Mike Coughlin recognized the Commission and staff for their hard work and their willingness to collaborate with the applicant to solve problems. He also noted that lhere are several different compeling interests involved wilh this project. He noted that the RFP referenced a .75 parking space per unit requirement, however, as proposed, the plan now meets the regulations of the Town code, which is nearly double the .75 requirement. He noted that other jurisdictions require 18 spaces for the learning center and his own observalions ol the existing learning center noled a maximum of 20 cars al one lime. He noted the integration of the bus stop into lhe site and stated that they have worked wilh several consultants to address the hazards, noise levels, and building code requirements. He made note of the pedestrian path along the length of the property along Frontage Road. He also expanded upon the snow management plan thal was submitted. He noted that they have been working directly with the third parties that will be effected by this project (Qwest, CDOT, ABC, Learning Tree, and Shaw Construction). Approved 03125102 Otis Odell presented an overview of the proposed project design and the revisions that have been made since the Commission's last review of the project. He noted that buildings A and B are now being localed to provide retainage on the site and to provide accessible dwelling units. Approximately 60% of the parking is now covered. Also, with the use of CDOT right-of-way landscape buffering will be provided. He stated that the buildings have been oriented to provide visual variety and solar access. The pedestrian path between G & H is a design space. He stated thal the road width is 24 feet and the north side of most buildings have extra parking, and the adjacent area will be a common pedestrian area. Trash will be stored and service from multiple enclosed building areas. He stated that the building layout provides significant landscaping opportunities. Brian Doyon questioned if the applicant is going to show their proposed landscaping on any of lheir plans. Otis Odell replied that it will be shown on a fulure landscape plan. Doug Cahill questioned what CDOT's requirements are for landscaping. Mike Coughlin stated that within 30 feel of pavement the plantings must be low in height. Otis Odell commented that the bus slop will be a great location for social interaction and that additional areas are provided on the north side of two buildings. He stated that residents will travel to the ski mountain or existing parks for some outdoor recreation. He presenled simulaled photos of the project from Rockledge Road, Vail Mountain, and l-70. He also presented an overview of the proposed architecture of the project which he feels fits the Vail characler. He noted thal they have carefully considered snow shedding. The buibing materials are predominantly stone, EIFS, and simulated wood. He also presenled options for lowering the height of buildings G & H along the south setback line. He noted that some of the buildings are accessed with exterior walkways. He noted thal exterior walkways are not an outdated building design. Galen Aasland asked if the recreation area in the rear is sloped, and Otis replied that lhere is some slope but it will be graded to accommodate rec uses. Galen recommended that additional recreation areas may be added in olher locations of the site. Dennis Coughlin noted that they believe they have addressed the various public boards to the best of their abilities. He noted the conlributions to this project from the Town of Vail, Eagle County, and the State of Colorado. He expressed concerns about lhe timing of this project. The noted that staff has been courteous and fair. He believes that this is a project thal everyone can be proud of, but recognizes that no plan is perfect and they can't address the desires of everyone. Ned Gwathmey, representing the Spraddle Creek homeowners, noted thal this project is "in your face" and could be stepped back to minimize their impacl. He stated that this project was Copper Mountain without the Village appearance. There is tremendous potential, but the scale is too large. He feels that the entrance to the site is not pleasant and that the village should be designed around pedestrian ways and open space, not a roadway. Ludwig Kurtz, spoke as a Chairman of the Beaver Creek DRB and not as the Vail Mayor. He noted that the affordable projects that he was involved wilh took risks with building materials, parking requiremenls, etc. He recommended that the Commission examine what was constructed at Beaver Creek as an example. Andy Blumetti, DRB member, voiced a concern about the density of the project. He doesn't see the open space and doesn't feel that lhere is a hierarchy of buildings. He voiced concerns about the bulk and mass of the buildings and that the Learning Center is at an unrelated scale. The orientation ol the buildings G & H do not relate to the other buildings on the site. He doesn't believe o Approved 03125102 that this project relates to other areas of town. Kim Retolo, Housing Authority, expressed her excitement about the project. She said that the major concerns from lhe Housing Authority public meeting were from the pre-school concerning access and drop-off, but she believes that these concerns have been met. As a member of the Housing Authority she voiced her support lor the project. Hans Woldrich noted that this is a tremendously important site in Vail. He doesn't believe that the project fits the character of Vail. He noted the difficuhy of designing a project such as this, however, this project looks like military barracks not the small village scale. Mo Mulrooney & Kristy, representing Learning Tree, thanked staff and Odell Arch. and Coughlin Company. She stated lhat the proposed childhood center is a beautiful building that is well sited. She noted that they need to have a decision about the future of their school and stated that ABC School and Learning Tree will be merging. Diane Golden asked if Mo is comlortable with the proposed parking. Mo Mulrooney replied that it is better than what they have now. Diane Golden asked if a better drop-off would be beneficial. Mo Mulrooney replied that it is a concern that they need to examine more closely. Brian Doyon asked how many employees currently work here and if they every intend to expand. Mo Mulrooney replied that they have 12 employees and don't for see a need to expand. Chuck Ogilby, Housing Authority and Council member, acknowledged that the Council has not created the Housing Distriet in such a manor as to create an easy way to build employee housing, but he recommended that the PEC vote in favor. Herman Stauffer, representing the business community, stated that years ago businesses could pick and choose employees but now businesses have no choice in employees. He said there are many things discouraging people from working in Vail including housing, but today the PEC has the opportunity to make hislory by providing employee housing in the Town of Vail and joining the Council and business community in the effort to build housing. Steve Lindstrom, Housing Authority and business owner, noted that the business community would like to see even more housing on this site. Sally Jackle, Housing Authority, urged the Commission to vote in favor of the project. She noted that the developer has been responsive to the Commission's recommendations. She also expressed that the heighl and density of this project is appropriate. She said it is not fair to make a political decision that this type of project is not appropriate on this site. Otis Odell clarilied the design ol the Learning Center parking. Brian Doyon asked if the landscaping plan was in error. Otis Odell replied that there may be an error on the plan. He also noted that the existing Learning Center ridge height is within 10 feet of the ridge height of the proposed buildings. Mike Coughlin noted that the proposal is very similar lo wanl they proposed in December with a few minor changes. He noted that they are trying to balance numerous competing inlerests. o o Approved 03125102 Doug Cahill noted that he is a housing advocate but doesn't want us to "drop the ball" by approving a project that we will need to fix in the near future. He feels that the parking requirements are met. He noted that additional rec areas are needed and less snow storage may be appropriate. He noted that the buildings should be designed to integrate into the site. He approves ol the learning center location, but has concerns about the drop-off areas. He recommended that the garages be used to provide additional housing. He recommended moving the bulk and mass to the rear of the site. The noted that the landscaping that can be provided in the CDOT ROW needs to be clarified. John Schofield asked about the lease of the Learning Tree center, the access to the rec area, and the solar access for the rec area. He also asked about storage for the residents, guesl parking, and storage of trailers. Mike Coughlin replied to John's questions. John Schofield noted that the Commission is not anti-housing, however, he does agree with staff's concerns about the unresolved issues. In addition, he noled thal additional landscaping is needed within the parking lot. He doesn't feel thal snowstorage in the CDOT ROW along Frontage Road is appropriate. He feels that the north/south buildings don't relate to the other buildings. He noted thal landscape buffering will be difficult. He stated that the parking for the Learning Center is adequate, however, the drop-off is not adequale and is dangerous. A dropoff without the need for parking needs to be provided. He wants to see further examination of minimizing noise from l-70. He also noted that snowshedding needs to be examined and the proposed berms need to be shown on the plans. Diane Golden noted that parking at the existing Learning Center is safe, but that Mo lelt the parking at the proposed building is better, She noted that the parking numbers could be lowered and landscaping could be added. Erickson Shirley noted thal a project like this is long overdue. He noted that the most significant point of staff's concerns is bulk and mass. He wanled the planners to explain the options that they have proposed. Allison Ochs noted some of the recommendations that staff has expressed to the applicant. Erickson Shirley asked the applicant how they respond to staff's concerns. Mike Coughlin responded. Chas Bernhardt asked if apartments can be built above the garages at the learning center. Mike Coughlin indicated that the Learning Center was designed to be separate lrom the housing. Brian Doyon thanked the applicants, the community, and staff for their hard work, He noted thal there is significant site disturbance on this site. He notes the need for housing, but he's unwilling to sellout our assets for financial concerns. He feels that the design needs to fit the site. He restated Ned Gwaythmey's comment discouraging garage doors along the entrance to the site. He recommended eliminating part of the drive in front of building A. He noted that the proposed bus turn-around is similar to Timber Ridge and won't work well. He noted that snow storage needs to be increased and wants to see landscape plans and berms on the plans. He said a reduction in parking lor the learning center may be appropriate if the area is converted to drop-off areas and there needs to be wider sidewalks al the Learning Center. He said berms need to be 4-6 feet above floor level and he also wanls to see writlen approval from CDOT for the landscaping. He also recommended that more garbage facilities need