MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning
RE: Text Amendment for Sections 24-7-902,
Development
DATE: May 5, 1992
Planned Unit
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks to amend the Land Use Code to remove
a residential duplex development from the Planned Unit Development
review. In 1990 the City Council directed staff to eliminate the
necessity for a duplex to go through the two-step Planned Unit
Development review process as required in the Land Use Code.
APPLICANT: Dan Patterson, as represented by Don Huff
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Amend Section 24-7-902, Planned Unit
Development
STAFF COMMENTS: In 1990, staff was directed to reduce the
development review burden for a residential duplex by eliminating
the PUD review requirement. Currently the development of a duplex
on a parcel with a mandatory PUD overlay must go through a two-
step PUD review process. Council and staff have concluded that no
public benefit is gained through this level of review for a duplex
structure. However, additional review may be required depending
upon parcel location, whether Ordinance 1 is applicable or other
development considerations e.g. 8040 Greenline Review, Stream
Margin Review etc.
Following are the proposed text changes (bold indicates proposed
language):
I. That Article 7, Division 9, Section 24-7-902 of the Municipal
Code shall be amended to read as follows:
Section 7-902 Applicability.
Before any development shall occur on land designated planned
unit development (PUD) on the official zone district map or before
development can occur as a planned unit development (PUD) , it shall
receive PUD approval pursuant to the terms of the division,
provided that in no event shall compliance with this division be
required for the construction of a detached or duplex residential
dwelling on a separate lot. All land with a planned unit
development (PUD) designation shall also be designated with an
underlying zone district designation which is determined most
appropriate for that land. A development application for a planned
unit development may be applied for by the property owners of any
proposed development in the City of Aspen that is on a parcel of
land greater than twenty-seven thousand (27,000) square feet. A
planned unit development (PUD) designation may be applied to land
intended for residential, commercial, tourist or other development
purposes.
APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Pursuant to Section 7-1102 the
following standards of review apply for a text amendment:
a. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any
applicable portions of this chapter.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment is not in conflict with any
portions of this chapter.
b. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all
elements of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan.
RESPONSE: The Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan does not specifically
address this type of code amendment. However, the 1992 Draft
Community Plan purposes to de-emphasize regulation of residential
development. The Housing Sub -committee has challenged the
regulations to be more user friendly to reduce development costs.
C. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with
surrounding Zone Districts and land uses, considering existing
land use and neighborhood characteristics.
RESPONSE: This text amendment will not eliminate other required
development review that may apply to duplex and single family
residential development alike. Most areas of town that are zoned
with a PUD overlay are adjacent to water ways, on steep slopes or
above the 8040 Greenline which require a separate review for these
Environmentally Sensitive Areas.
d . The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation
and road safety.
RESPONSE: The amendment will not affect traffic or roads.
e. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment
would result in demands on public facilities, and whether and
the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the
capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited
to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply,
parks, drainage, schools, and emergency medical facilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed amendment will not affect the demand on
public facilities or cause a negative impact on the capacity of the
community's facilities.
2
f. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment
would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural
environment.
RESPONSE: Potential environmental impacts would be assessed on a
site by site basis (e.g. stream margin, 8040 Greenline) by a
separate review independent of a required PUD review.
g. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and
compatible with the community character in the City of Aspen.
RESPONSE: A recent legal interpretation determined that the slope
density reduction criteria in the PUD review section of the Land
Use Code cannot reduce the density from a duplex to a single family
home if a duplex is a permitted use on the site. Eliminating PUD
review for a duplex will not cause a development that is not
allowed on the parcel.
h. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the
subject parcel or the surrounding neighborhood which support
the proposed amendment.
RESPONSE: This is a text amendment that will affect all duplex
development on parcels with a PUD overlay.
i. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with
the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and
intent of this chapter.
RESPONSE: The amendment is consistent with recent Council goals
to reduce redundant development review.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend to Council approval of this Code Amendment-. to
Section 24-7-902 of the Municipal Code finding that the proposed
Code Amendment is not in conflict with the Land Use Code or public
interest.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to recommend to City Council approval
of the text amendment for Section 24-7-902 as proposed in Planning
office memo dated May 5, 1992 finding that the proposed amendment
is not in conflict with the Land Use Code or public interest.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning
RE: Text Amendment for Sections 24-3-101, 24-5-208 and 24-
8-104 Affecting the Affordable Housing Zone District
DATE: May 5, 1992
SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
have directed staff to amend the Affordable Housing (AH) Zone
District. The amendment would enable the development of free
market commercial square footage and a parking garage within the
AH Zone District.
