RE: Small Lodge Text Amendments
Summary: Staff is requesting review and approval for text amendments to the LP Zone
District. These amendments are based on achieving two goals: (1) provide a mechanism for
controlled conversion for lodge properties that can no longer compete in the Aspen
accommodation market, but are severely restricted by the current LP requirements; and, (2) not
compromise the intent of the GMQS system with respect to growth control, balance or required
mitigation. Staff has summarized these changes, and has indicated areas where consensus has
not been reached. Based on direction from Council, a First Reading has been scheduled for the
proposed amendments for July 22, 1996. This hearing is not a mandate from either staff or
council, and can be tabled if the remaining issues cannot be resolved in one hearing before the
Commission. Staff has provided the Commission with two motions depending on the progress in
reaching agreement on remaining issues.
Background: The rather lengthy process and the proposed text amendments previously
approved by the Planning Commission were based on 18 months of work, undertaken by a
variety of staff. The amendments were hinged on a rather complex formula that allowed .minor
conversion to non-residential uses allowed in an adjacent zone district (up to 30 percent of
gross floor area) without mitigation. Staff believed that the proposed amendments were
cumbersome, difficult to understand, and did not reach the point of "a level playing field" which
seems to be the intent of the proposed revisions. In addition, there was concern regarding the
potential that the mitigative relief for a specific zone district was inherently unfair to other
property owners who would still be faced with the significant mitigation required within the
GMQS system if they proposed a change in use or expansion of net leasable square footage.
Staff held three work sessions with City Council on March 12, April 5 and May 22, 1996 to
discuss the LP revisions, and the outcome was an approach developed by staff that proposed a
different tact which conceptually overcomes the weaknesses in the proposed text. Following the
work sessions with Council, staff was directed to hold a community roundtable to broaden the
representation from the community into the LP discussions. The follolving organizations were
represented at the July 9, 1996 roundtable:
1
• LP Lodge Owners, represented by Gideon Kaufman and several lodge owners
• Aspen Skiing Company, represented by John Norton and Kitty Boone
• Aspen Historic Preservation Commission, represented by Martha Madsen
• Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission, represented by Sara Garton
• Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission, represented by David Guthrie
• Aspen Chamber Resort Association, represented by Diane Moore and Perry Harvey
• Aspen/Snowmass Council for the Arts, represented by Anne Chapman
• Aspen Central Reservations, represented by Molly Cambell
• Restaurant Association, represented by Sirous Saghatoleslami and Jackie Kasabaugh
• Aspen Realtors Association, represented by Cindy Ashcroft
The following consensus points were reached during that discussion:
1. The group was in conceptual agreement with the concept of an overlay zone and the
reversion to underlying zoning to both protect the existing LP uses, while allowing'a controlled
rate of conversion to other uses;
2. The issue of mitigation was the most complex component of the proposed revisions, and
every effort should be made to develop a simple, effective solution that allows controlled
conversion while mitigating the impact to the community;
3. Mechanisms that allowed for the replacement of lost bed base were favored to allow for
future expansion of lodges that are economically viable and wish to expand.
Staff has conceptually summarized the proposed changes for the Commission in the following
discussion.
"A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD"
The test of a level playing field is simple: are properties in the LP zone district being treated the
same as all other property owners under the City of Aspen Municipal Code. It is clear that under
the existing provisions of the Lodge Preservation (LP) zone district regulations, they are not.
Staff proposes the following zoning changes to assist in resolving the LP issue:
1) The LP zone district is revised to become an overlay, as opposed to a zone district.
The overlay would function as a mechanism to achieve some of the regulatory changes
envisioned by both the Planning Commission and the Council, and would be superimposed on
the existing properties encumbered by LP zoning. The overlay zone would allow the existing
lodges as a conforming use, and would be coupled with a revision to the definition of lodges to
allow for the inclusion of kitchens as well as provide for long- and short-term rentals. The
current definition of a lodge in Section 26.04.100 means "the same as a hotel," which precludes
both long-term rentals and kitchens. The proposed change in the definition would read as
follows:
Lodge means a building containing three (3) or more individual rooms for the
purpose of providing lodging facilities on a short or long-term basis, for
compensation, with or without meals, and which has _ common facilities for
reservation and cleaning services, 1combined utilities and on -site management
and reception. A lodge may, include kitchens within individual rental units.
