10-48-010 SUMMARY OF LAND USE STANDARDS
A. Attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter, and incorporated herein by this reference is the adopted land use identification plan for the Airport.
B. Commercial Aeronautical Operators intending to construct Facilities and/or provide services or conduct activities defined herein as “additional” Facilities and services (or as “permitted” Facilities not within the footprint or structure of existing “required” Facilities), first shall be required to apply for all required land-use approvals through the Pitkin County Land Use Code, as it may be amended from time to time. Depending on the Operator’s proposal, these applications may include, without limitation, amendment to the Airport master plan, application for subdivision approval (or exemption from subdivision), for a growth management quota system (GMQS) allotment (or a GMQS exemption), special review (including Highway 82 and scenic foreground review), and H.B. 1041 hazard review. The specific requirements for these applications are contained in the land use code. Generally, however, land-use applications seek to evaluate development proposals and suggest mitigation measures in the following areas:
- Conformance with Aspen area general plan, Airport zoning and Airport master plan;
- Conformance with other County, state and federal laws and regulations;
- Avoidance of natural and man made hazards and resource areas;
- Avoidance of soil, surficial geologic and radiation hazards;
- Avoidance of adverse drainage and erosion impacts;
- Adequate provision for water, sewer and other utilities;
- Adequate provision for impacts on roads, Parking and transportation;
- Compatibility with historical and archaeological concerns and scenic quality;
- Compatibility with agricultural lands and operations;
- Adequate provision for impacts on tax base and government services;
- Provision of affordable employee housing;
- Provision for energy conservation;
- Avoidance of environmental harm, including air, water and noise pollution;
- Compatibility with existing neighbor-hoods and surrounding land uses.
- Phasing of growth rate. (§ 10.48.010 repealed reenacted Ord. 028-05)