to be provided and recommended that 75 sq.ft. of storage per unit be provided. He agreed with the tandem parking for 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Approved 03125102 Chas Bernhardt noted that he is in lavor of employee housing on this site. He noted that the 40% slopes may be an appropriate area for construction. He noted that the PEC is trying to assimilate the concerns of all the interested parties. He noted concerns about sidewalks and snowshedding. He also asked what the rental rates are going to be for these units. Mike Coughlin replied that many of the units will be deed restricted lo a rate of 30% of the county median income levels. He also recommended that individuals may be willing to provide funds for this project. Galen Aasland noted that this project meets the mission and vision of the Town, even though not everything that he wants to see is included. He recommended approval with a stepping down of the roof for buildings G & H and a reduction of the parking at lhe Learning Center with a turn- around. He stated that the space between Building C & G is an attractive landscape area. Doug Cahill asked il any other bus stop layouts have been considered. Mike Coughlin responded. Chas Bernhardt staled concerns about rushing this project like Donovan Park without getting the proposal on their plans. Erickson Shirley noted that the PEC needs to be clear to the applicant about what they need for approval. Mike Coughlin noted thal they would like to have a vote on this proposal with conditions at this time. Brian Doyon and John Schofield noted that a complete application with all the revisions needs to be submitted and reviewed at the next meeting. George Ruther, agreed with Erickson that clear direction needs to be given to the applicant. However, any changes that are made to the plans affect other issues. Galen Aasland called for a straw pole if the Commission would approve this project. Erickson Shirley noted that he would vote in favor of the concept. Brian Doyon noled thal he would not vote in favor of the concept. Chas Bernhardt noted that he would be in favor, il safety of the parking and the roof height are addressed. Doug noted that he would be in favor, but the details and plans need to be submitted. John Schofield noted that he wanls to see a revised grading plan, drop-off at the daycare (nol less than 20 spaces), not less than 243 parking spaces, interior landscaping ol parking (15%), noise mitigation, snow storage of at least (30%), and recommendation to DRB to examine garage doors and the entrance, and examine building height. He's also concerned about views from Vail Mountain. Diane Golden noted that she would be in favor. Allison Ochs noted lhat significant criteria such as bulk and mass, or traffic safety are difficult to conditionally approve without reviewing any plans. Galen Aasland noted that he is in favor ol the proposal with revisions. O Approved Og/zslo2 Mike Coughlin proposed that the project be approved with conditions such as a maximum ridge height or sidewalk width, etc. Erickson Shirley made a motion to table this application, noting specific issues to be addressed by the applicant.

MAJOR SUBDIVISION A. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF A MAJOR SUBDIVISION Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code establishes lhe review process and criteria for a major subdivision proposed in the Town of Vail. Pursuant lo Chapter 13-3 (Major Subdivision) of the Town Code, the first step in the review process is for the applicant to meel with a Town Planner to discuss the preliminary plan. Staff has met with the applicant on several occasions to discuss the proposal and address submittal requiremenls. Staff feels the applicant has successlully complied with lhe initial step in the review process. The Town of Vail is required to notify the following agencies that a major subdivision is proposed and that preliminary plans are available lor review: Department of Public Works. Town Fire DeDartment. Town Police Department. Public Service Company of Colorado. Holy Cross Electric Association. U.S. West S. Cablevision company serving ihe area.h. National Forest Service.i. Eagle River Water and Sanitation Districl.j. Vail Recreation District.k. Eagle County Ambulance District.l. Other interesled agencies when applicable. All of the above agencies have been notified. The next step in the review process shall be a formal consideration of lhe preliminary plan by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. The applicant shall make a presentation to the Planning and Environmental Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting. The presentation and public a. b. c. A A f. hearing shall be in accordance with Section 12-3-6 of the Town Code. The applicant's appearance before the Planning and Environmental Commission today shall serve lo meet the public hearing and presentation requirement. The burden of proof that the application is in compliance with the intenl and purposes of the Zoning Code and other pertinent regulations shall lie upon the applicanl. In reviewing the preliminary plan, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to: 1. SubdivisionControl;2. Densilies proposed; 3. Regulations;4. Ordinances, resolutions and other applicable documents;5, Environmental Integrity;6. Compatibility with surrounding land uses; and7. Effects upon the aesthetics of the Town and surrounding land uses. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall have twenly-one days from the date of the review of the preliminary plan to approve, disapprove or approve with conditions or modifications, the major subdivision request. Within ten days of making a decision on the request, lhe staff shall forward the Planning and Environmental Commission's decision to the Vail Town Council. The Council may appeal the Planning and Environmental Commission's action. The appeal must be placed within seventeen days of Planning and Environmental Commission's action. lf the Council appeals the Planning and Environmental Commission's action, the Council shall hear substantially the same presentation by the applicant as was heard al the Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. The Council shall have thirty days 1o affirm, reverse, or affirm with modifications the Planning and Environmental Commission decision. The appeal hearing shall be held during a regularly scheduled council meeting. The final step in the review process of a major subdivision request, after Planning and Environmental Commission preliminary plan review, is the review of the finalplat. At any time within one year afier the Planning and Environmenlal Commission has taken action on the preliminary plan, a final plat shall be submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department. The staff shall schedule a final review of the final plat. The final review shall occur at a regularly scheduled Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. The review criteria for a linal plat are the same as lhose used in reviewing the preliminary plan as contained in Section 13-3-4 of the Subdivision Regulations. The Town of Vail has the ability to require certain improvements when approving a major subdivision. The following improvemenls shall be required by the applicant unless otherwise waived by the zoning administrator, Planning and Environmenlal Commission, or Council: 1. Paved slreels and parking lots; B. 2. Bicycle and pedestrian path linked with the town system and within the subdivision itself; 3. Traffic control signs, signals or devices; 4. Street lights; 5. Landscaping; 6. Water lines and fire hydrants; 7. Sanitary sewer lines; 8. Storm drainage improvements and storm sewers; 9. Bridges and culverts; 10. Electric lines; 11. Telephone lines; 12. Natural gas lines; 13.Other improvemenls not specifically menlioned above but found necessary by the Town Engineer due to the nature of the subdivision. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A MAJOR SUBDIVISION Section '13-3 of the Town of Vail Code provides the criteria by which a proposed major subdivision is to be reviewed, Section 13-3-4: Commission Review of Appl i cati o n ; C ritera stales : The burden ol proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable. Due consideration shall be given to the recommendations made by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under subsection 13-3-3C above. The Planning and Environmental Commission 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, environmental integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town. 1. Subdivision Control There are three lots being plalted as parl of this major subdivision request: Lot Zoninq Lot Size Buildable Area Frontaqe Lot 1 Housing (orooosed) 6.673 ac. 290.676 so. lt. 4.573 ac. 199,200 so. ft. 1 145.75 ft. Lot 2 General Use 1.096 ac. 47,742 so. tI. Not applicable Via 40 ft. easemenl Tract A Natural Area Preservation 17.226 ac. 750.365 so. ft. Not applicable 1545.02 ft. Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision: Lot 1 is proposed to be zoned to lhe Housing Zone Dislrict. According Section 1 2-61-1 0: Other Development Standards'. Prescribed By Planning and Environmental Commission: ln the H District, development standards in each of the following categoies shall be as proposed by the applicant, as prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission, and as adopted on the approved deve I opm e nt pl an : A. Lot area and site dimensions. B. Building height. C. Density control (including gross residentialfloor area). Therefore, the Planning and Environmental Gommission shall prescribe the minimum lot size and frontage requirements. Staff believes that the lot size of 290,675.9 sq. ft. and the frontage of 1145.75 ft. are appropriate in this subdivision. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 will remain zoned General Use. According to Section 12-9C-5: Development Standards: Prescribed By Planning And Environmental Commission: ln the General Use District, development standards in each of the following categoies shall be as prescrtbed by the Planning and Environmental Commission : 1. Lot area and site dimensions. 2. Setbacks. 3. Building height. 4. Density control. 5. Site coverage. 6. Landscaping and site development. 7. Parking and loading. Therefore, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall prescribe lhe minimum lot size and frontage requirements. Staff believes that the lot size of 47,741.8 sq. ft. is appropriate for this subdivision. The frontage proposed for Lot 2 is via the existing platted access easement, which is 40 ft. Generally, the minimum frontage requirement within the Town of Vail varies from 30 ft. (residential zone districts) to 100 ft. (higher intensity commercial zone districts). Stafl believes that given the current access and use of the site, the 40 ft. access easement provides acceptable access to the site. Therefore, statl believes that no frontage is acceptable for this subdivision. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision Tracl A will remain zoned Natural Area Preservation District. There are no minimum lot size or fronlage requiremenls in the Natural Area Preservation District. Staff believes thal the configuration of Tract A is appropriate for this subdivision. 3. Densities Proposed The density proposed for the enlire 25 acre site is 192 dwelling units. This is approximalely 7.68 dwelling units per acre. However, the development will be clustered on the 6.7 acre housing site. This will keep development out of the 40olo slopes as required by lhe Chapter 12-21 ot the Town Code. Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 1 is proposed to be zoned Housing Zone District, with a land use designation of High Density Residential. The density allowed in the Housing zone district is prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The applicant is currently proposing 192 dwelling units on Lot 1. This is approximately 42 dwelling units per buildable acre and 29.7 dwelling units per gross acre. For comparison, the density allowed in Lionshead Mixed Use 1 is 35 dwelling unils per acre. The land use designation of High Density Residential states thal density in this designation would exceed 15 units per buildable acre. Slaff believes that this density is appropriate for this subdivision. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lol 2 is zoned General Use, with a land designation of Public/Semi- Public. No dwelling units are proposed on Lot 2. The only allowable dwelling units in the General Use Zone District are Type lll employee housing unils. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision Tract A is zoned Natural Area Preservation District, with a land use designation of Open Space. No dwelling units are permitted in the Nalural Area Preservation District. Reoulations Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision Lol 1 is proposed to be zoned to the Housing Zone District. For a discussion of the rezoning, please refer to Section Vll of this memorandum. The Housing Zone District regulations have been attached in Appendix E for reference. The Housing Zone District requires an approved development plan in conjunction wilh developmenl on the site. The rezoning is contingent on the Planning and Environmental Commission's approval of the developmenl plan. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 will remain zoned General Use. The existing use of the property will continue. Any changes require an amendment to the approved development plan, subject to approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The General Use Zone District regulations have been attached in Appendix F for reference. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision Tract A will remain zoned Nalural Area Preservation District. The Natural Area Preservation Districl regulations have been attached in Appendix G for reference. 4. Ordinances. resolutions and other applicable documents In reviewing this proposal, stalf relied upon the Town Code and the Vail Land Use Plan. The issues relating to the Town Code have been addressed previously. The Vail Land Use Plan conlains goals which staff considers to be applicable to the major subdivision requesl. The applicable goals include: 1.0 GeneralGrowth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue 10 grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visilor and the permanenl resident. 1.2 The qualily of the environment including air, waler and other natural resources should be prolected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 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 nol 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. 1.12 Vail should accommodale mosl of lhe additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where hioh hazards do not exist. 10 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vailwith appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace' demands for a full range of housing types. The Vail Land Use Plan identifies this neighborhood as Medium Density Residential. According to the Land Use Plan: The medium density residential category includes housing which would typically be designed as aftached units with common walls. Densities in this category would range from 3 to 14 dweiling units per buildable acre. Additional types of uses in this category would include private recreation facilities, private parking facilities and institutional/public uses such as parks and open space, churches, and fire stations. Environmental Inteqritv According 1o the Town of Vail hazard maps, Middle Creek Subdivision is located within a Medium Severity Rockfall hazard and Moderate Hazard Debris Flow. A site-specific study has been compleled by R.J. lrish, dated August 16, 200'1, and is attached in Appendix H. The consulting engineering geologists acknowledges that the risk of debris flow from the Middle Creek Valley to be high during the lifetime of the project, with a volume described as "small to quite large." The report indicates that the entire site is located within a high hazard debris flow area. The report also suggests thal the risk could be minimized by mitigation measures. The report also acknowledges that the risk of rockfall is medium during the lifetime of the project. Mitigation recommended by the report includes dislodging exposed boulders by hand prior lo construction. lt further states that any boulders would likely be trapped in the channel of the creek. The hazard reports have been included for reference. Staif continues 1o have concerns regarding the hazards on the site. The study indicantes that the entire site is localed within a high debris flow area. Stafl believes that prior lo the final platting of the site, the mitigation of this debris flow should be further examined. Mitigalion measures will be reviewed with lhe final platting of the site. As required by Chapter 12-21 ot the Town Code, no development will be permitted on slopes greater than 40%. The lots have been configured to minimize the 40% slopes on Lot 1. An Environmental lmpact Report has been completed by Stewart Environmenlal Consultants, Inc., and has been attached in Appendix I for reference. The report stated that while the proposed development of Lot 1 will have an impact on plant and animal communities presently inhabiting the property, the loss of the 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to plant and animal communities. The report recommends that all trash dumpsters need to be made bear'proof and exlerior lighling will need to be minimized. The report additionally states thal the impact to Middle Creek could include runoff from paved parking areas. A drainage study has also been included. 11 6. A wetlands assessment is currently being performed and will be submitted prior to final platting of the site. The drainage report has been completed by Peak Civil Engineering, Inc., which ls attached in Appendix J for reference. The drainage study states lhat runoff from the proposed development will follow existing drainage patterns. A preliminary lraffic study has been attached in Appendix K for reference. Generally, the study states that the traffic generaled by the proposal will be less than most apartmenl complexes, due to the proximity to other forms of transportalion. When a design is finalized, a more in-depth study will be provided. All of the environmental studies will be updated to rellect the development plan as the development of Lot 1 is refined. All of the studies will be included in lhe final review of the plat. Compatibilitv with Surroundino Land Uses Adjacent uses lo the enlire Middle Creek Subdivision include the following: Solar Vail - a multiple-family housing project currenlly zoned High Density Multiple Family. Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tract currenlly zoned Natural Area Preservation District. Parcel B, Spraddle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacenilo Lot 1. l-70 Right-of-Way - land owned by CDOT but located within Town of Vail boundaries. As a road right-of-way, there is no zoning on lhe property. This property is adjacent to Lot 1. White River National Forest - land owned by the United States Foresl Service outside of the Town of Vail boundary. Staff believes that the subdivision is compatible with surrounding uses. Effects Upon the Aesthetics of the Town and Surroundinq Land Uses The existing Mountain Bell tower and structure will not change with this application. Approximately 17 acres will remain open space. Lot 1 will be developed within the parameters of the Housing Zone District. According to Seclion 12-61-11: Development Plan Required. Compatibility With lntent: To ensure the unified development, the protection of the natural environment, the compatibility with the surrounding area and to assure that development in the Housing District will meet the intent of the District, a development plan shall be required. As the development plan will be approved at a later dale by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board, staff believes thal 7. 12 o vt. there will be no negative effects upon the aesthetics of the Town and the surrounding land uses. LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT A. GENERALOVERVIEWOFTHE PLAN The Vail Land Use Plan was initialed in 1985 and adopted in 1986 by the Vail Town Council. The main purposes of the Land Use Plan are 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 future land use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulSled within the Land Use Plan, are meanl 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 1o 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, bul 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. To be effective, the Land Use Plan must be updated 1o reflect current thinking and changing markel conditions. The Vail Land Use Plan can be amended in three ways: 1) The Community Development Department can updale and revise the plan periodically. The Community Development Department then makes recommendations for the proposed changes to the Planning and Environmental Commission, where these changes would then be considered in a public hearing format. The Planning and Environmental Commission would then make a recommendation to the Town Council, where another public hearing would be held. The Council then adopts the changes by resolution. 2) The Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council can also initiate amendments to the Land Use Plan. Again, both boards hold public hearings and the changes are adopted by the Town Council by resolution. 3) The private sector can also initiate amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan. Applications may be made by a registered voter, a property owner, or a property owner's authorized representalive. The amendments are then heard by both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. The Town Council lhen adopts the changes by resolution. The applicant is proposing to change the land use designation from Open Space to High Density Residential. The Open Space designation is described as follows: 13 B. Open Space (OS): Passive recreation areas such as greenbelts, stream corridors and drainageways are the types of areas in this category. Hillsides which were classified as undevelopable due to high hazards and s/opes over 40% are also included within this area. These hillside areas would still be allowed types of development permitted by existing zoning, such as one unit per 35 acres, for areas in agricultural zoning. Also, permitted in this area would be institutional/public uses. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies the Mountain Bell Sile as "approximately hall of the propsrty is intended for affordable housing and the remainder of the site will remain open space." The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is intended to identify and recommend actions for the protection of sensitive land and open space, not as a guide for development of other propertieq. The High Density Residential designation is described as follows: The housing in this category would typically consist of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institutional / public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The Vail Land Use Plan describes the Mountain Bell site as Tract 35 and states: The Mountain Bell microwave facility and two day care centers are located on a 25 acre site owned by the Town of Vail which is north of I-70. A portion of this site under the microwave facility is owned by Mountain Bell. Part of the entire site in located in an area of medium environmental hazards and should continue to remain in its present use, with possible expansions of the day car centers. lt may also be an option for the cemetery, lurther discussed later. CRITERIA FOR CHANGING THE LAND USE PLAN Any amendments lo the Land Use Plan require a public process. Adjacent properties are notified, the Planning and Environmental Commission holds a public hearing and makes a recommendation to the Town Council on the proposal. The Town Gouncil adopts the changes by resolution. Any changes lo the Land Use Plan must address the following three criteria: Criterion 1: How conditions have changed since the plan was adopted The Vail Land Use Plan was adopted in 1986. Since then the Town of Vail has completed three other important studies which involve the Mountain Bell site. 1. Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study (1990) The Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study was completed in 1990. The primary purpose of the study is to provide guidance and direction by developing a series of policies and recommendations to address the 14 2. community's need for expanding the supply of affordable housing for its local residents, both year-round and seasonal. The Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study provided the following recommendations: a. Provision for accessory units in singlelamily, primary/secondary, and duplex zone districts. b. Create new definitions in the land use code for permanently deed restricted affordable housing and studio housing units. c. Consider the role of the Town of Vail in overseeing and demonstrating actions on affordable housing. Create a Town of Vail Housing Authority fo assisl in the coordination and administration of the affordable housing prdgram. Also, establish a demonstration housing project which is planned and coordinated by the Town of Vail, with the assistance and participation of the private sector. d. Amendment of standards and criteria for Special Development Districts to provide for affordable housing unit developments. e. Special development districts for commercial, mixed-use, or free market residential development to provide for affordable housing units.t. Waiver of development land processing fees related to the construction of deed restricted affordable housing units constructed within the Town of Vail. By Resolution No. 25, Series of 1990, the Town of Vail established the Town of Vail Housing Authority. The Housing Authority evaluated ditferent sites for housing potential. The Mountain Bell site was the Authority's recommendation as the housing project lo move forward with first. However, in 1993, the Town Council opted not to move fonnrard on this project due lo political concerns. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan (1994) The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan primary purpose is to identify and develop strategies for acquiring or protecting key remaining open lands in Vail thal would be valuable for recrealion, protecling sensitive environmenlal resources, extending or connecting lrails, providing adequate neighborhood open space, and creating a small amounl of contingency land for unforeseen needs (e.9. employee housing, public facilities). The comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies the Mountain Bellsite and states: Approximately half of this propefty (7.71 acres) is intended for affordable housing and the remainder of the site will remain in open space The Housing Needs Assessment (1999) The Housing Needs Assessment was completed in 1999, sponsored by Eagle County, Town of Eagle, Town of Vail, and Vail Resorts, Inc. The purpose of the assessment is 1o better understand currenl housing 3. 16 problems and to provide information that can be used to address identified needs. The Housing Needs Assessment identifies the need for additional housing in Eagle County. Specifically, it slates: Develop affordable housing throughout the county except for seasonal workers, whose housing should be concentrated in Vail. Staff believes that lhese studies, all completed since the adoption of the Vail Land Use Plan, establish a need for additional housing opportunities in the Town of Vail. The Mountain Bell site, specifically examined by the 1990 Town of Vail Housing Authority and the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan, has been identified as a suitable site for housing. Staff believes that the conditions have changed since lhe adoplion of the Vail Land Use Plan. Criterion 2: How the plan is in error The Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation and Geologic Hazard Studies are presented in Appendix H of this memorandum. As the studies indicate, the site is developable with mitigation of the existing hazards on the site. The Vail Land Use Plan indicates that minimum development should occur on the site, due to the hazards. However, staff believes thal the Vail Land Use Plan is in error regarding the development potential of the site. The preliminary studies indicate that the site is developable for housing with mitigation. The hazards on the site and possible means of mitigation remain a concern of the stafl. Criterion 3: How the addition, deletion or change to the plan is in concert with the plan in general Statf has identified the following objectives and goals, which staff believes are relevant to this proposal from the Vail Land Use Plan. 1.0 GeneralGrowth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, mainlaining a balance between residential, commercial and recrealional uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and olher natural resources should be prolected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensily uses in areas that are not highly visible from 16 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. 1.10 Development ol Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (olher 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 nol be sold to a privale entity,'long term leased to a private entity or converted to a private use without a public hearing process. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growlh in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private etforts, assisted by limiled incenlives, provided by the Town of Vail wilh appropriate restrictions. 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. Slatf believes that the proposed Land Use Plan amendment is in concerl with the plan in general. VII. REZONING REQUEST A. ZONING REGULATIONS OVERVIEW The Town ol Vail Zoning Regulations are intended to: Promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserue and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high qualitY. In contrasl to the Land Use Plan, which serves as a guide in land use decision making, the zoning and subdivision regulalions are regulatory lools used to control developrnent for the benefit of the public health, safety and welfare. The 17 o B. zoning regulations are specific with regards to development on property, including density, setbacks, height, etc. Where conflicts exist between the Land Use Plan and the zoning for a site, existing zoning controls development. However, in cases where a change in zoning is considered for a site, the land use designation and land use objectives as identified in the Land Use Plan are important considerations in the decision making process. REZONING CRITERIA The Town of Vail has established the following criteria in the review of a rezoning request: 1) ts the existing zoning suitable with the existing land use on the site and adjacent land uses? The existing zoning on the entire Mounlain Bell site consisls of Nalural Area Preservation Dislricl and General Use. The General Use designation includes the portion of the sile with the Mountain Bell facility and the two day care facilities. The rest of the site is designated Natural Area Preservation District. According lo Section 12-9C-1 of the Town Code, the purpose of the General Use zone district is as follows: The General Use District is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 of this Title and to provide for the public welfare. The General Use District is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and ceftain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the District are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permifted types of uses. According to Section 12-8C-1 of the Town Code, the purpose of the Natural Area Preservalion zone district is: The Natural Area Preseruation District is designed to provide areas which, because of their environmentally sensitive nature or natural beauty, shall be protected from encroachment by any building or other improvement, other than those listed in Section 12-8C-2 of this Article. The Natural Area Preservation District is intended to ensure that designated lands remain in their natural state, including reclaimed areas, by protecting such areas trom development and preseruing open space. The Natural Area Preseruation District includes lands having valuable wildlife 18 2) habitat, exceptional aesthetic or flood control value, wetlands, riparian areas and areas with significant environmental constraints. Protecting sensitive natural areas is important for maintaining water quality and aquatic habitat, preserving wildlife habitat, flood control, protecting view corridors, minimizing the risk from hazard areas, and protecting the natural character of Vail which is so vital to the Town's tourist economy. The intent shall not preclude improvement of the natural environment by the removal of noxious.weeds, deadfall where necessary to protect public safety or similar compatible improvements. The existing zoning is suilable with the existing land use of the site. However, the currenl proposal for the site is 1o establish employee housing on Lot 1 of Middle Creek Subdivision. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision will remain General Use. Tract A will remain zoned Natural Area Preservalion District. This rezoning request is to rezone Lot 1 to the Housing Zone District. Staff believes that this zoning designation is more appropriate given the proposed development of the site, The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies this site for employee housing. Adjacent uses to the entire Middle Creek Subdivision include the following: Solar Vail - a multipleJamily housing project currently zoned High Density Multiple Family. Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tracl currently zoned Nalural Area Preservation District. Parcel B, Spraddle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacent lo Lot 1. l-70 Right-of-Way - land owned by CDOT but located within Town of Vail boundaries. As a road right-olway, there is no zoning on the property. This property is adjacent to Lol 1. White River National Forest - land owned by the United States Forest Service outside of the Town of Vail boundary. Within Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 1 is adjacent to Lot 2, and Tract A. Is the amendment presenting a convenient workable relationship with land uses consisfent with municipal objectives? The Town has continually stated that the provision of employee housing is an importanl objective and a high priorily for the community. Staff believes that lhe amendmenl presents a convenient workable relationship with land uses consistent with stated municipal objectives. The purpose of the Housing Zone District is: The Housing District is intended to provide adequate sites for employee housing which, because of the nature and 19 characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other residential zoning districts. lt is necessary in this district to provide development standards specifically prescribed for each development proposal or project to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 of this Title and to provide for the public welfare. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses, which are intended to be incidental and secondary to the residential uses of the District. The Housing District is intended to ensure that employee housing permitted in the District is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses. The Housing Zone District is similar to a special development district in its flexibility in the development standards of the zone district. The Housing Zone District provides the following: Lot Size: Densily: GRFA: Setbacks: Parking: Site Coverage: 557o or as approved by the PEC Landscape Area: 30% as approved by the PEC as approved by the PEC as approved by the PEC 20 ft. or as approved by the PEC per Ch. '12-10 or as approved by the PEC 3) As part of the rezoning of Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision, to the Housing Zone District, the Planning and Environmental Commission would be adopting a development plan for the site. This will occur at future Planning and Environmental Commission meetings. The rezoning does not take effect until the final plat for Middle Creek Subdivision is approved and filed with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office. Does the rezoning provide for the growth ol an orderly viable community? In accordance with the provisions of the Town of Vail Zoning and Subdivision Regulations and Vail's Comprehensive Plan elements, staff believes this rezoning provides for the growth of an orderly viable community. The Housing Zone District sets forlh developmenl standards and uses which the Town has found to be in the best interest of the Town's health, safety, and welfare. Statf believes that the designation of the Housing Zone District on this site will suit the proposed use and development of the sile. The Housing Zone District regulalions have been attached for reference. The Housing Zone District allows deed reslricted employee housing as a permitted use. In addition, as conditional uses, the Housing Zone District allows for Type Vl employee housing unils, dwelling units (not EHUs) not to exceed 30% of the total GRFA constructed on the sile, and accessory commercial uses, Staff believes that the clear purpose and intent of the Housing Zone District, along with 20 the allowable uses within that zone district, will provide for the growth of an orderly viable community. 4) ls the change consislent with the Land Use PIan? The proposed land use designation of the property is High Density Residential, which, according lo the Vail Land Use Plan, is described as: The housing in this category woutd typicatty consist of multi-ftoored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities and private parking facilities and institutional / public uses such as churches, fire stations, and parks and open space facilities. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies as stated in the Vail Land Use Plan. Specific Land Use Plan goals that are relevant to this proposal include: 1.0 GeneralGrowth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses lo serve both the visitor and the permanenl resident. 1.2 The quality ol the environment including air, waler and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1,3 The qualily of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evalualed on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas thal are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carelully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 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. 1.1'1 Town owned lands shall not be sold lo a privale entity, long term leased to a private entity or converted lo a private use without a public hearing process. 1.12 Vail should accommodale most of the addilional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 21 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should conlinue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limiled incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions.. 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. Staff believes the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan will be furthered by the rezoning to the HousingZone District. The Vail Land Use Plan states that the provision of employee housing is an importanl objective of the Town. In addition to the Vail Land Use Plan, other Town documents support this objective. In 1999, the Town of Vail sponsored, along with Eagle County, Town of Eagle, and Vail Resorts, lnc., a housing needs assessment. The Housing Needs Assessment slates: Develop more rental housing. The demand for units to house new employees and employees who now commute but want to live in Eagle County is sufficiently strong to support the additional development of apartments. Until the vacancy rates reaches a level more in line with other communities, efforts to develop apaftments should not be curtailed. Staff believes that lhe rezoning of Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision to the Housing Zone District is consistent with the Land Use Plan and the Housing Needs Assessment. 22 Approved 10/08/01 ING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COM PUBLIC MEETING RESULTS/MINUTES Monday, September 24, 2001 PROJECT ORIENTATION / - Gommunity Development Dept.

An appeal of an administrative delerminaiion regarding the procedural requirements lor an application for subdivision of "the Fallridge Parcel," a Part of Lot 1, Sunburst Filing No. 3 / a portion of land adjacent to the Vail GoJf Course Townhomes in the 1600 block of Golf Terrace. A graphic map description is attached for reference. Specifically, the appeal involves a staff determination that the subdivision of land wilhin a recreational easement requires a Major Special Development District Amendment to the Fallridge Special Development District. Appellant: Fallridge Community Association, represented by Berenbaum, Weinshienk and Eason, P.C.Planner: Brent Wilson Brent Wilson presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Lany Eskwith and Mike Miller (representing the Fallridge Association), lestified lhal the land which they wished to subdivide was not part of the dedicated recreation area from the original Special Development District #8. John Schofield asked where the legal descriptions came from. o PLANN o MISSION o O APProved 10/08/01 Brent Wilson indicated lhat the legal descriptions came from the Fall Ridge Condo Associalion declarations and nol from any easement instrument recorded in 1977. Larry Eskwith indicated that the SDD did not include records of rhe location ot the recreation area. John Schofield asked if legal descriptions for the properties were legally recorded. Mike Miller indicated that they can provide that information. Mike Helmer, surveyor with Johnson & Kunkel, testified as to the recorded location ol the recreation area described in the Fallridge Condominium Declarations. He indicated lhat the property proposed to be subdivided was not part of the recorded recreation area described in the declarations. Brian Doyon asked if there was a title report for the proposed subdivided property. Larry Eskwith indicated that there was one available. Brent Wilson indicated that there are two separate and distinct issues: where the property legally described with the condo declarations is located and where the property encumbered for recreation under the SDD is located. Brent Wilson indicated that the recorded easement trom 1977 has not been found. Larry stated that a separate easement was never recorded with the original SDD, however, the declaration indirectly created the recrealion easement area. John Schofield indicated that the original SDD did not require the recreation area to be contiguous to the SDD, which leaves doubt as to the location of the recreation area, bul also indicates the . property could have been removed some distance from the Fallridge building. Dr. Hawkins asked if the purpose of this was to allow for future development ot the property. Brent Wilson indicated that future development of the property is a possibility, however, today's discussion regarding the appeal deals only with procedural issues. Dick Cleveland asked if something different was filed in 1977, than 1978. He indicated that further documentation is needed before he can make a decision. Brian Doyon indicated that there is not enough information for him to make a decision. Chas Bernhardt agreed. Doug Cahillagreed. John Schofield stated that the legal description for the land contiguous to the building, needed lo be confirmed. He said a legal description of both parcels is needed and record of ownership for both parcels of land, al the time of SDD #8, needs to be verified. Diane Golden asked why staff made their decision. Brent Wilson indicated that records trom 1977 are nol complete and the proposed area lo be subdivided did have a recreation easement in place on the property. The SDD Ordinance required recrealion areas and staff believes that the property in question was part of that requirement. Brent stated the site plan presented also indicated both areas were encumbered with a recrealion easemenl. Galen Aasland agrees with the other Commissioners. He is comfortable thal the area around the O Approved 10/08/01 building does meet the "approximately 2 acres" requiremenl, however, there is still not enough information for the Commission to vole on this item. Galen Aasland asked that if the appropriate information can be found, would this item need to come back to the PEC. Brent Wilson indicated that if the appropriate information is not available, lhat this item may have to return to the PEC. Brent agreed to conduct the title research at the Clerk and Recorder's Office to relrieve all relevant items. Pursuanl to the PEC's authority in the Vail Town Code, the PEC decided to continue this item until additional information is received. John Schofield made a motion to table this item until October 8. 2001. Brian Doyon seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. 