RECOMMENDING CODE AMENDMENTS WITH RESPECT TO
EMPLOYEE HOUSING
Resolution No. 85-23
WHEREAS, the Aspen City Council did initiate amendments to
the }~.unicipal Code of the City of Aspen with respect to the conversion
of non-deed-restricted units to deed-restricted status and to provide
for cash-in-lieu of employee housing; and
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission (herein-
after "Commission") did hold a public hearing on December 3, 1985, to
consider the amendments initiated by Council and various other
employee housing Code amendments
WHEREAS, the Commission
the Planning Office with respect
initiated by the Planning Office; and
did accept the recommendations of
to the employee housing Code amend-
ment s,
option,
1.
with the exception of the cash-in-lieu of employee housing
due to having made the following findings:
The cash-in-lieu option allows the developer to pass
the problem of employee housing to the public sector.
Therefore, development does not pay its own way and there
may be no additional housing constructed for some time.
Based on recent public sector housing projects, the Commis-
sion feels that there is little likelihood that the govern-
ment can do a better job of providing housing than can the
private sector; and
WHEREAS, it is the Commission's intention that the amendments
recommended below not apply to the scoring of any growth management
quota system application submitted in 1985.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission that it does
hereby recommend the following actions to Aspen City Council:
