AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION MEETING DATE: October 19,2021
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Affordable Housing Land Use Code Policies,Land Use
Master Plan Recommendations&Other Documents
Referencing Affordable Housing
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Cindy Houben,Community Development Director
Ellen Sassano, Senior Long Range Planner
ISSUE STATEMENT: The BOCC has requested a work session on the Land Use policies of the County
concerning affordable housing,primarily as they relate to location. This item is informational only.No action
is requested at this time.
BACKGROUND:
The following documents are attached(and link provided)as reference to Pitkin County policies and
plans and other related Plans and studies as they relate specifically to the topic of affordable housing:
• Land Use Code Policies (Attachment 1);
• Pitkin County Urban and Rural Master Plan Recommendations (Attachment 2);
• 2019 Greater Roaring Fork Regional Housing Study
(https://www.apcha.org/DocumentCenter/View/1197/Final-ReportGreater-Roaring-Fork-
Regional-Housing-Study20190417?bidld=)
• A 1998 Citizen Housing Plan adopted jointly by the Pitkin County&Aspen Planning and Zoning
Commissions as an interim guideline until such time as the 1993 AACP could be updated
(Attachment 3);
• A Housing Plan adopted in 2020 by Teton County and municipalities(attached as an example of
one approach to housing recently undertaken in a resort area with characteristics similar to those
in our area.) (Attachment 4)
The following paragraphs provide a quick summary of the County policies and master plan
recommendations as well as other Plan and Study recommendations found in greater detail in the above-
referenced attachments:
1. Housing Related Policies in the Land Use Code; (All policies are of equal importance, but the
following paragraphs identify a few key elements)
a. Encourage the development of affordable housing within established Urban Growth
Boundaries,where employment, services and facilities are typically already established.
b. Affordable housing of urban or suburban densities is not encouraged outside the Urban
Growth Boundaries if it promotes sprawl or other development inconsistent with this or
other policies or regulations of the County.Affordable housing outside Urban Growth
Boundaries may be acceptable if it is: (i)Employee Dwelling Units(EDU)and Caretaker
1
3
Dwelling Units(CDU); (ii)job related on-site housing; (iii)conversion of existing locally
serving housing; (iv)on-site required mitigation housing; or(v)replacement of existing
affordable housing.
c. Purchase and buy-down of existing units throughout the county is encouraged since it
promotes affordable housing goals without increasing growth rates or impacts.
d. Provide for dispersal of housing for low and moderate income families and low income
senior citizens throughout the residential areas of the Urban Growth Boundaries;
2. Pitkin County Master Plan Recommendations Related to Housing; (All Plan recommendations
are of equal importance, but the following paragraphs identify a few key Plan elements.)
a. 2013 West of Maroon Creek Plan (WOMP):
i. ABC—Preclude additional housing in the ABC;
ii. North 40 -Consider affordable housing on the vacant parcel adjacent to the
soccer field at North 40(subject to rezoning, etc.)
iii. Maintain the County-owned vacant 20 acre parcel adjacent to the Aspen Snow
Dump(purchased in part with FAA/Airport funds)as undeveloped. It is not
within the UGB, and should not be considered for inclusion within the UGB.
iv. Find funding for and create a transit shuttle in the WOMP corridor,connecting
Aspen to Burlingame, Truscott,ProBuild,the ABC and North 40 and
Colorado Mountain College.
b. 2012 Aspen Area Community Plan (AACP):
i. All Affordable housing must be located within the UGB;
ii. On-site housing mitigation is preferred;
iii. Design of new affordable housing should optimize density while demonstrating
compatibility with massing, scale and character of the neighborhood.
c. Overview of 2003 Rural Area Master Plans—Common Themes re Housing
i. Locate Future Urban Development Within Adopted Urban Growth Boundaries.
ii. Prohibit multi-family development in the(rural)planning areas, except for on-site
affordable housing.
iii. Dispersed affordable housing may be permitted only where densities are
consistent with the surrounding area and where this type of development is
containable.
i. no changes in zoning which increase density should be permitted;
ii. encourage landowners to deed restrict existing homes for affordable housing
and allow for deed restricted second dwellings on parcels where
appropriate;
iii. Study the concept of a voluntary,incentive-oriented Resident Occupancy
(RO)restriction,to include a County buy-down program to compensate
owners who deed restrict existing homes as RO.
3. 2019 Greater Roaring Fork Regional Housing Study:
a. This study covers the area from Aspen to Parachute. Several findings are made, including
a finding that while housing markets are meeting demand in Basalt and Carbondale,there
is a 2,000 unit shortfall in Glenwood and a 4,000 unit shortfall in the Aspen to Snowmass
area.

