Continue Meeting planning and Zoning Commission July 14, 1981 Chairman Hedstrom called the meeting to order at 4:10 p.m. with members Roger Hunt, Joan Klar, Jasmine Tygre, Lee Pardee Proposed Commercial GMP Code Amendment - Alan Richman, planning office, said the resolution has been revised according to P & Z's comments. These were to come up with three areas essentially equal in point values, adding more discretionary points. The areas in which the threshholds have to be met are (l)quality of design; (2) public facilities and services, and (3) employee housing. The other areas are employee housing incentives; previous perform- ance, and compatibility with adopted plans and policies, and bonus points. The points are 18 in quality of design, 15 in public facilities, and 20 in employee housing. There are 8 bonus points available as well as 5 negative points in previous performance. The resolution eliminate the 5 points awarded for meeting all aspects of the housing office recommendation. Hunt asked how small projects will be handled. Richman said they are working on recommending an exemption, which will be before P & Z before next year's competition. The planning office wants to know the minimum square footage that will generate another employee before they write the exemption. Richman said a suggested section was compatibility with community plans and land use regulations. The staff looked at community plans, zoning regulations, providing a service to locals and/or resort economy. Richman said the staff had problems finding a basis to evaluate this and to enforce it. Richman said the 1973 land use map does suggest specific policies and what belongs in each category. Each category has an intent, and the staff can evaluate whether the intent of the projects for their location is compatible or not. This can be added to compatibility with the Aspen Area General Plan, 1966, with its amendments such as trails master plan, open space master plan, This would achieve the P & Z's desire for discretion. Staff offered the Board the choice of individual bonus points, or after discussion arriving at one bonus point number for the entire Board. Hedstrom said he would rather than it individual decision. Richman said an applicant has to get enough points in categories 1, 2, and 3 to have an allocation; bonus points in 4, 5, and 6 cannot get a project over the threshhold. The competitive aspects enters the picture after one has reached the threshold, this will determine the order of projects, which will determine the alloca- tion. Vann said an applicant should know the minimum points he has to provide to make the contest without any discretion. The Commission clarified that applicants could provide off-site employee housing; however, they could not buy existing employee housing as their employee housing, but had to add to the employee housing pool (get it). Richman said for this year's competition (1) the GMP coverage is not extended (2) not scoring changes, with the exception of historic features - 15 points gone; trash and utility access clarified. Commission requested that previous performance be added for this year. Richman suggested P & Z recommend to Council on 24,000 square feet be allocated and that the 6,000 square foot bonus from last year be eliminated. Commission requested the redrafted resolution be brought in final form at their next regular meeting. Hunt moved to adjourn at 5:15 p.m.; seconded by Ms. Klar. All in favor, motion carried.
