AND ZONING COMMISSION
Resolution No. 79- ~
Re: Recommendation for the Adoption
of Amendments Clarifying the Intention
of the S/C/I Zone District and the Uses Allowed
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing
on Tuesday, July 17, 1979, to consider the adoption of amendments which would
amend Section 24-3.2 so as to clarify the intention of the S/C/I Zone District
and the uses allowed, and
WHEREAS, this Commission heard testimony from the Planning Office
pertaining to the increasing market pressure for "up-grading" and to the
difficulties experienced by the Building Inspector in interpreting and
administering said zone, and
WHEREAS, this Commission was sympathetic to those arguments made by the
Planning Office and the proposed amendments and determined that public interest
would be served by preserving the S/C/I zone district as a haven for service,
commercial and industrial uses.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
that it does hereby recommend to the Aspen City Council that the following
amendments to the Aspen Municipal Code be adopted:
1. Amend the intention of the S/C/I zone found in Section 24-3.2 to
read: "To allow for the use of land AND THE PRESERVATION OF limited
commercial purposes and limited industrial purposes, with customary
accessory and institutional uses, WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE OR GENERATE
HIGH CUSTOMER TRAFFIC VOLUME. In addition, residences for those
employed in this district may be included in the service or commercial
buildings or adjacent thereto as conditional uses."
2. Amend the permitted use list for the S/C/I zone found in Section
24-3.2 by amending the last phrase in the permitted use list to
read: "...provided that no permitted uses creates an unusual traffic
hazard, noise, dust, fumes, odors, smoke, vapor, vibration, glare or
industrial waste disposal problem; AND PROVIDED THAT NO PERMITTED
USES WILL SELL DAILY OR FREQUENTLY BOUGHT ITEMS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC."
3. Amend the permitted use list for the S/C/I zone found in Section
24-3.2 by adding the word "INDUSTRIAL" in front of dry cleaning
plant and laundry so as to indicate that we are not talking about
coin operated laundromats or commercial laundries.
4. Amend the permitted use list for the S/C/I zone found in Section
24-3.2 by the elimination of gasoline service stations from that
permitted use list and by adding a FULL SERVICE GAS STATION to the
conditional use list.
Adopted this
Zoning Commission.
