HomeMy WebLinkAboutbocc.ord.023.2012 ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMIVIISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO,AMENDING TITLE 8 OF THE PITHIN COUNTY CODE,SPECIFICALLY
THE 2006 LAND USE CODE FOR LAND USE CODE TEXT AMENDMENTS
Ordinance No.�-2012
RECITALS
1. Land Use Code amendments have been proposed to the B-2 zone district.
Amendments will be made to the following Chapters and Sections:
• EXHIBIT A— Chapter 4, Section 4-30-40(r): Personal Service Outlet
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed code amendments at a regularly
scheduled meeting on July 17`h, 2012. The Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval to the
BOCC.
3. The BOCC reviewed the proposed Code Amendment at lst Reading and regularly scheduled
public meeting on September 12'h, 2012 and at 2°d Reading and duly noticed public hearing and
regularly scheduled public meeting on September 26`h, 2012.
4. The BOCC finds that the proposed amendment for a larger grocery store is mare appropriate
within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) where infrastructure and services are located rather
than the Rural Area of Pitkin County that generally do not contain this infrastructure and services.
This topic is supported within the 1987 Downvalley Comprehensive Plan and 2012 Aspen Area
Community Plan(AACP)as stated below.
5. The BOCC further finds that specifically, Chapter 3, Section (A)(1) — Goals of the 1987
Downvalley Comprehensive Plan identifies the need to "maintain a development pattern which
preserves the rural character and high quality environment which makes the Down Valley Area a
Desirable Place to live and work". This goal of the Plan suggests that a larger grocery store is not
appropriate in the rural area and is more appropriately located within an urban area.
6. The BOCC further finds that the "Managing Growth For Community and Economic
Sustainability" section of the 2012 AACP supports the notion that denser, more intense
development is appropriately located within the UGB. This goal of the Plan suggests that a larger
grocery store is not appropriate in the rural area and is more appropriately located within an urban
area.
7. The BOCC finds that these Code Amendments are consistent with Pitkin County's goals and
policies. Specifically policy 1-60-60: Land Use Patterns references that more urban development
be located within the UGB in order to eliminate sprawl and to ensure the provision of adequate
service levels. This policy supports the idea that a larger grocery store be located within the
UGB.
8. The BOCC further finds that the amendments to the Code are in compliance with Section 2-40-10
of the Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners that it hereby amends the above-referenced Section of the 2006 Pitkin County Land Use
Code, as set forth in E�ibit A.