4. 1998 Aspen/Pitkin Citizen Housing Plan: This Plan,adopted jointly by the City of Aspen and
Pitkin County Planning&Zoning Commissions,was intended to be an update to the housing
element of the 1993 Aspen Area Community Plan to provide interim direction regarding housing
until such time as the 1993 AACP could be updated. The Plan objective was specifically to
"...establish affordable housing development criteria to be used in determining the most
appropriate location for affordable housing in the context of broader Community goals."
Recommendations within the Plan have since been incorporated in housing policies within the
Pitkin County Land Use Code and into updates to the Aspen Area Community Plan.
5. 2020 Jackson &Teton County Annual Housing Supply Plan; This collaborative Plan between
the Town of Jackson and Teton County Plan endeavors to provide a five-year project and
program portfolio that includes capital project partnerships and production and preservation
programs. The Plan's objective is, in part,to direct new housing to existing neighborhoods and
employment centers and preserve existing housing stock as"a key to meeting our three Common
Values: ecosystem stewardship,growth management, and quality of life."
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supports the Core Focus Area of a Flourishing Built and Natural
Environment;
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Land Use Code History;
2. Master Plan History;
3. Concepts for affordable housing today(Upzoning/buy down/rehab/incentivize/partnering with
municipalities).
BUDGETARY IMPACT: None, at this time.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: Staff understands that this work session will likely need to be
continued given the amount of information to discuss.

Attachment 1
Land Use Code Policies Related to Housing, as of September 2, 2021
1-60-370: CITIZEN HOUSING It is the policy of the County to encourage the existence of a supply of
desirable and affordable housing for persons employed in Pitkin County, senior citizens,the
handicapped, and other qualified persons of Pitkin County. Pitkin County seeks to preserve existing
affordable housing to the extent possible; and to encourage the development of affordable housing
within established Urban Growth Boundaries, where employment, services and facilities are typically
already established.
(a) It is the policy of Pitkin County to promote the availability of affordable housing for employees
generated by proposed development.
(b)A diversity of housing types and densities is encouraged in order to ensure affordable housing for a
range of individual and families. Deed restricted housing that ensures occupancy by full time residents is
preferred for development, especially within Urban Growth Boundaries.
(c)Affordable housing of urban or suburban densities is not encouraged outside the Urban Growth
Boundaries if it promotes sprawl or other development inconsistent with this or other policies or
regulations of the County.Affordable housing outside Urban Growth Boundaries may be acceptable if it
is: (i) Employee Dwelling Units (EDU) and Caretaker Dwelling Units (CDU); (ii)job related on-site housing;
(iii) conversion of existing locally serving housing; (iv) on-site required mitigation housing; or(v)
replacement of existing affordable housing.
(d) Quality residential areas, which function as integral neighborhood units, are encouraged.
(e) Rehabilitation of existing residential facilities should be promoted where feasible.The purchase and
buy-down of existing units throughout the county is encouraged since it promotes affordable housing
goals without increasing growth rates or impacts.
(f) Special attention should be directed to providing for dispersal of housing for low and moderate
income families and low income senior citizens throughout the residential areas of the Urban Growth
Boundaries with due consideration to other policies of the County and the availability of water and
sewer service,fire protection, public transportation, employment, shopping, schools, social services, and
recreational activities.
(g)The use of energy conservation and innovative home building techniques in order to reduce
construction and/or operating costs without sacrificing safety or desirability of the housing shall be
encouraged and supported. When appropriate,the revision or adoption of building codes will be
encouraged to meet this objective. For deed restricted housing projects, a preference will be given to
developers and contractors that utilize such techniques.
1-60-60: LAND USE PATTERNS It is the policy of the County that future urban development will be
located within adopted Urban Growth Boundaries in order to eliminate residential sprawl and strip
commercial development,to ensure the provision of adequate service levels,to preserve agriculture
1
6
and open space land uses, and to maximize the utility of funds invested in public facilities and services.
Lands outside the growth boundaries will be deemed most appropriate for the preservation of
agriculture, natural habitat, environmental resources, open space and rural residential uses.
1-60-70: RURAL DEVELOPMENT When proposing future development outside of Urban Growth
Boundaries,the following elements should be considered:
(a) Pitkin County seeks to preserve its natural, rural scenery and natural landmarks for the benefit of its
residents and the continued viability of its resort economy.
(b) Planned unit style development (PUD), designed to integrate siting in harmony with the environment
and consistent with land use policies, is encouraged. Such development tends to minimize the cost of
governmental and other services, maximize open space, preserve agricultural lands, and minimize
automobile congestion and hazardous conditions on public roads and highways.
(c) New development should be compatible with and not fundamentally change the character of any
neighborhood or area.
(d) Pitkin County does not generally support extensions of public utilities such as municipal water and
sewer lines outside of the Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs).
(g)To the extent possible, the County seeks to protect scenic corridors along highways, county
roadways and mountain road systems.

22 'PCotriirs WEST OF MAROON CREEK PLAN I Pitkin County,Colorado
Overview of 2003 Master Plans — Common Themes RE Housing:
• Locate Future Urban Development Within Adopted Urban Growth Boundaries.
• Prohibit multi-family development in the planning areas, except for on-site affordable
housing.
• Dispersed affordable housing may be permitted only where densities are consistent with
the surrounding area and where this type of development is containable.
o Several of the caucus and neighborhood plans reiterate this policy, including the
plans for Owl Creek, Brush Creek, and Maroon/Castle Creek.
o The Woody Creek Caucus Plan addresses this issue quite directly, stating that
employee housing will continue to be provided in scattered, low density housing
patterns and no changes in zoning which increase density should be permitted.
o Two of the adopted neighborhood plans identify alternative approaches to this
issue. The Crystal River Valley Plan envisions a new opportunity for dispersed
affordable housing, by encouraging landowners to deed restrict existing homes for
affordable housing and by allowing for deed restricted second dwellings on parcels
where appropriate. The Snowmass-Capitol Creek Valleys have suggested their
3
10
own housing approach, encouraging the County to study the concept of a voluntary,
incentive-oriented Resident Occupancy (RO) restriction, to include a County buy-
down program to compensate owners who deed restrict existing homes as RO.