The overlay would have the same dimensional requirements as the current LP zoning to establish
parameters for expansion. In addition, staff proposes - to continue to allow for
condom iniumization, with the requirement that long- and short-term rentals be allowed, but that
2
front desk facilities remain to protect the lodge use. The existing LP requirements are attached
as Exhibit A. The proposed overlay zone would have the following dimensional and use
requirements:
Lodge Preservation Overlay Zone Districts
A. Purpose: The purpose of the Lodge Preservation (LP) Overlay Zone District is to
provide for and protect small lodge uses in areas historically used for lodge accommodations,
and to permit limited expansion of these lodges when such expansions are compatible with
neighboring properties and provide an incentive for upgrading existing lodges on -site or onto
adjacent properties.
B. Permitted Uses. The following uses are permitted as of right in the LP Overlay Zone
District.
1. Lodge Units;
2. Boarding House;
3. Dormitory;
4. Accessory use facilities intended for guests of permitted lodge units, boarding house or
dormitory, which are commonly found in association and are for guests only,
including office, lounge, kitchen, dining room, laundry and recreational
facilities;
5. Affordable housing for employees of the lodge;
6. Accessory buildings and uses.
C. Conditional Uses. The following uses are permitted in the LP Overlay Zone District,
subject to the standards and procedures established in Chapter 26.60.
1. Restaurant including within a lodge operation serving guests and others;
2. Timesharing;
3. Affordable Housing.
D. Dimensional Requirements. The following dimensional requirements shall apply to all
permitted and conditional uses in the LP Overlay Zone District.
1. Minimum lot size (square feet): No Requirement
2. Minimum lot area per dwelling unit (square feet): No Requirement
3. Minimum lot width (feet): No Requirement
4. Minimum front yard (feet): 10
5. Minimum side yard (feet): 5
6. Minimum rear yard (feet): 10
7. Maximum height (feet): 25
8. Minimum distance between principal and accessory buildings (feet): 10
` The proposed text for the overlay zone is identical to the existing LP text, with the exception of the
revision to the "purpose" of the overlay zone and of the inclusion of affordable housing as a conditional
use. This in response to the potential, supported by both Community Development staff and the Housing
Office, to study the option of conversion of some lodges to affordable housing through outright purchase
and deed restriction by the City.
3
9. Percent Open Space required for building site: 35 (Can be varied by special review
pursuant to Section 26.64).2
10. External Floor Area Ratio: Established by special review pursuant to Section 26.64, not
to exceed 1:1.
11. Internal Floor Area Ratio:
Lodge Rental Space: Maximum of .5:1, which can be increased to : 75:1 internal
FAR of lodge rental space provided that 33.3% of the additional floor
area is approved for residential use restricted to affordable housing for
employees of the lodge.
Lodge non -unit Space: Minimum of .25:1.
E. Off-street parking requirement. The following off-street parking spaces shall be
provided for each use in the LP overlay zone district, subject to the provisions of
Chapter 26.32.
1. Lodge Use: 0.7 spaces/bedroom, of which 0.2 spaces per bedroom can be provided via a
payment in lieu pursuant to Chapter 26.64.
2. All other uses: 4 spaces/1000 square feet of net leasable area.
2) All existing LP -zoned properties would revert to underlying zoning, to allow for the
same land uses available to similar properties in the City. Table 1 summarizes the proposed zone
district for each existing LP property, and the potential buildout of each property under lodge
expansion, free market, and commercial expansion scenarios. The lodges in the LP zone district
would revert to R-6, R-15A (PUD), RMF, RMF (PUD) or Office zone districts. The allowed
uses and dimensional requirements within each of these zone districts are attached as Exhibit B.
Due to the complexity of *the Code, it is nearly impossible to summarize every development
scenario for each property. For example, the potential for the conversion of small lodges to
affordable housing under the AH1/PUD zone district has not been quantified. In addition, the
LP zone district allows a lodge buildout of .5:1, but this ratio increases to .75:1 if the expansion
proposes an affordable housing component. In the case of lodges that are adjacent to two zone
districts, staff assigned a zoning that appeared to be the most compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. The zoning designations are not considered final, and are for discussion purposes
only. The development potential is significant if one assumes a worst case, maximum buildout
scenario, but market forces within .the community will ultimately determine the conversion
process.
The outcome of these two simple steps would create a true level playing field by allowing LP
properties to have identical land use options open to adjacent properties in the same zone district.
