Base ViII Aspen Highlands Base Village James Lindt Insubstantial PUD Amendment Hines Highlands 11/8/01 Approved 11/9/01 J. Lindt .f""\ ~ ;, n ~.,~ f""I n NOTICE OF APPROVAL TO: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director FROM: James Lindt, Planning Technician ~ RE: Aspen Highlands Village Planned Unit Development Insubstantial Amendment to Base Village Use Parking Allocations DATE: October 26,2001 SUMMARY: On behalf of Hines Highlands Limited Partnership (Applicant), Greg Karczewski has applied for an Insubstantial Amendment to the Aspen Highlands Village (AHV) Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for the approved parking plan to be amended to change the number of spaces allocated for the us(:s in the base village. The off-street parking allocations that were approved by Pitkin County in the Pinal 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 ResidentlTenantlVisitor 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. t""1 n 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: DATE: / {i~ /1/ 3/0/ , , Julie Ann Woods Community Development Director ..<jj::) j::) ~O ~ Co4tt;, .to", ~D 1I~> SJ If a (J <'0.
