934 West Francis Street Conditional Use for Two (2) Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADUs), and Variances from the Residential Design Standards - Public
Hearing. Parcel ID 2735-123-0013
Jk'
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
September 15,1998
SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting Conditional Use approval to construct two (2)
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The applicant owns Lots I and 2 of the Hower
Subdivision Exemption (Lot Split approved via Ordinance Number 39, Series of 1997), and
intends to construct a single-family residence with a corresponding ADU on each of the two
lots. The proposed ADUs would be located above the garages along the alley and attached
to the corresponding, primary residences. By providing the ADUs, the applicant would
obtain a GMQS Exemption, enabling the property owner to construct the new residences
pursuant to City Land Use Regulations.
The applicant IS seeking FAR bonuses for each ADU pursuant to Section 26.40.090(E) as
the ADUs are subject to conditional use review and approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, will be deed restricted and registered with the housing office, and will be
available for rental to eligible working residents of Pitkin County. It has been the uncodified
policy of the Housing Office and the Planning and Zoning Commission to require mandatory
occupancy of all ADUs for which FAR bonuses have been granted, but the owner would still
retain the right to select the renter for the unit and set the rental rate.
Community Development staff recommends that the Conditional Use and associated
FAR bonuses for the two (2) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) at 934 West Francis
Street (Lots 1 and 2 of the Hower Subdivision Exemption Plat) be approved, subject to
conditions.
APPLICANT: Running Bear, LLC., represented by John Galambos (architect)
LOCATION: 934 West Francis Street (Lots L, M, N, and 0, Block 3, City of Aspen and
Part of the W 1/2 of Section 12, T JO S, R 85 W of the 6th P.M., County of Pitkin, State of
Colorado) is located at the westerly end of and on the north side of West Francis Street.
ZONING: Medium-Density Residential (R.6)
CURRENT LAND USE: The two lots currently contain a split-level single-family house
that straddles the adjoiningproperty line between Lots I and 2. The existing house would be
demolished prior to the redevelopment of the site.
LOT SIZE: Lot I of the Hower Subdivision Exemption Plat contains 6,735 square feet of
land, and Lot 2 has an area of 6,000 square feet. The R-6 zone requires a minimum of 6,000
square feet per unit, and ADUs do not count as units of density.
r..
.~
.
ALLOWABLE FAR: Lot 1 has an allowable FAR of 3,331 square feet, and Lot 2's
allowable FAR is 3,240 square feet.
PROPOSED LAND USE: Two detached single-family residences where each of the two
primary residences would have an associated Accessory Dwelling Unit.
REVIEW PROCEDURE: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) require conditional use
approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing. It is a one-step
review that requires notification to be published, posted and mailed in accordance with
Section 26.52.060(E).
The following sections of the code are applicable to this conditional use review: Section
26.40.090, Accessory Dwelling Units; Section 26.28.040, Medium-Density Residential (R-
6); Section 26.60.040, Standards Applicable to All Conditional Uses; and, Section
26.58.040, Residential Design Standards.
Community Development Department staff reviewed this proposal against the Residential
Design Standards and found that the submitted development application for both residences
complies with the requirements of said section, with the exception of the "volume" standard
as it applies to the east and north elevations of the house on Lot I (westerly house), and all
four elevations of the house on Lot 2 (easterly house). The applicant is seeking a variance
from this standard. The Commission will serve as the DRAC when evaluating this request.
BACKGROUND: City of Aspen Ordinance Number 39, Series of 1997 approved a
Subdivision Exemption for a Lot Split creating the two subject lots. Under the terms of this
ordinance, both lots are required to mitigate for affordable housing pursuant to Section
26.l00.050(A)(2)(c) of the Municipal Code. The prior existence of a house on the property
would have entitled one of the two new lots to a floor area credit that could have been put
toward a cash-in-lieu payment; however, instead of building one ADU and paying cash-in-
lieu for the other lot, the applicant has decided to construct two ADUs.
Both of the currently proposed ADUs would be attached to the rear of the corresponding
primary residences, above the garages. As proposed, the ADU on Lot 2 would contain
approximately 423 square feet of net livable area, and the ADU on Lot 1 would contain
approximately 416 square feet of net livable area. Thus, if FAR bonuses are approved, 212
square feet of the Lot 2 ADU's floor area would count toward the allowable FAR on its lot,
and 208 square feet of the Lot 1 ADU's floor area would count toward the allowable FAR on
that lot. Each of the two ADUs would have its own kitchen, bathroom, and access, as
required by code. The proposed off-street parking for the ADUs would be located parallel to
(along) the alley and on the corresponding lot, but separate from the driveways to the garages
that serve the primary residences. By creating two ADUs meeting the provisions of the code,
the applicant would be granted a GMQS Exemption for the c.onstruction of two new
residences, provided the homes comply with the City Land Use Regulations.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Section 26.40.090, Accessory Dwelling Units
The ADUs proposed on Lots 1 and 2 would contain approximately 416 and 423 square feet
of net livable area, respectively (See Exhibit A). Both ADUs would be deed restricted,

Sara Garton opened the regular Aspen Plarming and Zoning meeting at 4:30 p.m.
