ZONING: Commercial Core, cc STAFF COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-8-104 A.1. (d) the Planning Director may exempt the expansion of a commercial or office space if no new net leasable is added. The applicant, seeking to expand the main dining area, proposes the following: * eliminate a second dining room; * turn 246 square feet of the second dining area into storage; * move the existing office space into the remaining space of the second dining room; * extend the main dining room to include the area under the covered walkway for a total expansion of 246 square feet. Zoning and Engineering questioned whether this expansion was encroaching into non-conforming open space. When the building was built, in the early '80'S, the definition of open space pertained to unobstructed open space from the ground to the sky. The second floor balcony that overhangs the courtyard prevents the open area below to be considered calculable open space. The 246 square foot dining room expansion is not considered net leasable because 246 square feet of storage space is being created in exchange. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the GMQS Exemption for the expansion of commercial space which does not increase the new leasable with the following conditions: 1. The dining room is to be expanded by 246 square feet (excluding the old office space) and 246 square feet of the second dining room shall be converted to storage only. 2. Prior to issuance of a certificate of Occupancy, an inspection of the expansion and converted storage and office space shall be conducted to confirm no new leasable has been added to the restaurant space. 3. All representations made by the applicant and on the submitted plans shall be adhered to during development. 4. Prior to issuance of any building permits, plans shall be reviewed for zoning compliance. I hereby approve the GMQS Exemption for the enlargement of a commercial use which does not increase its net leasable square footage pursuant to section 8-104 A. of \:~Pter,24 of he Mu ic' al Code. 2 " . MEMORANDUM To: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office From: Chuck Roth, City Engineer ~ Date: April 20, 1993 Re: Cache Cache GMQS Exemption Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the Engineering Department has the following comments: L Parking - In CC zone, 2 parking spaces are required per 1,000 square feet of net leasable space, The application requests an additional 198 square feet. The parking space requirement for this increase would be 0.4 spaces, The Code provides for disregarding parking requirements of less than 1/2 space. If any other applications are received in the future for the Mill Street Plaza, this fractional parking space impact should be accumulated with parking calculations at that time. 2, Drainar:e - Since the increased space is underneath an existing balcony, there would be no changes to storm runoff drainage patterns, 3. Trash - The requested increased net leasable space represents a potential for a small increase in trash for the Mill Street Plaza. This increase should and must be able to be handled on site. 4, Previous Reviews - Other spaces in this building have been reviewed at least once in the past (Gordon's ?), I do not know if this space has been reviewed, 5. Sidewalks - Sections of the sidewalk along Hopkins Avenue are in a deteriorating condition, Portions meet the Code Section 19-104 as "hazardous sidewalk." I will separately notify the property owner of the need to repair the hazardous sidewalk, It would be best to completely replace the deteriorating portions of sidewalk. It is my understanding that there is electric heat in the sidewalk, This may be part of the concrete decay problem, Currently, Public Works will not issue a permit for electric sidewalk snow melt systems. There was an incident some years ago of a dog tied to a railing being electrically shocked on wet sidewalk that contained an electric snow melt system, , Sections of the interior walkways at the Cache Cache level are also in deteriorating condition. Walkways on private property are not regulated by City Code or DBC, to the best of my knowledge, however I suggest that their repair be a condition of approval. There are concrete benches at the Cache Cache level, in the courtyard, that are in a state of decay. 6. Curbs - The curbs along both the Mill Street and Hopkins Avenue frontages are in generally poor condition. Some sections are completely missing. The Code does not define "hazardous curb." In any event, I suggest that replacement of the missing sections of curb be required. Recommended Conditions of Approva] 1. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the missing sections of curb shall be replaced, and the sidewalks and interior walkways shall be repaired. cc: Bob Gish, Public Works Director M93.113 ....,...., MESSAGE DISPLAY TO LESLIE LAMONT CC BILL DRUEDING From: Bill Drueding Postmark: Apr 06,93 10:14 AM Subject: CACHE CACHE GMQS EXEMPTION REFERRAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message: THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS DOES THIS REDUCE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE? THE LOWER COURTYARD WAS COUNTED IN THEIR REQUIRED OPEN SPACE WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT..THE DEFINITION OF OPEN SPACE HAS BEEN CHANGED CAUSING THIS AREA TO BECOM NON-COINFORMING OPEN SPACE. IF THE ARE UNDER THE OVERHANG WASPREVIOUSLY COUNTED, THEN THE ENCLOSURE WOULD REULT IN INCREASING A NON-CONFORMITY.. I WILL RESEARCH THEIR ORINGIAL APPROVALS AND WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER ON THIS ISSUE. -------========X========------- ,....--., -"~ ASPEN/PITKIN PLANNING OFFICE 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Phone 920-5090 FAX 920-5197 MEMORANDUM TO: City Engineer Zoning Administration HPC FROM: RE: DATE: Leslie Lamont, Planning Office Cache Cache GMQS Exemption March 24, 1993 Attached for your review and comments is an application submitted by Cache Cache Restaurant.

