A. Insubstantial Amendments. An insubstantial amendment to an approved Project Review or an approved Detailed Review may be authorized by the Community Development Director. An insubstantial amendment shall meet the following criteria: 1. The request does not change the use or character of the development. Staff Response: The proposed changes do not change the use or character of the development. The proposed request includes changes to the Club Units floor area and bedroom allocation, changes to the parking layout, relocation of two site walls, and revised square footage allocations to deck and landscape areas around the pool. Staff finds this criterion is met. 2. The request is consistent with the conditions and representations in the project's original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Staff Response: The request submitted by the applicant is consistent with the approvals and is an insubstantial change. The proposed Club Unit floor area fits well within the allowable dimensions for the project. Bedroom count is staying the same on the project. One unit (Unit 19) will become a 3-bedroom and the other unit (Unit 20) will become a 5-bedroom instead of two 4-bedroom units. Additionally, this will change the square footage of unit 19 to 2,086 sq. ft. with a deck area of 134 sq. ft. and Unit 20 to 3,435 sq. ft. with 693 sq. ft. of deck area. Units 15, 16, 17, and 18 will all undergo slight changes to either their floor area calculations or deck square footage. These changes overall will add 45 sq. ft. of floor area and 639 sq. ft. of deck area to the project; however, these changes will be within the dimensional limitations of the approved project. There will be no net change to the number of parking spaces in the proposed plans. Parking units will simply be adjusted to different areas of the site. The site walls are generally in the same locations around the pool area. The applicant is changing the site wall design to comply with applicable zoning regulations. The original Planned Development plans did not include specific square footage of the outdoor deck and pool areas. The site wall, landscape changes, and changes to decking represent refinements to the site plan from the original approvals. All changes are consistent with the conditions and representations in the project’s original approval, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Staff finds this criterion is met. 3. The request does not require granting a variation from the project's allowed use(s) and does not request an increase in the allowed height or floor area. Staff Response: The request does not require granting a variation from the allowed uses. The uses remain the same from the original approvals. Additionally, no proposed changes require an increase in the allowed height or floor area. All changes are within the dimensional limitations for the project. Staff finds this criterion is met. Exhibit E 1450 Ute Avenue Aspen Club Insubstantial PD and Commercial Design Amendment Review Criteria 4. Any proposed changes to the approved dimensional requirements are limited to a technical nature, respond to a design parameter that could not have been foreseen during the Project Review approval, are within dimensional tolerances stated in the Project Review, or otherwise represents an insubstantial change. Staff Response: The applicant’s request does not change any of the approved dimensions. All changes are within the dimensional limitations for the Planned Development. Staff finds this criterion is met. 5. An applicant may not apply for Detailed Review if an amendment is pending. Staff Response: This criterion does not apply.
