Staff Questions Staff Questions • Should Ever Vail be included within the “commercial core” parking standards which allow for a reduction in the parking required? • What is the strategy for insuring that the required parking for each land use is utilized for the generator of that parking need? • How will parking decks, gates, and other control methods be utilized to allow/direct vehicles to the appropriate parking locations? • How will signage be done to direct owners, visitors/guest, skiers, shoppers, etc., to the parking spaces designated for the uses? • Should there be a parking requirement attributed to the creation of a new portal with a lift? Staff Questions • Should the public parking spaces be deeded to the Town and be on a separate parcel similar to the other structures? • What are the impacts of having a parking structure located at a primary structure not within the control of the Town? How will coordination occur without violating any monopoly/collusion laws? • Are 400 additional (excess) parking spaces adequate to support a new portal and lift? Are there opportunities for more? Should any surplus parking not associated with a land use be included in this count? • Who will have access to the loading and delivery facility? Town of Vail and special event promoters? What types of easements will be required? • What is the appropriate Level of Service (LOS) standard that should be implemented for the operation of a public parking structure? Questions?