Commissioners Bob Blaich, Steve Buettow, Ron Erickson, Sara Garton, Roger
Hunt and Tim Mooney were present. Jasmine Tygre arrived at 5:00 p.m. and Tim
Semrau was excused. City Staff in attendance were: Chris Bendon, Stan Clauson,
Mitch Haas, Amy Guthrie and Julie Ann Woods, Community Development; David
Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney; Jackie Lothian, Deputy City Clerk.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Ron Erickson complemented staff on doing a great job.
Sara Garton asked, as a citizen of the East End with the re-development potential,
for a construction parking plan to be reviewed by PI arming & Zoning. She noted
there were probably 30 pick-ups on Parkand Midland now. She said the
construction workers vehicles have also disrupted RFT A .as well. Mitch Haas
commented that Engineering was working on this parking plan. Stan Clauson
stated the city policy for development in the commercial core, where paid parking.
existed, was for those parking spaces occupied by a construction trailer or blocked
out, were paid to the city; the lost revenue was reimbursed. He noted there was
not an equivalent policy for areas in the city that do not have paid parking.
Clauson said that Parking and Transportation would be asked for help. He noted a
condition of approval could be added.
Tim Mooney asked about the construction trailer in front of the ISIS again.
Clauson said that trailer has a permit from Engineering for the duration of the steel
bracing in front portion of the project. He said snow removalwon'tbe affected
because it was windrow to the center ofthe street and not plowed to the edge.
Mooney said with valet parking and the construction trailer, the center of the street
was changed. He asked if this was considered when snow removal would be
necessary. There was discussion of trailer placement. Roger Hunt inquired as to
changing the valet parking to parallel. David Hoefer noted the parallel parking
has been discussed. Mooney clarified the construction manager parked his vehicle
on the empty tree lot.
Bob Blaich again noted the very shiny and reflective silver pipes exposed at
Waterplace and the approval was for a subdued look. Clauson mentioned this to
David Guthrie and will check back with him.
Jackie Lothian requested dates to for the commissioners to meet with council for
lunch. All commissioners, except for Hunt, agreed to a Friday noon lunch.

PUBLIC HEARlNG:
934 WEST FRANCIS, CONDITIONAL USE FOR TWO ADUs
David Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney, requested proof of notice be brought to the
city clerks office by 5pm, Wednesday, 9116/98 with the understanding the hearing
will be considered null and void, if the proper notice was not received. He stated,
that in the future, if staff did not have proof of notice, the public hearing would not
proceed. The applicant Dale Hower, was sworn in by the Deputy City Clerk,
Jackie Lothian. Mitch Haas stated that neighbors had told him that they were
notified. Hoefer asked when the notice was posted on the property, where the list
of neighbors was obtained from and when the mailing occurred. Ms. Hower
responded that was at least 3 weeks ago. She stated that neighbors also told her
that notices were received. (Notice received by deputy city clerk on 09/16/98).
Haas explained the request was for conditional use approval to construct 2 ADUs;
one on each lot. The lot split was approved by city council last year. The
proposed ADUs would be located above the attached garages along the alley.
There would be a GMQS exemption for each house with approval of the ADUs
and they requested the FAR bonus. Haas stated they were made aware there
would be a condition of mandatory occupancy if the FAR bonus was granted.
Haas noted the change in representatives. The Lot 1 ADU would contain a net
livable 416 square feet and Lot 2 would be 423 square feet; the bonus would only
2

SEPTEMBER 15, 1998
count as '/2 of what would be counted in calculating the total FAR on the lot. Each
ADD would have its own entrance off the alley.
Haas stated the applicant also requested a series of variances from the residential
design standards. He said it was made very clear to the applicant during the
application process there was a choice ofDRAC for the volume variances or P&Z;
one or the other, not both. If the one chosen did not grant the variances, there was
no right to go before the other board afterwards. Haas circulated drawings with
highlighted areas for the window volume variances. He said staff did not
recommend approval for these variances on the east or west elevations; the
windows could be re-designed to comply. The north elevation in the ADD had
more than UBC required natural light and glazing areas; they were not necessary
in terms of providing light.
Haas said if the windows were rectilinear, they would comply. He said there was
a no window zone of9' - 12' for rectilinear or orthogonal windows; the no
window zone for non-orthogonal windows was from 9' - 15'. Staff recommended .
the windows be re-designed to comply with the residential design standards.
Haas stated the deed restriction for the ADDs would be required mandatory
occupancy because the applicant was seeking an FAR bonus with a condition
granting that FAR bonus. He said there would be a condition with lock-off doors
between the ADDs and the main residence. He said condition #8 had to do with
parking. There were conditions concerning the fencing and trees.