V ANN ASSOCIATES Planning Consultants March 19, 1993 HAND DELIVERED Ms. Leslie Lamont AspenlPitkin Planning Office 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Cache Cache Restaurant GMQS Exemption Dear Leslie: Please consider this letter an application for a growth management quota system (GMQS) exemption for the remodeling of the Cache Cache restaurant, which is located at 205 North Mill Street in the Mill Street Plaza building (see Exhibit 1, Pre- Application Conference Summary, attached hereto). Please note that a separate application for HPC minor development plan approval has been submitted to Kim Johnson. This application is tentatively scheduled for review by the HPC on April 28, 1993. Both applications are submitted by Phillipe Mollicchi, the owner of the restaurant. Pennission from the building's owners, Mill Street Plaza Associates, for Mr. Mollic- chi to submit the application is attached as Exhibit 2. A letter from Anthony J. Mazza attesting to Mill Street Plaza Associates' ownership of the building is attached as Exhibit 3. Pennission for Vann Associates to represent the Applicant is attached as Exhibit 4. Pursuant to Section 8-104.A.1.d. of the Land Use Regulations, the Planning Director may exempt from the GMQS the expansion of an existing commercial use in a building which does not increase its net leasable square footage. Section 8-104.A.2., however, requires that an application for a building pennit for the proposed expan- sion be submitted prior to the Director's approval of the GMQS exemption. As no increase in net leasable area is proposed, and the Applicant wishes to confinn his ability to expand the restaurant use prior to the preparation of construction docu- ments, we respectfully request that this requirement be waived. A building pennit application will be submitted upon the receipt of HPC minor development plan approval and the requested GMQS exemption. As the accompanying architectural plans illustrate, the Applicant wishes to consoli. date the restaurant's two (2) dining rooms to improve setvice, and to provide for an 230 East Hopkins Avenue' Aspen. Co!orado 81611 . 303/925-6958' Fax 303/920-9310 Ms. Leslie Lamont March 19, 1993 Page 2 enlarged office and a new internal storage area. To accomplish these objectives, the Applicant proposes to expand the main dining room to include the covered walkway which abuts the restaurant's south facade. The expansion will involve approximately two hundred and forty-six (246) square feet. Of this amount, approximately one hundred and ninety-eight (198) square feet meet the definition of net leasable area. To offset the resulting increase in the restaurant's net leasable square footage, an equivalent or greater amount of the secondary dinning room will be converted to tenant storage. As you know, such areas are exempt from the calculation of net leasable square footage pursuant to Section 3-101 of the Regulations. The restau- rant's existing office will be relocated to the remainder of the secondary dining room, and the old office area converted to dining space. With respect to floor area, a substantial portion of the two hundred and forry-six (246) square foot addition is exempt from floor area calculations, as it is located one hundred (100) percent below grade. The remainder, while countable as floor area, does not increase the building's total floor area above the maximum aIlowed. Based on the CC zone district's floor area ratio of 1.5:1, the eighteen thousand (18,000) square foot Mill Street Plaza property is aIlowed a maximum floor area of twenty- seven thousand (27,000) square feet. As Table 1, below, indicates, the existing building's floor area is significantly less than the maximum aIlowed. Table 1 Floor Area Calculations Mill Street Plaza Building 1.
