(PEC080065) Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, is requesting a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a request to for prescribed regulations amendments to the Vail Town Code pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-10- 19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to amend the core area parking maps to include "Ever Vail" within the "Commercial Core Areas" designation. The Ever Vail project is the proposed creation of a new portal to Vail Mountain on approximately 12.2 acres comprised of properties currently located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage Road West, and the South Frontage Road West right-of-way. Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and adopted criteria for review, the Community Development Department is recommending the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with a condition of the applicant's request for prescribed regulation amendments to Section 12-10-19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to the Vail Town Council. A complete summary of our review is provided in Section VII of this memorandum. 11. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, has submitted seven development review applications which will be reviewed and acted upon by the Planning and Environmental Commission prior to the conclusion of the review process. Those applications include: • A major subdivision to establish new lot configurations, rights-of-way, easements, etc; • An amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 4, Cascade, to remove the GLOB from the SDD; • A rezoning of the parcels created by the major subdivision to Lionshead Mixed Use-2; • An amendment to the Town Zoning Regulations to include the project within the "commercial core area" for calculating parking requirements; • A variance for site coverage for the below grade structure; • Several conditional use permits to allow for a new gondola, below grade parking structure, and below grade mountain operations service facility; and • A major exterior alteration to allow for multiple structures to be constructed. At today's hearing the applicant and staff are requesting the Planning and Environmental Commission take action on a request to forward a recommendation to the Vail Town Council with regard to proposed amendments to the prescribed regulations regarding the designation of "commercial core areas" found in Chapter 12-10, Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code. This request, if approved, would result in the use of the parking requirement schedule for commercial core areas. Within commercial core areas there is a reduction in the required parking for each land use located within a development. The reasoning behind this reduction was the result of a study which was performed in 1999 entitled Alternative Parking Ratio Analysis for the Vail Village and Lionshead Core Areas in Vail, Colorado, prepared by Felsburg Holt and Ullveg, the Town's consultant (Attachment A). The premise of reducing parking requirements in Vail Village and Lionshead was based upon the study's findings that: • "Higher levels of multi-purpose trip making, where a single vehicle trip is made to complete two or more trip purposes. • The proximity and viability of alternative transportation modes. • Hourly variation in the peak accumulation of parked vehicles between different land uses which tends to reduce the aggregate parking demand of the core area." Staff has attached to this memorandum a map entitled "Core Area Parking" which depicts the current properties included within the commercial core areas and the properties proposed for inclusion associated with Ever Vail (Attachment B). The applicant has provided documents entitled Commercial Area Parking Requirements (Attachment C) and Circulation (Attachment D) addressing the request to have Ever Vail designated a commercial core area. These documents are to be inserted in the binder of information entitled Ever Vail: Applications for a Major Subdivision, Rezoning, Text Amendment, Conditional Use Permits, Major Exterior Alteration, SDD Amendment & Variance to allow for the redevelopment of the West Lionshead Area which was provided at the December 14, 2009 hearing. Further more the applicant has submitted several revised sheets dated January 4, 2010, for inclusion into the 11AX17" set of drawings dated November 2, 2009, for the proposed Ever Vail project (Attachment E). The previous sheets can be removed and these sheets inserted. In addition to the request for a final recommendation on prescribe zoning regulations amendments the applicant will begin a discussion on surface circulation for both vehicles and pedestrians and potential scenarios for providing a high level of service within the proposed subterranean parking structures. A document entitled Ever Vail Garage Design Review prepared by Carl Walker provides details on how the 2 proposed subterranean parking structures could function to provide a high level of service to its users (Attachment F). BACKGROUND On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4, Series of 2007, which implemented the changes to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan regarding West Lionshead and the area now called Ever Vail. On December 22, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion included the Simba Run underpass, retaining walls, median planter design, etc. On January 7, 2009, the Design Review Board held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion focused on the retaining walls, bridge verse culvert crossing of the creek, and roadway design. On March 23, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously approved with condition(s) a partial preliminary plan to establish the right-of-way to be allocated for the relocated South Frontage Road adjacent to the interstate. On April 21, 2009, the Town Council endorsed the submittal of the proposed South Frontage Road relocation to the Colorado Department of Transportation by a vote of 3-1-1 (Foley opposed and Gordon abstained). On December 14, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a hearing to discuss the revised plans submitted on November 4, 2010 and more specifically the proposed parking counts for the project and the number attributed to each land use with not action requested.