IV.3. On-site housing mitigation is preferred.
IV.4. Track trends in housing inventory and job generation to better

INTRODUCTION Planning and providing for citizen housing in the Aspen area is
necessary to create a balanced community representative of the rn
various types of people that live, work and retire in the area. This
interim plan is intended to serve as a framework and guide to local m
officials, staff members and private property owner/developers in the
identification, purchase and development of citizen housing sites.
To this end, part one of the interim plan establishes a set of Citizen
Housing Philosophies and Criteria to assist in the evaluation of
potential citizen housing sites. Three Philosophies and Criteria have
been identified as the most important for the future acquisition and
development of citizen housing: (1) location within an identified metro
area; (2) proximity to available public mass transit; and (3) containable
development. The remaining Philosophies and Criteria are identified
by the letters A through K in no particular order of significance, but are
to be considered along with the three priority Philosophies and
Criteria.
Part two of the interim plan, which will be enacted at a later date, will
consider a variety of potential citizen housing sites in light of the
Citizen Housing Philosophies and Criteria. The AACP set forth a goal
of creating and preserving a certain number of citizen housing units by
the year 2015. The progress with respect to that goal is presently
ascertainable, so a plan that identifies sites that will allow the
production of those units by the year 2015 is appropriate now.
PURPOSE The purpose of the interim plan is to address citizen housing needs
and opportunities, particularly in the context of sound land use
planning and planned and available public transportation. This interim
plan will be used to evaluate citizen housing opportunities and site-
specific proposals while the Down Valley Comprehensive Plan
("DVCP"), the Aspen Area Community Plan ("AACP") and the Woody
Creek Master Plan are being amended, updated and adopted.
The purpose of the interim plan is to establish Philosophies and
Criteria to evaluate potential citizen housing development sites and
actual development proposals. The intention is not to preclude the
development of citizen housing outside of the metro areas if it is
appropriate considering all of the Philosophies and Criteria.
AFFECTED AREAS The interim plan addresses the Aspen metro area from a citizen
housing and transportation perspective only.
APPLICABILITY The interim plan is applicable to all site-specific applications that are
pending at the time of final adoption of the plan and all applications
filed thereafter. The interim plan is intended as a complement to and a
tool to be used along with the other adopted plans. Consistency with
other applicable plans should be considered along with this interim
plan.

INTERIM ASPEN AREA CITIZEN HOUSING DEFINITIONS
PLAN: PART I
DEFINITIONS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING Affordable housing is a household paying less than 18-28% of its
gross annual income for monthly housing costs. For owner occupied
housing costs, the percentage would include, by month, mortgage
payments, taxes, insurance and utilities. The purchase price of the
home would also not exceed 2.7 times the household's gross annual
income. For renter occupied housing costs, this percentage would
include monthly contract rent and utilities.
CARRYING CAPACITY Carrying capacity is a term borrowed from ecology that represents
the upper limit of population growth that can be achieved in a
particular area when individuals are introduced into that area.
Carrying capacity is used in determining the potential of an area to
absorb development. Specifically, the term includes, but is not
limited to: (1) the level of land use, human activity, or development
for a specific area that can be accommodated permanently without
an irreversible change in the quality of air, water, land or plant and
animal habitats; (2) the upper limits of development beyond which
the quality of human life, health, welfare, safety, or community
character within an area will be impaired; (3) the maximum level of
MM.>8 development allowable under current zoning considering the carrying
-y 31. capacity of the land from a physical and character based
o perspective.
c)
�a

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE A fundamental change in character means that the citizen housing
IN CHARACTER development proposed is likely to result in a change in the character
of an area so fundamental that its classification as rural, suburban or
urban will change. For example, a citizen housing project that
transforms an area from rural to suburban, rural to urban or
suburban to urban classification, would result in a fundamental
change in character of the area.
INFRASTRUCTURE Infrastructure means public facilities and urban services, such as
sewage-disposal systems, water-supply systems, other utility
systems and roads.

publicly-owned community parks, arterial and collector road facilities,
police protection, emergency services, health services, recreation
facilities and services, schools; and publicly and privately-owned
potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, stormwater management,
and mass transit facilities that provide services to the public.
RURAL Rural means country-like or agricultural. Rural areas are generally
characterized by lower density residential development and
agricultural uses.

