RESOLUTION g46, SERIES OF 2001
WHEREAS, the applicant, the City of Aspen Parks Department, represented by Willis

along the east side of Wagner Park, within the City and Townsite of Aspen. The property
is located in the "Commercial Core Historic District," and
WHEREAS, all development in an "H," Historic Overlay District or development
invoNing a historic landmark must meet all four Development Review Standards of
Section 26.72.010(D) of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval,
nalnely:
Standard: The proposed development is compatible in general design, massing
and volume, scale and site plan with designated historic structures located on the
parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in a "H,"
Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to an Historic Landmark. For historic
landmarks where proposed development would extend into front yard, side yard and
rear yard setbacks, extend into the minimum distance between buildings on the lot,
exceed the allowed floor area by up to five hundred (500) square feet, or exceed the
allowed site covered by up to five (5) percent, HPC may grant necessary variances
after making a finding that such variation is more compatible in character with the
historic landmark and the neighborhood than would be development in accord with
dimensional requirements. In no event shall variations pursuant to this Section
exceed those variations allowed under Section 26.520.040(B)(2), for detached
accessory dwelling units, and
2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development.
Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the
historic significance of designated historic structures located on the parcel
proposed for development or on adjacent parcels.
Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the
architectural character or integrity of a designated historic structure or part
thereof; and
