THRU: Stan Claus , rector Community Development
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Director
DATE: April 10, 1995
RE: Amendment Specially Planned Area Final Development Plan -
Aspen Youth Center - Second Reading Ordinance 3, Series
1995
SUMMARY: Council tabled review of the proposal in order for
staff and the application to address several issues that surfaced
at the March 13, 1995 meeting.
Council requested more information on the following issues:
* both the land lease and sub -lease;
* intent or goal section in the sub -lease;
* clarification of accessory uses; and! ! 11i
�,.
* fee waiver request.`
The memo of March 13, 1795 is attached for Council's update.
STAFF COMMENTS:
A. Land Lease and Sub -Lease
In the March 13 memo the proposed changes to the Land Lease were
not consistent with the memo. A revised land lease is attached,
Exhibit A.
In addition, Rachel suggested that an intent or purpose section be
included within the sub -lease. The sub -lease is the lease between
the Youth Center and the operator of the diner. The Ordinance and
the Land -lease requires the City Attorney to review the sub -lease
on an annual basis or whenever the kitchen operator changes. The
revised sub -lease is also attached for Council's review, Exhibit
B.
The language of the intent/purpose section of the sub -lease is also
a condition of Ordinance 3, 1995. The sub -lease also cross
references Ordinance 3, 1995.
•
B. Accessory Uses
The diner has been considered by
the Youth Center. Accessory uses

staff to be an accessory use to
are allowed as permitted uses in
Council requested a review of the
is potential for abuse of these
According to the Land Use Code, the definition of an accessory use
is:
Accessory use or accessory structure means a use or
structure that is naturally and normally incidental to,
subordinate to and devoted primarily to the principal
use or structure of the premises; des not change the
basic character of the premises, as determined by its
principal use or structure served; and is located on the
same lot or contiguous lots under the same ownership as
the principal use or structure. In no event shall an
accessory use be construed to authorize a use not
otherwise permitted in the zone district in which the
principal use is located and in no event shall an
accessory use or structure be established prior to the
principal use or structure to which it is accessory.
Accessory buildings or structures shall not be provided
with kitchen or bath facilities sufficient to render them
suitable for permanent residential occupation.
A restaurant is not an allowed use in the Public zone district,
please see permitted and conditional uses, Exhibit C. However,
the diner was part of the original approval of the Youth Center.
The SPA overlay zone is a land use tool to "allow design
flexibility and to be planned and developed comprehensively as a
multiple use development. The entire Rio Grande park/parcel is
zoned SPA. Development within the SPA zone must complete an
extensive 4 step review process. The SPA is an overlay that is
placed over the underlying zone district designation. In the case
of the Rio Grande the underlying zone is Public. According to the
Code the SPA is applied as follows: "The underlying zone district
designation shall be used as a guide, but not an absolute
limitation, to the uses and development which may be considered
during the development review process."
It was through the SPA review process that the applicants were able
to propose and staff/review boards able to consider the diner as
an accessory use although a restaurant is not allowed in the Public
zone district. It is also because of the underlying Public zone
and the increased use of the accessory use that staff originally
suggested a substantial review of the changes currently proposed
by the Youth Center Board.
6
In relation to accessory uses in other zone districts or with other
development, unless the accessory use is permitted in the zone
district it will not be allowed as an adjunct to the primary use.
In otherwords, a resident of the R-6 zone district could not open
a coffee house in their carriage house because a restaurant is not
an allowed use in the zone district. It is the presence of the SPA
overlay that enables use flexibility within the zone districts.
The designation of SPA overlay and review of a development proposal
with SPA overlay is an extensive land use review process involving
public hearings at both the Commission and Council.
C. Fee Waiver Requests
The applicants have requested a waiver of fee Planning fees. The
applicants received a $2700 grant from Council during the 1995
budget cycle. The Planning Department charged an initial $2100
for a two step review process equaling 12 hours of work. The
Planning Department has subsequently bill the applicant for an
additional six hours which equals $815. Staff estimates that
another two hours will be spent on this application before the file
is closed for a total of $3241.
The policy for waiving Planning Department fees is to waive fees
only for 100% affordable housing. In the past, non-profit
organizations have requested a fee waiver and that request is
presented during Council's annual budget review. If Council waives
Planning fees, typically Council has reimbursed the Planning
Department from their discretionary fund.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning staff and the Planning and zoning
Commission recommends approval of the amendment to the Youth Center
final SPA approval with the following amended conditions:
1. All activities shall be either of a public nature, or sponsored
by the Youth Center to generate funds for the Center.

opportunities for employment or unpaid internships for youth during
the school year. Aspects of the lease shall include rent payable
to the Aspen Youth Center, employment or internships for youth
during the school year, provision of food for Aspen Youth Center
youth programs at cost, establishment of a reasonable price
structure for affordability by youth and families, provision of a
percentage of revenues to the Aspen Youth Center if any special
events are catered either in the Center or outside the Center,
3
operation of the kitchen should be an educational extension of the
schools to the greatest extent possible.
4. The City Attorney's office shall review any leases or uses of
the Center by other users.
5. The fee structure to use the Center shall be similar to the
City Recreation Department fees and Colorado Mountain College fees.
6. The operator of the diner shall be entitled to erect a sign in
accordance with the City Sign Code. the operator shall not be
allowed to advertise as a stand alone retail food establishment;
however, the operation may be promoted through Aspen Youth Center
mailings and it may be advertised as the food provider in
conjunction with any Aspen Youth Center advertisements or program
announcements.
7. These conditions of approval and the amendment to the SPA
approval shall be reflected in an amended lease between the
City/County and the Youth Center.
8. All material representations made by the applicant during the
public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council and in the application shall be adhered to and considered
conditions of approval unless otherwise amended by specific
conditions of approval.
9. An annual review of this amended programming and restaurant use
shall be conducted with the Planning and Zoning Commission at staff