In addition there are no complicated formulas, and no mitigative relief. Although the issue of
mitigative relief (i.p. no employee housing required for small expansions) has been favored in
Z The provision for reviewing open space requirements as lodges are expanded is based on reviewing each
lodge on a case -by -case basis, and the eventual open space determination would be based on the overall
quality of design, relationship and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and other criteria
traditionally applied in the special review process.

the past, staff cannot support this concept as applying our existing GMQS provisions in an
equitable fashion. In short, an employee is an employee regardless of if he/she is working for a
lodge allowed to convert or a new or expanding commercial activity. In addition, staff would
suggest that, if the Commission favored modifications to the GMQS system, those changes
should be discussed in a broader context than the discussions regarding the LP zone district.
Mitigating Conversion. Without revisions to both the GMQS allocations and the "change in
use provisions," all subsequent additions or conversions would require compliance with all
mitigation regulations now in place, including employee housing, park dedication and parking.
In reference to these discussions, Council has discussed the distinction between "Growth" and
"Change." For example, the conversion of a lodge to residential units may represent a decrease
in actual impacts to the community. The potential impact of the conversion of lodges to free
market dwelling units or commercial/office uses is a function of the dimensional limitations of
the underlying* zone district, as shown on Table 1.
Attempts to quantify the relationship between lodge units and residential units. have been
performed locally in the past. During the Highlands review, Glen Horn developed a conversion
system based on methodology that reviewed traffic generation, number of residents over
differing periods .of time,. employee generation, public service impacts and other community
impact criteria. The conversion formula arrived at the following proportional impact:
• 2.5 tourist accommodation units for each three bedroom single-family dwelling unit; and,
• 3.3 tourist accommodation units for each five bedroom single family dwelling unit.
For example, if a 20 unit lodge on a 15,000 square foot lot in the RMF zone wanted to convert to
residential uses, the maximum density would be 4 three -bedroom units. Assuming the validity
of the conversion impact factors cited above, the applicant could conceivably develop 8
residential units (2.5 x 20 = 8 units) without increasing impacts (i.e. "growth") on the
community. Since the underlying zoning only allows applicant four units, the impacts on the
community is less than the existing lodge use (i.e. "change"). This would allow the development
of four additional residential units in the City. while maintaining the status quo from a
community impact perspective. Logic would suggest that the "residual.", units could be
converted into 1.6 additional lodge units without additional impacts or mitigation.
No simple method exists for determining the relative change in community impacts between
lodge units and commercial/office uses that would be allowed by underlying zoning. The current
method of determining employee generation is based on a employee per square footage
relationship which is different for each zone .district. Staff would suggest that each
commercial/office conversion be handled independently with assistance from the Housing
Office.
Modification of Change In Use Provisions - The current change in use provisions force all
projects developing more than one dwelling unit to compete through growth management for
allocations, currently held at: 4 dwelling units per year. Staff would recommend that a separate
se �tion be developed addressing only conversions of lodges formally in the LP zone district. A
draft of proposed language is summarized below.
Change in Use. A change in use of an existing structure previously zoned LP to either
commercial/office or residential use, or the expansion of an existing lodge previously
0
zoned LP shall be exempt from growth management competition and scoring
procedures, provided that the following conditions are met:
(1) The Planning and Zoning .Commission determines that a minimal amount of
additional employees will be generated by the change in use and that employee housing
will be provided for additional employees generated, including an analysis and credit for
existing employee housing provided on site and the incremental impact between the
existing use and the proposed conversion;
(2) The Planning and Zoning Commission determines that a minimal amount of
parking spaces will be demanded by the change in use and that parking will be provided
or cash in lieu will be used,
(3) ' . The Planning and Zoning Commission determines that there will be a minimal
visual impact on the neighborhood from the change in ace;
(4) The Planning and Zoning Commission determines that minimal demand will be
placed on the City's public facilities from the change in use;
(S) No zone change is required;
(6) The proposal is consistent with the Aspen Area Community Plan.
The proposed conversion will be deducted from the appropriate GMQS Lodge
Conversion pool.
Amendments to the GMQS Allotment Pool, The GMQS system currently in place controls
growth by limiting the total number of square footage (commercial/office) and units (residential
and tourist accommodations) that can occur in the Metro area. The system controls the rate of
growth by only allowing a specific amount of development in a given year, and furthermore
establishes a competition process for annual allocations. The change in use provisions
summarized above exempt such conversions from competition, but if the Commission supports
the conversion concept, a separate pool must be developed to allow for annual allocations
available to the LP zone district to draw from.
