Mr. Barker announced at tonight’s meeting they would provide a check-in on the Commercial Design
Guidelines Public Amenity, then follow-up with additional discussion on use mix and dimensional
standards, and close with parking.
He then referred to p 34 of the packet and reviewed the most recent changes to guideline 1.13. He
added it would be difficult to get more than the two ft specification with the direction to cap the height
at 28 ft. Ms. Garrow stated this ties in to Ordinance 30, the miscellaneous ordinance with includes an
exception for height which allows for Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and P&Z to review up to
18 in to be exempt from the height if it is a decorative element.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if a neighboring building is at 28 ft in height, how much of his
building would be limited to 26 ft. Ms. Garrow responded the entire building would be
limited or the application could go before one of the boards for a review.
Mr. Walterscheid then asked if the guidelines allow up to 18 in, would it not be
preferable to have the height variation at 18 in instead of 2 ft. Mr. Mesirow suggested
changing both to 2 ft to eliminate the difference.
Mr. McNellis asked if the variation applies to a building that may span several 30 ft
historic front facades. Mr. Barker responded this is not included in the current version.
Staff noted they would incorporate some changes.
Mr. Barker then reviewed the additions of numbers included with item 1.18 on p 36 of the agenda
packet and asked P&Z if they felt the heights specified were necessary and appropriate.
Mr. McNellis thinks you would want to see what is around the entry in context. He
believes articulation and variation are important. Ms. Adams stated this is probably
more related to the Mountain Base Area than the Commercial Core (CC) Area. Mr.
McNellis suggested this area be called out.
Ms. Garrow asked it makes more sense to modify this section to be more general and
then move the more specific language to the Mountain Base Area or should the entire
guideline go away as a general item across all character areas. Mr. McNellis replied in
general, he would prefer 10 ft if it stays as a general item.
Mr. Walterscheid asked what part is specifically eight or twelve ft. Staff remarked they
would clarify this in the guideline. Ms. Adams noted it refers to the door itself.
Commercial Design Guidelines – Public Amenity
Mr. Barker then moved on to guideline PA.3 on p 46 of the agenda packet. He feels this is a key item
with Council to ensure the spaces are usable and functional for public amenity. He spoke to the last
bullet item of the street-level pedestrian amenity space requiring a minimum of one third (1/3) of the
requirement. Based on an example of a 6,000 sf lot in downtown and the amenity requirement is 25%
which necessitate at least 500 sf for one of the public amenity space. He asked if the one third (1/3)
amount seemed appropriate. Ms. Adams added the guideline attempts to address an application which
attempts to add up all the little nooks on a property to count as their amenity space.
P2

Mr. Mesirow asked if this was only for street level and Ms. Adams confirmed that was
true.
Mr. Morris noted the last statement of the bullet provides the flexibility to allow for
variation based on the proposed amenity space of the application. Mr. Barker
responded this would potentially allow for a situation where a space smaller than one
third (1/3) of the requirement was proposed and it best considering the context of the
block.
Mr. Walterscheid asked what separates the public amenity space when you have
setbacks and may it adjoin public right-of-ways (ROWs). Ms. Adams stated it will be for
P&Z to look at the guideline to determine if a space is meaningful, useful and accessible.
Mr. Barker asked if there was anything else under this guideline (PA.3) that might be helpful in defining
if a space is truly pedestrian or public amenity.
Mr. Mesirow stated previously it was discussed to have some mechanism to
acknowledge public spaces. He mentioned posting a sign, medallion or website. Ms.
Adams noted there are details to cover hard to find or interior courtyards, but not for
street level areas. Mr. Mesirow feels it is valuable because even street level seems to be
off limits.
Mr. Barker then discussed second floor pedestrian amenities on p 48 of the agenda packet. He stated
they have not yet added anything related to the amount of transparency. He noted PA.10 states it must
be visible from the street, but it doesn’t describe how or what makes it visible. He asked P&Z if there
should be a minimum transparency level of the railing or some other requirement. Ms. Adams remarked
as an example, the parapet is so high at 204 Galena (Gap Building), you can’t actually hear or see people
on the roof.
Mr. Morris asked where the space is accessed from and Mr. Barker remarked from the
side.
Mr. McNellis stated it is another reason why the ground level amenity spaces are that
much more necessary.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if there could be some way to clarify the use of open space. He
noted the picture of BB’s Kitchen patio taken up entirely by dining tables and noted if
you’re not a patron, you would not be allowed to sit there. Ms. Garrow responded staff
is considering changing it from public amenity to pedestrian amenity because the word
‘public’ implies anyone can use the space.
Mr. Mesirow asked if the intent is that you can either patronize or pass through but not
loiter. Ms. Garrow confirmed this is true unless you are a paying customer.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if Council had provided feedback. Ms. Garrow stated they have
seen it at its first reading and expect it to be a topic of discussion at the second reading.
Mr. McNellis noted a patio or deck is an element to energize the street and Ms. Adams
stated that is how they want to treat it and noted there are potential legal issues in
defining when determining when someone can access private property. Ms. Adams
P3

stated it has been site specific approvals to date. The Sky Hotel and Base Lodge were
brought up as examples. Ms. Garrow noted The Sky Hotel met their public amenity
requirement at grade and the roof-top deck was an add on which the applicant
volunteered to designate it as public amenity space. Ms. Adams noted Base Lodge did
the same.
Ms. Garrow noted a public access easement requirement is in the current draft and she
feels it is a legitimate discussion with HPC and P&Z when the space offered is not at
grade. Mr. McNellis stated he would love to see the flexibility built into the guidelines
and would favor the amenity on the first floor. Ms. Adams replied this matches the
feedback from the community.
Mr. Walterscheid suggested in some instances an external access may promote a visual
connection to the space. Ms. Adams replied they want to respect traditional building
patterns and keep it open for the architect to design it appropriately.
Ms. Tygre remarked PA.13 does not make sense. Ms. Adams responded she would work
on the wording of it.
Mr. Barker then moved on to review the Midblock pedestrian amenity on p 50 of the agenda packet. He
stated there are a few instances of this and asked if this is something that would be acceptable in the
Commercial Core. Ms. Adams stated Midblock has been in the code for approximately 10-15 years and
she is not aware of any applications with it. Ms. Garrow noted the only application that proposed this
was the Weinerstube. Staff feels this amenity might need a boost and is proposing it counts for double
the value. Mr. Barker added this ties in with the second tier commercial proposals.
Mr. Mesirow agrees with the approach and asked if a particular methodology for
determining the doubled value. Ms. Adams stated they decided to double it as an
incentive and added staff would be happy to entertain other ideas.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if an owner owned three blocks and wanted to take advantage
of this; would it have to be internal to their project. He asked as an example, if the Art
Museum had pulled their setback from the building next door, would this have counted
as a Midblock amenity. Ms. Adams stated this would not a midblock. He also noted the
walkway beside the old Stage 3 Building. Ms. Adams stated the midblock space must
provide access to additional commercial space.
Mr. Barker asked if a minimal distance should be specified. Mr. Walterscheid is curious if
the midblock spaces would become dead space and suggested providing clarity
regarding minimal widths in relation to the block length or something similar.
Ms. Garrow asked if would be appropriate to allow this in areas other than commercial
and neighborhood mixed use areas, noting the three visuals provided are in the CC. Mr.
McNellis feels it could also be applied to other areas such as the Mountain Base and
River Approach. Others agreed and added CC.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if it needs to be open to the sky. Ms. Adams replied there has been a lot
of discussion on this and currently it is required to be open to the sky based on comments from
Council. Mr. McNellis agrees with having it open. Mr. Walterscheid agreed also and asked if non-
permanent awnings would be allowed. Ms. Garrow and Ms. Adams felt this may be appropriate
to provide shelter and define entrances.

