PLANNING OFFICE September 29, 1981 Aspen Planning g Zoning Commission City Hall 130 South Galena Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Sirs: I understand that a hearing will be held in Aspen on October 6th to review the merits of re- zoning the old Post Office Building (at the corner of Spring and Hyman Streets), so that it could be used as a restaurant and for a printing company. I own a condominium, Apartment No. 20, in Chateau Aspen, which is immediately across the alley from the Post Office. Chateau Aspen has, as part of its property, a parking area on the south side of the alley, and the Post Office is on the north side of the alley. I am convinced that, should a restaurant or any similar activity be permitted for the Post office, this would result in a situation where non - residents of the Chateau Aspen building would utilize the private Chateau Aspen parking area. I conclude this, since parking space is always at a premium in Aspen. We just returned from a two -week visit there in mid Septem- ber- -which is one of the less active periods - -and parking was difficult even at that time. Since the alley is narrow, and the parking area adjacent to the Post Office, and which would be used by any users of the Post Office space, is limited, there would both be obstruction of the Chateau Aspen parking space and unauthorized use of it. For the Chateau Aspen Management to police that parking area would be quite expensive and probably impractical. A further concern is that any public facility where the activity would involve the utilization of a large number of people, such as a restaurant, and particularly in the evening, would unquestionably result C - 2 - in a significant increase in noise and confusion during the late evening. All of the apartments in Chateau Aspen are residences involving sleeping quarters, and any such confusion could significantly and adversely affect the people using the Chateau Aspen apartments. For the above reaons, we request that the old Post office not be re -zoned for use as awould restaurant, or for any such activity, involve business hours activities between 8:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M., or which would result in an increase in traffic or parking in the alley between the two buildings. Yours ncerely, jC. King I MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Alan Richman, Assistant Planning Director RE: Davis Conditional Use DATE: October 1, 1951 Location: Old Post Office Building, 307 S. Spring at Hyman Avenue Lot Size: 9000 square feet Zoning: C -1 Background: The applicant proposes to place a Shogun Steak House of Japan in the old Post Office Building. Earlier this year a code amendment was processed which made restaurants a conditional use in the C -1 zone district. No specific review criteria were attached to this conditional use, implying that its review should be based solely on Section 24 -3.3 of the code. This section provides three criteria for determining the suitability of a conditional use, including: Does the proposed use comply with all requirements imposed by the zoning code? 2. Is the use consistent with the objectives and purposes of the zoning code? 3. Is the use compatible with surrounding land uses? Planning Office Examining the above criteria, the Planning Office has several Review: concerns with this application. The first issue concerning compliance with the zoning code is whether or not the commer- cial use of the building requires an allotment under the GMP. The Planning Office feels that the conversion of non - commercial space to commercial uses should require receipt of an allot- ment since the impact of this action on the community can be severe. The Planning Office does not interpret the Post Office to be a commercial use (land use texts call it "Insti- tutional") and recent uses of the building as a non - profit theatre and for the thrift shop represent temporary accommoda- tions of needy uses. However, the former City Attorney interprets the Post Office to be a commercial use and feels that use of the building for commercial purposes would be exempt from the GMP. The current City Attorney agrees with this interpretation. A second concern of the Planning Office related to land use compatibility is that of parking. The applicant does not plan to provide off - street parking for the restaurant since Section 24 -4.5 of the code does not require such spaces for commercial uses in the C -1 zone district. Nevertheless, the traffic which might be generated by a restaurant in this location, which is frequently congested during the day and night during the peak season, leads us to question the compatibility of a restaurant with its neighbors. Indeed, the planning Office has received a letter from William King, President of the Aspen Chateaux Condominium Association, objecting to this conditional use on the basis of parking and noise considerations. A final area of concern for the Planning Office relates to consistency with the objectives and purposes of the zone district, The intention of the C -1 zone district is "to provide for the establishment of commercial uses which are not primarily oriented towards serving the tourist population ". The Planning Office objected strenuously to the original Memo: Davis Conditional Use Page Two October 1, 1981 proposal to allow restaurants as a conditional use in the C -1 zone district because they were not necessarily in keeping with the intent of the district, as well as that they would further erode the distinction between the CC and C -1 zone districts. The applicant states that the menu of the proposed restaurant will be affordable by local residents and that it will be open year -round to serve local residents. The Planning Office remains unconvinced of the ability to enforce these conditions and to maintain them following the opening of the restaurant. Furthermore, even if it is accepted that the proposal before you is to establish a local- oriented restaurant, then the establishment of any restaurant in this location provides a precedent by which, in the future, a restaurant which is clearly tourist - oriented can be located in the old Post Office