this case.

extend historic landmark lot splits to the office district. Currently this is

ownership. This is an incentive for historic preservation. Ms. Guthrie
reminded Council there wereconcems about the AnUs, which Council
addressed at a work session. Staff is, drafting a memorandum to outline the
proposals. Ms. Guthrie told Council she referred this back to the Historic
Preservation Commission to see ifthey thought this code amendment was
premature. The HPC likes this incentive and feels it may be extended to
other zone districts.
Mayor Klanderud opened the public hearing.
Pat Hodgson urged Council not to~dopt thisordin~celilltil all information
is in from the HPC consultants. Ms. Hodgson said there may be unforeseen
circumstances. Mitch Haas said this is a good code amendment." .fIaas said
property owners can accomplish the same end with very little review. TIlls
would give more public input and more review. Sven Alstrom suggested the
city look at solar access easements, which cdntrols a landowner's access to
the sun and can also be used as a height control. Alstrom said solar access
should be part of the city's land use code for every zone, not just historic lot
splits.
Ramona Markalunas submitted a letter from Don Fleisher. Ms. Markalunas
said she feels this ordinance is confusing. Ms. Markalurias pointed out there
are two other office zones on either side of the C-l zone. Ms. Markalunas
said landmarked lots are the most historic and much thought should be given
before allowing lot splits. Ms. Markalunas noted the city funded a
consultant to advise the HPC on the various facets of historic preservation.
Ms. Markalunas asked that this review of historic preservation procedures be '
allowed to reach its conClusiob.. "
Georgeanne Waggaman agreed with Ms. Markailillas and that more research
should go into whether lot splits be allowed.I3,ert Myrin, P&Z member,
urged Council to take more time before adopting this code amendment.
Mayor Klanderud read into the record letters from Helen Palmer and Bill
Stirling both urging Council to take more time before adopting this
ordinance.
Mayor Klanderudc10sed the public hearing.
Ms. Guthrie told Council staff does not anticipate changes to the lot split
section of the land use code. Ms. Guthrie said the city's consultant feels the

, lot split incentive is a good tool to deahvith the development pressures. Ms.
Woods said staff will probably suggest the lot splits be extended to more
zones in the city.
Councilman McCabe said he does not feel there IS a pressing need to pass
this right now. Mayor Klanderud asked the difference between existing
legislation and this code amendment. Ms. Guthrie said if this code
amendment is not approved, land owners still have a method to accomplish
what they want. This has been an incentive property owners are attracted to'
and staff has been trying to come up with incentives that do not cost the city
cash money., This code amendment does not increase density, development
right or floor area. Ms. Guthrie said the public and the HPC have the same
goals.
Councilman Hershey said one of the aspects of the histod~ preservation
program he agrees with is the incentives. Councilman McCabe said he, too,
is a proponent of new incentives; however, s~ffisstilllooking at the entire
historic preservation prograttland other incentives., Councilman McCabe
said he would like to see what comes out of the historic preservation study.
Councilman Paulson agreed with delaying this code amendment and
examining the unintended consequences. Councilman PaulsoI). said he
would like to see what other zone districts this might apply to. Councilman
Paulson said he would also like solar access examined. Councilman Paulson
suggested stafflook at the condomiriiumization process to require more
review. Councilman Paulson said the goal is to preserve historic properties.
Councilman Semrau asked when the review of historic preservation
processes will be done. Ms. Woods said it should be done by the end of this
year. Mayor Klanderud said she supports this concept and would like to see
it made part of the new historic preservation review. Councilman Semrau
agreed this is a good program and encouraged staff to apply it to other zone
districts and include keeping solar plane. Councilman Semrau said he would
like staff to take several months and flesh out the concerns.