CITIZEN HOUSING
Existing Plans
AACP The AACP established an upper limit to the desired population of the
Aspen Metro Area of 30,000 people by the year 2015. (The 30,000
person cap included full-time residents, second home owners and
tourists at peak season around Christmas-time.)
The AACP also established the community goal of housing 60% of
the working residents upvalley of Aspen Village by the year 2015.
The AACP further stated that the majority of future residential and
commercial growth should be community oriented with the residential
sector being made up of a mixture of economic levels. In order to
reach the 60% goal, the AACP recommended four primary actions:
• The AACP identified a housing shortfall that called for the
creation of approximately 450 new deed restricted employee
housing units within the Aspen Metro Area and 200 units
outside of the metro area upvalley of Aspen Village;
• The AACP called for 750 units of free market housing currently
occupied by working residents to be preserved within the Aspen
Metro Area;
• The AACP identified the need for 200 occupied ADUs in the
City of Aspen; and
• The AACP proscribed mitigation for commercial, lodge and
residential growth to keep in step with the 60% goal.
Aspen and Pitkin County are currently updating the AACP.
Basalt Three The two main purposes of the Basalt Three Mile Plan were: (1) to
Mile Plan provide guidance in the Town's consideration of future growth and
development and establishment of Urban Growth Boundaries; and
(2) to help coordinate the actions of Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield
Counties regarding growth and development in the three-mile area.
The four underlying concepts used in creating the plan included:
creation and conservation of sense of community; social, economic
and environmental sustainability; livability of the community and
quality of life for residents; and quality in man made and natural
environments. The Plan recommends policies that establish that
55% of the housing created will be attainable by a median income
family spending no more than 35% of their income for housing.
Basalt is currently updating its Master Plan.

DVCP The DVCP did not formally address the provision of citizen housing.
Rather, the DVCP's primary philosophy was land preservation
oriented and one of its main goals was "[t]o identify the highest
priority land for preservation and suggest preservation strategies
while recommending the most suitable locations for development."
The "employee housing" section of the DVCP states only Pitkin
County's general policy of encouraging such housing closer to
Aspen. The DVCP's explanation for that policy is the transportation
8 problem created by having employees commute to work in Aspen
_.- from down valley. The DVCP also suggested that Pitkin County
�6 revisit citizen housing preferences because some down valley sites

Existing Conditions
GENERAL There is a general perception that the population composition of the
area is changing. It is also perceived that along with this
composition shift that there has been an increase in the level of
services demanded. The demand for a higher level of service is not
necessarily linked with any physical growth in the commercial or
residential sectors other than the addition of employees.
Consequently, some of the employees generated in connection with
the demand for a higher level of service may be unmitigated.
The data is not complete regarding the existing housing and
employee conditions.. For example, information is available
regarding the number of jobs in Pitkin County as a whole, but a
breakdown for each of the employment centers (i.e., Aspen, Basalt
and Snowmass) has not been compiled. Various groups are

currently conducting studies that may provide the data and statistical
information that is currently lacking. This interim plan will likely need
to be revisited once complete information regarding existing
conditions is available.
PROGRESS The existing conditions backed by sufficient data as of June 1998 are
as follows:
• The 1996 population of Pitkin County was approximately 14,119
persons.
• In 1996, 14,929 wage-paying jobs in Pitkin County were
reported. In 1995, approximately 4,000 proprietor jobs in Pitkin
County were reported.
• Since 1990 through 1996, the job growth rate in Pitkin County
has been approximately 17.1%.
• Much of the job growth rate is believed to be unrelated to actual
physical growth in the commercial or residential sectors.
• Since 1993, the Aspen Metro Area (includes some County
projects) has seen the production of 152 new units. Additionally,
40 units have been approved, but not built, and 86 potential
units are in the review process. No new deed restricted
employee units have been created in the non-metro area.
✓ Total New Unit Shortfall (considering only built units):
498 units, 298 Metro and 200 Non-Metro.
✓ Total New Unit Shortfall (counting all units approved
and projects still in the review process): 372 units,
172 Metro and 200 Non-Metro.
• Outside the metro area, 150 units have been preserved at
Aspen Village and another 50 units may be preserved at the
Woody Creek Trailer Park. If the 100 units at Lazy Glen are
also considered, a total of 300 units have been preserved in the
non-metro area. The City of Aspen has or will preserve 6 units.
✓ Total Preservation Unit Shortfall (including Lazy Glen):
444 units.
• 50 ADUs have been constructed in the City and 50 EDUs more
have been created in the County for a total of 100 ADUs/EDUs.
Note that the actual available stock of this type of housing may
be slightly higher because County caretaker units are not
included in these numbers. A problem in the occupancy rates in
the City (somewhere below 30%) has been identified. The units
in the County are occupied in excess of 80% of the time.

• The two most significant projects identified by the Housing
Office in terms of judging whether mitigation has been
successful are the Moore and Highlands projects. The Moore
PUD fell short of the 60% goal by 13 units. If the dormitory units
of the Highlands PUD are considered real employee housing,
then Highlands probably did meet the 60% goal. It should also
be noted, however, that while the Highlands project includes a
large number of luxury free-market homes, 20 of those homes
were approved contingent upon the use of TDRs which will
result in the preservation of 20 former potential development
sites in the backcountry.
✓ Total Mitigation Shortfall: 13 Units.
• While the Moore and Highlands projects may have fallen short
of the 60% mitigation goal, more significant is the development
and re-development that is occurring in Aspen and Pitkin
County with no employee mitigation at all. For example, older
homes that are torn down and replaced with newer, often larger,
homes with no mitigation required.

housing within the context of available and planned mass transit, but
it does recognize that the creation of citizen housing may implicate
other infrastructure issues (e.g., schools, water, emergency rescue). •
These other potential infrastructure issues, along with transportation,

Aspen while protecting the character of the various areas of the
unincorporated Pitkin County, making efficient use of public services,
de-emphasizing automobile transit, and preventing development
sprawl.
To examine the appropriateness and desirability of the AACP's goal of
providing citizen housing for 60% of the Pitkin County workforce
upvalley of Aspen Village by the year 2015.
To update the data and methodology behind the 60% goal of the
AACP (or provide updated data and appropriate methodology for
whatever new goal may be established).