Staff does have concerns regarding both the rate of conversion and eventual number of free
market units or office/commercial square footage that could be developed in the City as a result
of lodge conversion. As shown on Table 1, staff has estimated the potential number of free
market units and-commercial/office square footage that could be developed assuming each LP
property reverts to underlying zoning. This summary of density is based on the dimensional
requirements in each zone district as a function of total lot size. The buildout analysis has not
deducted vacated right-of-ways or other physical features that may further reduce allowable
densities or square footage. The total, potential buildout shown at.bottom of the table assumes
maximum residential or commercial, development of each property.
The existing ceilings for free market homes are 192 total dwelling units, with an annual
allocation of 4 units. Commercial development is held to a buildout of 400,000 square feet, with
an annual allotment of 4,000 square feet in the Office (0) zone. Conversion of all lodges to free
market homes could result in the development of 82 dwelling units in the Aspen Metro area,
7
which under existing GMQS ceilings would require nearly 20 years of annual allocations.
Conversion to allowed office uses would result in 108,434 square feet of additional commercial
square footage, requiring 27 years of annual allocations.
Staff notes that it is unlikely that total conversion would ever occur, but it. is also virtually
impossible to precisely define either the total number or rate of potential lodge conversions.
Changes necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of lodges would include the creation of a
separate pool for use by LP properties. This would have to include both commercial and
residential allotments.
Residential GMQS Quota Changes
Total Units - Representations have been made in the past that "only a few" lodges are interested
in total conversion to free market dwelling units. Staff would suggest that the loss of more than
20 percent of the total units/pillows from the lodges zoned LP would represent a significant
impact on tourist accommodations within the City. Twenty percent of the total pillows within
the LP zone district would be approximately 240, and twenty percent of total units would be
approximately 98. The overall conversion rate, when averaged over all lodge units within
differing zone districts is approximately 6.0 lodge units per 1 free market dwelling unit (494
pillows/82 free market residences = 6.02). A starting point for total allowed conversion units
based on this approach would allow for the creation of 16 units (98 lodge units/6.02 lodges per 1
free market = 16) outside of the existing GMQS allotments.
Rate - The total rate of conversion is a method by which the City could control the pace of
conversion, and allow for the review of the effectiveness and secondary impacts (i.e. community
balance issues) of the revisions of the LP zone district. Due to the complexity of the LP issue,
staff would suggest that a two year program be established, at which time these impacts could be
assessed. Assuming a two year program, eight residential units could be allocated per year.
An alternative proposed by the applicant would allow a greater pool made of allocations from
1995 - 1997 be made available to allow lodges who want to convert the ability to due so as soon
as possible. Scenarios discussed include using a two-year pool of 16 units to allow immediate
conversion, and. the pool would return to eight the second year.
Commercial/Office Quota Changes
Rate and Total Square Footage - A ceiling on commercial LP conversion is more difficult than
residential conversion due to the to the mixed use potential that is allowed in the Office zone
district. The current square footage limitation imposed by GMQS allows 4,000 square feet of net
leasable commercial and office space in the Office zone. No commercial allocations have been
requested for 1996. Staff would suggest that the same 4,000 square foot pool be established for
LP conversion, and that the allocation be divided into a two year program. This, would allow
4,000 square foot of conversion per year, for a total of 8,000 square feet.
Lodge Expansion
A particular concern on the part of the business community expressed during the roundtable was
the loss of bed base. Staff notes that approximately 174 units have already been lost due to the
use of small lodges for employee housing mitigation. With that said, staff would suggest that the
integrity of the GMQS system would not be compromised if the existing 11 units allowed for
8
expansion purposes, and that a review be established as an exemption from competition. Once
the pool was exhausted, competition would be required. Mitigation would be addressed using
the conversion methodology described earlier.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Due to the complexity of the LP issue, staff recognizes that
the Commission may request additional information from staff regarding the proposed text
changes. Based on the potential for further discussion, staff has offered two motions for the
Staff would request that the Council provide direction on the proposed revisions.
Motion # 1 - "I move to approve the proposed revisions to the LP Zone District as described in
the Planning Office Memo dated June 22, 1996."
Motion #2 - "Imove to table the proposed revisions to the LP Zone District to address additional
issues with the proposed changes."

