Works Department,dated January 16,2006, prior to submitting an application to the

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: September 14, 2009

amendment to Special Development District No.39,Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an additional
dwelling unit; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village
Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090026)
Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group, LLC
Planner: Warren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
The applicant,Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC,
is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major amendment
to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article 12-9(A), Special
Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the number of dwelling
units from 78 units to 79 units; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D,Vail
Village Filing 1. �
Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and adopted
criteria for review,the Communiry Development Department is recommending the Planning
and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval,with conditions
of the applicanYs request for a major amendment to Special Development District(SDD)No.
39,Crossroads,to the Vail Town Council. A complete summary of our review is provided in
Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed
major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9(A), Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the
number of dwelling units from 78 units to 79 units.
The key element of the proposed major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, include:
• An increase in the number of dwelling units from 78 to 79, resulting in no increase in
Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA). A proposed deviation from the allowable
number of dwelling units (47)which is 32 dwelling units greater.
The proposed new unit will replace the "support area" for staff depicted on the Approved
Level 3 floor plan behind the front desk service area. Support areas for staff have been
relocated to other areas of the Approved Promenade Level and the Proposed Level 3,which
are shown in blue. The proposed new unit measures 926 square feet and will be a one
bedroom with one full bathroom.
1 �
11 -3-1\n
� :
� . �
� The conversion of this space from common area to a dwelling unit does not result in an
increase in the GRFA on the site due to the loss of GRFA throughout the building as
structural and mechanical systems were fully designed to meet all Code requirements.
These areas where GRFA was lost are shown in red on each of the floor plans. There was
a total of 1,076 square feet of GRFA lost throughout the structure as wall widths increased,
mechanical chases were designed, and other Code compliance was achieved. Therefore
the conversion of the"support area"does not result in additional GRFA as approved within
the SDD.

Amendment to Special Development District No.39.Solaris,to allow for an increase from 78
to 79 dwellinQ units dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment A)and a reduced copy of the floor
plans and elevations dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment B) have been attached for
reference. A copy of draft Ordinance No. 20, Series of 2009, containing recommended

of Vail Village. Most importantly,this Master Plan shall serve as a guide to the staff, review
boards,and Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and
in legislating effective ordinances to deal with such development. Furthermore,the Master
Plan provides a clearly stated set of goals and objectives outlining how the Village will grow
in the future.
The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to serve as a guide to the staff, review boards and
Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and in legislating
effective ordinances to deal with such development. The most significant elements of the
Master Plan are the goals,objectives, policies and action steps. They are the working tools
of the Master Plan. They establish the broad framework and vision, but also layout the
specific policies and action steps that will be used to implement the Plan.

� As noted on page 35 of the Master Plan,
"It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those
proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan."
Staff believes this statement re-emphasizes that the Master Plan is a general document
providing advisory guidelines to aid the Town in analyzing development proposals and that
full compliance is not required in order for a project to be approved.
The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan which staff believes are applicable to this
application appear in Section VIII under staffs assessment of Criterion D.
Specific Sub-Area Details found in the Vail Village Master Plan
Mixed Use Sub Area (#1)
The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity.
There is a great deal of potential for improvements to both public and private facilities
in the area. Among these is the opportunity to develop gateway entries to the Village
at the 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive. It is also a
long term goal to strengthen the connection between this area and the Village core
�'`° area by reinforcing the established pedestrian linkages. Pedestrianization in this area
�r� may benefit from the development of retail infill with associated pedestrian
improvements along East Meadow Drive and the development of public access to
Gore Creek.
A significant increase in the Village's overnight bed base will occur in this sub-area
with the development of the final phase of the Vail Village Inn project. In addition,
commercial and residential/lodging development potential is identified in sub-area
concepts 3, 4, 6, and 8. The completion of these projects will essentially leave the
sub-area "built ouY'.
#1-6 Crossroads Infill
Commercia! infill over new underground parking lot in conjunction with a
large public plaza with greenspace area(existing and new parking demand
to be provided on site). While configuration of infill may be done a number of
ways, it is the overall intent to replace existing surface parking with
pedestrian corridors into a commercial area, as well as to provide a strong
building edge on Meadow Drive and streetscape improvements.
Improvements of the planted buffer adjacent to the Frontage Road is also
important. Relocafion of the loading and delivery functions and entry to
parking structure is strongly encouraged to reduce traffic on Meadow Drive.
Potential to improve fire access also exists in the redevelopment scheme.
Special emphasis on 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2.

VIII. THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT MAJOR AMENDMENT REVIEW PROCESS
Chapter 12-9 of the Town Code provides for the review of a major amendment to an
established special development districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1,
the purpose of a special development district is,
"To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use;to improve the design character and quality of the
new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities;to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas;and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail
� Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development
District, in conjunction with the property's underlying zone district shall establish the
requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the Special
Developmenf District."
The Town Code provides nine design criteria which shall be used in evaluating the merits of
a major amendment to an established SDD. It shall be the burden of the applicant to
demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan complywith each of
the following standards,or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable,or that a
practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The following is a
staff analysis of the projecYs compliance with the nine SDD review criteria:
A. Consideration of Factors ReqardinQ Special Development Districts:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
identity,character,visual integrity and orientation in great detail. As this proposal for a major
amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads,does not include any changes to the architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and
orientation of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on these review
points. As stated previously the major amendment proposes to increase the number of
dwelling units from 78 to 79 and includes no change to the approved GRFA. These
� 6 �
11 -3-6\n �
�
�
�
changes are accomplished within the approved bulk, mass, and height of the structure. �
There are no changes to the approved heights and setbacks of the structure.
Staff believes the proposed amendments comply with this criterion.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail,the uses, activity, and density of the redeveloped Crossroads site
and its compatibility to surrounding uses and activity. �n that analysis Staff showed how the
GRFA being proposed within the project was less than possible development potential of the
public plaza area in relation to the recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan on
height and density.
The proposal is to increase the number of dwelling units by one with no increase in GRFA
due to the offset crated by the progression of the structural and mechanical system design.
As this proposal is to convert 926 square feet of staff"support area"within the approved bulk
and mass, Staff does not believe there is a negative impact to the surrounding properties
with regard to density on the Solaris project with this amendment.
During the initial review of the Solaris project there was a great deal of discussion centered
on the uses and location of those uses within the project. It was identified in this
conversation that the primary purpose of the underlying zone district, Commercial Service
Center, is to provided for commerciaUretail development with"limited multiple-family dwelling
and lodge uses as may be appropriate without interfering with the basic commercial �
functions". The result of this conversation was an initial approval of 199,830 square feet of
GRFA and 69 dwelling units with 5 attached accommodation units. While staff is supporting
this request to convert 926 square feet of floor area to a condominium, there is a concern
that the development has already increased by nine units and if this request were approved
that would make it a 10 unit increase. If approved this would be a 14.4°/a increase over the
initial approval. Staff believes that as this request is reviewed it should be viewed from a
perspective of whether or not 79 units is appropriate for the site, not that it is just one
additional unit.
Emplovee Housinq Requirements
As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing
affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the
planning process for SDD proposals. In reviewing the proposal presented to the Planning
and Environmental Commission on January 23, 2006, for employee housing needs, staff
relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff
in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. That analysis showed a net new
generation of employees by the Crossroads project to be six(6)employee beds. In the most
recent approval of Ordinance No.21,Series of 2007,the Town Council required a total of 22
employee beds be provided off-site in conjunction with the Solaris project. The conversion
of the proposed 926 square foot meeting space to residential does not generate an increase
in the employee housing generation due to the allowable GRFA not being increased from
the approved 200,858 square feet.
Staff believes that the proposal does comply with this criterion.
7 �
11 -3-7�n
. , .
� C. Com liance with arkin and loadin re uirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of
P P 9 9 q
the Vail Town Code.
As indicated in the Zoning Analysis outlined in Section VI of this memorandum, the total
number of required parking spaces for the Crossroads project is 218 spaces. The
applicants are proposing to provide a total of 304 spaces, all of which are to be provided in
the proposed underground parking structure. There are 87 additional parking spaces
proposed to be constructed above and beyond that which is required. Of these additional
parking spaces there are 81 proposed to be in a private parking club and the remaining five
(5)the applicant is proposing will serve as additional public benefit.
The applicant has not proposed any changes to the compliant loading and delivery facility
associated with the project.
Staff believes that the application complies with this criterion.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan,Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan and how they applied to the Crossroads redevelopment. As
this proposal for a major amendment will affect the number of dwelling units on the site staff
will focus on this aspect of the proposal and its impact on this criterion.
� The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy
guidelines during the review process for the establishment of a special development district.
Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following goals and policies are
relevant to the review of this major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, proposal:
1.0 General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment,maintaining
a balance befinreen residential, commercial and recreational uses to
serve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas). `
4.0 Villa e Core/Lionshead �
9
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the
existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation
of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and
should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental quality.)
� 8
11 -3-8\n �'
�
5.0 Residential �
5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in
existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high
hazards do not exist.
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through
private efforts,assisted by lirnited incentives,provided by the Town of
Vail with appropriate restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands
for a full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and
upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be
accommodated at varied sites throughout the community.
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
Staff believes that the following stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to
this major amendment application:
Goal #2: To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-around
economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a
whole.
Objective 2.5: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and �
� maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better
serve the needs of our guests.
Staff believes that the application complies with all the goals and objectives of the Vail
Comprehensive plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
According to the Official Town of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps,the Crossroads development
site is not Iocated in any geologically sensitive areas. Staff believes that the application
complies with this criterion.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions in great detail. As this proposal for a major amendment to SDD No. 39,
Crossroads,does not include any changes to the site plan, building design and location and
open space provisions of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on
these review points.