Mr. McNellis asked there are additional Midblock pedestrian amenity opportunities. Ms. Garrow
responded it will be interesting to see if applicants want to take advantage of this opportunity.
The counting double should be an incentive. P&Z and council have purview of this decision.
Justin feels the added weight of onsite public amenity space instead of the cash-in-lieu option
may provide more opportunity.
Mr. Barker then discussed the Mountain Base character area as described on p 94 of the agenda packet.
He reviewed the following items which were new to this version and asked P&Z for feedback.
6.1 – He stated the 15,000 sf value was a quick estimate.
6.4 – He stated the same language existed is in the River Approach Character Area
guidelines and it was previously suggested to copy it to this character issue.
Mr. Mesirow asked what it means to break a lot into smaller volumes (6.1) and was
concerned if forcing separate buildings would impact the operations (6.4). Mr. Barker
noted there are some logistical issues breaking up a building, but it may be possibly
accomplished with a one story connection or something smaller instead of a continuous
mass of volume. Ms. Adams stated there are quite a few instances in this area already
that has a number of separate buildings on one property. She feels it makes sense based
on the access to the property and the ability to centrally locate amenities such as a pool.
She reviewed the lot sizes of the area and determined the average size is approximately
15,000 sf unless you look a one of the larger compounds such as the St. Regis. She
believes breaking down a lot can be accomplished in a lot of different ways which keeps
the neighborhood creative. Factors may include massing, height, materials, windows,
and setbacks. Mr. Mesirow feels keeping the method of breakdown more general would
be fine at this time.
Ms. McNicholas Kury feels this would have been useful when reviewing the Gorsuch
Haus application and others agreed.
Mr. Mesirow stated he still was not comfortable with item 6.1. Ms. Adams stated
options for the building to be considered could include exterior walkways instead of
interior corridors to open up a building and bring vitality to the street. Mr. Mesirow
mentioned the tunnel recently built may turn in to hyper-exclusive areas and goes
against the idea of getting out and mixing. He doesn’t want to encourage private clubs.
Ms. Garrow responded private clubs are not allowed and another tunnel would never be
approved again. She noted the recently approved Lift One Lodge is an example of a large
lot broken in to two different masses.
Mr. McNellis asked staff to consider identifying a successful example. Ms. Tygre
mentioned The Gant as an example and Ms. Garrow mentioned The Alps.
Mr. Barker closed stating the will probably circle back with P&Z in early January for the last review.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if the use of the word ‘consider’ allows applicants to consider and then ignore
guidelines. Ms. Adams stated it is meant to provide items to contemplate while recognizing all buildings
and their context are different. He feels it may be a bit passive and asked staff to consider more forceful
language. Ms. Garrow asked the board to forward any suggestions regarding the use of words to Mr.
Barker.
Ms. Adams then left the meeting.

Ms. Reilly Thimons, Planner Tech, then joined the meeting.
Mr. Supino listed the other areas to be reviewed, noting if there something not covered at the meeting,
P&Z should reach out to staff with their ideas.
Ms. Garrow pointed out the use of colored numbers in the left-hand margin which correspond with the
ordinance. They only called out the main policy items changed.
Mr. Supino reviewed the proposed changes related to use mix within zone districts. He stated in regards
to the approach for the commercial use mix, per Council, they created generalized use categories
instead of listing all the individual uses to be allowed. A table of the uses per commercial zone district
was provided in the memo starting on p 304. They also revised the zone definitions and purpose
statements to be more relevant to current conditions of the different zone districts and provide more
illustration as to what the City would like to see in a particular zone district in the future. He noted they
refined the allowed uses in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Service/Commercial/Industrial
(S/C/I) zones within the use categories to reflect the current era. The residential uses were basically
eliminated from the Commercial Core (CC) and Commercial (C-1) zones. Affordable housing is allowed in
all five commercial zone districts, but the extent to which they are allowed is more limited in regards to
the floor area ration (FAR). This is based on Council’s direction to preserve the buildings in CC and C1 as
commercial buildings. Stand alone, free market residential uses are allowed in the Mixed Use (MU) zone
district, but not in a MU building. It must be a one off residential only building.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if the FAR limitations prevent affordable housing on the site for
a total build out. Ms. Garrow responded probably not in every situation and would
depend on what was proposed. She stated it may if a policy change in growth
management goes forward or not. Council is interested in requiring affordable housing
mitigation for spaces that never previously mitigated. Currently, you get a credit for
existing space and mitigate the net new. If the building built prior to required mitigation
went through redevelopment, they would have 100% of the commercial space to
mitigate for so they probably would not be able to achieve the affordable housing
onsite. The applicant would need to use credits or cash-in-lieu. Mr. Supino added
another relevant, related policy is that residential in the CC and C1 zone districts will no
longer be able to generate credits. A development may mitigate some portion of the
affordable housing onsite, but the development of the units can’t generate credits.
Council did not want to create any incentive for providing residential onsite where they
prefer to see primarily commercial uses. Ms. Garrow noted the change is ratio is limited
to 0.75:1 for downtown properties. A couple of weeks ago it was 0.25:1 and P&Z felt it
was too limiting.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if you could have a standalone affordable housing if it is a single
use, but multiple units. Mr. Supino stated multifamily affordable housing was
acceptable.
Mr. Supino then discussed second-tier commercial spaces as presented in the use mix ordinance and
commercial design guidelines. Based on Council’s direction, the goal is to created affordable spaces to
locally-owned or lower-yield business models. On the land use code side, there are a number of ways
they are trying to accomplish this goal.
A commercial replacement program will be created which will be similar to the multi-family program
requiring existing net commercial space to remain on the property.