MEMORANDUM
To: Aspen Planing and Zoning Commission
From: Stan Clauson, Community Development Director
Date: 16 July 1996
Re: Biennial Review of Aspen Meadows Traffic Mitigation Plan
Summarv: Ordinance 14, Series of 1991 requires that the Aspen Meadows and the Aspen
Music Festival and School, acting as co -developers for Harris Hall, shall conduct a review and
submit a written on the development's traffic mitigation plan to the Planning Director on the
anniversary date of the final passage of the ordinance in the years 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and
2000, and shall continue to provide such reviews and reports every two (2) years thereafter
"unless deemed unnecessary by the City Council." The anniversary of the passage of the
ordinance was 10 June 1991. Therefore, reports have been solicited and received from the Aspen
Meadows and the Aspen Music Festival and School. They are attached as Exhibits A and B
respectively. The ordinance further states that the City will review the report and may require
modification to the development's traffic mitigation program. These modifications are to be
approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission at a public hearing. This hearing is scheduled
for 16 July 1996. Representatives of the West End neighborhood have been sent the report and
specifically invited to participate.
Staff is aware that there have also been more frequent than biennial discussions with Planning &
Zoning of West End traffic issues. The last such discussion was the subject of a memorandum
from Robert Gish, then Public Works Director and Kim Johnson, formerly of our office, to the
Planning & Zoning Commission dated 28 February 1995. This memorandum details some items
of consensus and non -consensus between neighborhood representatives and the developers, and
further identified "Recommendations for the 1995 season." It was presented at the 7 March
1995 Planning & Zoning Commission hearing. Please see the list of recommendations provided
as Exhibit C. Some West End residents have expressed concern that certain of these
recommendations have not been implemented. Staff is not entirely clear about the disposition of
these recommendations, and has asked the appropriate departmental representative to attend the
public hearing to discuss the status of implementation.
Recommendations: Staff has reviewed the reports and recommends no significant changes for
the next biennium. It is clear that the Aspen Music Festival and School, working in concert with
RFTA, have sought to use the smaller, quieter carbon fiber busses whenever possible to serve
Harris Hall rehearsals and concerts. A further implementation of smaller busses may be possible
with additions to the RFTA fleet. The ten recommendations presented in the 1995 memo should
be reviewed for their implementation status, and if not yet implemented, new directives may be
issued from the Planning & Zoning Commission with respect to implementation.

ASPEN MEADOWS TRAFFIC MITIGATION PLAN
The following is an update of the Aspen Meadows traffic mitigation plan as requested
every two years by the City of Aspen.
Guests accommodated at the Aspen Meadows property are encouraged not to bring or
rent vehicles during their stay at the Meadows. Aspen Institute participants are sent
advance information (see attachment A) regarding transporation in and around Aspen
which describes the Auto -disincentive Program in the city.
1. Van Service
The Aspen Meadows currently operates four vans: two are 9-passenger, one is a 12-
passenger and one is a 10-passenger van.
a. Airport Van Service: Complimentary van service is offered to and from the airport
to all guests arriving and departing. Guests are advised of this service not only in their
advance information packet but at time of reservation as well. They are also advised
specifically that they do not need to rent a car while in Aspen because of this and other
transportation services offered. Representative one way passenger counts for peak
months are as follows:
August 1995 726
February 1996 405
b. Van Service to/from Town: Complimentary van service is offered every 30 minutes
to and from downtown Aspen between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. daily. The
shuttle goes to both Ruby Park as well as the base of the Gondola. Representative one
way passenger counts for peak months are as follows:
August 1995 628
February 1996 1701
In addition, the Aspen Meadows subsidizes employee RFTA passes at approximately
$2,200 per month.
2. Chartered Vehicles for Group Activities
Chartered vehicles are used for any group activity beyond the capacity or availability of
the vans operated by the property.
The Aspen Institute, Aspen Meadows contracts with Aspen Limo for group excursions to
Toklat-at-Ashcroft, PineCreek Cookhouse, T-Lazy 7 Ranch, etc. Colorado Rift -Raft
picks up the guests at the Meadows for raft trips. Blazing Adventures also picks up
guests at the Meadows for excursions they have organized. Representative samples:
August 1995 608 passengers
February 1996 203 passengers
Additionally RFTA has arranged for skier transportation to and from the Meadows
property for specific international groups such as Club Stumboch.