The Commission tabled review of these amendments, at their March
17, 1992 meeting, to give staff more time to work on the amendments
and the Commission another opportunity to review the -proposal.
STAFF COMMENTS: Staff has participated in numerous worksessions
with the Commission and Council regarding the rezoning of the Kraut
property to AH Zone District. As part of those discussions, the
concept of a mixed -use development was considered. As a result,
staff has proposed to amend the AH Zone District, for those parcels
that are within the commercial or office zone districts, to allow
up to 40% of the total square footage to be free market commercial
and residential development with a minimum of 60% of the total
square footage as deed restricted dwelling units.
Following are the proposed text changes (bold indicates proposed
language) :
I. That Article 3, DEFINITIONS, Section 3-101 of the Municipal
Code shall be amended to read as follows:
Mixed -use development means a combination of residential and
commerical/off ice land uses in one structure or structures on one
parcel.
II. That Article 5, Division 2, Section 24-5-208 of the Municipal
Code shall be amended to read as follows:
Section 5-208 Affordable housing (AH)
A. Purpose. The purpose of the Affordable Housing (AH) Zone
District is to provide for the use of land for the
production of low, moderate and middle income affordable
housing and Resident Occupied Units. The zone district
also permits a limited component of free market dwelling
units or commercial square footage to off -set the cost
of developing affordable housing. It is contemplated
that land may also be subdivided in connection with a
development plan. The Affordable Housing (AH) Zone
District is intended for residential use primarily by
permanent residents of the Community. Recreational and
institutional uses customarily found in proximity to
residential uses are included as conditional uses. To
promote mixed -use development within the commerical core,
sites within the commerical and office zone districts may
be considered for rezoning to Affordable Housing for a
mixed -use development. For those mixed -use projects, in
the commercial and office zone districts, a mandatory
PUD overlay is required to establish appropriate
dimensional requirements that are consistent with the
commercial and office zone districts.
Lands in the Affordable Housing (AH) Zone District should
be scattered throughout the City to ensure a mix of
housing types, including those which are affordable by
its working residents; at the same time the Affordable
Housing (AH) Zone District can protect the City's
neighborhoods from rezoning pressures that other non -
community oriented zone districts may produce. Further,
lands in the Affordable Housing (AH) Zone District should
be located within walking distance of the center of the
City, or on transit routes.
B. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted as of
right in the Affordable Housing (AH) Zone District.
1. Residential uses in residential zone districts
restricted to low, moderate and middle income
affordable housing guidelines and resident occupied
units as determined in the Affordable Housing
guidelines must comprise at least 70 percent of -the
unit mix, of the development. Free market
residential development may comprise up to 30
percent of the unit mix and 40 percent of the
bedroom mix of the development. Residential uses
may be comprised of single-family, duplex and multi-
family dwelling units;
2. Residential uses in a mixed -use development deed
restricted to low, moderate and middle income
affordable housing and resident occupied units as
determined in the Affordable Housing guidelines must
comprise at least 60 percent of the total square
footage of the development. Free market residential
development must be combined with commercial/office
development and shall not exceed 40 percent of the
total square footage of the development.
3. Home occupations; and
2
44
4. Accessory buildings and uses.
C. Conditional uses. Free market commercial development,
which may include free market residential development,
shall not exceed 40 percent of the total square footage
of a mixed -use development. Parking for on -site users
or parking approved as an essential public facility
pursuant to Section 8-104 C (1) (b) shall be excluded from
the total square footage of the free market
commercial/off ice and free . market residential
development. The following uses are permitted as
conditional uses in Affordable Housing (AH) Zone
Districts located within the commercial or office zone
districts and are subject to the standards and procedures
established in Art. 7, Div. 3.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend to Council approval of this Code Amendment to
Section 24-3-101, 24-5-208 and 8-104 of the Municipal Code finding
that the proposed Code Amendment is not in conflict with the Land
Use Code or public interest and that the amendment is consistent
with the Goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the Draft 1992
Community Plan and will not cause negative effects upon the
downtown business area.