Code Amendment to Section 26.480.030, Subdivision Exemptions, and
Section 26.710.180, Office Zone District, Second Rea.ding of Ordinance
#24, Series of 2001 (continued from August 27,2001)
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
September 10, 2001
SUMMARY: The Community Development Departriient ha.s received an application
requesting a code amendment to extend the Historic Landmark Lot Split program,
currently only available in two residential zone districts (R-6 and R-15A), to the Office
zone district. The area of town that will be affected by the amendment is Main Street,
from ih Street to Monarch Street.
By way of explanation of the historic landmark lot split program, each zone district in
Aspen has a minimum lot size assigned to it. Anyone subdividing a property must adhere
to that minimum, except for landmarks, which may create smaller lots. Development
rights and floor area are not increased in any way; an owner is simply allowed to sell off
part of the land in a fee simple, rather than condominium transaction. Fee simple
ownership is perceived to be more valuable, and this program has been very successful
for our historic preservation efforts.
Staff, HPC, and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend Council approve the
code amendment. For your information, photographs of the properties potentially
affected are attached to this memo.
Please note that staff has added clarification to the language below regarding the way that
floor area will be determined for these projects. Because floor area in the Office Zone
District is based on the specific use of the parcel (i.e. residential vs. commercial), it is a
somewhat more complex issue than in the zone districts that currently allow the historic
landmark lot split and have just one floor area scale.
ISSUES FROM FIRST READING- Staff has also made the amendment requested by
Council striking the reference to providing an "Accessory Dwelling Unit" when
mitigation is required and instead referring the reader to the lllenu of options provided in
the Growth Management chapter of the Land Use 'Code, which includes providing an
ADU or cash-in-lieu payment. Staff is currentlydra.fting amendments to the ADU
(""'"
.'
n
program, based on Council's direction,to more specifically detailthe circumstances under
which an ADU, rather than payment in lieu, will be allowed.
In response to other comments at First Reading, and following th,e recent discussion on
the 515 Gillespie project and the confusion about how a floor area bonus may be used on
a lot split project, staff has adjusted that language below, under the Subdivision
exemption standards.
In regard to Councilman Paulson's concerns about how this amendment may affect the
work underway on the Historic Preservation Program, it is the staffs feeling that this is
the type of incentive that is likely to be brought forward for other zone districts in the
future, and it is an incentive that the majority of the HPC members support. Further, this
approach moves us further toward reaching our infill goals as stated in the AACP.
APPLICANT: Scott and Caroline MacDonald, represented by Bob Starodoj.