absent negligence of fault on the part of Operator, the Premises
shall be damaged by fire or other catastrophe so as to render said
premises wholly untenantable, and if such damage is so great that
a competent licensed architect in good standing in Pitkin County,
Colorado, as selected by the Landlord within fourteen (14) days
from the date of loss, shall certify in writing to the Landlord and
Operator that the Premises, with reasonable diligence, cannot be
made fit for occupancy within ninety (90) days from the happening
of the occurrence of the damage, then this Agreement may terminate
and Landlord may re-enter and take possession. Such a termination
of the Agreement shall not forgive Operator's obligations to return
the Premises to Landlord in as good repair as when Operator
originally assumed possession thereof, regular and ordinary wear
and tear excepting. If, however, the damage is not such as to
prevent reoccupation and use of the Premises within ninety (90)
days, then repairs thereto shall be undertaken by Landlord with
proceeds from the insurance policy to restore the Premises to its
former condition and the Agreement shall remain in effect.
Operator's duties and obligations to provide services to the
Landlord as herein set forth shall be suspended during those time
periods wherein the Premises are unfit for normal business
activities due to fire or other catastrophe, and/or repair
activities associated therewith.
19. Landlord to be Named as Co -Insured or Additional Insured.
Operator shall name Landlord as co-insured or additional insured on
all insurance policies and such policies shall include a provision
that written notice of any non -renewal, cancellation or material
change in a policy by the insurer shall be delivered to Landlord
thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date.
20. Repairs and Alterations by Operator. Operator, upon
Landlord's written consent, and if necessary under the terms of the
Landlord's lease with the City and County, the City and County's
written consent, may, at its own expense, make reasonable and
necessary alterations or improvements to the Premises. All
alterations, additions and improvements shall be performed in a
workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable building and
safety codes, and shall not weaken or impair the structural
strength or lessen the value of the Premises. All alterations,
additions and improvements made in or to the Premises shall be the
property of Landlord and remain and be surrendered with the
Premises upon termination of this lease. Operator agrees that
prior to any construction or installation of alterations, additions
or improvements, Operator shall post on the Premises in a
conspicuous place a notice of non -liability for mechanic's lien as
specified in C.R.S. Section 38-22-105, on behalf of Landlord and
5
shall notify Landlord of such posting and the exact location of
same. Perfection of a mechanic's lien against the Premises as a
result of Operator's acts or omissions may be treated by Landlord
as a material breach of this lease.
21. Repairs and Alterations by Landlord. Landlord reserves
the right, from time to time, at its own expense and by its
officials, employees and contractors, to make such alterations,
renovations or repairs in and about the Premises, other than those
noted above as required by Operator, as Landlord deems necessary or
desirable and Operator covenants to make no claim against Landlord
for any interference with its interest as herein provided in the
premises. Landlord shall provide reasonable notice to Operator in
advance of any intent to undertake alterations or repairs as
authorized in this paragraph and all work shall be performed at
such times as mutually agreed to between the parties so as to
eliminate or minimize any disruption of Operator's business.
22. Condemnation. If during the term of this Agreement, or
any renewal of it, the whole or part of the Premises, or such
portion as will make the Premises unusable for the purpose leased,
or the leasehold interest, be condemned by public authority,
including City, for public use, then this Agreement shall cease as
of the date of the vesting of title in the Premises in such
condemning authority, or when possession is given to such
authority, whichever event occurs first. Operator shall not be
entitled to nay part of any condemnation award for the value of the
unexpired term of this Agreement or for any other estate or
interest in the Premises, such amount belonging entirely to
Landlord.
23. Assignment of Agreement. Operator shall not assign,
pledge, sublease or otherwise dispose of or encumber this lease, or
the leased Premises, without the prior written consent of the
Landlord.
24. Signs and Advertising. Operator shall be entitled to
erect a sign in accordance with the City sign code. The Operator
shall not be allowed to advertise as a stand-alone retail food
establishment; however, the operation may be promoted through Aspen
Youth Center mailings and it may be advertised as the food provider
in conjunction with any Aspen Youth Center advertisements or
program announcements.
25. Breach by Operator Defined. If Operator shall fail to
timely comply with any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement
or any notice given under it, or shall cause a violation of the
terms of the Lease between the Aspen Youth Center and the City and
County, or shall become insolvent, or shall have or attempt to make
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if any of its
property be attached and such attachment is not promptly released,
or if an execution of issued against it, or if a petition be filed
N.
by or against it, to have it adjudicated a bankrupt, or if a
trustee or receiver shall be created or appointed to take charge of
its assets, or if it shall abandon the premises for a period of
more than seventy-two (72) hours, then at any time afterwards
Landlord may treat such act or omission as a breach of this
Agreement and, at its option, enter into the Premises and remove
all persons and take and retain possession thereof either with or
without process of law.
26. Landlord's Remedy for Breach. Any breach, default or
failure by Operator to perform any of the duties or obligations
assumed by Operator under this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, prompt payment of rent when due, shall be cause for
termination of the Agreement by Landlord in the manner set forth in
this paragraph. Landlord shall deliver to Operator five (5) days
prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement,
including in the notice a reasonable description of the breach,
default or failure. If within that five (5) days Operator shall
fail or refuse to cure, adjust or correct the breach, default or
failure to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, then Landlord
shall have the right to declare this Agreement terminated and all
rights, powers and privileges of Operator as provided through the
Agreement shall cease, and Operator shall immediately vacate the
entire Premises and shall make no claim of any kind against
Landlord by reason of the termination. The five days' prior
written notice shall be conclusively determined to have been
delivered to Operator by the posting of same upon the main business
entrance to the Premises, or at the time it is deposited in the
U.S. Mail, certified, postage prepaid, addressed to the address set
forth in paragraph 31 herein.
27. Non -Waiver of Rights. Any failure by Landlord to so
terminate this Agreement as herein provided after the breach,
default or failure by Operator to adhere to the terms of the
Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver or
continuing waiver by Landlord of any rights to terminate the
Agreement for any present or subsequent breach, default or failure.
28. Termination by Operator. Operator may terminate this
Agreement and be relieved of all obligations hereunder by providing
Landlord thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to
terminate. Operator shall provide a full accounting of all funds,
costs and equipment upon termination. Landlord may apply the rent
and damage deposit required by paragraph 6 herein for any unpaid
rent that is due and owing or for any damages to the Premises,
fixtures or Landlord owned equipment.

