MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 28, 2010
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a variance from Section 11-6-3-A, Business �
Identification Signs, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 11-10, Variances and
Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for business identification signs larger than 6
sq. ft. in area, located at 141 East Meadow Drive (Solaris)/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail
Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100029)
Applicant: Peter Knobel, represented by Mauriello Planning Group �
Planner: Warren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
�
The applicant, Peter Knobel, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting �'
a sign variance to allow for business identification signs for all commercial tenants
located at 141 East Meadow Drive in the Solaris project to exceed the permitted six (6)
square feet and be a maximum of 12 square feet in size. �
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends denial of the variance application subject to the findings noted in Section
VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
�
The applicant, Peter Knobel, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting �
a sign variance to allow for a maximum of 12 square foot business identification signs for �'
all commercial tenants within the Solaris project. The Town's current sign regulations
allow business identification signs to be no larger than six (6) square feet in area.
The applicant is proposing to allow all commercial tenants on the plaza and promenade
levels of the Solaris project to request business identification signs up to a maximum of
12 square feet. Business identification signs can be either wall mounted (flush), awning, �
or projecting (perpendicularly mounted). �
The applicant suggests that there are several reasons which warrant a variance which �
complies with the criteria found in Section VII of this memorandum. Those reasons
include the scale and design of the structure which was the result of provisions of the
Vail Village Master Plan identifying a need for a public plaza on the Solaris development
site. The incorporation of this public need resulted in commercial tenants being located
approximately 140 feet from East Meadow Drive at its greatest point, thus out of the �
primary flow of pedestrians. The applicant believes that a variance for increased sign
area is warranted in order for signs to be readily identifiable from East Meadow Drive
and to be in greater keeping with scale and architecture of the structure.

The applicant's request (Attachment A) and correspondence from an adjacent property
owner(Attachment B) are attached for review.
Iil. BACKGROUND
In 2003, the Town of Vail adopted new sign regulations. Solaris, being zoned Special
Development District No. 39 with an underlying zoning of Commercial Service Center,
was designated as part of Sign District 1. Sign District 1 includes all properties except
those zoned Arterial Business District (Cascade Crossing and the Vail Professional
Building) and Commercial Core 3 (West Vail commercial area). The regulations for Sign
District 1 were primarily drafted in context of the existing pedestrian oriented businesses
in Vail Village and Lionshead.
The 2003 sign code amendments eliminated the previous sliding scale sign area limits
that were proportional to the physical length of a business's frontage and replaced the
sign area limits with a flat six (6) square foot maximum. The purpose of the six (6)
square foot sign area limit was to create consistency of scale for signage in Vail Village
and Lionshead, to create equity among businesses owners, to simplify the sign �
application review process, and to simplify the enforcement of the sign regulations.
On March 21, 2006, the Solaris development became fully entitled through the approval
of the second reading of Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2006. �
On May 18, 2010, through Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2010, amendments to the Sign
Code were adopted by the Town Council resulting in the promenade level of the Solaris
project being defined as first floor thus allowing a maximum of six (6) square foot signs
verse four (4) square foot signs if the commercial spaces were defined as being on the
second floor. In addition, amendments allowing for entertainment use to have signage
with a maximum size of 15 square feet was approved.

11-10: VARIANCES AND APPEALS (in part)
3`
11-10-1: Variances
�''
A. Purpose: A variance from the sign regulations constitutes relief from the strict
interpretation of the standards and may be granted by the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) in cases where there exists a physical limitation that prevents the
existence, placement, or operation of a sign in compliance with the standards of this title.