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Land Use Zoning North: CDOT ROW None South: Open Space Natural Area Preservation District East: Mixed Use Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 West: Mixed Use SDD No. 4, Cascade Village VII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The Vail Town Code prescribes the process, criteria, and findings for reviewing a proposed prescribed regulations amendment. In reviewing an application of this type the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendment: (1) The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and The eleven (11) specific purposes of the Vail Town Code are included in Section V of this memorandum. The proposal to amend the core area parking maps to include the proposed Ever Vail project specifically addresses purposes 3, 4, 5, and 6. In 1999 the Town identified that the provision of required parking in both Vail Village and Lionshead was unique from other areas in the community and that the existing regulations may not be applicable. Through the analysis performed by Felsburg, Holt, and Ulveg, the Town's transit consultants, it was determined that several factors such as mixed use development, proximity and frequency to mass transit, and differing peak times for various land uses resulted in synergies for the demand of parking spaces. After careful review by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council it was determined that Vail Village and Lionshead 9 should be include within a commercial core designation which would have a different required parking schedule. This result promoted the specific purposes of the Vail Town Code by addressing the need to provide for efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and lessening of congestion by appropriately locating off street parking and loading facilities. The adoption of a commercial core area parking requirement also addressed the need to maintain and establish workable relationships among land uses. (2) The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve 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 The elements of the Vail comprehensive plan that staff believes apply to this request are the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Vail Transportation Master Plan. These documents highlight the importance of parking, transit, and vehicular movement. Within the proposed Ever Vail project there are several aspects which address parking, transit, and vehicular movement to avoid conflicts. Furthermore, these aspects will work in concert with the proposal for a new gondola to support an approximately 12.2 acre new village portal. The aspects of Ever Vail which will work in concert with the proposed new village portal are similar to those found in both Vail Village and Lionshead. The Ever Vail project is proposed to include an enclosed four bus bay and 15 skier drop-off space facility, subsurface parking of 1,551 spaces of which 400 spaces will solely address skier parking demand, and a location for shuttle drop within a distance of approximately 500 to 900 feet of the gondola. Furthermore, the project includes a mix of various land uses including approximately 66,900 square feet of commercial, 33,600 square feet of office, 406 dwelling units, and 120 hotel rooms. These land uses will lend themselves to single trip multiple stop vehicular motions. Mass transit within Ever Vail is proposed to be addressed in several ways. Within the enclosed transit facility there are four bus bays to serve the Town's Green and Red outlying routes and Eagle County Transit buses. In addition to this facility it is proposed that the in-town bus route will have a pull out for two buses at the easternmost termination of Market Street in the proximity of the proposed grocery store. It is also anticipated that as the design for Market Street progresses, elements will be incorporated to facilitate the staging of additional buses on Market Street if needed for peak times. It is anticipated that the frequency of bus service will be as it exists throughout Town today. As the length of the in-town route expands it will cause the need for additional buses to maintain today's service standards of frequency. (3) The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and Since the establishment of the commercial core area parking requirements in 2000 there have been several changes in conditions. Those changes include amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to incorporate several additional properties into the extents of the Master Plan and the creation of specific recommendations for those properties. In general those amendments provided for 10 the establishment of a new lift to the mountain, an associated approximately 400 space public parking facility, employee housing, and other mixed use development. The Master Plan amendments began to lay the ground work for the establishment of a new portal onto the mountain. Subsequent to these amendments the applicant has been continuing to develop plans and submitting applications to facilitate the creation of. a new portal and associated village. If Ever Vail were to be approved it would indeed be of comparable land area (commercial cores) and land use composition to Vail Village and Lionshead. Therefore, if Ever Vail were to be approved staff believes the same premises by which Vail Village and Lionshead where placed within the commercial core areas would apply to a new portal exhibiting significant similarities with regard to vehicular needs and usage. (4) The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and For many of the reasons stated in the responses for the previous criteria staff believes that the placement of the proposed Ever Vail portal within the commercial core parking area maps results in a convenient and more workable relationship among land use regulations. As described it is anticipated that Ever Vail will function in many ways like Vail Village and Lionshead and therefore the regulation of Ever Vail should be similar. There are two specific areas which staff believes needs to have continued focus and effort to provide greater support for inclusion within the commercial core parking areas map. As the project continues to advance through the process and evolve, the pedestrian connection from the west side of Lionshead to Ever Vail along West Lionshead Circle will be scrutinized by staff to design and develop the strongest functional connection that can be established. This pedestrian link is critical to the success of both Lionshead and Ever Vail. The situation that staff is wanting to address are the barriers that we are consistently trying to resolve along Meadow Drive from Vail Village to Lionshead. In addition, the second area of focus and scrutiny will be the provision of transit option, numbers, and locations. The project currently contains provisions for skier drop-off, buses, hotel shuttles, private vehicles, loading and delivery, etc. Moving forward as the project is further refined and understood the aspects of transit discussed previously will continually need to be reexamined for their function, number, and location. (5) Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with a condition, to the Vail Town Council for prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-10-19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to amend the core area parking maps to include 11 "Ever Vail" (West Lionshead) within the "Commercial Core Areas" designation, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff's recommendation is based upon a review of the criteria and findings as outlined in this memorandum and from the evidence and testimony presented. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with a condition, of the applicants' request, staff recommends that the following condition be made as part of the motion: 1) That this recommendation for the inclusion of Ever Vail within the commercial core area parking map is contingent upon the approval of the remaining applications which will cause the project to receive its full entitlements. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with a condition, of the applicants' request, staff recommends that the following findings be made as part of the motion: 1) That the amendment is consistent with 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 2) That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and 3) That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