laws, ordinances, rules and regulations that may pertain or apply
to the Premises and its use. In performing under the Agreement,

acknowledged and understood by the parties that nothing contained
in this agreement shall result in, or be construed as establishing
an employment relationship. To the extent that this Agreement may
be construed as requiring Operator to provide services to or on

independent contractor who agrees to use his or her best efforts to
provide the said services on behalf of the Landlord. No agent,
employee, or servant of Operator shall be, or shall be deemed to
be, the employee, agent or servant of the Landlord. Landlord is
interested only int eh results obtained under this Agreement. The
manner and means of conducting the work are under the sole control
of Operator. None of the benefits provided by Landlord to its

I. INTRODUCTION
In accordance with Article 7-804 (E), Amendment to Final Development Plan, the
Board of Directors of the Aspen Youth Center is submitting this request for an
amendment to the SPA approvals granted by Ordinance 27, series of 1990. In
connection with the successful granting of the Amendment, the Board is
requesting an amendment to the ground lease entered into on January 24, 1992
between the City of Aspen, the Board of County Commissioners and the Youth
Center.
The request is for a change in use to expand the uses of the physical building
housing the Youth Center. The building is an underutilized community asset.
Currently, the use is "exclusively for the purpose of establishing and thereafter
maintaining a meeting place for the youth of Aspen and surrounding areas."
The Youth Center Board would like to change the approval language to allow for
the use of the facility by other community groups when it is not in use by the
youth of the Roaring Fork Valley. While the emphasis is, and will remain, on the
youth of the Valley, the physical facility remains underutilized and should be
made available to other groups (Colorado Mountain College and City of Aspen
( Recreation Department, for example). The formal requests are delineated
M herein.

II. BACKGROUND
In 1988, an Advisory Board was created to pursue the creation of a center for
Aspen youth to hold events and to meet with other valley youth and visitors to
the Aspen area. The result of the Advisory Board's efforts was a rezoning of the
site of the existing Youth Center building from Public to Public with an SPA
overlay. In 1990 full SPA approval of the project and GMQS Exemption for
Essential Public Services were granted. Construction was completed in October
1991 and the Youth Center opened to serve the youth community of Aspen.
The physical improvements consist of an upper level space which is open and
is used for dances and large gatherings. The middle floor has offices, a
television room, and a game room. The lower level, on grade with the Rio
Grande playing field, consists of restaurant seating and a full kitchen.

III. CURRENT STATUS
The Youth Center is now almost three years old. The current Board has had the
opportunity to analyze the utilization of the facility, the financial strength and the
annual income and expense needs.
The Youth Center building is a great community asset. It is centrally located, is
adjacent to a large amount of open space, an extensive trail system and both
parking and public transportation. The youth that the facility serves have active
and committed schedules. During the school year, little or no activity takes
place at the Center before 3 or 4 p.m. In the late afternoons and evenings
during much of the week, there is also availability of the facility. The Summer
sees more usage, but many of the activities organized for youth take place away
from the Center. The Center is used for staging and meeting for outside events.
Since the Center opened, there have been fundamental changes in Aspen. The
Community Center on the site of the old hospital has been razed to make way
for housing. The two school buildings in the West End have been undergoing
renovation while future uses have been debated at length. Colorado Mountain.
College (CIVIC) programming has expanded greatly, requiring a constant search
for new venues for programs for youth and adults alike. These changed
circumstances, among others, have created a demand for space for many
programs from painting classes to aerobics.
Because of the extremely narrow uses allowed for the building, the Center sits
empty much of the time. This is both wasting an important community asset and
j causing undue financial strain on the Center and those who are responsible for
the facility.
3
�Q
IV. REQUESTS
The request herein is to allow for a tiered use of the Youth Center facility for
community recreational, educational and social events. The first priority is, and
shall remain, programming for and use by the youth of the Aspen community.
When the facility is not in use for programs organized by the Center and the
Youth Board, it can be available for programs by other entities, such as the City
Recreation Department or CMC. The Youth Center wants the latitude and
freedom to allow for a wide range of community -oriented uses to maximize use
of the facility and to generate revenue from these uses to defray operating and
maintenance costs inherent in the facility.
The Youth Center Board currently raises funds throughout the year to maintain
the facility and expand the youth programming. For certain programs we charge
a minimum fee to cover transportation or other specific costs. By using the
facility more fully we can create some funds to cover some building and
operating costs. This will allow us to use a larger portion of our fund raising
proceeds to create additional youth programming.
The Youth Center is zoned Public (PUB) with a SPA overlay. The purpose of
PUB is "to provide for the development of governmental and quasi -governmental
facilities for cultural, educational, civic and other governmental purposes."
Among the permitted uses is "community recreational facility." Thus, allowing
for additional use of the facility when it is not used for youth programs is entirely
within the purpose and permitted uses of the Public Zone District.
Pursuant to Section 8-104 C.(b), the City exempted the Youth Center from
GMQS as an essential public facility. This exemption was granted because the
Youth Center "provides facilities in response to the demands for growth, is not
itself a growth generator, is available for use by the general public, and serves
the needs of the City."
Allowing for a broader use of the facility by the general public will fill the void
created by the removal of the Community Center and is in response to the
demands for added venues from groups such as the City Recreation Department
and CMC. The requests herein shall not create any additional impacts in the
following areas: employee generation, impacts on City services, the demand for
parking, road and transit services, or on the need for basic services such as
water, sewage treatment, drainage control, fire and police protection and solid
waste disposal. The facility has been approved and it has been found that the
4
impacts are negligible. This request is not for any expansion of the facility. It
is merely a request to use the building to the degree that was assumed and
anticipated at the time of the granting of the original approval.
Additionally, this request is in keeping with the original intent of the Rio Grande
SPA which is for community recreation facilities and for public and quasi -public
uses on the site. Because the facility has a great deal of vacant time when
operating costs continue, allowing use of the building will serve a community
need and provide a minimal but much -needed supplement to the ongoing
struggle to raise operating funds.
Granting the requested changes will result in no change in the uses in the
building but merely an expansion of the range of users. The top floor dance and
meeting area will be available for dance classes, art classes, group events and
other such meetings. The middle floor of the Center will remain essentially the
same. The kitchen will be leased to an operator conditioned upon use
restrictions and requirements of the Youth Center. The eating and serving area
will be used in the summer months of June through September as an accessory
use to the Rio Grande playing fields. Also, the kitchen will provide box lunches
for outings such as raft trips, hikes and bike trips being run by the Youth Center.
Youth of the area will be employed to prepare and serve food, gaining job
experience. Food and beverages will be available to participants and spectators
at the various sporting events held on the Rio Grande playing fields. The food
service will not be advertised to the general public and will be operated in a
fashion not unlike the Dugout at the City playing fields and Moore pool.
During the remaining months of the year, the dining area will not be available for
use on a regular basis and will not be open to the public for sit down dining.
Rather it will be used for cooking classes, as an accessory to the youth using
the Center, or for private functions in connection with the use of the facility itself,
such as the end of the season hockey banquets.

