A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE MASTER
PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ASPEN.
WHEREAS, The Aspen City Council has been requested to adopt a Parks, Recreation
and Open Space Master Plan for the City of Aspen; and
WHEREAS, in 1993 the City of Aspen adopted the Aspen Area Community Plan which
was used as a basis for development of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master plan. The
master plan also incorporated recommendations of the 1985 Parks, Recreation, Open Space and
Trails element of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan as well as the 1990 Pedestrian and Bikeway
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the planning process and development of the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Master Plan has taken approximately two years to complete. The master planning process
began with the organization of a Citizens Advisory Corrunittee to assist in the development of the
plan and provided in excess of 200 hours of volunteer time per person to produce the master plan;
and
WHEREAS, the development of the Master Plan included several methods to gather
public input including a mailed survey to one half of all City residents on the water utility mailing
list. Four public meetings were organized in June of 1993 to discuss recreational and park needs
for the future of the community. Additionally, a specific needs analysis of individual recreational
user groups was also conducted; and
WHEREAS, the master plan incorporates a methodical needs analysis to identify future
needs of the community to the year 2004, as well as a discussion of alternative and opportunities
regarding parks and recreational amenities. The plan also makes recommendations for
implementation of the plan to the year 2004; and
WHEREAS, the master plan received unanimous approval by the Aspen Planning and
Zoning Commission on March 7, 1995 during a public hearing;
