The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two-fold: 1. To articulate the land use goals of the Town. 2. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a basis from which luture land use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined to indicate general types of land uses which are then used to develop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature, but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision making. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. The Vail Land Use Plan contains the following goals: 1.0 GeneralGrowth/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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.4 The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new development in the Village Core through continued implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.5 Commercial strip development of the Valley should be avoided. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. l0 1.8 Recreational and public facility development on Nalional Forest lands may be permitted where no high hazards exist if: a) Community objectives are met as articulated in the Comprehensive Plan.b) The parcel is adjacent to the Town boundaries, with good access.c) The affected neighborhood can be involved in the decision-making process. 1.9 National Forest land which is exchanged, sold or otherwise falls into private ownership should remain as open space and not be zoned for private development. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.11 Town owned lands shall not be sold to a private entity, long term leased lo a private entity or converted to a private use without a public hearing process. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 2.0 Skier/TouristConcerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day skiers. 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together to improve facilities for day skiers. 2.4 The communily should improve summer recreational and cultural opportunities to encourage summer tourism. 2.5 The community should improve non-skier recrealional options to improve year-round tourism. 2.6 An additional golf course is needed. The Town should work with the down valley communities to develop a public golf course as well as other sports facilities to serve the regional demand for recreational facilities. 2.7 The Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands while continuing to purchase open space. ll 2.8 Day skiers need for parking and access should be accommodated through creative solutions such as: a) Increased busing from out of town.b) Expanded points of access to the mountain by adding additional base portals.c) Continuing to provide temporary surface parking. d) Addition of structured parking. 3.0 Commercial 3.1 The hotel bed base should be oreserved and used more efficientlv. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skiers. 3.3 Hotels are imporlant to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 3.5 Entertainment oriented business and cultural activities should be encouraged in the core areas to create diversity. More nighttime businesses, on- going events and sanctioned "street happenings" should be encouraged. 4.0 Village Core / Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 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 qualily.) 4.4 The connection between the Villaoe Core and Lionshead should be enhanced through: a) lnstallation of a new type of people mover.b) lmproving the pedestrian system with a creatively designed connection, oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and/or sculpture plaza. c) New development should be controlled to limit commercial uses. t2 c.u Residential 5.1 Additional residential groMh should conlinue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.2 Quality time-share units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restriclions. 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. Chapter Vlll.3.C of the Vail Land Use Plan outlines the amendments proceoures for proposed changes to the master plan. The amendment process is one which is intended to assure the Plan's effectiveness with periodic updates to reflect current thinking and changing market conditions. The process includes amendmenls which may be initiated in any of the following three ways; A. By the Community Development Department B^ By the Planning & Environmental Commission or Town Council C. By the Private Sector Pursuant to Chapler Vlll.3.C.2, in part, (an application initiated by the private sector), "Such applications will be considered at a meeting with the PEC. At the PEC public hearing, a recommendation shall be made to the Town Council, whereupon a decision shall then be rendered. To change the by this procedure, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly demonstrate how conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted, how the Plan is in error, or how the addition, deletion, or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general. Such decision may include approval, approval with conditions, or denial. Amendments may be requested for changes to the goals and policies and/or Land Use Plan map. lf such request is approved, such change shall be made to the Plan document and/or map. If such request is denied, no such request that is substantially the same as that previously denied shall be considered for a period of one year." An amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan shall be approved by the Vail Town Council upon passage of a resolution. IJ 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. lt 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. lt 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 be consistent with the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, and along with the Guide Plan, it underscores the importance of the relationship between the built environment and public spaces. Goals for Vail Village are summarized in six major goal statements. While there is a certain amount of overlap between these six goals, each focuses on a particular aspect of the Village and the community as a whole. The goal slatements are designed to establish a framework, or direction, for the future growth of the Village. A series of objectives outline specific steps that can be taken toward achieving each stated goal. Policy statements have been developed to guide the Town's decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives, whether it be through the review of private sector development proposals or in implementing capital improvement projects. The Vail Village Master Plan's objectives and policy statements address key issues relalive to growth and development. These stalements establish much of the context within which future development proposals are evaluated. In implementing the Plan, the objectives and policies are used in conjunction with a number of graphic planning elements that together comprise this Plan. While the objectives and policies establish a general framework, the graphic plans provide more specific direction regarding public improvements or development potential on a particular piece of property. 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 significanl 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, "lt 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." t4 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 projecl to be approved. The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan are: Goal #1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. Goal #2 To fosler a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. Goal #3 To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. Goal #4 To preserve existing open space areas and expand green space opportunilies. Goal #5 lncrease and improve the capacity, efficiency and aesthetics of the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. Goal #6 To insure the continued improvement of the vital operalional elements of the village. The Vail Village Master Plan contains procedures for considering amendments to the Plan. In accordance with the Vail Town Code, the plan shall be adopted by the Planning and Environmental Commission of the Town of Vail and approved by the Town Council. The Planning and Environmenlal Commission may adopt extensions, additions, or amendments to the Plan for approval by the Town Council. Before the adoplion of the Plan, or any such amendment, extension, or addition, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall hold at least one public hearing, thereon, notice of the time and place of which shall be given by one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Vail no later lhen seven days prior to the date set for the public hearing. The adoption of the Plan shall be by motion ol the Planning and Environmental Commission recommending approval of the Plan by the Town Council. Approval of the Plan or any amendment, extension, or adoption thereto shall be by a resolution of the Town Council at a regular or special public meeting. Town of Vail Comprehensive Ooen Lands Plan In 1994, the Vail Town Council adopted the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify priorities for open space and recreation needs communicated by the citizens of Vail. The citizens identified the following needs, in order of priority: . Acquisition, preservation and protection of natural open space;. lmprovement of the trail and bike path system in and around Vail; t5 vt. Creation of additional recreation opportunities in a regional context. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is an aclion-oriented plan that identifies specific parcels of land that require some kind of action for either protection of sensitive lands, for trail easements and critical trail connections. or for future public use. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan - Action Plan map identifies a portion of Vail's Front Door project development site as "Parcel 27/Parcel C'l According to the Plan, "Parcel 27/Parcel C" is categorized as a "High Priority (LOA Parcel)" action step recommending that the Town of Vail and the adjacent landowner acquire the northwest portion (Parcel 27) oI the parcel through annexation and de-annex (disconnect) the southwest portion (Parcel C/ of the parcel from the Town of Vail. As a result, in 1999, (Ordinance #29, Series of 1999) the Town of Vail approved the disconnection of "Parcel C" lrom the Town of Vail municipal boundary and met the contractual obligations outlined in the Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement. Subsequently, the Town of Vail initiated a zoning map amendment and subdivision application (Ordinance #35, Series of 1999) to re- plat that portion of USFS land within the Town of Vail and transfer ownership to private adjacent property owners. This action resulted in complying with the intent of the Plan which was to remove USFS-owned lands from within the Town of Vail municipal boundary. The application for annexation plat approval submitted on behalf of Vail Resorts Development Company is intended to address the Plan recommendalion that the northwest portion of the parcel (Parcel 2l be "acquired from the USFS" per the Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement (LOA). A copy of the relevanl sections of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan has been attached for reference (attachment C). DISCUSSION ISSUES A. Creation of a New Zone District The applicant is proposing to establish a new zone district to facilitate the development of Vail's Front Door project. A new zone district is proposed as there is no one existing zone district that reflects the unique combination of uses and activities commonly associated with ski base areas. The decision to proceed with the establishmenl of a new zone district was selected after other alternatives using existing zone districts was carefully considered by both the applicant and Town staff.