� Staff believes the proposal complies with this criterion.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the vehicular and pedestrian circulation both on-site and off-site. As
the proposed major amendment does not affect these elements staff believes the proposal
continues to comply with this criterion.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the landscaping and open spaces included in the Crossroads
redevelopment. Furthermore the Design review Board provided their input on the refinement
of these spaces. As this proposed major amendment does not affect these elements staff
believes the proposal continues to comply with this criterion.
I. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development
district.
The applicant is proposing to construct the project in one phase and a subdivision of the
property will be necessary to facilitate the development of the Crossroads project.

I. Introducfion �
We are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, to allow
for the addition of a dwelling unit, increasing the total number of dwelling units from 78 to 79
dwelling units. The dwelling unit is being added at the lobby level in a space that was previously
considered support office for the project. There is adequate parking for this use. This change
has occurred as a result of continuing refinement to the project throughout the construction
process. A large storage area has been created in the loading dock area. Storage was previously
accommodated in areas adjacent to the lobby. Freeing up the storage space adjacent to the
lobby allows for these areas to become much more functional office spaces. The space that is
being converted to a unit was located inconveniently- physically separated from the lobby-and
required access to occur by entering the residential hallway. (See plans below, a full-sized set
has been submitted with this application).

This application for an additional dwelling unit does not increase the allowable GRFA currently
approved for the Solaris project. Changes to the interior of the building throughout the
construction project have eliminated a total of 1,076 sq. ft. of GRFA from the total GRFA of
existing units. Plans indicating where mechanical chases have been added and/or GRFA lost has
been submitted with this application. As a result, this new unit consisting of 926 sq. ft. of GRFA
will not increase the total approved GRFA of 200,858 sq. ft. In addition, there are no impacts to
the bulk and mass of the building, and no modifications to the exterior of the building. The new
unit is not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning regulations as no new GRFA is proposed. However,
the new unit does require additional parking, which is available as there is excess parking in the
project. A new parking analysis has been provided.
II. Background �
On lanuary 23, 2006, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended approval of
Special Development District No. 39, Solaris. In addition, conditional use permits were also
approved for a major arcade, a movie theater, meeting rooms and convention facilities, a
private club, a bowling alley, and an ice rink. In March of 2009, the Town Council voted to
approve the adoption of Ordinance 5, Series of 2006, approving the SDD and development plan �
for Solaris. Various amendments to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, have been �"
approved following its original adoption. Most recently, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2009, was
� SO�L�6 Major Amendment 2
11 -3-14\n �
�:
�
�
�
�
approved by the Town Council, allowing for the conversion of a commercial space on the �
promenade level to a residential dwelling unit. The current approval allows for 200,858 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and a total of 32,537 sq. ft. of net commercial floor area. This application does not
increase the allowable GRFA, but results in a total of 79 dwelling units. There are no other
changes associated with this amendment application.
This application increases the total number of dwelling units from the currently approved 78
dwelling units up to a total of 79 dwelling units. The total lot size of Solaris is 2.643 acres, and
the additional dwelling unit increases the density of the project from 29.51 dwelling units per
acre to 29.89 dwelling units per acre. The proposed unit is a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, of
approximately 926 sq. ft. As the building has progressed, this space is no longer necessary for
this function.
III. Parking Analysis
Solaris will meet and actually exceed the parking requirement as provided by the Town of Vail
Zoning Regulations. As currently proposed, 304 parking spaces are provided, while only 218
spaces are required for the uses on-site. The parking club still consists of 81 spaces (no change
from the previous approval) and there are 5 excess parking spaces remaining. A complete
parking analysis is provided below:

IV. Employee Housing Pian
Because there is no increase in the GRFA, the requirement for employee housing based on
Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, does not apply to this application.
V. Special Development District—Standards and Criteria
"The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the
development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design
character and quality of the new development with the Town; ro facilitate the adequate and
economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail
comprehensive plan."
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special Development
District. The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan adequately addresses each of these criteria.
Below is a summary of how the project implements each of these criteria.
A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relafive to architectural design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, idenfity,character,visual integrity and orientation.
� Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the design of the proposed building as a result of this proposal.
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan was designed to be compatible with the mountain
environment and the new trends in alpine architecture. While the site is not located in the area
regulated by the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, most of the recommendations and goals
of that plan are implemented by the proposed development plan. The site is located on the
periphery of the village adjacent to the South Frontage Road. The Vail Village Master Plan
recommends taller buildings be concentrated along the Frontage Road and step down toward �'
the village core. The proposed structures follow this guideline. The site is also being �
redeveloped in the context of recent approvals made by the Town on adjacent sites. The Vail �
Plaza Hotel and the Four Season projects have both been approved following the same general
concept of taller buildings along the Frontage Road. However,the Crossroads project, unlike the
other two, focuses more of the building bulk and mass along the Frontage Road in order to
maintain a large public plaza (1/2-acre in area) along the south side of the site. �
The proposed plan provides generous setbacks to adjacent development located to the west of �:
the site and the buildings are oriented to help maintain views in the area. The building was also �
designed to appear as several building forms. The roof ridges were turned north south to
prevent a long continuous roof ridge running east west across the site which has been fairly
common on other redevelopment projects. There are no major flat roofs proposed on this
structure.

The materials are of the highest quality and include Telluride Gold stacked stone, strip �
sandstone (laid on side), wood-like siding, dark zinc roof and siding elements,timber arches and
bracing, rolled logs, heavy deck rails, planter boxes, and proportional glazing. The proposed
materials are such high quality that maintenance is minimally required. The building was
designed to stand the test of time and to respond to the Rocky Mountain climate and harsh
conditions.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relafionship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analvsis:
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area of Town as mixed-use commercial and high
density residential. The proposed redevelopment plan responds to the uses already developed
in the neighborhood and also provides a high quality mix of uses along East Meadow Drive. The
proposed amendment does not change this vibrancy along East Meadow Drive.
C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in
Chapter 10 of this Title.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed redevelopment plan meets or exceeds all of the parking and loading standards
found in Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations. Please refer to other sections of this report and
the proposed development plan for details on parking and loading. In fact, a surplus of 5 spaces �
are being provided above and beyond the requirement for all uses on the site.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan,Town policies and urban design plans.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan complies with all relevant master planning
documents and Town policies. The plan also complies with relevant sections of the Urban
Design Guide Plan; however, this plan is not applicable to this site.
I
E. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Our Analvsis:
There are no natural or geologic hazards existing or mapped by the Town on the site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features,vegetafion and overall aesthetic quality of the community.

