Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007 - Parking Management Plan
MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: October 2, 2007 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007, a resolution to adopt the Solaris Parking Management Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Maurielo Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell I. PURPOSE The purpose of this hearing is to review Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007, a resolution to adopt the Solaris Parking Management Plan, pursuant to the requirements of the Crossroads Development Agreement dated March 22, 2006, and setting forth details in regard thereto. II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007. III. BACKGROUND On March 22, 2006, the Town Council agreed to the Crossroads Development Agreement which addressed the many public aspects of the Solaris project. One of those aspects was the management of the 81 excess parking spaces in the subterranean garage which are a portion of the public benefit to offset the deviations that were approved. The Crossroads Development Agreement required that the applicant return to the Town Council for review and approval of the parking management plan prior to submitting for a building permit. This request is being proposed to satisfy that requirement. The following is the text of the Crossroads Development Agreement which addresses Parking Management. a. Parking Management. Before applying for a building permit for the Crossroads Project, Crossroads must submit and the Town Council must approve a parking management plan (the "Parking Management Plan') which sets forth, in sufficient detail, the proposed use, operation and management of the parking facility planned in connection with the Crossroads Project (the "Parking Facility'). The Town Council shall approve the Parking Management Plan so long as it is reasonably calculated to (i) maximize the use and occupancy of the Parking Facility and (ii) ensure that spaces not used by owners of residential condominium units or by commercial tenants or owners are available to the general public to the greatest extent possible. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Public Works Department has reviewed the submitted Solaris Parking Management Plan dated August 31, 2007, and the addendum dated September 19, 2007. The Public Works Department believes the plan will effectively function and operate in a manner to most highly utilize the excess parking within the project and the required parking in the project. On September 18, 2007, the Town Council voted unanimously to table this request to the October 2, 2007, public hearing, after discussion. The results of the discussion were as follows: • Inclusion of language identifying if there will be a greater number of parking passes sold than the actual number of parking spaces available in an effort to insure that the spaces are occupied more fully on a daily basis. • Inclusion of language into the management plan that discusses pricing of the available spaces and how that pricing would be competitive in order to keep the spaces filled. • Inclusion of language that states that no specific spaces will be sold or provide exclusively for any individual owner within the project. • Inclusion of greater detail on how the parking management plan will function, not just the mechanics. IV STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Vail Town Council approve Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007. V. ATTACHMENTS A.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, THAT: 1. The Council hereby approves the Solaris Parking Management Plan dated August 31, 2007, and the Addendum dated October 2, 2007, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A , and made a part hereof by this reference. 2. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon adoption. INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 2 nd day of October, 2007. Rodney E. Slifer, Town Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk C Resolution No. 22, Series 2007 Attachment A Mauriello Planning Group 5olarl5 Parking Management Plan Addendum October 2 2007 The developer's primary goal is to ensure that the 5olaris parking facility 15 managed in a manner that maximizes the use and occupancy of the parking spaces. As discussed below, the proposed parking management system will allow the owner to meet this objective and satisfy the changing needs of parking patrons in the Town of Vail. The parking management system 15 a fluid tool that enables the parking operator to measure garage use and offer different passes that take advantage of established parking patterns. Bank tenants may, for example, require the use of a certain number of spaces during the daytime. The parking management system permits the parking operator to limit bank use of such spaces to ordinary business hours and sell evening passes to patrons who only need parking access after the banks have closed for the day (i.e. chefs or bartenders working in Vail Village). The parking management system also allows the parking operator to meet the various day -to -day needs of the parking patrons visiting the commercial center. The Movie Theater operator will, by way of illustration, have the ability to provide its customers with parking validation equal to the length of a movie. Similarly, the bank will be able to offer parking validation equal to the length of a typical bank visit. It 15 in the owner's best interest to maximize the occupancy of the parking facility. The proposed parking management system gives Solaris the ability to understand the usage of the parking garage, therefore allowing for the flexibility to adapt the measured use. If the parking operator determines, for instance, that parking space use is unusually low in March, the parking operator can offer different products and incentives to increase March occupancy the following year. Historical data collected by the system will aid the owner /manager in making any future changes necessary to ensure the optimum use and occupancy of the parking facility. Goal of Parking Management Plan The goal of the parking management plan for Solaris is to maximize the use of the entire parking structure. The ultimate goal 15 to seek 100% utilization of parking spaces within the structure. Typically 100% 15 not really possible since customers and guests to the property are constantly coming and going and from a retail perspective we don't want there to be stagnant long -term users occupying parking spaces when there are paying customers who may want to park as well. The goal is to maximize turn over in parking spaces and achieving nearly 100% occupancy at peak periods in the winter ski season. Achieving the Goal of high OccupancX The ownership and management of the 5olari5 project and the parking facilities remains with the developer or other managing entity. 