential
to be anchors that attract development nearby —
restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers that set up
shop to cater to the infusion of office workers. Elam,
who developed one of her coworking spaces in a
shopping center, notes, "When I signed my lease,
the center was at 20 percent occupancy. Now it's
at go percent. I'd say that we helped that." Simi-
larly, Pierre expects WeWork's new location in the
old Wonder Bread factory in Washington's Shaw
neighborhood to provide economic stimulus there.
"We'll have 55o entrepreneurs working in Shaw," he
says. "It's going to drive more businesses to stay
open during the day and get people to reassess
the neighborhood. When clients come by, they're
going to see it. I think it's one of the coolest neigh-
borhoods —the kind of place where you would find
someone like me on a Friday night."
Coworking is becoming such an attractive option
that big companies such as American Express are
now placing some of their small teams off site in
coworking spaces in order to develop contacts and
potential clients and gather business intelligence.
Other companies, King notes, are redesigning their
offices to feature open spaces that foster more
interaction, in the fashion of coworking.
But everyone seems to agree that coworking is a
trend on the rise. Elam cites a 2013 study by Intuit
that predicts that by 2020 more than 40 percent
of the U.S, workforce —about 6o million people —
will be freelancers, contractors, or temp workers.
"Coworking really dovetails with that," she says.
"It's got nowhere to go but up." UL

WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of the temporary application for occupation of N. Mill Street is to allow the cooperative workspace business HUBAspen to
operate within the CSI zoning district for a proposed three (3) year period of time. The vision for this business is one shared by city council
members and city staff alike; ushering in and supporting a new generation of young workers in our community. The details of the proposal
are simple and revolve around the allowed usage of commercial business space within the CSI zoning district. This proposal asks only for
permission to occupy a building within this zone district to be used for purposes more currently aligned with the downtown commercial
zoning districts yet not altogether foreign to current operations within the CSI zone.
The building in question is perfectly suited for the needs of HUBAspen and will ultimately add to the vitality of the adjacent buildings and
increase foot traffic. The building has an open floor plan and is already built out creating a perfect environment to foster a cooperative
workspace like HUBAspen. The workspace itself will be diverse and serve any individual needs through a variety of services and workspace
arrangements. Ultimately the hope is to incorporate artists and physical craft space into adjacent spaces. The current owner has been
incredibly generous and forthcoming with help, both financially and in vocal support for this effort. The cooperation of the building owner, the
founders of HUBAspen, and the city staff and council has served as wonderful evidence that this type of business model is needed in Aspen.
This location is the perfect place to launch its creation.
The physical development of the property would remain interior in nature for the duration of the allowed occupation with the exception of
exterior signage. The development would be tracked and permitted through the city of Aspen building department and would of course
comply with all codes and regulations. Ultimately this space would serve as a platform to engage the community at large as to how this
parcel of land would be developed in the future.
Granting approval of this application for temporary use would allow this space to become an immediate asset to the community as a whole.
The wide ranging support of this project by the public, the private business community, and the local city council and staff serves as a grand
indication of the future success of this project. With that level of enthusiasm behind the effort, the founders of HUBAspen humbly submit this
application to city council, and City of Aspen Community Development staff members for your review. Thank you in advance for your time
and consideration.

Mic dinger&WrdoTrBronson - -- - -

REQUEST FOR FEE WAIVER
In submitting this application for temporary use we would ask that the $1300 review fee be waived. We respectfully submit this request
based on the simple economic circumstances that surround our project. Our HUBAspen project is still in its infancy and without a space yet
to deploy our business model income is not being generated and as owners, we are providing all funds for the effort out of pocket. We hope
that staff and council, in recognizing the community aspect of our project will see their way clear to granting us this waiver. Thank you very
much for your time and consideration.

Michael Edinger & Gordon Bronson