,SO`L�'26 Major Amendment 5 �
11 -3-17�n
, ;
. . .
� There are no changes to the above-reference design features as a result of this proposaL �
The Solaris site has been developed for more than 30 years and therefore there are no natural
features on the site and little in terms of vegetation. The proposed project was designed to
reflect mountain alpine architecture, the alpine climate, and quality demanded by the Town.
The project was also developed around the master plan direction and the community desire to
extend a public plaza into the site. The proposed plan includes a large open plaza (nearly 20%
of the area of the entire site). This 1/2-acre plaza will improve the Town's ability to �
accommodate outdoor gatherings and events. The proposed landscape plan introduces
additional trees and vegetation in meaningful locations throughout the site to improve the �
aesthefics of the site and the surrounding area.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Our Analysis:
The proposed amendment has no impact on this criterion. �
The Solaris project has been designed to address three major issues within the Town: �,
availability and adequacy of parking; pedestrian circulation and gathering; and loading and
delivery. A long-standing goal of the Town is to remove loading and delivery entering the Solaris
site through E. Meadow Drive and require access directly to the South Frontage Road. The
� proposed plan includes a new, enclosed loading dock facility that is accessed directly from the
South Frontage Road. The loading facility includes five loading berths, the maximum required
by the Town Code for a mixed-use faciliry. The loading dock also includes a trash facility for the �:
project. The loading dock provides access to grade on the west side of the site to allow for use �`
by merchants on adjacent sites. �
�,
All of the parking for the site is accessed from Village Center Road. All of the parking is located �
below grade. The control gate for the site is located deep within the garage to prevent cars �
from stacking into Village Center Road. Cars exiting the facility cue within the parking structure, �
thus preventing any blocking of traffic on Village Center Road. Additionally, there is a porte �,`
cochere along the South Frontage Road for residential guests arriving at the site. The porte �
cochere will provide temporary pick-up for guests and valet parking. A traffic report is included �
in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project and, as agreed previously in the DIA, a �'
�
new letter amending the analysis will be provided as the commercial uses are finalized. This �
report indicates that all roadways adjacent to the site have excess capacity upon completion of
this redevelopment project. There is no need for major roadway improvements due to the
traffic generated for the proposed uses on-site. There is no vehicular access proposed to the
East Meadow Drive frontage of the site. �
The pedestrian improvements associated with this site are extensive. Pedestrian access is �
provided on all adjacent roadways and between the VVI project and the Solaris site. The �
applicant is proposing a significant public plaza on the site that will allow for pedestrian traffic �
and public gatherings. �

H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to �
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation,views and function.
Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the landscaping as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris project is currently developed with buildings, structured parking, and surface
parking. There is very little existing landscaping on the property. The site is located within an
urban setting which presents challenges in terms of providing landscape areas and materials.
Retail, plaza areas and gathering places, and pedestrian walks all compete with landscape
improvements. However, the proposed redevelopment plan for Solaris provides significant
landscape materials in strategic locations which do not interfere with retail store fronts or
needed gathering spaces. The proposed hardscape areas of the site provide an aesthetic quality
not currently existing in the area. The proposed development plan and landscape plan optimize
the site as a gathering space, a recreafion complex, and as a place to sit and view the
surrounding urban fabric.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the phasing of this project as a result of the proposed major �
amendment. The project is proposed to be developed in one phase.

SUBJECT: A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major
amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an additional
dwelling unit; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village
Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PECb90026)
Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group, LLC �
Planner: Warren Campbell

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC,
is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major amendment �:,
to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article 12-9(A), Special �'
Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the number of dwelling �''
units from 78 units to 79 units; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail
Village Filing 1. �
�
Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and adopted
criteria for review,the Community Development Department is recommending the Planning
and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval,with conditions
of the applicant's request for a major amendment to Special Development District(SDD)No.
39, Crossroads,to the Vail Town Council. A complete summary of our review is provided in
Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST �'
The applicant is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed
major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9(A), Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the
number of dwelling units from 78 units to 79 units. �
�
The key element of the proposed major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads,include:
• An increase in the number of dwelling units from 78 to 79, resulting in no increase in �
Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA). A proposed deviation from the allowable
number of dwelling units (47) which is 32 dwelling units greater.
The proposed new unit will replace the "support area for staff depicted on the Approved �'
�,
Level 3 floor plan behind the front desk service area. Support areas for staff have been �`
relocated to other areas of the Approved Promenade Level and the Proposed Level 3,which �
are shown in btue. The proposed new unit measures 926 square feet and will be a one
� bedroom with one full bathroom. �
1 �
�
�
:
y
�
�:
: .
, . . �
The conversion of this space from common area to a dwelling unit does not result in an �
increase in the GRFA on the site due to the loss of GRFA throughout the building as
structural and mechanical systems were fully designed to meet all Code requirements.
These areas where GRFA was lost are shown in red on each of the floor plans. There was
a total of 1,076 square feet of GRFA lost throughout the structure as wall widths increased,
mechanical chases were designed, and other Code compliance was achieved. Therefore
the conversion of the"support area" does not result in additional GRFA as approved within
the SDD.
A copy of the text detailing the application entitled Solaris: Application for a Maior
Amendment to Special Development District No,39, Solaris,to allow for an increase from 78
to 79 dwellinq units dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment A)and a reduced copy of the floor
plans and elevations dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment B) have been attaclied for
reference. A copy of draft Ordinance No. 20, Series of 2009, containing recommended
conditions is attached for reference (Attachment C).
Pursuant to Section 12-9A-9, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, the applicant is
requesting a major amendment to the SDD No. 39, Crossroads, to request changes in the
deviation from the prescribed development standards for density (number of units)

� V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
The Vail Village Master Plan is based on the premise that the Village can be planned and
designed as a whole. It is intended to guide the Town in developing land use laws and
policies for coordinating development by the public and private sectors in Vail Village and in
implementing community goals for public improvements. It is intended to result in
ordinances and policies that will preserve and improve the unified and attractive appearance -
of Vail Village. Most importantly,this Master Plan shall serve as a guide to the staff, review
boards, and Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and
in legislating effective ordinances to deal with such development. Furthermore,the Master
Plan provides a clearly stated set of goals and objectives outlining how the Village will grow
in the future.
The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to senre as a guide to the staff, review boards and
Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and in legislating
effective ordinances to deal with such development. The most significant elements of the
Master Plan are the goals, objectives, policies and action steps. They are the working tools
of the Master Plan. They establish the broad framework and vision, but also layout the
specific policies and action steps that will be used to implement the Plan
�
3
. ,
, . , �
As noted on page 35 of the Master Plan, �
"It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those
proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan."
Staff believes this statement re-emphasizes that the Master Plan is a general document
providing advisory guidelines to aid the Town in analyzing development proposals and that
full compliance is not required in order for a project to be approved.
The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Planwhich staff believes are applicable to this
application appear in Section VIII under staff's assessment of Criterion D.
Specific Sub-Area Details found in the Vail Village Master Plan
Mixed Use Sub Area (#1)
The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity.
There is a great deal of potential forimprovements to both public and private facilities
in the area. Among these is the opportunity to develop gateway entries to the Village
at the 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive. It is a/so a
long term goal to strengthen the connection between this area and the Village core �
area by reinforcing the established pedestrian linkages. Pedest►ianization in this area
may benefit from the development of retail infill with associated pedestrian
improvements along East Meadow Drive and the development of public access to
Gore Creek.
A significant increase in the Village's overnight bed base will occur in this sub-area
with the development of the final phase of the Vail Village Inn project. In addition,
commercial and residential/lodging development potential is identified in sub-area
concepts 3, 4, 6, and 8. The completion of these projects will essentially leave the
sub-area "built ouY'.
#1-6 Crossroads Infill
Commercial infill over new underground parking lot in conjunction with a
large public plaza with greenspace area (existing and new parking demand
to be provided on site). While configuration of infill may be done a number of
ways, it is the overall intent to replace existing surface parking with
pedestrian corridors into a commercial area, as well as to provide a strong
building edge on Meadow Drive and streetscape improvements.
Improvements of the planted buffer adjacent to the Frontage Road is a/so
important. Relocation of the loading and delivery functions and entry to
parking structure is strongly encouraged to reduce traffic on Meadow Drive.
Potential to improve fire access also exists in the redevelopment scheme.
Special emphasis on 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2.