100% of the parking will be managed by this one entity. This ensures that no one user type controls the operation of the parking to the detriment of the other users. The following is a description of the different users of the parking facilities: • Residential Owners: Residential owners are guaranteed the right to park within the parking facility. however, they are not assigned a parking space. They have a right to use parking when in residence. Residential owners will have to check in with the concierge to activate their parking cards when in residence The card will expire at the end of their stay, ensuring that once no longer in residence, the parking space occupied by the resident is available for use by another user and thus ensuring that there will be no empty residential parking space during peak periods. However, for the duration of their stay, they will have guaranteed access to a parking space. • Commercial Tenants: Commercial tenants are afforded the opportunity to park within the parking facility. Commercial tenants are not assigned parking spaces and will utilize parking spaces as generally available to the public. Each tenant may be given as part of a negotiated lease, an AVI card to allow quick and easy access. The owner may establish short term parking spaces for tenants to allow for come and go activities and loading and delivery. • Parking Club Members: The 5olari5 project was approved with a certain number of parking spaces to be leased or managed as a parking club. The goal of the parking club is to maintain high occupancy rates within the facility consistent with the overall goal of the facility. In order to achieve near 100% occupancy, parking spaces will not be reserved. Instead, memberships are leased. The plan for the club is to over lease memberships beyond the number of club parking spaces and to make them available on a first come first serve bans. This is similar to what was approved on Vail Resorts' Front Door project. In year I at 5olari5, we estimate that parking club memberships will be leased anywhere from a ratio of 2.0:1 — 2.2:1 to ensure a near 100% occupancy rate during peak times of the year. This ratio 15 subject to change after year I based on the historical data collected from our Parking Management System. Additionally, if Club spaces are unoccupied for extended periods of time, those spaces can be made available to the general public. • Customers, Guests, and General Public: The parking facilities at 5olaris will be available to the general public for parking 24 hours a day, subject to certain rules and regulations (i.e., to prevent abandon vehicles, vandalism, etc.) unless the parking facility is full or is otherwise closed for maintenance. These users will pay a parking fee to use the facility. Parking Rates At the owner's discretion, rates may be set at a level that is marketable with the primary goal of a near 100% utilization of parking spaces within the structure. In order to achieve this type of occupancy rate, parking rates will be structured to strike a balance between parking revenues and occupancy. To ensure success of retail and restaurant usage within the Solaris project and to ensure adequate turn over of parking spaces, the owner may establish credits with a validation system. Enforcement The Town of Vail shall have the right to review this parking management plan in the future if it can be shown that the parking facility is being managed inconsistent with the objectives established in this parking management plan and the Development Agreement. The parking club operates based on the Planning and Environmental Commtssion's approval of the conditional use permit. Conditional use permits may be called up by the PEC, if the terms of the permit are not being met. Emergency Access The owner /manager of the facility will ensure that emergency vehicles and personnel on official business have access in and out of the parking facility through the use of an AV[ card or access code at the entrance/exit lanes of the garage. Parking Consultants LLC August 31, 2007 Solaris Vail Attn: Sharon Puczynski 2211 N. Frontage Rd. W Suite A Vail, CO 81657 • Functional Design • Parking Studies • Investigations • Structural Design Re: Solaris Parking Management Plan • • This document defines official parking management plan for Solaris. The goal of the Solaris Parking Operations is to maximize the availability of public parking. The Solaris parking garage is separated into three uses; public parking, residential parking and a private parking club. The lowest level (Garage Level) consists of the residential parking, parking club and public parking. Both Level 1 (Plaza Level) and Level 2 (Entry Level) are entirely dedicated to public parking. Entry/ Exit Lanes and Equipment Lane 1 (Entry Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to enter the parking area. Control equipment will be located at this entry point; it will allow the automatic vehicle identification (AVI) patrons to enter quickly and easily without having to handle or insert an access card. The gate will open when the AVI reader senses a valid card. There will also be equipment which will allow public parking patrons to receive a parking ticket and open the gate. 2. Lane 2 (Entry /Exit Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to either enter or exit the parking area dependant on the time of day or at the discretion of the operations manager. The dual functionality of the lane is to minimize the impact of traffic during busy times, i.e., mornings during ski season or Saturday and Sunday afternoons during winter and summer seasons. The same entry equipment from Lane 1 will be utilized in addition to a Pay on Foot system. This system operates without an attendant. The patron takes the ticket to a kiosk located in appropriate egress locations before returning to their vehicle, they pay the fee and receive the ticket back. When they arrive at the exit lane in their vehicle they insert the ticket into a ticket verifier, which then opens the gate allowing them to leave. Control equipment will also be located at this point to allow the AVI patrons to enter or exit quickly. 3. Lane 3 (Exit Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to exit the parking area. During the times Lane 2 performs as an exit lane, Lane 3 will only allow AVI patrons to exit. This will minimize the wait time at the exits for the residents and parking club patrons and eliminate congestion in the exit lanes. When Lane 2 performs as an entry lane, Lane 3 will return to functioning as an exit for the public patrons and AVI card holders. 