1. Purpose & Enforcement
1.1. Purpose of the PUD Guide
The primary purpose of this PUD Guide is to set forth a comprehensive framework of standards,
restrictions and regulations which govern development and land use within the Aspen Valley Polo
Club PUD. This PUD Guide will promote the orderly and compatible development of the property,
while remaining somewhat flexible to allow for market changes and design innovations as the
development progresses through its operational life cycle. This PUD Guide supersedes the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) with site specific regulations that are more
appropriate to the design goals and objectives of lands contained within this PUD. This PUD Guide is
authorized pursuant to Garfield County Resolution No. , dated
approving the PUD Amendment for the Aspen Valley Polo Club PUD.
1.2. Enforcement of the PUD Guide
The provisions of this PUD Guide are enforceable by the authority and powers of Garfield County, as
granted by law. Enforcement action shall be consistent with the authority and actions defined in the
Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC), as amended. All provisions of this PUD
Guide shall run in favor of the residents, occupants and owners of land within the Aspen Valley Polo
Club PUD, to the extent expressly provided in this PUD Guide and in accordance with its terms and
conditions. Where the PUD Guide is silent, the specific provisions of the LUDC, as may be amended
from time to time, shall prevail.

to the terms of this Section.
7.2. Mitigation Types
Affordable Housing mitigation for the Aspen Valley Polo Club PUD may be provided as For Sale,
Rental, or Off -Site Affordable Housing Units. Mitigation may be provided in any combination of
these three alternatives.

Aspen Valley Polo Club
17 PUD Guide — November, 2017
7.3. Development Schedule
Following the completion and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for every nine (9) dwelling units
within the PUD:
No building permits for additional dwelling units shall be issued until the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for one (1) Affordable Housing Unit within the PUD; OR the
provision of one (1) Off -Site Affordable Housing Unit.
7.4. Location
Affordable Housing Units may be located in Zone District 1, Zone District 2 or off-site.
7.5. Bedrooms & Unit Mix
The total of all provided Affordable Housing Units shall include at least nine (9) bedrooms. This
figure is determined by multiplying the number of required Affordable Housing Units (5), by the
average number of persons in a household (2.6), then dividing the result by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development criteria of persons per bedroom (1.5). The resulting number is the
minimum required number of bedrooms that shall be disbursed across the required Affordable
Housing Units.
Therefore: 5 x 2.6 = 13
13 / 1.5 = 8.67 bedrooms
Rounded = 9 bedrooms
The Affordable Housing Units may be provided in any combination of For Sale, Rental, or Off -Site
Affordable Housing Units. The following minimum square footage requirements shall be met, with
only finished square footage being counted, excluding garages, carports, and unfinished basement
space:
