Attachment 5
One Step City Council Review of COWOP Project
1. Submit Development Application. Based on your pre - application meeting, you should respond to the
application package and submit the requested number of copies of the complete application and the appropriate
processing fee to the Community Development Department. Depending upon the complexity of the development
proposed, Staff may suggest submitting only one copy. This way any corrections that may be necessary can be
accomplished before making additional copies
2. Determination of Completeness. Within five working days of the date of your submission, staff will
review the application, and will notify you in writing whether the application is complete or if additional materials
are required. Please be aware that the purpose of the completeness review is to determine whether or not the
information you have submitted is adequate to review the request, and not whether the information is sufficient to
obtain approval.
3. Staff Review of Development Application. Once your application is determined to be complete, a date
for the Commission or Council review will be set. Applications are scheduled for review on the first available
agenda given the requirements for public notice.
During the staff review stage, the application will be referred to other agencies for comments. The Planner
assigned to your case or the agency may contact you if additional information is needed or if problems are
identified. The Planner will prepare a review memo which addresses the proposal's compliance with the Land Use
Code and incorporates the referral comments. The planner will recommend approval, denial or tabling of the
application and recommend appropriate conditions to this action. You will be called to pick up a copy of the memo
and the agenda at the end of the week before your hearing, or we can mail it to you if you so request.
During the period of staff review, it is essential that public notice be given, when required for your development
application. The requirements for notice of your application are provided in Attachment 7.
COWOP Development Team Review. The project will be reviewed by the COWOP Development Team to
shape and plan the project to meet the development goals of the developer and the Community.
Commission or Council Review of Development Application. Your project will be presented to City Council at
a regularly scheduled meeting. The typical meeting includes a presentation by staff, a presentation by you or your
representative, questions and comments by the review body and the public, and an action on the staff
recommendation, unless additional information is requested by the review body. City Council will act as the
review body on all of the land use reviews in which the COWOP Project must complete pursuant to the City of
Aspen Land Use Code.

CODE) TO PROVIDE FOR A NEW LAND USE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENTS DETERMINED TO BE NECESSARY FOR THE CONVENIENCE OR
WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend Title 26, Land Use Regulations, of the

welfare of the public; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Aspen has reviewed
the proposed language of this ordinance and has recommended its adoption by the City Council
in order to provide a simplified, comprehensive and flexible process for reviewing

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF ASPEN,
COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:
y
Section 1.

