ASPEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING AMENDMENTS TO THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT QUOTA SYSTEM
TO ENSURE ITS INTERNAL CLARITY AND CONSISTENCY
Resolution No. 83 - 7
WHEREAS, during 1981 and 1982, a series of amendments to the
Aspen Municipal Code were adopted by the Aspen City Council which
had the effect of substantially revising the growth management
quota system, and
WHEREAS, due to the fact that said amendments were adopted
sequentially rather than simultaneously, certain procedural reforms
can be found in some portions of the system but not in others, and
WHEREAS, during the course of administering the new system,
the Planning Office and Planning Commission have recognized various
provisions which would be more easily understood were they to be
technically clarified, and
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission does wish
to amend the Municipal Code for the purposes of ensuring the
internal clarity and consistency of the growth management quota
system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Aspen, Colorado:
