SILVIA DAVIS PITKIN COUNTY CO R 11,00 D 0.00
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
HPC grants approval for Major Development (Conceptual) and a Parking Waiver based on the
th -
drawings presented to HPC on November 17 , 2004, with the following conditions:
1. The project will generate a requirement for approximately 11 parking spaces. The
number cannot be firmly stated at this time because the Planning and Zoning Commission
will establish what is required for the affordable housing units during their review. The
applicant cannot provide any more than 4 spaces that meet the City's requirements for on-
site parking, therefore HPC has waived on-site parking and cash-in-lieu payment for
everything above 4 spaces.
2. An application for final review shall be submitted for review and approval by the HPC
within one year of November 17, 2004 or the conceptual approval shall be considered
null and void per Section 26.415.070.D.3.c.3 of the Municipal Code.
3. A landscape plan, lighting, fenestration and detailing, selection of new materials, and
technical issues surrounding the preservation of existing materials will all be addressed at
Final Review.
APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION at its regular meeting on the 17th day of November,
2004.