Throughout the past forty years Vail Village (the Village) has been the focal point ofactivity for notjust Vail, but for all the residents and guests ofwhat has become the "Vail Valley". Located at the foot of Vail Mountain, bisected by Gore Creek and offering unparalleled views of the Gore Range, it is hard to imagine a more picturesque setting for a resort village. Coupled with the charm of winding pedestrian-oriented streets, distinctive alpine architecture and plethora of shops and restaurants, it is no wonder that when one thinks of Vail, it is Vail Village that immediately comes to mind. In many respects, however, time is beginning to take its toll on Vail Village. Over the past ten years there has been little in the way of upgrading or investment in the built environment within the Village. Vail Associates has spent millions on improvements to the ski mountain with state of the art lifts, new skier services and dining facilities, and a number of other improvements making it the premier ski mountain in the U.S. While new pedestrian villages have been coqstructed or are planned in numerous ski towns throughout the west, the Village area has remained somewhat stagnant. Today however, the Village is on the verge of embarking on a revitalization. Plans are in the works to expand and renovate a number of lodges in the Village. The Town of Vail is pursuing an ambitious program to improve streets, plazas and public spaces. In addition to these efforts, over the past ten years Vail Resorts Development Company (VRDC) has evaluated alternatives for how to improve property in and around the base of Vail Mountain and at the entry to Vail Village - Vail's Front Door. A. About Vail's Front Door Vail's Front Door is a comprehensive re-development of key properties around the primary portal to Vail Mountain intended to criate a world class arrival point and transition between the village and the ski mountain. Currently, the flow between the Village and the Mountain is disorganized, cluttered and lacking in any type of coherent design. ln many cases Vail Mountain meets with the "back side" of buildings. From the standpoint of function and appearance, existing conditions are far from what one would expect of a world-class resort. The Front Door includes a number of elements that collectively address these existing conditions and in doing so will create a seamless connection between the Mountain and the Village. The Front Door is one of many projects that are critical to the future long-term success of Vail. While the Front Door is about revitalizing Vail, in a broader sense it is about being competitive in the highly competitive resort industry. vail's Front Door represents not only a major investment, but also a major improvement to the community. The Front Door is expected to be a major catalyst toward solidifying Vail as the premier resort community in North America. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal o Vail's Front Door includes the ollowing components: Vista Bahn Park - A co ve re-design of the ski yard and base area, the Vista Bahn Park includes a new pedestrian at the base of the Mountain that will welcome skiers to the Mountain each momins and ite them into the Village each afternoon. The park will be anchored by a new skier roof. buildins that will consolidate a varietv of services under one Lodge at Vail -Improvements Vail's landmark hotel include the addition of a world-class spa and renovalions to a number lodge rooms. Residence Club - This fracti luxury residences at the foot -fee residential project will provide thirteen ski-in/ski-out Vail Mountain. Ski Club - Located at the base membership facilities includin the Mountain, the ski club will a skier lounge, changing rooms, outdoor pool and hot tubs, and mber parking. P3&J (Vail Park) - Located a what is now a surface parking walk from the base of the Mountain, the re-development of will include an underground parking structure and the introduction of a neiehbo park. verv. Loadins and - An entirely new underground parking, loading, and delivery facility that will replace surface parking and loading at the base of Vail Mountain and in above mentioned projects.doing so will physically link Many desisn and alternatives for the Front Door have been considered over the past ten years. The plelrrs in this application represent years of study, discussion and evaluation. Numerous meetin have been held with the Town- communitv leaders iurd neighbors. The formal review process triggered by these applications represents another step in moving this project closer to be Vail's renaissance. Over ity. The Front Door however, represents just a part of what will next few months VRDC will also be submitting plans for the re- development of Lionshead, inc ing the Core site, the West Day Lot, the tennis court site, the North Day Lot and the Holy C site. B.Key Elements of Prq offer a variety of club ski storage, member lockers, The fbllowing provides a brief respect to the communitv bene of the key elements its that will be realized by the The implementation of umerous Town goals and policies pertaining to redevelopment, upgrading and revj ion of Vail Village, Implementation of numerous skier and guest services, of the proposal, particularly with project: Town goals and policies pertaining to improvements to VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal o r The replacement of surface parking, loading and delivery, and other unappealing uses and activities at the base of Vail Mountain. r Development of a new Vista Bahn Park and a new skier/guest services building at the base of Vail Mountain. .

In addition, calculations ofparking, loading and employee housing requirements generated by the project are also provided. A.Existing Conditions While the Front Door has been planned and designed as a comprehensive development the project is comprised ofsix distinct components located on six separate parcels ofl brief summary of these parcels, existing conditions and surrounding land use follows. Additional information pertaining to existing site conditions can be found in the envi impact report that has been submitted under separate cover. The Lod&e at Vail This 3.0423-acre parcel is zoned Commercial Core I (CCf and accommodates V Iandmark hotel along with a variety of other uses and developments. The parcel i bordered on the north and east by other CCI zoned properties, on the west by US and the Willow Circle neighborhood and on the south by thc Mill Creek subdivisi This parcel is owned by an affiliate of Vail Associates. Mill Creek Subdivision Lots 1 and 2 This 2.068-acre parcel, once known as the "Lodge Exchange Parcel" is currently ned Natural Preservation Area. A majority of this parcel has been disturbed and tly accommodates a variety ofuses including surface parking and loading associated ith the Lodge and Lodge South Condominiums, various utilities eurd other improvements. Surrounding land uses include the Lodge properties to the north and USFS lands the west, south and east. Vail Ski Mountain is located imnrediately to the south of parcels. These two parcels are owned by an affiliate of Vail Associates. Proposed USFS Land Exchanee This 3.942-acre parcel is currently owned by the USFS and is currently pafi of a land exchange that once cornpleted, will transfer ownership of this parcel to Vail Associates. The parcel essentially includes the entire Vail Village base area of V Mountain. Existing uses include Chair I and Vista Bahn lifts, race facilities, rest and related mountain service functions. The parcel is surrounded by USFS land on the east, west and south. The mixed-use commercial area of Vail Villaee is immediately to the nofih. o VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal .-. Lot P3 and Lot J t Together these two parcels comprise 0.348 acres. The parcels are currently used as parking. While the existing parking lot is paved, it is not landscaped and presents a very poor visual condition for the neighborhood. Surrounding uses include mixed-use commercial development to the west and residential development to the north, east and south. These two lots are owned by an affiliate of Vail Associates. The proposed name for revised parcel is "Vail park." 1o VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submirtal o 6 E o I o ? ? ri q) t B. Overview of Project Components Below are detailed descriptions for each of the six major components of the Front Door. Generally, these descriptions address the following aspects ofeach ofthese individual projects: r the overall development objectives ofthe project, . a detailed description of the development, design considerations, programmatic and operational aspects of the project, . a summary of how the project conforms with applicable elements of the Town's master plan considerations,. a briefdescription ofthe review process necessary to allow for the project. I. OVERVIEW OF VISTA BAHN PARK One of the more visible and public elements of Vail's Front Door is the redevelopment of the Vista Bahn Park and the development of a new skier services area. This area will be revitalized and redeveloped to provide direct mountain access and more conveni€nt centralized ski services. The Vista Bahn Park implements many elements of the Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan by improving the guest experience with state of the art service facilities along with streetscape and public space improvements. A new skier service building, located on the west side ofthe plaza, will anchor the new Vista Bahn Park. VA]L'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal The proposed plan for the Vista Bahn Park includes relocating the Vista Baln lift and skier maze further to the south to create more functional space at the base of the mountain. This enlarged ski yard will allow ski activities to operate more efficiently and also provide a large gathering area for summer event activities. Extensive re-grading in this area will be done in order to minimize stairs from Seibert Circle to the Vista Bahn Lift. The goal of this improvement is to make skiers walk to the lift moie comfortable and to allow an easy transition for pedestrians and cyclists in the summer months. The existing pedestrian/bike trail that passes through this area and provides access to Pirate Ship Park and on to Golden Peak to the east and to Vail Village to the west will be maintained. The most notable improvement to this area is the introduction of a one-story (above grade) skier services building. This building has been designed to blend into the landscape with a low-lying, shallow-pitched sod roof to respect the opinions of area neighbors. The faqade visible from the ski yard will be themed as a high quality alpine interpretation of Vail Village. The ground level of this building will contain ticketing, private lessons, public restrooms, ski storag€, retail shops, coffee shops, restaurants, ski rental/retail, etc. The lower subtenanean levels of the building will contain retail areas as well as "back of the house" functions (employee lockers, restrooms, storage, offices, and other activities). The new Vista Bahn Park will create a much improvod ski base area and establish a searnless connoction between Vail Mountain and Vail Villase, VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 10 () Parking for those portions of the skier service building that generate a parking requirement (i.e. areas excluding restrooms and storage areas) will be provided in the sub-surface central parking and loading facility located immediately to the west. Approximately 33 parking spaces are being provided for the skier services building pursuant to Town Code. The Vista Bahn Park is part of the development plan for the overall Front Door project and is subjectto approval ofthe USFS land exchange, an annexation, adoption ofthe Ski Base/Recreation 2 zone district, approval of a development plan, and applying the Ski Base/Recreation 2 zone district to the property. Refer to section IV, C of this report for an analysis ofreview criteria applicable to these development applications. 2. OVERVIEW OF LODGE AT VA]L The Lodge at Vail is one of Vail's premier luxury resort hotels, which arguably enjoys Vail's best location atthe foot of Vail Mountain. In the mid-1990's the Intemational Wing addition to the Lodge was constructed and the interior of much of the Lodge was remodeled and upgraded. The proposed renovation ofthe Lodge will be focused on the area of the new spa facility. These improvements will implement long-standing policies and goals of the Town which encourage the renovation and revitalization of the Town's lodging facilities. The proposed renovation includes remodeling existing space on the first floor of the Lodge to accommodate a spa facility. This modification will include a facelift to the exterior of that portion of the building where the spa is being introduced. The new spa will be located on the west side of the existing Lodge. Arcbitectural treatment will improve the visual connection between the Lodge and the lntemational Wing. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal ll The spa facility will require of three small (and less desirable) hotel rooms on the first floor of the buildi However, two new larger hotel rooms on the second floor of the Lodee will be . These new rooms will have slope side views of Vail Mountain. These chanses result in a net increase of approximately 2,000 square feet for this additional GRFA will be created in a zoning text of GRFA. Development ri amendmentto the CCI zone istrict (submiffed under scparate cover) and by the proposed Ski B 2 zone district, where many of the lodge improvements are occuning. Refer to section , B ofthis report for an analysis ofreview criteria applicable to these applications. A new pool and patio area also be constructed on the south of the Lodge to provide an additional hotel ameniw sun-filled settine. well as an ameni$ to the skier club and residence club in a The new south-facing pool and patio will a major now amenity for the Lodge at Vail, skier club and rssidence club.. Allof the surface parking and that cunently exists to the rear (south) of the Lodge at Vail and Lodge South Tower is being incorporated into the sub-surface parking structure that will be developed as part of the Front Door project. The end result of this renovation will be the removal of unsightly surface parking and the development of a wellJandscaped recreational amenity for hotel guests. Since the Lodge renovation actually reduces the number ofhotel rooms by one room and the new spa facility is being provided as a hotel amenity there is a slight reduction in the parking requirement for the Lodge property (0.7 parking space reduction). However, all VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal t2 of the existing surface parking will be relocated to the sub-suface parking structure (refer to the parking section for a detailed account ofparking allocation). An Exterior Alteration request will accommodate the addition of the spa to the Lodge facility. once the project is approved a subdivision application will be submirted to create a sepa.rate parcel under the Lodge South rower. Refer to section rV, B of this report for an analysis of review criteria applicable to these development applications.

