Th e Housin g Cr is is AFFORDABLE HOUSING PHILOSOPHY IN ASPEN The Aspen Area Community Plan states that the City of Aspen believes in a strong and diverse year-round community and a viable and healthy local workforce are fundamental cornerstones for the sustainability of the Aspen Area community. The Aspen community has consistently supported affordable housing through both the 1% Housing Real Estate Transfer Tax and 45% of the .45% Housing and Day Care Sales Tax. These funds have supported the City to build new affordable housing units. Aspen Voters recently approved a short-term rental tax which will provide additional funding for affordable housing.

T h e H ou si n g Cr is is HOW CAN THE LUMBERYARD HELP? Urgent Community Need

Who is the Lumberyard For?

In response to the urgent need for affordable housing in the Aspen area, Aspen’s Lumberyard affordable housing neighborhood creates: • 195 new affordable rental units • 82 new affordable ownership units

This neighborhood will house local workforce who will be qualified within income and asset limits of the Aspen / Pitkin County Housing Authority (APCHA).

Variety

Extensive community engagement and market studies helped establish that Aspen should plan for a variety of unit types and a broad mix of demographics. And since affordable childcare is also a primary community need, space was also set aside for a future early childhood education center within the neighborhood.

Lumberyard will serve a broad range of working household incomes. •

15% of units will serve households at or below 50% AMI

33% of units will serve households from 50 to 85% AMI

33% of units will serve households from 85 to 130% AMI

13% of units will serve households from 130 to 205% AMI

5% of units will serve households from 205 to 240% AMI

The Lumberyard will help ensure that more people who provide critical services to Aspen’s community and businesses have a local place to call home. C USH ING T ERREL L

V is ion & P h ilo so p h y City of Aspen - 2012 Aspen Area Community Plan (Housing Section) Vision

Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority (2021 APCHA Housing Regulations) Mission Statement

We believe that a strong and diverse year-round community and a viable and healthy local workforce are fundamental cornerstones for the sustainability of the Aspen Area community.

The goal of APCHA is to provide affordable housing opportunities through rental and sale to persons who are or have been actively employed or selfemployed within Aspen and Pitkin County, and that provide or have provided goods and services to individuals, businesses or institutional operations, within Aspen and Pitkin County (prior to retirement and/or any disability), and other qualified persons as defined in these Regulations, and as they are amended from time to time.

Philosophy We are committed to providing affordable housing because it supports: •

A stable community that is invested in the present and future of the Aspen Area.

A reliable workforce, also resulting in greater economic sustainability.

Opportunities for people to live in close proximity to where they work.

A reduction in adverse transportation impacts.

Improved environmental sustainability.

A reduction in down valley growth pressures.

Increased citizen participation in civic affairs, non-profit activities and recreation programs.

A better visitor experience, including an appreciation of our genuine, lights-on community.

A healthy mix of people, including singles, families and seniors.

C O MMU N IT Y CO N N EC T I O N D e f in i n g C o mm u n i ty Co nn e c ti o n Successful neighborhoods are integrated into the fabric of their communities. A big part of this connection is ensuring ease of access to the diversity of modes of transit that already exist in Aspen.

What success might look like: •

Adequate parking on-site so as not to negatively impact neighboring areas

Having the ability to select the appropriate mode of transit based on weather, destination, purpose, or whim allows residents of the Lumberyard to leave their cars parked for incidental travel.

Pedestrian walkways throughout and connecting to the ABC and existing trails

Maintain and improve the bike paths to the ABC and Annie Mitchell

Vehicular connections to the ABC and Highway 82 with appropriate stacking distances

Space for a possible transit stop

Space for multi-modal transportation alternatives

Spaces allowing neighbors to engage with one another

A connected community can greatly contribute to well-being and contentment in day-to-day life.

All three are needed to create a strong and long lasting community.

What success might look like: Energy

Environmental Sustainability - The ability to avoid

• • •

depletion and degradation of natural resources while allowing for long term environmental quality.

Economic Sustainability - The ability of an economy to support an appropriate level of economic capacity and activity to serve societal needs.

Social Sustainability - The capacity to create healthy, accessible, livable places for all.

• • • •

Full Electrified Buildings and Net Zero Energy Site-wide, including on-site storage Forward-looking Electric Vehicle infrastructure Leveraging passive solar strategies Enhanced building commissioning and metering

Water

Advanced metering Low usage building systems and fixtures Native plantings and xeriscaping

Waste & Recycling • •

C&D waste management and planning Construction activity pollution prevention

Wellness • • •

As history has shown, Aspen has a civic responsibility to act on behalf of its constituents, a moral imperative to take the steps necessary to meet the challenge of climate change, and the potential to be a catalyst for meaningful and effective action around the state, country and world. - City of Aspen Climate Plan.

PEDES T RIA N FR IEN DLY D e f in i n g P e d e s tri an F ri e n d l y The goal of this development is to emphasize people over cars. We know there will be a lot of vehicles housed at the lumberyard along with residents. Strategies that calm traffic and reduce physical conflicts between cars and people will be utilized. Providing landscaping or parallel parking along walkways bordering streets helps provide physical separation. Pedestrian friendly means thoughtfully designed sidewalks. Walkways should be connected and well lit. They should be wide enough to allow people to pass comfortably, especially when pushing strollers, walking dogs, or carrying that particularly heavy bag of groceries. A walkway lined with trees providing dappled shade in the summer makes them inviting places to be.

What success might look like: •

Tree lined, well-lit sidewalks adjacent to but separated from streets by tree lawns

Sidewalks throughout site that directly connect to adjacent trails

Safe lighting levels at all pedestrian circulation areas throughout site

Maximize solar access at sidewalks and outdoor public spaces

Snow storage areas and awareness of snow shed safety clearances to pedestrian areas

L IVING W EL L D e f in i n g L i vi n g We l l At the root of all housing projects, but particularly acute when discussing affordable communities, is the sentiment that everyone deserves a good place to live. What does this mean and how do we get there?

What success might look like: •

Day-lit indoor spaces with access to views

Adequate storage space for outdoor lifestyle equipment as well as maintenance and repair facilities

Living Well means providing for community members basic needs, but also allowing them the opportunity to thrive and enjoy all the same benefits afforded to all members of the community.

Easy access to parking or public transportation when running errands

Quality design & finishes to promote a sense of ownership- Easy access to outdoor spaces

Comfortable spaces to allow for gathering of friends and family

Quiet, efficient and reliable fixtures and equipment

Increased accessibility both on site and within dwellings

At a basic level, Living Well means providing a safe and secure environment. It also means creating an environment that allows for positive physical and mental health. For the sake of this effort the Design Team has categorized items such as indoor air quality, noise and hazard materials under the ‘sustainability’ tag, but it is important to note the interconnectedness. Specific to the way the community members of Aspen at large live, Living Well might mean creating a community that does not preclude or challenge one’s ability to enjoy the natural resources found in abundance in and around the area.

A practical rugged quality that reflects the alpine lifestyle of this historic mining town turned ski destination. SURVEY RESULTS:

“...Needs to have mountain appeal due to entrance to Aspen and how many people see this every day”. “Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency. The design should be efficient! Aspen has a long history of building very inefficient and affordable housing units with excess emphasis on ‘custom’ design, ‘no 2 units alike’.
