MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Alan Richman, Planning and Development Director
RE: Little Cliff's Bakery Conditional Use - Public Hearing
DATE: November 18, 1986
LOCATION: 201 East Main Street (Lots A, B, and C, Block 74, corner
of Aspen and Main Streets) .
ZONING: Office with an "H" Overlay.
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The attached letter from Gideon Kaufman, on
behalf of Bill, Ruth and Cliff Little, requests a conditional use
permit to locate a bakery at 201 East Main Street. Specifically,
the applicant proposes the following:
1) Change the use of the front building at 201 East Main
Street from residence to bakery (change in use is
exempt from competition and not subject to review since
this is an individually historically designated
property; use itself is subject to conditional use
review) . This building is now approximately 1170 s. f.
in size.
2) Small addition to the rear of this building by approxi-
mately 260 s. f. and build a new deck of about 415 s. f.
on the east side of the building (additions are exempt
from competition and not subject to review since this
is an individually historically designated property and
since there is no open space requirement in the office
zone, the deck does not constitute "dining" in required
open space) .
3) Use of the 900 s. f. rear structure as a residence for
the manager of the bakery (it is presently used as a
storage building) .
APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE: On November 10, 1986, City
Council adopted Ordinance 46, Series of 1986, making a bakery a
conditional use for individually designated structures in the
Office zone and for any structure in the C-1 zone. Please note
that the owner of Explore Books has now expressed an interest in
rezoning the lots along Main Street to C-1 (limited by the area
and bulk requirements of the Office zone) and that we will likely
process this rezoning for Lots A through E in the near future.
Also note that Council has adopted Ordinance 50, Series of 1986,
designating this property with an "H" overlay. Finally, note
that the criteria for review of conditional use applications are
set in Section 24-3.3.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
1) Engineering Department - The attached comments from
Elyse Elliott state that:
a. Parking for the use should be adequate, given the
six spaces proposed off the alley and the availa-
bility of on -street parking on Aspen Street.
b. The proposed 6'xl4' trash area could accommodate
two, two -yard dumpster s, which is twice the
capacity of this use at its prior location and
should handle the more diversified bakery plus a
residence.
C. There is no problem anticipated from service
delivery via the alley.
2) Environmental Health Department - The attached comments
from Rick Bossingham indicate that:
a. State rules require a separation of a food service
operation from a residence. The Little's plan to
have delivery of baked goods to their home on
Snowbunny Lane appears to violate these regula-
tions and must be rectified.
PLANNING OFFICE COMMENTS: A review of the criteria in Section 24-
3 .3 (b) for the suitability of this use demonstrates the follow-
ing:
1) Compliance with zoning code requirements - The
proposed development is well within applicable zoning
requirements. The size of the two buildings will be
approximately 2,330 s. f. , on a lot that would allow
approximately 4,500 s.f. There do not appear to be any
setback violations proposed, and the proposed deck, to
be used for outdoor eating, does not affect the open
space requirements since none exist in the Office zone.
Parking is provided in excess of the code requirement,
which would be four spaces for the bakery and one for
the residence. The trash area has also been found to
meet the use's needs.
One problem which comes to mind is that by having two
uses in two separate structures on this property, we
may be creating a non -conforming use of land. Accord-
ing to Section 24-13.2 of the Code, no such use of land
may be extended or enlarged, which would prohibit the
proposed additions. However, if the applicant agrees
to restrict the use of the residence such that it can
only be occupied by an employee of the bakery, I would
view the residence as an accessory structure and not as
a second principal use. Since this is the manner in
which it is proposed to be used, I expect there to be
no problem with this restriction on the property.
2) Consistency with the Purposes of the Zoning Code and
District - This issue was addressed in the context of
adding bakery to the conditional use list of the office
zone. The bakery as proposed is a commercial use which
preserves the visual scale and character of Main
Street, provided that the restoration plan for the
building is accomplished. We also appreciate that fact
that the open space between this site and Explore
Books, with its very significant trees, will be
maintained.
3) Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses - The bakery
is entirely consistent in character with its neighbor-
ing uses on Main Street such as a bookstore, sandwich
shop and the like. Its parking plan appears to address
the concern that by providing a high volume customer
use in this location, we will cause a traffic problem.
We anticipate that some will continue to walk to the
site while others will drive, particularly those
commuting to Aspen on State Highway 82 who will likely
stop here on their way to work. We suggest that the
applicant provide a bike rack on the property to
further reduce the likelihood that patrons will drive
to the site.
The letter in your packet from Chuck Brandt addresses
the concerns of neighbors across the alley on Hopkins
Street. The principal concerns listed by Chuck are the
use of the alley f or parking by patrons of the bakery
and the location of the trash dumpster. Chuck is not
equally concerned with the delivery of goods, since
this should only occur about 5-6 times per week
according to the schedule in his letter, based on his
conversations with the applicant.
Although we are sympathetic with the neighbor's
concerns, we note that parking is already provided in
the alley for the Forge Building and Explore Books, and
is required to be in this location by the Code. We
cannot support a reduction in this parking which would
force cars onto the street when it can be handled on
the site. We also find the location of the trash area
to be appropriate as shown, and do not want it moved
forward toward Main Street.
PLANNING OFFICE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends
that you grant a conditional use permit to the applicants for the
proposed bakery and accessory residence, subject to the following
conditions:
1) The applicant will address the delivery of goods
problem to the satisfaction of the Environmental Health
Department prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for the bakery.
2) The applicant shall covenant, in the conditional use
permit, that the residence shall only be occupied by an
employee of the bakery and shall not be separated from
the bakery through lease or sale.
3) The applicant shall provide a bike rack on the property
to reduce the potential for driving to the site.
4) The applicant shall, in all other respects, adhere to
the representations and commitments contained in this
application, including but not limited to the restora-
tion of the historic structure, the operation of the
bakery, the dimensions of the structures, the dimen-
sions and location of the trash and parking areas and
the occupancy of the residence. Any modification,
enlargement or expansion of the use shall be subject to
review under the provisions of Section 24-3 .3 (c) .
5) The applicant shall, prior to the end of 1986, meet
with HPC to review the technique by which the applicant
intends to remove the stucco from this building.
Actual removal shall not be a condition of occupancy of
the bakery, but shall be accomplished within six months
of the date of that occupancy. Should the applicant
determine that the stucco cannot be removed without
excessive damage to the brick, the applicant shall
present an alternative restoration plan to the HPC for
their review.

