ADJOURN - MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Leslie Lamont, Planner RE: Common Ground Housing Map Amendment - Public to AH DATE: October 22, 1991 SUMMARY: The Common Ground Housing Association, Inc., proposes to rezone the Community Center parcel from Public (P) to Affordable Housing (AH). Subsequent to rezoning, the applicant will submit a development plan containing all the pertinent reviews for the development of this parcel. Although the parcel is owned by the County, it will be reviewed by City review standards because it is in the City. The County has consented to Common Ground to submit an application for rezoning on County property. Attached for your review is the full application submitted by the applicant. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from Public to AH. APPLICANT: Common Ground Housing Association, Inc. LOCATION: Community Center Parcel, 0100 Lone Pine Road, Aspen, Colorado 81611 ZONING: P. Public APPLICANT'S REQUEST: To amend the Official Zone District map. REFERRAL COMMENTS: The Engineering Department was the only referral agency contacted for the rezoning. The next application for subdivision and other pertinent reviews will be fully referred to other departments and agencies. Engineering: Having reviewed the above referenced application and having made a site visit, the department has the following comments: 1. The Engineering Department takes no exceptions to the rezoning application. Other staff comments regarding site developments are as follows: 2. If the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan requires the applicant to install sidewalks, they must conform to the City of Aspen sidewalk, curb and gutter specifications. 3. Given the continuous problems of unapproved work and development in public rights -of -way, we would like the following condition of approval: The applicant shall consult City Engineering for design considerations of development within public rights -of -way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights -of -way from City Streets Department. 4. 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. 5. There doesn't seem to be a basis for determining the number of parking spaces. It appears that the applicant just took the remaining spaces not affected by development and divided them by the number of units. In addition, some of the parking is "shared parking" with the adjoining Hunter Longhouse Development. The Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. 6. The site needs a designated trash area sized for the needs of the development. 7. Additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. 8. Site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. STAFF COMMENTS: A. Background - As part of the comprehensive approach to the City's housing dilemma, the City Council adopted Ordinance 59 establishing an Affordable Housing Zone District (AH). The AH zone enables the rezoning of land for the purposes of affordable housing. The Common Ground Housing Group (CGHG) seeks to rezone the Community Center parcel for affordable housing. CGHG proposes tc develop a cooperative affordable housing community. The "design objective of the CGHG is to plan a housing development which acknowledges that resident and neighborhood interaction, interdependence and self -management is the essence of community." The group believes that the Community Center site is very suitable for their needs because a significant portion of the existing center will be preserved as a common house for community dinners and meetings and other interaction among residents. The site is also serviced by RFTA, is located within a multi -family neighborhood, and is within close proximity to commerical/retail services, the Art Museum, Rio Grande playing field and bike paths. 2 sites, within the City, that are zoned Public: Rio Grande SPA, Art Museum, Sanitation District, City Hall, Fire Station, Court House/Jail, and the Community Center. During the rezoning review of the old Library, staff recommended denial because we were losing a Public zone. That rezoning, as you may recall, was from Public to Office and staff argued that there is adequate Office zoning within the City. There are however, only 2 parcels zoned AH. The AH Zone District is one avenue available for the public and private sectors to address the community's housing problems. This rezoning is proposed as an attempt to develop new affordable housing integrated into the community. 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 established public policy. As early as the 1973 Land Use Plan the development of employee housing was a goal of the community. As was discussed above, many plans and policies have been developed to facilitate affordable local housing for the community. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of the Community Center Parcel, 0100 Lone Pine Road, Aspen Colorado amending the Official Zone District map from Public to AH with the following conditions: 1. For subdivision review the proposal must comply with the Bikeway and Pedestrian Plan and the City of Aspen sidewalk, curb and gutter specifications. 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. 3. The Subdivision application shall address the following: a) considerations of development within public rights -of - way and shall obtain permits for any work or development within public rights -of -way from City Streets Department. b) the Hunter Longhouse parking requirements should be identified and the amount of shared parking determined. c) the site plan shall designate a trash area sized for the needs of the development. d) additional landscaping could be required in the sidewalk area or public right-of-way adjoining the building site. 9 e) site drainage calculations from an engineer registered in the State of Colorado must be provided showing that all but historical drainage will be maintained on site. 4. Specific public utility requirements shall be identified in the subdivision application. 5. A trips/day traffic analysis shall be conducted comparing existing traffic patterns with proposed and shall be included in the subdivision application. ATTACHMENTS: A.