The amendments to this section include allowing two detached homes on a 9,000
square foot lot as a permitted use. Currently, two detached houses are allowed as a
conditional use for landmark lots as small as 6,000 square feet. The new permitted
use is an incentive for historic preservation and is consistent withwhat is allowed in
the neighboring R-6 zone district. This section is also amended to allow lots created
by the landmark lot split program to be as small as 3,000 square feet, also consistent
with the way lot splits are addressed in the residentialzone districts.
REVIEW STANDARDS: Chapter 26.310, Amendments To The Land Use Code And
Official Zone District Map, at Section 26.314.040 provides nine (A-I) standards for City
Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission's review of proposed amendments to
the text of the Land Use Code. These standards, an? staff's eVllluation of the amendment
relative to them, are provided below.
A. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable
portions of this title.
RESPONSE: Historic LandmarkLot Splits are curtel1t1y allowed in two residential zone
districts; R-6 and R-15A. The goal of the lot split is to divide the mass that could be
added onto a historic building into two or more struc~ures.
The office zone district, the subject of this code amendment, is primarily located along
Main Street, and there are four or five parcels that would likely be affected by this
application. The goal of dividing up the allowed floor area is as beneficial in the Main
Street neighborhood as it is in the neighborhoods where the lot split program currently
exists. As part of this code amendment, language in the subdivision exemption and
growth management exemption standards that states that the lot split is granted for the
purpose of creating one additional single familv dwelling, which would be an obstacle to
commercial office development on lot splits on Main Street, has been removed. Within
the Office zone district, subdivision of a historic landmark property will be allowed for
any use, commercial or residential. .
6
r'j
~
,
Staff and the review boards find that there is, no negative effect from this code
amendment and that it is in keeping with other stated goals and purposes in the Land Use
Code. It creates no change to development rights, only an option for fee simple
ownership rather than condominiumization, which has been viewed as an important
historic preservation incentive. Staff finds that this standard is met.
B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. '
RESPONSE: The Aspen Area Community Plan encourages infill development within
the historic townsite. It also encourages efforts to maintain an active, mixed use character
along Main Street and calls for the extension of the historic landmark lot split program to
additional zone districts. Staff finds that this standard is met.
C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone
districts and land uses, considering existing land uses and neighborhood
characteristics.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment does not create new land uses, and does not
specifically increase density since a duplex or two detached houses are already allowed
on a 6,000 square foot lot in the office zone district as a conditional use. Staff finds that
this standard is met.
D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road
safety.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any effect on
traffic generation or road safety because, as stated above, the density is already envisioned
in the zone district regulations. Staff finds that this standard is met.
E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in demands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the
proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities,
including but not limited to transportation facilities,' sewage facilities,
water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is n9t.anticipated to have any additional
effect on infrastructure or infrastructure capacities. Staff finds that this standard is met.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not. anticipated to have a negative effect
on the natural environment. Staff finds that this standard is met.
G. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the
community character in the City of Aspen.
7
~,
(")
RESPONSE: Main Street was historically a residential area. Today, only the western
portion of the street (from ih to 2nd Street) retains that character, becoming more
commercial and lodge oriented as one travels east.
The historic preservation design guidelines in regard to Main Street discuss the concept of
preserving some of the patterns and characteristics of a residential area, while allowing
for a mix of uses. The code amendment would support that goal by providing an
incentive to break new construction down into structures that reflect a variety of building
sizes. Staff finds that this standard is met.
H. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel
or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed
amendment.
RESPONSE: Main Street has been negatively affected by traffic congestion. Any
efforts to preserve a small scale, pedestrian orientation to the area, through the creation of
some more modestly sized buildings, would be beneficial to the neighborhood. Staff
finds that this standard is met.
I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in contlict with the public
interest, and is in harmoQY with the purpOse and intent ofthis title.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is in harmony with the public interest by
providing an incentive for the successful preservation of historic buildings. There has
been significant community input of late calling for more assistance and options for
owners of designated properties. Staff finds that this standard is met.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff, HPC, and P&Z recommend that Council approve the
code amendment, finding that the review standards are met.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to adopt Ordinance #24, Series of2001."

RE:
Extension of the stay on the operation of Section 26.480.080 of the
Municipal Code in regard to requests to de-list from the "Inventory of
Historic Sites and Structures," Second Reading of Ordinance No. 33,
Series of 200 I
DATE:
September 10, 2001
BACKGROUND
At a joint CouncillHPC worksession on February 7, 2001, the City Council directed staff
to develop a "game plan" as to how we should proce~d with the HistoricInventory, as
well as other aspects of the City's historic preserv~tion proram.. Consistent with that
direction, staff presented a proposed strategy on February 20' , which received Council's
support. Ordinance #10, Series of 2001, was subsequently adopted to suspend, for a
period of six months, any requests to de-list from the current inventory to give Staff time
to focus on the substantial task of overhauling the program.
In conjunction with Debbie Abele, consultant to the City of Aspen, the Community
Development Staff has been working to address several goals. These are:
1. Develop objective criteria as part ofthe City's Historic Preservation processes;
2. Inform / educate the public;
3. Develop new incentives and benefits of desigIlation; and
4. Develop appropriate code amendments to improve the regulations and processes
in place to preserve our historic resources. '
Good progress has been made on all of these points and there has b~en a concerted effort
to reach the community for feedback in a variety of ways. Following the very successful
Community Forum, held on August l8'h, staff is beginning the process of preparing code
amendments and scheduling hearings. It is hoped that the new program will be in place
by the end of the year and that the HPC can recommence reviewing specific properties
for the Inventory, based on recommendations by our consultant, in January 2002.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached ordinance suspending all actions
on the inventory list for another six months. The Community Development Department
will send a letter to owners of properties currently listed, as well as the properties
proposed to be added, to inform them of the code amendment process that will be
underway, and to let them know that we will begin holding hearings on their properties,
using the new objective set of criteria, no later than February 27, 2002. There is an