with Section 26.500.050.
Section 3-
That Title 26 be amended by the addition of a new Section 26.500 which shall read as
follows:
Chapter 26.500
DEVELOPMENT REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR THE CONVENIENCE AND
WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC
26.500.010 Purpose. It is the purpose of this Chapter to exempt certain types of
development from all applicable sections, except as herein noted, of Title 26 and to establish
an alternative process and standards for the review, analysis and approval of those types of
developments determined to be eligible for such alternative review and analysis. The purpose
in identifying and applying alternative review standards for certain developments eligible for
such treatment is to provide a more flexible, streamlined, thorough and coordinated review
and approval process, and to allow for greater public participation in the review process when
it is determined by the City Council to be in the best interests of the City to do so.
26.500.020 Authority. As a home rule municipality organized and operating under
Article XX of the Colorado Constitution, the City of Aspen is vested with the authority and
power to exempt certain types of development from the Aspen Land Use Code, Title 26 of the
Aspen Municipal Code. See Clark v Town of Estes Park, 686 P.2d 777 (Colo. 1984); City of
Colorado Springs v Smartt, 620 P.2d 1060 (Colo. 1980).
26.500.030. Applicability. Only those development applications determined by the
City Council to be reasonably necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public shall be
eligible for review and approval in accordance with this Chapter. Only those portions of Title
26 which are specifically incorporated in the ordinance granting final approval of a
development order shall be applicable to a project determined to be reasonably necessary for
the convenience or welfare of the public.
26.500.040. Standards for Determination. A development may be determined to be
reasonably necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public if the applicant for
development is the City of Aspen, an agent of the City of Aspen authorized by the City
Council to proceed under this Chapter of the Land Use Code, or the City of Aspen or agent of
the City of Aspen is a co- applicant with a private party for the development of land which
constitutes an essential public facility, provides essential services to the public, and which is in
the best interests of the City of Aspen to be completed. By way of example and not limitation,
the following types of developments may be determined to be reasonably necessary for the
convenience or welfare of the public: (a) affordable housing projects developed by the City of
Aspen by itself or in conjunction with an agent or private developer; (b) the development of
public utilities; (c) park and recreational facilities development; (d) public infrastructure
improvements; (e) public buildings and structures; or (f) transportation improvements.
26.500.050. Procedure.
A. Community Development Director. The Community Development Director, upon
determining that the proposed development application may be eligible for consideration as a
project reasonably necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public may consult with the
Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the proposed development's eligibility and shall
thereafter prepare a memorandum for the City Council that: (a) outlines the reasons for
consideration as an eligible project; (b) sets forth the conclusions of any referral comments
received by the Community Development Director, if any; (c) includes the procedures the
applicant would be required to follow if the project is determined not to be an eligible project;
(d) includes a recommendation on the alternative procedure to be followed should the project
be determined to be an eligible project; and (e) includes a recommendation as to the
appropriate City boards and commissions and other interested parties necessary for the review
of the project. The Community Development Director, before preparing such a memorandum
for the City Council may convene a technical staff meeting consisting of the applicant, the
applicant's representative, City staff members, consultants, and any other persons for the
purpose of identifying and resolving any potential issues associated with the provision of
utilities and services, environmental constraints, site engineering, access and circulation,
anticipated public concerns, and any other technical information which would assist the
Community Development Director to prepare the initial memorandum to the City Council. The
Community Development Director shall formally notify the Planning and Zoning Commission,
the Historic Preservation Commission, and, if applicable, the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing
Authority, in writing, of the date of the hearing before the City Council at which time a
determination is to be made concerning eligibility of the proposed development pursuant to this
Chapter. The Community Development Director shall provide notice to the public, including
publication, posting and mailing, in accordance with Section 26.304.060(E).
B. City Council Determination of Eligibility. Following a public hearing in accordance
with Section 26.304.060(C), the City Council shall by resolution (a) make a determination
whether the proposed development is reasonably necessary for the convenience and welfare of
the public by applying the standards of Section 26.500.040; (b) establish a procedure for
review of the proposed project to include standards of review; (c) establish a Task Force Team
to review the development proposal and identify members of City boards, commissions, and
other interested parties, (including at least two (2) members of the public at large) to be
included as members of the Task Force Team, which shall include representation by the
Planning and Zoning Commission; and, (d) establish a timeframe for the procedures to be used
to review the proposed development. If the proposed project proposes development subject to
Chapter 26.415 (Development in an "H ", Historic Overlay District, or Involving the
Inventory of Historic Sites and Structures), or Chapter 26.420 (Historic Overlay District and
Historic Landmarks), the City Council shall include in the review procedures the requirement
for an application for review of the eligible project to the Historic Preservation Commission in
accordance with the applicable sections of the Land Use Code. The City Council may, in
appropriate circumstances, include as part of the review process it adopts a separate referral to
the Planning and Zoning Commission, or any other City board and commission for their
separate review and recommendation. Should the City Council determine that the proposed
development is not reasonably necessary for the convenience and welfare of the public, the
application shall be reviewed in accordance with the applicable sections of this Land Use
Code. The City Council may amend the resolution at any time upon the request of the
applicant, the Community Development Director, or upon its own motion.
C. Community Development Technical Staff Review. Following a determination by the
City Council that a proposed development is reasonably necessary for the convenience or
welfare of the public, the Community Development Director shall convene a staff level,
interdepartmental development review committee meeting for the purpose of identifying and
resolving any potential issues associated with the provision of utilities and services,
environmental constraints, site engineering, access and circulation and for providing any other
technical information to the applicant which would assist in the preparation of an application
for further review. Following the technical staff review process, the Community
Development Director shall assist the applicant in preparing a formal application and
preparation for submission of the development application to the appropriate boards,
commissions and other interested parties identified by the City Council for such reviews.
D. Review of Application by Task Team. The members of the task team, composed
of members of City boards and commissions, and interested parties identified by the City
Council resolution shall meet and review the proposed development application using the
standards of review identified in the resolution adopted by the City Council in accordance with
subsection (B), above. The chair of the Task Force Team shall be the Director of the
Community Development Department. The chair of the Task Force Team shall prepare
meeting agendas, coordinate meeting dates for the Task Force Team, and facilitate all
meetings. Following a review of the proposed development and at such time as the Community
Development Director believes that further review would not significantly improve the overall
development proposal, the Community Development Director shall report to the City Council
the recommendations of the boards, commissions, and interested members of the public which
participated in the review of the proposed project. The Community Development Director's
report to Council shall include: (a) a recommendation as to whether the proposed development
should continue to be considered to be reasonably necessary for the convenience and welfare
of the public; (b) all of the land use decisions and approvals that need to be made for the
proposed development; (c) a report of the deliberations and recommendations made by the
Task Force Team; and (d) any conditions of approval that may be necessary for the land use
approvals. The Community Development Director shall present to the City Council a proposed
ordinance that incorporates all of the applicable recommendations of the report.
E. City Council Adoption of Ordinance. The City Council upon receipt of the report
and proposed ordinance from the Community Development Director shall approve, approve
with conditions, or disapprove an ordinance granting a development order for the proposed
development. In the event that the City Council determines that the application should no
longer be considered to be reasonably necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public,
the applicant shall be granted the option of filing a new application with the Community
Development Director for review and consideration in accordance with Chapter 26.304.
Section 4.
This ordinance shall not have any effect on existing litigation and shall not operate as
an abatement of any action or proceeding now pending under or by virtue of any ordinance
repealed or amended as herein provided, and the same shall be construed and concluded under
such prior ordinances.
Section 5.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is for
any reason held invalid or unconstitutional in a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion
shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and shall not affect the validity
of the remaining portions thereof.

