HomeMy WebLinkAboutSki Lift Parking Requirements From Other Communities Research� Village of Taos Ski Valley: The Forest Service controls the parlcing area as it relates to ski terrain development. If and
when new buildings are planned and contain occupancy, the Village requires onsite parking per the Planning Ordinance.
Telluride: The Telluride Land Use Code contains limited information regarding parking. There are parlcing requirements
for recreational facilities, but not more specifically for ski facilities.
Breckenridge: Breck doesn't have ski lifts listed in their Off Street Parking Standards. They do have a section called
"Commercial recreation indoor and outdoor" but this hasn't been applied to ski lifts in the past because most lifts are
constructed on Forest Service land outside of town limits. When the Town and Vail Resorts struck their Preliminary
Agreement in 2002, they made an agreement to maintain 2,500 parking spaces by the ski area (1,560 near the gondola
and 200 spaces at the base of Peak 8, 240 at Beaver Run and 500 on Airport Roac� . Separate parking agreements can
be struck through the public participation process of terrain expansion to ensure adequate expansion. In the past when
the ski resort has updated its master plan the town has required them to conduct a transportation study dealing with how
proposed operations will affect the Town. This is typically how the amount of parking relative to opera6ons has been dealt
with by the Town.
Steamboat Springs: The most recent lift is the Wildhorse Gondola which is a people mover from a master planned
development to the ski base area opened in February. The master planned development is directly adjacent to the ski
area's largest parking lot which will be used for the public as well as tenants of the development. The code doesn't have
anything directly addressing parking for ski lifts so they did not require any additional parking for the gondola.
Jackson Hole requires the following:
Parking requirements. Parking standards for Planned Unit Developments shall be set
on an individual, project-by-project basis. The standards set forth in Table 4240, Parking
Standards By Use, shall be a guide in determining appropriate standards. Parking demand is a
function of the following factors:
(a) project location,
(b) unit type,
(c) size/value of unit, and
(d) target market.
From Table 4240:
Ski Areas
1 for every 7 comfortable carrying capacity
(see Division 8300, Definitions), plus 1 per 2
employees, plus 1 per each 2 hotel rooms
In PRD, may be based upon mix of uses
in approved master plan.
The two resorts in the Park City limits (Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort; the Canyons
is in Summit County) have Mountain Master Plans. New lifts may replace older, slower, less-
capacity lifts or be installed in accordance with the plan without modifying the plan. They do go
through a Conditional Use process with review by our Planning Commission. Both resorts are
somewhat limited in the amount of parking available; Deer Valley further limits its ticket sales
based on restaurant capacity. At busy times, there is spill over from PCMR, particularly, into other
areas of town. On President's Day weekend, there may be additional parking at the schools
where the free bus has a stop. At this time, Park City does not require a parking study for new lift
construction.
The Town did not require additional parking studies prior the latest lifts being installed. We
have an agreement with the resort to provide a certain number of day skier parking based on a
study that calculated the required number of spaces at full build-out of the resort.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any further questions.
