AND ZONING COMMISSION REGARDING A CODE
AMENDMENT ALLOWING EMPLOYEE UNITS
IN NON-CONFORNING LODGES
Resolution No. 80 - m' ll
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission considered a proposed
code amendment allowing employee units in non-conforming lodges at a public
hearing on July 8, 1980, and
WHEREAS, the Commission supports the concept of addition of floor area,
regardless of non-conforming status, because of the need for employee
housing, especially for commercial uses, documented in the Housing Task Force
Report of 1980, and
WHEREAS, the Commission requested certain modifications tailoring the
review criteria to the different circumstances of single family versus the
more dense zone districts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
that it does hereby recommend approval of a code amendment allowing additions
to non-conforming lodges through the conditional use review process subject
to the following conditions and review criteria:
1. For non-conforming lodges located within the R-6 through R-40 zones,
limitation to 660 square feet and/or additional square footage in a
basement, additional square footage by special review pursuant to
the guidelines outlined in #2 of this resolution. The units must be
attached unless there is a pre-existing shed or accessory structure
in which case the structure could be converted provided the floor
area remained the same and the improvement was reviewed as compatible
with the scale of the surrounding area.
2. For non-conforming lodges in the R/MF, CC, C-1, S/C/I, NC and 0
zones, unlimited expansion provided there is no increase in lodge
units. Review and approval pursuant to review criteria as follows:
a. Compliance with any adopted housing plan, specifically the need
for seasonal employee rooms and deed restriction against commer-
cial rental or sale.
b. Maximization of construction quality and unit size.
c. Minimization of adverse environmental and social impacts.
d. Compatibility with surrounding land uses and zoning including
area and bulk requirements of the underlying zone district.
e. Adequacy and availability of utilities.

commercial rental or sale.
4. Health, safety and fire inspection and compliance prior to approval.
