RE*
1996 Annexation Plan
SUMMARY: The City of Aspen last updated the city's annexation plan in 1988, in
conjunction with the 1988 Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. As you know,, that Plan was
superseded by the Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP) in 1993. The AACP was a "character-
based" document and did not include a discussion or revision of annexation policies.
The City is currently preparing for the annexation of the Maroon Creek Club, and these
discussions have led to an effort to update the annexation element consistent wi.th state statutes.
The attached plan (Exhibit A) refines and updates the 1988 plan. It is important to note that the
general policy direction' has not changed since 1988, but the plan has been refined to reflect
changes in land use within the potential annexation areas.
Process: Since the adoption of the AACP, the annexation, element is considered a separate
policy document, as opposed to an actual element of the CommuniW Plan. As such, the Planning
Commission is advisory to the Council, and the discussion tonight does not require a public
hearing. However, a public hearing will be required in front of City Council.
Recommendation: Staff would recommend that the Commission discuss any issues with the
draft plan, and foreword a positive recommendatic~n to the City Council.