Re: Conditional Use of a Bakery on Lots A, B, and C,
Block 74, City and Townsite of Aspen
Dear Alan:
Please consider this letter as an application for a
conditional use pursuant to an amendment to Section 24-3.2 of
the Aspen Municipal Code adding bakery as a conditional use
to the O-Office District, which contains the site, and
Section 24-3.3 of the Aspen Municipal Code entitled "Grant of
Conditional Use".
My client, Little Cliff's Bakery, seeks to relocate its
26-year old bakery business from 121 South Galena to 201 East
Main Street. Its intent is to restore the historic brick
facade of the main structure at that location, and modify its
interior to current Code requirements, and, thereby,
accommodate its intended bakery use. Included in
this bakery conditional use, we would like the flexibility
for over-the-counter service of such items as coffee, fruit
drinks, bagels and cream cheese, and other associated
sandwiches. There will be no waitressing service. The
auxiliary structure at the rear of the premises would
continue to be used as a one bedroom apartment. While only
four (4) off-street parking spaces are mandated and possibly
even fewer by special review, my client intends to provide
six (6) on -site parking spaces with alley access which amply
meets the Code requirements. The building certainly
qualifies for historic designation which is being applied
for. The conditional use can be granted subject to final
historic designation.
The grant of this conditional use, therefore, clearly
complies with the requirements of the zoning Code, and is
consistent with the objectives and purposes of the Code and
zoning district in which it is situated as evidenced by the
recent amendment adding bakery to the list of conditional
uses in the O-Office District.
The intention of the O-Office Zone is: "to provide for
the establishment of offices and associated commercial uses
in such a way as to preserve the visual scale and character
•
•
Mr. Alan Richman
October 17, 1986
Page 2
of formerly residential areas that are now adjacent to
commercial and business areas, and along Main Street and
other high volume thoroughfares". Section 24-3.2, Aspen
Municipal Code.
The Little's use of the proposed site as a bakery is a
commercial use which preserves the present scale and
character of the structure, yet accomplishes a much needed
"cosmetic" improvement.
The surrounding uses include commercial retail to the
North and East and Paepke Park to the West. The residential
structure to the South will be buffered from the subject
structures by way of the parking area and alley. The
proposed bakery use is compatible with the surrounding uses
in that it will be open to the public during regular retail
hours consistent with the surrounding commercial uses, and
operate without disturbing the neighbors. In addition, the
use does not duplicate any of the other surrounding
commercial uses. Clearly, this location is replete with
commercial establishments which serve the permanent
population, either directly or in support of their tourist
based businesses. The block containing these premises also
contains the In And Out House, a food preparation and food
service business aimed primarily at the permanent population
of Aspen. There can be no doubt that a community bakery
would be compatible with surrounding uses and, in fact, a
similar use in the form of the Mesa Store Bakery existed for
many years just down the street from this proposed location.
The impact on traffic should be minimal. In addition,
the provision of six (6) off-street parking spaces should
alleviate any concerns about additional traffic problems, and
this relatively central location should find much of the
traffic to be pedestrian.
In consideration of the foregoing facts, I believe that
the conditional use sought for this location to be most
appropriate and consistent with the objectives and purposes
of the zoning Code and appropriate for receiving approval as
a conditional use. Naturally, if you have any concerns or
questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact
me.
Very truly yours,

I appreciated receiving the information you provided to me last
week concerning the various deliveries to Little Cliff's Bakery and the
manner in which they will be made at the proposed location at the
corner of Main Street and Aspen Avenue.
As I mentioned to you, our clients, Mat and Kay Bucksbaum, are
concerned about noise, dust, traffic and parking considerations
stemming from the proposed use by the Little's of the three lots across
the alley from Mr. and Mrs. Buckbaum's residence. You indicated, after
a conversation with Bill Little, that deliveries would be made to the
bakery as follows:
Cisco/Noble Twice a week from the alley
in late morning or early
afternoon;
Aspen Dairy Three times a week around 6 a.m.
from Main Street (since parking
will be available at that hour);
Flour Delivery Once a month at no set time,
delivery point unknown
(presumably from the alley_):
and
Baked Goods Once a month delivery to the
Little's residence on
Snowbunny Lane due to lack
of anticipated storage facilities
at the proposed location.
The above delivery points and schedules appear to minimize any noise
and circulation impact on the residences to the south of the proposed
bakery location.
We have strong reservations about the proposed seven off-street
parking spaces on lots B and C (to the east of the proposed apartment
on the alley). If these seven parking spaces are for customer use, we
• HOLLAND & HART •
Gideon Kaufman, Esq.
October 15, 1986

anticipate that such a use will cause congestion in the alley, noise
from cars starting their engines and arriving and departing and dust in
the summer months as the alley is not paved. Inconvenience to the res-
idential owners and their caretakers will also occur as they utilize
the alley for ingress and egress to and from their garages and off-
street parking areas off of the alley.
We believe the alley should constitute a "buffer", as you sug-
gested in your rezoning application, between the commercial uses on the
north side of the block (along Main street) and the residences located
on the south side of the block. If the off-street parking spaces are

alley is utilized by those coming and going to the bakery. We urge that
the off-street parking spaces be reduced from seven in number to a
lesser number which will accommodate the off-street parking needs of
those employed by the bakery. This approach would have the following
benefits: First, employees would be assured of off-street parking and
the number of parking spaces on Aspen Avenue and Main Street for cus-
tomer use would be increased since the parking spaces will not be uti-
lized by employees. Second, the impact on the alley by customers com-
ing and going and the resultant noise, etc. would be eliminated.
Third, the conditional use requirement that off-street parking be fur-
nished would still be met.
One final concern is the placement of the trash dumpster and the
time of day it will be emptied. As you know, the BFI trash trucks and
the hydraulic equipment used to lift and empty the dumpsters are very
noisy. When the trash is dumped, it can also make noise if the trash
is comprised of bottles, cans and the like. We urge that this matter
also be addressed by your client in locating the dumpster in an area
farthest removed from our client's residence and that delivery be
scheduled mid to late morning.
You and your client's attention to our requests would be greatly
ap reciaterl.
Very truly yours,