Ever Vail Garage Design Review prepared by Carl Walker dated January 4, 2010 12 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development DATE: April 10, 2000 SUBJECT: A request for a final review of the Town of Vail's Core Area Parking Analysis and proposed amendments to Chapter 12-10, Town of Vail Code. Planner: Brent Wilson Applicant: Town of Vail BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST PEC Update: On March 27th, the PEC conceptually reviewed the proposed amendments to the Town's parkin° regulations and directed staff to pursue the following changes to the parking requirements schedule: • A change in restaurant parking calculation from "number of seats" to "seating floor area." This way, restaurants would not be discouraged from providing large waiting or lobby areas. Staff believes the amount of kitchen area and staff a restaurant contains/employs is commensurate with the size of its seating area. Therefore.we believe "seating floor area" to be a simple, effective technique for calculating restaurant parking. Additionally, staff is recommending a "minimum parking space" requirement to cover restaurants that may not have any seating floor area (i.e. Taco Bell Express). The recommended parking requirement for restaurants has been amended to reflect the PEC's requests. • A change in meeting room/conference space parking from "number of seats" to "seating floor area." The parking requirement has not changed since the last. PEC meeting, but the method of calculation has been changed to "seating floor area"to remain consistent with the other uses identified in the Off-Street Parking and Loading code. • The PEC directed staff to pursue increasing the parking requirement for residential condominiums within the core areas. PEC proposed maintaining a parking requirement of 2 spaces/unit for each condo. This is our current parking requirement for units between 500-1 ,999 square feet. This represents a 30% increase over the consultant's recommendation for units within the commercial cores. Attachment A TOWN OF 1'AIII.% Page 1 of 5 AVAILkt1Ai"ATVL.RYON .T1: 'ZlF.LIOSMYJNPRKC t'tE.3.fX)C; History of the proposal During the summer of 1999, the Town hired the firm of Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig to conduct an in-depth analysis of parking generation in Vail's commercial core areas. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the influence of external factors (mixed uses, transit/pedestrian trips, hourly variations in business activity) on parking generation. Currently, the Town's parking regulations do not account for these factors and assess parking requirements strictly by land use type and square footage. Given the inability of many properties in Vail Village and Lionshead to provide on-site parking and the Town's $17,917 per space parking pay-in-lieu fee, staff realized a need to produce a more realistic assessment of parking generation in these areas. Over the past few months, the consultant examined data involving a number of factors influencing parking generation in Vail. Skier visits, parking structure transactions, land uses per square foot, parking turnover ratios (length of stay), and traffic (automobile, transit and pedestrian) counts were referenced and incorporated into a model. This model was used to determine a more accurate assessment of parking generation in the Town's commercial core areas. The consultant's recommendations are outlined in Section IV of this memorandum. It is important to note these recommendations are • applicable only to those properties that exhibit the characteristics outlined above (mixed uses, transit/pedestrian trips, hourly variations in business activity). Many areas of Vail (outside Vail Village and Lionshead) do not exhibit these characteristics and it would be inappropriate to apply these same rates at other locations. A copy of the consultant's study and findings has been included in your packet for reference. IL ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BOARDS Planning and Environmental Commission: Action: The PEC is advisory to the Town Council. The PEC shall review the proposal for and make a recommendation to the Town Council on the compatibility of the proposed text changes for consistency with the Vail Comprehensive Plans and impact on the general welfare of the community. Staff: The staff is responsible for ensuring that all submittal requirements are provided. The staff advises the applicant as to compliance with the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations. Staff provides analyses and recommendations to the PEC and Town Council on any text proposal. Town Council: Action: The Town Council is responsible for final approval/denial on code amendments. The Town Council shall review and approve the proposal based on the compatibility of the proposed text changes for consistency with the Vail Comprehensive Plans and impact on the general welfare of the community.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission recommend approval of the proposed code amendments to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to the following findings: 1. That the proposed code amendments further the development objectives of the • Town of Vail. 2. That the proposed amendments are in keeping with the purpose and intent of the Vail Land Use Plan and all other applicable master planning documents. 3. That the health, safety, welfare and interests of the community are being met by the adoption and implementation of the proposed code amendments. IV. FINDINGS The following table is a summary of the consultant's and the PEC's recommended parking rates for specific uses within the Town's commercial core areas.