Re: 220 Puppy Smith Road Property
Determination of Eligibility as a Development Reasonably Necessary for
the Convenience and Welfare of the Public ( COWOP) Review Process,
Public Hearing, City Council Resolution No. 112, Series of 2000
Date: August 28, 2000
SUMMARY:
The City Manager's Office, on behalf of the City of Aspen, has submitted a request
for determination of COWOP eligibility for an affordable housing project
contemplated for development on property located at 220 Puppy Smith Road.
Staff believes that the contemplated proposal should be found to be eligible for the
COWOP process for the reasons as follows:
• The subject property is owned by the City of Aspen;
• An affordable housing project is being contemplated for the site;
• The affordable housing project would be in the best interest of the City to
undertake and complete;
• The addition of affordable housing stock in the City of Aspen would further the
goals of the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Staff recommends that the City Council find that the contemplated
development proposal for the property located at 220 Puppy Smith Road be
determined to be reasonably necessary for the convenience and welfare of the
public and approve Resolution No. 112, Series of 2000.
STAFF COMMENTS and ISSUES:
The Puppy Smith project is the first public project requesting to be considered as a
COWOP project and utilize the newly adopted COWOP provisions of the Land Use
Code. As originally conceived, the COWOP process was established to ensure a
high quality project that benefits from public participation, interested parties and the
involvement by citizen boards and commissions early in the creation of a
development plan. Staff feels that the City could not have asked for a better first
candidate for "testing" the COWOP process. The size of the property, scale of the
development being contemplated, the fact that ACES has shown an interest in being
involved in the process all lend themselves to conducting the type of interactive
process that COWOP will allow.
Should the Puppy Smith project not be found eligible for COWOP, the project
would proceed under the standard provisions of the Land Use Code as a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) requiring separate hearings (two (2) hearings each) before
the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The process would likely
include a formal review as a significant development by the Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC) requiring two (2) reviews, conceptual and final by that board.
(Preliminary evaluation by the Historic Preservation Office indicates that the
existing residence is of historic significance and the subject property is currently
proposed for inclusion on the City's Historic Inventory.)
Should the Puppy Smith project be found eligible for COWOP, the project
would proceed to the HPC for initial determination of historic significance. Staff
feels this step is necessary so that the fundamental issue of historic integrity is
resolved and the evolution of the development plan for the site can move forward
with this in mind. For example, will the development plan need to incorporate or
work around the existing house or should the house be razed? The next steps would
include convening the COWOP task force team for the actual creation of the
development plan and recommendations to both HPC and Council. Conceptual and
final review as a significant development would be conducted by the HPC. Final
action on the development proposal would be undertaken by the City Council by
ordinance. It is anticipated that the process would take between 4 -6 months. This
recommended process and timeframe is included in the proposed resolution.
Below is a list of recommended participants and numbers for the task force team.
These participants are included in the proposed resolution.