The Residence CIub provides the main economic engine, or revenue source, that will fund the wide range of public improvements and other guest service-oriented uses. Among these improvements are the new Vista Bahn Park, skier services facilities, public restrooms, and the consolidation ofparking and loading in a sub-surface facility. The Residence Club includes 13 interval ownership units in six-duplex buildings and one-triplex building. The units are relatively small three-bedroom units of approximately 2,800 sq. ft. The interval ownership units as proposed will comply with the Town's criteria for fractional fee units, which require ownership intervals of no less than 6 and no more than 12. If market forces dictate, the residence club may be sold as private whole ownership residences. Owners of the residence club will also have access to the ski club facility. Relatively small building footprints allow for a site design that "steps" up ths hillside. All required parking is located in a structure below the units. Vehicular access will be offofthe same road that serves the ski club. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Subrnittal *.'{i 14 .o In order to reduce the overall bulk and mass ofthe structures, the club residences have been "benched" into the hillside. The units are also 'terraced" up the hillside in a manner similar to the proto-typical European alpine village. The site design, architecture and use of materials draw from both this European proto-type urd Vail antecedents. The proposed structures are consistent and compatible with the surrounding residential uses in terms of design, scale, and massing. The Residence CIub units (above) have been designed to mimic the site design of Ewopean alpine villages.o 15 VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal All required parking and loading will be located below grade in an enclosed parking structure. Owners will access their units from the parking structure via elevators. With this design there will be no surface asphalt parking, the result of which will be substantial landscaped areas and pedestrian walkways throughout the site. The proposed Residence Club implements several town goals and policies, most notably by increasing the supply of beds in Vail Village and by improving the vitaltty and aesthetics of the town. These additional live beds will help to stimulate Vail's economy by locating guests immediately adjacent to Varl's core retail area. From a revisw process standpoint, the Rssidence Club will be reviewed as an element of the proposed development plan that has been submitted in accordance with the proposed Ski Base/Recreation II zone district. In addition, a variance to the Town's Hazard Regulations pertaining to construction on slopes in excess of 40% will also be required. Refer to section IV, C of this report for an analysis of revisw criteria applicable to these development applications. 4. OVERVIEW OF SKI CLUB The Ski Club is being developed to further Vail Resort's and the Town's goal of attracting guests to Vail, improving services and facilities for guests and creating an environment that will keep guests in Vail at the end of the day. The Ski Club is a membership facility similar to the Alpine Club in Arrowhead, the Beaver Creek Club, and the Bachelor Gulch Club lounge located in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The Club will provide gathering areas to its members and guests, lockers, ski/board storage, changing rooms, showers and use of the Lodge pool and spa areas. The Ski Club will also be available to the owners of the Residence Club. The Ski Club is cenrallv locatod between the Residence Club and the Vista Babn Park. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal L6 o The Ski Club has been designed as a low profile building thar is only one-story at grade with two sub-surface levcls. Below grade uses will consist primarily of back of the house functions such as lockers, ski storage and rncchanical functions. The cllub has becn strategically designed and sited in rcsponse to conccms ofneighbors to the north of the project. The architecture will rnake this structure, although small in stature, a landmark element at the base of Vail Mountain. Ski Club - West Elevation Ski Club - South Dlevation Ski Club - North Elevation o VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Devr:lopment Suhmittal t7 Parking for the Ski Club will be provided in a central below-grade parking facility to be located behind the Lodge at vail. while the Town's parking regulations would require approximately 14 parking spaces forthis club use, it is anticipated that a total of approximately 97 parking spaces will be allocated for use in this structure to club members. These parking spaces will not be sold, but rather will be available on a first come-hrst serve basis to members. Based on VRDC's study of other similar facilities, these parking spaces will support up to 300 club members. This ratio of parking to members will ensure that the new parking spaces, strategically located at the base of Vail Mountain, will have a very high utilization rate. On peak days valet service will be able to park additional vehicles with in the park-ing area. In doing so, the Ski Club and associated parking will serve to reduce the strain placed on the Town's public parking structures by providing additional parking capacity for skiers in the Town of Vail. The Skier Club will divert a portion of the Town's existing parking demand from the Village Parking Structure to this new parking Strucl ure. The Ski Club also represents one of the primary economjc engines that will create revenue to fund the range of public improvements associated with the Front Door. In addition, the Club is expected to be an economic engine for the Town of Vail. Given its location in the heart of the Vail Village, once in Vail club members will be more likely to remain in vail at the end to the dki day and boost vail's economy by spending dollars in restaurants and retail stores. Further, with club members ski equipment being stored in Vail, members will be far more likely to ski in Vail rather than skiing in other areas. From a review process standpoint, the Ski Club will be reviewed as an element of the proposed development plan that has been submitted in accordance with the proposed Ski Base/Recreation II zone district.

OVERVIEW OF LOTS P3&J (VAIL PARK) The proposed re-development of Lot P3 and Lot J is intended to address two major goals: To upgrade existing conditions of the site by replacing the majority of the existing surface parking lot with a neighborhood park, and To provide an additional source of parking for the sunounding neighborhood and to the grealer Vail community. This development concept is in keeping with goals of the vail village Master Plan. The upgrading of this site has been a long-standing goal of the Town. The VVMP specifically identifies this site "as appropriate for park/open space and/or central loading and delivery facilities". Plans for Vail Park address both ofthese goals. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Develonment Submittal 18 .,o Lot P3 and Lot J were created with the original platting of Vail Village. As platted, the two lots are separated by a Town of Vail right-of-way. For reasons unknown, a road was constructed outside of this right-of-way on the westernmost portion of Lot P3. Cunently Lot P3 is zoned Parking and Lot J is zoned Public Accommodation. Nofwithstanding this zoning, these two lots have historically bcen used as parking. There are cunently 38 parking spaces on the site, some of which are dedicate d for use by thc Christiania Lodge. The proposed redevelopment of this site includes the construction of a sub-surface parking struc1ure containing 93 parking spaces and three enclosed loading bcrths. The upper story of the parking structure is essentially located at the cunent grade of the existing parking lot. On this "at-grade" level ofthe site are parking spaces dedicated for use by the Christiania, a srnall structure containing stairs and an elevator for access to the parking and loading below, and a public park area. In response to existing topography of the site, an "upper" access to the Christiania parking is provided offofHanson Ranch Road and a "lower" access to the structurc is provided off of Gore Creek Drive. \L- Plans for P3&J include a neighborhood park, extensive landscaping and pedestrian circulation improvements. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Develooment Submittal \ \ l ; I I ) 'i:* l9 While the general use of P3&J remains the same as it is today, the overall function and aesthetics are greatly improved by the addition oflandscape features and the public park. The proposed parking structure is completely concealed below grade and incorporates creative grading and landscape elements to integrate ths structure with the site. Existing loading spaces on Gore Creek Drive are re-located to the enclosed structure, greatly improving the sunounding streetscape. The proposed site design responds to neiglrboring uses by providing substantial landscape buflers and improved access for pedestrians to and through the new park. A dedicated pedestrian sidewalk will be added to the "Chute Road", greatly improving what is now a very unsafe condition for pedestrians. The neighborhood park has been designed as a quiet gathering space to include pedestrian paths, lawn areas, and seating areas. P" i;,: i& Extensive landscaping and creative grading have been incorporatod into the design of the parking structure and park in order to integrate the improvements with the site and surrounding neighborhood. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV De velopment Submittal EAST ELEVATION SOUTH ELEVATION 20 r'-o PLAZA LEVII PLAN Materials used on the small elevator structure include a rich pallet of stone, stucco and timbers. building and the parking structue respect the designated Gore Range view corridor. The 93 parking spaces provided in the sub-surface structure will be "for-sale" deeded parking spaces. These spaces have been made available to immediately adjacent residential and commercial owners, residential and commercial owners within the vicinity, and if there are remaining spaces they will be made to other select individuals. Since many residences in Vail Village were developed with either limited or no parking facilities, it is anticipated that many of these spaces will be purchased by area homeowners and business people that cunently have no or inadequate parking. As this parking area is providing additional parking supply, it will help to achieve another Town goal of reducing the overall demand placed on other public parking facilities within the Town. From a process standpoint, the development of Vail Park will require approval of a subdivision to merge the two lots, abandon the existing right-olway and croate a new right-of-way; the re-zoning of Lot J from Public Accommodation to Parking; and Conditional Use Permits for the public park and the parking structure. Refer to section IV, A of this report for an analysis of review criteria applicable to these development applications.o 2l VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 6. one of the major design features of the Front Door is the manner in which parking, loading and circulation has been handled. Currently, parking and loading in and around the base of Vail Mountain is disorganized and visually unappealing. A major benefit of the Front Door project is to consolidate virtuatly all parking and loading functions in a central below-grade facility. This structure is located immediately south of the l-odge properties and extends from the Lodge South Condominiums on the west to one vail Place on the east. The parking, loading and circulation solution at the base of Vail Mountain will not only address the functional aspects and zoning requirements of the project, it will also result in dramatic improvements to the visual quality of this portion of the village.