It is important to note, however, that a large percentage of these spaces (47%)are privately-held and devoted primarily to private residential uses. There are only about 2,500 public parking spaces in the core areas to serve day skiers and their associated trips—with another 250 spaces outside the core areas at Ford Park. Any vacant private parking spaces are assumed to be unavailable for public day skier parking.

Higher levels of multi-purpose trip making, where a single vehicle trip is made to complete two or more trip purposes. The proximity and viability of alternative transportation modes. A Hourly variations in the peak accumulation of parked vehicles between different land uses which tends to reduce the aggregate parking demand of the core area. The following report documents the analytical process used to develop alternative parking generation rates specific to the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas. The analyses utilized 1Q98/1999 ski season data provided by the Town, including daily skier activity, parking transactions at both VTC and Lionshead parking structures, and existing land uses within the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas. • The above data were supplemented with available information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) on shared parking for mixed use developments A comparative evaluation with previous transportation engineeriing efforts in other Colorado resort towns was also utilized. • The resultant parking rates, documented below, are intended to be applied onlyto development occurring within the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas; the use of these rates in outlying areas would underestimate potential parking demands and could exacerbate any existing parking shortages.

Background The. Town of Vail is one of Colorado's premier mountain resort communities. Located along I- 70 just west of the Continental Divide, Vail provides unique year-round recreation opportunities, with emphasis on winter ski activity. Vail is one of the most recognized destination ski resorts in the state, and has hosted international ski competitions. Continuing growth, and the physical setting of Vail, have challenged the community to develop and maintain one of the most innovative and successful multi-modal, pedestrian oriented transportation systems, The Vail transit system is the second most utilized in the state, and consists of a core area shuttle coordinated with bus service to/from outlying areas, An extensive system of pedestrian/bicycle trails enhances multi:-rnodalism while providing recreational opportunities, Central parking facilities provide an interface between vehicular travel and pedestrian access to the core areas of Vail Village and Lionshead. Vail Village and Lionshead are located south of 1-70 along the south frontage road, as depicted in Figure 1 . Each of these pedestrian oriented core areas consists of a mix of residential, accommodation, commercial/retail, and restaurant uses. At Vail Village, the Vail Transportation Center (VTC) parking structure provides 1 ,200 parking for these uses, as well as for day skiers during the winter. A 1,300 space structure accommodates similar parking needs within Lionshead. 8_ Study Purpose Currently, new development or redevelopment within Vail Village and Lionshead is assessed parking impact fees by the Town of Vail based on requirements contained in the Town's standards. Due to the mix of uses and modal split characteristics, the concern has been, expressed that these standards may not be applicable in these core areas.. In these multi-use areas, the concept of 'shared" parking may provide alternative standards. Typically, two or more land uses in close proximity to each other may share the same parking supply without conflict or encroachment. This is often due to the difference in peak parking demand between the, uses; for example, parking spaces used during the day by office workers may be used during the evening hours by restaurant patrons. In addition, related land uses can result in multiple-purpose trip making, in which a single parking space satisfies several trip purposes. An example of this might be a shopping excursion with visits to several retail establishments and a restaurant for lunch.. With the close proximity of uses, the vehicle is parked once, and the remainder of the trips within the multi-use area are accomplished either on foot or via transit. Similar parking relationships between hotels and nearby restaurants has also been documented. Shared parking concepts are applicable in multiuse areas with the following characteristics: Mix of uses in close proximity. Continuous pedestrian connection. Strong transit element. 1 CT) LL --4--' (..) - ; > c. a N. .. . ,.., ‘ \\ — . ,-- a t0 0 ■-• C--- , Ci 2 <2 . ,... 11....., .,, .;' a 0, c-5a 41 - ill __I Et -,C- \ /,',- x•-' 1 Et - •'''•• 1 —0 anas, a 1 > . v ... .r.r....„ k- . tiz.'J ;2 -4''-.: 01' •:. • ' ','„..4,..2. i —•-4-.'

The analyses documented in this report are based on 1 998/1999 ski season data provided by the Town, including: Skier visits per day. Parking transactions at both VTC and Lionshead parking structures. • Existing and uses within the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas. • The above data were supplemented with available information on parking and shared parking from the Institute of Transportation Engineers and the Urban Land Institute. Previous transportation engineering efforts in other Colorado resort towns were also referenced. • • • • 3 II. EXISTING CONDITIONS • A. Parking Characteristics As previously stated, the VTC structure contains 1 ,200 parking spaces (including 18 handicap spaces), and the Lionshead structure contains 1 ,300 spaces (including 1'6 handicap spaces). Ford Park, a ski season temporary parking location, accommodates approximately 250 vehicles, bringing the total formal public parking supply within Vail to about 2,750 spaces. In addition to this public parking supply, private parking is also provided within the core areas, Based on data provided by the Town, the private parking supply in Vail Village is 1 ,228 spaces, with 995 private parking spaces in Lionshead. The demand for parking in Vail varies considerably between seasons, with the peak'ski season creating the highest demands. This demand is accommodated through a variety of public and private parking facilities. During peak times, public facilities such as the VTC and Lionshead structures, as well as the temporary parking lot in Ford Park, approach capacity. When the capacity of these three locations is exceeded, overflow parking occurs along the Frontage Road. Available parking data for the structures at VTC and Lionshead consist of the number of transactions conducted at each location per day during the 1998/1999 ski season. Each transaction represents a single vehicle's stay within a parking facility. Table 1 summarizes these data by month. Table 1.