V. FORMAL REQUESTS
Formal request is made for:
1. Approval to allow for a tiered use of the Center facility to make the
building available when not used for youth programs offered in the
community which are open to the general public. Rental rates shall be
set to cover operating, administrative, maintenance and repair
requirements.
2. A finding that the lease agreement shall be amended where necessary
to reflect the additional uses, including the right to sublet to other groups
or organizations for specific times.
3. A clarification of the restaurant and kitchen use to allow for Summer use
as an accessory use to Rio Grande playing fields and for use the rest of
the year not as a public restaurant but in connection with classes, private
events and the youth using the Center.
Upon granting of this request, the Board will cooperate with the Planning
Department to prepare an SPA Agreement outlining the uses and intents of the
Youth Center. Further, an amendment to the lease will be prepared for
execution by the parties involved.

MEMORANDUM HIBIT D
TO: Mayor and Council
THRU: Bill Efting, Acting City Manager
W
THRU: Stan ClausonDirector Community Development
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Director
DATE: March 13, 1995
RE: Amendment Specially Planned Area Final Development Plan -
Aspen Youth Center - Second Reading Ordinance 3, Series
1995
SUMMARY: The Aspen Youth Center Board (the Board) requests to
amend the final Specially Planned Area (SPA) development plan that
was approved for the development of the Youth Center (Center). The
Board believes there is a need to expand the permitted uses in the
building beyond only youth oriented activities providing a building
for community oriented activities, and to activate the kitchen on
a year-round basis.
Please see attached application, exhibit A.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends to Council approval
of the amendment to the Youth Center SPA final development plan.
Please see attached Resolution 94-35, exhibit B.
Note - between first and second reading, the applicants have
requested a revision to the Ordinance. One of the conditions of
approval (#3) outlines the operation of the on -site kitchen.
Language in the condition prevented advertising of the food
establishment as a restaurant other than on -site signage.
The applicants, having discussed the issue with potential leasees,
believe that the prohibition on advertising reduces the Center's
opportunity to find a viable tenant for the kitchen.
The primary goal of continued operation of the kitchen is for
vocational purposes. However, staff has always expressed concern
that a restaurant on this site must be an accessory use to the
Youth Center and to the activities on the Rio Grande park. In an
attempt to control the growth of a restaurant, the P&Z and staff
initially suggested the language prohibiting advertising.
After further discussion with the applicants and City Attorney,
staff recommends removal of the language preventing advertising and
rely instead upon the condition of approval that requires the City
to approve a lease between the Youth Center and the operator of the
kitchen. It is through that review process that the City can be
assured that the use of the kitchen is consistent with the approved
amendment.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council approved the final SPA
plan for the development of the Youth Center in 1990.
Council also approved the Rio Grande Master Plan in 1993. Although
the Youth Center was already developed, the Plan recognizes the
Center as an important component of the master planning of the Rio
Grande parcel.
The Council has consented to the submittal of this application.
The County has consented to the expansion of uses in the Center
provided the activities are of a public nature such as may be
sponsored by organizations established under Section 501(c)3 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
BACKGROUND: The Youth Center received conceptual and final SPA
approval in 1990 for the development of a center for youth oriented
activities on the Rio Grande property. The Rio Grande property is
zoned Public with a SPA overlay which requires a four step review
process of the development proposal. The property that the Youth
Center occupies is owned by the both the City and the County. The
City and County are in the process of finalizing a land exchange,
with a result that the Center will occupy only City property.
In 1990, the proponents of the Youth Center presented a development
proposal for a building that would serve as a focal point of
activities for resident and visiting youth of the community.
During the review, suggestions were made by staff, Commission
members, and Council members to enlarge the scope of activities
offered in the center. The applicants consistently responded that
the building was intended only for the youth and their activities
and to permit other uses would compromise their goals for the
center.
Final approval of the Center also included a full restaurant -style
kitchen with approximately 6 tables, waiver of housing mitigation,
GMQS exemption for an essential public facility, and a subsequent
lease with the City and County to occupy the land.
The Center has been open for approximately 3 years. Within that
time the Board has experimented with a variety of uses and not all
the activities have been youth oriented. However, due to the
representations made by the applicants during the initial review
process, it has been the City's policy to discourage uses in the
building on a long term basis unless it is a program for Youth.
CURRENT ISSUES:
A. Staff Comments: Pursuant to Section 24-7-804 E.2. -
modifications to the final development plan shall be approved
2
pursuant to the terms and procedures of the final development plan,
provided that the proposed change is consistent with or an
enhancement of the approved final development plan. If the
proposed change is not consistent with the approved final
development plan, the amendment shall be subject to both conceptual
and final development plan review and approval.
Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the
approved final development plan. However, due to the
representations made during the 1990 SPA review, the proposed
amendments are not insubstantial in nature and require a full
review by the Commission and Council.
B. Amendment: The Board now requests to amend the SPA approval
and the lease with the City to permit a more broad range of
activities in the building. The Center has functioned well in the
summer for the youth, but most activities take place away from the
Center and the Center functions primarily as a staging and meeting
place for outside events. The rest of the year the Center is used
very little.
This summer the kitchen was in full operation, which is the first
real use of the kitchen since the Center was opened. The
conditions for this summer's operations were to maintain the same