INTERIM ASPEN AREA CITIZEN HOUSING GOALS AND POLICIES
PLAN: PARTI
POLICIES
Citizen Housing The following Philosophies and Criteria shall be used to evaluate all
Location citizen housing sites and site-specific development plans. Each of
Philosophies these Philosophies and Criteria shall be considered in the broader
And Criteria contexts of the AACP, the Basalt 3 Mile Plan and the DVCP. Three
priorities have been established for the location of citizen housing sites
and they are identified as Philosophy/Criteria 1-3. The remaining
Philosophies and Criteria are identified by the letters A through K and
should be considered as well, but they are identified with no particular,
order of significance.
PRIORITY NO. l:
METRO AREA LOCATION
PHILOSOPHY/CRPTERIA 1 Philosophy 1: Development of citizen housing is preferred within the
metro areas and employment centers of Aspen, Basalt and
Snowmass. Working (or retired) Aspen citizens should have an
opportunity to live close to where they work (or worked). Further,
citizen housing located outside of metro areas may result in an
undesirable pattern of growth that negatively impacts the Aspen area
and may further compound the perception that locals do not live in our
metro areas anymore. Aspen, Basalt and Snowmass are all significant
employment centers and, with the exception of schools which are
over-capacity, these urban cores have the public facilities and urban
services necessary to serve any additional development.
Criteria 1: Is the site or proposed development within an existing
metro area and employment center (Aspen, Basalt or Snowmass)? If
the site is outside of a metro area, consider whether there is
documentation or other credible evidence to support a present, urgent
need for citizen housing that can not realistically be fulfilled in the
metro areas? In considering whether there is a present, urgent need,
the goal of the AACP to house 60% of the workforce upvalley of Aspen
Village shall be considered as shall the probability that such goal can
be accomplished by the year 2015.

PLAN: PART I
PRIORITY NO.2:
PROXIMITY TO AVAILABLE
PUBLIC MASS TRANSIT
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA 2 Philosophy 2: Citizen housing, particularly higher density citizen
housing, should be located adjacent to available public mass transit.
Because the issue of whether, when and where a train will be built is
unresolved, it would be premature to premise the approval of any site-
specific development plans solely on the ultimate construction of the
train (i.e., other interim public mass transportation should be
available).
Criteria 2: Is the site or proposed development adjacent to available
public mass transit? If such transit is not currently available and is still
proposed, then consider:
1. Is the provision of public mass transit realistic and
desirable?
2. Who will pay the cost to make the transit available?
3. When will the transit be available?
4. What impact will the provision of public transit in this location
have on:
a. The character of the surrounding neighborhood?
b. The safety of the public?
c. The public treasury?
d. The level of service and capacity of roads servicing
the location (before and after development)?
e. The environment?
f. The visual experience from the public viewplanes and
neighboring properties?
5. If there are significant negative impacts found in subsection
(4) above, consider whether a non-development or minimal
development is preferable to one that would require mass
transit. Also, consider whether the negative impacts are
outweighed by the advancement of citizen housing goals.
PRIORITY NO.3:
CONTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA 3 Philosophy 3: Citizen housing should only be permitted where such
development is containable and will not promote additional
development or sprawl.
Criteria 3: Is the site or proposed development plan containable in
the sense that it will not tend to promote sprawl and that the
development can be confined (or held) within its area?

OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA A Philosophy A: The availability of public facilities and urban services
is critical to the provision of desirable citizen housing, however the
provision of those services may not be desirable in some instances.
Where public facilities and urban services are not fully available
concurrent with proposed citizen housing, issues regarding the fiscal
impact of providing such services arise. Further, even where the
developer proposes to pay the entire cost for the provision of public
facilities and urban services, where such facilities and services are
proposed outside of the metro areas significant land use issues may
be implicated. For example, the provision of public facilities and urban
services outside of metro areas may fundamentally change the
character of the area and contribute to undesirable sprawl
development which has social, financial and environmental
consequences that should be avoided.
Criteria A: Are all necessary public facilities and urban services
available concurrently with the development of the site or phasing of
the proposed development? If there is not full public facility and urban
service concurrency at the time of the consideration of the site or
proposed development, or the developer proposes to provide such
services in a non-metro area, then consider:
1. Is the provision of public facilities and urban facilities realistic
in this location?
2. Is the provision of public facilities and urban services
desirable for the proposed location?
3. Will the introduction of public facilities and urban services
result in a dramatic change to the community character of
the area and/or a fundamental change in the type of
historical use of the property? If the proposed location is
rural in character, consider whether public facilities and
urban services are appropriate in that particular rural area.
4. Who will pay the cost to make these services and facilities
available?
5. How would the provision of public facilities and urban
services in this particular location impact:
a. The character of the surrounding neighborhood?
b. The safety of the public?
c. The public treasury?
d. The level of service and capacity of roads servicing
the location (before and after development)?
e. The environment?
f. The visual experience from the public viewplanes and
neighboring properties?

