First reading occurred on February 10, 1992. COUNCIL GOALS: The condominiumization of the Benedict building is consistent with Council's goal #14 to develop a consistent and fair government so that citizens know what to expect from elected officials. SITE INFORMATION: The 1280 ute Ave. site (Lot 16 Callahan Subdivision) is 2 acres. Zoning includes R-15 Residential where the building is located and RR Rural Residential on the southern portion of the lot annexed into the City of Aspen in 1975. Please see Exhibit "A" for site plan showing improvements and easements on the parcel. Referral Comments: Referral comments from the Engineering Department are attached as Exhibit "B". The applicant must submit a plat in compliance with section 24-7-1004 D.2.a for Engineering's signature. A fisherman's easement in the Roaring Fork River is requested (but not required by code). Also identified were structural encroachments into the utility easement along the western property line. This may effect future building additions. STAFF DISCUSSION: The existing building houses 6-8 professional/office tenants and one 1-bedroom free market apartment. Pursuant to section 7-1007 condominiumization is exempt from subdivision and shall be reviewed by City Council. Because this proposal is not a condominiumization of residential or lodge uni ts there are no review standards. However, because of the existence of the one residential unit, the applicant has offered to deed restrict the unit to "resident occupancy" according to requirements of residential condominiumization. The dwelling unit is currently vacant. If any future owner of the dwelling wishes to lift the deed restriction, compliance with applicable affordable housing payments and first rights to purchase will be required. The apartment must be restricted to 6 month minimum leases because of R-15 zone district requirements. In addition, the Benedict's offer to dedicate a fisherman's easement in response to staff's request for such an easement. The applicant has also requested vested rights for the proposed condominium approval pursuant to section 24-6-207 of the Municipal Code. This provides vested status for a site development plan for a period of three years upon approval by ordinance. Al though condominium plats are not typically vested (filing of the appropriate documents "locks in" the development rights) staff believes that vesting will cause no harm to the City or public. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of condominiumization and vested rights for the Benedict commercial building with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit a plat in compliance with Municipal Code section 24-7-1004.D.2.a. The plat shall be reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department prior to filing with the pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. 2. Prior to Planning's signature of the condominium plat, the applicant shall deed restrict the one residential unit to "resident occupancy". Proof of the filed deed restriction must be forwarded to the Planning Office. 3. The residential unit shall be leased for no less than 6 month periods, with two shorter tenancies allowed per year. 4. A Subdivision Exemption Agreement shall be submitted and filed concurrently with the Condominium Plat. 5. A fisherman's easement is requested for the lot area ri ver and for a 5' distance measured horizontally riverbank. within the along the PROPOSED MOTION: I move to have second reading of Ordinance 13, Series of 1992 for condominiumization and vested rights for the Benedict Building.

Planning Consultants ~-..... J D ![i@[lOWII n I JII 219~} U -,?;;l _ o~ December 31, 1991 HAND DELIVERED Ms. Kim Johnson Aspen/Pitkin Planning Office 130 South Galena street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Benedict Building Subdivision Exemption Application Dear Kim: Please consider this letter an application for subdivision exemption approval to condominiumize the Benedict office building which is located at 1280 ute Avenue in the City of Aspen (see Exhibit 1, Pre-Appl ication Conference summary, attached hereto). Vested property rights status is requested for the subdivision exemption approved pursuant to this application. The application is submitted pursuant to sections 7-1003 .A. 3. and 7-1007.A. of the Land Use Regulations by Fredric A. and Fabienne Benedict and the Benedict Land and Cattle Company, the owners of the property (see Exhibit 2, Title Commitment). permission for Vann Associates, Inc. to represent the Applicants is attached as Exhibit 3. Background A building permit was issued for the Benedict building on March 12, 1973 (see Exhibit 4, Building Permit No. 71-73). construction apparently commenced later that spring, and the building was completed and ready for occupancy, with the exception of the south wing, in April of 1974 (see Exhibit 5, Inspection Record). The building permit indicates that the building was to be used for office purposes, and that a one (1) bedroom dwelling unit was to be included in the struc- ture. As the accompanying improvement survey illustrates, the property on which the Benedict building is located is legally described as Lot 16 of the Callahan Subdivision. It should be noted, however, that Lot 16 was created in connection with 230 East Hopkins Avenue' Aspen, Colorado 81611 . 