    MEMORANDUM TO: Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Mike Kraemer, Senior Planner RE: AR-2 Zone District Land Use Text Code Amendment DATE: September 5th, 2017 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: A “Special Events Venue” is a use that is currently prohibited in the Residential – 2 Acre (AR-2) Zone District. The Applicant has proposed to amend the Land Use Code to establish a “Special Events Venue” as a Special Review Use within the AR-2 Zone District. Since Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) review of the request, there has been a “substantial change” to the proposal that is required to be reviewed again by the P&Z prior to final decision by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Additionally, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S) Section 30-28-116, the requested amendment is also identified as an Amendment to the Zoning Plan. APPLICANT: Redstone Castle, LLC – Steve and April Carver REPRESENTATIVE: Glenn Horn BACKGROUND: The P&Z heard this request at a regularly scheduled meeting on March 28th, 2017 (Staff memo to P&Z, Attachment A). At this meeting, the P&Z adopted a motion to recommend approval of the proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment to establish a Special Events Venue as a Special Review Use in the AR-2 Zone District with the Staff recommended change to establish a 10 acre minimum lot size for a property to be eligible to request this designation. The purpose of establishing a 10 acre minimum lot size was based on the concept that larger acreage properties would have an advantage over smaller acreage properties to absorb potential impacts created by the Special Events Venue use.

I am excited with the Castle owners, Steve and April Carver, willingness to allow public access to this historic treasure. I firmly believe that they will revitalize Redstone. As a board member of the Redstone Historical Society and former Castle Tour guide 2009 – 2017, I have witnessed firsthand the Carver’s commitment to the historic integrity of the Castle and their pledge to honor the Colorado Historical Foundation Deed of Conservation Easement. Their ownership is a dream come true after over a decade of neglect by the previous owner. As a homeowner in the Crystal River Park subdivision since 1994, I am embarrassed by the negativity of my neighbors that I feel unjustly oppose this application. Yes, there will be some music, as there was when Ken Johnson operated the Castle for almost 20 years, but it was very manageable. It is my sense that most of the vocal opposition is from new neighbors that have never have experienced a vibrant Redstone. As a member of the Redstone community for 30 years, I must emphasize that it's always the negative folks that are vocal. Please listen to the silent majority and seek the greater good for Crystal Valley's future -- Preserve - Protect - Enhance!

Before 1854, the year in which Nebraska was leg­ islated into existence, permanent residence in this place was technically illegal.