Vail Villaqe Master Plan (in part) �
�.
OPEN SPACE PLAN �
Four different classifications of open space are indicated on the Open Space Plan. The �'
types of open space vary from greenbelt natural open space to the more urbanized
open space created by the Village's numerous public p/azas. While the role of each of
these forms of open space varies, they all contribute to the recreational, aesthetic, and �.
environmental features of the Village. For the purposes of this Plan, open space is
defined as conditions at the existing natural grade of the land. The following further �
defines each of these four types of open space: �
�.
Plazas with Greenspace: P/azas with greenspace are "urban open space." They �.
contribute significantly to the streetscape fabric of the Village. Formed in large part by
the buildings and spaces around them, p/azas with greenspace provide relief from the
built environment, a place for people to gather or relax, areas for special entertainment
or other activities and possible location for landscaping, water features, benches and
public art. �

VI1. REVIEW CRITERIA �
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Section 11-10-1,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
1. Special circumstances or conditions must exist that apply to the land,
buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on adjacent
lots or within the adjacent right of way, that would substantially restrict the
effectiveness of the sign in question. However, such circumstances must be
unique to the subject site. �
�'
Being zoned Commercial Service Center, with an overlay of SDD No. 39, Solaris is
located in Sign District 1. As described in Section III of this memorandum, the Sign
District 1 regulations were drafted primarily to address the environment contained within
Vail's pedestrian commercial villages. The Solaris development is located within Vail
Village which is a pedestrian oriented environment. To strengthen the success of Vail
Village as a pedestrian village the Town adopted the Vail Village Master Plan on January
16, 1990, to address short term and long term goals and objectives. The Master Plan �'
did offer specific recommendations for certain properties and locations within Vail �
Village. One of those recommendations was the inclusion of a public plaza on the �
Crossroads (Solaris) site. These recommendations are found in their entirety under �:
Section III of this memorandum.
5
�'
�:
It is a fact that through the entitlement process the Solaris project was reviewed for its
compliance with not only the Town Zoning Code, but the Vail Village Master Plan as
well. The plaza contained within the Solaris project is roughly 24,000 square feet (0.5
acre) in area with a depth of approximately 140 feet from the edge of East Meadow
Drive. This plaza contains an ice rink for the winter and grass area for the summer, two
pieces of unique art, and a movie theater and bowling alley public benefit which is
required to operate through development agreements. These activity attractors and ''
generators were located in the plaza consciously to draw people to the space and to
enliven it with activity. The applicant suggests that the plaza is off of the main flow of
pedestrian activity and that the larger signs are necessary to clearly identify what
commercial opportunities exist. The plaza at Solaris will have a public pedestrian
easement placed upon it prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy. Staff does
not agree with this assessment and believes the public pedestrian easement along with
the attractors and activity generators listed above that the plaza will sufficient draw
people into the project.
Staff believes that throughout the pedestrian villages there are areas which are outside `
the primary pedestrian flow, however, remain successful as the pedestrian villages are a
place of exploration with varying attractors located throughout, such as public art. Some
of these areas are Wall Street, the Gore Creek Promenade, Arrabelle plaza, Vail Village
Inn, and Concert Hall Plaza connection to West Lionshead Circle. Furthermore, the
curvilinear nature of many of our streets creates smaller places with an excitement to
continue forward, for example Bridge Street. All of these locations share a common sign
area size requirement of six (6) square feet.
Staff does not believe the proposed variance request is consistent with this criterion as
the site does not possess a unique circumstance on the subject site.
2. The applicant shall not have created the circumstances that have necessitated
the variance request.
Staff believes the proposed variance request is not consistent with this criterion since the
current sign regulations were in place well before the entitlement of the Solaris project.
While a portion of the design was driven by the location of a public plaza on the site the
final design was the vision of the applicant. The applicanYs choice to enter the special
development district process verse the utilization of the existing Commercial Service
Center District zoning resulted in a structure which may be of a scale by which the
applicant feels larger signs are appropriate. Staff does not share this belief and feel that
six (6) square feet signs are adequately legible from the Solaris plaza and East Meadow
Drive.
3. The applicant must demonstrate that the granting of the variance will be in
general harmony with the purposes of this title.
Staff believes that the granting of a variance for increased business identification �'
signage area would result in a disruption to the harmony and equity of the application of �
the Sign Code to all commercial tenants in the pedestrian villages. Staff does not �
believe this variance request is consistent with the specific purposes of the Town's sign �
regulations and the purpose of the business identification sign regulations as stated
below:
�`
6
Pursuant to Section 11-1-2-B: Specific Purpose, Vail Town Code, purposes of the
Town's sign regulations are:
"1. To describe and enable the fair and consistent enforcement of signs in the
town of Vail.
2. To encourage the establishment of well designed, creative signs that enhance
the unique character of Vail's village atmosphere.
3. To preserve a successful and high quality business environment that is aided
by signs that identify, direct, and inform.
4. To aid in providing for the growth of an orderly, safe, beautiful, and viable
community."
Pursuant to Section 11-6-1, Purpose and Description, Vail Town Code, the purpose of
the Town's business identification signs is as follows:
"Business and building identification signs are meant to identify and inform
through the display of the business and/or building name and any graphic
symbols or language pertinent to the advertised enterprise."
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends denial of the applicant's
request of a variance from Section 11-6-3-A, Business Identification Signs, Vail Town
Code, pursuant to Chapter 11-10, Variances and Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for
business identification signs larger than six (6) square feet in area, located at 141 East
Meadow Drive (Solaris)/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. This recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in
Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to deny this variance
request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass
the following motion:
"The Planning and Environmental Commission denies the applicanYs request of
a variance from Section 11-6-3-A, Business Identification Signs, Vail Town Code,