VIII. THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTMAJOR AMENDMENTREVIEW PROCESS
Chapter 12-9 of the Town Code provides for the review of a major amendment to an
established special development districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1,
the purpose of a special development district is,
"To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use;to improve the design character and quality of the
new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities;to preserve the natura!and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail �
Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Specia/Development
District, in conjunction with the property's underlying zone district, shall establish the
requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the Special
Development District."
The Town Code provides nine design criteria which shall be used in evaluating the merits of
a major amendment to an established SDD. It shall be the burden of the applicant to
demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of
the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a
practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The following is a
staff analysis of the project's compliance with the nine SDD review criteria:
A. Consideration of Factors Reqardinq Special Development Districts
A. Design compatibilityand sensitivitytothe immediateenvironment, neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
identity,character,visual integrity and orientation in great detail. As this proposal for a major
amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, does not include any changes to the architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and
orientation of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on these review
points. As stated previously the major amendment proposes to increase the number of �
dwelling units from 78 to 79 and includes no change to the approved GRFA. These
6
. s
. . �
- �j;
changes are accomplished within the approved bulk, mass, and height of the structure.
� There are no changes to the approved heights and setbacks of the structure.
Staff believes the proposed amendments comply wth this criterion.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail, the uses, activity,and density of the redeveloped Crossroads site
and its compatibilityto surrounding uses and activity. In that analysis Staff showed how the
GRFA being proposed within the project was less than possible development potential of the
public plaza area in relation to the recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan on
height and density.
The proposal is to increase the number of dwelling units by one with no increase in GRFA
due to the offset crated by the progression of the structural and mechanical system design.
As this proposal is to convert 926 square feet of staff"support area"within the approved bulk
and mass, Staff does not believe there is a negative impact to the surrounding properties
with regard to density on the Solaris project with this amendment.
During the initial review of the Solaris project there was a great deal of discussion centered
on the uses and location of those uses within the project. It was identified in this
conversation that the primary purpose ofthe underlying zone district, Commercial Service
Center, is to provided for commercial/retail development with"limited multiple-family dwelling
and lodge uses as may be appropriate without interfering with the basic commercial
� functions" The result of this conversation was an initial approval of 199,830 square feet of
GRFA and 69 dwelling units with 5 attached accommodation units. While staff is supporting
this request to convert 926 square feet of floor area to a condominium, there is a concern
that the development has already increased by nine units and if this request were approved
that would make it a 10 unit increase. If approved this would be a 14.4% increase over the
initial approval. Staff believes that as this request is reviewed it should be viewed from a
perspective of whether or not 79 units is appropriate for the site, not that it is just one
additional unit.
Emplovee Housinq Repuirements �
As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing
affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the
planning process for SDD proposals. In reviewing the proposal presented to the Planning
and Environmental Commission on January 23, 2006, for employee housing needs, staff
relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff
in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. That analysis showed a net new
generation of employees by the Crossroads project to be six(6)employee beds. In the most
recent approval of Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2007,the Town Council required a total of 22
employee beds be provided off-site in conjunction with the Solaris project. The conversion
of the proposed 926 square foot meeting space to residential does not generate an increase �
in the employee housing generation due to the allowable GRFA not being increased from �'
the approved 200,858 square feet. �
� Staff believes that the proposal does comply with this criterion. �
7
�
: .
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of �
the Vail Town Code.
As indicated in the Zoning Analysis outlined in Section VI of this memorandum, the total
number of required parking spaces for the Crossroads project is 218 spaces. The
applicants are proposing to provide a total of 304 spaces, all of which are to be provided in
the proposed underground parking structure. There are 87 additional parking spaces
proposed to be constructed above and beyond that whichis required. Of these additional
parking spaces there are 81 proposed to be in a private parking club and the remaining five
(5) the applicant is proposing will serve as additional public benefit.
The applicant has not proposed any changes to the compliant loading and delivery facility
associated with the project.
Staff believes that the application complies with this criterion.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan and how they applied to the Crossroads redevelopment. As
this proposal for a major amendment will affect the number of dwelling units on the site staff
will focus on this aspect of the proposal and its impact on this criterion.
The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy ,,�
guidelines during the review process for the establishment of a special development district.
Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following goals and policies are
relevant to the review of this major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads,proposal:
1.0 General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining
a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to
serve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
4.0 Village Core / Lionshead
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the
existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation
of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and
should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental quality.)

I. Introduction
We are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, to allow
for the addition of a dwelling unit, increasing the total number of dwelling units from 78 to 79
dwelling units. The dwelling unit is being added at the lobby level in a space that was previously
considered support office for the project. There is adequate parking for this use. This change
has occurred as a result of continuing refinement to the project throughout the construction
process. A large storage area has been created in the loading dock area. Storage was previously
accommodated in areas adjacent to the lobby. Freeing up the storage space adjacent to the
lobby allows for these areas to become much more functional ofFice spaces. The space that is
being converted to a unit was located inconveniently- physically separated from the lobby- and
required access to occur by entering the residential hallway. (See plans below, a full-sized set
has been submitted with this application).

This application for an addifional dwelling unit does not increase the allowable GRFA currently
approved for the Solaris project. Changes to the interior of the building throughout the
construction project have eliminated a total of 1,076 sq. ft. of GRFA from the total GRFA of
existing units. Plans indicating where mechanical chases have been added and/or GRFA lost has
been submitted with this application. As a result, this new unit consisting of 926 sq. ft. of GRFA
will not increase the total approved GRFA of 200,858 sq. ft. In addition, there are no impacts to
the bulk and mass of the building, and no modificafions to the exterior of the building. The new
unit is not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning regulations as no new GRFA is proposed. However,
the new unit does require additional parking, which is available as there is excess parking in the
project. A new parking analysis has been provided.
11. Background
On January 23, 2006, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended approval of
Special Development District No. 39, Solaris. In addition, conditional use permits were also
approved for a major arcade, a movie theater, meeting rooms and convention facilities, a
private club, a bowling alley, and an ice rink. In March of 2009, the Town Council voted to
approve the adoption of Ordinance 5, Series of 2006, approving the SDD and development plan
for Solaris. Various amendments to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, have been
approved following its original adoption. Most recently, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2009, was
.Sl�L�7`l6 Major Amendment 2 �
' •' �;
� . .
� wi f r th conversion of a commercial s ace on the
approved by the Town Counal, allo ng o e p
promenade level to a residential dwelling unit. The current approval allows for 200,858 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and a total of 32,537 sq. ft. of net commercial floor area. This application does not
increase the allowable GRFA, but results in a total of 79 dwelling units. There are no other
changes associated with this amendment application.
This application increases the total number of dwelling units from the currently approved 78
dwelling units up to a total of 79 dwelling units. The total lot size of Solaris is 2.643 acres, and
the additional dwelling unit increases the density of the project from 29.51 dwelling units per
acre to 29.89 dwelling units per acre. The proposed unit is a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, of
approximately 926 sq. ft. As the building has progressed, this space is no longer necessary for
this function.
II1. Parking Analysis
Solaris will meet and actually exceed the parking requirement as provided by the Town of Vail
Zoning Regulations. As currently proposed, 304 parking spaces are provided, while only 218
spaces are required for the uses on-site. The parking club still consists of 81 spaces (no change
from the previous approval) and there are 5 excess parking spaces remaining. A complete
parking analysis is provided below:

