BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Commission, by a seven to zero (7-0) vote, that: There is no practical benefit to requiring the Aspen Mountain PUD project to proceed through a GMQS scoring and competition procedure for the remaining lodge allotments after converting the residential reconstruction credits to lodge allotments at a rate insufficient to accommodate a 150 unit hotel. The concept of a 150 unit hotel was endorsed as a preferable development compared to the previously proposed residential project on this site and the City Council should consider allowing the remaining residential reconstruction credits to convert at a rate that accommodates the planned 150 unit hotel. There are sufficient mechanisms in the Planned Unit Development review criteria to address the issues that would otherwise be addresses in a GMQS scoring procedure.