Ms. Garrow referred P&Z to p 294 of the packet noting it as a new section within the commercial design
standards for second-tier commercial space. And on the next page, there are some numbers for
discussion.
Mr. Walterscheid asked why CC is the smallest value of the zone districts. Ms. Garrow responded the CC
is where there is a concentration of high-end retail stores and will likely remain this way. Mr. Supino
stated the reduced percentage for CC acknowledges the existing development pattern in CC and the
ability to even provide access to a second story commercial space is not available.
Mr. Mesirow asked for the average sf of a building in CC. Staff did not know the exact value, but
estimated given a 6,000 sf lot at 2:1, would be 10,000-12,000 sf.
Ms. McNicholas Kury stated she feels very cynical and her gut thought is for 2,000 sf rather than a 6,000
sf glass store front. Mr. Supino stated this would be in addition to the street level store. Ms. McNicholas
stated limiting the free market frames this.
Mr. Mesirow likes the approach but can’t confirm the numbers reflect reality.
Mr. Morris asked if the numbers are benchmarks from other communities that have taken this
approach. Ms. Garrow stated no one else has taken this approach.
Ms. Garrow stated in growth management, the alley store review is an administrative review currently
and sized at 600 sf or less with no access to the main street. Staff has carried this through to this.
Ms. Garrow asked if there should or should not be a size limitation.
Mr. Walterscheid stated he can’t imagine how he could present a project and tell you what is there and
what is not. Instead of making an applicant account for what was there and how much is being saved, he
feels there should just be a flat requirement. Ms. Garrow noted it is easy to have a percentage for a
public amenity. With this you are doing net leasable calculations and then determine if it is a first or
second-tier space using the guidelines. Mr. Walterscheid stated even to do the net leasable calculations
on a multiuse building may require six meetings. The amount of time and associated costs spent trying
to de-value one part of the building raises the value on the rest of the building. Ms. Garrow asked what
if was tied to lot size. Mr. Walterscheid feels replacing the calculations with a flat requirement would be
best. He feels the expense is then passed to the person leasing the space. Ms. Garrow if the flat rate
would be on the building or lot size. Mr. Walterscheid feels it is a much bigger discussion to determine
the value.
Ms. Garrow stated of all things going on in the moratorium, there is no silver bullet on use mix. It is a
combination of many things to reach the community goals.
Mr. Supino asked if the hard percentage would apply to the commercial replacement. Mr. Walterscheid
stated he is a proponent of the second-tier space, but he doesn’t want to minimize their need. He would
prefer to figure out an average replacement or second-tier space and just apply it everywhere. Ms.
Tygre agreed and added you don’t want to tie it to what was there previously if something better can
work. She believes you are encouraging people to replace the percentage that previously existed and is
not necessarily what is wanted. A minimum amount of space may be best regardless of what was
previously in the space.
Mr. Mesirow suggested picking ten or so buildings that currently reflect an acceptable use mix to
calculate an average the amount. Mr. Walterscheid felt surveying existing properties to determine the
value would be a good approach.

Mr. Walterscheid asked if the basement of the replaced Gap building could be defined as second-tier
and Ms. Garrow responded it would. He feels a lot of people are taking advantage of the basement
space. Ms. Garrow suggested a 100% of the lot area is second-tier meaning they could do half on the
second floor and half in the basement or all in the basement. She added tying it to the lot area is easier.
She stated it sounds like a lot of space, but is small considering the total sf that may be built on the lot.
Mr. Walterscheid feels the businesses in the spaces are successful when they are visually noticed from
the street level.
Mr. Supino then discussed the Essential Business Overlay zone (EBO) and noted only the NC and S/C/I
zone districts allow for a voluntary rezoning for the overlay to include the EBO. He stated it does not
change the underlying zoning. Some of the incentives would open up use types and proportions of FAR
within the use types as well as some setback changes. The heights of the two zone districts would not
change based on the EBO overlay. His best example was as part of a redevelopment; an applicant could
explore live-work spaces. He then asked P&Z to identify possible incentives which could be dimensional
or related to use. He also asked if this should be limited to NC and S/C/I zone districts as well as tools to
make this more attractive and effective.
Mr. McNellis feels it is great idea.
Mr. Morris asked about incentives that have been discussed. Mr. Supino responded they
feel the most appropriate would be changes to setbacks and proportions of FAR. He also
feels it may allow for specific use types not attractive on its own. Ms. Garrow it also
allows for alternative dimensional requirements without going through a Planned
Development (PD).
Ms. Tygre cautioned staff including the work-live spaces and feels this is most open to abuse.
She feels most will just live and not work. She noted an example in the past when a woman was
going to have a dance studio combined with an apartment. The space was eventually filled with
architect offices. She feels residential drives everything and does not feel it is appropriate in
S/C/I because it should be business-focused. She also feels it will end up like downtown
commercial is currently. Mr. Supino stated they could add something to ensure it is not free
market residential. Ms. Tygre responded enforcement would be difficult to which Ms. Garrow
agreed.
Mr. Mesirow stated in terms of use, he noted shared collaborative or co-working spaces may be
considered. He feel upstarts need a place to land. He also noted a hostel may be appropriate.
Mr. Walterscheid echoed Mr. Mesirow and noted there are no apartments or hostels currently
available within the community. He feels with the proposed changes eliminating housing
downtown will move everyone to the business center, Basalt or further down the valley. He
feels we are focused on keeping business here, but we will lose people. He is curious how
Council plans to respond. Ms. Garrow stated initial conversations also included micro-units and
resident occupied (RO) units. Council has pushed this off until after the moratorium.
Mr. Morris strongly recommend as part of the EBO overlay, a certain very specific residential
uses be carved out as allowable uses including micro-housing and shared work spaces. Mr.
Mesirow strongly agreed. Mr. Supino asked if this included anything that was not deed
restricted or affordable to which both Mr. Morris and Mr. Mesirow replied no. Mr. Supino asked
if different dimensions and occupancy standards should be considered and both replied yes.