Code Amendment to Section 26.480.030, Subdivision Exemptions, and
Section 26.710.180, Office Zone District, Second Reading of Ordinance
#24, Series of2001
DATE:
August 13,2001
SUMMARY: The Community Development Department has received an application
requesting a code amendment to extend the Historic Landmark Lot Split program,
currently only available in two residential zone districts (R-6 and R-15A), to the Office
zone district. The area of town that will be affected by the amendment is Main Street,
from 7th Street to Monarch Street.
By way of explanation of the historic landmark lot split program, each zone district in
Aspen has a minimum lot size assigned to it. Anyone subdividing a property must adhere
to that minimum, except for landmarks, which may create smaller lots. Development
rights and floor area are not increased in any way; ,an owner is simply allowed to sell off
part of the land in a fee simple, rather than condominium transaction. Fee simple
ownership is perceived to be more valuable, and this program has been very successful
for our historic preservation efforts.
Staff, HPC, and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend Council approve the
code amendment. For your information, photographs of the properties potentially

Please note that staff has added clarification to the language below regarding the way that
floor area will be determined for these projects. Because floor area in the Office Zone
District is based on the specific use of the parcel (Le. residential vs. commercial), it is a
somewhat more complex issue than in the ne districts that currently allow the historic
landmark lot split and have just one floor area cale.
Staff has also made the amendment requested y Council at first reading, striking the
option to provide an "Accessory Dwelling Unit" hen creating a duplex or two detached
units and requiring instead a cash-in-lieu payment. And, following the recent discussion
on the 515 Gillespie project, and the confusion about w a floor area bonus may be used
on a lot split project, staff has adjusted that language below, under the Subdivision
exemption standards.