Pursuant to Section 7-504, Stream Margin Review is required. The Planning Department recommends approval with conditions. APPLICANT: City of Aspen, as represented by Gary Lacey and Patrick Duff ield . LOCATION: The kayak course and new trail bed will be constructed in the portion of the Roaring Fork River between the Art Museum and the Rio Grande parcel. ZONING: Public, SPA Overlay APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Stream Margin Approval for a kayak course and new pedestrian trail bed. REFERRAL COMMENTS: The Engineering Department has reviewed the application and has the following comments: 1. A HEC II analysis is necessary to determine that there is no rise in Base Flood Elevation. 2. Copies of all necessary federal and state permits relating to work within the one hundred (100) year floodplain must be submitted. 3. The Colorado Water Conservation Board must be notified with notice sent to FEMA regarding the alteration of the river channel. 4. If slope and grade changes are made, erosion mitigation plans must be provided to ensure that erosion and sedimentation of the stream bank does not occur. STAFF COMMENTS: The Planning and Parks Departments, in response to City Council's direction to begin enhancement measures on the portion of river next to the Rio Grande parcel, have developed a proposal for a kayak course, re -shaping of the existing island, and regrading and removing fill from the south bank for an eventual riverwalk. Construction of the kayak course will require in -channel modifications, large boulder placement, and south bank regrading. In addition to the development of a kayak course, the purpose of the project is to improve in -stream fish habitat and the riparian zone, increase flood carrying capacity of the river, and remove and regrade fill that has been dumped on the south bank of the river to allow for eventual riverwalk improvements. Those specific improvements and other land uses will be better defined in the Rio Grande Master Plan process. This phase of the Rio Grande enhancement is anticipated to be completed in 1991. At the October 15, 1991 Council meeting staff presented this proposal. Council not only overwhelmingly consented to the submission of an application for City Property, Council also committed Land Fund money for the implementation of the project. A. Stream Margin: Pursuant to Section 7-504 C., development is required to undergo Stream Margin Review if it is within 100 feet from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River and its tributary streams, or within the one hundred year floodplain. The applicable review standards are as follows: 1. It can be demonstrated that any proposed development which is in the Special Flood Hazard Area will not increase the base flood elevation on the parcel proposed for development. This shall be demonstrated by an engineering study prepared by a professional engineer registered to practice in the State of Colorado which shows that the base flood elevation will not be raised, including, but not limited to, proposing mitigation techniques on or off -site which compensate for any base flood elevation increase caused by the development. RESPONSE: According to the application, this project will not increase the base flood elevation. A HEC II analysis will be conducted to confirm that the base flood elevation will not be raised. 2. Any trail on the parcel designated on the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan: Parks/Recreation/Open Space/Trails Plan map is dedicated for public use. RESPONSE: All proposed trails and existing trails are dedicated for public use which is consistent with the Plan. 3. The recommendations of the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan are implemented in the proposed plan for development, to the greatest extent practicable. RESPONSE: This project will follow the recommendations of the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan. The development of the kayak course and excavation of the south bank is consistent with the criteria to provide access to the river for fishermen and other interested 2 groups. 4. No vegetation is removed or slope grade changes made that produce erosion and sedimentation of the stream bank. RESPONSE: According to the application, no vegetation removal or slope grade changes are being made that will produce erosion or sedimentation problems. The existing step south bank slope will be laid back and vegetation planted to relieve the current erosion problems. The island will also be re -shaped and more vegetation planted to enhance fish and riparian habitat. A tree removal permit shall be reviewed for the removal of any tree greater than 6" in caliper. The applicant shall work with the Engineering Department to identify erosion mitigation measures during construction. 5. To the greatest extent practicable, the proposed development reduces pollution and interference with the natural changes of the river, stream or other tributary. RESPONSE: The application states that the "proposed development will allow runoff to be intercepted prior to entering the Roaring Fork River." 6. Written notice is given to the Colorado Water Conservation Board prior to any alteration or relocation of a water course, and a copy of said notice is submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. RESPONSE: The existing channels will be modified and the actual water course will be changed. Therefore, the Board will be notified of these changes and notice will be submitted to FEMA prior to any construction. 7. A guarantee is provided in the event a water course is altered or relocated, that applies to the developer and his heirs, successors and assigns that ensures that the flood carrying capacity on the parcel is not diminished. RESPONSE: Not applicable. 8. Copies are provided of all necessary federal and state permits relating to work within the one hundred (100) year floodplain. RESPONSE: A Section 404 Permit may be required for a minor portion of this work. Prior to any excavation and construction this permit shall be secured if necessary. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the stream margin review to reconstruct the channel for a whitewater course, re- shaping the island, planting of new vegetation, and regrading the south bank with the following conditions: 3 1. Prior to construction: a. the applicant shall provide a set of drawings stamped by the engineer who performed the hydraulic analysis and shall be reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department; b. an erosion mitigation plan shall be approved by the Engineering Department and the plan shall include, but not limited to, revegetation of disturbed areas; C. tree removal permits are required from the Parks Department before any trees greater than 611 in caliper may be removed. Every effort should be made to relocate on site the trees that must be disturbed; d. necessary 404 Permits shall be obtained and provided to the Engineering Department; and e. the Colorado Water Conservation Board shall be notified of changes to the river channel. 2. All representations that have been made in the application and, 41 during the presentation shall be adhered to.
