Meadow Drive /Lots E &F, Vail Village 2nd Filing. Applicant: Stan Anderson, Vail Valley Medical Center Represented by Braun and Associates, Inc. Planner: Bill Gibson I. SUMMARY The applicant, Stan Anderson, Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC), represented by Braun and Associates, Inc., is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for a tourist/guest service related facility accessory to a parking structure. More specifically, the VVMC is proposing to sell skier /guest parking in their existing parking structure to the general public on weekends during Vail's ski season. Based upon Staffs review of the criteria in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval of this request subject to the findings and conditions noted in Section IX of this memorandum. The applicant is also requesting a variance from the provisions of 11- 413-713-2, Vail Town Code, to allow for the erection of signage for the skier /guest parking exceeding the allowable sign area limits. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval of this request subject to the findings and conditions noted in Section IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for a tourist/guest service related facility accessory to a parking structure. More specifically, the VVMC is proposing to provide short -term skier /guest parking to the general public on weekends during Vail's ski season. The applicant is requesting to sell up to 100 existing parking spaces daily in the VVMC parking structure for skier /guest parking on Saturdays and Sundays. Sales of these parking spaces will be conducted at the South Frontage Road entrance to the VVMC parking structure. The applicant has indicated that this entrance will be staffed and t I V. business transactions will be conducted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and Noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The applicant has indicated that 30 percent of the VVMC campus is composed of tenant businesses that do not operate on weekends and that surgical procedures and other treatment units at the VVMC have reduced staffing on weekends. Based upon these decreased staff and patient parking demands, the applicant has indicated that there is usually a surplus of 107 to 137 parking spaces at the VVMC parking structure on weekends. Therefore, the applicant believes that 100 parking spaces can be sold on weekends to the public for skier /guest parking without any negative impacts to the demand for patient and staff parking for the VVMC. A copy of the applicant's request has been attached for reference (see Attachment C). The applicant is also requesting a variance from the provisions of 11- 4B -7B -2, Vail Town Code, to allow for the erection of signage for the skier /guest parking exceeding the allowable sign area limits. The VVMC parking structure business frontage is approximately 65 feet along the South Frontage Road. Based upon this business frontage, the applicant is permitted to erect a maximum of 13 square feet of signage pursuant to Section 11- 4B -7B -2, Vail Town Code. The applicant is proposing to erect a temporary 20 square foot freestanding sign mounted within the South Frontage Road right -of -way (see Attachment E). The applicant will be required to enter into a license agreement with the Town of Vail for the temporary use of the right -of -way. The applicant originally proposed to erect a sandwhich board style sign; however, Section 11 -5 -2G, Vail Town Code, prohibits signs not affixed or attached to the ground or any structure. Therefore the applicant has agreed to erect a freestanding sign affixed to the ground only during the permitted business transaction hours for the skier /guest parking. All signs associated with this conditional use permit shall be subject to Town of Vail design review. 111. BACKGROUND On December 22, 1997 the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow skier /guest parking on weekends and holidays in the Vail Valley Medical Center parking structure. This conditional use permit approval has since expired. The applicant's current signage proposal is scheduled for review by the Town of Vail Design Review Board at its January 15, 2002 public hearing. IV.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by the Town Code. The proposed tourist/guest service related facility accessory to a parking structure is located within the General Use (GU) District. Therefore, this proposal is subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12 -16, Vail Town Code. A. Consideration of Factors Regarding Conditional Use Permits: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. This type of proposed use is permitted as a conditional use in the General Use (GU) District. Staff believes that this proposal is consistent with the purpose of the General Use (GU) District and the goals of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan referenced in Section V of this memorandum. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that this proposal will have a positive impact on the above mentioned items, since this proposal will reduce demand on public parking facilities during peak weekend hours. This proposal may increase the level of bus ridership at the VVMC bus stops, but staff does not believe that this will create negative impact on bus service capacities. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. Staff believes that this proposal will have a positive affect on the above mentioned items. This proposal will reduce the amount of overflow skier /guest parking currently accommodated along the South Frontage Road. Reducing overflow parking on the South Frontage Road will reduce traffic congestion and improve automotive and pedestrian safety. Staff is recommending that the Planning and Environmental Commission grant the Town of Vail Director of Public 9 Works the authority to revoke the approval of this proposal should the Director of Public Works determine that the operation of this proposal creates any negative impacts or unsafe conditions related to the above mentioned items. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The applicant is not proposing to make any physical changes to the existing parking structure and the operation of this use will be temporary in nature and all signage shall be subject to Town of Vail design review. Therefore, staff does not believe that this proposal will have any negative affects of the above mentioned items in comparison to existing conditions on the site. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before rq anting a conditional use permit: That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the General Use (GU) District. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it will be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning regulations. C. Consideration of Factors Regarding a Sign Variance: Special Circumstances Exist: There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matters on adjacent lots or within the adjacent right -of -way, which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question, provided, however, that such special circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprise to which the applicant desires to draw attention, and do not apply generally to all businesses or enterprises. Staff believes that the property line configurations, building locations, topography, and vegetation are unique and considered special circumstances that significantly restrict the effects of signage on this site. Staff believes that a 20 square foot sign is appropriate to properly identify the location of this temporary skier /guest parking use given the existing site conditions and unique nature of the use. m PI 2. Applicant Not Responsible: That such special circumstances were not created by the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. Staff does not believe that these special circumstances on this site were not created by the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. 3. Harmony Maintained: That granting of the variance will be in general harmony with the purpose of the sign code, and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. Staff does not believe the approval of this variance request would be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. 4. In Line With Provisions: The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this Title any more than is required to identify the applicant's business or use. Pursuant to Section 11 -4B -7, Vail Town Code, the maximum allowable size of a freestanding sign for this business is 13 square feet. The applicant is proposing to erect a freestanding sign 20 square feet in size, which is the maximum size permitted for any freestanding sign. Staff believes that this proposed sign size is appropriate given the existing conditions of the site and the temporary nature of the sign. 5. Other Factors: Such other factors and criteria as the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the followinc findings before granting a sign variance: Special Circumstances Exist: There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matters on adjacent lots or within the adjacent right of way, which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question: provided, however, that such special circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprise to which the applicant desires to draw attention, and do not apply generally to all businesses or enterprises. 2. Applicant Not Responsible: That such special circumstances were not created by the applicant. 3. Harmony Maintained: That the granting of the variance will be in general harmony with the purposes of this Title, and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. 4. In Line With Provisions: The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this Title any more than is required to identify the applicant's business or use. 5. Other Factors: Such other factors and criteria as the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. IX.

