AND ZONING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING THAT NO CHANGE BE
MADE TO THE PERMITTED USES OF THE L-1 ZONE
Resolution No. 79- ~
WHEI{EAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing
on Tuesday, September 18, 1979, to consider an amendment to the permitted uses
within the L-1 zone district to allow single family, duplex and multi-family
uses as permitted uses within that zone, and
WHEREAS, the Commission heard testimony from the Planning Office and from
the general public concerning the implications of this amendment, and
WHEREAS, the Commission is sympathetic to the problems of Richard Sahbatini,
who requested the Aspen City Council to initiate this code amendment, and
WHEREAS, the Commission has been concerned for some time about the up-grading
of lodges and is interested in solving this concern by a more direct manner than
amending the Code,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
that it does hereby recommend to the Aspen City Council that no change be
made to the permitted uses of the L-1 zone district for the following reasons:
1. The Commission feels that it is unwise to change uses in a zone
for one piece of property.
2. The Commission feels that it is better to handle the proposed expansion
and up-grading of non-conforming uses through a non-conforming
preservation clause and/or housing overlay that is presently being
worked on by the Commission.
3. The Commission also feels that this proposed amendment would open the
way for the condominiumization of lodges by making multi-family uses a
conforming use and thus creating separate ownerships and reducing the
lodge inventory in the very area where it should be concentrated.
Approved by the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting
held on October 2, 1979.