If the Commission has substantive changes to the amendment, staff
recommends tabling the amendment for further review and discussion
by the Commission and staff.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planning
RE: Penn Conditional Use Review
DATE: May 5, 1992
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to remodel a single family home
and remodel the detached carriage house providing an approximately
307 square foot (net liveable), accessory dwelling unit. Staff
recommends approval of conditional use for a detached accessory
dwelling unit.
APPLICANT: Susan and Paul Penn as represented by Jake Vickery
LOCATION: 134 East Bleeker, Aspen
ZONING: R-6
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: To provide a detached studio accessory
dwelling unit.
REFERRAL COMMENTS:
Engineering - Having reviewed the above application, and having
made a site inspection, the engineering department has the
following comments:
1. Site drainage - one of the considerations of a development
application for conditional use is that there -are adequate public
facilities to service the use. one* public facility that is
inadequate is the drainage system. The new development plan must
provide for no more than historic flows to leave the site. Any
increase to historic storm run-off must be maintained on site.
2. Right-of-way - the new driveway cannot exceed ten feet in width
and requires an excavation permit for construction. In addition,
any other design considerations of development within public right-
of-way must be approved by either the streets department, the
engineering department or the parks department. Landscaping shall
be provided in the public right-of-way adjoining the building site
in accordance with.the adopted street landscaping plan.
Recommended Conditions of Approval
1. The construction drawings submitted for permit must have
provisions for maintaining all but historical storm run-off on
site, i.e. drywells.
2. The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement
districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing
improvements in the public right-of-way.
Housing - Having reviewed and the plans and made a site visit the
Housing Authority has the following comments:
1. Prior to the issuance of any building permits the applicant
shall submit floor plans and elevations of the carriage house
accurately describing the layout and living space of the unit for
Housing Authority approval.
2. applicant shall record a standard deed restriction for an
accessory dwelling unit.
3. The unit is just barely over the minimum size for a studio
unit, the Housing Authority staff strongly recommends that if
acceptable to the HPC and planning office, an exterior deck on the
west elevation should be provide for a more adequate dwelling unit.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional Use Review - Pursuant to Section 7-304 the criteria
for a conditional use review are as follows:
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan,
and with the intent of the Zone District in which it is
proposed to be located; and
RESPONSE: The proposed accessory dwelling unit will be
approximately 307 square feet on the second floor of the existing
detached carriage house. The applicant will comply with the
Housing Guidelines and deed restrict the unit as a resident
occupied unit for residents of Pitkin County. Provision of an
accessory dwelling unit is consistent with the City's policy to
encourage affordable housing in all neighborhoods. In addition the
applicant is converting an existing detached carriage housing which
is consistent with the goals of the Cottage Infill program.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the
mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the immediate
vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; and
RESPONSE: Cottage Infill was a program designed with the West End
in mind. This carriage house is on the alley and will be the
second type of accessory dwelling unit on this alley. The
provision of the accessory dwelling unit in the carriage house will
not increase the size of the building unless the applicant extends
a second floor balcony to provide an outdoor amenity. However any
OA
exterior changes to the carriage house will be reviewed by the HPC
for historic compatibility.
C. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of
the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects,
including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular
circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise,
vibrations and odor on surrounding properties; and
RESPONSE: The accessory dwelling unit will have no adverse effect
upon surrounding properties. The carriage house will continue to
appear.the same. although the unit is only 307 square feet of net
liveable a site visit confirmed that the unit is very liveable.
To help offset the small unit size staff is strongly recommending
the provision of a second floor balcony to provide some private
outdoor space for the tenants thus enhancing the liveability of the
unit.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve
the conditional use including but not limited to roads,
potable water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protec-
tion, emergency medical services, hospital and medical
services, drainage systems, and schools; and
RESPONSE: No new services are required to redevelop the site with
a primary residence and a 307 square foot accessory dwelling unit
with three parking spaces. The Engineering Department is requiring
the applicant to maintain historic storm runoff patterns and any
increased storm runoff must be contained on -site.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet
the incremental need for increased employees generated by the
conditional use; and
RESPONSE: The proposal includes a studio accessory dwelling unit
for employees of Pitkin County. An increase in employees is not
expected by the provision of an accessory dwelling unit.
