CONCERNING THE RECONSIDERATION OF THE GOLF COURSE SUBDIVISION
AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PRO SHOP ADJACENT TO HIGHWAY 82
Resolution No. 82 - 13
WHEREAS, as a result of the failure to record the Golf Course Subdivision
Plat within 90 days after its final approval, the City of Aspen has found it
necessary to resubmit the Golf Course Subdivision Preliminary Plat for considera-
tion by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission, and
WHEREAS, prior to and apart from its reconsideration of the Golf Course
Subdivision Preliminary Plat the Planning and Zoning Commission has expressed
its displeasure with the location of the construction of the pro shop along
Highway 82 has received substantial negative public comment about that building,
and
WHEREAS, during its original consideration of the Golf Course Subdivision,
the Planning and Zoning Commission concurred with the Planning Office that a
PUD review for any development of the property which was to be leased to the
Red Roof Inns was in the best interest of the community, and
WHEREAS, the City Council did not adopt the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommendation that the Golf Course Support Overlay zone district have its
area and bulk requirements set by PUD review, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission believes that the 200 foot
setback of buildings from Highway 82 is a most important land use policy in
Pitkin County, and one which should be adopted by the City of Aspen, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission cannot, in good conscience,
act upon the Golf Course Subdivision Preliminary Plat until such time as this
property has been designated as a mandatory PUD area, which will provide a
review mechanism to evaluate the location of the pro shop.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning Commission of
Aspen, Colorado:
1. That it does hereby request that City Council initiate a rezoning of
the Golf Course property to designate it as an area of mandatory
PUD. The Commission does hereby indicate to the City Council that
it will withold action upon the reconsideration of the Golf Course
Subdivision Preliminary Plat until such time as this rezoning is
completed.
2. That it does hereby provide the City Council with notice that it
does intend to recommend that the pro shop building be moved outside
of the 200 foot setback from Highway 82.
That it does wish to implement the 200 foot setback from Highway 82
as a general land use policy in Aspen and hereby directs the Planning
Office to examine the feasibility of its implementation at both the
east and west entrances to Aspen.
Adopted unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Commission of Aspen,
Colorado at their regular meeting on October 19, 1982.
