Staff, along with the consultant team, would like to provide an update on the process, hear Council’s feedback on the refined concept and ask for Council’s support to move into schematic design. SUMMARY / BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 4 provided approval for the city building exterior and footprint, as well as a detailed design for Galena Plaza. This went through an extensive land use review and was approved by Council. Members of the public reached out during the regular City Council meeting on March 25th to voice public support for re-visiting the design of Galena Plaza. This was a community driven request and approach. At the June 25th regular City Council meeting, City Council instructed staff to develop an approach to continue working with the community and engage the Galena Plaza consultant team to prepare three additional concepts. At the September 9th regular City Council meeting, City Council approved the change orders for the project team to continue the Galena Plaza improvement planning and public process. To date, we have kicked off the project, hosted meetings for initial feedback, developed three additional alternatives, hosted a public feedback forum to present the alternatives and obtain community feedback, prepared a refined alternative and hosted an office hours work session to obtain community feedback. The consultant team will present a summary of the process, the refined concept and considerations as we move into the next phase of schematic design. 2 Galena Shuttle The Galena Street shuttle began service in 1991 to create a critical connection between an underutilized garage and other parts of town, most critically Gondola Plaza, the downtown core and Mill street to the north. Over the past 28 years, the shuttle has serviced over 1.1 million riders and carried over 70,000 in 2018. The service operated in the winter and summer until the recession in 2009, when service was reduced to winter only as a cost savings measure. Since 2014, the route has been frequently rerouted to accommodate City Hall construction phasing. The service has had difficulties with reliability and consistency in recent years due to complexities in construction and modifications of the upper alley. In 2014, the alley was modified from the two-way configuration into the present one-way. The modification had a negative impact with shuttle schedules and timing due to the looping it created along Main Street and Mill Street. In recent years, the shuttle stop has been relocated to several areas including Rio Grande Drive due to construction which has created frustration and confusion with users. DISCUSSION: We welcome City Council’s feedback on the conceptual plan. The Open Space and Trails Board has officially provided unanimous support for the refined conceptual plan and will continue to be involved in ensuring the many views of the community are acknowledged and prioritized into the final design. Galena Shuttle The Galena Street Shuttle upper plaza stop is considered a critical location due to its proximity to the garage, the central location within the City and promotes a reduction in the impact that vehicles have in the downtown core. A single central stop reduces confusion to the rider, provides better reliability and consistency to the service: all qualities for a successful shuttle service. Staff is recommending a modification of the alley to a two-way drive - only for the Galena Street Shuttle and not general traffic- to improve the level of service and revert to the original route configuration prior to 2014. This two-way configuration creates the most efficient and effective method to route the shuttle because it presents the most identifiable stop for the rider, removes the back looping around Main & Mill Street, increases the flexibility for services and decreases the drive time while creating better schedules for riders. It is consistent with the City’s stated transportation goals to feature transit service as the most attractive option for those parking in the parking garage and/or utilizing the new City Hall. 3 FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: The project is currently funded based on a very simple design. The programming change to have the seat of City government in the new office building and the public request to reconsider the plan to develop a more programmed and intentional area design will increase costs, based on decisions made by Council, going forward. The types of changes being considered represent an increase in both hard and soft costs of the project. Based on the conceptual information we currently have, the rough order of magnitude for the Galena Plaza area is: Current refined conceptual design of Galena Plaza $2,650,000 Budget for Galena Plaza (based on previous design) $909,000 Parks funding for Galena Plaza 2020 $500,000 Parks Carrying funding for Galena Plaza 2021 $525,000 Estimated Variance $716,000 The refined conceptual plan will have impacts to the Galena Alley and Main Street. The financial impacts of modifications to these locations is yet to be fully determined. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Similar to those which are currently proposed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff would like to continue to work with the Consultant team and stakeholders to enrich and refine a schematic design. We would like to continue to engage with stakeholders and the community. 4 Letters of Support City of Aspen Open Space and Trails Board Pitkin County Library Board of Trustees Aspen Police Department Pitkin County Administration Pitkin County Facilities Department Sheriff’s Office Aspen City Forester 5 6 7 01/30/2020 Aspen City Council 130 S Galena St. Aspen CO. 81611 Mayor and Members of City Council: Please allow this letter to serve as an opportunity to express the recommendation of the Aspen Police Department in reference to the proposed removal of the Crabapple trees adjacent to the Courthouse on 506 E Main St. In a concerted effort to reduce the surplus of bear attractants within the municipality, the APD would recommend the removal of these trees or suggest that they are replaced with a non-fruit bearing tree. A similar approach has been suggested in the outline for the master plan for the Pedestrian Mall renovation. The Aspen Core has an inventory of approximately 105 Crabapple trees. These trees are a primary food source for bears in the early and late fall. Bear scat during this season is often littered with crabapple remnants as it is an easily accessible food source. The attainable food source throughout the town is an open invitation for bears to enter areas with high volumes of people instead of encouraging them to forage for natural food sources in the wilderness areas surrounding the town. Specifically, the Crabapple trees in areas that characteristically have a high volume of pedestrian traffic, pose a threat to the safety and wellbeing of our local bruins and creates a dynamic for a potentially hazardous human-bear conflict. Since 2010 the Aspen Police Department has responded to over 156 bear calls to the area of 506 E Main St. This large quantity of bear calls is a direct result of the ample food source that these trees provide. According to the Colorado Department of Wildlife “Intentional or inadvertent feeding is the major cause of most wildlife problems.” Allowing Bears to feed off fruit trees that are not native to this area, is a form of advertent feeding and can be closely equated to placing birdfeeder in your front lawn as an open invitation for wildlife visitors. Aspen has thoughtfully continued to seek development in a manner that honors our past, our environment, and our wildlife. In weighing the impact of development, we respectfully ask that we consider continuing to engineer solutions that would significantly reduce the number of in-town attractants. The strategic removal or replacement of these fruit-bearing trees will ultimately aid the effort to keep our wildlife truly wild. Kind Regards, Ginna Gordon #141 Community Response Supervisor 540 E. Main St. Aspen, CO 81611 c: 970-274-4141 ginna.gordon@cityofaspen.com 8 1 Michael Tunte From:Rich Englehart <rich.englehart@pitkincounty.com> Sent:Monday, January 27, 2020 8:15 AM To:Michael Tunte Cc:Joe DiSalvo; Jon Peacock; Jodi Smith Subject:Trees Michael, As per our conversation with Sheriff DiSalvo, we support the option's of leaving the parking as is, or if not, then relocating the parking in front of Veteren's Park on Main Street. Theses option's have the support of Administration, the Sheriff's Office and our Facilities Department. in either option we would ask that we maintain the same number of spaces as we currently have. Below is a response that involves the trees along the right-of-way that may or may not need to be removed along Main Street. We would support removing and replacing the trees with a different non-fruit bearing variety of your choice. Below are the concerns raised by our Facilities Director regarding the current trees for your reference if it is determined the trees needed to be removed.  Fruit Trees continuously damaged by bears.  Winter months, the fruit continues to fall on sidewalks and freeze, making it difficult to clear walkways.  Branches are broken and hanging over the sidewalk, laying on the ground or sidewalk, in addition to the bear scat left behind.  County staff is not allowed to trim or maintain the trees in the Right of Way per the City Parks dept.  The branches, fruit, and debris remains an eyesore, tripping hazard or unsightly condition.  There have been times when county staff has gotten ladders and buckets and removed the fruit from the trees to reduce bear activity as a worried the bears would pose risk to citizens, employee and/or risk being killed by DOW.  The bear activity invites crowds of people, again putting citizens and the bears at risk. Please let us know how we can further support your efforts. Thank you. Rich Rich Englehart Pitkin County Deputy County Manager 530 E. Main Street, Suite 302 Aspen, CO 81611 970‐429‐6135 (Office) 970‐618‐7232 (Cell) rich.englehart@pitkincounty.com 9 Dear Council Members, This letter is to express my support of the removal and replacement of the crabapple trees along Main Street in front of the Pitkin County Courthouse. From the urban forestry maintenance standpoint, I believe these trees are not sustainable. These particular trees have proven to be favored by bears for foraging, and Parks routinely responds to calls about broken branches in the late Summer season. The trees are irreversibly damaged on a routine basis, which results in a high maintenance cost for the community. While some of the trees have sustained more severe damage than others, they are all showing signs of stress which is demonstrated by the vertical sprouting at the top of the trees. The healthy or otherwise natural form of the trees has been permanently altered from what it should be. Removing these trees and replacing them with non-fruit bearing trees would be a viable solution for creating a sustainable planting. Please see the attached info sheets for two non- fruit bearing crabapples. I understand that it is not an easy decision to remove trees that have been enjoyed by many in the community for years, and I am happy to further discuss this topic with you. Sincerely, David Coon Aspen City Forester 10 P.O.