3. Guest Parking
No parking is permitted at the individual lodge units. Guests arriving by automobile have
their cars and their luggage unloaded upon arrival and their luggage is transported to
lodge units by electric carts. There is also a daily charge of $4.00 to park an automobile
at the Aspen Meadows parking garage which acts as a disincentive to having an auto on
property.
4. Trail System
The footbridge over the Roaring Fork connects the property to the Rio Grand recreational
trail. Pedestrian and bicycle access is in place from the West End at both Seventh and
Eighth Streets to Meadows Road and from Third Street via the Music Tent and the
Boettcher Seminar Building.
5. Bicycle Facilities
Rental bicycles are available for Meadows guests at the Health Center. Bicycle racks are
placed throughout the property. Summer guests are asked to reserve a bike at the time of
reservation.
6. Promotional Materials
All promotional collateral emphasizes the availability of complimentary transportation,
bicycles, the ease of walking and discourage the need for personal automobiles. The
focus is to precondition the guests so that they will choose not to rent a car upon arrival in
Aspen.
7. Employee Parking
Limited employee parking is provided on property for employees for whom a vehicle is
essential in performance of their job and for those employees in carpools of three or more
persons. Employees are encouraged to take public transportation and RFTA bus passes
are subsidized at approximately $2200 per month. Employees are also encouraged to
make use of the van service to and from the center of town.
8. Delivery Truck Restrictions
Vendors have been advised that delivery times at the Meadows will be limited to the
hours of 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. All vehicles have been told to use
Seventh Street from Highway 82. Signage on property indicates these hours for
deliveries. At least one of our vendors, however, Louis Swiss Pastry, must deliver baked
goods prior to 7:00 a.m. but uses a small van without any noise impact.
In addition, a stop sign has been added at the intersection of 8th St. and Meadows Rd. and
two speed bumps have been installed near the entrance to the tennis courts and parking
garage to help slow any traffic on Meadows Road.
The fare is $54 one way; $72 - $108 round trip. Accompanying children, ages
2-15, pay 1/2 the adult fare. Call (800) 872-7245 (800-USA-RAIL) for reservations and

Transportation in and around Aspen:
Auto -disincentive Program: The City of Aspen is implementing an auto
disincentive program throughout the city and the surrounding area. The Aspen
Institute and the Music Associates of Aspen are participating in this pilot program.
The Aspen Institute has made a commitment to the City of Aspen to try to reduce
the auto dependence of its visitors, and to encourage public transportation, walking
and bicycles. We hope that our participants will work with us in implementing this
commitment. Van service is readily available from Aspen Meadows to and from
town as well as to and from the Aspen airport. Aspen has a free bus system (RFTA)
which runs regularly throughout the city, and bicycles are also a very popular mode
of transportation and are available at Aspen Meadows.
Most of your traveling in Aspen will be for short distances. As stated above,
participants are provided with free transportation from the Aspen Meadows as
required to and from the Aspen airport as well as to the center of town. The
downtown area of Aspen is small and about 1-1/2 miles from the Aspen Meadows
complex.
Rental cars: Some off -campus apartments may be a 40-minute walk from the
Aspen Institute. Therefore, if you require off -campus housing, you may find
renting a car more convenient, but -not necessary, for traveling, grocery shopping,
and attending evening functions in the area. In no instance will The Aspen
Institute be able to subsidize the cost of rental cars for participants. There is a daily
charge of $4.00 to park an auto at Aspen Meadows. Hertz, Avis, Budget and Thrifty
rental car companies have airport offices in Denver and in Aspen. If you plan to
10
drive to Aspen on your own, please proceed directly to The Aspen Meadows to pick
up your arrival packet (maps enclosed).
If you are renting a car or driving your own car to Aspen, please be aware that
the Aspen Institute, Aspen Meadows campus is located in a quiet residential
neighborhood. Please be respectful of all traffic signs and drive accordingly.
Arrangements to rent cars can be made either in Aspen or Denver.
Bicycles can be rented at Aspen Meadows by the day, week or month. The
Aspen free transit bus system provides transportation in and around Aspen with
drop-off near The Aspen Institute at the'comer of Fifth and Gillespie and near
Aspen Meadows at Eighth and Highway 82. A bus schedule will be available upon
your arrival in Aspen.

ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL
-MEMO AND SCHOOL
To: City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Edward P. Sweeney
Subject: Traffic Mitigation P an
Date: June 26, 1996
In preparation for the biennial review of the Traffic Mitigation Plan for the Aspen Meadows, I
offer the following comments about our efforts towards reducing vehicle impacts resulting from
our activities at the Aspen Meadows. I refer to specific sections of the adopted Traffic
Mitigation Plan.
1. Promotional Materials: We continue to publish our map of pedestrian routes. bus
service, and walking tours as a means towards getting our patrons to leave their vehicles at home.
This material is printed in our Calendar of Events with a circulation of 120,000, our program
book which is seen by over 100,000 patrons, and is included with every single ticket sale. Our
student handbook encourages our students to utilize the bus service or ride bicycles while in
Aspen. We continue to provide music students with free use of bicycles owned by the Aspen
Music Festival and School.
2. PedestrianBicycle Ways: With the assistance of the City of Aspen Streets Department.
we continue to encourage use of Fourth Street and Lake Avenue as pedestrian routes. These
routes are specifically marked on our transit maps. The reconfiguration of our Gillespie Street
parking lots has succeeded in providing an appropriate pedestrian link between the Fourth Street
walkway and our performance facilities. The enhanced bus drop off area continues to be
improved with walkways, signage, and a new pay phone installed this past winter. Our recently
planted wildflower meadow to the south of Harris Concert Hall will provide a wonderful new
pedestrian access to our facilities for people approaching from the Lake Avenue walkway.
3. Enhanced Transit Service: R.F.T.A. continues to provide transit service between Rubey
Park, the Aspen Meadows performance facilities, and the Music School Campus. This service
continues to be the cornerstone of our auto -disincentive program. Out of 805 students registered
so far this year, only 204 brought their cars to Aspen. The rest of the students rely on bicycles
and R.F.T.A. to get around town. I feel that this statistic is a testament to the effectiveness of our
transit service. The only problem continues to be lateness to rehearsals and performances when
students rely on the bus to drop them at the tent, only to discover that the bus cannot drive
through the west end due to insufficient numbers of passengers. I still feel that consistency and
reliability are essential to getting people to use public transportation.
4. Truck Restrictions: We continue to us Third Street as our sole access between Main
Street and our performance facilities.

5. Residential Parking Permit Program: Given that the City -implemented permit parking
program does not extend all the way down to the Meadows, we have not as yet implemented a
paid parking plan for our Gillespie Street lots. I would be concerned that, even with permit
parking in the neighborhood, paid parking in the Gillespie lots would shift parking impacts into
the neighborhood. As it is currently structured, Residential Permit Parking allows two hour
parking during the day and is not in effect after 6:00 pm and on Sundays. This essentially
eliminates it as an effective deterrent for concert parking. Also, given the limited size of our
Gillespie Street lots, further neighborhood parking restrictions should only be implemented with
further significant enhancements to the bus service.
We feel that we are in complete compliance with the Traffic Mitigation Plan as approved. We
will continue to monitor traffic impacts resulting from our activities at the Aspen Meadows.
Each component of the plan is constantly reviewed and revised as new ideas come forward. It is
encouraging to see that more and more of our students and patrons choose to use the alternatives
that we have provided. I look forward to continued progress in reducing traffic throughout
Aspen.

MEMORANDUM
To: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
,
From: Robert Gish, Public Works Director
Kim Johnson, Planning Department
Date: February 28, 1995
RE: The Aspen Meadows Traffic Mitigation Plan
umm ra: This presentation to the Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission is a summary
of the 1994 season events with recommendations from the committee on changes for the 1995
season. This discussion is not meant to be a review of the conditions of approvals of the
Meadows P.U.D. That action was taken earlier by P & Z and found to be in compliance.
The committee reviewing the traffic impact could not agree with a unanimous consensus on
all of the issues. Each individual or entity was given the opportunity to write a summary of
their issues to be included as part of this referral memo. The cut off for the summaries to be
included as part of this memo was February 28, 1995. The attached comments were received
in time to be included as part of the packet:
A. RFTA = Paul Hilts - February 20, 1995 letter to Bob Gish
B. Aspen Music Festival and School - February 28, 1995 letter to Bob Gish
C. James D. Peterson - February 28, 1995 letter to Bob Gish
D. West Side Traffic Committee - February 28, 1995 letter to P & Z
Items of Consensus:
* Progress has been made by eliminating 75% of the bus trips through the west end.
* Support environmental impact concerns by reducing PM 10, noise and dust.
* Support the use of public transportation.