Figure 2 graphically depicts the monthly parking transactions for both VTC and Lionshead structures the 1 998/1999 ski season. As shown, parking transactions peaked in March, with 60,1 41 transactions at the VTC and 41 ,8/111. transactions at Lionshead. This peak coincides with the highest month for skier activity based on proprietary skier visitation data information provided V by the resort, The peak ski day occurred on Saturday, February 13, 1999. On this date, the VTC recorded 2,042 parking transactions, and Lionshead recorded 1 ,394 transactions. The 15th highest ski day, typically used for planning purposes in Vail, occurred on Sunday, February 7, 1999. On this date, the VTC recorded: 1 ,966 parking transactions, and Lionshead recorded 1 ,392 transactions. 4 ,E,_,..,, „ i -----..i-,-; !-.,..,ft ,..,..., 70000 i I i, , . , } 60000 I , . . . ..!...,- 50000 . .._ , ,,:,, . .., •, i • : , 1 , 1 , 40000 ' _ - t;;;',,,,,,--4---• _ ..-,,,r__::.,...i.:..r.,, 30000 — ii:-,, -,.'t.I.,,I..., - - Vi t'Al. 17: 14'.tri .-.,v-,,,,-.„.,. ,,i,.. .... :A-R:k _ 1 20000 ' ,...---',.-s-'-= .',,--,g1-,, - 7,;';''*';`7."4= Atr-sts'Af,,.„ ''...-•'.Z' ' ''''' 4:z.-4'''-':"--V• 1.;:i.F4'!"-"'Z': , .:,7.R1,-,4,-,3,- ' .,.....:?:qt.fii 10000 : '..''''',:-•-3f.'

Typically, durations of 4 hours or less would be primarily attributable to commercial development. Day skier parking duration would be expected to fall within the 4 to 9 hour range, and residential/accommodation uses would account for most of the stays in excess of 9 hours. B.

As previously discussed, such combined land uses result in higher levels of multi-purpose trip making, where a single vehicle trip is made to complete two or more trip purposes. This results in a reduced demand for parking space from what might be expected in areas of less intense development. These core area uses are also seen to generate less demand for parking than similar uses in other areas of Vail due to the proximity and viability of alternative transportation modes. • Additionally, hourly variations in the peak accumulation of parked vehicles between different • • land uses tends to reduce the aggregate parking demand of the core area; this phenomenon is termed "shared parking". The Urban Land Institute (ULI) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) have published extensive data on shared parking for mixed use developments, This concept, in conjunction with the forgoing data, has been utilized in this analysis. • Y 0 . 0 . 9 (ll.

The KSF rates are based on 40 SF per seat (typical). Dependent on gross square footage of dwelling unit. ** Hotel with convention facility. The applicability of the current Town of Vail parking requirements were evaluated as they relate to the core area uses: Pesidentiai. The current parkind requirements are high for core areas, ranging from 1 .5 spaces to 2.5 spaces per dwelling unit dependant on the size of the unit. However, within the core areas, size of the dwelling unit is seen to have minimal effect on parking demand; these units are typically occupied by a single family with a single vehicle. It is, therefore, suggested that the residential parking requirement within the cora areas be reduced to 1 .4 spaces per dwelling unit. 10 Hotel. The current hotel parking requirements are 0.a space per accommodation, plus 0,1 space for each 100 square feet of floor area, with a maximum of 1 .0 space per accommodation unit_ For the core areas, a requirement -et 0.7 space per accommodation unit is suggested, with no ac.justment for the size of the unit. Time share and fractional 'ee residential units would also be considered as accommodation units with a parking requirement of 0.7 space per unit. For hotels with convention facilities, an additional requirement of 1_0 space per 11 seats is indicated to accommodate meeting attendees who are not staying at the hotel. • Retail. The current requirement of 3.33 spaces per 1,000 square feet (1 .0 space per 300 square feet) is high for core areas. A reduced parking requirement of 2.3 spaces per 1 ,000 square feet is suggested for the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas. Office. The current requirement of 4.0 spaces per 1 ,000 square feet (1 .0 space per 250 square feet) is typical for general office developments in suburban areas and is • high for core areas. It is suggested that a reduced parking requirement of 2.7 spaces per 11000 square feet is appropriate for the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas. • Restaurant. Town regulations currently require 1 .0 space per 8 seats, based on seating capacity or on Building Code occupancy standards (whichever is higher). This parking requirement is generally consistent with measured parking demands. However, an adjusted parking requirement of 1 .0 space per 12 seats is suggested for the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas to be consistent with other adjustments. • . Bank/Financial Institutions. The current requirement of 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet (1.0 space per 200 square feet) is typical for standard urban developments but high for denser resort areas. A reduced parking requirement of 3.7 spaces per 1,000 square feet is suggested for core areas. The above parking rates, recommended for use in the Vail Village and Lionshead core areas, are summarized in Table 5. Table 5. Recommended Core Area Parking Rates • Land Use Parking Rate i Residential 1.4 spaces per Dwelling Unit Hotel ' 0.7 spaces per Accommodation Unit Hotel with Convention Facilities 0.7 spaces per Accommodation Unit. plus 1.0 space per 11 Seats devoted to meeting/lecture seating General Retail 2.3 spaces per 1,000 Square Feet , Office 2.7 spaces per 1,000 Square Feet Restaurant 1.0 space per 12 Seats Bank/Finance 3.7 spaces per 1,000 Square Feet For parking purposes of q p arking re uirements time share and fractional fee units will be considered as accommodation units. 1l 11 The above parking rates are intended to be applied only to development occurring within the ail Village and Lionshead core areas, previously illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. The use of • these rates in outlying areas would underestimate potential parking demands and could exacerbate current parking shortages. These rates were developed based on the density and mix of uses within these areas with adjustments to reflect socio-political perceptions in Vail. As a means of comparison, the aggregate parking requirements were calculated for the land uses in Vail Village and Lionshead using both the recommended core area parking rates and the current rates from the Town of Vail regulations.