The amendments to this section include allowing two detached homes on a 9,000
square foot lot as a permitted use. Currently, two detached houses are allowed as a
conditional use for landmark lots as small as 6,000 square feet. The new permitted
use is an incentive for historic preservation and is consistent with what is allowed in
the neighboring R-6 zone district. This section is also amended to allow lots created
by the landmark lot split program to be as small as 3,000 square feet, also consistent
with the way lot splits are addressed in the residential zone districts.
REVIEW STANDARDS: Chapter 26.310, Amendments To The Land Use Code And
Official Zone District Map, at Section 26.314.040 provides nine (A-I) standards for City
Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission's review of proposed amendments to
the text of the Land Use Code. These standards, and staff's evaluation of the amendment
relative to them, are provided below.
A. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable
portions of this title.
RESPONSE: Historic Landmark Lot Splits are currently allowed in two residential zone
districts; R-6 and R-15A. The goal of the lot split is to divide the mass that could be
added onto a historic building into two or more structures.
The office zone district, the subject of this code amendment, is primarily located along
Main Street, and there are four or five parcels that would likely be affected by this
application. The goal of dividing up the allowed floor area is as benefIcial in the Main
Street neighborhood as it is in the neighborhoods where the lot split program currently
exists. As part of this code amendment, language in the subdivision exemption and
growth management exemption standards that states that the lot split is granted for the
purpose of creating one additional single family dwelling, which would be an obstacle to
commercial office development on lot splits on Main Street, has been removed. Within
the Office zone district, subdivision of a historic landmark property will be allowed for
any use, commercial or residential.
Staff and the review boards find that there is no negative effect from this code
amendment and that it is in keeping with other stated goals and purposes in the Land Use
Code. It creates no change to development rights, only an option for fee simple
ownership rather than condominiumization, which has been viewed as an important
historic preservation incentive. Staff finds that this standard is met.
B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with, all elements of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
6
1""\
n
RESPONSE: The Aspen Area Community Plan encourages infill development within
the historic townsite. It also encourages efforts to maintain an active, mixed use character
along Main Street and calls for the extension of the historic landnlark lot split program to
additional zone districts. Staff finds that this standard is met.
C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone
districts and land uses, considering existing land uses and neighborhood
characteristics.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment does not create new lan~ uses, and does not
specifically increase density since a duplex or twd detached houses are already allowed
on a 6,000 square foot lot in the office zone district as a conditional use. Staff finds that
this standard is met.
D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road
safety.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any effect on
traffic generation or road safety because, as stated above, the density is already
envisioned in the zone district regulations. Staff finds that this standard is met.
E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in demands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the '
proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities,
including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities,
water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any additional
effect on infrastructure or infrastructure capacities. Staff finds that this standard is met.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have a negative effect
on the natural environment. Staff finds that this standard is met.
G. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the
community character in the City of Aspen:
RESPONSE: Main Street was historically a residential area. Today, only the western
portion of the street (from 7th to 2nd Street) ret:;lins that character, becoming more
commercial and lodge oriented as one travels east. '
The historic preservation design guidelines in regard to Main Street discuss the concept
of preserving some of the patterns and characteristics of a residential area, while allowing
for a mix of uses. The code amendment would support that goal by providing an
incentive to break new construction down into structures that reflect a variety of building
sizes. Staff finds that this standard is met.
7
(""',
r""'\
,
H. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel
or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed
amendment.
RESPONSE: Main Street has been negatively affected by traffic congestion. Any
efforts to preserve a small scale, pedestrian orientation to the area, through the creation of
some more modestly sized buildings, would be beneficial to the neighborhood. Staff
finds that this standard is met.
I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in confli~t with the public
interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent 'of this title.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is in hannony with the public interest by
providing an incentive for the successful preservation of historic buildings. There has
been significant community input of late calling. for more assistance and options for
owners of designated properties. Staff finds that this standard is met.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff, HPC, and P&Z recommend that Council approve the
code amendment, finding that the review standards irre met. '

RE:
Code Amendment to Section 26.480.030, Subdivision Exemptions, and
Section 26.710.180, Office Zone District, First Reading of Ordinance
#14, Series of2001 '
DATE:
July 9, 2001
SUMMARY: The Community Development Departinent has received an application
requesting a code amendment to extend the Historic Landmark Lot Split program,
currently only available in two residential zone districts (R-6 andR-15A), to the Office
zone district. The area of town that will be affected by the amendment is Main Street,
from 7th Street to Monarch Street.
By way of explanation of the historic landmark lot split program, each zone district in
Aspen has a minimum lot size assigned to it. Anyone subdividing a property must adhere
to that minimum, except for landmarks, which may create smaller lots. Development
rights and floor area are not increased in any way; an owner is simply allowed to sell off
part of the land in a fee simple, rather than condominium trans,a, ction. Fee simple
.. '...... ......l...........
ownership is perceived to be more valuable, and this program has been very successful
for our historic preservation efforts.
Staff, HPC, and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend Council approve the
code amendment. For your information, photographs of the properties potentially
affected are attached to this memo.
APPLICANT: Scott and Caroline MacDonald, represented by Bob Starodoj.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
THRU:
Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director
Joyce Ohlson, DeputyPlanning Director~
FROM:
Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer
RE:
Code Amendment to Section 26.480.030, Subdivision Exemptions, and
Section 26.710.180, Office Zone District- PUBLIC HEARING
DATE:
June 5, 2001
SUMMARY: The Community Development Department has received an application
requesting a code amendment to extend the Historic Landmark Lot Split program,
currently only available in two residential zone districts (R-6 and R-15A), to the Office
Zone District.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this application on June 5, 2001, and
indicated concerns with the effect of the amendment in light of work underway with the
Infill Committee. The Board asked staff to advise them whether there was a way, in the
current code, to accomplish the subdivision of the property owned by the applicant.
Staff has met as a group and discussed the situation. It is our opinion that the only
process available would be to review the development as a "PUD, Planned Unit
Development and Subdivision Review," allowable for lots under 27,000 square feet.
That process allows for variances from certain dimensional requirements, such as
minimum lot size. We have concerns about whether such an action would be appropriate,
since the PUD is designed for projects with "substantial public benefit." The subdivision
of this property is not more beneficial to the community than subdivision of other historic
properties along Main Street. Staff would not want to see this pun process for small lots
misused, as it is intended to deal with projects such as the DRACO 100% affordable
housing application, which has clear advantages for the town as a whole.
It is our recommendation that the Planning and Zoning Commission support the code
amendment as proposed. It is difficult to speculate what might come out of the Infill
Committee, but we do not believe that this code amendment will in any way tie the hands
of that group. The type of uses generally permitted on properties in the Office Zone
District is not changing, and small lots are being permitted to be split off, which is much
of the intent of the infill discussion.
If the Planning and Zoning Commission will not recommend approval for the code
amendment, the applicant has the option of proceeding to Council with the P&Z's
recommendation of denial, or to pursue condominiumization, an already allowed process
for transferring ownership of part of their property.