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
RESPONSE: The conditional use meets the requirements of the Aspen
Area Comprehensive Plan and other requirements of this chapter by
integrating a community housing need into the redevelopment of the
property.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use
for the detached accessory dwelling unit. with the following
conditions prior to the issuance of any building permits:
1. The applicant shall submit the appropriate deed restriction
3
to the Housing Authority for approval. The deed restriction shall
state that the accessory unit meets the housing guidelines for such
units, meets the definition of Resident Occupied Unit, and if
rented, shall be rented for periods of six months or longer. Upon
approval by the Housing Authority, the applicant shall record the
deed restrictions with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's
office.
2. A copy of the recorded deed restriction for the accessory
dwelling unit must be forwarded to the Planning Office.
3. The applicant shall agree to join any future improvement
districts which may be formed for the purpose of constructing
improvements in the public right-of-way.
4. The applicant shall submit floor plans and elevations of the
carriage house accurately describing the layout and living space
of the unit for Housing Authority approval.
5. The construction drawings submitted for permit must have
provisions for maintaining all but historical storm run-off on
site, i.e. drywells and must be reviewed by the Engineering
Department.
6. All representations that are made in the application and those
reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
be complied with.

TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Kim Johnson, Planner
RE: Patterson Duplex PUD Final Development Plan and
Conditional Use for an Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit -
Public Hearing
DATE: May 5, 1992
SUMMARY: The Planning Off ice recommends approval of the Patterson
Duplex Final PUD Plan and Conditional Use for an attached accessory
dwelling unit with conditions.
APPLICANT: Dan Patterson, represented by Don Huff
LOCATION: 580 Cemetery Lane (Lot 2 Castle Creek Subdivision) The
lot is 54,256 s.f., extending from Cemetery Lane down to Castle
Creek.
ZONING: R-30 PUD
- APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant requests Final PUD approval
for expansion of a duplex and Conditional Use for the voluntary
creation of an accessory dwelling unit. A duplex currently exists
on the site. The applicant wishes to expand the structure and
reconfigure the internal layout so that the new expansion becomes
one unit of the duplex and a portion of the existing building
becomes an accessory dwelling unit. The accessory dwelling unit
will be approximately 642 s.f. Because the ADU is 100o above
grade, the applicant is eligible for, and is seeking a FAR bonus
of 250 s.f. for the principal structure. The total FAR for the
proposed building will be approximately 7,328 s.f. The applicant
has submitted plan and elevation drawings. See Attachment "A".
PROCESS: This PUD review is a two-step process. The Planning
Commission shall make a determination on the Conditional Use for
the accessory dwelling unit and shall forward a recommendation to
City Council on the Final PUD Plan. Council will then approve or
deny the PUD Plan as well as the request for condominiumization of
the duplex.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Complete referral memos are attached as Exhibit
"B"
Environmental Health: The new half duplex has two fireplaces shown
on the plans. These may only be gas log units.
Engineering: Chuck Roth has reviewed the proposal and forwards the
following comments:
1) Site Drainage must comply with Section 24-7-1004 C. 4 . f . of the
Municipal Code. Historic on -site drainage shall be
maintained. Roof and other drainage cannot be discharged on
to the hillside causing erosion. Storm drainage during
construction should be controlled with haybales to prevent
erosion and disruption of vegetation.
2) The Final Plan must clearly indicate the size and location of
parking spaces.
3) In order to protect vegetation, construction activities could
be restricted to building footprint with use of fencing.
4 ) Cemetery Lane is identified as a primary commuter route in the
Pedestrian Bikeway Plan. The property owner should construct
a sidewalk area (not required to be paved), the design of
which approved by the Engineering Department. Some small
trees may need to be removed. The improvement should be in
place prior to signing the final inspection or final plat for
condominiumization. Also, a curb, gutter, and sidewalk
agreement must be signed by the applicant for future
improvements.
5) Any work in the public right-of-way must be reviewed by
Engineering and receive permits from the Streets Department.
6) A 41x4' pedestal easement must be indicated on the plat.
STAFF COMMENTS: In the summer of 1990, the Patterson's received
a Planning Director's approval to expand a single family dwelling
into a duplex and to establish a Final PUD Plan, as there was'not
one existing prior to that time. The current request will amend
the Final PUD Plan and will require filing of the new site plan.
The Pattersons wish that the duplex be condominiumized. Council
will hear this request when they consider the PUD Plan amendment.
