The amendment will affect the Characteristics of off-street parking spaces and access to street or alley. A text amendment is a two step review process requiring a public hearing at the Commission and Ordinance adoption procedures at City council. staff recommends approval of the text amendment. APPLICANT: Ted Guy Associates PC APPLICANT'S REQUEST: Amend sectio~24-5-302 A. & C. of the Aspen Municipal Code. REFERRAL COMMENTS: Please see attached comments from Engineering. STAFF COMMENTS: A. Proposal: Currently the Land Use Code allows stacking of parking only for single-family and duplex dwelling units. staff has received several requests from developers proposing multi- family projects to allow stacking of. parking when individual garages and parking strip or apron are provided for each unit. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to enable the stacking of required parking spaces for multi-family units when individual garages and parking strips or aprons are provided for each units. The Engineering Department requested additional clarification to this section - dimensions for head-in parking verses parallel parking. B. Amendment: the proposed amendments are as follows (bold indicates new language): 1. Section 24-5-302. Characteristics of off-street parking spaces and access to street or alley. A. General. Each off-street parking space shall consist of an open area measuring eight and one-half (8 1/2) feet wide by 1""". t"""'\ eighteen (18) feet long for head-in parking or twenty-two (22) feet long for parallel parking and seven (7) feet high with a maximum slope of twelve (12) percent in any direction. Each parking space, except those provided for detached residential dwellings, duplex dwellings and individual private driveways and garages for multi- family townhouse dwellings, shall have unobstructed access to a street or alley. No driveway shall exceed a maximum slope of twelve (12) percent within twenty (20) feet of a property line bordering a public or private right-of-way. Off-street parking must be paved with all weather surfacing or be covered with gravel and maintained in a useable condition at all times. C. Detached and duplex residential dwelling parking. Off-street parking provided for detached residential dwellings, duplex dwellings, and individual private driveways and garages for mUlti-family townhouse dwellings are not required to have unobstructed access to a street or alley, but may consist of garage area, or parking strip or apron. C. Applicable Review Criteria: Pursuant to section 24-7-1102 the standards of review for a Text Amendment are as follows: a. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of this chapter. RESPONSE: The code amendment does not reduce the number of parking spaces that are required for a mUlti-family development. The amendment provide more flexibility for the provision of off-street parking in a manner that does not encourage the paving of yards and open space. b. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan. RESPONSE: The amendment is not inconsistent with the recently adopted Aspen Area community Plan. c. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with surrounding Zone Districts and land uses, considering existing land use and neighborhood characteristics. RESPONSE: The proposed revisions to the Characteristics of off- street parking still remain consistent with parking requirements of the mUlti-family zone districts. d. The effect of the proposed amendment on traffic generation and road safety. RESPONSE: or impact amendment The amendment will not generate additional road traffic road safety. It is important to note that this text only pertains to parking that is provided on an 2 F'"' .",....., individual basis, in other words only those mUlti-family dwelling units that have been provided individual garages and parking strips or aprons may stack their parking. Therefore shuffling cars between different property owners should not be a concern. 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: This text amendment should not have any impact on pUblic facilities. f. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. RESPONSE: The text amendment is proposed to provide more flexibility when complying with a parking requirement in the multi- family zone districts. More open space will be preserved when cars can be stacked in a parking configuration. g. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent and compatible with the community character in the city of Aspen. RESPONSE: Preservation of open space and yards verses parking spaces is compatible with the goals of the City of Aspen. h. Whether there have been changed conditions affecting the $ubject parcel or the surrounding neighborhood which support the proposed amendment. RESPONSE: The text amendment will affect all mUlti-family developments that provide individual garages and parking strips or aprons. This is an amendment that staff has wanted to process for some time. 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 parking requirement for mUlti-family will not be reduced. Therefore the amendment is not in conflict with the code or the public interest. --------------------*----------------- RECOMMENDATION: staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments as contained herein. 3 r" RECOMMENDED MOTION: Section 24-5-302 A. & May 4, 1993." ."""'. "I move to approve the text amendment to C. as proposed in Planning Office memo dated 4 r-.. ^ MEMORANDUM To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer Q.J1C. Date: April 20, 1993 Re: Text Amendment - Characteristics of Off-Street Parking Spaces (O'Block Townhouses) Having reviewed the above referenced application, the Engineering Department has the following comments: The existing Code requirements relating to "stacked" parking spaces appear to be more appropriate for the lower density situation of detached residential dwellings and . duplex dwellings than for the higher density situation of multi-family townhouse dwellings. Stacked parking at residential and duplex dwellings is less of a design quality loss than it would be for multi-family townhouse dwellings. Also, site designs and development densities of residential and duplex dwellings are generally such that if the occupants desire unobstructed parking access, it can easily be accomplished. Site designs of denser dwellings generally would not have the space for coming back later and providing unobstructed parking spaces. The Engineering Department recommends against the proposed text amendment. If a text amendment is enacted, I recommend including a clarification of head-in versus parallel space dimensions.
