ASPEN — —A plan for future development at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport that includes replacement of the commercial terminal and eventual development on the airport’s west side took a step forward Tuesday, when county commissioners agreed that it is ready for Planning and Zoning Commission review.
The airport’s aviation director, consultants and the county manager continued to stress that the master plan represents a reservation of space for future improvements, as opposed to firm design proposals, but its recommended layout of facilities and the size of the buildings will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will offer only referral comments back to commissioners, according to Lance Clarke, the county’s deputy director of community development. With the Planning and Zoning Commission’s input in hand, commissioners are expected to hold public hearings on the master plan and formally vote on its adoption sometime this fall.
Each component of the plan will see individual review and approval as specific projects come forward, according to Clarke.