hours as the Center, close at the end of September, and employ
youth. The kitchen, operating as a restaurant, also served as an
accessory use to the activities on the Rio Grande playing field
much like the Dugout at Iselin Park.
In their request, the applicants propose a tiered use of the Center
for community recreational, educational and social events. As the
application states, "the first priority is, and will remain,
programming for and use by the youth of the Aspen community."
When the Center is not being used or has been programmed for youth
activities the Board would like to open up the use of the building
for other entities and programs. The Board would like to allow
for a wide range of community oriented programs and have the
ability to generate revenue from these uses to defray operating and
maintenance costs associated with the facility. In addition, the
new information that was provided by the applicant states that the
Center will be used for non-profit activities unless it is an event
sponsored by the Center and is intended to raise funds for the
Center.
The applicants propose to lease the kitchen as an accessory use to
the Youth Center. The primary propose of the kitchen will be as
a vocational/learning lab, in connection with the school district,
and employee local youth. The kitchen will be available for:
cooking classes, accessory use to other activities using the
Center, staging area for Aspen School District classes, or private
functions. The operator of the kitchen/diner may provide box
3
•
•
lunches for outings that are organized by the Youth Center and
serve walk-ins. Staff is recommending that the lease used by the
Youth Center reflect the lease language that is used by the City
for the Iselin Park concessionaire stand.
C. Staff Response - The property is zoned public. Please see the
permitted and conditional uses in the public zone, exhibit C. The
proposed activities in the Center, that are more "community center"
oriented, are consistent with the intent of the public zone
district. It is imperative that recreation classes, for example,
have a fee structure similar, if not equal, to those that are
offered by the City Recreation Department and/or CMC. Due to the
competitive nature established by the Growth Management System and
the exactions that are paid by for profit entities, activities that
are also offered by private athletic clubs cannot use the Center
with similar or slightly lower fees than the private clubs.
Of note are the referral comments from the Recreation Department
(exhibit D). The Recreation Department would be able to
orchestrate some activities out of the Center, but since most of
the City sponsored recreation programs are already subsidized
paying rent would pose a burden. Because the City and County lease
the publically owned property to the Center for a nominal amount,
staff would recommend that the City and County should not have to
pay to use the building.
The Planning and Zoning Commission struggled with the use of the
kitchen. A restaurant is not a permitted or conditional use in
the Public zone district. However, accessory uses are allowed and
if the kitchen operated as an accessory use to the activities of
the Center the Commission and staff believe a level of consistent
use of the kitchen/diner would be appropriate. In addition the
diner could be an amenity to park users similar to the concession
stand at Iselin Park. Therefore, staff is suggesting that the
lease between the Center and the food operator model the lease used
at Iselin Park.
The Board believes that a benefit to the Center and the schools is
derived by using the kitchen as a learning lab. The schools would
be able to offer food classes and local students could be hired to
work the diner thus learning important entrepreneurial skills.
This was the original intent for including a diner in the building.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of the amendment to the Youth Center final SPA approval
with the following conditions:
1. All activities shall be either of a public nature, or sponsored
by the Youth Center to generate funds for the Center.
2. The City and County shall not be required to pay rent for the
use of the building.

3. The kitchen will operate as an accessory use to the Youth
Center as a year-round learning center for vocational courses for
students of the school district. The lease for the operator of the
kitchen/diner shall be written to the extent possible to emulate
the lease used by the City at Iselin Park and will be reviewed by
the City Attorney. Aspects of the lease shall include rent payable
to the Aspen Youth Center, employment or internships for youth
during the school year, provision of food for Aspen Youth Center
youth programs at cost, establishment of a reasonable price
structure for affordability by youth and families, provision of a
percentage of revenues to the Aspen Youth Center if any special
events are catered either in the Center or outside the Center,
operation of the kitchen should be an educational extension of the
schools to the greatest extent possible. ,

Dear Leslie: .
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me regarding the request for a SPA
Amendment for the Youth Center. When the Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the
application, there were two issues of concern. The first was the potential use of the Youth
Center building for commercial and for profit events which were unrelated to the Youth
Center. Planning & Zoning wants clearer criteria for use of the Center. The second Issue
Involved the food service in the diner donated and initially operated by Boogies.
Having heard these concerns, the Youth Center Board proposes the following solutions.
Regarding use of the facility we will incorporate language into the lease for the land with the
City which will ensure that no for profit or commercial use shall be allowed other than uses
sponsored by the AYC and intended to raise funds for the Center. Thus, the use of the
Center will be for organized youth events. Then, free time will be scheduled for classes and
events which are open to the general public and for events which are designed as fund
raising efforts for the Youth Center.
We propose to use the diner as an accessory use to the Youth Center during the year with
use as an accessory use to the Rio Grande Park in the months of May through September.
The conditions for the restaurant use will include:
• An operator will run the kitchen and diner paying rent to the AYC.
• Youth will be employed or provided internships during the school year.
• Food for AYC youth programs will be provided at cost.
• The diner will have a reasonable price structure to ensure affdrdability by youth and
families.
• Any special events catered by the diner operator will provide a percentage of
revenues to the AYC as a direct funding mechanism for the center. Thus, a
percentage of profits will be returned to the AYC.