303/925-6958 r~ J Ms. Kim Johnson December 31, 1991 Page 2 the approval of the Callahan Subdivision, and the recordation of the sUbdivision I s final plat on May 19, 1976. At the time the original building permit was issued, the southern portion of the lot was located in the county. This area was annexed to the city pursuant to City council Ordinance No. 64 on october 27, 1975, as the Callahan Annexation. While the property's early zoning history is difficult to trace, the new zoning map adopted by the city on April 28, 1975, depicts the portion of the property on which the building was constructed as being zoned R-15, Residential, mandatory Planned unit Development. An amended zoning map adopted on March 23, 1976, depicts the portion of the property annexed pursuant to the Callahan Annexation as being zoned RR, Rural Residential, mandatory PUD. It should also be noted that various building permits issued subsequent to April 28, 1975, for leasehold improvements to the Benedict building's south wing refer to the building as a non-conforming use. However, as the various permits did not involve expanding the size of the building, the proposed tenant improvements were found to be in compliance with the city's non-conforming use regulations. The Callahan Subdivi- sion and PUD Agreement also acknowledged that Lot 16 was to accommodate an "existing office building for such uses as have heretofore been approved by the city." project site Lot 16 contains approximately eighty-seven thousand one hundred and twenty (87,120) square feet of land area. The property I s 1976 R-15, Residential, and RR, Rural Residential, mandatory PUD, zoning classifications remain unchanged. Existing man-made improvements to the property include a two (2) story frame building with a partial basement and an improved parking area. With the exception of a one (1) bedroom, free market apartment, the building is devoted C ~(7 entirely to professional and business office use. Three (3) ~, small brick outbuildings are used for storage purposes. As the survey and title commitment indicate, the property is encumbered by a variety of utility easements. In addition, a fourteen (14) foot trail easement traverses the rear of the property parallel to the Roaring Fork River. An asphalt pedestrian and bicycle trail has been constructed within the trail easement. The survey also depicts a twenty-four (24) foot access and utility easement which was conveyed to the city by the Applicants, and which provides access to the property from Ute Avenue. ,..." ::) Ms. Kim Johnson December 31, 1991 Page 3 proposed Development The Applicants propose to condominiumize the existing building, and to sell and/or lease the condominium spaces for business and professional office use. The existing one bedroom apartment will be retained as a free market dwelling unit. No expansion of the building is anticipated at this time. It is possible, however, that portions of the build- ing's interior may be remodeled by individual tenants and/or owners. Appropriate permits for such activities will be obtained by these individuals as may be required. Review Requirements Pursuant to section 7-l007.A. of the Regulations, the condominiumization of an existing commercial building is subject only to the receipt of subdivision exemption approval from the city Council and the recordation of a condominium map and declaration which meets the requirements of the city's Engineering Department. The Applicants will submit a condominium map and declaration for review and execution by the Engineering Department following the receipt of subdivi- sion exemption approval. The map and declaration will be recorded with the pitkin county Clerk and Recorder's office prior to the conveyance of any individual condominiumized spaces. As you know, the condominiumization of residential units ~mposes certain additional review requirements. Pursuant to section 7-1007 .A.1., existing tenants must be given an option to purchase their units upon notification by the owner that they will be offered for sale. In addition, condominiumized residential units located in the R-15 zone district are subject to a six (6) month minimum lease restriction, and the payment of an Affordable Housing Impact Fee or the restric- tion of the unit to the city's so-called "Resident occupancy" guidelines. An inspection of the unit for compliance with basic fire, health and safety standards is also required. :f '1r;?A. - ,- 7 "---/~'o . To satisfy these requirements, the Applicants will execute and record a subdivision exemption agreement, in connection with their condominium map and declaration, which imposes a six month minimum lease restriction on the one bedroom apartment. The Applicants will either pay the appropriate affordable housing impact fee or deed restrict the unit to resident occupancy. A decision as to which approach to follow, however, has not been made at this time. In order to preserve the land use approval which may be ~ ') Ms. Kim Johnson December 31, 1991 Page 4 obtained as a result of this application, the Applicants hereby request vested property rights status pursuant to the provisions of section 6-207 of the Land Use Regulations. It is understood by the Applicants that, to establish such status, final approval of the proposed development must be granted by City Council ordinance. It is also the Appli- cants' understanding that no specific submission require- ments, or review criteria other than a public hearing, are required to confer such status.