RE: Little Cliff's Bakery Conditional Use
I have reviewed the plans for Little Cliff's Bakery and an
concerned about the delivery and storage of baked goods at the
Little's residence due to lack of storage at the main street
location.
Section 7-802 of the Rules and Regulations Governing the

of a food service establishment unless it is completely partit-

To: Alan Richman, Planning Director
From: Elyse Elliott, Engineering Department

Re: Little Cliff's Bakery conditional use
We have the following comments on the above application:
Parkin
The applicant provides six off-street parking spaces, each in 9'
x 20' which is slightly longer than the required size of 9' x
181. There are numerous on -street parking spaces on Aspen Street
that could be used by Little Cliff's customers. The parking
spaces on Aspen Street are rarely filled to capacity.
This project will have a minimal impact on the present parking
situation and vehicular circulation.
Trash and Delivery Areas
The 6' x 14' area provided for a dumpster is ample for this
facility. In their prior location, Little Cliff's used a two -
yard dumpster which is 6' x 41. The trash generated in the new
location will probably increase due to an increase in bakery
items and the addition of a residence. However, the area could
easily accomodate two two -yard dumpsters.
The location of the dumpsters is easily accessible to the trash
trucks. The other delivery trucks can service this business from
the alley.

Re: Little Cliff's Bakery
Dear Alan:
CHARLES T. BRANDT
I sent to you a copy of my October 25, 1986 letter to Gideon
Kaufman regarding the Little Cliff's Bakery Conditional Use
Application. As expressed in that letter, of primary concern to
our client, Matt and Kay Bucksbaum, owners of the residence
across the alley from the proposed bakery, is the traffic circu-
lation and resultant noise resulting from the proposed use. We
recognize that the Code requires off-street parking for such a
use, but our clients urge that the number of off-street parking
spaces be kept to a minimum. The alley should truly be a buffer
between the proposed commercial uses on the north side of the
block and the residences on the south side. We ask that the
Planning Office consider this aspect of the application and mini-
mize the number of off-street parking spaces to a number of park-
ing spaces equal to the number of employees at Little Cliff's.
In this regard, Section 24-4.5(c) permits the Planning Commission
to allow as few as 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. We would
like to see the minimum number of parking spaces supported by the
Planning Office and adopted by the Planning Commission, This
approach would satisfy one of the criteria for suitability of a
conditional use under Section 23-3.3(b), namely that the proposed
use is designed to be compatible with the surrounding land uses
and uses in the area.
Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Little Cliff's Bakery - Rezoning or Code Amendment
DATE : November 4, 1986
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicants, Bill, Cliff and Ruth Little request
your final approval of Ordinances 46 and 50. The effect of these
ordinances will be to amend the conditional uses in the Office and
C-1 zones to include bakery and rezone 201 E. Main Street by the
addition of an "H " overlay.
The Planning Office and Planning Commission recommend these
actions, for the reasons given with the body of this memo.
BACKGROUND: A bakery is a use allowed by right in the CC zone
and nowhere else in the use tables. Given the way a bakery is
likely to operate in Aspen, it could be expected that it would
serve both local residents and tourists. Therefore, logical zone
districts in which a bakery might be added as a permitted or
conditional use would include the C-1 zone, the Office zone, and
possibly the NC zone. Given the location of the property in
question, the only reasonable zones for evaluation at this time
are C-1 and Office.
The applicant originally intended to approach this issue simply
by requesting amendment of the use tables in the office zone to
include the bakery use. However, at the urging of the Planning
Office, the applicant has asked in the alternative for rezoning
the property to C-1 and amending the C-1 use table to include
bakery. In making this suggestion, we asked the applicant to
contact his neighbor, the owner of Explore Books, to join in the
rezoning. Our reasoning was that we had recently rezoned the
Moore Building on the corner of Monarch and Aspen to C-1 (limited
by the area and bulk requirements of the Office zone) . By adding
Explore Books to the rezoning, the entire block on Main from
Monarch to Aspen would be zoned C-1, (limited by the area and
bulk requirements of the office zone) . Unfortunately, we learned
that Explore Books wished to join in the rezoning subsequent to
P&Z's action in favor of the amendment of the conditional use
tables. Therefore, we are proceeding with the use table amendment
for the Office and C-1 zones and recommend that any rezoning to
C-1 be done as a follow up action to insure that proper noticing
of the zoning map change preceeds any action we take.
PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Because of the nature of this application,
involving an amendment to the use tables and possible rezoning of
the property, there are two basic questions which should be
answered at this time:
1. Is a bakery an appropriate use in this location?
2. Is a bakery an acceptable use in any location zoned C-1
or 0?
In deciding whether the bakery is an appropriate use of this
corner, the following items should be evaluated:
o Compatibility with surrounding uses;
o Expected generation of traffic;
o Availability of parking;
o Access for delivery vehicles; and
o Other impacts from proposed operation.
The bakery use appears to be compatible with neighboring uses.
The block from Monarch to Aspen on Main has a mix of local and
tourist serving uses, including a sandwich shop, clothes stores,
a book store and the like. The fact that Paepcke Park is directly
across from this corner creates a natural "edge" for the commercial
portion of Main Street, allowing the transition to its more
residential/lodging/office character as one heads out of town.
This edge appears to have been recognized in designating this as
the most westerly block of Main Street which was included in the
"Central Commercial Area" of the 1973 Aspen Land Use Plan.
While we would prefer to have such a high volume customer operation
within closer walking distance of the core, we recognize the cost
of such locations and the need for this use to look elsewhere.
In favor of this location is the availability of on -street
parking on Main and Aspen Streets and the owner's willingness to
provide 6 spaces off the alley. We are unclear at this time how
delivery vehicles would serve the bakery, but feel that these and
other impacts can be well addressed in a conditional use review.
As regard the acceptability of the use in the C-1 or 0 zones, we
note that the intent of the C-1 zone is for "commercial uses
which are not primarily oriented toward serving the tourist
population." This use is clearly consistent with the stated
intent of the zone, and with the uses already permitted in the
zone such as bookstore, camera shop, jewelry store and similar
retail outlets. The Office zone on the other hand allows f or
limited commercial uses (generally those which historically have
appeared on Main St.) which can preserve the visual scale and
2
character of what were formerly residential areas along Main
Street. The bakery would be consistent with this concept since
the Mesa Store was once a bakery and since the applicant has
agreed to limit the site's area and bulk requirements to those o
the office zone, even if it is rezoned to C-1. Further, adding
the bakery to the list of conditional uses is consistent with the
policy of the Historic Preservation Element to expand the uses to
which historic structures can be put.
The applicant also requests designation of this structure with an
"H" overlay. This designation provides the applicant with the
ability to change the use of the structure from residential to
commercial and, if necessary, to expand it, without competing
under GMP. Given the significance of the building which is found
within its present stucco shell, and the applicant's intent to
restore it, it is recommended that this rezoning be approved.
In summary then, it is the Planning Office's opinion that:
1. Some type of bakery appears to be a reasonable use of
this corner (provided its site specific impacts can be
addressed in the context of a conditional use review) ;
2. A bakery is a use which could be included in either the
C-1 or Office zones; and
3. 201 Main Street should be designated with an "H" overlay.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE VOTE: Seven in favor, none against.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to adopt on 2nd reading Ordinance 46 and 50.