Gilman and Dennis G. Watson 2 INTRODUCTION ‘Spring Snow’ Crabapple is unusual in that it is typically fruitless (Fig. 1). Its use should be limited in areas where scab, fireblight or rust is a problem. The dense, oval crown grows to about 25 to 30 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. Early pruning to remove lower branches and purchasing tree-form specimens at the nursery can usually ensure that pruning requirement can be kept to a minimum.

They are attractive during the summer, bearing glossy green foliage. A row of Crabapples along each side of the street or median strip can "make" a neighborhood. Select plants which have been grafted onto EMLA 106 or 111 rootstock to reduce root suckering. It is best grown in a sunny location with good air circulation and have no particular soil preferences, except soil should be well drained. Crabapple is well- adapted to compacted urban soil, tolerates drought and poor drainage well and is somewhat tolerate of salt- spray. Well adapted to all areas within its hardiness zone range, including Texas and Oklahoma. Do not overfertilize since this could increase the incidence of disease. Select only from more disease-resistant cultivars if scab, fireblight or rust is a problem in the area. Root-pruned trees appear to transplant most easily. Crabapples grow well in the Texas panhandle but are not extremely drought tolerant and are not well suited for high pH soil. According to the Ornamental Crabapple Society, Malus spp. adapted for street tree and urban use include ‘Adams’, ‘Bob White’, ‘David’, ‘Donald Wyman’, ‘Profusion’, ‘Red Splendor’ and Malus floribunda. Be sure to specify tree form plants for street tree use since branching may be too low on trees grown for specimen use. Contact the Ornamental Crabapple Society, Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois 60532 for more information on Crabapples. Other white flowered cultivars include: ‘Baccata Columnaris’ - narrow crown, white flowers, red or yellow fruit; ‘Baccata Gracilis’ - slow-growing, shrub-like, white flowers, fruit small and dark red, annual bearer; ‘Baccata Jackii’ - upright form, white flowers, bright red fruit, annual bearer, also good to excellent disease resistance; ‘Callaway’ - pink buds, white flowers, red fruit; ‘David’ - pink buds open to white flowers, scarlet fruit, good to excellent disease resistance; ‘Dolgo’ - pink buds, white flowers, large red fruits; ‘Donald Wyman’ - disease-resistant but susceptible to fire blight, glossy red showy fruit; ‘Ellwangeriana’ - red fruit, disease-resistant; ‘Floribunda’ - pink to red bud opens to single white flower, yellow or red fruit - commonly available; ‘Gloriosa’ - pink bud opens to white flower, red, large fruit; ‘Golden Hornet’ - upright arching habit, white flower, yellow fruit; ‘Gorgeous’ - pink bud opens to large, white flower, red to orange fruit; ‘Harvest Gold’ - white flowers followed by yellow fruits; ‘Hupehensis’ - Tea Crabapple - pink buds open to white flowers, greenish fruit; ‘Katherine’ - double flowers opening pink, fading to white, fruit yellow and red; ‘Mary Potter’ - pink buds open to single white flowers, red and fairly large fruit, susceptible to scab and powdery mildew; ‘Red Jade’ - weeping habit, white flowers, red fruit persisting after leaves drop; ‘Sargenti’ - dwarf, pink bud opens to white flowers, small dark red fruit; ‘Snowdrift’ - white flowers, orange red fruit; ‘Tanner’ - white flowers, red fruits, susceptible to diseases; ‘Tschonoski’ - white flowers, vigorous growth, good bronze red fall color, fruit brownish; ‘White Angel’ - white flowers, glossy red fruit persisting into winter; ‘White Candle’ - pink buds open to white flowers, red fruit, upright growth habit; ‘Zumi Calocarpa’ - white flowers, bright red persistent fruit. One of the best Crabapples for the south is Malus x Callaway. Disease-resistant cultivars include: ‘David’, ‘Dolga’, ‘Donald Wyman’, ‘Ellwangeriana’, ‘Inglis’, ‘Jackii’, ‘Jewelberry’, ‘Margaret’, ‘Mary Potter’ ‘Mount Arbor Special’, ‘Prairifire’, ‘Professor Sprenger’, ‘Tomiko’. 14 Malus x ‘Spring Snow’ -- ‘Spring Snow’ Crabapple Page 4 Pests Aphids infest branch tips and suck plant juices, and are quite common. They can deform newly emerging foliage and secret honey dew creating a sticky mess beneath the tree, but will not kill the tree. Fall webworm makes nests on the branches and feeds on foliage inside the nest. Small nests can be pruned out or sprayed with Bacillus thuringiensis. Controlling severe infestations may require other chemicals. Scales of various types are controlled with horticultural oil. Borers can be a problem on stressed trees. Mites are too small to see easily so they can cause much foliage discoloration before being detected. Mites can be controlled to a degree with horticultural oil, but other chemicals are often required by the time mites are detected. The mite infestation can also be severe by the time foliage chlorosis or bronzing is evident. Eastern tent caterpillar builds tents or nests in trees in early summer or late spring. Feeding occurs on foliage outside the nest. Defoliation can be extensive if infestation is severe, and repeated defoliations for several years can weaken trees. Small nests can be removed by pruning them from the tree. Spray with Bacillus thuringiensis or other approved chemical. Do not burn nests while they are still in the tree. Diseases Fairly susceptible to disease. Scab infection takes place early in the season and dark olive green spots appear on the leaves. In late summer the infected leaves fall off when they turn yellow with black, spots. Infected fruits have black, slightly raised spots. Use resistant varieties to help avoid this severe problem. Fire blight susceptible trees have blighted branch tips, particularly when the tree is growing rapidly. Leaves on infected branch tips turn brown or black, droop, and hang on the branches. The leaves look scorched as by a fire. The trunk and main branches become infected when the bacteria are washed down the branches. Cankers form and are separated from adjacent healthy bark by a crack. The infected bark may be shredded. Use resistant cultivars when available since severe infections on susceptible trees can kill the tree. Powdery mildew coats leaves with white fungal growth resembling powder. Cedar apple rust causes brown to rusty-orange spots on the leaves. Badly spotted leaves fall prematurely, and defoliation can be heavy. Redcedars (Juniperus virginiana) are the alternate host. Crabapples are subject to several canker diseases. Prune out infected branches, avoid unnecessary wounding, and keep trees healthy. 15 Council Presentation February 10, 2020 16 ASPEN COMMONS Refined Conceptual Design Presentation –Aspen City Council February 10, 2020 Galena Plaza Reconsidered 17 January 22 Refined Conceptual Design Spring/ Summer Update to Construction Documents if Applicable March Schematic Design WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS?