Ms. McNicholas feels this may be wading away from the intent of the EBO by focusing on
economic diversity within town and perhaps focus should be on the uses within the zones rather
than the tool.
Mr. Walterscheid stated there are times P&Z reviews properties for livability standards related
to the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS). He would be inclined to allow more of this
type of discussion and perhaps keep the bulk of the development to commercial. He feels there
may be an opportunity for further discussion.
Ms. Garrow stated in terms of livability, staff has reformatted the review standards in the
Growth Management ordinance (p 366, section 26 at the bottom). She asked P&Z to review and
comment if any review criteria or standards are missing P&Z wants to have when evaluating
applications.
Mr. Mesirow asked if a hostel would be allowed in the new use categories. Mr. Supino stated
lodging has been removed. He added perhaps defining it as forms of temporary/shared housing
instead of housing. Ms. Garrow suggested dorm-style housing. Mr. Walterscheid suggested
using ‘seasonal’ to describe the type of housing.
Mr. Supino then discussed the dimensional standards in the zone districts. High level from Council
included the following. Ms. Garrow added staff is not sure Council will approve the decorative element
part.
• Reduce FAR to correspond with reduced building heights in commercial zones
• Reduce building heights – 28 ft max with exemption of 18” of decorative to be approved by P&Z
or HPC
• Update internal FAR to reflect desired uses
Mr. Walterscheid noted currently there is an exception for railing and parapet walls up to
approximately five ft and is curious how this may be changed. He added he likes roof-top decks.
Ms. Garrow stated they have not heard from Council yet on this matter.
Mr. Supino asked in regards to a parapet exemption of 18 in of discretion and it was tied to the
top of plate, then it could lead to three ft parapet. Mr. Walterscheid noted currently it is tied to
the top of the structure which is very specific at this time. He feels it may be challenging if the
rules are changed.
Mr. Supino asked from a design standpoint, does 18 in get you anywhere. Mr. Walterscheid
replied it gets you a cornice. He noted P&Z has had numerous conversations regarding roof-top
decks. He added as you are coming down the ski hill, the roof is another side of a building that
should be taken advantage of and he would rather see it used and planted rather than gravel
roofs with mechanical on it.
Mr. Supino then moved to the subject of internal floor area allotments. He asked if P&Z wanted to walk
through the different allowances. He noted they are all tied to overall FAR.
Mr. McNellis asked for the differences. Ms. Garrow responded everything decreases. Right now you can
have a three story building on one side of the street and in the CC there is a 2.75:1 that decreases to a
P9
IV.A.
Regular Meeting Minutes Planning & Zoning November 15, 2016
10
2:1. Moving out, the overall ratio continues to go down. In C1, currently it is a 2.25:1 and will go down
1.75:1. Council wants the highest FAR in the CC zone district where the more traditional buildings cover
the entire lot typically. As you move out, it may be desirable to see more outside public amenity and
provide for on-site parking. Lodging stays the same in both zones which is 0.5:1 and can go up to 1.5:1
depending on average room size. Free market stays the same and affordable housing decreases. There
really are not a lot of FAR changes in S/C/I other than the limiting the free market for an overall at 2.25:1
to potentially accommodate a three story building. In NC, lodging is removed so the internal FAR goes
away and the overall FAR is proposed at 1.5:1 which is what it is now. The allowable FAR for affordable
housing is 0.75:1 and MU is provided as a table (p 324) because staff intends to propose a value for the
Main St Historic District and another value for other MU areas. The maximum FAR without a special
review goes to 1:1 and non-historic areas is 1.5:1 which would require a special review with P&Z. Ms.
Garrow noted this is the only district in which you could do 100% affordable housing or an affordable
housing credits project. Free market is limited to a 0.5:1 and could be increased to 0.75:1 if there is
equal affordable housing.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if the residential multi-family area remains as is. Ms. Garrow stated Council is
interested in looking at it as it relates to the commercial zone districts.
Mr. Walterscheid noted the discussion seems to allow for more courtyards and he asked when floor
area is calculated for space below grade with an exposed wall area, you are now increasing the floor
area. He understands the decision to minimize the bulk of the building but if courtyards are included,
the floor area will be further decreased. He feels it is something to consider and few people will
understand it. Ms. Garrow stated Council asked staff to run through previously approved project to see
if they could still be built or not.
Mr. McNellis feels the FAR reductions may prevent capitalization of the second-tier spaces. He wonders
if there might be a bonus incentive for second-tier spaces.
Ms. McNicholas Kury feels a walled-in basement space and a courtyard basement space are the same
and asked if they are being treated differently. Ms. Garrow stated part of what staff is working on
includes identifying areas of contradiction and encouraged P&Z to let staff know if they see something.
Ms. Reilly Thimons provided background for parking and mobility, noting consultants hired over the past
summer conducted research and came back with four areas (listed below) representing strong
opportunities for code updates. These are in line with Council’s direction for the following.
a) Incorporate the Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) and the off-street parking chapters
together
b) Increase the use of alternative modes of transportation
c) Reduce vehicle trips
d) Increase the availability of off-street parking
She reviewed a table of code options, use mix and commercial design standards to address the four
areas.
Their efforts include:
• Introducing the concept of a soft parking maximum and basically retaining the current
requirements.

• Look into updating the fee which is currently $30,000. They have asked the consultants to look
into the real cost of parking as compared to similar cities.
• Look to expand the language in the cash-in-lieu section of the off-street parking requirements so
it is more robust in how it defines how the funds may be used.
• The consultant conducted a study at ten different sites across town with different uses
identified there is a significant amount of parking in structures that is not being used to its
fullest capacity.
• The study also identified seasonal and daily parking peaks which may allow the City to move into
a shared parking management system which may assist with building infrastructure.
• Both Council and the consultant spoke to incorporating the TIA into the off-street parking
chapter to push for alternative modes and incentives.
The goal is to create a mobility requirement and not just a parking requirement.
Mr. Morris stated he fully supports the integration of parking with mobility and asked staff to speak to
the allowable uses of the funds.
Ms. Garrow pointed P&Z to the mobility improvement calculations table on p 407 and stated when an
applicant provides their TIA, it is a combination of multi-modal levels of service (MMLOS) which includes
infrastructure and transportation demand management (TDM) which includes the program piece (car
share, car-to-go, bus passes and We-Cycle). The MMLOS and TDM are pulled together with parking and
cash to satisfy mobility units. She stated the parking impact requirements table on p 409 identifies the
percentage of each to meet the mobility requirement.
Mr. Supino added the language creates a clear relationship between the collection of cash-in-lieu and
the City making direct investments in pedestrian and parking infrastructure and multi-modal
infrastructure.
Mr. Morris asked how funds are utilized and if there is science behind which of the mechanisms to use
to achieve outcomes. He suggested maintaining a level of flexibility in how the funds are distributed. Ms.
Garrow directed P&Z to review item 2 – Use of Funds which specifically outlines how the funds can be
used. She stated right now it goes to the bottom line of transportation and parking. Staff is trying to
create a better framework. She asked P&Z to review and provide suggestions in this area. Ms. Garrow
noted per state law the funds can’t be used for operations so there may be unintended consequences
such as unfunded mandates when the funds are used to improve a particular program. Staff is trying to
work through this.
Mr. McNellis is excited with the shared parking program. Ms. Thimons noted there are two scenarios.
One going forward in the new code language and one potentially through an amendment allowing for
existing developments to take part in the program. The recent study identified a lot of inefficient parking
scenarios in the downtown core. They would like to push people away from this using the cash-in-lieu
fee. They looked at locations with large amount of existing parking that could be participating in a
shared parking with the City. The new development shared parking comes in when you hit your soft
maximum. For example, if there another development similar to the Aspen Meadows, which has land to
provide parking, a number of spaces above their soft parking maximum would be identified for use by
the public. Council has asked Staff what it would take to have existing properties voluntarily participate
in a shared parking program. Ms. Garrow stated right now the properties are PDs so they would have to
go through a PD amendment. Staff is looking at a special review with P&Z instead of the PD amendment
process.

