Djuna Furniture Store, Conditional Use - Public Hearing
332 West Main Street
July 14, 1999
SUMMARY:
Alan Richman Planning Services, representing Jeffrey Moore, owner of Djuna
Furniture Store, has applied for a conditional use approval for the operation of a
furniture store at 332 West Main Street. The subject property is located in the
Office (0) zone district where the use is a conditional use for any structure that
has received historic landmark designation. Such conditional use is permitted
only after public hearing and decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The property is currently occupied with approximately 1,797 s.f. of net leasable
area utilized for offices and a residential studio unit. The proposal would reduce
the net leasable area by 181 s.f. for a total of 1,616 s.f. to be put to furniture store
use. An addition is proposed to the structure that increases the overall floor area
from 2,992 s.f. to 3,185 s.f. This addition allows for the renovation of the
residential unit from a studio to a 1-bedroom unit and remodeling to
accommodate the furniture store use.
Overall, staff feels that given the location of the subject property along Main
Street amongst a variety of uses, and the type of structure proposed to be utilized
for the store that the furniture store use fits well with and will not cause negative
impacts to the vicinity. The proposed use is in keeping with the purpose
statement of the Office zone district and the general directions of the AACP.
Staff has proposed conditions within the proposed resolution that address parking
and signage. Exhibit "A" includes the review standards upon which the Planning
and Zoning Commission bases their decision and staff s response to those
standards.
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use for the operation of a
furniture store within the Office zone district, with conditions.

EXHIBIT A
STAFF COMMENTS
Section 26.60.040, Standards Applicable to all Conditional Uses
(A) The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
standards of the Aspen Area Community Plan, and with the intent of the
zone district in which it is proposed to be located.
Staff Finding:
The proposed use is consistent with the Office zone district which lists "furniture
store" as a conditional use for any structure that has received historic landmark
designation. The structure was listed as a landmark in 1977 due to its in tact
Victorian architecture and its contribution to the historic Main Street
neighborhood. The purpose of the Office zone district 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 former residential areas that now are
adjacent to commercial and business areas, and commercial uses along Main
Street and other higher volume thoroughfares". The proposed use fits with the
purpose of the Office zone district in that the building itself will continue to look
residential in nature. In fact, it will continue to accommodate one residential unit.
The furniture use versus other potential retail uses is one which, by comparison,
generates less traffic per area committed to retail. Given the specialty type and
small size (compared to more typical furniture stores) staff feels that the use will
not be a destination shopping attraction but instead will be visited mostly by
residents and visitors already in the area. It is ' therefore more likely that traffic
generated by this use specifically and the related need for parking can be
absorbed by the spaces provided and on -street parking as is common in the
Aspen central core area.
(B) The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and
surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture of complimentary uses
and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development.
Staff Finding:
Staff feels that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses in that
a variety of uses including residences, lodges, offices and commercial
businesses exist in the vicinity. The building fronts on Main Street and because
it is not proposed for architectural changes will continue to contribute to the
traditional streetscape and continue to "read" as a residential Victorian structure,
much like the other converted historic Main Street residences. The building
could be practically serviced for deliveries and trash removal by the alley located
to the rear of the property. An on -site solid waste receptacle is provided. The
alley is used in its conventional way and for its intended purpose as a place for
the focus of the delivery, trash pick-up, and access to parking. In this way, the
proposed use minimizes the impact on adjoining properties for these service -
related activities. The abutting neighbors to the rear of the subject property which
face Bleeker Street utilize the alley in the same utilitarian manner for services
and parking access. Staff feels it is important that only the minimal amount of
signage be allowed in accordance with the sign code and that no inside or
outside window signage be allowed so as not to detract from the residential
character of the structure and neighborhood.
(C) The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed
conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts,
impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service
delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Staff Finding:
Parking for the proposed furniture retail use was a concern during initial
discussions with the applicant. The site currently contains two (2) nonconforming
parking spaces in that the spaces are not fully contained on the property. The
applicant proposes to provide three (3) spaces on site with two (2) of the spaces
being in a stacked arrangement. Staff feels this arrangement is workable as long
as it is clear that one space must be committed to the residential use. Staff also
feels that the residential space should be located so that it does not interfere with
delivery and service activities off the alley. Staff's preference between the two
options provided for parking arrangement is Option B with the Third Street space
designated for the residential use only. The corner space along the alley
frontage should be designated for delivery. It is likely that delivery vehicles will
back up to the rear of the store and/or temporarily park in the alley in a typical
manner for alley use. Based upon the Land Use Code, the applicant would be
required to provide a total of five (5) spaces for the retail and residential use.
The applicant has bettered the current situation by providing three (3). The retail
use may attract more autos than the designated two (2) spaces, however staff
feels that the on street parking in the vicinity can accommodate the demand.
(D) There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the conditional
use including but not limited to roads, potable water, sewer, solid waste,
parks, police, fire protection, emergency medical services, hospital and
medical services, drainage systems, and schools.
Staff Finding:
There are adequate facilities to serve the proposed use.
(E) The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the
incremental need for increased employees generated by the conditional
use.
Staff Finding:
The current structure contains a studio dwelling unit which is proposed to be
converted into a 1-bedroom unit and the entire dwelling unit is proposed for
remodeling. Currently, the residential unit is unoccupied due the unsuitable
condition of the living space which is need of repair and upgrade. With the
renovation, another residential unit will be put "back into circulation". The
residence size as proposed would be 474 square feet in comparison to 469
square feet in the existing condition. Staff feels, and the Housing Department
agrees, that this proposed use would not generate any more employees than the
current office uses occupying the site. The Housing Department is not
recommending any additional employee housing after evaluating employee
generation of the new use. Therefore, no additional employee mitigation should
be required for this conditional use.
(F) The proposed conditional use complies with all additional standards
imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and by all other
applicable requirements of this title.
Staff Finding:
The proposed use complies with the other requirements of the Municipal Code
assuming Conditional Use approval and issuance of a business license.

