AN ORDINANCE OF THE ASPEN CITY COUNCIL DENYING A TEMPORARY
STAY ON DEMOLITION PERMITS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTIES UNDER

SITES AND STRUCTURES
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has undertaken an update
of the City of Aspen "Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures, which is required by the
Aspen Land Use Code and the Aspen Area Community Plan;" and
WHEREAS, the focus of the update is to add properties which have achieved
historic significance, many of which are Post World War II era structures that were not
thoroughly evaluated in previous inventories; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department is concerned with the
potential loss of resources before such time that the update is completed and the sites are
considered through a formal adoption process; and

under consideration have no protection and the Community Development Department
will have no authority to delay or deny a demolition permit on the basis of historic
significance; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department recommends that City
Council take prompt action to stay demolition permits on the properties listed in "Exhibit
A," until such time that they are either added to the "Inventory of Historic Sites and
Structures" or removed from consideration, or by four (4) months from the enactment of
this ordinance: and

a temporary stay on demolition permits for certain properties under consideration for the

recommendation of the Community Development Director, and has taken and considered
