This request is to re-zone the subject property from Ski Base/Recreation to Ski Base/Recreation 2. The purpose of the re-zoning is to establish zoning on the property that could facilitate the redevelopment of existing Club facilities. The following information is provided below: • a brief summary of SSCV, a description of existing club facilities and goals for and need for upgrading Club facilities, • an assessment of re-zoning alternatives and the rationale for the proposed re-zoning, and • a statement regarding how the proposed re-zoning is consistent with applicable review criteria. This application is submitted by and on behalf of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail. Due to the projects proximity to Vail Mountain the Club will be coordinating with Vail Resorts (and with other neighbors) on any future redevelopment plans for their property. However, this project is not a Vail Resorts or Vail Resorts Development Company project. Ski and Snowboard Club Vail Founded in 1962, the mission of the Club is to provide youth the opportunity for character growth and excellence through athletics. The Club is widely recognized as one of the premier ski and snowboard clubs in the Country and is highly respected throughout the Valley as a leader in youth development. Ski and Snowboard Club Vail serves over 500 members in a variety of alpine racing, free-skiing, freestyle, Nordic and snowboarding programs. The Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization. Originally a small club dedicated to ski racing, SSCV has evolved into one of our community's largest organizations dedicated to serving our youth. In doing so the influence of the Club has grown to cover a wide range of topics, all making significant contributions to our community. The Kids The Club has had amazing success in developing snow-sport athletes who have gone on to excel on an international stage. The most recognizable among these is of course Lindsey Vonn, but not to be overlooked are the achievements of Toby Dawson, Chris Del Bosco, Sarah Schleper and many others. Over the co�irse of the past two years four athletes have been named to the U.S. Ski Team, notable among them are two local, ``home �rown" athletes born and raised here in Eagle County. � Athletic achievements are an impoi�tant �oal, however the underlyin� purpose of the Club in seiving otir ti�outh is to use athletics to ii�still the "3 C's" of courage. �haracter and commitment. to help kids developinent life lessons tllat �vill help them in tl�e years to come. The Communitv The Club utilizes its staff and atl�letes to volunteer in a variety of conununity events throughout tl�e year. Most notable among these is the Birds of Prey at Beaver Creek. Each year the Club provides on average 4,000 hours of volunteer help to this event. The presence of Club volunteers is also found at the Community Fw�d Rummage Sale, the Copper Triangle and other community events. The Academv In the fall of 2007 Ski and Snowboard Club Vail partnered with the Eagle County School District to establish the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy. The Academy is a fully accredited and certified public school with the goal of providing its students with a rigorous academic curriculum while supporting a world class training and competition schedule. From 31 students in its first year, the Academy grown to 141 students in 2011. While most students are from Eagle County, this past year a total of 17 families re-located to Eagle County in order far there kids to attend the Academy. The economic impact of these new families is significant. Economic Impact The Club's programs and visitors drawn to Vail are instrumental in generating significant economic activity for the community. Foremost among these is the early season training at Golden Peak. Snowmaking improvements made a few years ago have made Golden Peak a prime location for early season race training. This past year, for a five week period 20 ski clubs, 10 colleges and 20 national ski teams came to Vail to train. This resulted in the Club issuing approximately 7,600 tickets to visitors who on average spent a week in Vail. This resulting in literally millions of dollars spent on lodging, meals and shopping. By way of example, Manor Vail alone had 2,200 "group nights" during this period, at a time of year when the facility is typically very quiet. Throughout the winter the Club hosts a number of races and other events. This year 42 race days are planned and most of them are multi-day events. This year Vail �vill host a Junior Olympic event for 13 and 14 year olds that will involve 160 athletes, coacl�es and families over an eight day period. The economic impact of this and other events is quite considerable. Existing Club Facilities The Club currently operates from a buildin� located at the base of Vail Mountain at Golden Peak that is approximately 6,000 square feet in size. This buildin� was o��i�inally constnicted in the n�id-70's and a second tloor was added in the mid-80's. At tllat time the Cl�lb was serving just over 100 athletes. With a ctin-ent membei-ship of over �00 athletes the space constraints within the existing facility are severe and the buildin� is certainly sho�ving its age. The need to expand and update these facilities is acute. Creating a club facility N�at will