pattern?
7. If phasing along with increases in services and facilities is
proposed, will these services and facilities really be available
concurrently with the completion of each phase of the
development (i.e., when the occupants really need it)?
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA B Philosophy B: While the provision of citizen housing is important, it is
equally important that we preserve the character of our community and
natural environment. Citizen housing should not be developed where
such development will result in fundamental incompatibilities or
fundamental changes in the character of any neighborhood or area.
Particularly where rural lands located outside of the metro areas are
implicated, careful consideration should be given to the issue of
whether citizen housing development will likely transform the character
of the area from rural to suburban or rural to urban.
Criteria B: Will the development of the site with citizen housing be
compatible with the neighborhood or area in which it is proposed?

Criteria D: Is the site or proposed development plan visually
compatible with its surrounding environment (built and unbuilt) as seen
from the public and adjacent private viewplanes?
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA E Philosophy E: The under-development of certain citizen housing
sites is undesirable. Considering the carrying capacity of the land,
citizen housing sites should attempt to optimize the density of the site
to produce the greatest number and variety of needed citizen housing
types.
Criteria E: Does the site or proposed development plan optimize the
site's potential density, considering the maximum density appropriate
from a carrying capacity perspective (including transportation).
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA F Philosophy F: While achieving the optimal number of citizen housing
units considering the carrying capacity of a given site is important, it is
also vital that the proposed density and housing types be the type of
units identified by the City of Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Office in
their affordable housing guidelines and definitions and any applicable
local housing policies. (For example, 100 dormitory or 100 resident-
occupied units may not be as desirable as a mixture of category
types.)
Criteria F: Do the proposed density and housing types proposed
significantly contribute to the overall Aspen/Pitkin County and regional
housing goals and needs as identified by the City of Aspen/Pitkin
County Housing Office, and/or any subsequently created regional
housing authority, and/or applicable local housing policies?

PLAN: PARTI
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA G Philosophy G: The opportunity for a high quality of life in any citizen
housing development is a critical component in attracting employees
(and retirees) to live in such housing. Ownership housing represents a
more desired type of housing and chance for a higher quality of life for
both the residents and their neighbors. The placement of citizen
housing within a neighborhood and also within a larger project should
preferably be dispersed among free market units and other housing
types. Infill development is highly desired.
Criteria G: Does the site or the proposed development plan provide
an opportunity for a high quality of life — both for those living in the
housing, as well as their neighbors? The type of housing in terms of
ownership versus rental units shall be considered in terms of the
quality of life as shall the mix of housing (in terms of category type and
integration/dispersal among free market units or other housing types).
PHILOSOPHY/CRITERIA H Philosophy H: Citizen housing should be of good quality design and
construction, structurally sound and energy efficient. Quality design
and construction are important in terms of preserving the character of
the Aspen area and also in terms of providing a lasting, high quality of
life for the residents of citizen housing.
Criteria H: Does the site present an opportunity for good quality
design and construction? Where a specific development plan is being
considered, are good quality design and construction proposed? What
will the operating costs of the unit be (e.g., heating bills, etc.)?
Consider the likely economic life of the units proposed and weigh it
against the public subsidy for those units.
PHILOSOPHY/CRTTERIAI Philosophy I: The design of citizen housing should utilize and
conserve the natural scenic features of the site. Site design should
conserve valuable and scenic natural features, and social
opportunities, based on site characteristics, should be promoted and
utilized.

INTERIM ASPEN AREA CITIZEN HOUSING GOALS AND POLICIES
PLAN: PART1
♦ ♦
Pxn.OSOPAY/CRITERIA J Philosophy J: The development of citizen housing usually results in a
neutral or negative fiscal impact. However, the fiscal impact should
nonetheless be considered, particularly to the extent that such impact
varies by the type and location of the citizen housing developed. In
some instances where the negative fiscal impact of the development
of a particular site with citizen housing significantly exceeds the impact
of development of other citizen housing sites, consideration should be
given regarding the appropriateness of development in that instance.
Criteria J: What will the fiscal impact of the development of the site or
proposed development be? How does the fiscal impact of this
particular site or proposed development compare to other citizen
housing sites? If the proposed site has a negative fiscal impact that
significantly exceeds the fiscal impact of developing other citizen
housing sites, consider whether development is justified.
Pxmoso HY/cRrrERIA K Philosophy K: Citizen housing sites should be consistent with the
AACP, the DVCP and the Basalt Three Mile Plan, and any plans that
supercede or supplement these documents. Citizen housing sites
should also be consistent with any intergovernmental agreements
among Aspen, Basalt, Pitkin County or Snowmass.
Criteria K: Is the site consistent with the AACP, the DVCP and the
Basalt Three Mile Plan, and any plans that supercede or supplement
these documents? Is the site consistent with all adopted
intergovernmental agreements?
Employment In reviewing every development application, for commercial and/or
Generation residential uses, the effect of the proposed use on the generation of
Considerations employees shall be considered. The type of person the use is
intended to attract and the likelihood that the proposed use will attract
persons who require a high level of service shall also be considered.
Employers of a significant number of employees who seek
development review approvals shall be required to provide housing for
substantially all of their generated employees near the proposed
development. (Examples would be the Aspen Skiing Company and
the former Ritz.)