As currently proposed, Vail Village Ever Vail will be constructed with a total of 1,551 parking spaces, ` �� including the following: -_, • Public Skier Parking: 400 spaces `0 -:( -- , • Public Commercial Parking: 258 spaces -- ,: • Private Residential Parking: 489 spaces ®)= .- • Employee Replacement Parking: 318 spaces _ � � • VR Maintenance Employees: 50 spaces Commercial Core Area • Other Parking: 36 spaces Vail Resorts Development Company, as part of the Ever Vail Core Area Parking Map lI submittal, is proposing a text amendment for inclusion into the Core Lionshead Area Parking Requirements.

Irk' ' air *Background of the Core Area Parking Requirements �,� $ ���� The Core Area Parking Requirements were adopted in 2000, sue TEA°°`��'1- e 1 1 Commercial Core Area following the recommendation of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and based on research into appropriate parking Core Area Parking Map 111 generation rates in specialized, mixed-use areas such as the village Ever Vail cores of Vail. In 1999, the firm of Felsburg, Holt, and Ullevig (FHU) (Proposed) conducted an in-depth analysis of parking generation in Vail's commercial core areas. FHU incorporated a variety of factors, such y l? as skier visits, parking structure transactions, land uses per square ,_ foot, parking turnover ratios, and traffic counts, into a model to sz'' provide a more accurate assessment of parking generation. The ;�,-.. model was based on characteristics of Vail's core areas, including � *�e�`�A� ' mixed-uses, transit/pedestrian trips, hourly variations in business - activity, etc. In general, the Core Area Parking Requirement is a - � '`` 30% reduction of the parking requirements of the remainder of the i 4 Town of Vail. Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 Attachment C 1 It is important to note that some of the uses proposed in Ever Vail do not have a defined parking requirement and in those cases, the parking requirements are set by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The VRD and Ski School space, along with the spa, have been proposed at a rate of 1 per 1,000 sq. ft. of net floor area, similar to other projects recently approved in the Town of Vail. Chapter 12-10-12, Credit for Multiple Use Parking Facilities, also allows for a reduction to the parking when a single parking facility serves a variety of uses. The credit is based on a sliding scale, based on the total number of parking spaces provided. This additional reduction has been applied to other projects within the core areas of Vail in a similar fashion. In the case of Ever Vail, a 25% reduction is allowed (both under Core Area Parking Requirements and Non-Core Area Parking Requirements.) This equates to the following: Table 2: Comparison of Total Core Area and Non-Core Area Requirements with Reduction Core Area Parking Requirement with Non-Core Area Parking Requirement Percent Change Reduction with Reduction (Decrease from CA to Non-CA) 797.46 1,154.20 30.9% *Vail Resorts Mountain Operations has identified the need for 50 spaces so no reduction has been taken for this use under either the Core Area Parking Requirements or the Non-Core Area Parking Requirements. Neither the Core Area Parking Requirements, nor the 25% credit for multiple use is applicable to the parking obligations as outlined by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. As a result, no reductions or credits are requested for the 400 public skier spaces or the 318 replacement spaces. To provide an analysis of the overall parking requirements, including the parking obligations as outlined in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the following table outlines Core Area Parking Requirement, compared to Non-Core Area Parking Requirements, with the obligation of the 400 public skier spaces, along with the 318 replacement parking spaces: Table 3: Comparison of Total Parking Requirements and Obligations under Core Area and Non-Core Area Requirements Core Area Parking Non-Core Area Percent Change Requirement Parking Requirement Parking for Proposed Uses 798 1,155 31% Parking Based on Obligations of LRMP 718 718 0% Total Parking 1,516 1,873 19% *Conclusions The text amendment to include Ever Vail into the Core Area Parking Requirements results in approximately a 30% decrease in parking requirements for the uses proposed on-site. Based on the total parking requirements and obligations, there is an overall 19% decrease in the total amount of parking proposed on-site, based on Core Area Parking Requirements. Due to the characteristics of Ever Vail, it is more appropriate to be within the Core Area Parking Requirements.

To simplify the process, for each meeting Mauriello Planning Group will provide a brief memo summarizing the topic. More in-depth information can be found within the overall application. Circulation . This memorandum covers the circulation elements of the Ever Vail plan. Input from our civil engineers, the Town, our traffic expert, and our parking experts have all been incorporated in to the design of Ever Vail. Access and circulation is key to the success of any major development project. At Ever Vail the plan accommodates pedestrian, vehicular, transit, and bicycle circulation in a well thought out plan. The Ever Vail plan addresses many of the access and circulation issues that exist in the other core areas to ensure an efficient function.