be commensurate with its training facilities on Vail Mountain is the driving factor bef�ind tllis redevelopil�ent proposal. Goals of the Club Re-development The goa] of the Club is to re-develop their building to provide the space and facilities necessary to serve its membership —be they five year olds in the Future Stars program or world class athletes competing in Olyinpic or World Cup events. Conceptual plans for the building envision approximately 16,OOOSF of Club space that would incllide an entry/lobby area, a community room, lockers and other space for athletes in the Club's various programs, administration and coaches space, conditioning/training space and stora�e. Structured parking is planned in the lowest level of the building. As a non-profit organization financing a building of this size is extremely challenging. The "economic engine" for the redevelopment would be two for-sale residential condominiums on the upper floors of the building. Additional information on existing cl�ib facilities, the need for the project and specifics on the proposed re-development would be provided as an element of the Development Plan to be provided in subsequent steps in the Town's development review process. The Problem Statement— Existing Zoning The property is .265 acres in size and is currently zoned Ski Base/Recreation. This zone district was created in the early 80's and was written with the specific intention of facilitating the re- development of the Golden Peak Base Lodge. The degree of specificity with which the zone district was written (in order to facilitate the base lodge redevelopment) is extreme. For example, allowable URFA is based on a percentage of the square footage of the "base lodge". As such GRFA ratio cannot reasonably be applied to the Club's parcel (or any other parcel for that matter). Another complication is that the minim�u�� lot size in the Ski Base/Recreation District is 40 acres, making the SSCV parcel a non-conforn�ing lot. In s�ul�mary, the Ski Base/Recreation zoning currently applied to tl�e Club's parcel does not pro��ide a "workable process'� for the revie�v of rede��elopment plans for the Club's land. The problem statement, or question is - what zoning �nd development review process is most appropriate for this project. Alternative Review Processes There would appear to be four possible zoning alternatives for how this project could be handled. The goals of this review process ��o�ild be t�vo-fold—to provide a process that would allow SSCV to propose a b�lildin�consistent with its redevelopnlent goals and to provide the Town with the tools necessary to review the proposal. The follo�ving summarizes each of these. 1. Amend the Ski Base/Recreation Zone District In theory the "problematic" sections of the Ski Base/Recreation district could be amended such that the zone district could be used on other properties. However, given the specificity with which this zone district was written relative to the Golden Peak Base Lodge, any amendments would create other complications and could raise questions relative to the larger, +/-40 acre Ski Base/Recreation parcel. Amending this district is not considered a viable alternative. 2. SDD Overlav An SDD could provide a zoning process for the Club to propose their redevelopment plans and an SDD would also provide the town with the tools to review the proposal. However, an SDD is an overlay district and the underlying zone district would still come into play, i.e. the inherent complications with the Ski Base/Recreation District would remain a problem. An SDD is not considered a viable alternative. 3. Create a new zone district A new zone district could be drafted and applied to the SSCV property. However, drafting a new zone district is an extensive effort and begs the questions—how many different zone districts does the town really need and as an alternative is there an existing zone district that could "work"? 4. Re-zone with existin�zone district In 2006 the Town established the Ski Base/Recreation 2 (SB/R2) district in order to facilitate the development of Vail's Front Door. The underlying purpose of the Ski Base/Recreation 2 district is to "provide sites for facilities, activities and uses necessary for and appurtenant to the operation of a ski mountain". A ski and snowboard club would certainly seem to be consistent with this p�.irpose. Proposed Zonin� Amendment W11ile the Ski Base/Recreation 2 district was created to facilitate t11e devel��pment of Vail's Front Door, this zone disti-ict was not written with the same degree ofspecific attention to one b�iilding (Golden Peak Base Lodge) as ��as done �vith the Ski Base/Recreation District. As such, the land uses, development standards and revie�� procedures outlined in SB/R2 could reasonably be applied to other properties. From a tech►lical standpoint the permitted and conditional uses, allowable densities and other developmeut standards �vould all "��ork'' for the project envisioned by the Club. Any development approval is subject to the Town's review and approval of a development plan so the town would have the tools necessary to ensure the project is consistent with Town goals. The SB/R 2 zone district is a viable alternative for the Club to use in pursuing their redevelopment plans and the zone district amendment is to apply SB/R2 to the SSCV property. The proposed amendment is in many ways a housekeeping item necessary to correct the complications created by the specificity with which the SB/R2 district was written. Consider the following comparisons: � Density (8 units per acre) is the same in both districts, • Most development standards are the same in both districts, • Allowable land uses (oriented toward ski mountain/base area uses) are very similar in both districts, and • The requirement for a Development Plan and the review processes are very similar in both districts.