Dear Julie Ann,

THE CITY OF ASPEN
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGES
This letter shall serve as an official request to initiate a "determination of eligibility" for
development reasonably necessary for the convenience and welfare of the public
( COWOP) pursuant to Section 26.500.050, Procedure, B.) City Council Determination of
Eligibility of the City of Aspen Land Use Code.
This request is being made by the City Manager as agent on behalf of the City of Aspen,
owner of the subject property located at 220 Puppy Smith Road. The subject property is
legally identified as Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 4 of the Lakeview Addition to the City and
Townsite of Aspen. The property is 9,600 square feet in size and gains access directly
from Puppy Smith Road. It is currently zoned R -15 PUD and is developed with one
single - family dwelling.
The development being contemplated for the subject land is an affordable housing project
to accommodate City of Aspen employees. At this time, no specific development
program is proposed in terms of density, number of units, site plan or design, as the
COWOP project will serve as a forum to create the development plan.
We feel this project is an ideal one to utilize the COWOP process for the following
reasons:
1. The subject property is currently owned by the City of Aspen;
2. As contemplated, the development project would be initiated and carried out by the
City of Aspen for employee housing to meet the demand of employees of the City of
Aspen organization;
3. The project stands to gain from and be improved by a multifaceted approach through
a diverse COWOP task team, including neighbors to the project; and
4. The project would provide for much needed employee housing to meet the stated
goals of the Aspen Area Community Plan.
Please initiate the procedures necessary for allowing us to proceed on this project as a
COWOP project. Let me know if there is any additional information that I can provide at
130 SOUTH GALENA STREET ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 -1975 - PHONE 970.920.5212 FAX 970.920.5119 Exhibit B

MEMORANDUM
TO: Historic Preservation Commission
THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director
FROM: Joyce A. Ohlson, Deputy Director of Community Development
RE: 220 Puppy Smith Road - Determination of Eligibility for COWOP
(convenience and welfare of the public) process
DATE: August 16, 2000
b /c{o /ao
In accordance with the provisions of the COWOP process steps, the City Council will
conduct a public hearing on August 28, 2000 to determine whether a proposed affordable
housing development contemplated for the property located at 220 Puppy Smith Road is
eligible to be reviewed as a COWOP project. The HPC is considering this property as an
addition to the historic inventory.
The COWOP process requires that the HPC be given written notice of the public hearing.
Attached is the official legal notice.
Community Development Staff is recommending that the contemplated development for
this property be considered qualified as eligible for the COWOP process due to the public
ownership of the property, the provision of affordable housing and the City being the
developer of the project. Staff is also recommending that the first step in the review
process be a worksession with the HPC, that the COWOP "task team" include
representatives from the HPC and that once the development plan is formulated, the HPC
take official review action.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call me at 920-
5062.
