Approved Chamonix Site Master Plan
Planning Goals and Design Parameters
(Updated following Town Council Final review and approval on March 4, 2008)
1. The site is to be used for development of a fire station and employee
housing.
2. Housing for fire department employees should be considered in the design of
the fire station.
3. An ambulance substation could be an ancillary use on this site.
4. Energy-efficient and sustainable design and construction techniques are
important. Certification by a particular program (LEED, Green Globes) is to
be investigated, although not mandatory.
5. Housing developed on the site should be primarily deed restricted, ‘for-sale’
employee housing, should include a mix of one, two, and three bedroom units
and should include limited rental opportunities for Town of Vail employees.
6. The site should be optimized to provide the greatest amount of employee
housing.
7. Re-zoning the property to the Housing (H) District is preferred to allow
flexibility in design and development.
8. Additional traffic onto Chamonix Lane should be limited.
9. One-story of development at grade with Chamonix Lane is acceptable.
10. All financing and phasing options will be considered.
11. New pedestrian circulation and access routes should be provided around the site, along Chamonix Road and/or Lane, to ensure connectivity of the surrounding neighborhood to other
areas within West Vail. Existing pedestrian paths through the site are to be eliminated.
