COMMISSION OF ASPEN, COLORADO, REGARDING
ULRYCH REZONING AND OTHER APPROVALS
Resolution No. 80 - ~
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission considered an application
submitted by Andre Ulrych for approvals concerning 715 East Hopkins Avenue
(Lots C and D, Block 104, Aspen Townsite) at a Public Hearing on October 7,
1980 which was continued on October 21, 1980, and
WHEREAS, the application included requests for the following:
1. Rezoning from O-Office to O-Office/Residential Bonu~ (Overlay) according
to the requirements of Ordinance No. 16 (Series of 1980) of Aspen City Council,
2. Subdivision exception for a multi-family development on previously-developed
property,
3. Subdivision exception for condominiumization,
4. Special ~review of employee units,
5. Exception from Growth Management allocation for price-restricted units, and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered comments from referral
and staff agencies. Public concerns primarily dealt with bulk, height and
traffic increases which would result from a density bonus. The Commission found
that the bulk of the proposed building is only slightly increased over a duplex
or office building which would be allowed by right, in which the maximum height
and footprint could be the same. Parking for two existing dwelling units is
currently on-street but one off-street parking space would be provided for each
bedroom under the current application with no reduction requested. (An allowed
office use on the same property could potentially generate as much or more traffic
than this residential proposal.)
WHEREAS, further, the P&Z Commission feels that provision of bona fide employee
housing is meritorious.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
has determined that the advantages of providing bona fide employee housing at
715 East Hopkins Street under provisions of Ordinance No. 16 (Series of 1980)
outweigh other considerations of neighborhood appropriateness, and the Commission
therefore recommends City Council approval or gives Commission approval of the
following requests;
1. Recommends approval of rezoning from O-Office to O-Office/Residential
Bonus conditioned upon all area and bulk requirements of the O-Office
zone being met;
2. Approves subdivision exception (waiving conceptual approval before
City Council and preliminary plat before the Planning and Zoning
Commission for previously-developed Townsite lots subject to:
a. The applicant designing the structure so that it does not
protrude into the side yard setback.
b. The applicant meeting the requirements for completion of
plans and final plat subject to approval by the Engineering
Department;
3. Approves the conceptual application for subdivision of Lots C and D,
Block 104, Aspen Townsite, for a multi-family dwelling with two free-
market units and three price-restricted units;
4. Approves subdivision exception for the purpose of condominiumization
conditioned on:
a. Six-month minimum lease restrictions on all units according to
Section 20-22.
b. Completion to the approval of the Engineering Department and
recordation of a condominiumization plat prior to sale of units;
5. Recommends special review approval of the three bona fide employee units
to be deed restricted under the City's moderate income price guidelines;
6. Recommends approval of exception from Growth Management allocations for
bona fide employee housing, according to Section 24-10.2 of the Aspen
Municipal Code.