SUMMARY: The City of Aspen Parking Department is looking for input on 3 different areas 1. Updated E zone direction 2. Immobilization of vehicles in the Aspen Downtown core. 3. Electric Vehicle Readiness City staff is requesting Council to review and provide direction on E zone updates and immobilization of vehicles in the downtown core. 1. UPDATE AND DIRECTION ON E ZONE PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On March 19, 2019 City Council approved the addition of a residential E zone that included Midland Ave, Park Ave, Park Circle, Riverside Ave and Dale Ave. The decision was to treat the zone consistently with the other zones with residents being able to acquire up to 4 permits and 1 guest pass. Council also requested the parking department to enforce the new zone with our current staff. Enforcement in the new E zone began on July 15, 2019. BACKGROUND: The E zone was approved by Council because this area was one of the last areas intown with FREE parking. We had seen a large increase in complaints coming from these streets. The complaints were mostly vehicles not moving every 72-hours. Enforcement in this area had been on a complaint basis only. The parking staff believes that the new E zone has been a success and achieved the intended results. The complaints have been minimal, people are playing by the rules and the tickets have been as expected. The majority of tickets written in the E zone were for Overtime parking in the zone. 44 Parking tickets issued 19 vs. 18 Street Tickets 19 Ticket 18 Midland Ave 35 26 Park Circle 25 8 Park Ave 9 5 Riverside Ave 3 1 Dale Ave 2 1 DISCUSSION:After enforcing the E zone for over six (6) months staff suggests the following: Add Race St. and Spruce St. to the E zone. The reason for this is because as we have added paid parking and enforcement on the five (5) streets around Race St and Spruce St. vehicles have moved to those streets to park and store their vehicles. This request has come directly from the residents on Race St. and Spruce St. The residents at Kathryns Way have requested residential passes and the staff believes this request should not be approved. The reason for this request to not be approved is because Katherine’s Way is not an enforced street, is a private road and does not have paid parking. This would also be consistent with how we handle private streets in the other four (4) residential parking zones. FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: None RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends adding Race St and Spruce St to the E zone. Staff also recommends that Kathryns Way residents not be approved for parking permits ALTERNATIVES: Council can approve Race St and Spruce St. as part of the E Zone or keep the area status quo. Council could agree to allow residents of Kathryns Way to get one guest permit to park in the E zone. ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A: Residential zone map 2. IMMOBILIZATION OF VEHICLES IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE BACKGROUND HISTORY: Currently the Parking Department uses a “boot” as our main device for immobilizing vehicles. We are using this device in the temporary unsecured tow lot to secure vehicles that have been towed for outstanding citations. In the past it has been city policy to not immobilize vehicles in the Downtown Core. DISCUSSION:We are requesting the use of an immobilization device for use in the Downtown Core. The reasons for making this request are: Tow truck is not available for approximately 50% of tows. Vehicle is parked in such a manner that makes towing impossible. Vehicle is parked in an area that it would be unsafe to tow. Vehicle has driven off on a Parking Officer one or more times. Vehicle value exceeds tow company insurance limit. 45 Criteria for immobilizing a vehicle in the Downtown Core: Vehicle has $500.00 or more in outstanding citations. Tow truck not immediately available Vehicle value exceeds tow company insurance limit. There are three possible immobilization alternatives that can be used when a tow truck is not available: Boot – An immobilization device that is securely attached to a vehicles wheel. The device is placed on the wheel and clamped down around the rim. Once the device is in place it is then secured with a pad lock. A notice of immobilization is placed on the driver’s side door to alert the vehicles driver that it has been immobilized. This device prevents the vehicle from being driven so that the outstanding fees can be collected. Once the outstanding fees have been collected a parking officer in dispatched to remove the device. Payment of outstanding citations and removal of the boot can only take place during normal business hours Monday thru Friday. BOOT Barnacle – This immobilization device is securely placed on a vehicle’s windshield. The parking officer places the device on the windshield, and it is held in place by two large suction cups. This device prevents the vehicle from being driven by obstructing the drives view out of the front window. The exterior of device is semi-customizable. The vinyl material can be printed with any type of image from snowflakes to mountains to trees. For release of the vehicle the driver can call the phone number listed on the device 24 hours a day, 7 day a week, and pay for the outstanding citations. Once the payment has been cleared, the driver is given a PIN number. This number is input on the device’s keypad. This releases the suction cups allowing the device to be removed from the windshield. The driver of 46 the vehicle can then return the device to the