2. A request for a conditional use permit and a request lor Planning and Environmental Commission review of grading and landscape modifications wilhin the 100-year floodplain, to allow for the modification of an existing raw water intake and pump station facility, located at 5186 Black Gore Drive / Lot 8, Healher of Vail Subdivision. Applicant: Eagle River Water and Sanitation DislriclPlanner: Brent Wilson Brent Wlson presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Galen Aasland asked if the PEC is being asked to make a single decision, or two separate decisions. Brent Wilson asked the PEC to make one motion for the conditional use permil, since the proposed findings include conformance with floodplain grading requiremenls. Dick Cleveland asked if the landscaping required DRB review. Brent Wilson indicated that it did. Lynne Schorr, (ERWSD), submitted a letter lrom their registered Professional Engineer indicating thal there will be no change to the existing flood plain. Tom Kassmel indicated that his review indicated that there is no grading in the 100-year flood plain and if there is no grading in the 1O0-year floodplain, then changes to the plans and a letter of verification are required. Lynne Schorr indicated that excavation would occur in the floodplain, however, no changes to the floodplain will occur. Lynne indicated that ERWS has an existing 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. George Ruther stated thal in the past the PEC has required existing topographic surveys and as- built topographic surveys. Boyd (ERWSD) indicated that lhere will be some minor changes to the creek bank. Doug Cahill stated that this is an improved application. John Scholield asked if notification was given to neighbors and if the landowner, (Heather Vail), has O Approved 10/0€t/01 signed the application. Brent Wilson indicated that notification was given, however, the applicant has not signed the application. Statf's recommendation included a condition of approval be that the landowner sign a letter of approval prior to DRB review. Diane Golden had no comment. Dick Cleveland had no commenl. Brian Doyon asked if this was a complete application. Brent Wilson asked if Lynne can secure a signature from Heather Vail within the next two weeks. Lynne Schorr asked if the PEC would require the signature as a condition. Chas Bernhardt is comfortable with the proposal and allowing staff to review the project after the Healher Vail signalure is submitted. Galen Aasland agreed with the other Commissioners and commented that no further paving should occur adjacent to the pump station. Dick Cleveland expressed that by requiring a signature of the property owner may in effect bar the installation of a public utility within their easement. John Scholield made a motion for approval, per the staff memo and that a signature of the property owner be submitted and a topographic surveys of exisling and constructed conditions be submitted. Brian Doyon seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. 3. A request lor a variance from Section 12-1 1-3(C), Vail Town Code, to allow for the conlinuance of nonconforming buibing materials, and setting forth details in regard thereto, located at 5047 Ute Lane, Unit Bilot 33, Vail Meadows Filing 1. Applicant: Robert Balas, represented by Rob KrumholzPlanner: BillGibson Bill Gibson made a staff presentation per the staff memorandum. Rob Krumholz indicated that he believed that the requirement causing upgrading the entire duplex slructure should not apply. Bill Gibson described the intent of the regulation. Dick Cleveland stated that he interpreted thal the regulation applied to this request. He stated that with duplex slructures, this situation could be expected. He did not believe that duplex structures were intended to look differenl. Brian Doyon agreed with the comments ol Commissioner Cleveland. He believed that the regulations applied, as stated in the Zoning Regulations. He felt the request, if approved, would be a granl ol special privilege. Chas Bernhardt agreed with his fellow Commissioners. Doug Cahill felt 1o approve the request would be a grant ol special privilege. John Schofield did not believe that the variance could be approved and presented several Approved 10/08/01 suggested options 10 Diane Golden had no further comment. Galen Aasland had two issues. First, the elevations were incomplete and needed to be finalized. Once finalized, he felt that the siding on the adjacent unit would need to be replaced. Second, he believed that this would be a grant of special privilege. Brian Doyon moved to deny the request. Dick Cleveland seconded. The motion passed 7-0, per the staff memorandum. 4. A request for a preliminary plan review for a major subdivision, a request to amend the Vail Land Use Plan to change the designation from "Open Space" to "High Density Residential", and a request lor a rezoning from "Natural Area Preservation District" to "Housing Zone District" to allow for the development of employee housing at the site known as Mountain Bell, located on an unplatted piece of property at 160 North Frontage Road. A complete metes and bounds legal description is available at the Department of Community Development. Applicant: Town of Vail Housing Authority, represented by Odell ArchitectsPlanner: AllisonOchs/BrentWilson Brent Wilson presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Russ Forest indicated that the PEC will review the specifics of the development plan at a luture date. Otis O'Dell, O'Dell Architects, representing the Vail Housing Authority, indicated that this applicalion was submitted prior to the PEC's introduction to this project. He slated that they are working to incorporate the PEC's initial comments into the final development plan. He presented several conceplual ideas for changes to the final development plan that fit within the physical limits of the proposed subdivision. Russ Forest noted that there are physical constraints on the site. Otis O'Dell presented lhe details of the physical limitations for developmenl on this site. Galen Aasland asked about the cottonwoods identified in the environmental report. Otis O'Dell indicated thal they have an environmental specialist examining wetlands issues on this site. Mark Bristow stated that Otis O'Dell has represented the views of the Housing Authority. Kay Ferry stated that employee housing has a significant financial impact on Vail. She indicated that the business communily is 100% behind this project. The business community would like to see the highest densily possible on this site and request that the name be changed lo not include the word "village." Nina Timm reminded the PEC that this item is for preliminary approval and will be before the PEC agarn. Doug Cahill stated the importance of employee hpusing. He asked if there are oplions to conslruct housing on top of a parking structure. Development on the steep slopes should be considered. He wants to keep an open mind and to consider all possibilities for development on this site. He likes thal the developmenl is clustered and that the daycare is separated from the housing. He stated o consider. that the hazards on the site ld be mitigated. He stated that the Approved 10/08/01 is appropriate. John Schofield stated that he is generally supportive of the project as a whole. He still has concerns aboul the final development plan. He doesn't want this project to lurnoul like other Town projects where details are being revised at the end of the review process instead of at the beginning. He stated that the specifics of the site layout should be revisited - a north/south orientation is preferred. The surface parking will be very visible to guests from Vail Mountain and subsurface should be considered. He would like to see comparison charts to further describe the proposed densily on the site. The setbacks and bus slop layoul need to be further examined. The plat should identify the legal descriptions of the property. Diane Golden stated her support for the project as a whole, but details of the final development plan need to be finalized before the PEC moves forward. Dick Cleveland asked about the reduction of one building in terms of density and heighUsize of the buildings. Otis O'Dell indicated that the density remains the same, but the buildings become larger. Dick Cleveland stated concerns aboul density. Employee housing is important, but he is concerned that too much is being pul into one location. He's concerned about the views from Vail Mountain. He's also concerned about giving preliminary approval when the lots are not fully defined. He's reluclant to change the zoning from medium to high density, but understands the need and is supportive. He leels that lhe lransportation studies are appropriate, however, they may not reflect the realities of traffic flow and how people will walk to and from this site. Brian Doyon stated that he is in favor of the project as a whole. He asked if the applicant has compleled a specific site inventory and analysis. He wants to know why the site is being platted the way il is being proposed. Otis O'Dell and Jim Ellerbrook, Peak Land Development, explained the site conditions and the reasoning for the proposed subdivision layoul. Brian Doyon is concerned about the location of the northern property line. Otis O'Dell stated that they wanted to the have enough property within this lot to provide adequate area for hazard mitigation. Brian Doyon stated his concern about a lack of open space and a large amount of site coverage. He is also concerned about providing adequate parking and storage. He is also concerned about site disturbance and being sensitive to the site. Chas Bernhardt indicated that he doesn't have any problems with changing the zoning and land use designation. However, he does feel that the site can be developed in a more efficienl and aesthetically pleasing design. He recommended the use of struclured parking. Galen Aasland stated his support for the project and agrees with Kay Ferry that a high density is required. He acknowledged the differing opinions of the Commissioners and the public. He feels that the area of the site being used is appropriate. He is in favor of the change in land use designation and rezoning, however, he is not supportive of approving the subdivision at this time. He stated his support lor some elements of the site plan, but he wants to see further revisions and development to the site plan. He recommended the use of a central green space and a north/south orientation to the site. He slated his concern about the location and access lo the bus stoos. He also feels thal there is a lot more potential for development on this sile. Mike Coughlin stated that they hear the Commission's concerns and will be analyzing those concerns and incorporating as many ilems as they can. They are currently examining other layout ootions. o snou o zoning Approved 10/08/01 Nina Timm stated that the this project. Council established the boundaries for lhis project with the RFP lor Brian Doyon stated that the steep slopes are not allowed to be developed and these areas should not be used for open space only because il is inconvenient for the applicant to provide it elsewhere. George Ruther and Russ Foresl expanded on this issue. Doug Cahill asked if there are options to develop with the Mt. Bell site. Nina Timm and Otis O'Dell explained their attempts to work with Qwest. John Schofield asked if Qwest has signed the application and if the property has a legal description. Brent Wilson and Otis O'Dell stated lhat Qwest has submitted their approval and a legal description have been established. Brent Wilson clarified the review process and procedures for this project. He explained that all ol the applications are tied to the PEC's approval of the development plan and that if the PEC decides to deny the development plan at a later dale, the rezoning, land use plan amendmenl and final plat do not go through. He staled lhe primary objective with the preliminary plat is to identify a suitable building area and the adequacy of the proposed frontage and access to infrastructure. He said since the hazard locations and steep slopes will not change, he recommended the PEC allow the applicant to move forward. Dick Cleveland stated that many of his questions have been answered and is prepaied to move forward with a decision on the entire application. Nina Timm and Otis O'Dell stated that they are prepared to move fonrvard with the process and will revise the developmenl plan per the PEC's commenls. Doug Cahill stated that he is comfortable with the delineation of the lot lines. John Schofield asked how this preliminary plan could be modified in the fulure. Brent Wilson indicated there is some flexibility, since the final plat will nol be finalized or recorded until the development