Community Development Department Published December 27, 2002 in the Vail Daily. 2 Attachment: C PROPOSED SIGN USAGE FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PARKING OPERATIONS, VVMC. The operations and logistics for the proposed skier parking operations are the same as the 1997 Conditional Use Permit. The Vail valley Medical Center currently has a parking structure that has 219 spaces, most of which are not used on the weekends. VVMC would request that it be authorized to sell up to 100 parking spaces to the general public on Saturdays and Sundays during the ski season. This resource can greatly benefit the Town of Vail and skier population by reducing the number of cars that park on the South Frontage Road. In addition, VVMC has close proximity to the Town of Vail Bus stop located to the South of the parking structure on West Meadow Drive. In order to advertise the availability of parking, VVMC request the use of a sign (see attached) that is large enough to be seen by westbound traffic on the South Frontage Road. We believe the proposed sign dimensions are adequate for this purpose. SIGNAGE COLORS. VVMC is submitting a sign that has some bright colors. We believe these colors could be changed to any scheme as long as the sign is large enough. The sign would be a "sandwich board " style sign that would be located on the South end of the parking structure next at the control gate. The hours of operation would be from 8AM until 11 AM. The position will be manned to operate the control gate and at 11AM, the sign will be removed. The automatic function on the gate will allow guest to exit. A small pamphlet will be distributed to parking guest that directs them to the bus stop and will have a contact phone number for assistance while parked at VVMC. The effect of this program utilizes current VVMC entrance and exit routes and due to the temporary location of the sign there will be no " area character change" for this location. STATEMENT AND GENERAL USE DESCRIPTION ADDRESSING THE FOLLOWING FACTORS: A. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. Vail Valley Medical Center is seeking a conditional use permit to sell to the general public access to VVMC's parking structure. Use of the structure would be on weekends only, when the hospital has an abundant number of unused parking spaces. Selling 100 spaces to the general public will still allow VVMC to meet patient and employee parking demands. Currently, there are 330 available parking spaces comprised of 207 inside the parking structure and 123 in the front parking lot. Typical usage on weekends shows approximately 40 vehicles parked in the front lot and 70 inside the parking structure. B. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Allowing the sale of existing parking spaces at Vail Valley Medical Center is a positive use of community resources toward its ongoing parking shortage. C. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Distribution on the visitor population and reduction of overburden parking facilities would be complimentary to accessing the Town of Vail. D. The effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and connivance, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. A reduction of overflow parking on the Frontage Roads is foreseen. Pedestrian safety is complimented by use of the Town of Vail bus located on Meadow Drive. E. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. By enabling Vail Valley Medical Center to utilize existing parking spaces to meet public need is a positive use of community resources. This program will relieve congestion on the South Frontage road and make access to recreational facilities easier for the guest. 01/09/2003 04:42 970 - 926 -7576 JAN-09 -8003 16:18 FROM: BRAUN ASSOCIATES Vail Meal Center TO:970 926 7576 The main parking structure for the VVMC campus at 181 W. Meadow Drive contains 207 parking spaces for employees. Employees between Monday and Friday genendly flfl these spaces. However, on weekends, stafiuig at the hospital decreases dramatically for it variety of reasons. About 30% of staffing at the campus are comprised of tenant units that :shut down for the weekend. ,Additionally, surgical praccdures and other treatment units have a considerably decreased workload. The bottom line is that out of those 207 spaces, between 70 and 1.00 may be used on Saturday and Sunday leaving approximately 107 -137 unused spaces.

I will fax you a copy of the parking lot layout. Skier parking will occur on level 2 and 3 up to about space 100. This also shows the location of the proposed sign. The sign will be 20 sq. ft. or less in size but will look identical to the graphic proposed. We think the sign needs to show the price $13 to same as Lionshead otherwise people may pull in and then want to leave and cause more congestion/confusion. The sign will be temporarily displayed from 8:00 am to noon on Sat. and Sunday, a total of 8 hours a week. 1 will fax you a letter from VVMC later today with the staffing levels. Thanks. Dominic F.
