NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO as follows: Section 1 Pursuant to Section 24- 7 -804B of the Municipal Code, and subject to those conditions of approval as specified hereinafter, 4 374793 8-762 P -815 09/30/94 10 :19A PG 5 OF 28 the City Council finds as follows in regard to the Plan's spe- cially planned area development component: 1. The Developer's final plan submission is complete and sufficient to afford review and evaluation for approv- al. 2. The Plan is compatible and enhances the mix of devel- opment in the immediate vicinity of the Aspen Meadows and the proposed land uses as approved hereinbelow are deemed to be appropriate and allowable in their under- lying zone districts as authorized by an SPA overlay. 3. The Plan incorporates and provides sufficient public facilities and roads for the requested development, and provides significant open space, trails and public amenities for the residents and users of the develop- ment. 4. The Aspen Meadows is generally suitable for the requested development in terms of topography and the Plan creatively employs land planning techniques to preserve view planes and avoid adverse environmental impacts. 5. The Plan will not require the expenditure of excessive public funds in order to provide public facilities for the development or its surrounding neighborhoods. 6. The Plan is consistent with the Aspen Area Comprehen- sive Plan and the Aspen Meadows Master Plan. 7. The Plan demonstrates good and sufficient cause to remove the SPA designation for that portion of the Aspen Meadows property that is to be conveyed to the City and to adjust the current SPA boundary accord- ingly. Section 2 Pursuant to the findings as set forth in Section 1 above, the City Council grants final SPA development plan approval for the Plan subject to the following conditions: 1.

Development of the property shall be limited to the uses, density, configuration, and all other elements and conditions set forth on the final development plan, and in this ordinance and the SPA agreement. Failure on the part of the Developer to record the final development plan, plat, and SPA agree- ment within a period of 180 days following the adoption date of this Ordinance shall render the development plan and plat in valid. If the 180 days lapse, recon- sideration of the final development plan, plat and SPA agreement by the Planning and Zoning Commission and 11 374793 B-762 P -822 09/30/94 10:19A PG 12 OF 28 City Council will be required before its acceptance and recording.

Section 4 Pursuant to Section 24- 7 -1004C of the Municipal Code, and subject to those conditions of approval as specified hereinafter, the City Council finds as follows in regard to the Plan's subdi- vision development component: 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with both the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and Aspen Mead- ows Master Plan and is, furthermore, consistent with the character of existing land uses in the adjoining areas. 2. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the future development of surrounding areas and will be in substantial compliance with all re- quirements of Chapter 24 of the Municipal Code. 3. The proposed subdivision is compatible and suit- able with the topography of the area and will not present or create a threat to the health, safety or welfare of the residents or neighbors of the subdivision. 4. The proposed subdivision does not create spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies, duplication or premature extension of public facilities or unnec- essary public costs. 12 374793 B -762 P -823 09/30/94 10:19A PG 13 OF c8 5. The proposed new Meadows Road has the primary function of providing access to abutting property and will not carry through traffic, thus, warranting its designation as "local street ".

Section 6 Pursuant to Section 24 -8 -106 of the Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows in regard to the Plan's residential Growth Management Quota System allotment component: 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission has forwarded to City Council a residential development total score of 35.78 for the residential component of the Plan, such score exceeding the minimum scoring threshold. 2. The residential development component of the Plan was the only development project submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for 1990 residen- tial GMQS allotments. 3. The GMQS residential scoring considered and reflected the waiver of the six -month minimum lease requirement as set forth in the applicable condominiumization regulations. 15 • 374793 B -762 P -826 09/30/94 10:19A PG 16 OF 28 4. A multi -year or phased development allotment would not serve the best interests of the Plan or the general public. 5. Section 24- 8 -103B of the Municipal Code permits the awarding of development allotments in excess of the maximum allotment level in any given year. 6. The Plan as presented by the Developer warrants an excess development allotment and the Planning Office has indicated excess development allotments are available. 7. No challenges to the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion's scoring or ranking of the Plan's residen- tial development component have been submitted as permitted by Section 24- 8 -106I of the Municipal Code.

In accordance with Section 24- 8- 108(A)(1) of the Municipal Code, Developer, or its successor in interest, shall be eligible for exemption from the expiration of the GMQS allotments for residential Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 herein awarded upon proper demonstration that those conditions of final approval and the public improvements associated with Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been satisfactorily completed. 16 374793 8-762 P -827 09/30/94 10:19fl PG 17 OF 28 Section 8 Pursuant to Section 24- 8- 104(C)(1)(b), as amended per Ordinance No. 13, (Series of 1991), of the Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows in regard to Developer's request for Growth Management Quota System development exemption for essential public facilities: 1.

The MAA's proposed expansion of the Music Tent, the addition of a year -round rehearsal /performance hall, and expansion of the Music Tent gift shop, is essential for the revitalization of the Aspen Meadows property. 3. The programs and activities sponsored and or host- ed by the Institute and the MAA at the Aspen Meadows facilities have historically provided intellectual and cultural enrichment to the citi- zens of the City of Aspen without which the City would not have attained its present character and standing in the national and international commu- nity. Furthermore, the Aspen Meadows facilities, and those of the Institute and MAA in particular, have served and continue to serve important commu- nity needs and proposed expansions of same will only enhance their value and accessibility to the citizens of the City of Aspen and the general public. 4. The Institute's and MAA's proposed development involves essential public facilities, will enhance existing essential public facilities, and is not - for- profit in nature. 17 374793 8 -762 P- 828 09/30/94 10:19A PG 18 OF 28 Section 9 Pursuant to Section 24- 8- 104(C)(1)(b), as amended per Ordinance No. 13 (Series of 1991), of the Municipal Code, and the findings as set forth in Section 8 above, the City Council awards and grants Growth Management Quota System development exemptions from competition and affordable housing impact mitigation for the following Plan development on the basis that such development is for essential public facilities: 1.
