RESOLUTION NO. 25, SERIES OF 2002
WItEREAS, the applicant, Innsbruck Holdings LLC, represented by Mitch Haas of Haas

approval for an expansion of the Innsbruck Inn, a non-designated building within the
Main Street Historic District located at 233 West Main Street, lots A, B, C, D, and E,
Block 52, City and Townsite of Aspen, Colorado; and,
WHEREAS, conceptual HPC development approval for the Innsbmck Inn expansion
was granted on November 28, 2001 pursuant to HPC Resolution No. 55, Series of 2002,
which was prior to the adoption of City Council Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2002 that
amended the Significant Development Review Standards; and,
WHEREAS, final HPC review for the Innsbmck Inn expansion shall be subject to the
significant development review standards in place at the time that application was made
for conceptual review; and,
WHEREAS, all development in an "H," Historic Overlay District or development
involving a historic landmark must meet all four Development Review Standards of
Section 26.415.010.B.4 of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval,
namely:
1. 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 fi'ont yard, side yard and
rear yard setbacks, extend into the minimum distance between buildings on the lot or
exceed the allowed floor area by up to five hundred (500) square feet or the allowed
site coverage by up to five (5) pement, HPC may grant such 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 the Cottage Infill Program for detached accessory dwelling
units pursuant to Section 26.520.
2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character
of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development.
3. 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.
4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the
architectural character or integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof;
and,
WHEREAS, James Lindt, in his staff report dated June 26, 2002, performed an analysis
of the application based on the standards, and recommended approval of the application,
with conditions; and,
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing and regular meeting on June 26, 2002, the
Historic Preservation Commission considered the application, comments made by the
applicant, comments offered by the general public, found the application to meet the
standards, and approved the application, by a vote of seven to zero (7-0).
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