* Enhance the pedestrian and bicycle experience.
* RFTA has a flexible schedule and will support the communities requirements.
* The Aspen community places a high value on the cultural activities and
performances conducted on the Meadows property.
* Paid parking is not a consideration for the MAA parking lots at this time.
* West end residents have less of a problem with autos then buses.
* Maintain existing bus routes and drop off locations at the parking lot.
* Support of the paid parking plan.
* Signage will remain the same in 1995 as installed in 1994.
Items of Non -Consensus:
* Number of daily trips and schedule of buses through the west end.
* Routes of the buses through the west end.
* Issues relating to the ending time of events.
* Noise and pollution of buses through the west end.
* Some residents want year around bus service through the west end.
* Need for smaller quieter buses (request of west enders).
* Smaller buses would not have capacity to meet transportation needs of RFTAIMAA
(smaller buses would require more trips).
* The use of a combination of sizes of buses. Big buses for major events and smaller buses
for off peak schedules.
* Signage may be considered visual pollution.
* West end residents want speed limit reduced.
* Reduce parking impact to west end residential areas.
Recommendations for 1995 season
1. Maintain the signage, speed bumps and traffic patterns established for the 1994 season.
Install the speed bumps on new Meadows road which were not used in 1994.
2. Request additional traffic enforcement from the Aspen Police Department.
3. Request approval from the Aspen City Council for additional antique street lights on
Gillespie and Fourth street. This would improve the safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
4. Request that a pedestrian walkway be established between Third and Fourth on Gillespie
on the parking lot side of the roadway to improve the safety for pedestrians before and
after events. This would be a split rail fencing and gravel walkway which would be taken
down each year after the season is over.
5. The MAA will enhance the bus pickup spots in the parking lot. This would be
accomplished by establishing designated bus stop locations, with safety cross overs,
concrete sidewalks and additional signage. The MAA will develop their own plan and
implement the ideas before the 1995 season starts.
6. The MAA will expand the coordinations position duties to include information to
vehicles on Gillespie telling them that the parking lot is full and where would be the best
place to look for a space.
7. Close the service road from Third/Gillespie to the back of the te.'lt area to all parking.
Parking along the road creates a problem at the end of events. The City of Aspen Streets
Department will post this area no parking for the season.
8. Require all courtesy vans, taxis and all forms of public transportation to use the front
drop off area. These vehicles will not have access to the back of the tent.
9. Move the bus shelter to an area designated by the MAA near the bus drop and pick up
area. This will further define the pick up and drop off area.
10. Provide a phone in the bus shelter.
.Summary: The City of Aspen Public Works and Planning Departments have attended all of
the traffic committee mitigation discussions. We have also spent several evenings observing
the start and ending of MAA events. We have had excellent responses from the MAA, Aspen
Institute, RFTA and citizens working on the committee. In our opinion the events and
supporting functions for the events all went very smoothly.
Within each of our meetings, individuals were allowed to express their opinions and thoughts
on issues under discussion. We maintained respect for each others opinion, however there is
no way that everyone's individual concerns can be accommodated. The committee as a whole
must place individual concerns aside and make reasonable compromises for the benefit of the
maj ority.
What City staff has heard and learned is that the MAA, Aspen Institute and RFTA are experts
in what they do, when they have been challenged, they responded appropriately and
professionally.
Recommendations: City staff recommends that the 1995 MAA season basically be the same
as what was completed in 1994. We further recommend that the recommendations in this
memo be implemented for the 1995 season. To implement these recommendations, we will
require funding from City Council for the lighting and commitment from the MAA that they
will complete the recommended work.
We want to thank and encourage all of those individuals to work together in tweaking and
making the system better. Our big opportunity will be with the buses, schedules, sizes, noise
and pollution.

I am writing to confirm my telephone reminder that the biennial report relating to the West End
Traffic Mitigation Plan was due on 10 June 1996. This is a required report per Ordinance 14,
Series of 1991 which established the approval with conditions for Hams Hall as an amendment to
the Aspen 'Meadows SPA. Detailed requirements for the contents of the report may be found in
Ordinance 14, 1991 as part of Condition 43.
Based upon your statement that the report will be prepared and submitted to the Community

hearing at the regular meeting of the Aspen Planning & Zoning Commission on 16 July 1996 to
discuss the report and imIte public comment. Please let me know if that date is inconvenient,
otherwise I will assume that we can go forward with a public hearing at that time.