IV. Employee Housing Plan
Because there is no increase in the GRFA, the requirement for employee housing based on
Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, does not apply to this application.
V. Special Development District—Standards and Criteria
"The purpose of the special devefopment district is to encourage flexibi/ity and creativity in the
development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design
character and quality of the new development with the Town; to facilitate the adequate and
economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail
comprehensive plan."
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special Development
District. The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan adequately addresses each of these criteria.
Below is a summary of how the project implements each of these criteria.
A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character,visual integrity and orientation.
Our Analvsis: �
There are no changes to the design of the proposed building as a result of this proposal.
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan was designed to be compatible with the mountain
environment and the new trends in alpine architecture. While the site is not located in the area
regulated by the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, most of the recommendations and goals
of that plan are implemented by the proposed development plan. The site is located on the
periphery of the village adjacent to the South Frontage Road. The Vail Village Master Plan
recommends taller buildings be concentrated along the Frontage Road and step down toward
the village core. The proposed structures follow this guideline. The site is also being
redeveloped in the context of recent approvals made by the Town on adjacent sites. The Vail
Plaza Hotel and the Four Season projects have both been approved following the same general
concept of taller buildings along the Frontage Road. However,the Crossroads project, unlike the
other two, focuses more of the building bulk and mass along the Frontage Road in order to
maintain a large public plaza (1/2-acre in area) along the south side of the site.
The proposed plan provides generous setbacks to adjacent development located to the west of
the site and the buildings are oriented to help maintain views in the area. The building was also
designed to appear as several building forms. The roof ridges were turned north south to
prevent a long continuous roof ridge running east west across the site which has been fairly
common on other redevelopment projects. There are no major flat roofs proposed on this
structure.
,SOYQ�Z�'Major Amendment 4 �
�
, �
� The materials are of the hi hest ualit and include Teiluride Gol s k
g q y d tac ed stone, strip
sandstone (laid on side), wood-like siding, dark zinc roof and siding elements, timber arches and
bracing, rolled logs, heavy deck rails, planter boxes, and proportional glazing. The proposed
materials are such high quality that maintenance is minimally required. The building was
designed to stand the test of time and to respond to the Rocky Mountain climate and harsh
conditions.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analvsis:
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area of Town as mixed-use commercial and high
density residential. The proposed redevelopment plan responds to the uses already developed
in the neighborhood and also provides a high quality mix of uses along East Meadow Drive. The
proposed amendment does not change this vibrancy along East Meadow Drive.
C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in
Chapter 10 of this Title.
Our Analvsis: �
The proposed redevelopment plan meets or exceeds all of the parking and loading standards
found in Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations. Please refer to other sections of this report and
� the proposed development plan for details on parking and loading. In fact, a surplus of 5 spaces
are being provided above and beyond the requirement for all uses on the site.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan,Town policies and urban design plans.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan complies with all relevant master planning
documents and Town policies. The plan also complies with relevant sections of the Urban
Design Guide Plan; however, this plan is not applicable to this site.
�:
E. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Our Analvsis:
There are no natural or geologic hazards existing or mapped by the Town on the site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features,vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Our Analvsis:
4 �
� SUL�7'Z6 Major Amendment 5
�',
�`:
�>
There are no changes to the above-reference design features as a result of this proposal. �
The Solaris site has been developed for more than 30 years and therefore there are no natural
features on the site and little in terms of vegetation. The proposed project was designed to
reflect mountain alpine architecture, the alpine climate, and quality demanded by the Town.
The project was also developed around the master plan direction and the community desire to
extend a public plaza into the site. The proposed plan includes a large open plaza (nearly 20%
of the area of the entire site). This 1/2-acre plaza will improve the Town's ability to
accommodate outdoor gatherings and events. The proposed landscape plan introduces
additional trees and vegetation in meaningful locations throughout the site to improve the
aesthetics of the site and the surrounding area.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed amendment has no impact on this criterion.
The Solaris project has been designed to address three major issues within the Town:
availability and adequacy of parking; pedestrian circulation and gathering; and loading and
delivery. A long-standing goal of the Town is to remove loading and delivery entering the Solaris
site through E. Meadow Drive and require access directly to the South Frontage Road. The
proposed plan includes a new, enclosed loading dock facility that is accessed directly from the �
South Frontage Road. The loading facility includes five loading berths, the maximum required
by the Town Code for a mixed-use facility. The loading dock also includes a trash facility for the
project. The loading dock provides access to grade on the west side of the site to allow for use
by merchants on adjacent sites.
All of the parking for the site is accessed from Village Center Road. All of the parking is located
below grade. The control gate for the site is located deep within the garage to prevent cars
from stacking into Village Center Road. Cars exiting the facility cue within the parking structure,
thus preventing any blocking of traffic on Village Center Road. Additionally, there is a porte
cochere along the South Frontage Road for residential guests arriving at the site. The porte
cochere will provide temporary pick-up for guests and valet parking. A traffic report is included
in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project and, as agreed previously in the DIA, a
new letter amending the analysis will be provided as the commercial uses are finalized. This
report indicates that all roadways adjacent to the site have excess capacity upon completion of
this redevelopment project. There is no need for major roadway improvements due to the
traffic generated for the proposed uses on-site. There is no vehicular access proposed to the
East Meadow Drive frontage of the site.
The pedestrian improvements associated with this site are extensive. Pedestrian access is
provided on all adjacent roadways and between the VVI project and the Solaris site. The
applicant is proposing a significant public plaza on the site that will allow for pedestrian traffic
and public gatherings.
.5�7'16 Major Amendment 6 �
. ;
� H. Landsca in : Functional and aesthetic landsca in and o en s ace in order to
P g P g P p
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation,views and function.
Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the landscaping as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris project is currently developed with buildings, structured parking, and surface
parking. There is very little existing landscaping on the property. The site is located within an
urban seiting which presents challenges in terms of providing landscape areas and materials.
Retail, plaza areas and gathering places, and pedestrian walks all compete with landscape
improvements. However, the proposed redevelopment plan for Solaris provides significant
landscape materials in strategic locations which do not interfere with retail store fronts or
needed gathering spaces. The proposed hardscape areas of the site provide an aesthetic quality
not currently existing in the area. The proposed development plan and landscape plan optimize
the site as a gathering space, a recreation complex, and as a place to sit and view the
surrounding urban fabric.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the phasing of this project as a result of the proposed major
�' amendment. The project is proposed to be developed in one phase.

permit);
1. The Developer shall submit a final exterior building materials list,typical wall section,
Ordinance No.20, Series 2009 3
�
architectural specifications, and a complete color rendering for review and approval
of the Design Review Board, prior to submittal of an application for a building permit.
2. The Developer shall submit a rooftop mechanical equipment plan for review and �
approval by the Design Review Board prior to the submittal of a building permit
application. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be incorporated into the overall
design of the structure and enclosed and visually screened from public view.
3. The Developer shall receive all the required permits from the Colorado Department
of Transportation(CDOT)prior to submitting for a building permit. Failure to receive
the appropriate permits to access the South Frontage Road per the Approved
Development Plan will require the project to return through the special development
district review process.
4. The Developer shall comply with the written final comments of the Town of Vail
Public Works Department outlined in the memorandum from the Town of Vail Public
Works Department,dated January 16, 2006, prior to submitting an application to the
Town of Vail Community Department for the issuance of a building permit for this
project.
5. The Developer shall submit a written letter agreeing to install a public safety radio
communications system within the subterranean parking structure which meets the
specifications of the Town of Vail Communications Center. The specifications and
details of this system shall be submitted to staff for review and approval with the

number of condominium units from 75 to 77, states that the net peak increase is 81
trips, 13 more trips than in the original approved traffic study dated November 2005.
Since the usage of the commercial space is still in flux the Public Works Department
will require that a new study be performed prior to the issuance of a full building
permit to address the traffic generation created by the specific tenants that will lease
the commercial/retail space within the project. This change may cause the trip
generation to increase. The applicant shall be responsible for mitigating the number
of net peak trip increases depicted in the revised study. This impact fee shall not be

toward the completion of the project. If the developer doesnot begin and diligently

� MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: September 14, 2009
SUBJECT: A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major
amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an additional
dwelling unit; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village
Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEOD90026)
Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group, LLC
Planner: Warren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC,
is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed major amendment
to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article 12-9(A), Special
Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the number of dwelling
� units from 78 units to 79 units; located at 141 and 143 Meadow Drive/Lot P, Block 5D, Vail
Village Filing 1.
Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and adopted
criteria for review,the Community Development Department is recommending the Planning
and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval,with conditions
of the applicant's request for a major amendment to Special Development District(SDD) No.
39, Crossroads,to the Vail Town Council. A complete summary of our review is provided in
Section VIII of this memorandum.
11. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a proposed
major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article
12-9(A), Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in the
number of dwelling units from 78 units to 79 units.
The key element of the proposed major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads,include:
• An increase in the number of dwelling units from 78 to 79, resulting in no increase in
Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA). A proposed deviation from the allowable
number of dwelling units (47) which is 32 dwelling units greater.
The proposed new unit will replace the "support area" for staff depicted on the Approved
Level 3 floor plan behind the front desk service area. Support areas for staff have been
relocated to other areas of the Approved Promenade Level and the Proposed Level 3,which
i� are shown in blue. The proposed new unit measures 926 square feet and will be a one
`r bedroom with one full bathroom.
1
.
• .• ' �r
The conversion of this space from common area to a dwelling unit does not result in an �
increase in the GRFA on the site due to the loss of GRFA throughout the building as
structural and mechanical systems were fully designed to meet all Code requirements.
These areas where GRFA was lost are shown in red on each of the floor plans. There was
a total of 1,076 square feet of GRFA lost throughout the structure as wall widths increased,
mechanical chases were designed, and other Code compliance was achieved. Therefore
the conversion of the"support area" does not result in additional GRFA as approved within
the SDD.
A copy of the text detailing the application entitled Solaris: Application for a Malor
Amendment to Special Development District No 39 Solaris to allow for an increase from 78
to 79 dwellinq units dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment A) and a reduced copy of the floor
plans and elevations dated August 10, 2009, (Attachment B) have been attaclied for
reference. A copy of draft Ordinance No. 20, Series of 2009, containing recommended
conditions is attached for reference (Attachment C).
Pursuant to Section 12-9A-9, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, the applicant is
requesting a major amendment to the SDD No. 39, Crossroads, to request changes in the
deviation from the prescribed development standards for density (number of units)

V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
The Vail Village Master Plan is based on the premise that the Village can be planned and
designed as a whole. It is intended to guide the Town in developing land use laws and
policies for coordinating development by the public and private sectors in Vail Village and in
implementing community goals for public improvements. It is intended to result in
ordinances and policies that will preserve and improve the unified and attractive appearance
of Vail Village. Most importantly,this Master Plan shall serve as a guide to the staff, review
boards, and Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and
in legislating effective ordinances to deal with such development. Furthermore,the Master
Plan provides a clearly stated set of goals and objectives outlining how the Village will grow
in the future.
The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to serve as a guide to the stafF, review boards and
Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and in legislating
effective ordinances to deal with such development. The most significant elements of the
Master Plan are the goals, objectives, policies and action steps. They are the working tools
of the Master Plan. They establish the broad framework and vision, but also layout the
specific policies and action steps that will be used to implement the Plan

