PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE SUMMARY
DATE: January 26, 2021
PLANNER: Garrett Larimer, 970-319-6950
PROJECT NAME AND ADDRESS: 320 N 7th St.- RDS Alternative Compliance
REPRESENTATIVE: Cody Gabaldon, 1-of-1 Workshop
DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Residential Design Standard variation for a remodel and addition to an
existing single-family residence at 320 N 7th St. This property is located in the Aspen Infill Area and is zoned R-6.
The proposed design requires a variation to one flexible standard:
- One-Story Element (Section 26.410.030.B.4, - Flexible)
The Residential Design Standards code section provides direction for reviewing variations to the standards when the
proposed design does not meet the standard. Per Code Section 26.410.020, if an application is found to be
inconsistent with any of the Flexible Standards, those standards can be reviewed for Alternative Compliance by
the Community Development Director. The administrative review will determine if the design meets the overall
intent of the standard as well as the general intent statements in Section 26.410.010.A.1-3.
Please include written responses or graphics that demonstrate how the design meets the intent statement of the
standard and general intent statements in Section 26.410.010.A.1-3.
An initial administrative review of the proposed design has been completed for the other RDS standards. The design
appears to comply with the remaining RDS requirements.
Once the application is ready to be submitted, please email the completed application packet to Garrett Larimer at
garrett.larimer@cityofaspen.com. Once the application is deemed complete, we will contact you to provide payment
for the land use application fee.
