I . Chris Bendon, Community Development DirectoI\.JJ\W) Growth Management Year 2005 Review - Public Hearing Reso. No.ll-, Series 2006 February 28, 2006 lk~~ ~ 1,.1.oh DATE: SUMMARY: The City revised the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) in May of 2005. This new system allocates growth "allotments" by land use type on a yearly basis. The GMQS year runs from March l't through February 28th. The 2005 GMQS year just ended. The revised GMQS require the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the previous year's allotments and make a determination as to the number of unused allotments to be "carried forward" to be used in the following year - how many of the unused allotments from 2005 should be available in 2006? (See Exhibit C for actual code text.) The revised GMQS also requires P&Z to evaluate the "Development Ceilings" and lower the yearly allotment be any amount necessary to stay within each Ceiling. This will not be an issue for several years as the Ceilings are currently much greater than the yearly allotments. There are criteria for this review and staff has provided analysis of there criteria in Exhibit A. Attached as Exhibit B is a summary of the 2005 GMQS Allotments. Some of the 2005 projects have not been approved yet. (This should be expected every year as the review process takes time.) These pending projects have applied for 2005 allotments and, if approved, will be considered 2005 allocations even if approved after the 2005 GMQS year has passed. In other words, the allocation year is based on the application date not the approval date. Staff does not recommend carrying forward any of the unused allotment to the 2006 GMQS year. There is a significant amount of development activity occurring and there does not appear to a community of interest or public purpose for increasing the allotments for 2006. Staff is recommending this memo and Resolution be reviewed at the February 28th meeting and any questions. further analysis requests, etc. be brought forward by the Commission. Staff recommends action on the Resolution be continued to the March 7th meeting. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to continue the public hearing on the Growth Management Annual Review to March 7, 2006."

WHEREAS, the City of Aspen Land Use Code Chapter 26.470 - Growth Management Quota System - requires an annual review of the Growth Management Allotments requested and granted in the prior year by the Planning and Zoning Commission; and, WHEREAS, as part of this required review, pursuant to Section 26.470.030.E, the Commission shall establish the number of un allocated (a.k.a. "unused") allotments of the current growth management year to be carried forward to be used in the upcoming growth management year based on criteria of said section; and, WHEREAS, the Commission shall make such a determination at a duly notice public hearing and after considering a recommendation from the Community Development Director and comments offered by the general public; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 26.304 of the Aspen Land Use Code and during a regular meeting on February 28, 2006 and continued to March 7, 2006, the City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission opened a duly noticed public hearing to consider the remaining unused allotments from the 2005 growth management year and the status of the Development Ceilings, considered a recommendation from the Community Development Director and comments offered by the general public and established. through adoption of this resolution, the number of unused 2005 allotments to be carried forward to be used in the 2006 growth management year. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ASPEN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION as follows: Section 1: Growth Manal!:ement Allotments to be Carried Forward The Planning and Zoning Commission, pursuant to Section 26.470.030.E - Growth Management - hereby establishes that none of the unused 2005 growth management allotments shall be carried forward for use in the 2006 growth management year.

The goals and objectives of the Aspen Area Community Plan. Staff Finding: One primary goal of the AACP is to limit growth to 2% or less per year. This is the purpose of the City's growth management system. The City limits new Free- market residential growth to 1 % per year - 37 units. There are goals and objectives of the community plan which speak to a desire to increase the amount of commercial space, rehabilitate old (but not historic) buildings, and increase affordable housing. The P&Z must weigh these goals against the amount of construction that is occurring that is not growth related. Staff does not believe there is adequate support in the AACP to recommend rolling-over the unused 2005 allotments to 2006. 2. The community's growth rate over the preceding tive-year period. Staff Finding: The growth in new residential units has not exceeded the 2% growth rate. The population growth rate has also not exceeded the 2 % target, except for the 2000 to 2001 year in which the State recorded a significant jump in Aspen's population. (See attached population estimates.) Staff does not have an explanation for this jump but the population has been relatively stable since then. These are estimates provided by the State Demographer. The building activity has significantly increased over the past few years. The Building Department processes approximately twice the permit valuation in 2005 as in 2004. Staff believes the increase is primarily due to remodeling and "scrape and replace" projects as opposed to truly new growth. Permit Valuation, by year 300000000 250000000 ------' :U2002 i :.2003 '[.112004 fJ~ 100000000 150000000 100000000 50000000 PermllVoluollo" 3. The ability of the community to absorb the growth that couId result from a proposed development utilizing accumulated allotments, including issues of scale, infrastructure capacity and community character. Staff Finding: There are projects that have been entitled but that have not begun construction - Limelite. ChartHouse, and Dancing Bear are three lodging project using allotments granted in the past that will start construction (expected) over the next year. While these projects do not represent infrastructure capacity issues, these project will represent impacts on the community and a feeling that the community is growing and ""' - -"', - changing. Staff does not believe this criterion supports a carrying-forward of the unused 2005 allotments to 2006. 4. The expected impact from approved developments that have obtained allotments, but that have not yet been built. Staff Finding: See above. The entitled but not yet built projects will represent impacts on the community when they finally do go under construction. In addition, most development currently occurring is a result of change not growth. Redevelopment of existing buildings is having a significant impact on the community. Staff believes that the unused allotments should not be carried forward.