EXHIBIT "A"
Application is hereby made for the rezoning of 201 East
Main Street, Aspen, Colorado (Lots A and B, Block 74, City
and Townsite of Aspen), from O-Office to C-1 Commercial, and
the concurrent amendment of the permitted uses in the C-1
Zone to include bakery use. In the alternative, the
Applicant requests an amendment of the conditional uses in
the O-Office Zone to include bakery use, and the inclusion of
this Application in the conditional use process set forth in
Section 24-3.3 of the Aspen Municipal Code.
Bill, Cliff and Ruth Little are the owners of Little
Cliff's Bakery which is presently located at 121 South
Galena, Aspen, Colorado. Since opening its doors to business
26 years ago, Little Cliff's Bakery has successfully operated
at its original location, as a responsible and contributing
member of Aspen's economic community. Faced with the loss of
that location, a search was commenced for an economically
viable site which would permit Little Clitt's Bakery to
continue to serve the Aspen community. That search has
identified the stucco structure on the Southeast corner of
Main and Aspen Streets as suitable for this purpose. The
existing structure would undergo restoration and interior
modification. The site will provide for seven (7) on -site
parking spaces, in addition to the available street parking.
Unfortunately, the O-Office zoning of the proposed site does
- 1 -
not permit Little Cliff's intended bakery use.
The only zone which permits a bakery use is the
Commercial Core. However, the Commercial Core Zone is
intended to address the use of land in the central core of
the City, an area properly devoted to directly serving
Aspen's tourist industry, rather than a community bakery. A
bakery, such as Little Cliff's, which serves the community at
large, is more suitable at the perimeter of the central core
of the City, rather than in its midst. Therefore, bakery use
is a logical use in those areas at the perimeter of the
Commercial Core
This concept is not without precedent since the Mesa
Store Bakery operated at the corner of Fourth and Main
Streets for many years. The intersection of Aspen and Main
Streets is certainly closer to the perimeter of the
Commercial Core, and more appropriate to a shift in permitted
uses, since this block already contains a food preparation
and service facility. The proposed site is also suitable as
a zone division point since it is at the most Westerly
traffic control light on Main Street, and bounded on the West
by Paepke Park, an ideal buffer for the transition from one
level of use to another. Since the precedent of a bakery on
Main Street exists, and a bakery use at the proposed location
is appropriate, an amendment to the use designation of the
Code is feasible.
- 2 -
The obvious approach for such a change, is to sponsor an
amendment adding "bakery" to the conditional use definitions
under the existing O-Office zoning. While seemingly
straightforward, this three -step procedure is very involved
and complex because it requires a Code amendment, the
securing of historic designation from HPC, and then
proceeding through the conditional use process under Section
14-3.3 of the Aspen Municipal Code.
Under Section 24-3.3, in considering the suitability of
the conditional use, the Planning and Zoning Commission
applies the following criteria:
(1) Whether the proposed use otherwise complies with
all requirements imposed by the zoning code;
(2) Whether the proposed use is consistent with the
objectives and purposes of this zoning code and the
applicable zoning district; and
(3) Whether the proposed use is designed to be
compatible with surrounding land uses:and uses in the area.
The proposal to place a bakery at 201 East Main Street
meets the preceding criteria. The Littles plan to restore
the exterior of the structure to its brick finish, as
depicted on the rendering attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
The seven (7) on -site parking spaces which will access by way
of the alley provide ample parking and meet Code requirements.
3 -
•
•
The interior of the front structure will bemodifiedfor
bakery use to meet current Building Code requirements, and
the rear structure will eventually be used for the storage of
supplies.
The proposed use is consistent with the objectives and
purposes of the O-Office zone. The intention of this zone
is: "To provide for the establishment of offices and
associated commercial uses in such a way as to preserve the
visual scale and character of formerly residential areas that
now are adjacent to commercial and business areas and along
Main Street and other high volume thoroughfares" Section
24-3.2 Aspen Municipal Code.
The Littles' use of the proposed site as a bakery is a
commercial use which preserves the present scale and
character of the structure, yet accomplishes a much needed
"cosmetic" improvement.
The surrounding uses include commercial retail to the
North and East, and Paepke Park to the West. The residential
structure to the South will be buffered from the subject
structures by way of the parking area and alley. The
proposed bakery use is compatible with the surrounding uses
in that it will be open to the public during regular retail
hours consistent with the surrounding commercial uses,
operate without disturbing neighbors,, and the use does not
- 4 -
•
•
duplicate any of the surrounding commercial uses.
A more direct, and the preferred approach for providing
for a bakery use at the proposed site, is the procedure used
last Fall for the Moore property, located in the same block.
This approach requires an amendment to the permitted use
definitions, and concurrently proceeding through the rezoning
process under Section 24-12.5 of the Code to rezone the
subject property to Commercial C-1. Under the rezoning
procedure, the Planning and Zoning Commission would evaluate
the application under the following criteria:
1. Compatibility of the rezoning proposal
with the surrounding zone districts and land use in
the vicinity of the site, considering the existing
neighborhood characteristics, the applicable area
and bulk requirements, and the suitability of the
site for development in terms of on -site
characteristics.
2. The impacts of the rezoning upon expected
traffic generation and road safety, availability of
on and off-street parking and ability to provide
utility service in the vicinity of the site,
including an assessment of the fiscal impact upon
the community of the proposed rezoning.
3. Impacts of the rezoning upon expected air
and water quality in the vicinity of the site.
4. Analysis of the community need for
proposed rezoning and an assessment of the
relationship of the rezoning proposal to the goal
of overall community balance.
5. Compatibility of the proposed rezoning
with the Aspen Area General Plan of 1966, as
amended.
6. Whether .the proposed; rezoning will
promote the health, safety and general welfare of
the residents and visitors to the City of Aspen.
- 5 -
•
The Planning and Zoning Commission then forwards to the City
Council a report and recommendation on the rezoning
application. Due to the nature of the bakery use, the
application of the rezoning criteria should result in a
favorable finding.
As previously described, the proposal is compatible with
the surrounding zones and uses. The access to the parking
can safely occur by way of the alley, and the seven (7)
off -site parking spaces exceed the Code requirement. The
proposal does not adversely impact air or water quality, and
the site does not upset the community balance since the
bakery use will not detract from the neighboring commercial
establishments. The proposal to rezone the site to C-1 is
compatible with prior zoning plans in that the site was
previously zoned commercial.
Since Little Cliff's Bakery merely seeks an amendment in
use and intends to restore the existing structures with
interior modification to meet its operational needs, the
voluntary deed -restriction limiting development rights to the
area and bulk requirements of the O-Olffice Zone, as used in
the Moore rezoning, should satisfy any concerns about the
aesthetic impacts of the requested Code amendment.
Both the rezoning approach and !the conditional use
approach have advantages and disadvantages. The rezoning
approach has the advantage of simplicity, expedience and
6 -
clarity because it avoids the third step. This procedure
avoids a bifurcated, or sequential decision -making process,
which of necessity gives rise to fears and expectations
concerning the follow-up procedures, and can lend to
disappointments on the part of all participants. Therefore,
the rezoning procedure saves administrative and commission
time, and incorporates the very strict rezoning criteria of
Section 24-12.5(d). The addition of bakery as a conditional
use in the O-Office Zone is a more direct approach in that it
affects only the property in question. It does not require
rezoning other parcels or require area and bulk concessions
from two other parcels on that block. The conditional use
procedure also affords an individual opportunity to examine
this parcel for its suitability for a bakery use.
In conclusion, each of the procedures described herein
accomplishes the Littles' goal of permitting the bakery use
at the proposed location. Both approaches go through a
strict administrative review and offer the opportunity for
public comment, Planning Office review, as well as Planning
i
and Zoning Commission and City Council consideration. The
preferred procedure is a rezoning of the property from
O-Office to C-1 Commercial, and a Code amendment allowing
bakery use as a permitted use in the C-1 Zone. This
procedure is not only feasible from a planning standpoint,
but is the most expeditious and efficient procedure from the
Applicant's standpoint.

