Overflow Parking 28 Ski Season Overflow Days Average # of Cars Overflow days with >400 cars Annual Ski Visits 2008/2009 24 days 355 cars 8 days 1,622,000 2009/2010 21 days 380 cars 10 days 1,599,000 2010/2011 7 days 239 cars 0 days To Be Determined Public Parking: Implementation & Funding • “If future parking studies demonstrate a need for significant public parking in the west Lionshead area, a joint venture between Vail Associates, the Town of Vail, and other potential development interests should be considered.” (LRMP 9.1.1.8) • The LHRMP recognized a public cost for a parking structure in West Lionshead ranging from $4,000,000 to $10,000,000, depending on level of participation from private developer (Master Plan Appendix) Public Parking: Implementation and Funding • As a public benefit, Vail Resorts is proposing to entirely fund public parking at Ever Vail • 400 public parking spaces at no cost to Town of Vail taxpayers Ever Vail Skiers • We are increasing skiers on Vail Mountain • We are not changing the manage-to number on Vail Mountain • We are not expanding terrain on Vail Mountain as part of this project 31 Source: Allender, 10/26/10 memo Ever Vail Skiers • Total Ever Vail max daily bed base population of 2,416 (estimated based on residential plan) • Total Ever Vail peak daily skier population of 923 skiers (estimated based on occupancy rates of ski season and skiing habits of visitors) • Approximately 100,000 annual skier days from the Ever Vail population (up to 138,000 annual skier days) 32 Source: Allender, 10/26/10 memo These people are parked in residential and hotel parking spaces What does this mean? • 400 skier spaces in Ever Vail is the appropriate number of spaces • On an average overflow day, there are just under 300 cars parked on the Frontage Road = these can be accommodated in Ever Vail • Surplus of 100 parking spaces remain on an average overflow day • Skiers from the Ever Vail population are parked • Parking available to the public (commercial) provides a total of 664 spaces 33 Proposed LHRMP Language: 5.17.3 Parking • “Ever Vail shall be developed as a commercial core that includes mixed use development, pedestrian streets and plazas, direct access to transit options, bicycle and pedestrian connections and access to Vail Mountain. As a commercial core, Ever Vail should be incorporated into the Town’s adopted commercial core parking areas, which allow for reduced parking requirements due to proximity to mixed use development. Ever Vail shall meet the parking requirements of the Vail Town Code. The appropriate parking requirements for ski lifts and other potential land uses that do not have a specified parking requirement will be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission.” 34 Proposed LHRMP Language: 5.17.3 Parking • “Ever Vail shall include an additional 400 public parking spaces, as identified in section 4.1.5: West Lionshead – Residential/Mixed Use Hub. These spaces will address long term parking needs, including the Town's goal to eliminate parking from the South Frontage Road as further detailed in Section 4.8.3.3b of this master plan. During development and phasing of Ever Vail, there will be periods of time when surface parking lots and staging areas may be necessary to meet skier parking and construction needs. Surface parking lots shall not be maintained as a long-term solution to meeting parking demand.” 35 Proposed LHRMP Language: 5.17.3 Parking • “Skier drop-off is an essential component of a successful ski portal. Skier drop-off at Ever Vail will improve the guest and local experience. The transit facility in Ever Vail should accommodate 10-14 short-term or skier drop-off parking spaces. Short-term parking is a key aspect to community commercial uses, allowing customers to quickly and conveniently patronize establishments. Outside of skier drop-off and pick-up during peak periods, these spaces could be utilized as short-term parking serving the commercial uses in close proximity, such as the grocery store.” 36 Proposed LHRMP Language: 5.17.3 Parking • “Skier drop-off spaces are also envisioned in the parking structure on the west side of Ever Vail. Approximately 50 parking spaces should be available for short term parking and skier drop-off when not in use for children’s ski school activities, which traditionally occur one day per week in the winter. These short-term parking spaces, given their location at approximately 500 feet from the gondola, would provide skier drop-off capacity in the event the short-term spaces in the transit facility are displaced due to expansion of bus activity.” 37 All plans and programming are proposed, remain subject to governmental approvals (which have not yet been obtained) and no representations are made about the accuracy of any information for the final project.
