HomeMy WebLinkAboutresolution.apz.001-76RESOLUTION OF THE ASPEN PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION INITIATING PROCEDURES FOR THE REZONING OF
THE VACATED PORTION OF SOUTH HUNTER STREET
WHEREAS, the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission has re-
viewed the record history of ownership, the encumbrances against,
and the history of the 1974/1975 zoning of that portion of Hunter
Street vacated by the City of Aspen in its Ordinance No. 53, Series
of 1947, and
WHEREAS, the Commission is of the opinion that, although
there has been no change of conditions since 1974 and 1975 such
as to warrant reconsideration of the existing C Conservation zoning
of the property on that basis, there is evidence that the application
of this zone district to the property in 1974 was incorrect and that
rezoning of the tract to a more appropriate designation is in order,
and
WHEREAS, the Commission is further of the opinion that the
property is unique, has severe development limitations, is situate
such as to affect the vital transition between the City's major ski
area and commercial center, and its development will have public
impacts disproportionate to its size, all of which make the final
development configuration of interest to the Commission, and
WHEREAS, the Commission has agreed that the rezoning of the
land to Specially Planned Area as provided by Article VII of
Chapter 24 of the Aspen Municipal Code may be desirable because of
the development flexibility provided for by such zone designation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO:
1. That it does hereby initiate the rezoning to SPA of the
vacated portion of South Hunter Street pursuant to Section 24-11.3 of
the Aspen Municipal Code and direct that a public hearing on the
proposed amendment to the zoning district map be held on April ~ ~ ,
1976.
2. That prior to such hearing published and written notice
be given as required by Sections 24-11.3(c)(1) and (c)(2) and
that consent by all owners of the affected property be secured.
