In the R-3TN district, existing buildings that extend into required yards could be rebuilt within their existing footprints, but those encroachments could not be enlarged.

PUD amendment and special review for event space at 72 Sunset Drive
Aspen Elevated Catering proposes using approximately 1,000 square feet of its existing space for private and public events when the restaurant is not operating, with no increase in building area.

The applicant describes events for 30–40 people, but staff proposes an initial limit of 22 attendees because of parking constraints. Proposed conditions include 14 marked parking spaces, event hours of 11 AM to 10 PM, and removal of the food trucks fro

These rules would affect what property owners can build or operate and how nearby projects are reviewed, rather than approve a specific building project.