Sara Garton inquired about referral agency comments. Haas replied that the city
council did not want to see the referral agency memos; just to make the concerns
part of the staff memo. He said the conditions reflected the concerns. Garton
noted the land use commission needed to review engineering, housing, HPC,
environmental health and fire comments if applicable.
Bob Blaich questioned the memo statement on page 5 regarding the appeal
decision making process. Haas clarified P&Z would be the board if they chose to
go forward on the design standards review tonight; no other board would review.
Ron Erickson inquired as to the enforcement of a qualified renter for the ADD.
Haas replied that was part of the deed restriction. Hoefer stated a letter from the
Attorney's office would be sent from a complaint. Erickson asked iftenants could
be screened through the housing office. Haas said it would be the honor system to
3

send the tenant to the housing office. Scott Sambrowski commented the old
housing rules applied. Garton stated that if aFAR bonus was granted; quid pro
quo would be mandatory occupancy for the ADD. There was discussion ofthe
FAR bonus; mandatory occupancy for the ADD and the conditions of approval.
Chris Bendon clarified the existing Housing Guidelines reflected recommendation
for approval with mandatory occupancy as a deed restriction for the FAR bonus.
Roger Hunt said the legal lot split should entail 2 separate addresses instead of the
934 West Francis. Haas responded that legally they could be Lots 1 &2 ofthe
Hower subdivision. Julie Ann Woods explained that at building permit, the
addresses would be assigned.
Sambrowski and Hower decided to pull the design standards from the P&Z
meeting tonight. Haas explained prior to building permit, the designs would be
submitted for Ordinance 30 review. If the designs would not comply, then a
separate application would be required for that design review and a separate fee.
The record reflects the design standards variance requests not part of any approval
or reflected in the conditions of approval.
Public Comments:
Frances Pearce, 923 West Francis, stated concern for the parking pI:oblems in the
neighborhood. She asked that no street parking be allowed from these 2 new
houses; that all parking be contained on the lots. Haas said the parking was
addressed with a 2 car garage per house; 1 parking pad per ADU accessed from
the alley. He said any street parking would have the standard residential parking
permits (1 per unit). Haas noted these parking spaces met the requirements.
Kim Keilin, 939 West Francis, stated that notice was not received and would like
to be notified in the future. She asked if it could be conditional to have one spot
per bedroom. Haas said the site plan wouldn't allow that because ofthe trees.
Keilin asked ifthe ADUs could be limited to one vehicle for each. Haas said there
was a condition for one parking space per ADU on site to be indicated on the. final
plat. Hoefer explained the city regulations had no authority to restrict parking on
public streets. Keilin asked if contractors could park on 8th Street. Hower agreed
about parking problems in the area and would request the contractor to park on 8th
and obtain parking passes.

Lucy Talenfeld, 915 West Francis, said that she was also concerned about the
parking. She said the alley would be open. Garton noted during the building
permitproc~ss; the question could be posed, Sambrowski stated if parking could
be in the alley they would take that opportunity; he' ll.check with the fire Marshall.
Garton stated theADUs being occupied would be a benefit to the community to
house people in the urban areas.

PUBLIC HEARING:
270 NORTH SPRING STREET, BRANDING GROUP RESIDENCE
CONDITIONAL USE FOR AN ADD, STREAM MARGIN REVIEW, AND
WAIVERS OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS (# 2737':'073-11-005)
Sara Garton opened the public hearing and requested proof of notice. David
Hoefer, Assistant City Attorney, stated the affidavit met the requirements and the
commission had jurisdiction to proceed. Chris Ben.don, Staff, explained the
applicant was the Branding Group and they Were requesting Conditional Use
approval for an Accessory Dwelling Unit, Stream Margin Review and variances to
the "Volume" and "Garage Placement" elements of the Residential Design
Standards. He said the property was located at 270 Spring Street, Oklahoma Flats
Addition. Bendon illustrated the location on bluelines showing the comer lot with
Bay and Spring Streets.
Bendon noted the ADU was approximately 587 square feet, deed restricted to
mandatory occupancy, to be located in a space above a proposed garage; a little
larger than most units with a nice deck. The garage does not comply with the
res.idential design standards because it was not set back. The applicant was
seeking a FAR bonus for the ADU (in which 1/2 ofthe ADU counts toward the
allowable FAR). Bendonexplained there were 2 ways to obtain the FAR bonus:
CD the unit qualify as detached (the footprint cannot exceed 450 sf; separate from
the main residence); or@ deed restrict for mandatory occupancy.' He stated that
one of the two should be decided upon.
Bendon noted staff recommended approval of the window waivers but not the
garage wavier from the residential design standards. Garton inquired about the
two curb cuts. Bendon replied that only one curb cut was allowed per property.
He said Denise Reich provided some photos and a letter regarding the parking.