Access Point E is also the main access point for in-town buses. Finally, Access Point F provides the main access into the parking structure on the east portion of the site. Beyond this access point on the Forest Road extension, the roadway turns into a private drive, accessing the ERWSD lower parking lot, the Ever Vail loading and delivery structure, and Mountain Operations space. Due to the nature of vehicles on this section of road, the road has been designed to accommodate large delivery trucks needed for both Ever Vail and to service ERWSD. According to the Traffic Impact Study, based on the proposed Ever Vail design, approximately 3,930 daily weekday trips will be generated by the project. Of these, 251 trips are expected to occur during the weekday morning peak hour, while 385 trips are expected to occur during the weekday afternoon peak hour. The Traffic Impact Study indicates that the Ever Vail project will be successfully incorporated into the future roadway network and all accesses and the Frontage Road/Forest Road roundabout will operate acceptably. Specific recommendations of the Traffic Report have been incorporated into the design of Ever Vail. *Parking Areas, Skier Drop-Off, and Access As presented previously, there are approximately 1,551 parking spaces currently proposed at Ever Vail. The vast majority of the spaces are located entirely underground. Access to the parking spaces occurs in three primary areas: two on the west side and one on the east side. This spacing allows for compliance with CDOT standards and minimal impacts to the level of service for the Frontage Road. Right and left turn lanes have been provided at the parking structure access points along the South Frontage Rd. While not necessary according to CDOT Access Standards, acceleration lanes have also been provided. Access A is devoted to public skier parking spaces (400 spaces), along with some commercial (31 spaces) and employee parking (38 parking Access Points spaces). (There are an additional 7 spaces that P LEGEND. ,ea„„ may be devoted to the — RETAIL FOOD rraµ club.) Access B is devoted voaraIoa„a.” t re„ to private residential uses ,E, B.Private '' ° (188 spaces).

There Es,.-s 0 EVER vim GROUND LEVEL I FLOOR PLANE 7 ...,..

Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 3 serve ECO Transit and the red/green line haul Town bus route. These four bays will be more than adequate to serve these uses; however, due to the flexibility of Market Street, any overflow of transit uses can be accommodated on Market Street, with no impact to the Frontage Road system. Of note, this transit center is located directly below the proposed office uses at Ever Vail, allowing local employees to take advantage of the regional transit system. This type of transit-oriented development is a key component of the Ever Vail sustainability plan. In addition to the transit center, the in-town bus route will be extended to Ever Vail. In order to keep this loop efficient, the Town has requested that the bus route be located on the eastern portion of the site, using Access Points E and D, along with the roundabout, as its access into the site. A bus stop located generally in front of the proposed market has been provided. Finally, on the western portion of the site, a location for hotel shuttle drop-off has been provided. *Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Similarly to Vail Village and Lionshead, the pedestrian and bicycle circulation within Ever Vail has been key to the design of this primarily pedestrian village. In addition to the circulation within Ever Vail, the connections to the remainder of the community have been key in the design. Ever Vail's location make it a key connection between Cascade Village and Lionshead Village, and the existing Gore Creek Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation 1 LEGEND: © PEDESTRIAN A BICYCLE PATH 1!liel ILION I „Ir: n L I "", ,411,* ' ' __,._, 11 .-� rte" + . • : ~_ .is 0 0 ____ __ _, _ _ . ,,, � Ao _ 0.. „S• 4GE I �, ___. __---- -., vAiL s I,;s EVER VAIL PEDESTRIAN I CIRCULATION DIAGRAM 8 - - c.Q..