• The operator is offering a cooking and restaurant management class through the
Aspen School District. Attached is a letter of support from Toni Farrell,
Superintendent of the School District, and a proposed outline of the class. Item VI
Involves the real world experience of serving food, greeting customers and service..
• The lease between the AYC and the operator will be substantially In the form of that
used at Iselin Park, except for rental rates and restrictions on months of use, and will
be reviewed and approved by the City of Aspen Attorney.
The Youth Center Board feels this use program will make the kitchen and diner a true
community asset. The behefits to the youth of the valley will be many, Including the level
of activity generated at the Center, the opportunity for employment, the opportunity for
real life resort training In the food service industry and the real economic potential for the
Center. The success of this asset as an accessory use to the AYC to the park will create
pride, in the youth and in the entire community.
I hope this letter answers your concerns and those of the Commissioners and will allow us
to move forward Into a new and exciting era for the Aspen Youth Center.

The Aspen School District enthusiastically endorses the request for
a restaurant at the Aspen Youth Center. We have discussed the
opportunity of involving some of our students in a mentoring

MEMORANDUM
To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Dept.
From: Tim Anderson, Recreation Dept.
Date: July 26, 1994
Re: Youth Center SPA
The only question that comes to mind with this is the concession idea to Rio Grande. In order
to make the cafe a concession stand to Rio Grande does the city and more specifically the
Recreation Dept. have to be involved in this or can the youth center open a concession stand to
serve Rio Grande park?
The youth center makes mention of the youth center becoming a community asset for all user
groups with some sort of rental rates. This probably does not matter to you, but we would not
utilize the youth center if we had to pay for the facility since most of our programs are
subsidized and there are no monies to pay for facility rental. Take this for what you think it will
be worth.
Other than these two thoughts I think it would be great to expand that facility to allow the rest
of the community to utilize it.

FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Director
DATE: January 23, 1995
RE: Amendment Specially Planned Area Final Development Plan -
Aspen Youth Center - First Reading Ordinance 3, Series
1995
SUMMARY: The Aspen Youth Center Board (the Board) requests to
amend the final Specially Planned Area (SPA) development plan that
was approved for the development of the Youth Center (Center). The
Board believes there is a need to expand the permitted uses in the
building beyond only youth oriented activities providing a building
for community oriented activities, and to activate the kitchen on
a year-round basis.
Please see attached application, exhibit A.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to Council approval
of the amendment to the Youth Center SPA final development plan.
Please see attached Resolution 94 � exhibit B.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council approved the final SPA
plan for the development of the Youth Center in 1990.
Council also approved the Rio Grande Master Plan in 1993. Although
the Youth Center was already developed, the Plan recognizes the
Center as an important component of the master planning of the Rio
Grande parcel.
The Council has consented to the submittal of this application.
The County has consented to the expansion of uses in the Center
provided the activities are of a public nature such as sponsored
by organizations established under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal
Revenue Code..
BACKGROUND: The Youth Center received conceptual and final SPA
approval in 1990 for the development of a center for youth oriented
activities on the Rio Grande property. The Rio Grande property is
zoned Public with a SPA overlay which requires a four step review
process of the development proposal. The property that the Youth
Center occupies is owned by the both the City and the County. The
City and County are in the process of finalizing a land exchange
with a result that the Center will occupy only City property.
In 1990, the proponents of the Youth Center presented a development
proposal for a building that would serve as a focal point of
activities for resident and visiting youth of the community.
During the review, suggestions were made by staff, Commission
members, and Council members to enlarge the scope of activities
offered in the center. The applicants consistently responded that
the building was intended only for the youth and their activities
and to permit other uses would compromise their goals for the
center.
Final approval of the Center also included a full restaurant -style
kitchen with approximately 6 tables, waiver of housing mitigation,
GMQS exemption for an essential public facility, and a subsequent
lease with the City and County to occupy the land.
The Center has been open for approximately 3 years. Within that
time the Board has experimented with a variety of uses and not all
the activities have been youth oriented. However, due to the
representations made by the applicants during the initial review
process, it has been the City's policy to discourage uses in the
building on a long term basis unless it is a program for Youth.
CURRENT ISSUES:
A. Staff Comments: Pursuant to Section 24-7-804 E.2. -
modifications to the final development plan shall be approved
pursuant to the terms and procedures of the final development plan,
provided that the proposed change is consistent with or an
enhancement of the approved final development plan. If the
proposed change is not consistent with the approved final
development plan, the amendment shall be subject to both conceptual
and final development plan review and approval.
Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the
approved final development plan. However, due to the
representations made during the 1990 SPA review, the proposed
amendments are not insubstantial in nature and require a full
review by the Commission and Council.
B. Amendment: The Board now requests to amend the SPA approval
and the lease with the City to permit a more broad range of
activities in the building. The Center has functioned well in the
summer for the youth but most activities take place away from the
Center and the Center functions primarily as a staging and meeting
place for outside events. The rest of the year the Center is used
very little.
This summer the kitchen was in full operation, which is the first
real use of the kitchen since the Center was opened. The
conditions for this summer's operations were to maintain the same
hours as the Center, close at the end of September, and employ
2
•
youth. The kitchen, operating as a restaurant, also served as an
accessory use to the activities on the Rio Grande playing field
much like the Dugout at Iselin Park.
In their request, the applicants propose a tiered use of the Center
for community recreational, educational and social events. As the
application states, "the first priority is, and will remain,
programming for and use by the youth of the Aspen community."
When the Center is not being used or has been programmed for youth
activities the Board would like to open up the use of the building
for other entities and programs. The Board would like to allow
for a wide range of community oriented programs and have the
ability to generate revenue from these uses to defray operating and
maintenance costs associated with the facility. In addition, the
new information that was provided by the applicant states that the
Center will be used for non-profit activities unless it is an event
sponsored by the Center and is intended to raise funds for the
Center.
The applicants propose to lease the kitchen as an accessory use to
the Youth Center. The primary propose of the kitchen will be as
a vocational/learning lab, in connection with the school district,
and employee local youth. The kitchen will be available for:
cooking classes, accessory use to other activities using the
Center, staging area for Aspen School District classes, or private
functions. The operator of the kitchen/diner may provide box
lunches for outings that are organized by the Youth Center and
serve walk-ins. Staff is recommending that the lease used by the
Youth Center reflect the lease language that is used by the City
for the Iselin Park concessionaire stand.
C. Staff Response - The property is zoned public. Please see the
permitted and conditional uses in the public zone, exhibit C. The
proposed activities in the Center, that are more "community center"
oriented, are consistent with the intent of the public zone
district. It is imperative that recreation classes, for example,
have a fee structure similar, if not equal, to those that are
offered by the City Recreation Department and/or CMC. Due to the
competitive nature established by the Growth Management System and
the exactions that are paid by for profit entities, activities that
are also offered by private athletic clubs cannot use the Center
with similar or slightly lower fees than the private clubs.
Of note are the referral comments from the Recreation Department
(exhibit D). The Recreation Department would be able to
orchestrate some activities out of the Center, but since most of
the City sponsored recreation programs are already subsidized
paying rent would pose a burden. Because the City and County lease
the publically owned property to the Center for a nominal amount,
staff would recommend that the City and County should not have to
pay to use the building.
3
The Planning and Zoning Commission struggled with the use of the
kitchen. A restaurant is not a permitted or conditional use in
the Public zone district. However, accessory uses are allowed and
if the kitchen operated as an accessory use to the activities of
the Center the Commission and staff believe a level of consistent
use of the kitchen/diner would be appropriate. In addition the
diner could be an amenity to park users similar to the concession
stand at Iselin Park. Therefore, staff is suggesting that the
lease between the Center and the food operator model the lease used
at Iselin Park.
The Board believes that a benefit to the Center and the schools is
derived by using the kitchen as a learning lab. The schools would
be able to offer food classes and local students could be hired to
work the diner thus learning important entrepreneurial skills.
This was the original intent for including a diner in the building.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of the amendment to the Youth Center final SPA approval
with the following conditions:
1. All activities shall be either of a public nature, or sponsored
by the Youth Center to generate funds for the Center.
2. The City and County shall not be required to pay rent for the
use of the building.
3. The kitchen will operate as an accessory use to the Youth
Center as a year-round learning center for vocational courses for
students of the school district. The lease for the operator of the