Bill Poss, Steve Holly and Kristeen Rosenberg were present for the hearing and
review. Poss, architect, agreed with the conditions; he requested the variances for
the garage and windows. He explained the current 20' set back from the property
line and 25' from the street edge; the ADU balcony would be above the garage.
Poss utilized colored bluelines and photos of neighboring houses to illustrate his
reason for the variances. He said Bay Street was not really a curb cut because
there weren't any curbs, but in the future there may be curbs. Garton asked where
the ADU parking was located. Poss said it would be located on that side of the
7
ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 15,1998 .
h.ouse; there W.ould be a caretaker living in the unit. Bend.on stated this
c.ommissi.on did n.ot have the auth.ority t.o grant the curb cut as a variance.
P.oSS said the landscaping included some deciduous trees on the c.omer and .on the
street line to soften the edge fr.om the setback. He stated there W.ould be a 3 'very
open (rail) fence to define the property.
Tim Mooney stated the neighborhood was eclectic; the movement .of the garage
back would encroach on light tl1at W.ould enhance the living spaces. He
c.omplimented the spirit .of the ADD and the house; he said the variances were
justified. Mooney recommended the off street curb. cut.
Bob Blaich stated the design was very good and this was setting a g.ood example.
He supported what Mooney said.
Steve Buettow stated the design de-emphasized the size of the garage; the building
was carefully articulated. He asked to see a parking place f.or the ADD.
Ron Erickson said that he had no problem with any ofthis but asked why a house
C.ouldn't be designed to conform with the. c.ode so that the commission does not
have to lo.ok at moving windows. Blaich agreed that there have been en.ough test
cases for Ordinance 30 to apply or not apply. Poss replied that he was on the
committee that created Ordinance30 and if the ordinance had to address every
situation, it would be t.oO thick. Blaich n.oted there were some architects that come
in .over and over to challenge the ordinance. He agreed with M.o.oney on the site
specific applicati.ons for the variances. Mooney stated it was the client that drove
the architect to request variances. Tygresaid that the volume standard was still
not addressed successfully in the design standards. She did not find this design as
objectionable as others in the area. . Hunt agreed.
Poss said they wanted to add some trees outside the building envelope. Bendon
stated that parks would have to approve what P&Z recommended. Discussions
included proposed guest parking along the north side of the property which
represents a second curb cut disallowed by the municipal code. Planning and
Zoning C.ommission rec.ommended that upon the curbing and guttering of Bay
Street the City should allow for a second curb cut for the property at this I.ocation.
This disposition does not create a legal or vested right. There was .discussion of
the conditions which were amended as stated in the motion.

NEW BUSINESS:
303 E. MAIN STREET - SPECIAL REVIEW FOR TRASH AREA
Amy Guthrie explained the review process went back to early 1996 with the
requirement of a lO'x20'xlO' trash area reduced in height to 8'on the first floor of
the tower. She said subsequently the project was built and the tenant, Matsuhisa,
utilized the entire first floor of that area for dry and cold food storage. She said this
has prevented them from receiving a certificate of occupancy.
Gtlthrie, stated the proposal for the trash storage area was about one quarter of what
was the required trash area. There was a dumpster in this area (to be emptied daily)
forMatsuhisa, the retail space, old Bacchus.space and the apartment. ShecSaid there
was a signed agreement with the Howling Wolf for trash disposal.
Guthrie stated there were safe-guards in the conditions for the approval. Steve
Buettow recalled that the Howling Wolf came in a number of years ago for a
reduction in their trash area, which would make the area inadequate.

.
Jeffrey Hafferty, representative for the applicant, stated they had met with the
environmental ranger on trash requirements. He said they have placed a larger trash
container at the Wolf. David Hoefer stated that they will be made to comply with
all city ordinances regarding trash.
Jasmine Tygre inquired about the tenant to replace Bacchus with regards to trash
generation. Roget Kuhn stated there has been inquiry into that space, but no one has
leased. . Tygre inquired about the garage doors. Guthrie answered those were not
designated parking areas but the storage area already mentioned. Hafferty stated
after meeting with Betsey Kipp, Environmental Health, they agreed to meet the fire
code and trash storage requirements.
Tim Mooney expressed adding a condition withregards to the trash stQrage for the
term of the lease for Matsuhisa, SQ it would not roll over to the new tenant with
different trash needs. Garton stated there were problems with.this requests because
the parcel had constraints, which had to met by the landlord. She noted that trash
would have to be carried past another restaurant (LaCocina) in order to be placed in .
the Howling Wolf dumpster. Garton said there could be adjustments made to the
building to provide trash removal; the restaurant located at the end of the alley
should be the collection spot for trash.
Erickson asked how condition #8 would be enforced. Garton asked if the business
license could be tracked through the City computer software program. The answer
was that the Software was not capable.
Hafferty stated the otherrestaurants had non-proper trash storage containment.