Building. However, P & Z should note that Council has found that a restaurant is an appropriate use in the C -1 zone district and that the applicant has made a legitimate effort to comply with our code. Other Review The Engineering Department notes that the restaurant would Comments: require a trash area and open access from the alley for delivery and service access. Since all of the on -site area adjacent to the alley is currently used for contract parking, this condition cannot be met unless the applicant secures the use of that area. The Engineer suggests that the appli- cant be required to provide trash and delivery access to the west end of the structures, where the kitchen will be located. The Environmental Health Department has no objections to the applicant's proposal but notes that the plans are not yet complete enough to determine the facility's compliance with the State's Food Service Rules and Regulations. That office will approve or deny the applicant "s plans at such time as they are complete. Planning Office Recommendation: Based on the above discussion, the Planning Office finds that the proposed use does not comply with all the require- ments imposed by the zoning code (it should compete for this space under the GMP); it is not consistent with the objectives and purposes of the zoning code (restaurant may not be consistent with the intent of the C -1 district); and it is not compatible with surrounding land uses (parking and noise problems are objectionable to neighboring residents). The Planning Office feels that it is important that we remain consistent with our previous position that as a general rule, restaurants should not be permitted in the C -1 zone district. We also believe that in the specific case before you, this particular restaurant is not an appropriate use of this particular building. We therefore recommend that you deny the applicant's conditional use request to put a restaurant in the old Post Office Building. . 1 0 c- u�� ISJN �I n ckQ p o s' J c� w, a,. nr d� y / Ile- � O .� .. _ /ti S C? 0 AZT ol� P-0 � _ ti en Chateau Company Chateaux Management Office • Box 4420 • Aspen, Colo. 81611 • Phone 303/925-1100 William L.

This item is tentatively being scheduled for the October 6, 1981 Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission agenda, Please review by Tuesday, September 29 and forward comments to me, Thank you for your assistance, MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Richman, Planning Department FROM: Jay Hammond, Engineering Department DATE: September 29, 1981 RE: Davis Conditional Use, Restaurant in a C -1 Zone Having reviewed the above application and made a site inspection, the Engineering Department has the following comment: The only concern noted during a site inspection this morning was that of service access. Clearly the restaurant would require a trash area and open access from the alley for delivery and service access. All of the on -site area adjacent to the alley is currently utilized for contract parking. The applicant should be required to secure the use of that area adjacent to the alley on the west end of the structure where the kitchen will be located for trash and delivery access. While a curb cut accesses the site from Hopkins, all trash delivery vehicles should be able to access from the alley.

EISENSTEIN September 10, 1981 925-8166 Alan Richman Aspen /Pitkin Planning Office 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 81611 Re: Conditional Use of a Restaurant in the Old Post Office Building Dear Alan, Please consider this an application for a conditional use pursuant to Ordinance 9, series of 1981; amending §24- 3.2 of the Aspen Municipal Code by the addition of a restaurant as a conditional use in the C -1 district and Ordinance 24- 3.3, grant of a conditional use. My client intends to open a Shogun Steak House of Japan at the location of the old post office building, which location is situated in the C -1 zone district. Pursuant to the grant of conditional use, §24 -3.3, I offer the following pertinent information. I believe that the grant of this conditional use clearly complies with the requirements imposed by the zoning code and is consistent with the objective and purposes of the zoning in the applicable zone district. This particular restaurant has taken into account concerns that were raised by the P & Z and City Council during discussion of Ordinance 9, series of 1981. It is my client's intention that the restaurant will be open year round. Their menu will be quite reasonable as dinners will vary from $9.00 to $18.00 for a seven (7) course meal. The meal will include soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, vegetables, rice, dessert, beverage and the entree. This type of menu will appeal not primarily to a tourist population but will also find widespread support among locals. Having the restaurant open year round will accomodate locals during periods when there are no tourists in town. Alan Richman September 10, 1981 Page 2 I believe the proposed use complies with all requirements imposed by the zoning code. The proposed use is designed to be compatible with the surrounding land uses and the uses in the area. My client will not be making any structural changes to the building. In fact, they will be making only minor modifications to the inside of the building to accomodate a restaurant use. I do not believe this use will generate any more traffic than that which has historically been generated by the post office. Daytime use will probably be less than the post office as the bulk of the business will be done during the evenings when parking in the area is more than adequate and does not compete with the downtown daytime business. I have included for your review a set of plans for the proposed renovations on the interior. I believe having been involved in the adoption of the ordinance that allows conditional uses of restaurants in the C -1 zone, that this use complies with the intent of the P & Z and City Council when they adopted the new ordinance allowing for restaurants in the C -1 district. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, LAW OFFICES OF GIDEON I.