Ms. McNicholas Kury asked why it would need to come to P&Z. Ms. Garrow stated because it is land use,
to unwind it may require a board if it is a minor PD amendment. Mr. Walterscheid feels it opens up
opportunity for an existing property and Ms. McNicholas Kury agreed.
Mr. Walterscheid asked if any steps are being taken to direct applicants away from the PD process and
utilize the underlying zoning through the moratorium discussion. Ms. Garrow replied they have not gone
there. Ms. Garrow added Referendum 1 and the lengthy review process keeps applicants from pursuing
the PD process.
Ms. Tygre stated she does not understand mobility improvements and how it will get people out of cars.
Ms. Garrow stated the table on p 409 best illustrates Council’s direction for the CC and C1 zones. Council
has discussed what is the highest and best use of limited land in these areas that are really more
pedestrian oriented, eliminating on-site parking as well as pushing people towards cash-in-lieu to be
used for broader infrastructure. She added in the other areas, allowing for 100% parking space. Ms.
Tygre doesn’t seem to relate to getting people out of their cars. Mr. Supino said the approach is if we
build it, hopefully it will be used because the City can’t physically remove people from cars. Mr. Mesirow
stated you can eliminate the spots where they land and drive their cars and would prefer a stronger
approach. Mr. McNellis stated he was surprised the minimum requirement remains the same. Mr.
Morris agreed and stated there are precedence of other cities and jurisdictions that have eliminated off-
street parking requirements completely and it has worked. He stated there are also examples to Ms.
Tygre’s point noting if new spaces are built, cars will come, but if the money is put into other solutions
there is no guarantee people will get out of their cars. Ms. Tygre is not sure the efforts presented will
remove cars. She feels there are more cars and they are just circling. She added just reducing parking is
not the answer and we already have buses and other things and there are still cars downtown. Mr.
Walterscheid noted the more convenient ways created for people to not actually use their cars, the less
likely they will. Mr. Morris stated if the goal is to make the City more pedestrian friendly, then what was
presented does not have enough teeth. Mr. McNellis stated reducing parking spaces is probably the best
tool available for physically removing people from cars. Mr. Walterscheid suggested preventing cars in
the core during specified hours.
Ms. Garrow pointed out this is dealing with requirements for development and in conjunction with this
effort, there are ongoing discussions about parking rates and expanded no drive zones. Ms. Garrow
stated those are discussions with Parking and Transportation primarily. She has heard ideas from the
consultant on how to manage the street parking resources differently as well as increase utilization of
the parking garage.
Ms. Garrow stated the conversations here need to focus on the site. She asked if reducing minimums or
reducing percentages allowed for parking or something similar was preferred. Ms. McNicholas asked if it
could be tied to use such as no spots provided for restaurants. Mr. Morris suggested eliminating off-
street parking requirements. The majority of the board stated they would support greatly removing off-
street parking requirements.
Ms. Garrow closed Staff’s presentation stating the goal is to have all the code amendments completed
by January 23rd.

RE: 501 W. Hallam Street – Residential Design Standard Variation
APPLICANT /OWNER:
Scott Hoffman
REPRESENTATIVE:
Chris Bendon,
BendonAdams, LLC
LOCATION:
Street Address:
501 W. Hallam St.
Legal Description: Lots H & I,
Block 29, City and Townsite of
Aspen, County of Pitkin, State of
Colorado.
Parcel Identification Number:
2735-124-32-004
CURRENT ZONING & USE
Located in the Medium Density
Residential (R-6) zone district
containing a duplex. The property is
located at the corner of W. Hallam and
N. 4th Street, within the Aspen Infill
Area.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
The Applicant is proposing to
demolish an existing duplex and
redevelop the site with a single family
residence. As part of the new
development, the Applicant is
requesting a variation to a Residential
Design Standard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission deny
the application for a variation to Residential Design Standards.
SUMMARY:
This is a continuation of a public hearing from September 6, 2016
and again on November 1, 2016. The Applicant is proposing
demolition of an existing duplex and the construction of a single
family residence. Previously, the applicant received administrative
approval for alternative compliance with two other Residential
Design Standards. This application is requesting variation from a
standard that is non-flexible. A variation for a non-flexible standard
cannot be granted through an administrative approval but instead
requires review by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Specifically, this application requests variation to the standard:
Articulation of Building Mass; 26.410.030.B.1.
Figure 1. Location of project and footprint of existing duplex.
P15
VI.A.
LAND USE REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCEDURES:
The applicant is requesting the following land use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission to
construct a new, single family residence.
A Variation to Residential Design Standards as pursuant to Section 26.410.020[C]. of the Land
Use Code. A variation to a Residential Design Standard shall be considered at a public hearing
before the Planning and Zoning Commission who may approve, approve with conditions or deny
the proposal based on the following review standards:
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the standard as indicated
in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general intent statement in Section
26.410.010.A.1-3; or
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific constraints.
Please see Exhibit A for staff findings on review standards.
PREVIOUS DESIGN SUBMITTALS:
The design that the Planning and Zoning Commission evaluated at the September 6th hearing was seeking
a variation from Articulation of Building Mass; Option 1, Maximum Sidewall Depth. The proposed house
was nearly 80 feet in length (30 feet longer than allowed in Option 1). Staff recommended denial and the
Commission, after discussion, voted to continue the item to allow for a reconfiguration of the design. Please
refer to Exhibit B, Staff Memo from the September 6th public hearing for a full description of the Residential
Design Standards and the original design proposal.
In response to Staff and Commission comments, the applicant submitted a revised design for review at the
November 1st public hearing. The modified design pursued a variation to Option 3, Increased Side Setbacks
at Rear and Step Down as provided by the standard. Staff again recommended denial as the modified design
did not meet the dimensional standards required by Option 3. The design provide a second level that was
nearly 60 feet in length (15 feet longer than allowed). In the discussion at the hearing, the Commission
agreed that the modified design did not meet the letter or intent of the standard and voted in support of a
continuation to give further opportunity for design revision. Commission comments gave direction to work
on the roofline in an effort to further articulate the mass of the second level.
NEW DESIGN PROPOSAL:
In response to Commission comments, the applicant has proposed a third design for review. The design
continues to pursue a variation that is most closely aligned with Option 3. The building steps down from
two levels to one and provides increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. Consistent with the design
presented at the November 1st meeting, the building meets the dimensional standards for the increased
setbacks, but is not compliant with the requirements for the maximum length (45 feet) of the second level
before it steps down. The second level remains approximately 15 feet longer than allowed by the standard.
The significant change from the previous design is an amended roofline. Please refer to Exhibit G for a
narrative and drawings of the new design.