Garton asked if Howling Wolf would be used for over flow trash only or
everyday, Hafferty said all trash from the building, not just Matsuhisa, was stored
in the Matsuhisa trash area; the reason the Howling Wolf dumpster was to be used.
Roget Kuhn stated the design his father wanted included the trash area inside. He
said they were trying to support the tenant in the storage request. Hafferty said there
was a larger mechanical room where the dry storage space was supposed to go in the
basement; the dry storage was now located in that trash storage area.
Blaich recalled the P&Z hearings with a not favorable history of the project. He
said the original agreement should be kept. Charles Fagan, attorney for Matsuhisa,
stated the original design showed the storage area (garage) with both bays open;
11
~ ,~
ASPEN PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 15,1998
during construction there were basic physical plan engineering problems resulting in
1/2 of the western bay being used for mechanical and venting. .
Fagan said the restaurant needed that area for dry storage and were trying to make
the best of a bad situation. Garton stated there were changes that needed to be made
in order to make it work and would stay with the 1996 approval.
MOTION: Tim Mooney moved to approve Special Review for Trash
Area at 303 E. Main Street with the following conditions: 1. The on-site
trash storage area shall be as shown in either Scheme A or B, as shown on Exhibit C
and as reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 15, 1998.
2. The attached agreement with the Howling Wolf must be signed and recorded with
the City Clerk's office within 15 days of this approval. 3. The separation wall
between the trash area and food storage area shall meet the requirements of the
Environmental Health Department. Environmental Health must also confirm that
Matsuhisa will still have adequate cold food storage with the dedication of some of
the existing area to trash storage. 4; The Fire Department must confirm that the
sprinkler system is adequate. 5. In transportiIig their garbage from 303 E. Main
Street to the Howling Wolf, Matsuhisa, or any other tenants of 303 E. Main who may
participate in the trash agreement with the Howling Wolf, are responsible for picking
up items that fall to the ground. Failure to do so will result in a notice of violation
from the City's Environmental Ranger and his recommendation that the trash storage
revert to the approval as granted in 1996. 6. No fewer than five 90 gallon residential
type trash containers, 01' aneqllivalent size dumpster will be placed in the on-site
trash storage area and pick up for trash will be on a daily basis, as represented by the
applicant. 7. At such time as a compactor is installed in the alley, the owner and
tenants of 303 E. Main Street will be required to participate in that program. 8. If
the agreement with the Howling Wolf becomes invalid before a compactor is
installed, and no other similar agreement is in place within 10 days, this approval
will be nullified and the applicant must modify the trash storage area on the site to
the configuration originlllly approved in 1996. 9. All material representations
made by the applicant shall be considered conditions of approval. Ron Erickson

Mitch Haas, City Planner
FROM:
Sara Thomas, Zoning Officer
RE:
934 West Francis Street, Conditional Use Review for two ADU's
DATE:
September I, 1998
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Lots I and 2 of the Hower Lot Split at 934 West Francis Street are located in the R-6
zone district. Per the Hower Subdivision Exemption Plat, Lot I contains 6735 square feet
and has an allowed floor area of 333 I square feet. Lot 2 contains 6000 square feet and
has an allowed floor area of 3240 square feet. Each lot has the following dimensional
requirements:
Lot I
Lot 2
Setbacks:
Front Yard 10 feet
Rear Yard 10 feet
Combined Front/Rear 30 feet
Side Yard 5 feet
Combined Side Yard 18 feet
10 feet
10 feet
30 feet
5 feet
15 feet
Site Coverage:
37.5% (2525 sq. ft.)
40% (2400 square feet)
The proposed site plans appear to conform with the setback and site coverage
requirements. I am not able to verify floor area or height calculations at this time, as the
application packet does not contain adequate information for this level of review. All
dimensional requirements will be verified at time of building permit application.
I""
/~
meeting the housing authority's guidelines for resident occupied units, limited to rental
periods of not less than six (6) months in duration. The owners of the principal residences
will retain the right to set the rental rates and select a qualified employee(s) of his/her
choosing in their ADU. One (I) off-street parking space will be provided on-site for each
ADU, and will be accessed from the alley. Therefore, the proposal complies with the
requirements of Section 26.40.090(A)(I).
Pursuant to Section 26.40.090(A)(2), the development, including the ADUs, is subject to all
of the dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district, Medium-Density Residential
(R-6). All of the dimensional requirements will be met, including those associated with floor
area, height, site coverage, and setbacks.
Since the ADUs would be attached to the primary residences, Section 26.490.090(A)(3) is
not applicable. Section 26.40.090(A)(4) states that "an attached accessory dwelling unit
shall utilize alley access to the extent practical. " The proposed ADUs and their parking
would be accessed from the alley at the rear ofthe lot.