designated location within 72 hours. If the device is not returned further fines can be assessed. BARNACLE The Tire Tag – This is a driving deterrent device. The device is comprised of a non-marring coated chain and a coded lock. The device is placed on a vehicles wheel by locking it through a portion of the rim. A notice of immobilization is placed on the driver’s side door to alert the vehicles driver that it has been immobilized. This device does not prevent the vehicle from being driven but is used as a driving deterrent. If the vehicle is driven it will bring the tire out of balance by the added weight of the device causing a noticeable, non-damaging vibration that can be felt throughout the vehicle. For release of the vehicle the driver can call the phone number listed on the immobilization notice 24 hours a day, 7 day a week, and pay for the outstanding citations. Once the payment has been cleared, the driver is given a combination number. This number is input on the device’s lock. This unlocks the device so that it can easily be removed from the vehicles rim. The driver of the vehicle can then return the device to the designated location within 72 hours. If the device is not returned further fines can be assessed. 47 TIRE TAG FINANCIAL IMPACT: Increased parking ticket recovery rate. RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the Barnacle be used as the primary immobilization device for securing vehicles in Aspen’s Downtown Core. 3. ELECTRIC VEHICLE READINESS REQUEST OF COUNCIL: No direction requested at this time. This memo intends to update Council on Aspen’s progress in electric vehicle readiness. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2014, Aspen City Council established a Top Ten Best Year Yet Goal to examine clean fuel options. This led to a Clean Cities report, which recommended that Aspen should prepare for and incentivize electric vehicles as soon as possible. At a meeting on July 28, 2015, City Council gave direction to staff to create an electric vehicle (EV) readiness plan for the Aspen community. On January 17, 2017, Aspen City Council adopted the Aspen Community EV Readiness Plan, which is a plan written in collaboration between the Utilities, Parking Department, and Climate Action Office. In the past five years, the City of Aspen has supported EV readiness in the following ways: In December 2015, council approved the purchase of a DC Fast Charger to be installed at the Rio Grande Parking Garage. A DC Fast Charger is the fastest type of charging station, taking approximately 30-60 minutes to fully charge a near-empty EV. On August 1st, 2016 council approved that parking policies related to hybrids and EVs be changed. Until 2019, electric vehicles and hybrids can apply for permits to park for free in residential areas. Beginning in 2020 EVs will be eligible for free permits to park in residential areas (not in the downtown core) and hybrids will no longer be eligible for free parking permits. On September 12th, 2016, Council approved the addition of 2 all-electric Nissan Leaf’s to the City of Aspen fleet. 48 On January 17, 2017, Aspen City Council adopted the Aspen Community Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan. In 2017 the City of Aspen installed three new charging stations: a DC Fast Charger at 528 S Galena St and two dual-cord Level 2 charging stations at 208 S Spring St and the Parks Department, respectively. The Galena St charging station was partially funded through a Charge Ahead Colorado Grant from the Colorado Energy Office. In 2018 the City of Aspen installed two additional dual-cord Level 2 charging stations in the Rio Grande Parking Garage with the support of another Charge Ahead Colorado grant. In 2019 the City of Aspen installed a dual-cord Level 2 charging station at 208 E Main St. From 2017-2020 the City of Aspen sponsors a regional EV Sales Event, a collaboration with local car dealerships, NGOs, and other local governments to offer limited time discounts on electric vehicles and plug in hybrids. In 2019 this event resulted in the sales of 50 vehicles. DISCUSSION:2019 was an exciting year for electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Colorado and Aspen. Energy News Network reports that Colorado ranks fifth in the nation for EV sales, as defined by the percentage of new sales, according to the Alliance for Automobile Makers. Colorado is also utilizing $10.3 million of Volkswagen Settlement funds to install charging infrastructure across major state highways. Additionally, Colorado passed a Zero Emissions Vehicle rulemaking in 2019, which will drive greater availability of different EV models and customer choice across the state. In 2020, the Climate Action Office will continue to be involved in pro-EV state policy through engagement with Colorado Communities for Climate Action (CC4CA). Locally, City of Aspen staff continue to implement the Aspen Community EV Readiness Plan. Aspen’s public charging stations saw their highest use to date with nearly 3,000 charging sessions in 2019, all using 100% renewable energy from Aspen Electric. See Attachment B for an analysis of station use and a map of public charging locations. Due to increased demand for charging, the City of Aspen installed an additional dual cord Level 2 charging station in December 2019 at 1st and Main Street. In 2020, Climate Action Office staff will focus on two projects: creating a comprehensive strategic plan for future public charging station locations and installation across the City and supporting City departments interested in replacing their fleet vehicles with EVs.