plan is approved by the PEC. Galen Aasland stated that he disagrees with portions of the Environmental lmpact Report. Dick Cleveland stated that the Environmental lmpact Report reads like a sales pitch for the project. Mike Coughlin and Otis O'Dell asked if there could be a condition of approval for a supplement to rhe ElR. Brent Wilson stated that specilic development plan issues should be addressed later with the development plan application, rather than al this stage with the preliminary plat. Brent said the PEC could reject the portion of the EIR that references a specific development plan if the PEC feels the remainder of the EIR is sufficient to evaluate the impacts of the request. Otis O'Dell noted the portions of the EIR that do not refer to the specific building layouts. Galen Aasland asked when the applicant can return with revisions to the plans. The applicant indicated that they plan to submit revisions prior to the October 29,2001 submittal deadline. Mike Coughlin stated that they want to examine the feasibility of the project options prior to o Town o Approved 10/08/01 submitting development Dick Cleveland slated that he is ready to move fonrard. Brian Doyon stated that a revised EIR that will probably be biased and will not be necessary. Chas Bernhardl agreed. Doug Cahill asked if it was appropriate to proceed without the ElR. Brent Wilson indicated that if the PEC feels the rest of the geologic hazard, floodplain and environmental information they have received is adequate lo assess the impacts, the PEC can move forward while rejecting the portion referencing the development plan. John Schofield is comfortable with proceeding, but has concerns. Diane Golden agreed with John Schofield. Chas Bernhardt asked if structured parking would require a rezoning. Brent Wilson stated that the Housing Zone District allows for public buildings and grounds similar 1o a municipal parking struclure. Maior Subdivision Doug Cahill made a motion for approval, in accordance with the slatf memorandum. Dick Cleveland seconded the motion. Galen Aasland recommends a condition that the updated EIR and revised site development details from Oclober 29,2001be presented to the PEC at its second meeting in November. Doug Cahill amended the motion. Dick Cleveland seconded the amended motion. The motion passed by a vote of 5-2 (Schofield and Doyon opposed). Land Use Plan John Schofield made a motion for approval, in accordance with the slaff memorandum. Doug Cahill seconded the motion. The motion was approved by a vote of 7-0. Rezonino John Schofield made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memorandum, with a modification that Gondition #1 shall read "rezoning" instead of "land use plan amendment."

Applicant: Rob LevinePlanner: George Ruther MOTION: Diane Golden SECOND: Doug Cahill VOTE:6-0 TABLED TO APRIL 8,2002 4. An appeal of a staff determination of the "first floor' or istreet level" of the Vail 21 BuiHing, located at 511 East Lionshead Circle, Part of Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 1st Filing. Appellant: Vail Specialty Sports, Inc. Planner: George Ruther George Ruther presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Tom Gart, one of the owners of Vail Special$ Sports, presented the plans of the space in question and discussed their plans for expansion. Joe Walker clarified that the contractor, Vaughn Miller, was responsible for pulling the appropriate permits. Joe Walker stated that he should have verified that the permits were pulled. Tom Gart stated that they would like the aocessory use to continue for one year, until they have further expanded the building. Erickson Shirley asked what the office was accessory to. Tom Gart stated that the office is their support network for all of the retail uses throughout the Vail Valley. Erickson Shirley asked where the office will be relocated to when the remodel occurs. Tom Gart stated that it would most likely be relocated to the basement space. Doug Cahill stated that he believed that this space was first floor and that it is unfortunate that they did not apply for permits, so that this could have been avoided. Doug asked if they had pursued the staff recommendations. o the short o they were looking for cheap alternatives forTom Gad stated that Doug Cahill stated that they need to resolve the situation. John Schofield asked George Ruther for clarifications of the definitions of first floor or ground level. George Ruther stated the definitions of first floor, according to the Zoning Code and the UBC. John Schofield stated that he believed that no evidence has been presented which would lead him ts believe that this space is anything but first or ground floor. Diane Golden stated that she believed this space to be first floor. Chas Bernhart stated that he believed this space to be first floor space. He stated that having office space is far more beneficial than brown paper covering an empty space. He stated that he would be willing to approve this for a length of time. Erickson Shirley stated that he believed that the applicant is very sophisticated. He stated that it is unfortunate that no permit was applied for and he does not think that they should benefit from the lack of following procedure. Galen Aasland asked, if they were to approve this today, what would stop someone else from making a similar application. He stated that they do have brown paper up on these windows and that it is not appealing to ihe visitor. Tom Gart asked for time to remedy the situation. George Ruther clarified condition number one in the staff memorandum, including a time frame for compliance. John Schofield made a motion to uphold the staff decision, in accordance with the following: Findings: 1. That based upon the Commission's review and interpretation of the prescribed regulations outlined in Title 12, (Zoning Regulations) of the Vail Town Code, the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of Title 12 (Zoning Regulations) have p! been met with the applicant's proposal. Specifically, pursuant to the definition provided in Section 12-7H-3(A) of the Vail Town Code, the old Uptown Grille space within the Vail 21 Building is determined to be the 'first floor' or'street level' of the building. The Commission's determination is based upon evidence provided during the public hearing and site visit, as well as the configuration of the building, topography of the developed site, layout of the exterior walkways, and the presence of a "basement" or "garden level" of the building directly beneath the space in question. 2. In upholding the administrative determination of the Community Development Department, the Commission finds that pursuant to Section 12-7H-6, Accessory Uses, of the Vail Town Code, the existing use of the space is not an accessory use to the permitted retail stores and establishment allowed on the first floor or street level of the building and is @! necessary for the operation thereof. This finding is based upon the existing of an administrative office in the existing and adjacent retail space and on the fact that other adminishative functions are occurring in the space that are not for the support of the retail use. Condition: 1. That the appellant, Vail Specialty Sports Venture, LLC, submits a demolition plan for the illegally converted interior space to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for review and approval of a required demolition permit and that the existing use of the space discontinue.

Applicant: Town of VailPlanner: George Ruther George Ruther presented an overview of the staff memorandum. Galen Aasland asked for public comment. Rick Scalpello, representing Vail Today, passed out brochures to the members of the Planning and Environmental Commission. Rick spoke in support of the application. Eric Knox, representing Colorado Logos, Inc. stated that a lot of fatalities used to occur on the highways and that these signs arose to provide for safety. Erickson Shirley asked for clarificalion of distances for signs to be on the sign. Eric Knox clarifled the regulations as generally accepted in other locations. Galen Aasland asked for clarification as to how these regulations can be done so as to be fair and consistent to all businesses in the Town. Eric Knox stated that that was really up to the Town. He strated that the rules state that for any logo to be on the exit sign, but must be closer to that exit than any other exit. John Schofield asked about required distances. Eric Knox talked about safety and distances. Galen Aasland asked about additional signage. Eric Knox talked about trail blazers and ramp signs and the roundabouts and jug handles. Erickson Shirley asked about the required signage, if businesses are not visible. Galen Aasland asked for clarification of the CDOT requirements and of shall versus may. Erickson Shirley asked about the design of the signs. Eric Knox stated that the rules are pretty clear that the signs must be blue with white lettering and border. They are looking at softening the colors of the logos of the specific businesses. o Erickson Shirley asked about the more generic signage. Eric Knox stated that he would not handle those types of application. Rick Scalpello, speaking for the Town Council, stated that they wanted the logo signs instead of the generic. He further stated that the needs of the merchants in the Village and Lionshead are met by the information booths and that they don't need signs. He further stated that the 2 businesses in East Vail aren't vehicular oriented and therefore they aren't included in the proposal. Eric Knox stated that they would be open to putting shrubs around the store. George Ruther stated that the East Vail Market would like to be included in this application. Paul Nelson stated that he believed that these signs are very beneficial. He stated that the businesses in West Vail are at a disadvantage. He then stated that he believed that the Town Council had generally approved this application. Sonny Caster, West Vail Conoco, stated that they lost their signage when the business changed over from Exxon to Conoco. He sees this as an opportunity to get advertising on the interstate Justin, representing the Half Moon Saloon, stated that West Vail needs all the help it can get. Rick Scalpello, speaking for the Town Council, stated that the signs must be these kinds of signs and limited to West Vail. Erickson Shirley asked for clarification for the directional ramp signage. George Ruther stated that by this Ordinance, the Town would be adopting the state regulations. Galen Aasland asked if they could make the regulations more specific to the Town. George Ruther clarified that the Town would be deferring to the state regulations for this signage. Erickson Shirley asked if the Town could be more restrictive than the state. Diane Golden stated that she believed that there are too many open questions to take a vote on this today. Eric Knox stated that if the businesses are visible, then ramp signs are not necessary. Rick Scalpello stated that he would find out if they could opt out, and the "shall or may" on the ramp signs, and the 3-mile requirements. John Schofield asked about how this legislation can be applied only to West Vail. Matt Mire, Town Attorney, stated that he shared the concern with fairness and consistency of legislation. Galen Aasland requested information specifically from Matt Mire, Town Attorney, regarding the legalness and fairness of not allowing Main Vail to do similar signs on the highway. Paul Nelson then stated that he had these signs in Kansas and that they are at a disadvantage in West Vail. Then he talked again about how we are hurting economically.