and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds: �,,
�
1. No special circumstances and conditions, unique to the subject site, exist that �
apply to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, and sign structures that
would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question. �
7
2. The applicant created the circumstances that have necessitated this variance
request.
3. The applicant has not demonstrated that the granting of this variance is in
general harmony with the purposes of Title 11, Sign Regulations, Vail Town

I. Introduction
There is no denying the elegance and beauty of Solaris. With high-end,
sophisticated materials, graceful architecture, charming public art, and substantial
public plaza and skating rink, Solaris has set a new bar for development projects in
the Town of Vail. With over 70,000 sf of varied commercial uses spanning two
levels, Solaris is nearly 20% of the existing commercial square footage of Vail Village
in a significant structure in Vail Viliage. 5
� -- r. _:..: ... .-,-----r- . ......_ _
When Solaris was originally being
considered by the Town of Vail, the signage 6 � 3 '"
�,.�.�.,�„�..�,, ,� -
allowance was based on frontage. As a � : 4�_,_ ���,��'�'
result, larger tenant space got larger signs. ,
In 2007, the Town of Vail undertook a ,� � !
comprehensive revision to the Sign Code �,2 . -' , �� � i
���,va� �� { ( � ' �
and limited all si ns in the Villa e and � � � , � -_ -
9 J ��� � , ��.
Lionshead (generally) to a maximum of 6 sf. -�-� , � ' ' ���
. � ��
The methodology for measuring signage
was also amended. The net effect of the ;4 ., ELEVATIONA-15SQFT.SIGN
amendments was to reduce the allowable ,��°i ��=4�-0-
signage for commercial uses. In the ° -- - .� _� ��- _ _ „-. -
Village, where buildings are generally only _.