An additional 27 spaces are provided in a separate structure beneath the Residence Club. The central parking structure includes three levels and will provide parking for the Ski Club, the skier service building, the Lodge at Vail and the Lodge South Condominiums. Parking for the Lodge at Vail and the Skier Club will be serviced by valet and as such, the majority of the parking spaces provided will be valet spaces. A breakdown of how parking spaces will be allocated in the central structure is: Replacement of existing surface spaces I 30 (ofthese replacement spaces, 15 are allocated to Lodge South) l Skier Service Building "Additional" Lodge at Vail Parking Skier Club Parkine A detailed breakdown of the parking requirements for the Skier Lodee and the Skier Club is as follows: 5J 36 100 196 Use Skier CIub Sq.

Net floor areas were used for parking calculation pursuant to Town Code. 2. Ski school and employee areas were assessed at office use rate., 3. Parking for the Residence club is provided in accordance with town requirements in a separate parking structure or area. Loading The proposed uses at the Front Door generate a need for loading and delivery berths pursuant to Title 72,Zoning Regulations, Chapter 10, Off Street Parking and Loading, The proposed uses include Iodging (existing facility), skier club, skier services, and the residence club. Since this facility is serving multiple uses the loading regulations allow a multi-use reduction in the number of loadine berths required. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submiual .A L"j Based on the formula below the Front Door project generates a requirement for a total of 5 loading berths. The Town code defines a loading berth as a space that is 12' wide and 25' long with 14' ofheight clearance. The proposed plan provides for all required loading in a totally enclosed loading facility. Loading spaces meet or exceed the loading berth size requirements as per the Town Code.

For instance, the skier services square footage does not include public and employee restrooms, ski storage areas, and employee locker rooms and related spaces. This is justified by the fact that these spaces do not generate demand for loading facilities and is beyond the intent of the loading regulations. The loading regulations anticipated "typical" retail and service uses and not uses with abundant storage and public services. The loading analysis is for the net increase of the proposed development. The existing Lodge at vail has two existing loading spaces. These two Ioading spaces are being removed from their current location and replaced jn the sub-surface parking and loading facility and are included in the overall requirement expressed above. Per Town code, five (5) loading berths is the maximum number of loadins berths required for any mixed-use project. o 25 VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal Any additional loading spaces to be provided to help the Town with loading for uses off- site and not part of this development will be negotiated with the Town. Vehicular circulation includes both a below-grade and at-grade access corridor. The at-grade corridor provides access to the Residence Club, the Skier Club and One Vail Place. The below grade corridor providos access to tho loading faciliry and the rmderground parking structure. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 26 o C. EMPLOYEEHOUSING The Town of Vail has imposed employee-housing requirements on new and redeveloped properties in the Town of Vail for a number of years. While the Town does not havei codified employee housing regulation, it has historically relied upon a study prepared by Rosall Remmen cares in 1991 (entitled "Employee Generation Rat"r"; in order to estimate the number of employees expected to be generated by a development. The Town has typically required that a developer provide housing for l5vo or 30Vo of the generated employees. The307o rate has been generallybeen assessed to projects that are being developed in excess of the density allowed by zoning (i.e., within speclat Development Districts). The l|Vo rate has consistently been assessed to projects that are developed at densities within their allowable development rights. The Front Door project is proposed to be developed within the density ofexisting or proposed zoning and therefore employee-housing requirements have been calculated at the l5Vo rate. Vail Resorts is committed to providing housing for its employees. It is expected that rhe employees generated by the Front Door project will be accommodated in i new employee housing project to be proposed as an element ofthe Lionshead redevelopment. This employee housing project will be part of the Lionshead re-development project to be submitted to the Town in the coming months. Based on the Town's methodology, the Front Door project creates a requirement to house 13 employees.

ANNEXATION OF USFS LAND This section of the report includes all of the necessary components for annexations of land to the Town of Vail as part of the Front Door project. A. Background on Annexation The parcels being proposed for annexation include the proposed Forest Service land exchange parcel (in process) and the Mill Creek Subdivision Lots 1 and 2. These parcels were both part of an annexation that occurred in the mid-1980's. In the early 1990's it was determined that portions of the 1980 annexation were invalid. However, it was accepted by the Town that a 2,065-acre portion (the Mill Creek Subdivision) of the 1980 annexation was in fact valid. In 1999 the Town formally de-annexed all ofthe land included in the 1980 annexation except for the Mill Creek Subdivision. In the interest of clarity and to re-assure the validity of the annexation of the 2.065-acre Mill Creek Subdivision, the land owner is proposing to de-annex the Mill Creek Subdivision and re- annex it to the Town of Vail. The total land area of both proposed annexations is 6.007 acres more or less. Refer to the Context/Parcel Map in Chapter I. for a depiction of these parcels. B. Annexation Plats A reduced copy of the proposed annexation plats are found in the Appendix of this report. These maps show the full extent of the annexation and the proposed Town boundary. These annexations include the3.942.acre Forest Service exchzurge parcel and the 2.065-acre parcel known as Lots I and 2 of the Mill Creek Subdivision. As required by state statute, the annexation also depicts the proposed annexations contiguity with the eiisting Town of Vail boundary. C. Annexation Petitions Two annexation petitions have been included in the appendix ofthis report. Since a portion of this annexation includes Forest Service land that is in the process ofbeing exchanged with Vail Resorts, Vail Associates, lnc. has signed the application in accordance with Colorado Law it is anticipated that the annexation will not become final until such time as Vail Resorts takes title to the USFS land.