• • ' J
As noted on page 35 of the Master Plan, �
"It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those
proposals that can fully comply with fhe Vail Village Master Plan."
Staff believes this statement re-emphasizes that the Master Plan is a general document
providing advisory guidelines to aid the Town in analyzing development proposais and that
full compliance is not required in order for a project to be approved.
The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan which staff believes are applicable to this
application appear in Section VIII under staff's assessment of Criterion D.
Specific Sub-Area Details found in the Vail Village Master Plan
Mixed Use Sub Area (#1)
The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity.
There is a great deal of potential forimprovements to both public and private facilities
in the area. Among these is the opportunity to develop gateway entries to the Village
at the 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive. !t is also a
long term goa!to strengthen the connection between this area and the Village core
area by reinforcing the established pedestrian linkages. Pedestrianization in this area „�
may benefit from the development of retail infill with associated pedestrian
improvements along East Meadow Drive and the development of public access to
Gore Creek.
A significant increase in the Village's overnight bed base will occur in this sub-area
with the development of the final phase of the Vail Village Inn project. In addition,
commercial and residential/lodging development potential is identified in sub-area
concepts 3, 4, 6, and 8. The completion of these projects wil!essentially leave fhe
sub-area "built out".
#1-6 Crossroads Infill
Commercial infill over new underground parking lot in conjunction with a
large public plaza with greenspace area (existing and new parking demand
to be provided on site). While configuration ofinfill maybe done a numberof
ways, it is the overall intent to replace existing surface parking with
pedestrian corridors into a commercial area, as well as to provide a sfrong
building edge on Meadow Drive and streetscape improvements.
Improvements of the planted buffer adjacent to the Frontage Road is also
important. Relocation of the loading and delivery functions and entry to
parking structure is strongly encouraged to reduce traffic on Meadow Drive.
Potential to improve fire access also exists in the redevelopment scheme.
Special emphasis on 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2.

VIII. THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTMAJOR AMENDMENTREVIEW PROCESS
Chapter 12-9 of the Town Code provides for the review of a major amendment to an
established special development districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1,
the purpose of a special development district is,
"To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design characterand quality of the
new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities;to preserve the natural and scenic feafures of open
space areas; and to further fhe overall goa/s of the community as stated in the Vail �
Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development
District, in conjunction with the property's underlying zone district, shall esfab/ish the
requirements for guiding developmenf and uses of property included in the Special
Development District."
The Town Code provides nine design criteria which shall be used in evaluating the merits of
a major amendment to an established SDD. It shall be the burden of the applicant to
demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of
the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a
practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The following is a
staff analysis of the project's compliance with the nine SDD review criteria:
A. Consideration of Factors Reqardinq Special Development Districts
A. Design compatibilityand sensitivityto the immediate environment,neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
identity,character,visual integrity and orientation in great detail. As this proposal for a major
amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, does not include any changes to the architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and
orientation of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on these review
points. As stated previously the major amendment proposes to increase the number of
dwelling units from 78 to 79 and includes no change to the approved GRFA. These ""�
6
� changes are accomplished within the approved bulk, mass, and height of the structure.
There are no changes to the approved heights and setbacks of the structure.
Staff believes the proposed amendments compiy wth this criterion.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail, the uses, activity,and density of the redeveloped Crossroads site
and its compatibilityto surrounding uses and activity. In that analysis Staff showed how the
GRFA being proposed within the project was less than possible development potential of the
public plaza area in relation to the recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan on
height and density.
The proposal is to increase the number of dwelling units by one with no increase in GRFA
due to the offset crated by the progression of the structural and mechanical system design.
As this proposal is to convert 926 square feet of staff"support area"within the approved bulk
and mass, Staff does not believe there is a negative impact to the surrounding properties
with regard to density on the Solaris project with this amendment.
During the initial review of the Solaris project there was a great deal of discussion centered
on the uses and location of those uses within the project. It was identified in this
conversation that the primary purpose ofthe underlying zone district, Commercial Service
� Center, is to provided for commercial/retail development with"limited multiple-family dwelling
and /odge uses as may be appropriate without interfering with the basic commercial
functions". The result of this conversation was an initial approval of 199,830 square feet of
GRFA and 69 dwelling units with 5 attached accommodation units. While staff is supporting
this request to convert 926 square feet of floor area to a condominium, there is a concern
that the development has already increased by nine units and if this request were approved
that would make it a 10 unit increase. If approved this would be a 14.4% increase over the
initial approval. Staff believes that as this request is reviewed it should be viewed from a
perspective of whether or not 79 units is appropriate for the site, not that it is just one
additional unit.
Emplovee Housinq Requirements
As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing
affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the
planning process for SDD proposals. In reviewing the proposal presented to the Planning
and Environmental Commission on January 23, 2006, for employee housing needs, staff
relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff
in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. That analysis showed a net new
generation of employees by the Crossroads project to be six(6)employee beds. In the most
recent approval of Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2007,the Town Council required a total of 22
employee beds be provided off-site in conjunction with the Solaris project. The conversion
of the proposed 926 square foot meeting space to residential does not generate an increase
in the employee housing generation due to the allowable GRFA not being increased from
the approved 200,858 square feet.
� Staff believes that the proposal does comply with this criterion.
7
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of �
the Vail Town Code.
As indicated in the Zoning Analysis outlined in Section VI of this memorandum, the total
number of required parking spaces for the Crossroads project is 218 spaces. The
applicants are proposing to provide a total of 304 spaces, all of which are to be provided in
the proposed underground parking structure. There are 87 additional parking spaces
proposed to be constructed above and beyond that whichis required. Of these additional
parking spaces there are 81 proposed to be in a private parking club and the remaining five
(5) the applicant is proposing will serve as additional public benefit.
The applicant has not proposed any changes to the compliant loading and delivery facility
associated with the project.
Staff believes that the application complies with this criterion.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan and how they applied to the Crossroads redevelopment. As
this proposal for a major amendment will affect the number of dwelling units on the site staff
will focus on this aspect of the proposal and its impact on this criterion.
The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy �
guidelines during the review process for the establishment of a special development district.
Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following goals and policies are
relevant to the review of this major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads,proposal:
1.0 General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining
a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to
serve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
4.0 Village Core / Lionshead
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the
existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation
of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and
should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental quality.)
�
$
� 5.0 Residential
5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in
existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high
hazards do not exist.
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through
private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of
Vail with appropriate restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands
for a full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and
upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be
accommodated at varied sites throughout the community.
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
Staff believes that the following stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to
this major amendment application:
Goa/ #2: To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-around
economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a
� whole.
Objective 2.5: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and
maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better
serve the needs of our guests.
Staff believes that the application complies with all the goals and objectives of the Vail
Comprehensive plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is prq�osed.
According to the Official Town of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps,the Crossroads development
site is not located in any geologically sensitive areas. Staff believes that the application
complies with this criterion.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23,2006,
staff discussed in detail the site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions in great detail. As this proposal for a major amendment to SDD No. 39,
Crossroads,does not include any changes to the site plan, building design and location and
open space provisions of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on
� these review points.

I. Introduction
We are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, to allow
for the addition of a dwelling unit, increasing the total number of dwelling units from 78 to 79
dwelling units. The dwelling unit is being added at the labby level in a space that was previously
considered support office for the project. There is adequate parking for this use. This change
has occurred as a result of continuing refinement to the project throughout the construction
process. A large storage area has been created in the loading dock area. Storage was previously
accommodated in areas adjacent to the lobby. Freeing up the storage space adjacent to the
lobby allows for these areas to become much more functional office spaces. The space that is
being converted to a unit was located inconveniently- physically separated from the lobby- and
required access to occur by entering the residential hallway. (See plans below, a full-sized set
has been submitted with this application).