3400 E Bayaud Avenue, Suite 300 - Denver CO 80209 - 303.355.1069 • www.parkingconsultantsllc.com Solaris Vail July 20, 2007 Page 2 • Parldng Guidance System (PGS) 1. The parking guidance system (PGS) will activate illuminated signage which will indicate the number of parking spaces available by level; it will also indicate the number of parking spaces by parking bay on the Garage Level. The variable message sign at the entry of the garage will alert patrons to the availability of space on each level. Level signs will be located at the end of each bay to keep patrons updated on the availability of spaces as they continue through the garage. This system has the capacity to publish Solaris parking availability to patrons via the internet. 2. The illuminated signage is being update by the parking guidance system which is being fed information from directional sensors. These directional sensors count vehicles and will be utilized in the entry /exit as well as in each bay of the garage. 3. The parking guidance system will provide information to a central computer in order to monitor the usage of particular areas within the garage. Additionally, this central computer will be used to control the gates allowing access into the private and parking club areas. For example, when it is determined that public parking patrons will be allowed to use the residential or parking club area of the garage, the central computer can send a signal to raise the gate. Automatic Vehicle Identification 1. Private and parking club patrons will enter and exit with AVI tags. Solaris will ensure that these tags are not shared between individuals. The AVI tags will be "tamper proof' and if they are removed from the vehicle windshield they are essentially destroyed and will not operate. Conversely, there will be parking patrons that will need an AVI card but only temporarily because some units will be rented out on a short term basis. 2. AVI reader equipment will control the gates that separate the parking club and private parking patrons from the public. These readers allow for quick and secure entry and exit and the readers will provide the central computer tracking of access by the AVI tags. As there will be times when public parking patrons will be allowed to park in the residential or parking club areas, the system will be designed to allow any vehicle to exit these areas even if they do not have an AVI tag. Residential Parking/ Parking Club To ensure that we maximize the usage of all parking spaces within the garage, Solaris will have operational measures in place to benefit the public parking patrons. We have developed a system in which the private parking areas will be open to the public on an availability basis. All residents or guests of Solaris will be required to check in with the Concierge in order to receive their temporary AVI card. After they have reported to the concierge, they will receive their AVI card. The AVI cards will be programmed in accordance with the length of their stay. This allows the management of the building to have an accurate count of how many owners and corresponding cars are and will be parked in the residential parking bays. No owner, unless a permanent resident, will have full access to the residential parking area. This operational tactic, in addition to the central computer system, will ensure the ability for public parking patrons to use both the residential parking bays and parking club when spaces are available. The following is an example of how the residential or parking club areas will work for public patrons: On the morning of a powder day, the public parking area is filling up quickly. The parking guidance system knows how many residents /guests can be accounted for within the gated residential parking bays. The • system knows that 108 spots are available for residence parking but that only 30 cars are registered to park in 3400 E Bayaud Avenue, Suite 300 • Denver CO 80209 - 303.355.1069 • www.parkingconsultantslic.com Solaris Vail July 20, 2007 Page 3 • that area. Therefore when the public parking is full, the gate to the residential parking will open and allow 78 cars in before closing. The same principal will be applied to the parking club bays. This system will always be monitored by the operations manager to make certain that the interest of the residence owners as well as parking patrons are accounted for.

The Public Works Department believes the plan will effectively function and operate in a manner to most highly utilize the excess parking within the project and the required parking in the project. However, there are two points of concern /question with the proposed plan that require additional discussion. The first being, that it appears that users of the parking will have to pay for their parking at a "Pay -on -Foot (POF) Station" prior to exiting the garage at which point a validated ticket would open the gate for exiting. It is unclear if the ability to pay for parking can occur at the exit gate, or will there be the possibility that a vehicle could get to the gate without a validated ticket and be unable to exit with cars stacking up behind them? The second being, that it is a little unclear how parking spaces in the residential parking area being utilized by vehicles not associated with the residential units, will become available when the demand for residential parking increases. How will parking demand for vehicles associated with the residential units be addressed in the even that the needed parking is occupied by vehicles not associated with the residential units? IV.

The following is an example of how the residential or parking club areas will work for public patrons: On the morning of a powder day, the public parking area is filling up quickly. The parking guidance system • knows how many residents /guests can be accounted for within the gated residential parking bays. The system knows that 108 spots are available for residence parking but that only 30 cars are registered to park in 3400 E Bayaud Avenue, Suite 300 • Denver CO 80209 - 303.355.1069 • www.parkingconsultantsllc.com Solaris Vail July 20, 2007 Page 3 • that area. Therefore when the public parking is full, the gate to the residential parking will open and allow 78 cars in before closing. The same principal will be applied to the parking club bays. This system will always be monitored by the operations manager to make certain that the interest of the residence owners as well as parking patrons are accounted for.