Figure 7. December 6th (current) design, West elevation. Amended roofline.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff agrees that the new roof design is an improvement over previous iterations and acknowledges the
applicant’s efforts to continue to move the design closer to meeting the standard. Additionally, staff
acknowledges the applicant’s desire to build a home that allows the primary living space to occupy the
second level – and the constraints that the Residential Design Standards (RDS) place on this outcome by
limiting the mass of the principle building form.
While the RDS were crafted to provide flexibility to designers in meeting the intent of each of the standards,
staff is committed to the dimensional requirements that define the provided design options. The three
options offered for the Articulation of Building Mass standard were not created arbitrarily. They give
definition not to an architectural style, but to a form that is consistent with historically established patterns
and the community’s desired qualities of residential massing in the Aspen Infill Area. This standard and its
intent is particularly important in this case, as the project is located on a corner lot with two, street-facing
facades.
In spite of the changes to the roof line, staff finds that the current design continues to present a massing of
the second level that goes beyond the intent of the standard.
P18
VI.A.
RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission deny the variation from Residential Design Standards for 501 W. Hallam St.
PROPOSED MOTION: The Draft Resolution is written in approval of the variation request. If the
Commission agrees with the staff recommendation of denial, the following motion is proposed:
“I move to deny Resolution No. ____, Series of 2016.”
This action would deny the request for variation from Residential Design Standards for Articulation of
Building Mass.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ASPEN PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Residential Design Standards Variation
Pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in Title 26 of the Aspen Municipal Code, the
Planning and Zoning Commission hereby approves the variation request from the following
Residential Design Standard that is underlined below, as represented in the application presented
before the Commission:
26.410.030.B.1.a-d. Location and Massing; Articulation of Building Mass
P20
VI.A.
B.1.c: Standard. A principal building shall articulate building mass to reduce
bulk and mass and create building forms that are similar in scale to those seen in
historic Aspen residential buildings.
This variation request specifically relates to Option 3, provided in the same standard:
(3) Increased Side Setbacks at Rear and Step Down. A principal building shall
provide increased side setbacks at the rear of the building. If the principal
building is two stories, it shall step down to one story in the rear. The
increased side setbacks and one story step down shall occur at a maximum of
forty-five (45) feet, as measured from the front-most wall toward the rear
wall. The increased side setbacks shall be at least five (5) feet greater than the
side setbacks at the front of the building.
This approval allows the construction of a single family house that has a two-story principal mass
that is greater than allowed by Option 3 in the standard before stepping down to one story – per
the dimensions presented in Exhibit A. This approval allows a maximum length (front most wall
to rear most wall) for the second level of 60 feet and requires increased side setbacks of at least 5
feet at the rear of the building2.
Section 2: Building Permit Application
Other than any variation granted, the building permit application shall be compliant with all other
standards and requirements of the City of Aspen Municipal Code and all other adopted
regulations.
Section 3:
All material representations and commitments made by the Applicant pursuant to the
development proposal approvals as herein awarded, whether in public hearing or documentation
presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission, are hereby incorporated in such plan
development approvals and the same shall be complied with as if fully set forth herein, unless
amended by an authorized entity.
Section 4:
This resolution shall not affect any existing litigation and shall not operate as an abatement of any
action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of the ordinances repealed or amended as
herein provided, and the same shall be conducted and concluded under such prior ordinances.
Section 5:
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this resolution is for any reason
held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a
separate, distinct and independent provision and shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions thereof.

RE: 501 West Hallam Street
Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for your continued tolerance through our design iterations for the project. Please
accept this re-re-re-revised variation application for Residential Design Standards, Articulation of
Building Mass standard, for 501 West Hallam.
We benefitted from the discussion with the Planning and
Zoning Commission November 1st. The P&Z affirmed staff’s
position that the proposed design did not fully address the
standards. The Commission did, however, provide feedback
on the continuous ridgeline that visually created a singular
mass. They provided direction to re-study a roof step-down.
This “December” design creates a stronger visual break
between the two building masses. The building’s footprint
steps in and the height steps down. While architecturally
different, this massing reflects a recently completed west end
project at 2nd and Hallam that we feel works very well.
We believe this design is responsive to the Commission’s
direction and achieves the visual break they were looking for.
The December design continues to provide a second-floor
connection between the front half and rear half of the home.
This affords superior livability and functionality and reflects a
modern living layout.
The December design continues to provide “neighbor
accommodation.” Our neighbor to the west is non-conforming
with regard to side yard setbacks (building at lot line with roof
encroachment). Our design respects this condition with
additional setback, maximizing space between the two
properties.
September Design
November Design
P23
VI.A.
Page 2 of 2
501 W. Hallam RDS
We blended a few design features from the
original September 6th application and from
the November 6th application. The home still
steps-down to one-story in the rear, and
generates a
sidewall calculation of 59’-11¾” as
measured from the front-most wall of the
front façade at the second story to the rear
wall at the second story. This is a significant
reduction from the 80 feet from the
September design and slightly increased (by
8 inches) from the November design.
We also continue to have increased side
setbacks towards the rear. The garage is
significantly narrower than the main house,
setback more than 12 feet from the 4th
Street property line, about 6’-8” back from
the house façade.
We hope you appreciate the design
changes we’ve made. We continue to feel
this is an attractive home and will fit with the
neighborhood. Please know that we
continue to advance design details and
materials and other minor changes may
occur. We understand that an approval will
“lock-in” the building’s massing.
We look forward to your review and to our
continued Planning and Zoning Commission
hearing on December 6th. Please let us know
if we can provide additional information or if
we can respond to your feedback.

