DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE
REQUEST BY THE TRUEMAN/ASPEN COMPANY
FOR A SEASONAL GARDEN SHOP
TO BE LOCATED ON LOT I OF THE TRUEMAN SUBDIVISION
Resolution No. 95- ~
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 24-5-212 of the Aspen Land Use
Regulations, the Neighborhood Commercial zone district allows a
"garden shop" subject to Conditional Use review approval as
described Section 24-7-304; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Office received an application from the
Trueman Aspen Company and Sashae Floral Arts, represented by Philip
Bloemsma, for a Conditional Use review for a garden shop to be
located within the courtyard of the shopping center; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Cor~mission considered the
applicant's request at a duly noticed public hearing on May 2, 1995
at which time the Commission made the following findings:
The Commission found that the proposed request was an
extension of retail space into walkways and open space
which is commercial growth without mitigation; and'
The Commission found it would set a bad precedence for
a commercial use to expand into open space or under
existing overhangs; and
The Commission found that the applicant can discretely
beautify the existing open space with flower baskets and
plants without needing a conditional use review.
WHEREAS, after the Commission made these findings they voted
6-0 to deny the applicant's request.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission that the
Conditional Use review for a garden shop to be located in the
courtyard of Lot 1 of the Trueman, Subdivision is hereby denied.
APPROVED by the Commission at its regular meeting on May 2,
1995.