PROJECT REVIEW CRITERIA The Town has adopted numerous ordinances, review procedures and criteria to be used in evaluating development proposals such as Vail's Front Door. This chapter includes the review criteria to be used for each of the development applications that have been submitted for the project. In addition to these criteria, analysis ofthe proposed project's compliance with each of these criteria is also provided. With regard to re-zoning and subdivision requests, reference should be made to the Zoning/Subdivision Map at the end of the chapter. A.Lots P3&J Development plans for P3&J involve requests for subdivision, rc-zoning, and conditional use permits. These criteria are required to be addressed by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council prior to taking action on these applications. Refer to subsection II, B, 5 for a detailed description ofdevelopment proposed for Lots P3 and J. , Minor Subdivision - To consolidate parcels, vacate r.o.w. and create new r.o.w. The burden ofproof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in compliance with the intended purpose of Tille 13, Chapter 4, the zoning ordinance, and other pertinent regulations that the PEC deems applicable. Due consideration shall be given to lhe recommendations by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under Section l3-3-3-3.C. The PEC shall review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town, environmental integrity and compatibility with surrounding uses. Analysis:. The proposed re-subdivision of Lot P3 and J will correct a long-standing error that occurred when the road connecting Hanson Ranch Road and Gore Creek Drive was constructed outside of the Town's road right-of-way. A new right-of-way will be created in the location of the existing road. Additionally, the proposed re-subdivision will consolidate the two lots to allow for the redevelopment of the site. The site wiII go from a low qualiry su(ace parking area to a high quality and aesthetically pleasing structured parking area and public park. The proposal will not ha'te adverse impacts on the environment as evidenced in the Environmental Impact Report submitted with the applictttions for this site. The proposed use will be nrcre compatible with the sutounding uses than the existing use due to the addition of a p ubli c p ark s p ac e and s ub st antial lands c ap e/p e de s t ri an imp r ov eme nt s. VAIL'S FRONTDOOR TOV Development Submittal 29 Re-zoning - To re-zone Lot J from Public Accommodation to Parking a. Factors, Enumerated: Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the planning and environmental commission and town council shall consider the following factors with respect fo the requested zone district boundary amendment: (1) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and Analysis: Section VI of this document outlines all of the goals and policies implemented or which provide supportfor the proposed rezoning and proposed development planfor the P3 and J site. The proposed rezoning specffically implements the Vail Village Master Plan Sub-Area policy 7-I which states that development oJ'this site should be restricted to parking and other publ.ic purpose uses. The proposed rezoning and proposed development plan is consistent and compatible with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and the Town's development objectives. (2) The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set dut in the town's adopted planning documents; and Analysis: The proposed zoning establishes zoning that is more consistent with both existing and proposed uses on the parcel. The proposed use of the property will remain as parking with the addition af a public park area and loading areas. The property is surrounded by residential uses and parking for those uses. The proposed zoning and use of the property (parking and public park) is consistent with the existing and potential uses in the area and i6 consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan. (3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and Analysis: The proposerl zoning is consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property (parking and loading). The proposed zone district implements speciftc goals of the Vail ViIIage Master PIan by restricting the use of the landfor parking, loading, and park uses. The proposed re-zoning presents o harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship wi.th land uses in the area consistent witlt the existing and proposed use of the property. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 30 (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 communitv as a whole: and Artalt,sis: The proposed re-Toning establishes one consistent zoning for tlte properry. Parl of the pun:el is currently zoned Parking District and the proposed re-zoning simply extends that Tone district to unother portion of the property. The rc-zoning wil,l create a zone district rttttsistent with the existing and proposcd use oJ'the property. The proposed re-Toning and det,elopntent plan provide for the deve.lopment of an orderly v,iable contmtnzitl, gpn5itlrnt u,,ith the Town's dettelopment interests as expressed in the Vail ViLl.age Master Plan. (5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial inlpacts on the natural environment, including, but not lirnitcd to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features; and Anal.ysi,y: Given the devektpt:d nature of the properU- and the Jindings of the Environmental Impact lleport, the proposad project u,iil not result in adverse impacts to the erwirontneri including water quality, air quality, rtoise, vegetation, ripurian corridors, ltillsides, or otJxer natural feutures. The project will re,-ult in bene.ficial inlpacts resultittg lront properls, designed structures, drainage J'acilities, and additional vegetatiort bcin.g added to the site. (6) The extent to rvhich the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose slalenrcnt of the proposed zone district; and Analvsis: T'he Parking Zone District is proposed Jbr thc subject property. The proposed zone district is t'ottsistent w,ith the intended purpose of that zone district. The proposed use oJ the property ic u structured parking and loading area und a public park. All olthe proposed uses are listed in the purpose statement and the list of allov,able and conditiottal uses for the Parking 7.one District. (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 Analr-sis: The use ofthe propertl,for ntore than two decades hus been parking. However, the ztning desigttation of a portiotl of the propertl,has been Public Accomnzodationfor VAII-'S FRONT DOOR TOV Developmcnt Subnritral 3l the same period of time. The Vail Village Master Plan identffies the property as being appropriate for parking. The existing zone district does ilot appear to be consistent with the envisioned use of the property and is perhaps no longer appropriate. Conditional Use Permit - Structured parking and public park Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed park and structured parking/loading uses (see detailed project description in subsection II, B, 5 of this report): L Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Anallsis: The proposed use as a structured parking lot implements specific long-term goals of the Town as expressed in the Vail Village Master Plan. The Vail Village Master Plan identifies this site as an appropriate location for a parking facility and for other public uses such as a park. The proposal is therefore consistent with the development objectives of the Town. 2 The effect ofthe use on light and air, distribution ofpopulation, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Analysis: The proposed use of the land wiII have little, if any, effect on population, light and air, utilities, and schools as the proposed use is a parking and loading facility and public park. T'he proposed use will accommodate the existing loading functions occurring on and adjacent to the site in a tnore fficient and orderly manner. The proposed parking structure will act to the reduce demand on tlrc public parking J'acilities in VaiI thus producing more capacity to the general public. The proposed public park will increase the supply of public gathering and recreational areas within the Town. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal ofsnow from the street and parking areas. Analysis: The proposed re-development of this site wiII act to improve trffic Jlow, t,ehicular and pedestrian safety, vehicular maneuverability, and snow removal. The current loading and delivery that occurs on and adjacent to the site is unorganiled and VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 32 o unsightll. The proposed plan removes most of the loading functions from the public street anrl places it within a concealed parking structure. The current unorganized loading area tend.r to conJlict with pedestrian movement and access. The proposed. plan improves this conJlict by providing pedestrian walkways, stairs, and elevators. The proposed plan also improves snow removal by lintiting the numbe r of surface parking spaces and by introducing substantial landscape zones to accommodate and facilitate snow removal. Refe, to the Envirorunental Impact report for additional inJormation regarding impacts to these issues. 4- Effect upon the character ofthe area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk ofthe proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Atmlysis: The proposed redevelopment of this surface parking area and loading zone will improve the overall character of the area by concealing passenger and delivery vehicles to a greater degree than occurs on the site today. The majority of the parking structure is located below grade, however, there is a small structure located on top ofthe parking structure. The scale ofthe proposed structure, whichprovides access for pedestrians to the sub-surface parking area, is far less than all of the surrounding develapment and structures. The proposed park area will also improve the character of the area and provide an amenity to adjacent residential and commercial buildings. O B. Lodge at vail Below is the list of criteria for exterior alteration request. These criteria are to be addressed by the Planning and Environmental Commission/Town Council prior to taking action on these applications. Please refer to subsection II,B,2 for a detailed description of development proposed at the Lodge at Vail. Exterior Alteration - Modifications to the Lodge at Vail Below is the list of Urban Design Considerations found in the Vail Village Design Considerations. Each of these criteria is being implemented in some form by the proposed redevelopment plan. l. Pedestrianization/VehiclePenetration Anabtsis: The proposed addition and redevelopment of a portion of the Lodge at Vail will have limited impacts on pede.strianization and vehicle penetration given the location of the proposed improvements. The proposed plan will, however, improve the operation and movement of pedestrians within the Lodge property itself. Since this project is tied directly to the redevelopment activities on the Front Door project, many of those enhancements will improve the overall VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal JJ 2. J. pedestrianization in and aroundthe site. No additionalvehicle penetration is proposed by the project. Streetscape Framework Anabtsis: Given the location of the proposed improvements, there will be no impacts upon the streetscape framework of the Vail Village. Street Enclosure Anqlysis: Given the location of the proposed improvements, there will be no impacts upon the street enclosure in the Vail VilIaBe. Street Edge Analysis: Given the location of the proposed improvements, there will be no iwpacts upon the street edge in the Vail Village. Views Analysis: Given the location of the proposed improvements, there will be no impacts upon protected views within the Vail Village. Service and Delivery Analysis: Sewice and delivery to the Lodge at VaiI is being greatly improved by the proposed redevelopment plans. The existing outdoor loading areas are being removed and placed within the undergroundfaciliry provided on the adjacent Front Door parcel. This remol)es an unsightly faciliry located at the front door to the Vail ski mountain that is viewed not only by hotel guests but also by anyone visiting the Vista Bahn ski yard. The proposedfaciliry will be a substantial improvement over the existing condition by creating an oll-weather and cancealed delivery faciliry in the heart of the Vail ViIIage. No existing service alleys within the Vail Village will be impacted by the improvements to the Lodge at Vail. A 5. 6. 7. Sun/Shade Anah'sis: Given the location of the proposed improvements, there witl be little if any impacts to sun/shade. The proposed improvements are located on the south and west side of an existing building (at a lower level than the existing building) and given the angle of the sun these improvements will not cast shadow to any public areas. Please reJer to the sun/shade analysis provided under separate cover with the project submittal. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 34 C.