In 1990, staff processed a PUD Plan proposed for a duplex on Park
Ave. At that time, the City Council expressed that it was
excessive to require duplexes to go through a two-step review for
PUD. They instructed staff to look into removing this requirement
from the Land Use Code in the same manner that single family homes
are exempt from PUD review. The Patterson application has
triggered staff to concurrently process a code amendment exempting
duplexes from PUD requirements. This code amendment is being
presented to P&Z and Council under a separate memo and ordinance.
FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
Section 7-903 describes the development review process for projects
with PUD designation. The General Requirements are:
2
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the
conditional use including but not limited to roads, potable
water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection,
emergency medical services, hospital and medical services,
drainage systems, and schools.
RESPONSE: All public facilities are all ready in place for the
duplex home and neighborhood.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housing to meet the
incremental need for increased employees generated by the
conditional use.
RESPONSE: The proposed deed restricted unit is voluntary and will
satisfy the Ordinance 1 requirements for duplex development. The
applicant must file appropriate deed restrictions for resident
occupancy, including 6 month minimum leases. Proof of recordation
must be forwarded to the Planning Office prior to issuance of any
building permits.
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
RESPONSE: This use complies with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and any other applicable conditional use standards.
Please Note: As this accessory dwelling unit is 100% above grade,
the main structure is eligible for floor area bonus as allowed by
Ordinance 1.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Planning recommends approval of the
Patterson Duplex Final PUD Development Plan and Conditional Use for
an above -grade, 624 s. f . accessory dwelling unit with the following
conditions:
PUD:
1.- Prior to the sale of either unit, a condominium plat must be
filed which meets the requirements of Section 24-7-1004 D of
the municipal code.
2. Prior to signing the final plat, a site drainage plan meeting
the requirements of Section 24-7-1004 C.4.f and be prepared
by a registered engineer must be provided and constructed.
3. Hay bales or other techniques shall be employed during
construction in order to prevent erosion of the hillside, and
a debris fence shall be installed during construction to
prevent damage to existing vegetation outside of the work
area.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Johnson, Planning Office
From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer C7�
Date: April 16, 1992
Re: Patterson Final PUD, Condominiumization & Conditional Use for an Accessory
Dwelling Unit
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the
engineering department has the following comments:
1. Site drainage - Site drainage is required to meet Section 24-7-1004 C.4.f of the
municipal code. No storm runoff is permitted to enter the irrigation system. The site
drainage plan must provide for no more than historic flows to leave the site, particularly
regarding possible drainage onto Cemetery Lane. The plan must also provide that roof
and other drainage not be discharged onto the hillside and cause hillside erosion.
Construction activities should be protected, as with hay bales for example, so that storm
runoff during construction is not conveyed to Castle Creek and so that the hillside and its
native vegetation are not subjected to erosion.
2. Parkin - The final plat must clearly indicate the size and location of parking spaces.
3. Existing vegetation_ - It is suggested that construction procedures be restricted to
minimizing disturbance to hillside vegetation. Construction activities could be restricted
to the building footprint. It is suggested that fencing be provided during construction so
that no debris or excavation spills damage existing vegetation.
4. Pedestrian Bikeway Plan - The system map on page 1-20A indicates Cemetery Lane
as a Primary (commuter) route. Currently there are no sidewalks on Cemetery Lane, but
pedestrian areas are definitely needed. Therefore it is our recommendation that the
property owner be required to construct a sidewalk area in all regards except the
installation of the concrete, which could be done if the property owner so desired. The
sidewalk area design would need to be approved by the engineering department. It should
not be directly adjacent to the pavement lest it become utilized for parking. The removal
of some small caliper trees may be needed and others pruned up to 7' above the walking
area to permit pedestrian use of the space. The design would need to be approved by
engineering department. The pedestrian improvement would need to be in place prior
.o signing of the final plat, or prior to the final inspection for the new construction, or
TDe location of this dwelling close to city facilities and on the
bus route, provides the potential for the residents to get to
downtown without using a car.

As.I recall, this building competed in the growth. management

about $40,000 was returned and the trash area reduced. They also

They may need to amend their landscape plan. Tables or benches
outside for commercial use would be prohibited in this open space

Re: 121 S. Galena - outside seating
Date: April 6, 1992
The outside seating request for 121 S. Galena requires a Minor
Development review approval by the HPC. An application must be
completed which shall include the review fee of $100. The item
will be scheduled at the first HPC meeting possible following
receipt of a complete application.
