Zoning Compliance Verification Policy
Applicability: All development projects must comply with the City's 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 City's 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 City's 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:
o 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.
o 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.

❑ 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, singles, or other veneer treatments or
ornamentation), and the location and dimension of each observed measurement. Additional
roof plans showing location of measurements may be necessary.
❑ Plans and elevations must include height or setback exemption items unique to the building,
such as stair/elevator overruns, utility/mechanical apparatus, hot tubs and spas, and other
height or setback exemption items unique to the project.
u The report shall include a written description or drawing notes of the benchmarks or control
points used to establish property boundaries, setbacks, building location, building height,
and grades for each measurement.
L All drawings must correlate with the building locations, elevations, and grading/drainage
representations in the approved building permit set.
The report must include the signature, date, and stamp of Colorado Professional Land
Surveyor who conducted the field measurements certifying that the field measurements are
accurately represented.
Review and Acceptance of Report. The Zoning Officer shall review the report(s) and either
confirm the project conforms to the dimensions shown on the zoning sheets of the approved
building permit plan set and meets the zoning limitations for the property or shall determine
which elements of the project are not in compliance. The Zoning Officer may request additional
information to verify zoning compliance, which may include but is not limited to additional survey
work or a site visit.
All drawings of the survey report must correlate with representations in the approved building
permit set for acceptance. Modifications to field conditions or amendments to the building permit
may be required.
A determination of non-compliance shall result in the issuance of a correction notice and possible
work stoppage. Applicants are encouraged to verify zoning compliance as early as reasonably
practical in the construction process to minimize disruption to the construction schedule.
