RE: Text Amendments - Sections 24-5-302 A. & C. of the Aspen
Municipal Code
DATE: May 4, 1992
SUMMARY: The applicant seeks to amend Sections 24-5-302 of the
Aspen Municipal Code. 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 Section)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
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. Dettu•hed n,rd duplex,-ecide,ltinl dti,,elli,ig 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: The amendment will not generate additional road traffic
or impact road safety. It is important to note that this text
amendment only pertains to parking that is provided on an
2
• 0
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
subject 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.

MEMORANDUM
To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office
From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer Cl�f_
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.

RE: Text Amendment, Section 5-302. Characteristics of off-street parking spaces
Dear Leslie:
Attached are seven (7) copies of our application for a text Amendment to the requirements for off-
street parking spaces. With this application we are requesting additional language to allow
multifamily townhouse units with private garages and driveways to meet the same requirements as
detached residential dwellings and duplex dwellings.
We propose to insert the highlighted language into the Land Use Regulations
to
A. General. Each off-street parking space shall consist of an open area
measuring eight and one-half (8 1/2) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet long and seven (7)
feet high with a miximum slope of twelve (12) percent in any one direction. Each
parking space, except those provided for detached residential dwellings and duplex
dwellings and individual private driveways and garages for multifamily townhouse
dwellings, shall have an unobstructed access to a street or alley."
and
it C. Detached and Duplex and Multifamily townhouse residential dwelling
parking. Off-street parking provided for detached residential dwellings and duplex
dwellings and at individual private driveways and garages for multifamily 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.
We are asking for this text amendment to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commision so
that the City Council may consider it when it reviews the subdivision amendment on the Oblock
Subdivision tentatively scheduled for April 26, 1993 .
Please feel free to call at any time to clarify any information in our application.
Sincerely yours:
