Miklich, Recorder (Re: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PITKIN COUNTY RESOLUTION NUMBER 74-16 Zoning Resolution and Map Amendments) WHEREAS, the Pitkin County Commissioners initiated proposed amendments to the Pitkin County Zoning Maps and the Pitkin County Zoning Resolution on November 5, 1973 and referred such proposed amendments to the Pitkin County Planning Commission for their review and comment, and WHEREAS, the Pitkin County Commission reviewed the proposed amendments on November 5, 1973 and certified their comments and recommendations with respect thereto to the Board of County Commissioners, and WHEREAS, after public notice given pursuant to law, the Pitkin County Commissioners held a public hearing to consider comments on such proposed amendments on January 29, 1974 at 9:00 a.m. in the District Courtroom of the County Courthouse, and WHEREAS, after consideration of the recommendations, testimony, comments and exhibits resulting from such public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners determined that certain changes should be made to the proposed amendments to the zoning maps and the zoning resolution, and re-submitted such revised proposed amendments to the Planning Commission for comment on the 20th day of March, 1974, which recommended adoption of the amendments, and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has reviewed all of the evidence, testimony and exhibits submitted at the public hearing, as well as the comments and recormmend- ations of'the Pitkin County Planning Commission, together with the various studies and land-use p~ans, and it has reached the follov~ing conclusions or findings: 1. The Pitkin County Zoning Resolution and Maps were originally adopted in 1955. The Master Plan for a portion of Pitkin County, adopted pursuant to C.R.S. 1963, Section 106-2-5, et seq., entitled The Aspen Area General Plan Final Report 1966, was adopted on June 6, 1966. Not- withstanding the recommendations contained therein, the Master Plan has never been implemented through the zoning resolution and the county has never been rezoned in accordance with those recommendations. That subsequent to the adoption of the Master Plan, certain events have occurred, such as the lack of construction of the Little Annie Ski Basin, which make some of the recommendations of the original Master Plan inappropriate at the present time. That as a result of certain of these changes in conditions, the Master Plan has been amended with respect to the recommendations for the areas of the Roaring Fork Valley to the immediate east of the town of Aspen and to the northwest of the town of Aspen extending to the Pitkin County Airport and such amendments to the Plan were adopted by the Pitkin County Planning Com- mission and certified on February 20, 1974. That the com- prehensive planning process for Pitkin County has been con- tinued since the date of the adoption of the Master Plan and is illustrated by the adoption by the Pitkin County Planning Commission of, among other things, the Criteria for Sardy Field, as adopted July, 1971; the Trail System Plan, as adopted March 14, 1973, and amended February 20, 1974; the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan, Aspen, Colorado, as adopted September 26, 1973~ the Capital-Snowmass Creek Land Use Concepts, as adopted December 5, 1973; Planning Com- mission Resolution Amending the Aspen Area General Plan in the Buttermilk and Roaring Fork East Areas, as adopted February 20, 1974; and the Urban Runoff Management Plan, as adopted by the City of Aspen Planning and Zoning Com- mission on November 21, 1973. That in addition to the plans and studies which have been officially adopted as set forth above, the county has contracted for or obtained significant additional plan- ning and impact studies relating to Pitkin County, a list of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Addendum B. That the proposed amendments to the map and zoning resolution are necessary to begin imple- mentation of the recommendations contained in the above- listed Master Plan, amendments thereto, and other planning studies and reports. 2. That subsequent to the original zoning resolu- tion and maps enacted in 1955, and even subsequent to the adop- tion of the Aspen Area General Plan (Master Plan) in 1966, there has occurred a substantial change in conditions and circumstances in the area. Some of these changes in condi- tions and circumstances are as follows. The population of Pitkin County has more than doubled every ten years since 1950. It is the fastest growing county in the State of Colorado and during the last five years has grown at an estimated rate of 15 percent per year, which rate will cause the population to double every five years. That the number of skier days, according to the statistics of the Aspen Skiing Corporation, have increased from 62,000 during the 1954-55 season to 1,173,528 during the 1972-73 season, and during the last five years has increased at an annual rate of 22 percent per year, which rate will cause the skier day figure to double every three and one-half years. That during the last five years the number of multiple-family housing units (primarily condominiums) has increased at an annual rate of 19 percent per year. That the total local government spending has increased at the rate of 17 percent per year, and that figure discounts the increases caused by devaluation of the dollar or inflation (i.e., 1967 fixed dollars), and law enforcement costs have increased during the last five years at an annual rate of 20 percent per I~OOK year based on 1967 fixed dollars. That at a 20 percent annual growth rate a quantity doubles in less than four years. That the extremely rapid growth rates experienced by this county have created a serious lag in the ability of the public to provide the necessary services and facilities to meet the needs of the community and that the community has reached a critical size, such that if the above growth rates continue the viability of local government to meet the community needs will be seriously threatened. That there has developed a serious imbalance in tourist housing as compared to ski hill capacity in various ski areas in Pitkin County. That, for example, the town of Aspen contains approximately 9,000 tourist beds, while the Aspen Mountain ski hill capacity is approximately 3,300. That such imbalance in tourist beds located away from the ski hills where excess capacity exists compared to base facilities, necessitates substantial and expensive public transportation facilities to move the skiers twice daily. This imbalance would indicate that further expansion of tourist housing in the immediate Aspen area should be closely regulated. That the growth rates recited above have caused a substantial impact of numbers of people upon the required public services and facilities such as roads and maintenance, water and sewage treatment, police and fire protection, air- port, hospital, sanitary landfill, parks, and public trans- portation. Certain serious deficiencies in such facilities and services currently exist and would be obsolete shortly after upgrading in the event such growth rates were to con- tinue. That the attitude of the general public towards growth expansion and services in Pitkin County and the Aspen area have changed substantially in recent years, per- haps in realization of the danger inherent in such continued growth rates, such public opinion being reflected in the election of public officials, both city and county, whose campaigns were based upon pledges of controlled and orderly growth, and by the vote or approval by public officials of the ultimate expenditure of some $7,000,000 for the pur- chase of land to maintain open space, create parks, and the like, and the commitment of over $2,000,000 in public funds by the City of Aspen to attempt to implement a trans- portation plan and reduce traffic congestion. That the amendments to the zoning map and resolu- tion herein are necessary to preserve the viability of local government, and the ability of such local government to effectively deal with the public facilities and services deficiencies and other problems raised by the changing condi- tions and circumstances recited. 3. That in order to protect the economy in government expenditures the tax base and secure and the viability of local government, it is necessary to provide for a logical, continuous, and phased expansion of public services and faci- lities. That a number of areas within the county currently zoned for high density development are outside of the service areas of municipal water and sewer treatment facilities. That at the present time the Metro Sewer Plant, which just this year completed a $431,000 expansion program, is already surg- ing to 70 percent capacity and must be expanded again when such surges reach 80 percent of capacity. That the county currently has determined that it is necessary to build a new hospital at a total cost of $4,000,000, and that it is necessary to expand the airport and its facilities, the first phase of which will cost an estimated $5,500,000. That additional facilities and service deficiencies exist and these deficiencies are increasing in the area of fire and police protection and surface and storm water runoff. That the recent Urban Runoff Management Plan indicated that the most significant source of pollution of the Roaring Fork River was such storm and surface drainage runoff. That, * c 429 further, the local government needs to plan for a logical expansion of other public services such as schools, sanitary landfills, parks, and public transit facilities. That the Planning Commission calculated the theoretically permissible densities under existing zoning in May of 1972 and determined that accommodations could be built under such existing zoning for approximately 206,000 persons in the portion of Pitkin County encompassed within the Aspen Area General Plan, omitting from such calculation the unzoned and the agriculture and forestry zoned areas, and omitting the City of Aspen. That the County of Pitkin currently has on file applications for subdivision approval or building permits to construct 3,227 units, primarily condominium multi-family units. Assuming the planning figure of 3.2 people per unit, these densities would convert to housing for in excess of 10,000 people in a county, which, according to the 1970 census, had a popula- tion of 6,190. That in addition to this, the City of Aspen currently has on file applications for 730 units, or approx- imately 2,340 additional population in a town that, accord- ing to the 1970 census, contained 2,400 persons. That the above densities are all allowed by right under existing zoning. That the amendments to resolution herein are necessary tax base and secure the economy the zoning map and zoning to protect the existing and governmental expendi- tures and to protect the viability of government. 4. That in order to lessen congestion on the roads and prevent the waste inherent in an excessive amount of roads, it is necessary to provide for the logical and continuous expansion of a road system in accordance with development and not to allow the overloading or congestion of the county roads. That according to the Road Network Analysis of Pitkin County, Colorado prepared by Briscoe- Maphis, Inc., management consultants, and presented to the county on October 23, 1973, certain undeveloped portions of the county currently zoned for high density uses are served by inadequate and already overloaded road systems, which road systems would be entirely inappropriate and unable to handle any additional traffic loads created by any such further high density development. That the amend- ments to the zoning map and to the zoning resolution con- tained herein are necessary to lessen congestion on such roads and prevent waste caused by excessive amounts of roads. 