RESOLUTION NO. 26
(Series of 1988)
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING AN
ADMINISTRATIVE DELAY IN THE ACCEPTANCE AND/OR PROCESSING OF ANY
APPLICATION FOR A BUILDING PERMIT FOR DEMOLITION OF ANY DETACHED
RESIDENTIAL, DUPLEX OR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLING IN THE
CITY OF ASPEN OR FOR ANY LAND USE APPLICATION FOR SUBDIVISION/PUD
OF LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW OR REPLACEMENT RESIDENTIAL UNITS
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Aspen city
Council (hereinafter, the "Council") that demolition of detached
residential, duplex and multi-family residential dwellings is
resulting in the loss of affordable housing in Aspen and is
changing the character of existing neighborhoods in an
undesirable manner; and
WHEREAS, it has also come to the attention of the council
that the Aspen Land Use Regulations do not provide adequate
standards for the review of residential development applications
for redevelopment of land on which housing is being displaced and
for development of land which is currently vacant; and
WHEREAS, the council deems it to be in the best interests of
the city to review the Aspen Land Use Regulations with regard to
the formulation of measures to mitigate displacement and to
require the provision of on-site affordable housing within all
new residential developments; and
WHEREAS, the Council has before it Ordinance No. 31 (series
of 1988), providing for the imposition of an administrative delay
in the acceptance of new applications and/or processing of any
not vested application for a building permit for demolition of
any multi-family residential structure in the City of Aspen or
for any land use application for Subdivision/PUD of land for
development of new or replacement residential units.