(See definition of Essential Public Facility.) 26.470.030 Aspen Metro Area Development Ceilings and Annual Allotments ~ A. General. As the primary implementation tool for the Aspen Area Community Plan ,..,. (AACP), the Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) is designed to promote many objectives. Despite its complexity, two overriding goals form its core: (1) to prohibit development in excess of the AACP objective of a thirty thousand (30,000) peak population (permanent and visitor); and (2) to ensure that the rate at which growth occurs does not exceed the community's ability to cope with associated public facility and service demands and accompanying changes to community character. Aspen area residents have determined that the maximum average growth rate that can be accommodated without long-term negative consequences is two (2) percent per year, with the exception of permanently affordable housing and lodging facilities. The AACP supports a "critical mass" of permanent residents to be housed and a growth rate of more than two (2) percent for affordable housing to ensure a balance of resort and community. The Economic Sustainability Committee, a joint effort undertaken in 2002 between the City of Aspen, the Aspen Institute Community Forum, and the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, supported, as their number one recommendation, the redevelopment of existing lodging facilities and the development of new lodging facilities to counteract the deteriorating and greatly decreased lodging base. Therefore, the GMQS does not limit the annual growth rate of affordable housing and lodging facilities, while all other types of development shall be limited to not exceed a two (2) percent annuaI growth rate. In order to address continued community growth concerns, a growth limit of I % has been implemented for free-market residential development. For a variety of reasons, it is possible that the community's actual population growth might exceed the designated growth rate percentages in some years. Previous GMQS approvals and in/out-migration, for example, can result in periods of construction activity and population growth that exceed the planned average annual growth rate.

These units are rental affordable housing owned by the City, APCHA, or tax-exempt non-profit organizations. Therefore, only the non-exempt units have been subtracted from the Assessor's total residences to determine the number of free-market residences. City of Aspen Land Use Code. June, 2005. Part 400. Pap" 11 0 , .... ,......" '-../ C. Development Ceiling Levels. Based on the 2000 Aspen Area Community Plan goal oflimiting the ultimate population in order to preserve a quality of life for both residents and visitors, growth ceilings are hereby established for each type ofland use. As part of the 2000 AACP, average monthly population was estimated based on daily influent flows of the Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District. This data was used to estimate the actual number of people in town including residents, tourists, and the workforce. A total population of 23,050 was estimated for the busiest month in 1998 - July. Based on this month as the peak monthly population baseline, a total development ceiling to accommodate a total population of 30,000 represents a thirty (30) percent increase in development. Applied to each development sector, development ceilings are established as follows: Development Type Current Development Development Ceiling Free Market Residential 3,774 4,906 Affordable Housing I,608 2,4286 Commercial (sq. ft.) 1,408,804 1,830,000 Lodging 8,583 pillows 11,160 pillows7 The Community Development Director shall calculate the number of allotments remaining under established development ceilings as part of the year-end growth summary. Under no circumstances shall development be allowed in excess of the development ceilings unless City Council, pursuant to Section 26.470.090 Appeals, permits development in excess of the ceilings. )/ D. Annual Development Allotments. The growth management quota system establishes annual development allotments available for use by projects during each growth management year - March 1st to February 28th (or 29th as applicable). The number of development allotments available within a single growth management year varies based on the following factors: (I) The type ofland use. (2) The annual allotment available for each land use. (3) The number of allotments granted the previous year and whether or not the Planning and Zoning Commission permits an accumulation from year to year. (4) The number of multi-year allotments granted by City Council from future years. 6 The development ceiling for affordable housing is based on the 2000 AACP goal of providing an additional 800 to 1,300 affordable housing units. Five hundred and eighty-eight (588) affordable housing units have been completed and another ninety-nine (99) have been approved since adoption of the plan (as of January 2005). Although most of these units were either approved, under construction, or occupied at the time of the plan adoption, they were recognized in the plan as part of the overall housing need and represent progress towards the goal. Considering the completed units, the affordable housing development ceiling has been established at 2,428 units, an increase of613 units. 7 The development ceiling for lodging is based on the "pillow count" of Stay Aspen Snowmass. This number peaked in 1995, with 9,959 pillows in the Aspen inventory. The 1998 pillow count of8,583 was used to establish the baseline. The pillow count, because it is more accurate than unit counts at the time of this ordinance, shall be used to determine progress towards the development ceiling.