Re: Conditional Use of a Bakery on Lots A, B, and C,
Block 74, City and Townsite of Aspen
Dear Alan:
Please consider this letter as an application for a
conditional use pursuant to an amendment to Section 24-3.2 of
the Aspen Municipal Code adding bakery as a conditional use
to the O-Office District, which contains the site, and
Section 24-3.3 of the Aspen Municipal Code entitled "Grant of
Conditional Use".
My client, Little Cliff's Bakery, seeks to relocate its
26-year old bakery business from 121 South Galena to 201 East
Main Street. Its intent is to restore the historic brick
facade of the main structure at that location, and modify its
interior to current Code requirements, and, thereby,
accommodate its intended bakery use. Included in
this bakery conditional use, we would like the flexibility
for over-the-counter service of such items as coffee, fruit
drinks, bagels and cream cheese, and other associated
sandwiches. There will be no waitressing service. The
auxiliary structure at the rear of the premises would
continue to be used as a one bedroom apartment. While only
four (4) off-street parking spaces are mandated and possibly
even fewer by special review, my client intends to provide
six (6) on -site parking spaces with alley access which amply
meets the Code requirements. The building certainly
qualifies for historic designation which is being applied
for. The conditional use can be granted subject to final
historic designation.
The grant of this conditional use, therefore, clearly
complies with the requirements of the zoning Code, and is
consistent with the objectives and purposes of the Code and
zoning district in which it is situated as evidenced by the
recent amendment adding bakery to the list of conditional
uses in the O-Office District.
The intention of the O-Office Zone is: "to provide for
the establishment of offices and associated commercial uses
in such a way as to preserve the visual scale and character

of formerly residential areas that are now adjacent to
commercial and business areas, and along Main Street and
other high volume thoroughfares". Section 24-3.2, Aspen
Municipal Code.
The Little's use of the proposed site as a bakery is a
commercial use which preserves the present scale and
character of the structure, yet accomplishes a much needed
"cosmetic" improvement.
The surrounding uses include commercial retail to the
North and East and Paepke Park to the West. The residential
structure to the South will be buffered from the subject
structures by way of the parking area and alley. The
proposed bakery use is compatible with the surrounding uses
in that it will be open to the public during regular retail
hours consistent with the surrounding commercial uses, and
operate without disturbing the neighbors. In addition, the
use does not duplicate any of the other surrounding
commercial uses. Clearly, this location is replete with
commercial establishments which serve the permanent
population, either directly or in support of their tourist
based businesses. The block containing these premises also
contains the In And Out House, a food preparation and food
service business aimed primarily at the permanent population
of Aspen. There can be no doubt that a community bakery
would be compatible with surrounding uses and, in fact, a
similar use in the form of the Mesa Store Bakery existed for
many years just down the street from this proposed location.
The impact on traffic should be minimal. In addition,
the provision of six (6) off-street parking spaces should
alleviate any concerns about additional traffic problems, and
this relatively central location should find much of the
traffic to be pedestrian.
In consideration of the foregoing facts, I believe that
the conditional use sought for this location to be most
appropriate and consistent with the objectives and purposes
of the zoning Code and appropriate for receiving approval as
a conditional use. Naturally, if you have any concerns or
questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact
me.