Generally, the HPC looks upon pedestrian/street activity as
positive, provided the street furniture is compatible in character
to the Commercial Core Historic District, and generally meets the
guidelines. Plastic has not been approved in the past. Material
quality is a large consideration. I see no problem with this
application in general design terms, provided the applicable

RE: Zele Special Review for Use of Open Space
DATE: May 5, 1992
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Applicant seeks to place public outdoor seating in
the required open space area in the front of the "Godiva" building.
Staff recommends approval of the use with, conditions.
APPLICANT: Ryanco Partners, LTD. XVI, represented by Roland Parker
LOCATION: 121 South Galena, Aspen
ZONING: CC - Commercial Core
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: According to the sketch submitted in the
application, three four -person umbrella tables will be located in
the triangular area in front of the lease space formerly occupied
by Godiva Chocolate. Please see Exhibit "A". It was explained to
staff that the anticipated tenant of the interior space will be a
gourmet coffee shop selling whole -bean and brewed coffees, as well
as scones baked off -premise.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Complete comments are attached as Exhibit "B`".
Zoning: Bill Drueding stated that the outdoor area currently under
consideration was approved for bench seating as part of a Growth
Management project when the entire building was proposed. •The
benches were not installed. It is pointed out that the original
plan called for a restaurant in the space being occupied by Zele.
However, the GMP application was amended to exclude restaurant
square footage and reduce trash service area. This resulted in a
refund of around $40,000 in mitigation fees for employee housing.
It must be noted that the space to be occupied by Zele cannot be
used as a restaurant (as per the definition of "Restaurant" in the
Land Use Code) unless employee mitigation and trash service area
is re -studied. Please see Exhibit "C" for definition of
"restaurant". In additional conversation with Mr. Drueding, he
mentioned that any outdoor signage (on the building or table
umbrellas) must comply with the City's sign regulations.
Historic Preservation Committee - Roxanne Eflin forwards the
following comments: Because the proposal is in the Commercial Core
Historic District, the HPC must review the proposal as a Minor
Development. Generally, the HPC looks positively upon
pedestrian/street activity, provided the furniture is compatible
with the character of the Commercial Core Historic District. I see
no problem with the application in general design terms.
STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 3-101, required open space may
be used for commercial restaurant use if the commission determines
that such use is compatible with or enhances the purposes of these
open space requirements and that adequate pedestrian and emergency
vehicle access will be maintained. This proposal is not being made
in conjunction with a "restaurant", which is defined by the Land
Use Code as having indoor food preparation and service. However,
staff determined that the same review criteria should be utilized.
The applicant proposes to place up to three four -person umbrella
tables in the plaza area in front of the mixed commercial building.
General public seating will be allowed. Staff believes that the
proposed tables and chairs can be placed in the proposed area
without interfering with pedestrian circulation on the sidewalk or
to/from the doorways into the building.
Currently the front of the building is under-utilized. The
original Growth Management proposal (which had included restaurant
space) had this area designed as a plaza with seating. So in
effect, the current request recalls the original intended use of
the space.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of up to three four -
person tables and chairs in the plaza of the'"Godiva Building with
the following conditions:
1. The applicant must receive Minor Development approval from the
HPC prior to placement of the tables and chairs.
2. The seating shall be available for general public use.
Specific placement shall be only within the subject property lines
and shall not interfere with sidewalk traffic or access into the
two doorways into the building.
3. The lease space occupied by Zele cannot be a "restaurant" as
defined by the Land Use Code unless the requirements for employee
mitigation and trash service area reviewed and met.
4. Outdoor signage on the building or on the table umbrellas must
comply with the City's sign regulations.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve Special Review to allow
three four -person tables and chairs in the approved open space at
121 S. Galena, with the four conditions recommended in the May 5,
1992 Planning Office memo.

FROM: Kim Johnson, Planning Office
RE: Johnston Hallam Lake Bluff ESA Review and Conditional Use
for an Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit
DATE: May 5, 1992
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: The Planning Office recommends approval of this request
with conditions. Mr. Johnston seeks to construct a new three
bedroom home with a 498 s . f . basement level accessory dwelling unit
on a vacant lot created by a Lot Split in 1990.
Applicant: Jeff Johnston, represented by Michael Doyle
Location: Roaring Fork Road (Lot 2, Merriam Lot Split)
Zoning: R-15, with Hallam Lake Bluff Environmentally Sensitive
Area (ESA) overlay. The parcel is 15,141 s.f. Please see Exhibit
"A" for vicinity map and Exhibit "B" for site plan and site
section.