during the school year, provision of food for Aspen Youth Center
youth programs at cost, establishment of a reasonable price
structure for affordability by youth and families, provision of a
percentage of revenues to the Aspen Youth Center if any special
events are catered either in the Center or outside the Center,
operation of the kitchen should be an educational extension of the
schools to the greatest extent possible, and no advertising as a
retail food establishment other than on -site signage consistent
with the City sign code.
4. The City Attorney's office may have the right to review any
leases or uses of the Center by other users.
5. The fee structure to use the Center shall be similar to the
City Recreation Department fees and Colorado Mountain College fees.

Council and in the application shall be adhered to and considered
conditions of approval unless otherwise amended by specific

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Director
DATE: November 1, 1994
RE: Aspen Youth Center - Specially Planned Area Amendment -
Continued Public Hearing
SUMMARY: The Commission tabled the public hearing of the Youth
Center in order for the applicants to refine their request for an
amendment to the final SPA development approval.
Of primary concern to the Commission, was the year round use
restaurant nature of the kitchen. In addition, the Commission was
concerned about the control of for -profit use of the building and
insurances that the uses are community oriented.
Perry Harvey has provided an attachment for Commission review. The
attachment makes additional representations that assures that no
for -profit or commerical activities shall occur in the Center
unless those activities are sponsored by the Youth Center and
intended to raise funds for the Center. In addition, Perry's
rletter spells out many caveats for the use of the kitchen. Most
importantly, this new language will be included in the master lease
between Aspen/Pitkin County and the Youth Center and all activities
and user of the kitchen must be approved by Aspen/Pitkin County
rAttorney's offices.
Although use of the Center does not become black and white with
this new proposal, staff believes that it goes further to ensure
more community usage of the building. The ability for the City and
County to review the uses of the building via the master lease
reduces the potential for abuse of the building by an overzealous
Board or restauranteur.
Staff will provide final lease language as an information item to
the Commission when it has been amended by both parties.
The majority of this memo has not changed although the conditions
of approval have been amended to reflect the new information from
Mr. Harvey.
APPLICANT: Aspen Youth Center Board of Directors, as represented
by Perry Harvey
LOCATION: Rio Grande Property
ZONING: Public with a Specially Planned Area (SPA) Overlay
l
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The Aspen Youth Center Board (the Board)
requests to amend the final SPA plan that was approved for the
development of the Youth Center (Center). The Board requests to
expand the permitted uses in the building beyond only youth
oriented activities and to provide a building for community
oriented activities and to activate the kitchen on a year-round
basis.
Please see attached application, and the new information dated
October 26, 1994, exhibit A.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Please see attached referral comments from the
City Attorney, County Manager, and the Recreation Department,
exhibit B.
STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-7-804 E.2. - modifications
to the final development plan shall be approved pursuant to the
terms and procedures of the final development plan, provided that
the proposed change is consistent with or an enhancement of the
approved final development plan. If the proposed change is not
consistent with the approved final development plan, the amendment
shall be subject to both conceptual and final development plan
review and approval.
Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the
approved final development plan. However, due to the
representations made during the SPA review in 1990, the proposed
amendments are not insubstantial in nature and require a full
review by the Commission and City Council.
A. Background - The Youth Center received conceptual and final SPA
approval in 1990 for the development of a center for youth oriented
activities on the Rio Grande property. The Rio Grande property is
zoned public with a SPA overlay which required the four step review
process of the development proposal.
During the review, the proponents of the Youth Center presented a
development proposal for a building that would serve as a focal
point of activities for resident and visiting youth of the
community. During the review, suggestions were made by staff,
Commission members and Council members to enlarge the scope of
activities offered in the center. The applicants consistently
responded that the building was intended only for the youth and

goals for the center.
Final approval of the Youth Center also included a full restaurant -