5. That for the safety and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the county and visitors thereto, it is necessary to regulate and control residen- tial high density and commercial uses on steep slopes, unstable soils, in flood plains, in potential avalanche, rockfall and landslide areas, and in potential wildfire areas. That at the present time certain areas of the county are zoned to allow high density commercial and residential uses in such hazard areas. That further for the safety and welfare of the inhabitants and visitors, it is necessary to avoid undue con- centration of densities which would create air, noise, or water pollution. That at the present time certain areas of the county are zoned such as to allow such undue concen- tration. That further for the safety and welfare of the inhabitants and visitors, it is necessary to regulate high density residential and commercial uses in the vicinity of the centerline extended of the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport runway to lessen the dangers from crashes and of noise annoyance. That certain areas near the centerline extended of the runway of the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport are currently zoned for high density accommodation uses and are within the excessive noise envelope that is shown for the Master Plan for the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport prepared by Isbitl and Associates. -7- That further for the safety and welfare of the inhabitants and visitors, it is desirable to have high density accommodations, residential and commercial uses connected to municipal water and sewage treatment facilities. That currently high density zoning uses are allowed in the county in areas which are beyond the services areas of any such municipal systems. That for the safety and welfare of the present and future inhabitants and visitors to the county the within amendments to the zoning map and resolution are required. 6. That to preserve the prosperity and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the community and visitors thereto it is necessary to maintain a viable econ- omic base. That approximately 70 percent of the personal incomes of the inhabitants of Pitkin County are derived from the recreation and tourism industry. That an essential element of the attractiveness of Pitkin County as a tourist and resort area is its aesthetically-pleasing and unspoiled natural environment, including its high quality air and water, as well as the small town experience of Aspen. That it is essential to such tourist industry to retain and maintain such natural setting and small scale without congestion and degradation of the quality of the air, water, natural vegetation, and wildlife. That the development and densi- ties allowed under existing zoning, even if only partially built, would seriously erode if not destroy the necessary resort experience to maintain the tourist economy of the area. That such development would cause extreme congestion and extreme degradation of the air, water, and natural setting quality of the area. That the proposed amendments to the zoning map and resolution are therefore essential to maintain the prosperity and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the county. 7. That the amendments to the zoning resolution and maps herein will allow flexibility in land use development in sentitive areas through the establishment of mandatory planned unit development districts in certain areas, which will allow greater efficiency for the provision of roads and other public utilities and facilities as well as better preserving the natural setting for the benefit of the enhancement of the tourist economy, as well for those who here permanently reside. 8. That the amendments to the zoning resolution and the maps as contained herein will correct certain errors to the zoning map and resolution which were discovered as a result of the preparation by the county in early 1973 of an updated set of zoning maps showing all changes to such date. 9. That the amendments to the zoning resolution and maps herein will still allow reasonable use of all lands affected by such amendments. 10. The amendments to the zoning resolution and maps are part of a continuing planning process and further rezoning will be made as further study and analysis or changes in conditions reveal and make apparent the subsequent need for such additional rezonings in a manner and in an area where development is logical, safe, and appropriate and can be served by the necessary public services and facilities. 11. That the Planning Commission has recommended two additional changes on the maps, namely changing the Colo- rado Ute and Airport Business Center area and part of the West Village expansion area, and those changes are accepted by the Board and are now indicated on the maps accompanying this resolution (sheets 9 and 12). NOW BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Pitkin County Zoning Resolution be amended as provided herein in Addendum A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and that the official Pitkin County Zoning Maps, sheets numbered cover sheet, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 be amended, and new sheet numbered 28 with a zoning change as indicated -9- with this resolution and incorporated herein by reference; and such maps and resolution shall be placed on file in the office of the Pitkin County Building Inspector and shall be further filed with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder.