Contact The Environmental Health and Sustainability Department: EH@cityofaspen.com 970-920-5039 53 MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Council FROM:Nancy Lesley, Director of Events Mitch Osur, Director of Parking MEMO DATE:Friday, January 31, 2020 MEETING DATE:Monday, February 10, 2020 RE:Special Event Single Use Parking Space Application/Permit REQUEST OF COUNCIL:Staff is seeking City Council’s feedback and direction for expanding the special event permitting process to include the ability to issue a special event parking space permit. This permit would apply to cases where staff is granting the use of a public parking space unrelated to a special event. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND: Prior to 2016, the Special Events Department Staff and the Parking Department Staff would review requests for single parking space rentals as they were received. These requests tended toward unique use (e.g. anniversary celebrations in front of stores with a tent). Staff was directed by Council in 2016 that parking space rentals should be for traditional use only (i.e. public parking). Since the 2016 Council decision, most requests that staff has fielded are mainly for sponsor vehicles which are denied per city ordinance: vending on public parks and rights of way prohibited. The Parking Department has believed that, without a Special Event Application or Permit, businesses should not be able to reserve parking spaces for these uses. Historically, the Special Events staff has felt that these types of requests do not require a Special Event Permit because the activities do not reach a threshold that would trigger the need for a Special Event Permit. They simply did not meet the criteria of a City of Aspen special event as defined per city ordinance, please see Attachment A. As a result the Special Events staff to date has declined all requests for reserved parking. DISCUSSION:In December of 2019, during the staff update to Council, the Special Events Department discussed the increase in calls from businesses requesting to rent parking places in front of their stores. At that time, Council directed staff to look at what a permit for these types of uses might look like and to develop guidelines and parameters for Council to review. Working closely with the Parking Department, staff developed the following list of considerations and parameters below. If Council would like to allow for this type of non-traditional use of parking spaces, then the Single Use Parking Space Application permit would be handled through the Special Events office. The parameters are as follows: 54 May 2020 – October 2020 Permit available during these months only A front door or window must be facing the parking space requested Each store is limited to one event per year, must have a current COA business license and must have been in business for at least 12 consecutive months This permit would not be available to restaurants Only one event per day, handled on a first come, first served basis No vending in the right of way No alcohol No couches Limited to (2) adjacent parking spaces only Permit would only allow for use during daylight hours One ten x ten tent would be allowed Outside displays must be a sampling of what is sold in stores Not available to sponsor or VIP vehicles The permit is non transferrable All applications are handled through the Special Events Department Application must be submitted a minimum of 10 business days before event Blackout dates: Food and Wine week, July 4th week, Farmers Market Saturdays, all official holidays FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Special Events Department would charge the normal application fee of $141 and the Parking Department would collect the normal Day Use fee of $100 per space for a total of $241 for a single space and $341 for two spaces. RECOMMENDATIONS: If City Council supports a Single Use Special Events Parking Use Permit, then staff recommends doing so on a trial basis, from May 2020 through October 2020 with the above guidelines and recommendations. ALTERNATIVES: Staff can continue to deny these types of parking space rental requests.
