Resolution #98 - 1
WHEREAS, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners are currently
considering a land use application commonly referred to as the "North Forty Affordable
Housing Project" in which the applic~ant is requesting a certain number of affordable
housing units be exempted from the scoring and competition procedures of the Growth
Management Quota System and the project be deemed "exceptional" therefore qualifying
for a multi-year development allotment; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3-160 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code, the
Growth Management Commission, on July 17, 1996, made a recommendation to the
Pifidn County Board of County Commissioners to award a multi-year developmem
allotment available only to projects considered "exceptional" based on the certain criteria
considered by the Growth Management Commission during a public hearing; and,
WHEREAS, the aforesaid recommendation made by the Growth Management
Commission was made after considering a certain site specific plan and a representation
by the applicant that the affordable housing units would be "affordable" as de£med by the
AsperJPitldn County Housing Authority; and,
WHEREAS, since such aforesaid recommendation was made, the application has
been amended to include a different site specific plan and an affordable housing policy
different from that of the AsperffPitldn County Housing Authority and different from that
considered by the Growth Management Commission; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission considers the
amended application to be essentially a new application substantially different from the
one originally considered by the Growth Management Commission; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4-60.65 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code, a
multi-year development allotment may be granted by the Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners only after a recommendation from the Growth Management Commission
has been made during a public hearing; and,
WHEREAS, during a regular meeting on January 20. 1998, the City of Aspen
Planning and Zoning Commission requested, by a 6-0 vote, the Pitkin County Board of
County Commissioners remand the "North Forty Affordable Housing Project" back to the
Growth Management Commission to consider the amended application and make a
recommendation concerning the project's "exceptional" status and multi-year
development allotment request.
