RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL DENY AN AMENDMENT TO THE

COLORADO
Resolution #97-~5
WHEREAS, The Pomegranate Condominium Homeowners Association
(Applicant) submitted an application (development proposal) to the Planning Office to
rezone from Park-Planned Unit Development (P-PUD) to Residential Multi-Family (RMF)
a 1.92 tract of land, generally described as the land between the Pomegranate
Condominiums and State Highway 82 and more accurately described in Exhibit A; and,
WHEREAs, the Planning Department reviewed the development proposal in
accordance with all applicable procedure and review criteria set forth in Sections 26.28,
26.52, 26.56, and 26.92 of the Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on
July 15, 1997, in accordance with Section 26.52 of the Municipal Code, reviewed the
development proposal in accordance with all applicable procedures and review and
recommended to City Council denial of the Amendment to the .Official Zone District Map.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission:
That the Aspen City Council should deny the request to amend the Official Zone District
Map for the following reasons:
The Pomegranate Condominiums should be annexed into the City. This would not only
correct an oddity in our city boundary, but would alleviate any jurisdictional problems
with City and County services.
,
The rezoning from Park to Residential Multi-Family creates additional development
potential for the parcel and allows development very close to the highway.
3. The site plan could be better developed with the plan for the Aspen Country Inn.
4. The garages and surface parking should be reversed so that the surface parking is not so
visible from Highway 82 and the gararges are backed against the proposed berms.
RECOMMENDED by the Commission at its regular meeting on July 15, 1997.