Section 26.40.090(B), Development Review Standards, requires' that "the proposed
development be compatible with and subordinate in character to the primary residence
located on the parcel as well as development located within the neighborhood, and assuming
year-round occupancy, shall not create a density pattern inconsistent with the established
neighborhood" The proposed ADUs would not be overtly distinct in terms of external
appearances as they have been designed to appear as part of the primary residences (houses)
with the exception of a stairway from the ground level at the rear of the structure; thus, they
will be compatible with and subordinate in character to the primary residences. This property
is located in an established residential neighborhood which is, for the most part, made up of
single family residences, many of which have attached or detached accessory dwelling units
associated with them, and multi-family residences. The proposed ADUs will be compatible
with the character of the existing neighborhood and will not create a density pattern
incompatible with that already established in the area.
Section 26.60.040, Standards Applicable to All Conditional Uses
Pursuant to Section 26.60.040, a development application for a conditional use approval
shall meet the following standards:
(A) The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards
of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan, and with the intent of the zone district in
which it is proposed to be located.
The stated purpose of the R-6 zone district "is to provide areasfor long term residential
purposes with customary accessory uses ' . , Lands in the Medium-Density Residential (R-6)
zone district are generally limited to the original Aspen Townsite, contain relatively dense
settlements of predominantly detached and duplex residences, and are within walking
distance of the center of the city," The proposed ADUs would be in harmony with the
purpose of the R-6 zone district since they would provide for long-term residential use (or
. customary accessory use), be located within the original Aspen Townsite, be within walking
distance of the center of the city, and be in close proximity to transit (the 8th Street bus stop
is one block away). ADUs are allowed as conditional uses in the R-6 zone district.
3
,,-,
~
One of the stated themes of the AACP with regard to "revitalizing the permanent
community" is to "increase resident housing." Also, the proposal is consistent with the
following purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the AACP:
. "Promote, market and implement Cottage Infill and Accessory Dwelling Unit programs;"
. "Develop small scale resident housing which fits the character of the community and is
interspersed with free market housing throughout the Aspen Area and up valley of Aspen
Village;" and,
. "The public and private sectors together should develop . . . employee-occupied
accessory dwelling units, to achieve the identified unmet need to sustain a critical mass
of residents."
Staff finds that this conditional use application for two ADUs complies with Section
26.60.040(A).
(B) The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the immediate'
vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or
enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the immediate vicinity
of the parcel proposed for development.
The subject parcel is surrounded by residential uses, some of which have associated
accessory dwelling units, and the proposed ADUs would be both consistent and compatible
with the existing residential development in the immediate vicinity. Also see the last
paragraph of the Section 26,40,090, Accessory Dwelling Units portion of this memo, above.
(C) The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed conditional
use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and
vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on
surrounding properties,
As mentioned earlier in this memo, the proposed ADUs would appear as part of the principal
residences; thus, their location, size and design will minimize any potential adverse visual
impacts. Like all of the surrounding properties, the ADUs' parking and trash service would
be accessed from the alley at the rear of the property. No noise, vibration, or odor related
impacts are anticipated. The proposed ADUs would operate like any other residence or
ADU found in the neighborhood. The anticipated impacts should be negligible.
(D) There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the conditional use
including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police,
fire protection, emergency medical services, hospital and medical services, drainage
systems, and schools.
There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the proposed uses. The structures
would be within an existing, well-established neighborhood.
(E) The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the incremental needfor
increased employees generated by the conditional use,
While the proposed development of two ADUs would not generate an increase in the
employment base, the applicant will be supplying ADUs which, pursuant to Section
26.40.090(A)(1), will be deed restricted, registered with the housing office, and available for
rental to eligible working residents of Pitkin County for periods of not less than six months
in duration, thereby serving the 'need for increased affordable housing in the City of Aspen.
4
,
,-,.,
, ,
'-',
,
As the applicant is requesting FAR bonuses with each ADU, occupancy would be mandatory
with the caveat that the owner would still retain the right to set the rental rates and select the
renter provided the renter qualifies under the rules and regulations of the Housing Authority.
(F) The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards imposed on it
by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other applicable requirements of
this title.
The proposed conditional use will comply with all additional standards imposed on it by the
AACP and by all other applicable requirements of the Municipal Code, such as those
contained in Section 26.58.040, Residential Design Standards, unless variances are granted
by the Commission.
Section 26.58.040, Residential Design Standards
The proposed designs of the 934 West Francis Street Residences were reviewed by staff
against the Residential Design Standards of Section 26.58.040, Staff found the proposed
designs to comply with all but one of the design standards, namely standard
26.58,040(F)(12), Volume, This standard requires that there be no windows in any areas of
the first or second floors that lie between nine (9) and twelve (I2) feet above the height of
the floor plate, and non"orthogonal windows in any areas that lie between nine (9) and fifteen
(I5) feet above the height of the floor plate.