Re: Djuna, 332 West Main Street Conditional Use Review
General - (1) These comments are based on the fact that we believe that the submitted site plan is
accurate, that it shows all site features, and that it is feasible... The wording must be carried forward
exactly as written unless prior consent is received from the Engineering Department. This is to halt
complaints related to approvals tied to "issuance of building permit." (2) If there are any
encroachments into the public right-of-way, the encroachment must either be removed or be subject
to current encroachment license requirements.
1. Improvement Survey — The improvement survey is unacceptable, in addition to not being wet
sealed and signed, by not being accurate and complete. A sealed and stamped improvement survey
should be required prior to proceeding with the application.
2. Encroachments — The fence on the front yard encroaches into the public right-of-way and must
be relocated onto private property , or the applicant may apply for an encroachment license. The
encroaching concrete pad and fence in the 3rd Street right-of-way must be removed.
3. Trash & Utilities — Trash containers must be stored on private property and not in the public
right-of-way. Any new utility meters, pedestals or transformers must be installed on the applicant's
property and not in the public right-of-way. Meter locations must be accessible for reading and
may not be obstructed by trash storage.
4. Parldug — There is essentially no on -site parking for the use.
5. 'Work in the Public Fight -of -way - Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and
development in public rights -of -way adjacent to private property, we advise the applicant as
follows:
The applicant must receive approval from city engineering (920-5080) for design of
improvements, including landscaping, within public rights -of way, parks
department (920-5120) for vegetation species and for public trail disturbance, and
streets department (920-5130) for mailboxes , street and alley cuts, and shall obtain
permits for any work or development, including landscaping, within public rights -
of -way from the city community development department. 99M86

flwr area ratio or its net leasable square footage, but does not'increase both can be
exempted by the Community Development Director. The applicant is propcsing to
increase the floor area by approximately 1.93.5 square feet, but plans on decreajeng the

THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director
FROM: Joyce A. Ohlson, Deputy Directo
RE: Bavarian Inn Affordable Housing Conceptual Planned Unit Development.
Parcel I.D. No. 2735-123-08004
DATE: July 20, 1999
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The proposal for the Bavarian Inn Affordable
Housing PUD has been presented by the applicants for conceptual review on April 131n
and June 1st. A conceptual site plan has been presented and the public, Planning and
Zoning Commission and staff have had an opportunity to comment on the proposal. A
number of issues have been raised which are summarized below.
At Staff s recommendation, the applicants have concurred that at this juncture it would be
beneficial to utilize the July 20th meeting to present alternative site plans . which, to
varying degrees, address neighborhood and Commission concerns. The alternatives
represent an evolution of design taking into consideration the oftentimes competing goals
between providing affordable housing, environmental preservation (trees primarily), the
provision of parking and creating a project that is compatible with the existing
neighborhood. The newest iterations of the site plan are included in your packet as
Exhibit "A", along with Scenario spreadsheets that describe each scenario by unit type,
size and employees housed.
Staff feels that Alternative "4 South" best addresses the concerns raised during the
previous sessions; however, the number of employee beds is the most compromised in
this scenario. Staff feels that a variation of the "4 South" scenario which would add an
additional wing(s) to the NI building could provide additional units, while still
preserving the trees on the lot. An additional wing may also serve to reinforce the
Bleeker Street setback by bringing a building front out to the same setback line as the
Bavarian Inn on Bleeker. The applicants have made many changes to the plans which
they will be prepared to review and discuss with the Commission.
RECOMMENDATION: Review and evaluate new concepts presented and provide
applicant and staff with a preferred alternative recommendation. Continue public hearing
to date known to allow time for more formalized conceptual plans to be developed by
applicant and for staff to draft and propose a resolution with conditions.
General:
® Overall site lends itself well to affordable housing, providing infill into an existing
neighborhood with good transit opportunities.
® The density of the project appears reasonable; however, this needs to be crosschecked
with parking and traffic circulation/road capacity.
® The overall "feel" of the neighborhood is not "urban", therefore take this
characteristic into consideration in mass, design and specific building location.
• Additional open space will lend to less urban layout, increase neighborhood
compatibility and increase livability.
® Project is fairly consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the AACP;
however traffic and circulation issues must be addressed.
Housing:
• Preference was to eliminate dorm room type in the Bavarian.
® Units types in other buildings are appropriate and desirable mix.
Environment:
0 Avoid mature, healthy trees by better site planning. Ensure tree locations on plans
area accurate. Avoid root compaction of trees by adjoining buildings/ construction
practices.
® The provision of open space, play areas and useable outdoor space is important to the
livability of the units and so that new residents (esp. children) will have space other
than public rights -of -way, as tends to be the case in the immediate vicinity.
® Landscape plan is acceptable with greater emphasis on preservation of existing trees.
Building Design/Height:
® Heights are acceptable with the exception of the Bleeker Street building.
• Bavarian Inn should be aesthetically upgraded to complement the new development
component and neighborhood.
® Architecture is acceptable, especially with the front porch element. Roof forms
attractive but height variances are not desirable.
Access/Parking:
® Parking space counts should come closer to the requirement of the code. Investigate
underground or is it cost prohibitive?
® Access from Bleeker should be investigated. Avoid alley as main access. Careful
siting is necessary so as to minimize impacts to adjoining properties.
® The access points and proposed street improvements needs to be rethought for all
components of the street system in the immediate vicinity so that safety and an
efficient traffic flow can be accomplished. Minimize traffic impacts on neighbors.
0 Traffic and access planning should assume Main Street realignment.