Solaris Sign Variance 2
Because Solaris was a Special Development District, it seems appropriate that in the
review of the deviations from the underlying zone district, it would have been an
option to deviate from the signage requirements. However, when the amendments
were adopted, no such option was included in the Sign Code. As a result, a
variance request is the only avenue that is available to allow for additional
signage. Unlike a Zoning Code variance, there are only three criteria for review of
a Sign Variance. The criteria are provided in the Section III of this submittal.
II. Varian�e Request
Currently, the Sign Code limits a business identification sign to 6 sf, including all
letters, graphics and sign base material, including framing. Only brackets and
fixtures are not included in the sign measurement. The sign is measured using two
imaginary polygons enclosing everything. Solaris is requesting a variance for all
business identification signs to allow for a total size allowance of 12 sf. This 12 sf
would not include any framing, base material, or fixtures.
III. Criteria for Approval
A. Special circumstances or conditions must exist that apply fio the land,
buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on
adjacent lots or wifihin the adjacent right of way, thafi would substantially
restrict the effectiveness of fihe sign in question. However, such circumstances
must be unique to the subject site.
Applicant Response: Solaris was approved as a Special Development District,
with numerous public benefits far outweighing the benefits found in any other
SDD in the Town of Vail.
Included in the public � � :� � � �� ��� � ' �� ��� �� � �� ���
�,� .
benefit package is a movie �� � fi � � -��� ��ti �� �� `� ��� °�„� ;,�; � �,
theater, a bowling alley, "�`E� ' °`�.�.,,,� ��
and large public plaza with �� * � �_ �� �� � � �� �"�`��' �
���; , �.�� .�:�� :
an ice skating rink. These �� ��� � �
R �� � � , _
public benefits required a �� _�� ,�, " � ; �`
; .�
larger building than � ����� " f� • � ., . ', .. •_ + k `
typically approved in Vail � N+ �•� � � �'� �
Village, but it was believed � � �' � � ' '
, ,, . ,�
that these public benefits ` _�,.,. '
far outweighed the impacts ± �� ` �
of additional bulk and mass �. �
that was granted to Solaris. ,�
�,..,�.
The public plaza specifically ' � h-� �.
lead to a design of a
building where the mass, which would have typically been spread over the
entire site, is concentrated and setback from the public right-of-way. As a
result, the majority of the commercial tenant spaces are not adjacent to the
Solaris Sign Variance 3
public way, and are instead set back approximately 120 ft. This creates
issues with visibility. This is completely unique to Solaris, as no other developer
in Town has been willing to devote such a large portion of developable land
for public purposes. The public plaza was mandated by the Vail Village
Master Plan.
B. The applicant shall not have created the circumstances that have
necessitated the variance request.
Applicant Response: Implementation of the Town's policy recommending
the establishment of a large public plaza created the condition and situation
that exists today. The Town's desire for the public plaza created the hardship.
C. The applicant must demonstrate that the granting of the variance will be in
general harmony with the purposes of this title.
Applicant Response: Title 11 of the Vail Town Code provides the purposes of
the Sign Regulations:
General Purpose: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting
the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town of Vail and to
promote the coordinated and harmonious design and placement of signs in the
town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its
established character as a resort and residential community of the highest
quality.
Specific Purpose: These regulations are intended to achieve the following
specific purposes:
l. To describe and enable the fair and consistent enforcement of signs in the
town of Vail.
2. To encourage the establishment of well designed, creative signs that
enhance the unique character of Vail's village atmosphere.
3. To preserve a successful and high quality business environment that is aided
by signs that identify, direct, and inform.
4. To aid in providing for the growth of an orderly, safe, beautiful, and viable
community.
The purposes of the Sign Regulations can be generally summed up in one as:
to allow for a fair and adequate amount of signage that is well-designed,
successful and complementary to the Town. The variance will allow signs
and surrounding text to be scaled appropriately. The granting of this
variance clearly furthers these purposes.

Subject: Re: Solaris Sign Variance
Mr. Campbell,
My comments on the signage issue are for the existing codes be keep in place. A"building of this size"
should not inc�ease the signage in proportion to the facade which is quite large. The intent is not having
the signs visible from the International Bridge. The foot traffic will be very close to the signs and the 6 sq.
ft. signs should fit well with the exterior. Most visitors will soon know where Solaris is located thus
facilitating direction giving to a particular commercial establishment at Solaris by"the store you are looking
for is in the Solaris Building". We all want the merchants to fair well in todays business climate in Vail but
also need to keep the appeal of a clean, modern, ski village intact.
Best,
Thomas Bymes, President

Commissioners- �
I am writing to express my support for the sign variance at Solaris. Due to the size of the both the public
plaza and the building, I feel that the 6 sf signage limitation is too restrictive and creates signage that is
incompatible with the scale of the project. I am very excited by the plaza, art, and skating rink, but
understand how this can create difficulties for the retail uses and feel that some relief from the code will
benefit everyone involved. Thank you for this opportunity to express my support.
