This request includes Land Use Code amendments, rezonings, scenic review, 1041 hazard review, special review uses, conceptual subdivision review, growth management quota system competition for commercial expansion and growth management unit allocations for affordable housing. PROCESS: This is a three -step review (plus growth management scoring and allocation procedures) requiring conceptual review before the Pitkin Planning and Zoning Commission, conceptual review before the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and detailed/final plat review before the BOCC. The City Council and BOCC have recommended that the Buttermilk application be "jointly reviewed" due to its locational and functional importance to the City. There is no formal agreement as to how this "joint review" is to be undertaken. It is staff s intention to invite the City P&Z .to fully participate in the County P&Z's review process.

It is anticipated that several P&Z meetings will be required before all the issues and items of concern have been adequately considered and a recommendation can be forwarded to the BOCC. This first meeting will be an opportunity for the Applicant to make a full presentation on the elements and scope of the project, for P&Z members to ask questions, make suggestions and get clarity on the project, and for the public to register initial comments. Subsequent meetings (the next to be July 27`h) will focus on specific areas of concern such as transportation and proposed gondola issues, on -mountain improvements, zoning, base area development, design, growth management issues, etc. The topics for each further meeting will be determined in consultation with the Applicant, the Forest Service (which is undertaking its review concurrently and in coordination with the County), and the P&Z.

WHEREAS, affordable housing has been and remains a top priority of the City of Aspen; and WHEREAS, the City of Aspen is committed to housing as many of its working locals as possible within the community; and WHEREAS, over the years, our community has created over 1,600 deed restricted affordable housing units, which today house over 3,000 of our local citizens; and WHEREAS, this existing housing would cost over. $100 million to re-create today, and it represents the most affordable housing than any community our size in America has ever created; and WHEREAS, because the .shortage of affordable housing remains a major community concern, the City of Aspen has created a long range financial plan to add substantially more units of affordable housing in future years — and this fact is not always understood by the general public in our valley, NOW THEREFORE the Mayor and City Council of Aspen hereby reaffirm our commitment to 'the current City/County plan to build at least 716 units of deed restricted affordable housing, including 1,339 bedrooms, at a total cost of over $54 million, between now and the year 2010. We will fund these units primarily through the existing .45% housing/daycare sales tax and the existing .5% real estate transfer tax. We reaffirm this commitment because this new housing will provide homes for approximately 1,400 Aspen citizens. It will ensure that Aspen remains vital and that we retain always the vibrancy, life and colorful sense of community that have historically made our town the extremely special place that it is. We also reaffirm that in pursuing our long term housing goals, we must also keep in mind the wise use of natural open space and the need to preserve it for future generations.