This appiication for an additional dwelling unit does not increase the allowable GRFA currently
approved for the Solaris project. Changes to the interior of the building throughout the
construction project have eliminated a total of 1,076 sq. ft. of GRFA from the total GRFA of
existing units. Plans indicating where mechanical chases have been added and/or GRFA lost has
been submitted with this application. As a result, this new unit consisting of 926 sq. ft. of GRFA
will not increase the total approved GRFA of 200,858 sq. ft. In addition, there are no impacts to
the bulk and mass of the building, and no modifications to the exterior of the building. The new
unit is not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning regulations as no new GRFA is proposed. However,
the new unit does require additional parking, which is available as there is excess parking in the
project. A new parking analysis has been provided.
II. Background
On January 23, 2006, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended approval of
Special Development District No. 39, Solaris. In addition, conditional use permits were also
approved for a major arcade, a movie theater, meeting rooms and convention facilities, a
private club, a bowling alley, and an ice rink. In March of 2009, the Town Council voted to
approve the adoption of Ordinance 5, Series of 2006, approving the SDD and development plan
for Solaris. Various amendments to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, have been
approved following its original adoption. Most recently, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2009, was
�a �
Sl�L�7'Z6 Major Amendment Z
• . ,
�
approved by the Town Council, allowing for the conversion of a commercial space on the
promenade level to a residential dwelling unit. The current approval allows for 200,858 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and a total of 32,537 sq. ft. of net commercial floor area. This application does not
increase the allowable GRFA, but results in a total of 79 dwelling units. There are no other
changes associated with this amendment application.
This application increases the total number of dwelling units from the currently approved 78
dwelling units up to a total of 79 dwelling units. The total lot size of Solaris is 2.643 acres, and
the additional dwelling unit increases the density of the project from 29.51 dwelling units per
acre to 29.89 dwelling units per acre. The proposed unit i5 a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, of
approximately 926 sq. ft. As the building has progressed, this space is no longer necessary for
this function.
III. Parking Analysis
Solaris will meet and actually exceed the parking requirement as provided by the Town of Vail
Zoning Regulations. As currently proposed, 304 parking spaces are provided, while only 218
spaces are required for the uses on-site. The parking club still consists of 81 spaces (no change
from the previous approval) and there are 5 excess parking spaces remaining. A complete
parking analysis is provided below:

IV. Employee Housing Plan
Because there is no increase in the GRFA, the requirement for employee housing based on
Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, does not apply to this application.
V. Special Development District—Standards and Criteria
"The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the
development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design
character and quality of the new development with the Town; to facilitate the adequate and
economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail
comprehensive plan."
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special Development
District. The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan adequately addresses each of these criteria.
Below is a summary of how the project implements each of these criteria.
A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character,visual integrity and orientation.
Our Analvsis: �
There are no changes to the design of the proposed building as a result of this proposal.
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan was designed to be compatible with the mountain
environment and the new trends in alpine architecture. While the site is not located in the area
regulated by the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, most of the recommendations and goals
of that plan are implemented by the proposed development plan. The site is located on the
periphery of the village adjacent to the South Frontage Road. The Vail Village Master Plan
recommends taller buildings be concentrated along the Frontage Road and step down toward
the village core. The proposed structures follow this guideline. The site is also being
redeveloped in the context of recent approvals made by the Town on adjacent sites. The Vail
Plaza Hotel and the Four Season projects have both been approved following the same general
concept of taller buildings along the Frontage Road. However, the Crossroads project, unlike the
other two, focuses more of the building bulk and mass along the Frontage Road in order to
maintain a large public plaza (1/2-acre in area) along the south side of the site.
The proposed plan provides generous setbacks to adjacent development located to the west of
the site and the buildings are oriented to help maintain views in the area. The building was also
designed to appear as several building forms. The roof ridges were turned north south to
prevent a long confinuous roof ridge running east west across the site which has been fairly
common on other redevelopment projects. There are no major flat roofs proposed on this
structure.
�
S�7'Z�o Major Amendment 4
• . .
�
The materials are of the highest quality and inciude Telluride Gold stacked stone, strip
sandstone (laid on side), wood-like siding, dark zinc roof and siding elements, timber arches and
bracing, rolled logs, heavy deck rails, planter boxes, and proportional glazing. The proposed
materials are such high quality that maintenance is minimally required. The building was
designed to stand the test of time and to respond to the Rocky Mountain climate and harsh
conditions.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analvsis:
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area of Town as mixed-use commercial and high
density residential. The proposed redevelopment plan responds to the uses already developed
in the neighborhood and also provides a high quality mix of uses along East Meadow Drive. The
proposed amendment does not change this vibrancy along East Meadow Drive.
C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in
Chapter 10 of this Title.
Our Analysis:
The proposed redevelopment plan meets or exceeds all of the parking and loading standards
found in Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations. Please refer to other sections of this report and
� the proposed development plan for details on parking and loading. In fact, a surplus of 5 spaces
are being provided above and beyond the requirement for all uses on the site.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan,Town policies and urban design plans.
Our Analysis:
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan complies with all relevant master planning
documents and Town policies. The plan also complies with relevant sections of the Urban
Design Guide Plan; however, this plan is not applicable to this site.
E. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Our AnalVSis:
There are no natural or geologic hazards existing or mapped by the Town on the site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features,vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Our Analvsis:
� a
SlX�7'Z6 Major Amendment 5
� . �
�
There are no changes to the above-reference design features as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris site has been developed for more than 30 years and therefore there are no natural
features on the site and littie in terms of vegetation. The proposed project was designed to
reflect mountain alpine architecture, the alpine ciimate, and quality demanded by the Town.
The project was also developed around the master plan direction and the community desire to
extend a public plaza into the site. The proposed plan includes a large open plaza (nearly 20%
of the area of the entire site). This 1/2-acre plaza will improve the Town's ability to
accommodate outdoor gatherings and events. The proposed landscape plan introduces
additional trees and vegetation in meaningful locations throughout the site to improve the
aesthetics of the site and the surrounding area.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Our Analysis:
The proposed amendment has no impact on this criterion.
The Solaris project has been designed to address three major issues within the Town:
availability and adequacy of parking; pedestrian circulation and gathering; and loading and
delivery. A long-standing goal of the Town is to remove loading and delivery entering the Solaris
site through E. Meadow Drive and require access directly to the South Frontage Road. The
proposed plan includes a new, enclosed loading dock facility that is accessed directly from the �
South Frontage Road. The loading facility includes five loading berths, the maximum required
by the Town Code for a mixed-use facility. The loading dock also includes a trash facility for the
project. The loading dock provides access to grade on the west side of the site to allow for use
by merchants on adjacent sites.
All of the parking for the site is accessed from Village Center Road. All of the parking is located
below grade. The control gate for the site is located deep within the garage to prevent cars
from stacking into Village Center Road. Cars exiting the facility cue within the parking structure,
thus preventing any blocking of traffic on Village Center Road. Additionally, there is a porte
cochere along the South Frontage Road for residential guests arriving at the site. The porte
cochere will provide temporary pick-up for guests and valet parking. A traffic report is included
in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project and, as agreed previously in the DIA, a
new letter amending the analysis will be provided as the commercial uses are finalized. This
report indicates that all roadways adjacent to the site have excess capacity upon completion of
this redevelopment project. There is no need for major roadway improvements due to the
traffic generated for the proposed uses on-site. There is no vehicular access proposed to the
East Meadow Drive frontage of the site.
The pedestrian improvements associated with this site are extensive. Pedestrian access is
provided on all adjacent roadways and between the VVI project and the Solaris site. The
applicant is proposing a significant public plaza on the site that will allow for pedestrian traffic
and public gatherings.
�
S�7`C6 Major Amendment 6
. ' '. '
�
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation,views and function.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the landscaping as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris project is currently developed with buildings, structured parking, and surface
parking. There is very little existing landscaping on the property. The site is located within an
urban setting which presents challenges in terms of providing landscape areas and materials.
Retail, plaza areas and gathering places, and pedestrian walks all compete with landscape
improvements. However, the proposed redevelopment plan for Solaris provides significant
landscape materials in strategic locations which do not interfere with retail store fronts or
needed gathering spaces. The proposed hardscape areas of the site provide an aesthetic quality
not currently existing in the area. The proposed development plan and landscape plan optimize
the site as a gathering space, a recreation complex, and as a place to sit and view the
surrounding urban fabric.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
Our Analvsis:
� There are no changes to the phasing of this project as a result of the proposed major
amendment. The project is proposed to be developed in one phase.

� I. Introduction
We are requesting a major amendment to Specia) Development District No. 39, Solaris, to allow
for the addition of a dwelling unit, increasing the total number of dwelling units from 78 to 79
dwelling units. The dwelling unit is being added at the lobby level in a space that was previously
considered support office for the project. There is adequate parking for this use. This change
has occurred as a result of continuing refinement to the project throughout the construction
process. A large storage area has been created in the loading dock area. Storage was previously
accommodated in areas adjacent to the lobby. Freeing up the storage space adjacent to the
lobby allows for these areas to become much more functionat office spaces. The space that is
being converted to a unit was located inconveniently- physically separated from the lobby-and
required access to occur by entering the residential hallway. (See plans below, a full-sized set
has been submitted with this application).