Referral Comments:
Parks Department: Rebecca Baker expressed concern that proposed
trees along the north and east sides of the house block access to
the ADU and will outgrow those spaces. She recommends using
different slower growing species. She sees a discrepancy between
sheets Ll and A2.1 regarding which trees will be removed. More
trees appear to be impacted by construction than indicated on the
plans. All trees 6" caliper and over must be shown on the
landscape plan. A tree removal permit is required prior to
issuance of any building permits. See Exhibit "C" for complete
memo.
A.C.E.S. - In a phone conversation with staff, Tom Cardamone
expressed that this proposal is acceptable and does not negatively
impact the nature preserve below the bluff.
Staff Comments:
Hallam Lake Bluff E.S.A. Review: The Hallam Lake Bluff ESA was
adopted in November of 1990. The intent of this overlay area is
to provide a minimal level of protection from development impacts
on the A.C.E.S. nature preserve below this hillside. Various human
impacts to the nature preserve that concern A.C.E.S. include
visual, noise, and light intrusion as well as damage to the slope
and vegetation which may increase runoff and erosion.
The review standards contained in the ordinance are as follows:
1. No development, excavation or fill, other than native
vegetation planting, shall take place below the top of slope.
Response: None of these activities will take place below the top
of slope. An existing deck is located about 10' below the top of
slope. This cannot be altered without ESA review.
2. All development within the 15' setback from the top of slope
shall be at grade. Any proposed development not at grade
within the 15' setback must be approved by special review
pursuant to Section 7-404D of this Article 7.
Response: The rear yard section shows that the only intrusion into
the 15' setback is an at -grade terrace.
3. All development outside the 15' setback from the top of slope
shall not exceed a height delineated by a line drawn at a 45
degree angle from ground level at the top of slope. Height
shall be measured and determined by the Zoning Officer
utilizing that definition set forth at Section 3-101 of this
Chapter 24.
Response: The proposed development complies with this height
limit.
4. A landscape plan shall be submitted with all development
applications. Such plan shall include native vegetative
screening of no less than 50 percent of the development as
viewed from the rear (slope) of the parcel. All vegetative
screening shall be maintained in perpetuity and shall be
replaced with the same or comparable material should it die.
Response: The landscaping plan indicates an abundance of existing
mature cottonwoods on and below the slope. Additional planti-rigs
are proposed for the rear yard area. The existing and proposed
vegetation meets this criteria. However, as pointed out in the
comments from the Parks Department, changes or clarifications must
be made on the landscape plan regarding placement of some trees.
Any removals must done in accordance with the City's tree removal
permit requirements.
5. All exterior lighting shall be low and downcast with no
light(s) directed toward the nature preserve or located down
the slope.
Response: The application states that all exterior lighting will
be designed in accordance with this requirement.
6. No fill material or debris shall be placed on the face of the
slope. Historic drainage patterns and rates must be
maintained. Pools or hot tubs cannot be drained down the
slope.
E
Response: The application states that this requirement will be met.
No hot tub is indicated on the plans.
7. Site sections drawn by a registered architect, landscape
architect, or engineer shall be submitted showing all existing
and proposed site elements, the top of slope, and pertinent
elevations above sea level.
Response: The application package includes sketches showing the
slope, proposed structure and terrace.
Conditional Use for Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit: The subject
lot is currently vacant and resulted from a Lot Split in 1990. For
any development on a Lot Split parcel, an accessory dwelling unit
must be provided. Please see Exhibit "D" for the f loorplan of the
basement ADU. The Commission has the authority to review and
approve development applications for conditional uses pursuant to
the standards of Section 7-304:
A. The conditional use is consistent with the purposes, goals,
objectives and standards of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan,
and with the intent of the Zone District in which it is
proposed to be located.
Response: This proposed unit will allow the property to house a
local employees in a residential area, which complies with the
zoning and Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and with the Lot Split
requirements.
B. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture
of complimentary uses and activities in the immediate vicinity
of the parcel proposed for development.
Response: The accessory dwelling use is compatible with the other
residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood. The unit will
not be visible as a separate unit from the outside.
C. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of
the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects,
including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular
circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise,
vibrations and odor on surrounding properties.