As proposed, the east and north elevations of the house on Lot I (westerly house), and all
four elevations of the house on Lot 2 (easterly house) contain violations of the volume
standard. On Lot l' s house, there is one small square-shaped window in a gable end of the
east elevation, and two small square-shaped windows in the gable end of the north elevation
that violate the window standard. On Lot 2's house, the following violations of the volume
standard are proposed: on the east elevation, one set of windows in the gable end and
another in the dormer; on the west elevation, the sets of windows in both dormers and the set
in the gable end; on the north elevation, the set of windows in the gable end; and, on the
south elevation, the sets of windows in both gable ends.
Under the language of the volume penalty, the applicant is left with three (3) options once it
is determined that the proposed design does not comply: first, the applicant can choose to
redesign the proposal to comply with the standard; next, the applicant can appeal staff's
finding to the Design Review Appeal Committee or other appropriate board; lastly, the
applicant can choose to accept a floor area penalty which would double the floor area in
those spaces visually accessed though the non-conforming windows. The applicant has
chosen to appeal staff s finding to the Planning and Zoning Commission in an attempt to
obtain a variance. If a variance is to be granted, it would have to be based on one of the
following three criteria:
(a) the proposed design yields greater compliance with the goals of the Aspen Area
Community Plan; or,
(b) the proposed design more effectively addresses the issue or problem the given
standard responds to; or,
(c) a variance is clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific
constraints.
According to the pending revisions to the Residential Design Standards, the purpose/intent of
the "Volume" standard "is to ensure that each residential building has streetj'acing
architectural details and elements which provide human scale to the facade, enhance the
5
.
,.-.,.
.~
walking experience, and reiriforce local building traditions." Although pending code
amendments do not hold any force in the review of current applications, staff felt this
information might be helpful in understanding the issues/concerns that the volume standard
attempts to address.
Since the proposed design does not yield greater compliance with the Aspen Area
Community Plan, if the requested variances are to be justified, it would need to be on the
grounds that either the proposed design is necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual
site specific constraints, or the proposed design more effectively provides street-facing
architectural details and elements which provide human scale to the facade, enhance the
walking experience, and reinforce local building traditions than would a design that meets
the exact letter of the "Volume" standard. The following paragraphs discuss the requested
variances relative to the variance standards, and are organized by house and elevation.
Lot I (Wysterly House):
The proposed design for the Lot 1 house contains "volume" standard violations on its east
and north elevations only (the south and west elevations comply as proposed). The east
elevation would face the house on Lot 2, and the north elevation would face the alley. On
the Lot I house, there is one (I) small square-shaped window in a gable end of the east
elevation, and two (2) small square-shaped windows in the gable end of the north elevation
that violate the window standard. The noncomplying windows on the east elevation have an
area of four square feet (2' x 2'), and the subject windows on the north elevation are a side-
by-side set of the same type of windows (2' x 4' = 8 sq. feet). The windows on the north
elevation would provide the ADU with eight (8) extra square feet of light, but the complying
windows would already provide the ADU with almost 140 square feet of glazing. The
window on the east elevation, would provide extra light to a stairway (as opposed to livable
space) that would already include some sixty (60) square feet of complying glazing.
Staff does not find any reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific constraints that
would make it impractical or impossible to comply with the volume standard. Thus, staff
feels that the only possible justification for the requested variances would have to be based
on the proposed designs more effectively providing street-facing architectural details and
elements which provide human scale to the facade, enhance the walking experience, and
reinforce local building traditions than would a design that meets the exact letter of the
"Volume" standard.
Since the elevations for which variances are requested would be only slightly visible, if at all
visible, from the Francis Street right-of-way (street-facing elevation) and the elevations that
would be visible comply with the standard, staff is of the opinion that the proposed design
effectively provides street-facing architectural details and elements which provide human
scale to the facade, enhance the walking experience, and reinforce local building traditions
without the variances, Hence, staff believes the applicant should be held to the letter of the
standard and made to redesign the non-complying elevations in order to meet the standard.
Lot 2 (Easterly House):
The proposed design for the Lot 2 house contains "volume" standard violations on all four of
its elevations. Specifically, the following violations of the volume standard are proposed:
on the east elevation, one set of windows in the gable end and another in the dormer; on the
west elevation, the sets of windows in both dormers and the set in the gable end; on the
6
~.
,r-"
north elevation, the set of windows in the gable end; and, on the south elevation, the sets of
windows in both gable ends.
The violating windows of the east elevation are similar to two of those discussed in reference
to the Lot 1 house. Each set of noncomplying windows on the east elevation have an area of
roughly eight square feet (2' x 4'). The windows in the dormer would provide the ADU with
eight (8) extra square feet of light, but the complying windows would already provide the
ADU with over 120 square feet of glazing (all sides combined). The set of windows in the
gable end would provide extra light to a stairway (as opposed to livable space) that would
already include some forty-eight (48) square feet of complying glazing on the same level.
