Durant Street (Chanel), Minor Development Date: August 24, 1994 SUMMARY: The applicant requests HPC approval to install four awnings over the store's display windows. This building was built in 1980 and lies within the Commercial Core Historic District. APPLICANT: Chanel, Inc., represented by Brand and Allen Architects (San Francisco). LOCATION: 520 E. Durant Avenue, Lots L-S, Block 96, City and Townsite of Aspen. PROJECT SUMMARY AND REVIEW PROCESS: All development in an "H, " Historic Overlay District must meet all four Development Review Standards found in Section 7-601 of the Aspen Land Use Code in order for HPC to grant approval. 1. Standard: The proposed development is compatible in character with designated historic structures located on the parcel and with development on adjacent parcels when the subject site is in a "H, " Historic Overlay District or is adjacent to an Historic Landmark... Response: The Ajax Mountain building occupies most of this half block along Durant Street. This area forms the southern edge of the Commercial Core Historic District. Many of the shops in this building have awnings and they seem to be an effective way to shade windows as well as add visual interest to the building. The Polo shop was the first occupant of the building to request awnings, and they received approval from HPC in April 1987 on the condition that any other awnings placed on this building in the future be the same color. This is a policy HPC has continued to use to present. An applicant who would like to select a different color must reach an agreement with all the other tennants of the building that they will change their awnings to the new color as well. Staff is also concerned that the white may not be a "durable" color for awnings and may discolor very quickly. Planet Hollywood recently found that even light .. pink awnings began to look stained and unnattractive very quickly, and the white stripe in the Wheeler's awnings has become something closer to yellow. HPC's requirement that all awnings on one building be the same color has worked well to this point. It has been enforced recently, and in fact two shops in this building were required to remove and replace awnings which they installed at Christmastime in a different color scheme. Staff finds that it would be very unfair to allow an exception in this case. In retrospect, it was a somewhat poor choice that the awnings which were approved for the Ajax building were done in the Polo store's signature color, as the rest of the occupants who want awnings are effectively spreading the Polo logo across the building. 2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development. Response: The awnings themselves are appropriate to the character of the Commercial Core. 3. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not detract from the cultural value of designated historic structures located on the parcel proposed for development or on adjacent parcels. Response: This proposal has no impact on the cultural value of a historic resource. 4. Standard: The proposed development enhances or does not diminish from the architectural integrity of a designated historic structure or part thereof. Response: The proposed development does not directly impact any historic resource. ALTERNATIVES: The HPC may consider any of the following alternatives: 1) Approve the Minor Development application as submitted. 2) Approve the Minor Development application with conditions to be met prior to issuance of a building permit. 3) Table action to allow the applicant further time for restudy. (specific recommendations should be offered) 4) Deny Minor Development approval finding that the .. application does not meet the Development Review Standards. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that HPC approve the Minor Development application with the condition that the awnings installed are blue with gold lettering as are the other awnings on the Ajax Mountain building. No different color scheme should be allowed unless all existing awnings on the building are changed to match it.
