3-40-60 TR-1 (Transitional Residential-1)

(a) Intent

The TR-1 (Transitional Residential-1) zone district allows for low density, low intensity residential development consistent in character with historic mining. The principal land use in this district is residential with typically associated accessory uses. The purpose of the district is to allow residential use that minimizes impacts of construction, servicing and occupation of the residences; to decrease employment generation that would occur with more intense development; to otherwise limit the demand for public services; and preserve the character of lands in this zone district. The zone district seeks to limit the intensity and scale of development to small sized buildings and structures, as a transition from high density and intensity within the Aspen Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to the Rural and Remote (RR) area where zoning reflects a low intensity of use.

(b) Locational Criteria

Lands appropriate for the TR-1 zone district are those near the boundary of the Aspen Urban Growth Boundary and recommended for rezoning in the East of Aspen/Independence Pass Master Plan. Land appropriate for this zone district designation are those properties near the boundary of the Aspen Urban Growth Boundary that are transitional in character, which may have or may be associated with environmental or ecological resources, environmental hazards, areas of state interest, scenic significance or properties otherwise sensitive to overly intensive development.

TDRs may be severed and sold from lands in the TR-1 zone district pursuant to Secs. 6-70 and 2-40-30 and/or if the property is designated on the Pitkin County Historic Register. TDRs may not be purchased from other zone districts and used in the TR-1 zone district.