The Center has been open for approximately 3 years. Within that

When the Center is not being used or has been programmed for youth

maintenance costs associated with the facility. In addition, the
new information that was provided by the applicant states that the
Center will be used for non-profit activities unless it is an event

Center.
During the summer months, the applicants propose to lease the
kitchen to an operator that will employ youth, provide box lunches

ins particularly people using the Rio Grande playing field May
through September. During the rest of the year, the kitchen will
only be available for cooking classes, an accessory use to other
activities using the Center, staging area for Aspen School District
classes, or for private functions.
C. Staff Response - The property that the Youth Center occupies
is owned by the both the City and the County. The City and County
are in the process of finalizing a land exchange with a result that
the Center will occupy only City property. The Council has

consented to the submittal of this application. The County has
consented to the expansion of uses in the Center provided the
activities area of a public nature such as sponsored by
organizations established under 501(c)3.
The property is zoned public. Please see the permitted and
conditional uses in the public zone, exhibit C. The proposed
activities in the Center, that are more "community center" oriented
are consistent with the intent of the public zone district. It is
imperative that recreation classes, for example, have a fee
structure similar, if not equal, to those that are offered by the
City Recreation Department and/or CMC. Due to the competitive
nature established by the Growth Management System and the
exactions that are paid by for profit entities, activities that are
also offered by private athletic clubs cannot use the Center with
similar or slightly lower fees than the private clubs.
Of note are the referral comments from the Recreation Department.
The Recreation Department would be able to orchestrate some
activities out of the Center, but since most of the City sponsored
recreation programs are already subsidized paying rent would pose
a burden. Because the City and County lease the publically owned
property to the Center for a nominal amount, staff would recommend
that the City should not have to pay to use the building.
The use of the kitchen as a concession stand in the summer should
be operated similar to the Recreation Department's operation of
the concession stand at Iselin Park. A restaurant is not a
permitted or conditional use in the Public zone district. However,
accessory uses are allowed and if the kitchen operated as an
accessory use to the activities of the Center and the Rio Grande
park then staff would find this appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the
Youth Center final SPA approval with the following conditions:
1. All activities shall be W a public nature or sponsored by the
Youth Center to rd4s-� funds for the Center.
2. The City and County shall not be required to pa�rentfor

Dear Mayor Bennett and Council Members:
Pitkin County is aware of the application being made by the Aspen Youth Center Board of
Directors for a substantial amendment to the SPA for the Youth Center. The County
understands the Youth Center is seeking to expand the uses of the building beyond only youth
oriented activities in order to maximize the use of this community facility. The County concurs
with such an expansion so long as the included activities are of a public nature, e.g. sponsored
by organizations established under 501(c)3. The County is aware that the Youth Center Board
also wishes to amend the ground lease to reflect the final action on the application. The letter
will serve as our permission as land r for the Youth Center Board to process the
application, with the County reserving the right to review any final approvals.

MEMORANDUM
To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Dept.
From: Tim Anderson, Recreation Dept.
Date: July 26, 1994
Re: Youth Center SPA
The only question that comes to mind with this is the concession idea to Rio Grande. In order
to make the cafe a concession stand to Rio Grande does the city and more specifically the
Recreation Dept. have to be involved in this or can the youth center open a concession stand to
serve Rio Grande park?
The youth center makes mention of the youth center becoming a community asset for all user
groups with some sort of rental rates. This probably does not matter to you, but we would not
utilize the youth center if we had to pay for the facility since most of our programs are
subsidized and there are no monies to pay for facility rental. Take this for what you think it will
be worth.
Other than these two thoughts I think it would be great to expand that facility to allow the rest
of the community to utilize it.

CITY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
TO: Leslie Lamont
FROM: John P. Worcester
DATE: August 2, 1994
RE: Youth Center Lease
Just a few notes on the Youth Center's request to change their use...
The lease with the City states that:
The Leased Premises shall be used exclusively by Lessee for the purpose
of establishing and thereafter maintaining a meeting place for youth of the
City of Aspen and surrounding areas that is free of illegal drugs, non -
medicinal alcohol, and tobacco products.
It also states that:
Lessee shall not permit any other person, persons, company, corporation,
or organization to occupy or use the Leased Premises for a eriod of time
in excess of two (2) weeks without the express written consent of the City
and County.
Clearly to accomplish their new "mission" they will need to have their lease agreement amended.
I don't forsee a problem with Council allowing the amendment but want to make sure Council
gets to review any proposed amendment as part of their application.
Thanks.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
THRU: Amy Margerum, City Manager
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Planning Director
DATE: September 12, 1994
RE: Consent Agenda - Permission for the Aspen Youth Center
to Submit an Application for an Amendment to the
Specially Planned Area Approval on the Rio Grande
Property
SUMMARY: The Aspen Youth Center is preparing to submit a
development application to amend the SPA approval for the use and
operation of the Youth Center on the Rio Grande Property.
Before the Youth Center can submit the land use application
requesting the amendments, Council must first grant permission to
file an application which includes City owned property.
The Youth Center proposes to expand the uses of the center beyond
the scope of youth only activities. Especially during the winter,
the center is not actively used by the youth and the Center's Board
would like to offer a more broad base of activities for the
community.
Consent to submit an application does not imply an approval for the
project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to direct the City Manager to grant
permission for the Aspen Youth Center to submit an application to
amend their SPA approval."