Community Indicators: Intake Form Data + Pipeline
Intake Form
To apply for housing through the Housing Department, households are required to complete an Intake
Form and to keep the form updated annually.This form was created in collaboration with Teton Habitat,
Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust, Housing Department, and Joint Long-Range Planning staff and
has been in use for two years. A detailed snapshot of active Intake Forms is provided as Appendix A.This
will be updated and released mid-year.
As of January 3, 2020: 1,190 households
representing 2,586
• 1,190 households have active Intake Forms people
• Adults in these households work an average of 1.21 jobs
• 2/3 of all households are one or two people Adults work an MEW

In 2019 we gained 62 deed restricted units. Four of these units were
conversions from market housing. All of these were rentals and only four of these
served households earning<80% MFI.
We lost 20 restrictions because they sunset. We were able to purchase a Workforce Ownership
restriction on another unit with a restriction that sunset. Nine deed restricted homes will sunset this
year.The sunset program is a legacy program that has been inactive for decades.The homes that are
now sunsetting are ones in which the owners have lived for 20-30 years, depending on the restriction.
The current pipeline has over 275 deed restricted units in some stage of development. Of these,we
anticipate 73 units coming online this year and 125 units coming online next year.A detailed snapshot of
the current pipeline is provided as Appendix B.This will be updated and released mid-year.

Community Indicators: Goals, Metrics, Data
Based on current demand and pipeline data,the biggest needs are for one and two-bedroom Affordable
Rentals serving households earning<80% MFI and two and three-bedroom Affordable and Workforce
Ownership homes serving households earning 80-120% MFI. Staff has identified these two housing types
as primary foci for the next few capital projects and programs.
Additionally,with the development of several deed restricted apartment complexes over the past few
years, staff has developed an apartment annual report that must be submitted annually for The Grove
Phase I, Redmond Street Rentals, Hidden Hollow, and Sagebrush Apartments (once complete).These
annual reports, along with annual compliance information that is being submitted on existing restricted
rentals, and Intake Form information, provide a fertile data set that can help us better understand who
is living in restricted rental units, where they are employed, how much they earn,the rents being
charged,the current demand for housing, and other potential threats to quality of life. Additional staff
capacity will need to be created to analyze this data.
Summary
Housing prices continue to rise at a faster rate than wages, exacerbating a market that is already out of
reach for most working individuals and families. In 2019 we saw the addition of 62 new deed restricted
units and anticipate approximately 200 more new deed restricted units to come online in the next two
years.This is considerable momentum that should be celebrated and leveraged to continue creating
workforce housing in the face of ever-present challenges.
Over the next several years, we will continue to rely on the private sector to build housing through new
zoning incentive tools in the Town and updated mitigation requirements, both put in place in July 2018.
We have seen initial success with housing being generated by both.
We will also continue to rely on public involvement as the demand for low-income rentals persists and is
a clear space in which government should participate given the market's inability to do so.The demand
for middle-income ownership housing also remains and is another gap the market is not filling.
As has been noted elsewhere,the need for private sector and public sector participation is critical.
Working together,we will have the best opportunity to meet our community's housing goals.

3. Funding for Housing / Proposed Housing Supply Program Budget
The Growth Management Plan ("GMP") public outreach process confirmed that housing remains the
public's top priority.The GMP also identified securing a permanent funding source for housing,
transportation, and open space as the public's second priority.The GMP states that increased action and
investment is needed for housing progress and that more resources should be allocated for housing
supply. Both the Comprehensive Plan and Housing Action Plan call for a dedicated funding source for
housing which has not been achieved.
Today, the Housing Supply Program is funded by three primary sources:Town, County, and mitigation
fees-in-lieu. In 2019 a Specific Purpose Excise Tax ("SPET") ballot initiative for housing was passed by the
voters and allocates$5,500,000 towards housing supply. Staff anticipates receiving$500,000 in SPET
funds in FY 21; $2,000,000 in late 2022; and $3,000,000 in mid-to-late 2023.
For FY 20/21, housing staff requests$1,000,000 from the Town General Fund and $1,000,000 from the
County General Fund for the Housing Supply Program.These funds will be used to fund the proposed
Housing Supply Project and Program Portfolio.The mitigation fees identified for FY 20/21 are estimates
that are provided by the planning departments.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2021 Work Session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Continued Review of Proposed Short Term Rental Licensing
Regulation
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: John M. Ely, County Attorney
DISCUSSION AT PREVIOUS WORK SESSIONS JUNE 22, and JULY 27, 2021: The
contents of the original AIS's from previous work sessions are reproduced below as a refresher of
the issues discussed. All changes to the regulation discussed at the previous meetings have been
inserted in the attached proposed regulation as red lined changes.
During the previous two work sessions, the BOCC confirmed its direction to continue with the
proposed licensing regulation. The BOCC also determined that it would consider some additional
changes to limit availability of licenses with the establishment of the initial regulatory framework.
The following issues were continued for Board discussion at this work session:
1. What position within the County would assume duties of licensing authority;
2. The maximum number of renters that are allowed to stay in the rental property at one time and
whether to relate that number to the number of bed rooms,bathrooms or other property conditions,
or whether to have a fixed maximum number for all properties
3. Two possible exclusions from licensing,
A. properties in the rural and remote zone district, and
B. properties not being the permanent legal address of a local citizen.
The Board settled on an effective date for the regulation of sometime in November of 2021 but an
exact date was not directed.
The original list of potential future considerations had included:
1. Whether to limit rentals to properties that are used as a primary residence of the owner;
2.Whether to limit the number of days that may be rented in any year as a means of focusing rental
activity on property that is someone's primary residence;
3. Whether to limit rental activity seasonally as a means to reduce neighborhood impacts;
4. Whether to increase physical inspection of the residences;
5. Whether to restrict the density of licensed rental properties in a given area;
6. Whether to establish exclusion zones where rental activity cannot occur.
7. The level of enforcement expected from staff.