Thus, staff concludes that the noncomplying windows of the east elevation are not necessary
for reasons of fairness, nor do they more effectively provide street'facing architectural
details and elements which provide human scale to the facade, enhance the walking
experience, and reinforce local building traditions than would a complying design.
The noncomplying windows of the west elevation are of the same nature as those described
in reference to the east elevation, except that none of these would be in a stairway. The
windows located in the dormer closer to the front of the house could easily be redesigned to
comply with the volume standard by making the top straight, as opposed to the proposed
arch-shape. These windows do not comply simply because they are non-orthogonal, but if
they were made to be rectilinear, the violation would be eliminated. The other non-
complying windows of the west elevation are superfluous and do not meet the standards for a
variance. Staff recommends that the west elevation be redesigned to eliminate all volume
violations.
The north elevation contains one set of three non-complying, non-orthogonal windows.
These windows would provide the ADU with approximately thirteen (13) extra square feet
of light, but the complying windows would already provide the ADU with over 120 square
feet of glazing, which is more than adequate to satisfy the natural light requirements. Only
43 square feet of glazing are needed to meet the UBC requirements for natural light.
The south, street-facing elevation contains two sets of non-complying, non-orthogonal
windows. A desire to maximize views of Aspen Mountain is not in any way a constraint. It
is not necessary for someone sitting in the furthest corner of a room to have unobstructed
views, when these views would be unobstructed to one standing at the complying windows.
Having these non-complying windows would not, in staffs opinion, more effectively
provide street-facing architectural details and elements which provide human scale to the
facade, enhance the walking experience, and reinforce local building traditions than would a
design without the variances. Hence, staff believes the applicant should be held to the letter
of the standard and made to redesign the non-complying elevations in order to meet the
standard.
STAFF FINDINGS: Based upon review of the applicant's land use application and the
referral comments, Community Development' staff finds that there is sufficient information
to support the Conditional Use request with conditionS. With the recommended conditions
of approval, the proposal meets or exceeds all standards applicable to the review of
Accessory Dwelling Units as conditional uses. With regard to the Residential Design
Standards, staff does not believe the requested variances meet any of the criteria necessary
for approval, and as such, the applicant should be made to redesign the glazing to comply
with the letter of the volume standard,

Re:934 W. Francis StreetADUs
Dear Mitch:
The existing split levelhouse is currently served by the District, The demolition of this unit and
construction of two single family residences, eaGh with an attached accessory dwelling unit, will
not adversely affeGt the public system, Two separate service lines, or a cOmmon service line with a
shared service line agreement, will be required. Separate accounts will be established for each
primary unit. We request that a tap permit be Gompletedat our office prior to the issuance of
building permits. Tap permits can be completed ollce detailed plans are available,
As usual, service is contingent upon compliance with the District's rules,. regulations,and
specifications which are on file at the District office.
Sincerely,
~~Y\A~~
Bruce Matherly

Application for Conditional Use for an Accessory Dwelling Unit located at each proposed residence
May 29,1998
RESPONSE TO ATTACHMENT 5.A:
A. These proposed ADUs for these two residences is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan; The goal of the housing plan is to house 60"10 of the
work force up valley from Aspen Village. This proposal adds two studio units to the housing pool to
be used to house qualified employees. Every small step is important to decreasing the nmnber of
workers forced to live down valley. This proposal also decreases the congestion on Highway 82
because the units are in the West End within walking distance to town and one block from the 8th street
bus stop. This proposal is an urban infill development, which locates the ADUs within an established,
in-town location. Therefor, this proposal is consistent with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed residences are located in Zone R-6, Medimn.Density Residential. This zoning allows for
ADUs as a Conditional Use.
B. This proposal for two ADUs is consistent and compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity
and enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in its neighborhood. The character of
the block on which this prQject is located already has a good mix of residences; smaller house with
attached apartments, a large, mostly unoccupied home, and the home of a long-time local. This
proposal would adds two houses and two ADDs which will only adds to the character of the
neighborhood.
C. The location, size, and design of this proposal minimizes adverse affect due to development. The
ADUs of this proposal are located on the alley, which fits the size and design desired for ADUS.
There is offstreet parking provided for each unit, which minimizes the visual affect of cars parked on
the road. And eliminates the conflict that occurs when driveways intersect sidewalks. These ADUs
are located one block away from the 8th street bus stop will encourage its residents to walk instead of
using their cars. This minimizes the impacts of vehicular circulation and noises and odors associated
with driving.
D. The proposed ADUs are located within the City of Aspen and there are adequate public facilities to
service this project. It is on city water, power, and sewer. It is also located within 10 minutes Qfthe
police, fire department, emergency room, and the school system.
E. By building these units, the applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the needs of the
increased employees generated by this conditional use.
F. These proposed ADUs complies with all the additional standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area
Comprehensive Plan.

residences as well. They won't create a density pattern inconsistent with the established neighborhood.