The proposed amendment to section 26.110.186 is as follows:
26.710.180 Office (0).
A. Purpose. The purpose of the Office (0) zone district is to provide for the

visual scale and character offormer residential areas that now are adjacent to
commercial and business areas, and commercial uses along Main Street and other high
volume thoroughfares.
B. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted as of right in the Office (0) zone

5. Group homes;
6. Accessory buildings and uses;
7. Dormitory; and

use has been approved subject to the standards and procedures established in Chapter
26.425; and
9. Accessory dwelling units meeting the provisions of Section 26.520.040.
10. Two detached residential dwellinzs on a 9,000 square foot lot containinz
a historic landmark.

designation: antique store, art studio, bakery, bed and breakfast, boarding house,
bookstore, broadcasting station, church, dance studio, florist, fraternal lodge, furniture
store, mortuary, music store (for the sale of musical instruments), music studio,

restaurant, shop craft industry, visual arts gallery; provided, however, that (a) no more
than two (2) such conditional uses shall be allowed in each structure, and (b) offstreet
parking is provided, with alley access for those conditional uses along Main Street;
2. Duplex residential dwelling, of which one unit shall be restricted as
affordable housing to the middle income price and occupancy guidelines. The affordable
housing unit shall comprise a minimum of one-third (1/3) of the to tal floor area of the
duplex, In the alternative, both may be free market units if an accessory dwelling unit
shall be providedfor each unit;
3. Two (2) detached residential dwellings or a duplex on a lot containing a
historic landmark with a minimum area of 6,000 square feet, of which one unit shall be
restricted as affordable housing to the middle income price and occupancy guidelines.
The affordable housing unit shall comprise a minimum of one-third (1/3) of the total floor
area of the two dwellings. In the alternative, both may be free market units if an
accessory dwelling unit shall be provided for each unit;
4. Child care center;
5. Commercial parking lot or parking structure that is independent of
required offstreet parking, provided that it is not located abutting Main Street;
6. Health and fitness facility; and
7. Lodge units and lodge units with kitchens,
D. Dimensional requirements. The following dimensional requirements shall apply
to all permitted and conditional uses in the Office (0) zone district:

26.480.030, Historic Landmark Lot Split: 3,000.
2. Minimum lot area per dwelling unit (square feet):
a. Detached residential dwelling: 6,000.
b. Duplex: 3,000 per unit.
c. Multif'amily dwellings on lot between 6,000 and 9, 000 square feet:
Studio: 1,000.
1 bedroom; 1,200.
2 bedroom: 2,000.
3 bedroom: 3,000.
3+ bedrooms: One (1) bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area.
d. Multif'amily dwellings on lot of more than 9,000 square feet:

