The off-street parking allocations that were approved by Pitkin County in the Final Development are attached as exhibit "A". The proposed off-street parking allocations that Hines wishes to convert to is attached as exhibit `B". The intent of the proposed amendment is to respond to market requests to shift spaces allocated to the dorm and one -bedroom units to the three bedroom units. The applicant feels that the dorm and one -bedroom units are mainly used for seasonal employees that often come to Aspen via airtravel and do not have cars. The applicant also proposes to convert two of the Affordable Housing Parking Spaces and four of the Village Employee Spaces to Resident/Tenant/Visitor Parking Spaces. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff feels that the reallocation of the Affordable Housing parking spaces from the dorm units to the three bedroom units is logical. Staff believes that because a large number of the seasonal employees that would be inhabiting the dorm units traditionally come from other countries, that it is rational to reallocate the spaces to the three bedroom units. The three bedroom units will be occupied by more full-time residents that will have cars and need the parking spaces. Staff also acknowledges the need for short-term visitor parking spaces because of the large amount of retail space, as well as, uses such as day care that require temporary drop off of children and visitors. The applicant is not proposing a reduction in the total number of off-street parking spaces contained within the base village. Staff finds that the proposed application meets the review standards for an insubstantial amendment to an approved Planned Unit Development. Community Development staff recommends approval of the requested Insubstantial Amendments to the Aspen Highlands Village PUD to reallocate the off-street parking spaces in the base village as proposed in exhibit "B". APPLICANT: Hines Highlands Limited Partnership LOCATION: Aspen Highlands Village PUD ZONING: Ski Area Base Zone District REQUEST: Amend the approved allocation of off-street parking spaces between uses in the Aspen Highlands Base Village. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DECISION The Community Development Director finds the proposed Insubstantial Planned Unit Development Amendment to the Aspen Highlands Village PUD to be consistent with the review criteria, and hereby approves the amendment as proposed: Attachments: Exhibit A — Original Approved Allocation of Parking Spaces Exhibit B — Proposed Amendment to Parking Space Allocation APPROVED BY: CJT� Julie Ann Woods Community Development Director DATE: // � - Z�-)I 2 Case No. A 101-01 Parcel ID No. Multiple Parcels Zone District Ski Area Base Zone District Reviewed By James Lindt Date 10/26/01 Insubstantial PUD Amendment Checklist 26. 445.100 Review Criteria All insubstantial PUD Amendments shall meet the following criteria, pursuant to Section 26.445.100, Amendment to PUD Development Order: The proposed amendment does not change the use or character of the development. The proposed amendment does not increase by greater than three (3) percent the overall coverage of structures on the land. The proposed amendment does not substantially increases trip generation rates of the proposed development, or the demand for public facilities. a The proposed amendment does not decrease the approved open space by greater than three (3) percent. The proposed amendment does not reduce the off street parking and loading space by greater than one (1) percent. 5( The proposed amendment does not reduce required pavement widths or rights -of - way for streets and easements. 5( The proposed amendment does not increase the approved gross leasable floor area of commercial building by greater than two (2) percent. G� The proposed amendment does not increase the approved residential density of the development by greater than one (1) percent.