Exhibit A – Staff Findings
VARIATION – RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS
The Aspen Land Use Code 26.410.020; provides the Procedures for Review of Residential Design
Standards. If a variation to a non-flexible standard is pursued by an applicant, a public hearing before the
Planning and Zoning Commission determines whether an application meets the review standards. These
standards are described in 26.410.020.D.1-2:
Variation Review Standards. An application requesting variation from the Residential Design
Standards shall demonstrate and the deciding board shall find that the variation, if granted would:
1. Provide an alternative design approach that meets the overall intent of the standard as
indicated in the intent statement for that standard, as well as the general intent statement in
Section 26.410.010.A.1-3; or
Staff Finding
The application acknowledges that the design proposal does not comply with the dimensional requirements
of Articulation of Building Mass standard; Option. 3. While the design does step down from two stories to
one story at the rear of the building and provides increased side setbacks at the rear of the building, the
principle 2nd story mass is more than 15 feet longer than allowed by Option 3. The applicant believes that
the design, while not consistent with Option 3 – meets the intent of the standard and of the Residential
Design Standards in general. Staff agrees that part of the intent statement is met by the design – the building
is well articulated – and the new design with the amended roofline improves this condition. However, the
larger purpose of the standard – to promote massing and architectural forms that are consistent with
Aspen’s historic character and appropriate to the small lots that define this area – is not met by this design.
The three options that allow compliance with this standard provide a clear path toward residential design
that meets the described intent. Staff finds this criterion is not met.
2. Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site specific constraints.
Staff Finding
The application states that because the property to the west contains a building that was built at the lot line
(and a portion of the roof structure actually encroaches on to this property) – design choices that elongated
this proposed house were necessary. While the adjacent house is non-conforming with regard to side yard
setbacks, Community Development has been consistent in its determination of “unusual site specific
constraints.” Conditions on neighboring properties have generally not been considered when reviewing
variances (or variations) to development rights. In this case, staff determines that there are no unusual
constraints on this property. Staff finds this criterion is not met.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Sara Nadolny, Planner
THRU: Jennifer Phelan, Deputy Director
RE: Remand of the Planning & Zoning Commission’s approval of
Conceptual Commercial Design Review for 230 E. Hopkins Ave, aka
Mountain Forge Building.
P&Z Resolution No. 5, Series of 2016.
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2016
NOTE ON PROCESS: When Commercial Design Review is granted by a board, the City Council is
informed of the decision and has the ability
to call up the decision for review.
On September 26, 2016, City Council called
up the approval granted by the Planning and
Zoning Commission regarding the
redevelopment of the Mountain Forge
building at 230 E. Hopkins Ave. At the
meeting, City Council considered the
application and the record established by the
P&Z. City Council had three options to
consider at the meeting:
1. Accept the decision made by the P&Z; or
2. Remand the application to the P&Z with direction from City Council for rehearing and
reconsideration; or
3. Continue the meeting to request additional evidence, analysis or testimony as necessary to
conclude the call-up review.
Council selected Option #2 and has remanded the application back to the Commission with
direction to reconsider the following:
1) The asymmetrical roof form at the corner of S. Monarch St. and E. Hopkins Ave; and
P35
VI.B.
230 E. Hopkins Ave
Remand Hearing
Page 2 of 5
2) The massing of the building along S. Monarch St. - consider ways to make this more
pedestrian friendly.
The P&Z Conceptual approval was granted by a vote of 6-1. Staff recommended the case be
continued with the instruction for the applicant to increase the net livable ground floor area of the
affordable housing unit, but had no issues regarding the asymmetrical roof form or the massing
along the building’s Monarch St. façade.
The Commission reviewed several proposals during the course of three hearings. Through the
process the exterior of the building saw very little change from the first proposed iteration, while
Staff and the Commission focused primarily on issues related to the affordable housing unit.
Minutes from the Council discussion are attached, along with the documents reviewed by P&Z on
July 19th, and the minutes of all three P&Z hearings. For this meeting, the applicant has indicated
they are not interested in presenting any changes to the design that was approved by P&Z. The
applicant has considered the issues proposed by City Council, and has indicated that there are
solutions that may be explored at Final Commercial Design review related to materials,
fenestration, and landscaping, which may aid in creating a more pedestrian friendly building form.
P&Z is to consider Council’s input and decide whether to uphold the previous decision, make a
new decision, or continue the hearing for more information.
The rehearing and reconsideration of the application by P&Z
is final and concludes the call-up review. Substantial changes
to the application outside of the specific topics listed in the
remand to P&Z may require a new call-up notice to City
Council; however, the call up review would be limited only
to the new changes to the application. The rehearing is
conducted during a duly noticed public hearing.
Following the conclusion of
this process, the applicant
may apply for Final
Commercial Design Review
with a hearing before P&Z.
DISCUSSION:
1) Asymmetrical roof
forms. Council’s first issue
is regarding the
asymmetrical roof forms,
found at the corner of
Hopkins Ave. and Monarch
St., and Monarch St. and the
alley.
32’ 34’ 5 ½”
Figure B – Proposed roof form
P36
VI.B.
230 E. Hopkins Ave
Remand Hearing
Page 3 of 5
The asymmetrical roof forms are driven by an existing non-conforming height condition at the
building’s southeastern corner. The roof at the Hopkins/Monarch location has been designed with
two different pitches to prevent the expansion of a non-conformity.
At the first Conceptual hearing it was explained that the Mixed Use zone district allows buildings
at a height of 28’ by right, and up to 32’ if granted by the Commission through Commercial Design
Review. The Code allows non-conformities to be maintained or decreased, but not to be increased.
At the Hopkins Ave/Monarch St. location the applicant has proposed to remove the current pitched
roof and replace it with a gabled roof form. The existing roof is non-conforming with the allowed
height of the zone district as it measures 34’ 8”. The change created by the proposed gable design
lessens the non-conformity slightly by dropping the height to 34’ 5 ½” on the northeastern side of
the building. To complete the gable and maintain the allowed height for the zone district the
applicant proposed a pitch that is measured at 32’ in height, as seen in Figure B above. The P&Z
previously approved this roof form and additional height above 28’ (to 32’) during Conceptual
Commercial Design review.
The roof form on the northeastern side of the structure (Monarch St. and the alley) has been
designed to echo the asymmetrical form found at the opposite end of the building, and measures
below the 28’ height allowed by right in the MU zone district.
2) Massing along S. Monarch St. The second item Council would like to see addressed
involves the massing of the proposed building along Monarch St. Council’s concern is that the
building has too much mass on this facade which detracts from a comfortable pedestrian
environment.
Council has requested the applicant look at breaking up the massing, particularly along the center
module, to minimize the size of the building along the Monarch St. façade, and to create a more
pedestrian-scaled structure.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed Council’s requests and recommends the following.
1) Asymmetrical Roof Forms. Staff is recommending no changes to this feature. Altering
the proposed asymmetrical roof form at the building’s southeastern corner will result in an
increase to the non-conforming height of the building.
The northeastern corner mirrors the asymmetrical form and measures 27’ 3 ½”, which is
under the 28’ height limitation of the zone district. The roof form in this location could be
designed symmetrically; however, Staff feels the building’s design benefits from the
mirrored roof forms at both ends of the building.
2) Massing along Monarch Street façade. Staff previously supported the massing of the
design. However, in response to Council’s concerns Staff has explored ways to reduce the
appearance of mass on this façade of the building. These include:
Set back the top portion of the building’s middle module, such as that found with the
existing building. A second story setback area may provide ideal space for a upper
level patio, which would enhance the access to outdoor space.
Revisit the height of the ground floor versus the upper
floor. At the center module the building measures 27’
8 ½” to the top of the flat roof. The proposed stories
are divided visually from the exterior through a
change in materials and color. The first floor
measures approximately 11’ 10 ½”, while the second
story measures roughly 16’7”. Appearance of
massing may be reduced by changing the location of
the material/color break between floors, such that the
first floor level appears larger than the
second floor level.