Response: The proposed accessory unit will be completely contained
within the proposed three bedroom.home. Four parking spaces are
indicated on the plan. A parking space is not required by code for
a one bedroom accessory unit, but staff believes that one should
be dedicated for the unit assuming it will be occupied by a long-
term tenant. The unit will access the exterior through a garden
3
level patio on the west side of the house. As mentioned earlier,
the proposed plantings will impact the ability to access the unit
along the east side and north corner of the residence.
Since submission of the application, the applicant and architect
met with staff to discuss providing a covered walkway along the
east side of the structure to provide protection from rain and snow
shedding. This will require an insubstantial plat amendment to add
a plat note allowing this. The neighboring property owners, the
Merriams, do not object to this proposal. Staff recommends that
an overhang extending over the walkway be required due to the roof
configuration. Consistent with recent P&Z requirements, staff has
included a condition of approval requiring compliance with U.B.C.
sound attenuation codes. No other impacts are anticipated.
D. There are adequate public facilities and services to serve the
conditional use including but not limited to roads, potable
water, sewer, solid waste, parks, police, fire protection,
emergency medical services, hospital and medical services,
drainage systems, and schools.
Response: All public facilities are all ready in place for the
existing neighborhood.
E. The applicant commits to supply affordable housina to meet the
incremental need for increased employees generated by the
conditional use.
Response: The proposed deed restricted unit will be able to house
a local employee or two. The applicant must file appropriate deed
restrictions for resident occupancy, including 6 month minimum
leases. Proof of recordation must be forwarded to the Planning
Office prior to issuance of any building permits.
F. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional
standards imposed on it by the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and by all other applicable requirements of this chapter.
Response: This use complies with the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan
and the Lot Split requirements.
�P� r r
----- -- `L -? :�1�1i -L--------------
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the Johnston Hallam
Lake Bluff 'ESA Review sand Conditional Use for, an Accessory Dwelling
Unit with the following conditions:
1. Prior to issuance of any building permit, the applicant must
receive approval from the Parks department regarding any vegetation
removal from the site.
2. Prior to issuance of any building permit, a revised landscaping
4
plan must be submitted to Planning which provides adequate access
from the ADU to the driveway.
3. The owner shall submit appropriate deed restrictions to the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority for approval. The units
shall be deed restricted to resident occupancy with minimum 6 month
leases. Upon approval by the Housing Authority, the Owner shall
record the deed restrictions with the Pitkin County Clerk and
Recorder's Office.
4. Prior to issuance of any building permits for the property, a
copy of the recorded deed restrictions for the accessory dwelling
units must be forwarded to the Planning Office.
5. One parking space shall be dedicated on -site for the accessory
dwelling unit.
6. Prior to issuance of a building permit f-ar-- the- ADU, a covered
walkway must be included to protect the ADU access from rain and
snow shedding.
7. The building permit plans must clearly indicate the accessory
dwelling as a separate dwelling. Compliance with U.B.C. sound
attenuation codes is required.
8. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval, unless otherwise amended by other conditions.

DATE: April 20, 1992
RE: Johnston Conditional Use Review for an
and a Hallam Lake Bluff ESA
APR 2 1
accessory dwelling unit
Upon review of the landscape plan submitted by Michael Doyle, Hagman
Yaw Architects, for the Johnston Residence, Lot 2, Merriam Subdivision,
Hallam Lake Bluff ESA, the Parks Department has the following
comments/concerns:
1) The proposed landscape plan does not appear to allow clear access
to the accessory dwelling unit. The proposed planting of
evergreens on both the northeast and west sides of the building
would block passage to the rear of the building, especially over
time as the trees grow.
2) The two proposed evergreens on the northeast corner of the
building are shown to be in the area of the concrete driveway. If in
reality the trees are to be planted in the 15' space between the
building and fence, we would recommend planting smaller, slow
growing species that would * not outgrow the area too quickly and
damage the building or foundation.
3) The landscape plan (1-1) shows no proposed tree removals. Drawing
A2.1 shows one proposed tree removal for the concrete drive.
However, comparing drawing A2.1 with the landscape plan (1-1) it
appears there may be more tree removals in the area of the
proposed terrace. The landscape plan shows approximately three
evergreens which may be impacted by the construction of a terrace.
Additionally, all existing trees on the property, particularly trees
over 6" in diameter at approximately 4' high, should be noted on the
landscape plan. A tree removal permit will be necessary at the
time of construction.
4) Any proposed irrigation system should be in compliance with the
Water Conservation Ordinance.