1 bedroom; 1,250.
2 bedroom: 2,100.
3 bedroom: 3,630.
3+ bedrooms: One (1) bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area.
e. Multi-family dwellings on a lot of27,000 square feet or less, when
at least fifty percent (50%) of the units built on-site are restricted as affordable housing:
Studio: 500.
1 bedroom: 600.
2 bedroom: 1,000.
3 bedroom: 1,500.
3+ bedrooms: One (1) bedroom per 500 square feet of lot area.
f Multi-family dwellings on a lot of27,000 square feet or less, when
one hundred percent (100%) of the units built on-site are restricted as affordable
housing:
Studio: 300.
1 bedroom: 400.
2 bedroom: 800.
3 bedroom: 1,200.
3+ bedrooms: One (1) bedroom per 400 square feet of lot area.
3. Minimum lot width (feet): 60. For lots created by Section 26.480.030,
Historic Landmark Lot Split: 30.
The amendments to this section include allowing two detached homes on a 9,000
square foot lot as a permitted use. Currently, two detached hou.ses are allowed as a
conditional use for landmark lots as small as 6,000 square feet. The new permitted
use is an incentive for historic preservation and is consistent with what is allowed in
the neighboring R-6 zone district. This section is also amended to allow lots created
by the landmark lot split program to be as small as 3,000 square feet, also consistent
with the way lot splits are addressed in the residential zone districts.
REVIEW STANDARDS: Chapter 26.310, Amendments To The Land Use Code And
Official Zone District Map, at Section 26.314.040 provides nine (A-I) standards for City
Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission's review of proposed amendments to
the text of the Land Use Code. These standards, and staffs evaluation of the amendment
relative to them, are provided below.
A. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable
portions of this title.
RESPONSE: Historic Landmark Lot Splits are currently allowed in two residential zone
districts; R-6 and R-15A. The goal of the lot split is to divide the mass that could be
added onto a historic building into two or more structures.
5
f')
I')
The office zone district, the subject of this code amendment, is primarily located along
Main Street, as are the four or five parcels that would be affected by the application.
While the goal of dividing up the allowed floor area is as beneficial in this neighborhood
as it is in the West End for instance, there is currently language in the subdivision
exemption and growth management exemption standards that states that the lot split is
granted for the purpose of creating one additional single family dwelling. Since the goal
of the office zone district is to provide space for office and commercial uses, locking a
property into a residential use in this neighborhood could be considered in conflict with
the land use code. The amendment shown above allows for the subdivision of the
property for any use, commercial or residential.
After much debate, staff has come to the conclusion that there is no negative effect from
this code amendment. It is creating no change to development rights, only an option for
fee simple ownership rather than condominiumization, which has been viewed as an
important historic preservation incentive.
B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the
Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
RESPONSE: The Aspen Area Community Plan encourages infill development within
the historic townsite. It also encourages efforts to maintain an active, mixed use character
along Main Street and calls for the extension of the historic landmark lot split program to
additional zone districts.
C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding zone
districts and land uses, considering existing land uses and neighborhood
characteristics.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment does not create new land uses, and does not
specifically increase density since a duplex or two detached houses are already allowed
on a 6,000 square foot lot in the office zone district as a conditional use.
D. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road
safety.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any effect on
traffic generation or road safety because, as stated above, the density is already
envisioned in the zone district regulations.
E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in demands on public facilities, and whether and the extent to which the
proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities,
including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities,
water supply, parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any additional
effect on infrastructure or infrastructure capacities.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment.

RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have any additional
effect on infrastructure or infrastructure capacities.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result
in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment.
RESPONSE: The proposed code amendment is not anticipated to have a negative effect
on the natural environment.
G. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the
community character in the City of Aspen.
RESPONSE: Main Street was historically a residential area. Today, only the western
portion of the street (from 7th to 2nd Street) retains that character, becoming more
commercial and lodge oriented as one travels east.
The historic preservation design guidelines in regard to Main Street discuss the concept
of preserving some of the patterns and characteristics of a residential area, while allowing
for a mix of uses. The code amendment would support that goal by providing an
incentive to break new construction down into structures that reflect a variety of building
Sizes.
H. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the subject parcel
or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed
amendment.
RESPONSE: Main Street has been negatively affected by traffic congestion. Any
efforts to preserve a small scale, pedestrian orientation to the area would be beneficial to
the neighborhood.
I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in confli~t with the public
interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this title.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is in harmony with the public interest by
providing an incentive for the successful preservation of historic buildings. There has
been significant community input of late calling for more assistance and options for
owners of designated properties.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend Council approval of the code amendment, finding that the review standards
are met."
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to adopt Resolution #~eries of 2001,

FROM:
Amy Guthrie, Historic Preservation Officer
Historic LandmarkJot Split Code Amendment- Referral Comment
RE:
DAT~:'
May 23, 2001
SUMMARY: Currently,historic landn1arklot splits are allowed in only two residential
zone districts; R-6 and R-15A. An application has been submitted to amend the land use
code to allow landmark lot splits in the Office Zone district, which is primarily the Main
Street Historic District.
The code amendment will be reviewed by the Planriing and Zoning Commission and City
Council. The HPC is asked to provide comments for those boards to consider.
Staff has some concerns about the timing of this ainenchmint, given our current effort to
look at our program holistically, overhauling the ordinance and incentive program,
however, the owner has the right to bring forward an application now.
The board should be awarethJl.t, in the R-6 andR-15Azol1e districts, two detached homes
on a lot of at least 9,000 square feet is a use by right for landmarks, so the only effect of
the lot split is tp change the form pf ownership (fee simple ys. condominiums.) In the
. Office zone district, two detached dwellings are allowed on a lot as small as 6,000 square
feet as a conditionaiuse, meaning that there is an additional review process required to
determine if the, density is appropriate. We may want to consider elimina1ing the
conditional use; and making two detached houses allowed by right, as an additional
incentive. '

Agreement for Payment of Citv of Aspen Development Application Fees
CITY OF ASPEN (hereinafter CITY) and McU6Y\qj) ot .(o..,,,,,,iv..., l ",cl
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS: \
1. APPLICANT has submitted to CITY an application for
"Y2.0 l.ue;-r f'..-{c:z \ I' S+
(hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that City of Aspen Ordinance No. 57 (Series of 2000)
establishes a fee structure for Land Use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent
to a determination of application completeness.
3. APPLICANT and CITY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it
is not possible at this time to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application.
APPLICANT and CITY further agree that it is in the interest of the parties that APPLICANT make payment of an
initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be billed to APPLICANT on a monthly basis.
APPLICANT agrees additional costs may accrue following their hearings andlor approvals. APPLICANT agrees he
will be benefited by retaining greater cash liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the
CITY when they are necessary as costs are incurred. CITY agrees it will be benefited through the greater certainty
of recovering its full costs to process APPLICANT'S application.
4. CITY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for CITY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission andlor City Council to enable the Planning
Commission andlor City Council to make legally required findings for project consideration, unless current billings
are paid in full prior to decision.
5. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the CITY's waiver of its right to collect
full fees prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the
amount of $ I, ,2-D b, or, which is for {p hours of Community Development staff time, and if actual
recorded costs 'exceed the initial deposit, APPLICANT shall pay additional monthly billings to CITY to reimburse
the CITY for the processing of the application mentioned above, including post approval review at a rate of $205.00
per planner hour over the initial deposit. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date.
APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing,
and in no case will building permits be issued until all costs associ~ted with case processing have been paid.