ATTACHMENT A
PREVIOUS MEMO;
ISSUE STATEMENT: In 2020,the Colorado Legislature adopted an amendment to the County
General Police Powers Statute and delegated to counties the ability to license and regulate lodge
units rented for short-term stays. Attached to this AIS is a proposed draft of a licensing regulation
for short-term rental of residential properties. Pursuant to Board direction,the proposed regulation
does not limit who may apply for a license or what properties may be licensed for short-term rental.
Following the work session, a final draft reflecting the changes discussed by the Board will be
produced as an ordinance. The proposed ordinance will be scheduled for review and possible
adoption through a two reading and public hearing process as prescribed by the Home Rule
Charter. The ordinance will amend the Pitkin County Code to include these regulations as a section
within Title 6—Health and Safety, unless otherwise directed.
Future work sessions can be scheduled to discuss whether it is appropriate to limit the issuance of
licenses and under what metrics those limitations should be crafted.
BACKGROUND: The Bill, adopted and signed into law, is brief and is reproduced here:
"[T]he board of county commissioners may adopt ordinances for control or licensing of those
matters of purely local concern that are described in the following enumerated powers:
(s) (I) To LICENSE AND REGULATE AN OWNER OR OWNER'S AGENT
WHO RENTS OR ADVERTISES THE OWNER'S LODGING UNIT FOR A SHORT-TERM
STAY, AND TO FIX THE FEES, TERMS, AND MANNER FOR ISSUING AND
REVOKING LICENSES ISSUED THEREFOR. AS USED IN THIS SUBSECTION
(1)(s)(I), "OWNER'S AGENT" DOES NOT INCLUDE AN INTERNET HOSPITALITY
SERVICE.
(II) THE LICENSING OR REGULATION UNDER THE AUTHORITY
CONFERRED IN SUBSECTION (1)(s)(I) OF THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT
WHETHER A LODGING UNIT IS A RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENT, AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 39-1-102 (14.3)."
There is no definition section accompanying the Act. However,referring to other taxation statutes
"short-term stay"can effectively be interpreted as less than 30 days. Likewise, "lodging unit"can
be interpreted as all or part of a residential structure or a structure accessory to a residence.
The Act is careful not to implicate a change in property tax classification for licensed properties.
For example, the issuance of a license or permit pursuant to regulations adopted under this Act
will mean that property classified residential will not be reclassified as commercial or any other
classification. Any potential reclassification is left to standards already in the law.
The import of the Act is that counties now have the authority to license and regulate residential
properties that are rented for terms of less than 30 days. Licensing and regulatory authority is
broader than the authority conferred to counties through the planning and zoning statutes in that
85
ATTACHMENT A
there is no vested right and no previously established use exceptions such are found in the planning
and land use statutes.
The principal imperative of the law's enactment was financial. The original proponents of the law
sought to confer to counties, through this delegation, an easier path to collect sales tax. The
problem they sought to address was the failure of individual homeowners who rented their
properties for short periods to pay the required amount of sales tax. This created an inequity
between people renting their residences and owners of bed and breakfasts, lodges, hotels and
motels.
Pitkin and other county governments lobbied that the law include the ability to regulate as well as
license. Implicit in the power to regulate is the power to conditionally approve or to deny a request
for a license and to control the activity associated with short-term rentals.
The now codified statutory amendment allows the Board to regulate aspects of licensing and rental
activity. Such aspects may include establishing neighborhood exclusions of short-term rentals,
limiting the density of licensed properties, limiting the number of nights rented, limiting the
seasonality of rental activity, as well as other life safety matters such as the condition of rented
structures and notifications and assistance to be provided to renters, guests or neighbors.
The attached proposed regulation was produced to focus on only the registration and licensing
process to promote equalizing the tax burden and facilitate tax collection. The regulation can be
expanded beyond this parameter to include items as those mentioned above or other appropriate
measures that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review and discuss the proposed regulation and direct any appropriate changes be brought forward
in the form of an Ordinance for first reading.