This application for an additional dwelling unit does not increase the allowable GRFA currently
approved for the Solaris project. Changes to the interior of the building throughout the
construction project have eliminated a total of 1,076 sq. ft. of GRFA from the total GRFA of
existing units. Plans indicafing where mechanical chases have been added and/or GRFA lost has
been submitted with this application. As a result, this new unit consisting of 926 sq. ft. of GRFA
wil) not increase the total approved GRFA of 200,858 sq. ft. In addition, there are no impacts to
the bulk and mass of the building, and no modifications to the exterior of the building. The new
unit is not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning regulations as no new GRFA is proposed. However,
the new unit does require addifional parking, which is available as there is excess parking in the
project. A new parking analysis has been provided.
II. Background
On January 23, 2006, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended approval of
Special Development District No. 39, Solaris. In addition, conditional use permits were also
approved for a major arcade, a movie theater, meefing rooms and convention facilities, a
private club, a bowling alley, and an ice rink. In March of 2009, the Town Council voted to
approve the adoption of Ordinance 5, 5eries of 2006, approving the SDD and development plan
for Solaris. Various amendments to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris, have been
�,. approved following its original adoption. Most recently, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2009, was
.SO�L�C7`!6 Major Amendment 2
� .
' ' ' ,
approved by the Town Council, allowing for the conversion of a commercial space on the
�, promenade level to a residential dwelling unit. The current approval allows for 200,858 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and a total of 32,537 sq. ft. of net commercial floor area. This application does not
increase the allowable GRFA, but results in a total of 79 dwelling units. There are no other
changes associated with this amendment application.
This application increases the total number of dwelling units from the currently approved 78
dwelling units up to a total of 79 dwelling units. The total lot size of Solaris is 2.643 acres, and
the additional dwelling unit increases the density of the project from 29.51 dwelling units per
acre to 29.89 dwelling units per acre. The proposed unit is a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, of
approximately 926 sq. ft. As the building has progressed, this space is no longer necessary for
this function.
III. Parking Analysis
Solaris will meet and actually exceed the parking requirement as provided by the Town of Vail
Zoning Regulations. As currently proposed, 304 parking spaces are provided, while only 218
spaces are required for the uses on-site. The parking club still consists of 81 spaces (no change
from the previous approval) and there are 5 excess parking spaces remaining. A complete
parking analysis is provided below:

' ' , ' ,
� IV. Employee Housing Plan
Because there is no increase in the GRFA, the requirement for employee housing based on
Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, does not apply to this applicafion.
V. Special Development District— Standards and Criteria
"The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the
development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design
character and quality of the new development with the Town; to facilitate rhe adequate and
economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goals of the communiry as stated in the Vail
comprehensive plan:'
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special Development
District. The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan adequately addresses each of these criteria.
Below is a summary of how the project implements each of these criteria.
A. Compadbility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties reladve to architectural design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character,visual integrity and orientation.
� Our Analvsis:
There are no changes to the design of the proposed building as a result of this proposal.
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan was designed to be compatible with the mountain
environment and the new trends in alpine architecture. While the site is not located in the area
regulated by the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, most of the recommendations and goals
of that plan are implemented by the proposed development plan. The site is located on the
periphery of the village adjacent to the South Frontage Road. The Vail Village Master Plan
recommends taller buildings be concentrated along the Frontage Road and step down toward
the village core. The proposed structures follow this guideline. The site is also being
redeveloped in the context of recent approvals made by the Town on adjacent sites. The Vail
Plaza Hotel and the Four Season projects have both been approved following the same general
concept of taller buildings along the Frontage Road. However, the Crossroads project, unlike the
other two, focuses more of the building bulk and mass along the Frontage Road in order to
maintain a large public plaza (1/2-acre in area) along the south side of the site.
The proposed plan provides generous setbacks to adjacent development located to the west of
the site and the buildings are oriented to help maintain views in the area. The building was also
designed to appear as several building forms. The roof ridges were turned north south to
prevent a long continuous roof ridge running east west across the site which has been fairly
common on other redevelopment projects. There are no major flat roofs proposed on this
structure.
�
,50�7`Z6 Major Amendment 4
i �
. . .
The materials are of the highest quality and include Telluride Gold stacked stone, strip
� sandstone (laid on side), wood-like siding, dark zinc roof and siding elements, timber arches and
bracing, rolled logs, heavy deck rails, planter boxes, and proporfional glazing. The proposed
materials are such high quality that maintenance is minimally required. The building was
designed to stand the test of time and to respond to the Rocky Mountain climate and harsh
conditions.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analysis:
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area of Town as mixed-use commercial and high
density residential. The proposed redevelopment plan responds to the uses already developed
in the neighborhood and also provides a high quality mix of uses along East Meadow Drive. The
proposed amendment does not change this vibrancy along East Meadow Drive.
C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in
Chapter 10 of this Title.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed redevelopment plan meets or exceeds all of the parking and loading standards
found in Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations. Please refer to other sections of this report and
the proposed development plan for details on parking and loading. In fact, a surplus of 5 spaces
� are being provided above and beyond the requirement for all uses on the site.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan,Town policies and urban design plans.
Our Analysis:
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan complies with all relevant master planning
documents and Town policies. The plan also complies with relevant secfions of the Urban
Design Guide Plan; however, this plan is not applicable to this site.
E. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Our Analysis:
There are no natural or geologic hazards existing or mapped by the Town on the site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Our Analvsis:
�
,SU'�Major Amendment S
I a ',R
• ,, • �
There are no changes to the above-reference design features as a result of this proposal.
�
The Solaris site has been developed for more than 30 years and therefore there are no natural
features on the site and little in terms of vegetation. The proposed project was designed to
reflect mountain alpine architecture, the alpine climate, and quality demanded by the Town.
The project was also developed around the master plan direction and the community desire to
extend a public plaza into the site. The proposed plan inctudes a large open plaza (nearly 20%
of the area of the entire site). This 1/2-acre plaza will improve the Town's ability to
accommodate outdoor gatherings and events. The proposed landscape plan introduces
additional trees and vegetation in meaningful locations throughout the site to improve the
aesthetics of the site and the surrounding area.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Our Analvsis:
The proposed amendment has no impact on this criterion.
The Solaris project has been designed to address three major issues within the Town:
availability and adequacy of parking; pedestrian circulation and gathering; and loading and
delivery. A long-standing goal of the Town is to remove loading and delivery entering the Solaris
site through E. Meadow Drive and require access directly to the South Frontage Road. The
� proposed plan includes a new, enclosed loading dock facility that is accessed directly from the
South Frontage Road. The loading facility includes five loading berths, the maximum required
by the Town Code for a mixed-use facility. The loading dock also includes a trash facility for the
project. The loading dock provides access to grade on the west side of the site to allow for use
by merchants on adjacent sites.
All of the parking for the site is accessed from Village Center Road. All of the parking is located
below grade. The control gate for the site is located deep within the garage to prevent cars
from stacking into Village Center Road. Cars exiting the facility cue within the parking structure,
thus preventing any blocking of traffic on Village Center Road. Additionally, there is a porte
cochere along the South Frontage Road for residential guests arriving at the site. The porte
cochere will provide temporary pick-up for guests and valet parking. A traffic report is included
in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project and, as agreed previously in the DIA, a
new letter amending the analysis will be provided as the commercial uses are finalized. This
report indicates that all roadways adjacent to the site have excess capacity upon completion of
this redevelopment project. There is no need for major roadway improvements due to the
traffic generated for the proposed uses on-site. There is no vehicular access proposed to the
East Meadow Drive frontage of the site.
The pedestrian improvements associated with this site are extensive. Pedestrian access is
provided on all adjacent roadways and between the VVI project and the Solaris site. The
applicant is proposing a significant public plaza on the site that will allow for pedestrian traffic
and public gatherings.
�.
,SU'�7o Major Amendment 6
. ;
. , , �
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
,� optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the landscaping as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris project is currently developed with buildings, structured parking, and surface
parking. There is very little existing landscaping on the property. The site is located within an
urban setting which presents challenges in terms of providing landscape areas and materials.
Retail, plaza areas and gathering places, and pedestrian walks all compete with landscape
improvements. However, the proposed redevelopment plan for Solaris provides significant
landscape materials in strategic locations which do not interfere with retail store fronts or
needed gathering spaces. The proposed hardscape areas of the site provide an aesthetic quality
not currently existing in the area. The proposed development plan and landscape plan optimize
the site as a gathering space, a recreation complex, and as a place to sit and view the
surrounding urban fabric.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
funcdonal and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the phasing of this project as a result of the proposed major
�, amendment. The project is proposed to be developed in one phase.