Factors, Enurnerated: Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendrnent, the planning and environmental commission and town council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested zone district boundary amendment: (l) The extent to which thc zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elentents of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail cornprehensivc plan and is compatible with the development objcctives of the town; and AnaLvsis: Section VI of this document outlines all of the goals and policir:s implenrcnted or tvhich provide support for the proposed rez.oning and pntposed devel,opment plnn for the Front Door project. 'I-he Vail Village Master PIan is proposed to be umended to promote and encouroge lhe zortirtg and uscs proposed for this site. The proposal will fa<:ilitate the improventent and revitalizcttion of tfu: Vail VilLage and specifically, the ntain portul to the Vail ski mountairu a lottg-standittg goul of the '[own. The proposed rezoning is cottsistent with thc amended Vail Village Master Plun and the Vail lttnd llse Plan when taken as a whole. (2) The extent to which thc zone district amendrnent is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and p<ltential surrounding land uscs as set out in the town'.s adopted planning docurnents; and Analysis: The proposed resoning will facilitate the upgrude and revilalization of the fronl door to the Vail Village. The proposal v,ill albw the removal of sune unsightly and unorganizcd uses and replace those nith uses, w,hich are compatible with the surrounding residential and contmercial activities and consistent with the operatiort of a ski mow ain. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 35 (3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and Analysis: The proposed rezoning wiII facilitate the upgrade and revitalization of the front door to the Vail Village. The proposal will allow the removal of some unsightly and unorganized uses and replace those with uses, which are compatible with the surrounding residentiql and commercial activities. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals and policies of the Town and presents a hannotious, convenient, and workable relationship with land uses in the area. (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 communitv as a whole: and Anallsis: The proposed rezoning and development plan provide for the development of an orderly viable community consistent with the Town's development interests. Given the size ofthe parcel being zoned, the context'and current use of the site, and proposed development plan for the site, the proposed rezoning does not constitute spot 7.oning. The intended uses in this zone district including ski lifts, skier services and. ticketing, and loading and delivery functions will allow the efficient operation of the ski base area while improving the overall access to and aesthetics of the VaiI Villape. (5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features; and Anal!sis: Given the nature of the property and based on the Environmental Impact Report provided the proposed project will not result overall in adverse impacts to the environment including water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides, or other nalural features. Any impacts to vegetation and natural fealures will be offset by additional enhancements and improvements throughout the proposed site. The project will result in beneficial impacts resultingfrom properly designed qnd constructedfacilities, which will be developed to the Towt's development standards. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Develooment Submittal 36 o (6) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the pu{pose statement ofthe proposed zone district; and Anallsis: The ski Base Recreation 2 zone District is being proposed for the subject property. We believe the proposed Tone distict is consistent with the intended purpose of that zone district. The proposed uses include residential dwellings, underground parking and loading, skier services, and other uses typically associated with a major base area/portal to a ski mountain. The proposed uses are consistent with the purpose of the Ski Base Recreation 2 Zone District. (7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation ofthe subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate; and Analysis: The existing property is zoned Natural Area Preservation District. r\n-zoned property in the Town of Vail automatically deJaults to this zone district. The existing uses on the property include parking, ski lifts, ski storage, mountain access roatls, and other related uses. The proposed rezoning of the land will facilitate the improvement and revitalization of the Front Door ski base area to the vail ski mountain. Given the location, setting, and condition of the property, the existing zoning designation is perhaps inappropriate. ski Base/Recreation 2 Development Plan - vista Bahn Park, Ski club, Residence Club, Parking & Loading The following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluatrng aproposed development plan. It shall be the burden ofthe applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Analysis: The proposed redevelopment of vail's Front Door has been designed to the highest quality ofarchitecture drawingfromvail's architecturalvernacular. Above grade structures have been designed to a bulk and mass consistent with neighboring properties. The proposed skier services and ski club building have been designed as low-level one story structures to respect private agreements and covenants. The residential structures have been benched into the hillside and contain three stories. AII of the proposed parking and loading for the project has been provided in a sub- surface structure, thus reducing the visual impacts of these uses on the neighbors and the community as a whole. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submirral o JI The proposed development is consistent in design, character, and mass with the Town's Design Guidelines and with neighboring uses and structures. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. Anal:tsis: The proposed development plan is designed to respond directly to the skier services and activities currently existing and proposedfor the site. The Front Door site is situated in an area where skiers, shoppers, and residents interface with the VaiI Village and the ski mountain. The proposed design responds to this intedace to provide order, interest, and vitality. The proposed uses are intended to provide essential services to residents and tourists while at the same time concealing back of house Qpe uses and functions in a sub-surface parking and loading area. The proposed residences are designed and located in an area that has little impact on adjoining residential uses and is responsive ta the overall site. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. Analysis: The proposed development has been developed to maximize the amount of quality ope,x space areas and improve public access. This has been achieved by placing all parking and loading in an undergroundfacility thus providing public surface areas ^for skiers and pedestrians to move within and through the site. The stntctures have been logically located on the site to have the least disruption to neighbors and to respond Io the unique qualities of the site. For instance the skier club and the skier services buildings have been designed as low-Ievel one story structures and have been located in areas that maximize their use by the public and club members. Land.scaping and buffering have been generously planned throughout the tite to create an aesthetically pleasing environment. The proposed plan improves oyerall the public access to and through the property. The majority of the site (i.e., the ski yard) will be improved as a public areafor skiers in the winter and pedestrians in the sunxmer. VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal 38 D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efhcient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. Analysis: The primary focus of the Front Door project is to provide a convenient, fficient, and memorable experience for the visi.tor and resident of VaiI. 'fhe pedestrian circulation system has been improved to provide lift access to skiers with the least number of barriers (i.e., stairs and steps) and b1t providing essential skier services in a logical and fficient location. The vehicular access to and through the site has been provided in a sub-surface area thal removes vehicles from view and provides a safe all-weather parking and loading area. Surface vehicular access is maintained for the One Vail Place Buildilry. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the projecth environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. Analysis: Environmental impacrs, if any, have been identified in the Environmenlal Impact Report providedfor the project. Necessary mitigation measures, if any, have been identified, addressed, and implemented in the project design. F. Compliance with the Vait comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. Analysis: The proposed project complies with the Town's master planning documents as applicable to the site. As discussed throughout this document the proposed development plan implements nume rous Totvn policies and goals. Section VI of this document specifically outline.s all of the goals and policies addressed by the proposed redevelopment plan. Variance to Hazard Regulations - 409o slope Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance: a. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinitv. Analvsis: The intent of the slope resti.ctiotxs in the hazard regulations is to prevent development in areas that are potentially unstable and in areas that are consistently steep. The proposed development site contains isolated areas in excess of407o slope that occur in the middle ofthe proposed development site. These 40Vo sloped areas :o 39 VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submittal Lre not contiSuous with other vast steep hillside areas. The clear intent of the hazard regulations was to prevent generally the development of steep hiilsides and not to' " protect" small isolated areas from development. This hazard regulation provides an exceptionfor duplex and single family zoned areas. The proposed development ofthe site with isolated pockets of40vo slope is proposed as subsurface parking and residential development. The proposed development on 40Vo slopes is consistent with the residential development occurring on adjacent properties, b. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specif,red regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. Analysis: The intent of the slope restrictions in the hazard regulations is to prevent development in areas that are potentially unstable and in areas that are of consistently steep slopes. The proposed development sile contains isolated areas in excess of40Vo slope that occur in the middle ofthe proposed development site which are areas clearly not intended to be reslricted by the hizard rrguloiion. These 40Vo sloped areas are not contiguous with other vast steep hillside areas. Geological reports subnzitted with the application indicate that the proposed development site is suitable for the type of development being proposed. r'he proposed variance will allow the owner to attain the objectives and intent of the z.oning regulations without a grant of special privilege. c. The effect ofthe requested variance on light and air, distribution ofpopulation, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Analysis: The proposed variance will have little, if any, negative i,npact on light and air, transportation and trffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The proposed variance will facilitate the development of l3 dwelring units on the property. These dwelling units are allowed on the property regardless of the approval of this variance, but the literal interpretatiott of the hazard regulation would present a pracrical dfficulty to the development of the site beyond the intent of the repulation. o VAIL'S FRONT DOOR TOV Development Submitral 40 o -t_'- o l) A f'dd .!halv!L. .ptlL:tLr b '..d.' br ll rd ln J l.lo |ol l! na l..n erlX|.n rull ,|l f6nr tl€ dddo?trd .rrli..rkd 4 'frirdnt'c|gr fd |ft. 1..8r p. .l ndldo lh.

Forest; It is our underutanding the Town of Varl ('I'OV) and Vaii Resons 1YR) are initiating a land use process involving National Forest System lands, commonly referred to as the Vista Bahn Ski Yard, at the base of Vail Mountain. Furthermore, the TOV and VR would like that process to run concurrently with the federal land exchange process that VR has begun with the White River National Forest. ln an attempt to facilitate the upgrade ofthe skier service facilities (i.e., ski school sales, ticket windows, ski rentals, public locker rooms, employee locker rooms, restrooms, and ski storage) and portions of a TOV freight delivery system, including loading docks and deiivery tunnel, VR wishes to amend the TOV Master Plan and zone the Ski Yard. Following the land exchange, it is our understanding that VR would seek to annex the Vista Bahn Ski Yard into the Town of Vail. While the Forest Service acknowledges this land use process is being initiated, it must be clear that until the South G;rne Creek Land Exchange is successfully completed and the property is conveyed from Federal ownership; the TOV has no land usejurisdiction or authority over the Vista Bahn Ski Yard.

PLANNING and COMMUNITY DEVELOPI'4ENT January 6,2002 George Ruther, AICP Chief of Planning Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re: Proposed Ski Base/Recreation 2 Zone District and Amendment to text amendment to Commercial Core I Dear George: Enclosed you will find Vail Resorts Development Company's application for a zoning code text amendment to create the new Ski Base/Recreation 2 zone district and amend the Commercial Core I (CCf zone district. The following provides a bit of background with regard to these two amendment proposals. The proposed amendments and a summary of their compliance with applicable review criteria follows. Ski Base/Recreation 2 Zone District As you are aware from our previous discussions, Vail Resorts Development Company (VRDC) is proposing to annex and develop land at Vail's Front Door. The existing and proposed uses at the Front Door are consistent with those uses and activities commonly found at the base of a ski mountain. In review of the Town's existing zone districts there is not an existing zone district that reflects the unique combination of uses and activities typically associates with a ski base area. As a result, VRDC is proposing a new zone district that responds to the unique conditions of a ski base area. In addition to the proposed district, we have also provided a response to the review criteria used by the Town to evaluate code amendments. The proposed Ski Base/Recreation 2 zone district was modeled after the existing Ski Base Recreation zone district that that was written for the Golden Peak base area. We have crafted the uses and criteria for this new zone district to reflect the standards and criteria found in other chapters of the Town Code such as the Special Development Dishict chapter. Commercial Core I Amendments An element of the Front Door project includes a modest expansion to gross residential floor area (GPJA) at the Lodge at Vail. This expansion includes additions to three existing hotel rooms and the addition of two new hotel rooms. Three existins hotel rooms will be removed in Edwards Village Center: Surte C-209 0 | 05 Edwards Village Bor.rlevard Post Ofice Box 2658 Edwards, Colorado I | 632 fr1. - 970.926.7575 Fax - 970.926.757 6 www.braunassociates.com conjunction with this expansion and as a result there is no net increase to hotel rooms. There is, however, an increase of approximately 2,000 square feet of new GRFA. The Lodge at Vail has no remaining development potential necessary to construct this additional GRFA. As a result, a code amendment is proposed to the CCI district that would allow, under certain circumstances, a small increase to allowable GRFA and units to CCI properties that are built to or exceed allowable GRFA or units. This "additional development" would be available only if used for accommodation units. As with the recently approved amendments to the Public Accommodation zone district and the Lionshead Mixed Use zone districts, his additional development potential is seen as a mechanism for encouraging the upgrading and enhancement of existing properties in the Village. In addition to the proposed amendment, we have also provided a response to the review criteria used by the Town to evaluate code amendments. We hope that you will find our application materials complete and our proposal reasonable. If you have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to call me at926- It tJ.
