FORTHE TRUEHAN NEIGHBORHOOD COMI~ERCIAL PROJECT
TO PERI, IT ADDITIONAL USES IN THE SPA
Resolution No. 95-J~
WHEREAS, Philip Bloemsma, the representative for the Trueman
Aspen Company, has submitted an application to the Planning office
requesting the addition of 23 uses to be considered permitted uses
for Lot 1 of the Trueman Subdivision SPA; and
WHEREAS, the Trueman Neighborhood Commercial Project was
approved in 1977 with the uses of the NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
and SCI (Service/Commercial/Industrial) zone district. This is
indicated in Plat Book 5 at Page 75. The applicant is seeking to
add additional uses to those presently specified in the NC and SCI
zones and is requesting an SPA Amendment pursuant to Sections 24-
7-804(B) and 24-7-804(D)(2) of the Aspen Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant is seeking to have the following uses
become permitted uses for Lot 1 of the Trueman Subdivision SPA:
travel agency; second hand store; kitchen supply store; optical
lab; office supply; lighting store; photo/framing store; furniture
store; auto parts shop; children/toy store; bookstore; gift and
card shop; take-out food shop; florist; lock shop; sporting goods
store; appliance store; pet store; clothing and shoe store;
audio/video/computer/communications store; bed, bath and linen
store; arts and crafts; and, all current conditional uses would be
considered permitted uses; and
WHEREAS, it has been found that several of these uses are
permitted in the SCI zone district and that a SPA amendment is not
necessary if these following uses comply with the explanation
included in the SCI zone district: kitchen supply store; lighting
store; photo/framing store; auto parts shop; lock shop;
audio/video/computer/communications store; and, arts and crafts
store.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the
Applicant's request at a duly noticed public hearing on June 6th
and June 20 1995. The Commission expressed concern that many of
the proposed uses did not meet the intent of the NC zone district
and that these new commercial uses would erode the NC zone. The
Commission further identified that the expansion of the proposed
uses into the NC zone would turn the Trueman center into an area
that would compete with the commercial core; and
WHEREAS, the Commission discussed the application and voted
to approve a modified version of the applicant's request by a vote
of 4-3.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission:
That it hereby recommends a modified approval of the applicant's
request that would add the use "florist" to the conditional uses
permitted at the Trueman Subdivision SPA for Lot 1 to city Council.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Commission:
That it hereby recommends that the current square footage of SCI
uses be calculated and require this percentage of space to always
be reserved for SCI use in the project to City Council.
APPROVED by the Commission at its regular meeting on June 20, 1995.
