WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has conducted an
evaluation of the City of Aspen "Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures" to identify
any properties which should be removed from the inventory due to loss of integrity, to

WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has forwarded a
recommendation to the Historic Preservation Commission; and
WHEREAS, Section 26.420.080 of the Land Use Code provides guidance on
evaluation of the inventory. According to that passage, the Inventory shall include all
structures in the City of Aspen which are at least fifty (50) years old and which continue
to have historic value, and such other structures identified by the Historic Preservation
Commission as being outstanding examples of more modem architecture; and
WHEREAS, Section 26.420.080 of the Land Use Code also requires that all
structures on the inventory be evaluated by the Historic Preservation Commission regarding
their current architectural integrity, historic significance, and community and neighborhood
influence and be categorized as "significant," "contributing," or "supporting;" and
WHEREAS, in a report dated November 15th, 2000 Staff provided the
Community Development Department's recommendations in regard to 303 South
Cleveland Street, a property currently listed on the inventory; and

Preservation Commission considered the staff reconunendation and by a vote of 4-0

identified by the Historic Preservation Commission as being outstanding examples of
more modem architecture.