FROM: Alan Richman, Planning and Development Director kk\
RE: Little Cliff's Bakery - Rezoning or Code Amendment
DATE: October 8, 1986
SUMMARY: The applicants, Bill, Cliff and Ruth Little request
your approval of one of the following two zoning actions:
1. Rezone 201 E. Main Street (corner of Main and Aspen)
from Office to C-1 with an "H" overlay, and amend the
permitted use list for the C-1 zone to include bakery
use; or
2. Amend the conditional uses in the office zone to
include bakery use, and rezone 201 E. Main Street by
the addition of an "H" overlay.
The Planning Office and Planning Commission recommend the second
option for the reasons given with the body of this memo.
BACKGROUND: A bakery is a use allowed by right in the CC zone
and nowhere else in the use tables. Given the way a bakery is
likely to operate in Aspen, it could be expected that it would
serve both local residents and tourists. Therefore, logical zone
districts in which a bakery might be added as a permitted or
conditional use would include the C-1 zone, the office zone, and
possibly the NC zone. Given the location of the property in
question, the only reasonable zones for evaluation at this time
are C-1 and office.
The applicant originally intended to approach this issue simply
by requesting amendment of the use tables in the office zone to
include the bakery use. However, at the urging of the Planning
Office, the applicant has also evaluated rezoning the property to
C-1 and amending the C-1 use table to include the bakery use. In
making this suggestion, we asked the applicant to contact his
neighbor, the owner of Explore Books, to join in the rezoning.
Our reasoning was that we had recently rezoned the Moore Building
on the corner of Monarch and Aspen to C-1 (limited by the area
and bulk requirements of the office zone) . If the owner of
Explore Books agreed to join in the rezoning, the entire block on
Main from Monarch to Aspen would have been zoned C-1, (Limited by
the area and bulk requirements of the office zone) . When that
•
•
owner declined to join in the rezoning, our support for this
alternative vanished. We will, however, evaluate this option
since it remains the applicants preferred alternative.
PROBLEM! DISCUSSION: Because of the nature of this application,
involving an amendment to the use tables and possible rezoning of
the property, there are two basic questions which should be
answered at this time:
1. Is a bakery an appropriate use in this location?
2. Is a bakery an acceptable use in any location zoned C-1
or 0?
In deciding whether the bakery is an appropriate use of this
corner, the following items should be evaluated:
o Compatibility with surrounding uses;
o Expected generation of traffic;
o Availability of parking;
o Access for delivery vehicles; and
o Other impacts from proposed operation.
The bakery use appears to be compatible with neighboring uses.
The block f rom Monarch to Aspen on Main has a mix of local
and tourist serving uses, including a sandwich shop, clothes
stores, a book store and the like. The fact that Paepcke Park is
directly across from this corner creates a natural "edge" for the
commercial portion of Main Street, allowing the transition to its
more residential/lodging/office character as one heads out of town.
While we would prefer to have such a high volume customer operation
within closer walking distance of the core, we recognize the cost
of such locations and the need for this use to look elsewhere.
In favor of this location is the availability of on -street
parking on Main and Aspen Streets and the owner's willingness to
provide 7 spaces off the alley. We are unclear at this time how
delivery vehicles would serve the bakery, but feel that these and
other impacts can be well addressed in a conditional use review.
As regard the acceptability of the use in the C-1 or O zones, we
note that the intent of the C-1 zone is for "commercial uses
which are not primarily oriented toward serving the tourist
population." This use is clearly consistent with the stated
intent of the zone, and with the uses already permitted in the
zone such as bookstore, camera shop, jewelry store and similar
retail outlets. The office zone on the other hand allows for
limited commercial uses (generally those which historically have
2
appeared on Main St.) which can preserve the visual scale and
character of what were formerly residential areas alone, Main
Street. The bakery would be consistent with this concept since
the Mesa Store was once a bakery. Further, adding the bakery to
the list of conditional uses is consistent with the policy of the
Historic Preservation Element to expand the uses to which historic
structures can be put.
In summary then, it is the Planning Office's opinion that:
1. Some type of bakery appears to be a reasonable use of
this corner (provided its site specific impacts can be
addressed in the context of a conditional use review) ;
and
2. A bakery is a use which could be included in either the
C-1 or Office zones.
Therefore, the next section of this memo evaluates which of the
two zoning options is preferable, recognizing that based on the
above two findings, it is our intent to support one alternative
or the other.
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS: Rezoning the corner to C-1 with an "H"
overlay has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages
Disadvantages
1. A bakery is fully consistent 1. By leaving lots D and E
with the intent of the C-1 zoned office (Explore Books)

zone on this corner.
2. The applicant will limit the 2. Making the bakery a use

ments to those of the office us no review over its
zone, preserving the street opeation and we have already

about delivery impacts.
3. This is the simplest approach for
the applicant as no conditional use
review is needed and the historic
designation takes care of the GMP

conditional uses in the zone. review procedure.
2. The conditional use process will
allow us to evaluate the site specific
impacts of any bakery operation in the