(1) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent �vith all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensi��e plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and The property has been zoned Ski Base/Recreation since 2000. This zone district was deemed to be consistent with "all applicable elements of the goals, objectives and policies of the Vail Comprehensive Plan" when the property was originally zoned SB/R and it is reasonable to assume that the SB/R zoning remains consistent with these goals, policies and objectives. As described in earlier sections of this report, rezoning to Ski Base/Recreation 2 will not significantly change the underlying purpose of the zone district, the allowable uses, density provisions, review processes or the majority of development standards. For these reasons it is reasonable to conclude the proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the Town's comprehensive plan. The Vail Village Master Plan and the Vail Land Use Plan are the two most relevant master plan documents to consider relative to the proposed re-zoning. Each of these documents includes a wide array of goals, objectives and policies along with other elements to be considered in reviewing a re-zoning proposal. The follo�ving is a brief summary of these two plans: Vail Villa�e Master Plan (adopted 1990 updated 2006 and 2009) The SSCV club facility is located just outside of the boundary of the Vail Village Plan boundary and as such is also located outside the Land Use Plan and other Illustrative Plans found in the document. For example, the subject property is located immediately outside the Ski Base Recreation land use category which reads: Ski Base/Recreation: Located at the base of Vail Mountain in the Golden Peak area and immediately adjacent to Vail�Village, this designation is intended to provide for the facilities and services inherent to the operation of a ski area. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to encourage a safe, convenient, and aesthetically-pleasing transition between the ski mountain and surrounding land use categories. The ra�lge of uses and activities appropriate in the Ski Base/Recreation land use category may include skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restrooms, ticket sales, clubs, public plazas, outdoo�-cultural/art events and sports venue, open spaces, parking and loadin�/delivery facilities, and residential, retail, �li�d restaurant uses. Give�� the subject property tivas zoned Ski Base/Recreation prior to the adoption of the VVMP, it is a reasonable assumptioi� to consider this land use category relative to the proposed re-zonin�. A major element of the VVMP is the "Action Plan". The fletion Plan provides graphic and narrative descriptions of opportunities, constraints and other considerations relative to future land uses for ten unique "sub areas" throughout the Village area These sub area concepts are intended to provide "advisory guidelines for fi�ture land use decisions to be used by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. The Action Plan for the "Goldeil Peak Slib Area" does include the SSCV property. This element of the Plan states: The Golden Peak Ski Base Sub-Area has traditionally served as a recreational activity center throughout the year. The Golden Peak Ski Base facility provides one of four access portals to Vail Mountain during the winter months, and accommodates a number of the To�vn's recreation programs during the summer. In 1983, Vail Associates received approval for the redevelopment of this facility and in 1988, completed the Children's Ski Center. The further redevelopment of this area will serve to reinforce its role as a major ski base and recreational activit�� center for the entire communitv Development or redevelopment of this sub-area will attract additional traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon partions of Sub-Areas 6 and 7. This element of the VVMP would clearly support the praposed zoning for the SSCV property. Vail Land Use Plan (adopted 1986, updated 2009� The most pertinent goal from this Plan is 1.3 —"the quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible". The underlying purpose of this request is to establish a "workable" zoning and development revie�v process that will allow the Club to propose the upgrading of existing facilities. The subject property is designated "SB Ski Base" on the Land Use Map. This category is described as: Ski base areas are designated at the main mountain portals found within the Town. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to encourage a safe, convenient and aesthetically pleasing transition between the ski mountain and surrounding land use categories. The range of uses and activities appropriate in the Ski Base (SB) land use category may include skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restrooms, ticket sales, cliibs, public plazas, open spaces, parking and loading/delivery facilities, and residential, retail, and restaurant uses. The proposed re-roning to Ski Base/Recreation 2 is consistent with this land use categol-y. (2) The extent to ��hich the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and eYisting and potentiai surrounding land uses as set out in the to��n's adoptect planning documents; and The proposed zoning is suitable for both the e�isting use of the subjcct property and the potential fut�ire use of tlie property, and both existin� and future uses are coil�patible with sun-oiinding land uses. This finding is clearly evident �vhen considerin� the very minor changes in proposed zoning when compared to the properties existing zoning. Potential fiiture uses are also consistent with the town's adopted master plans. (3) The eYtent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and The existing Ski Base/Recreation zoning has been in place on the property for many years. Based on the fact that the Town zoned the property Ski Base/Recreation in 2000, one can reasonably assuine the existing zoning was deemed to provide a"harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses". Given the fact that proposed zoning to Ski Base/Recreation 2 would result in very few material changes as compared to the existing zoning, it is concluded that the proposed re-zoning is consistent witli this criteria. Purpose of district is to ensure compatibility and that compatibility is ensured by requirement of development plan review as requisite of any development. (4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole; and One of the stated purposes of the SB/R 2 district is ". . . to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses, all permitted uses, development and activity within the zone district shall be subject to approval of a comprehensive development plan in accordance with the provisions of this article". The requirement for all development within the SB/R 2 district to obtain approval of a development plan would inherently provide a system to ensure "orderly growth of our community". "Spot zoning" is generally considered applying zoning to a single (often sinall-sized) property without consideration the community`s broader context. By the same token, courts have upheld re-zoning of single properties (regardless of size) if the re-zoning is consistent with a communities land �ise objectives and relevant community plans. Given the proposed re-zonings conformance with applicable community plans, this request would not be considered "spot zoning". (5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural e�rvironment, including, but not limited to, water qualit��, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features; �nd The proposed re-zoning would i�ot result in an adverse impact on any of the considerations listed above. (6) The extent to �vhic�h the zone district amendment is consistent �vith the purpose statement of the proposed zone district; and The stated purpose of the Ski Base/Recreation 2 district is: The Ski Base/Recreation 2 district is intended to provide sites for facilities, activities and uses necessary for and appurtenant to the operation of a ski mountain. A variety of other facilities, uses and activities, including, but not limited to, residential, public and semipt►blic uses and special community events typically associated with a vibrant resort commLinity are also permitted within the zone district. The ski base/recreation 2 district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to permitted and conditional uses throughout the zone district In order to achieve this objective and to ensure cotnpatibility with adjacent land uses, all permitted Lises, development and activity within the zone district shall be subject to approval of a comprehensive development plan in accordance with the provisions of this article. Furthermore, due to the likelihood of this district being located at the base of Vail Mountain, and upon some of the most critical and important lands to the firture success and resort character of the town, development within tl�is district shall be evaluated based upon its ability to meet the specific purposes of this title and to provide "corripelling public benefits which further the public interests" that go beyond any economic benefits to the landowner. (Ord. 29(2005) § 25: Ord. 4(2003) § 1) The existing and planned uses of the subject site are consistent with"uses and activities, including, but not limited to, residential, public and semipublic uses and special community events typically associated with a vibrant resort community" (7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate; and This is not necessarily a case where "conditions have changed" so much as it is a situation �vhere the existing Ski Base/Recreation District was drafted in such a manner as to be exceedingly specific to the Golden Peak Base Lodge development. The degree of specificity is such that the SB/R district does not provide a"workable" zone district for the subject property. (8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. To be deternlined by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Town Cowicil.
