RECOMMENDING CONSIDERATION BY THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL
OF THE PURCHASE OF LOT 3, TRUEMAN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CENTER
AS AN OPEN SPACE PARCEL
Resolution No. 82 - /~j
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed Commercial
Growth Management proposals at a public hearing held on October 5, 1982, and
WHEREAS, a project proposed to be built on Lot 3 of the Trueman Neighborhood
Commercial Center met the threshold of 60 percent of available points in the
first three scoring categories of the Growth Management Competition Scoring
System, and
WHEREAS, the awarding of points and a subsequent recommendation for a
square footage allotment does not convey some of the concerns expressed in the
discussion of the project, and
WHEREAS, the wildlife habitat of the Aspen Center for Environmental
Studies sanctuary could be affected by a large buildout or the ongoing construction
of a phased project, and
WHEREAS, the access to and use of Jenny Adair Park may be significantly
altered by the proposed development, and
WHEREAS, the development of this parcel would preclude the possibility of
the return of rail transit along the Rio Grande right-of-way, and
WHEREAS, the appeal of the Rio Grande Trail system would be reduced by
its being juxtaposed between the proposed storage warehouse buildings and the
existing Sanitation facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
that a recommendation is hereby made to the City Council of Aspen, Colorado to
consider the purchase of Lot 3 of the Trueman Neighborhood Commercial Center
with open space funds for use as open space.
Approved by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular
meeting on October 19, 1982.