3. The "H " overlay will address the GMP
(change in use) aspects of the proposal.
4. If the operation grows significantly in
the future, the conditional use process
provides the only opportunity to mitigate
those impacts and hear from neighbors since
expansion of designated structures is exempt
from GMP.
As can be seen, both options have numerous advantages, and only a
limited number of disadvantages. However, the two disadvantages
of the rezoning to C-1 far outweigh the single disadvantage of the
office zone conditional use alternative. We believe that the
neighbors to this proposal deserve the opportunity to review the
specific operation plan for the bakery and to be heard when and
if the use grows in the future. We also are uncomfortable with
the rezoning without having the entire block as participants.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Alan Richman, Planning and Development Director
RE: Little Cliff's Bakery - Rezoning or Code Amendment
DATE: October 1, 1986
SUMMARY: The applicants, Bill, Cliff and Ruth Little request
your approval of one of the fcllowing two zoning actions:
1. Rezone 201 E. Main Street (corner of Main and Aspen)
from Office to C-1 with an "H" overlay, and amend the
permitted use list for the C-1 zone to include bakery
use; or
2. Amend the conditional uses in the office zone to
include bakery use, and rezone 201 E. Main Street by
the addition of an "H " overlay.
The Planning Office recommends the second option for the reasons
given with the body of this memo.
BACKGROUND: A bakery is a use allowed by right in the CC zone
and nowhere else in the use tables. Given the way a bakery is
likely to operate in Aspen, it could be expected that it would
serve both local residents and tourists. Therefore, logical zone
districts in which a bakery might be added as a permitted or
conditional use would include the C-1 zone, the office zone, and
possibly the NC zone. Given the location of the property in
question, the only reasonable zones for evaluation at this time
are C-1 and office.
The applicant originally intended to approach this issue simply
by requesting amendment of the use tables in the office zone to
include the bakery use. However, at the urging of the Planning
Office, the applicant has also evaluated rezoning the property to
C-1 and amending the C-1 use table to include the bakery use. In
making this suggestion, we asked the applicant to contact his
neighbor, the owner of Explore Books, to join in the rezoning.
Our reasoning was that we had recently rezoned the Moore Building
on the corner of Monarch and Aspen to C-1 (limited by the area
and bulk requirements of the office zone) . If the owner of
Explore Books agreed to join in the rezoning, the entire block on
Main from Monarch to Aspen would have been zoned C-1, (limited by
the area and bulk requirements of the office zone) . When that
owner declined to join in the rezoning, our support for this
alternative vanished. We will, however, evaluate this option
since it remains the applicants preferred alternative.
PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Because of the nature of this application,
involving an amendment to the use tables and possible rezoning of
the property, there are two basic questions which should be
answered at this time:
1. Is a bakery an appropriate use in this location?
2. Is a bakery an acceptable use in any location zoned C-1
or 0?
In deciding whether the bakery is an appropriate use of this
corner, the following items should be evaluated:
o Compatibility with surrounding uses;
o Expected generation of traffic;
o Availability of parking;
o Access for delivery vehicles; and
o Other impacts from proposed operation.
The bakery use appears to be compatible with neighboring uses.
The block from Monarch to Aspen on Main has a mix of local
and tourist serving uses, including a sandwich shop, clothes
stores, a book store and the like. The fact that Paepcke Park is
directly across from this corner creates a natural "edge" for the
commercial portion of Main Street, allowing the transition to its
more residential/lodging/office character as one heads out of town.
While we would prefer to have such a high volume customer operation
within closer walking distance of the core, we recognize the cost
of such locations and the need for this use to look elsewhere.
In favor of this location is the availability of on -street
parking on Main and Aspen Streets and the owner's willingness to
provide 7 spaces off the alley. We are unclear at this time how
delivery vehicles would serve the bakery, but feel that these and
other impacts can be well addressed in a conditional use review.
As regard the acceptability of the use in the C-1 or 0 zones, we
note that the intent of the C-1 zone is for "commercial uses
which are not primarily oriented toward serving the tourist
population." This use is clearly consistent with the stated
intent of the zone, and with the uses already permitted in the
zone such as bookstore, camera shop, jewelry store and similar
retail outlets. The office zone on the other hand allows for
limited commercial uses (generally those which historically have
appeared on Main St.) which can preserve the visual scale and
character of what were formerly residential areas along Main
2
Street. The bakery would be consistent with this concept since
the Mesa Store was once a bakery. Further, adding the bakery to
the list of conditional uses is consistent with the policy of the
Historic Preservation Element to expand the uses to which historic
structures can be put.
In summary then, it is the Planning Office's opinion that:
1. Some type of bakery appears to be a reasonable use of
this corner (provided its site specific impacts can be
addressed in the context of a conditional use review) ;
and
2. A bakery is a use which could be included in either the
C-1 or Office zones.
Therefore, the next section of this memo evaluates which of the
two zoning options is preferable, recognizing that based on the
above two findings, it is our intent to support one alternative
or the other.
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS: Rezoning the corner to C-1 with an "H"
overlay has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages Disadvantages
1. A bakery is fully consistent 1. By leaving lots D and E
with the intent of the C-1 zoned office (Explore Books)
zone. we may be creating a "spot"
zone on this corner.
2. The applicant will limit the 2. Making the bakery a use
site's area and bulk require- allowed by right will give
ments to those of the office us no review over its
zone, preserving the street opeation and we have already
scale. heard concerns f rom neighbors
about delivery impacts.
3. This is the simplest approach for
the applicant as no conditional use
review is needed and the historic
designation takes care of the GMP
issue (change in use) .
4. The site is designated as part of the
"central area" on the Aspen Land Use
Plan.

As can be seen, both options have numerous advantages, and only a

if the use grows in the future. We also are uncomfortable with
the rezoning without having the entire block as participants.
REOONNENDATION: Based on the above conclusions, we recommend that
the P&Z recommend an amendment to the office zone to include
bakery as a conditional use for individually designated historic
structures. Further, as recommended by the APC, we recommend
that P&Z recommend that Council designate this site with an "H"
overlay.

Gentlemen:
We would like to inform Planning and Zoning that we at
Nature's Store House are in complete support of the move
of Little Cliff's Bakery to Main Street.
We did offer Bill a space in our new building but he felt
he could do better in his own building. Bill has been in
business for 26 years, as you know. He has gained the
respect and approval of the town and has been an asset to
the community. He has helped young people with an
optimistic view of life. Little Cliff's is not just a
bakery but an institution that deserves the recognition
and support of a town that supports a man like Bill. We
are very supportive of his business and his move.
Please consider that an institution doesn't get torn down
with a building, but grows and propspers with the aid and
support of the community.
Sincerely,
Gregg Gibb

To: Planning Office
From: Gideon Kaufman
Re: Little Cliff's
Date: 8/8/86
Since opening its doors to business twenty-six years
ago, Little Cliff's Bakery has successfully operated as a
responsible and contributing member of Aspen's economic
community at its original location. Faced with the loss of
that location, a search was commenced for an economically
viable site which would permit Little Cliff's Bakery to
continue to serve the Aspen community. That search has
identified the stucco structure on the Northeast corner of
Main and Aspen Streets as suitable for this purpose,
unfortunately, its Office-O zoning does not permit Little
Cliff's intended bakery use.
The only zone which permits a bakery use, the Commercial
Core, appears to be more economically and properly devoted to
directly serving Aspen's tourist industry. A bakery which
serves the community at large is more suitable at the
perimeter of the Commercial Core rather than in its midst.
This concept is not without precedent since the Mesa Store
Bakery maintained a bakery at the corner of Fourth and Main
Streets for many years. The intersection of Aspen and Main
Streets is certainly closer to the perimeter of the
- 1 -
•
Commercial Core, and more appropriate to a shift in permitted
uses since this block already contains a food preparation and
service facility. This site is also significant as a zone
division point since it is at the most Westerly traffic
control light on Main Street, and bounded on the West by
Paepke Park, an ideal buffer for the transition from one
level of use to another. Since the precedent of a bakery on
Main Street exists, and a bakery use is at this proposed
location is more appropriate, an amendment to the use
designation of the zoning code is required.
The obvious approach to providing for such a change, is
to sponsor an amendment adding "bakery" to the conditional
use definitions under the existing Office-O zoning. While
seeming straightforward, this three -step procedure is more
involved and complex because it requires a Code amendment,
the securing of historic designation from HPC, and then
proceeding through the conditional use process under Section
24-3.3 of the zoning code.
A more direct approach is that used last fall for the
Moore property in the same block. This approach requires an
amendment to the permitted use definitions, and concurrently
proceeding through the rezoning process under Section 24-12.5
of the zoning code to rezone this property C-1. Because
Little Cliff's Bakery merely seeks an amendment in use and
intends to restore the existing structures with interior
- 2 -
modifications to meet its operational needs, the voluntary
deed -restriction limiting development rights to the area and
bulk requirements of the Office-0 Zone as used in the Moore
rezoning should satisfy any concerns about the aesthetic
impacts of such an amendment.
Both the rezoning approach and the conditional use
approach have advantages and disadvantages. The rezoning
approach has the advantage of simplicity, expendience and
clarity because it avoids the third step. This procedure
avoids a bifurcated, or sequential decision -making process,
which of necessity gives rise to fears and expectations
concerning the follow-up procedures, and can lend to
disappointments on the part of all participants. Therefore,
the rezoning saves administrative and commission time, and
contains the very strict rezoning criteria of Section
24-12.5(d). The addition of bakery as a conditional use in
the O-Office Zone is a more direct approach in that it
affects only the property in question. It does not require
rezoning other parcels or require area and bulk concessions
from two other parcels on that block. The conditional use
procedure also affords an individual opportunity to examine
this parcel for its suitability for a bakery use.
An examination of both these approaches show that both
alternatives will accomplish a bakery use for the Littles at
their desired location. I don't believe that either
�c�
alternative creates a problem for the community. Both
approaches go through a strict review and offer an
opportunity for public comment, Planning Office review, as
well as Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
approval. I hope that the information contained in this memo
will allow you to move forward as expeditiously as possible
on this particular application as the Planning and Zoning
Commission seemed very enthusiastic about helping the Littles
in a time frame that both meets your busy schedule and the
realistic needs of an ongoing business.

LITTLE CLIFF'S PARK DEDICATION FEE WAIVER
On October 26, 1987 City Council approved the request to waive
the park dedication fee for the dwelling unit in the rear of
Little Cliff's Bakery at 201 E. Main Street.

MEMORANDUM
4, ++h (1,
TO: Aspen City Council
THRU: Robert S. Anderson, Jr., City Manager
FROM: Steve Burstein, Planning Office i�_
RE: Little Cliff's Park Dedication Fee Waiver
DATE: October 26, 1987
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION: 201 E. Main Street; Dwelling Unit is converted out-
building to rear of property.
ZONING: Office Zone District (Designated Historic Landmark.)
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Clifford Little requests waiver of the park
dedication fee associated with the dwelling unit behind Little
Cliff's Bakery.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 46 (Series of 1986), adopted on November
10, 1986, made a bakery a conditional use in the Office and
Commercial C-1 Zone Districts. Ordinance 50 (Series of 1986)
designated 210 E. Main Street as a historic landmark. Subsequent-
ly, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted Conditional Use
approval for the bakery on November 18, 1986. Conditions of
approval (attached) included: "The applicant shall covenant, in
the conditional use permit, that the residence shall only be
occupied by an employee of the bakery and shall not be separated
from the bakery through lease or sale."
PROBLEM DISCUSSION: City Council is allowed to exempt payment of
park dedication fee for low or moderate income housing according
to Section 7-143(7) of the Municipal Code as stated below:
"Whenever the city council shall have determined that a
proposed residential building constitutes a bona fide
moderate or low income housing development and wishes to
subsidize its construction, the council may exempt the
development from the application of this section 7-143 or
reduce by any amount the fee imposed hereby."
Covenants have been filed restricting the use of the dwelling
unit to an employee of the bakery. However, there is no restrict-
ion of sale and rental to the Housing Authority's employee
guidelines; and such restriction is the City's typical standard
to determine that a dwelling unit is "bona fide moderate or low
income housing." Consequently, staff does not support this
request for park dedication fee waiver. We will have the Building
Department's calculation of the tee at your meeting.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to deny the request to waive the park
dedication fee for Little Cliff's dwelling unit.