Project No. N3-2008-344 Dear Kjell, Callison Architects engaged Carl Walker, Inc. to conduct a review of the conceptual garage plans for the Ever Vail project to be constructed in Vail, Colorado (plans dated November 11, 2009). We understand that two parking structures are proposed for this development. They consist of the following: • West Parking Structure Three levels below grade level with a parking capacity of approximately 670 spaces. This facility has a dedicated public entry/exit portal on the north side of the structure and a dedicated residential entry/exit portal on the east side of the structure from the South Frontage Rd. Internal express ramps and single helix park- on-ramps are used for vertical vehicular circulation. • East Parking Structure Three levels below grade level with a parking capacity of approximately 870 spaces. This structure has a dedicated entry/exit portal on the south side of the development from Forest Road for public and resident use. Two internal express ramps are used for vertical vehicular circulation. Each entry and exit lane will have Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS) equipment components to record and maintain daily transactions for transient, resident and monthly patrons. The PARCS equipment will be online with a facility management software system. The PARCS software will be located on a computer in the security/parking office where parking activity, revenue transactions, and facility totals by user groups can be monitored and managed by the parking operations group. Transient patrons will use an automated cashiering system known as Pay-on-Foot (POF). Upon entry, transient patrons will pull a ticket from a ticket dispenser machine at the entry lane to enter the parking structure. When leaving, the transient patron inserts the parking ticket into a centrally- located cashiering station (POF machine) on a primary pedestrian path before returning to their vehicle. The POF machine calculates the parking fee based on the length of stay. The POF machines can accept cash, credit cards, smart cards and 2801 Network Blvd.,Suite 101 Frisco,TX 75034 P.214.619.0700 F.214.619.0705 www.carlwalker.com Attachment F validations, and can also return change when appropriate. After the patron pays the parking fee, the POF machine would return the patron's parking ticket. The patron inserts their parking ticket into a lag-time exit verifier at the exit lane and the barrier gate opens if the fee has been paid. Due to the parking structure configuration and parking allocation, POF units are located at each public elevator/escalator core on each level. This revenue operation and number of POF units provide a high level of service (LOS). It also reduces traffic delays and congestion on the entry and exit ramps. The current parking design and ramping configuration is acceptable and adequate to accommodate the planned development. However, any future structural changes implemented by the design team could affect the adequacy of the current design. After a review of the proposed parking structures, we have prepared the following comments to improve the level of service (LOS) and functionality of each proposed structure: a) POF represents relatively new technology that may not be well understood by some patrons. Special signage would be required to inform patrons to take their parking tickets with them and to pay for parking in advance of vehicle retrieval. Exit verifiers with credit card capabilities should be located at each exit lane for those transient patrons that do not understand the operation or forget to utilize the POF machines. b) The West Parking Structure has the capacity for two entry lanes and two exit lanes for public use. The center lane is a reversible lane to accommodate peak traffic conditions. The East Parking Structure has two dedicated entry lanes and two dedicated exit lanes for public use. This lane configuration provides a high level of service (LOS) for anticipated visitor parking demand. c) Resident and monthly patrons should use an Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) transponder or tag to enter and exit each parking facility. AVI consists of a transponder or tag that is applied to the windshield or bumper of a vehicle, or is hung from the rearview mirror. The transponder sends a signal to a reader mounted near the lane that automatically opens the gate. It allows access without the driver having to stop or open their window. This mode of operation provides a high LOS at the entry/exit points and improves traffic flow on the inbound and outbound express ramps for each structure. d) One entry lane and one exit lane are "nested" in each parking structure for resident and monthly patrons. Resident and monthly patrons are partitioned from public use. This parking separation reduces traffic in the general public parking areas and improves security for resident and monthly patrons. 2 a ' e) Vertical express ramps incorporated in each structure should not exceed 12% slope with transitional ramp blends at the top and bottom of each ramp. This slope design criterion has been followed in both structures. f) PARCS equipment (gates, ticket dispensers, exit verifiers, etc.) should not be located on a slope of more than 2.5%. Verify the slopes at PARCS equipment lanes comply with this recommendation. g) Inside vehicle turning radii should not be less than 15'-0". Some tight turns may exist due to structural constraints. Where feasible, remove walls and/or other structural components that may conflict with this criterion. h) Van accessible parking requires a minimum headroom clearance height of 8'-2". Verify if this is headroom clearance is achievable on the express ramps, drive aisles and in the general parking areas. i) Walls and columns adjacent to the express ramps could slow traffic circulation. Every effort should be made to provide wide drive lanes where possible. j) Vertical express ramps for two-way traffic should not have drives less than 24'- 0"clear width for straight ramps and 30'-0" clear width for curved ramps. This width requirement would provide a reasonable LOS on the express ramps. k) Based on the length of the express ramps and the flexibility in the parking operations with the PARCS equipment referenced earlier, we believe the vehicular queues are adequate to accommodate the proposed peak traffic demand. I) A high level of lighting is recommended at entry/exit portals, vertical express ramps, elevator/escalators/stairs, drive aisles, intersections of ramps, and at the PARCS equipment areas. A lighting photometric study for each level should be conducted to ensure appropriate footcandles (FC) have been achieved in the design. AREA INTENSITY (FC) Driving Aisles/Ramps 10-15 Parking Areas 7-10 Elevator Lobby/ Landing Areas of Stairs 20 Vehicular Entry/Exits 50* * Daytime intensity should be maintained within 50' of garage footprint for transitional conditions. I 0.1" Please reference our redlined comments sent to you earlier via e-mail for consideration to improve the efficiency, design and functionality of each structure. -3- I 12E9 We trust we have responded to your request to review the current design, and that our recommendations are helpful in the design process for this development. Thank you for giving Carl Walker this opportunity to be of service. Please call if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Carl Walker, Inc. Av Gregory A.

How will coordination occur without violating any monopoly/collusion laws? • Is 400 additional parking spaces adequate? Are there opportunities for more? Should any surplus parking not associated with a land use be included in this count? • Who will have access to the loading and delivery facility? Town of Vail and special event promoters? Easements? • How will signage be done to provide owners, visitors/guest, skiers, shoppers, etc., get to the parking spaces designated for the uses? • ?at-6 A 5 S'f rwi L. 0. S sfan el arts'