Figure E – Dashed line indicates
division of building levels.

Remand Hearing
Page 5 of 5
Council has suggested possibly adding a door midway through the building’s middle
module to enhance pedestrian connectivity. This is part of fenestration, which is a Final
Commercial Design Review issue.
During Final review, the massing may be further reduced by exploring different sized
windows on this façade, and enhancing the landscaping leading to the existing entryways.
DECISION: The Planning and Zoning Commission may
Uphold Resolution No. 20, Series of 2016 as written;
Request changes to the project; or
Request additional information.

Mr. Ready said this was approved at the Joint meeting for $414,000 for the entrance to Aspen study and
cell phone data collection.
Mayor Skadron said all this money is dedicated to up valley transit money. Snowmass has said they will
chip in a certain amount of money. It is one pool of money with two names on it. Councilman Myrin
said he is comfortable with that. His opposition is the fixed guideway transit alternative. He will support
the whole thing.
Councilwoman Mullins said she will support this as it has been 10 years since the last study. We need to
look at all alternatives. She supports the study as it has been described.
Councilman Frisch said when you look at the big picture you hope it matches with the time allocated. It
is long overdue and much needed. There is a direction from the community that we have not done a lot
with.
Toni Kronberg passed out a handout. She said the study only includes light rail versus the busses. If both
get voted down you are left with nothing. EOTC may also direct other modes for screening. She is
asking for 50,000 dollars for the aerial study or 15,000 from each jurisdiction.

NOTICE OF CALL UP – 230 E Hopkins Ave. Mountain Forge Building
Jessica Garrow, community development, told the Council this was approved 6 to 1 by P&Z last month.
It is a remodel of the existing structure and includes a decrease of floor area, the addition of two free
market residential units and the demolition and replacement of a two bedroom affordable housing unit.
The remodel includes decreasing some existing legally non-conforming structures relating to the window
well and height of the structure. It was originally built in 1963 and had a significant remodel in the
1980s. Portion are built to the lot line, portions are in the right of way, and the height is currently at 34.8
feet and the maximum is 32. They are working to decrease it but they are able to maintain that non-
conformity. There is an increase to the onsite public amenity space. P&Z met three times to review the
project.
Councilwoman Mullins said they are replacing the affordable housing unit. Ms. Garrow replied yes. It
will be replaced on site and slightly larger.

Councilwoman Mullins asked to see the image of the site plan and public amenity space. Ms. Garrow
said the requirement for offsite public amenity is for a parks and engineering review that they are
consistent for access and egress.
Councilman Myrin said he did not see the minutes from the June 21 vote. Ms. Garrow said there was a
lot of discussion on the affordable housing unit. Councilman Myrin said the recycle area should be 200
square feet and is reduced to 150. Can it be called up for that? Ms. Garrow said it is under the purview of
environmental health and not a commercial design issue. Councilman Myrin said the window wells that
extend past the property line are not review for Council either. Ms. Garrow said they don’t extend any
longer. They are pulling anything that is in the right of way out so it is all within the property.
Councilman Myrin said the height is measured by filling something up. Ms. Garrow said the height is
measured from the bottom of the light well. Councilman Myrin asked is the height changing. Ms.
Garrow said it is decreasing by two inches. There are some changes to the roof form. Councilman Myrin
said he is not excited about this building. He is concerned about the mass from the sidewalk and the
Monarch side. The mass and scale feels enormous. The offsite public amenity space is nice to have but
he is not sure why it is calculated. The recycling area has shrunk. It has a massive feel to it.
Councilman Frisch asked which concerns are in our bucket of review. Ms. Garrow stated the recycle is
not, mass, scale, roof and public amenity space are. Councilman Frisch said from a top level standpoint,
Hopkins sits well. He appreciates where Bert is coming from on Monarch.
Councilwoman Mullins said she agrees with Adam that the Hopkins side is very successful. Monarch is
boxy and massive. It is a large mass between the two more articulated bookends. She is not sure that you
could come up with a better alternative. The three different masses help quite a bit. It is acceptable and
she would not ask it to be called up.
Councilman Frisch said there is nothing in the guidelines that says a sloped roof needs to honor that. Ms.
Garrow replied no.
Mayor Skadron said he is curious about the massing between the two end units. The building today has a
more welcoming nature. He was going to suggest we take a look at this.
Councilwoman Mullins moved to call up 230 E Hopkins Avenue; seconded by Councilman Myrin. All in
favor, motion carried.
ORDINANCE #22, SERIES OF 2016 – Code Amendment – Election Finance
Mr. True stated this is a code amendment to Section 9.04.030 b – campaign finance report filing. The
City has adopted the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act and has made various amendment to file
additional reports. One has made the requirement to file an additional report seven days prior to the
election. The city also amended the Act by stating that donations could not be accepted after seven days
prior to the election. There is a timeframe in the Act that would allow someone to make a donation Seven
days prior to the election but after that reporting period and not get picked up by the reporting period five
days in the Act that is then back dated another five days. We have proposed to fix that so there are three
reports prior to the election, 21 days, 10 days by this amendment and then five days prior to the election.
All of the reporting done pursuant to the act will be required to report as of the date of the report. This
will then allow that five days report to contain all donations to be made prior to the election.