This is a preliminary review, and does not include comments from Public Works or Fire, nor is it an all-inclusive list of planning concerns. Planning staff wanled to provide preliminary commenls within 24 hours of receiving a submiltal. The following issues were identified by staff as critical concerns thal need to be resolved prior to Planning and Environmental Commission review: 1. Submit a final landscape and grading plan, in accordance wilh Sections 12-61-12 and 12-1 1-4, indicating additional opportunities for landscaping, berming, etc. As the Town Code requires, the size and number of trees must be indicated on the plan. Deciduous trees must be of a minimum of 2 inch caliper, and conifers must be a minimum of 6 ft. The scale on the landscape plan is incorrect. Please revise. To be considered snow storage, an area must be contiguous lo the paved area and without lrees or significant landscaping. Please revise your snow storage plan and landscaping plan lo reflect these requirements.4. The landscape plan indicates lrees located in paved areas and within building footprints. Please revise lhe landscape plan. 5. The retaining walls are not consislent from plan lo plan. For example, lhe landscape plan indicates boulder retaining walls while the site plan indicates block walls. Please make the plans consistent.6. Please show the Frontage Road on all plans from property line to property line. This is required to verify the location of improvements in the CDOT right-of-way.7. According lo the CDOT allowances for landscaping that were provided to me, no large trees can be within 30 ft. of the roadway. Does the landscaping, as proposed, meet lhis requirement? Does CDOT allow for retaining walls to be located in their right-oFway. Please provide written verification that these improvements will be allowed in the CDOT right-oFway. 2. 3. {p*"no*ruo . .f, 'l'* v *n' 8. The scale of the sections appears inconsistenl. In one section, the cars are shown as 10 ft. Please revise.9. The plans are not consistent from one plan to the next. The architectural sile plan for the Early Learning Center indicates a sidewalk from the parking area, while the landscape plan does not reflect this. In addition, roof plans are shown differently from plan to plan. Please revise all plans to provide for consistency.10. Please remove'Tuture" and "Town of Vail" in describing the bike and pedestrian path across the development. The path will be required as part of this developmenl. At this time, staff does not believe that the submitlal can be considered complete. Therefore, Middle Creek will be labled lo the April 8,2002, Planning and Environmental Commission meeting. Because of the lack of consislency and the lack ol accurate plans, if the Planning and Environmental Commission were to review this application, it would be unclear as to what they were reviewing. Statf believes that the additional quality control and quality assurance musl be done prior to any additional review by the Community Development Department and the Planning and Environmental Commission. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate lo conlact me at 970-479-2369.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION A. Development Plan in the Housing Zone District The Department of Community Development recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission table the applicant's requesl for development plan approval. Staff believes lhat there are numerous issues that are slill to be resolved, and that the application, as currently proposed, does not comply with the criteria as outlined in Section 12-6112:- Development Standards / Criteria for Evaluation of the Town Code. The issues identified by statf are further discussed in Sections Vl, Vll, and Vlll of this memorandum. B. Conditional Use Permit for the Earty Learning Center The Community Development Departmenl recommends that lhe Planning and Environmenlal Commission table the applicant's request for a conditional use permit to allow for the Early Learning Center based on the analysis provided in Section Vlll of this memorandum, and that the application, as currently proposed, does not comply with Section 12-16-6: Criteria; Findings, of the Town Code. area in which the proposed use is lo be bulk of the proposed use in relation to the Commission deems applicable to the tv. V.SITE ANALYSIS Lot Area: 6.673 acres / 290,676 sq. ft. Buildable Area: 4.573 ac. / 199,200 sq. ft.Hazards: Moderate Debris Flow, Medium Severity Rockfall, Slopes in Proposed Use: excess of 40% Employee Housing, Early Learning Center A complete zoning analysis is attached for reference. DISCUSSION ISSUES In March of 2001, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No.3, Series of 2001, which adopted the Housing zone district. Then, through Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2001, the Town Council rezoned Lot 1, Middle Creek to the Housing zone district. Much like a Special Development District or the General Use zone district, the Housing zone district requires the Planning and Environmental Commission to prescribe development standards, including lol size, density, gross residenlial floor area, height, etc. A zoning analysis has been attached for reference. The lollowing issues have been identified by the staff: The sile is zoned Housing zone district, which was adopted by the Town of Vail in 2001. Its purpose is as follows: The Housing District is intended to provide adequate sites for employee housing which, because of the nature and characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other residential zoning districts. lt is necessary in this district to provide development standards specifically prescribed for each development proposal or project to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 of this Title and to provide for the public welfare. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses, which are intended to be incidental and secondary to the residential uses of the District. The Housing District is intended to ensure that employee housing permitted in the District is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses. A. Density The applicant is cunently proposing '142 dwelling units. The proposal includes 64 studio units, 18 one'bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom unils, and 42 three- bedroom unils. The Land Use Designation for this site is "High Density Residential" which is defined as: The housing in this category would typically consist of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institutional/public uses such as churches, fire stations, and parks and open space facilities. For Middle Creek, the currenl density proposed is 21.3 dwelling units per acre or 31 dwelling units per buildable acre. This is a proposed tolal of 244 beds on the vl. sile. In the Housing prescribes allowable projects: Development Timber Ridge Pilkin Creek Vail Commons Rivers Edge The Tarnes Zonino SDD SDD cc3 not in TOV not in TOV Number of Units 198 156 71 101 130 zone district, the Planning and Environmental Commission density. Staff has provided density comparisons of other Timber Ridge, located at Timber Ridge Village, 1280 N. Frontage Rd. West / Lots C-l through C-5, Lion's Ridge Filing No. 1: In'1979 the Town rezoned Lots C-1 through C-5 from Residential Cluster zone dislrict to Special Development District No. 10. Timber Ridge was developed as a rental employee housing project and received deviations from the design guidelines and density requirements. The density for the site is ',|9.6 dwelling unils per acre.

The underlying zoning is Medium Density Multiple Family zone district. Pilkin Creek Park was developed as an affordable housing project, with commercial elements, and received deviations to the design guidelines and density requiremenls. The affordability provisions expired after 7 years, and the units are now sold at market Zoning: SDD No.3, underlying MDMF Lol Size: 8.29 acres / 361 ,1 12 sq. ft.LUD: Medium Density ResidentialUnits: 156 dwelling unitsDensity: 18.8 du/acre Vai!

Zoning: CC3 Lot Size: 6.568 acres / 286,082 SFLUD: Community CommercialUnits: 71 dwelling unitsDensity: 10.8 du/acre rate. B. Parking According to the Housing zone district, the parking requirements as oullined in Chapter 12-1 0 of the Town Code must be met. However, the Housing zone districl does allow for a reduction in the number of required parking spaces, subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review and approval of a parking management plan. Section 12-61-8: Parking and Loading, of the Vail Town Code, states: Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 10 of this Title. No parking or loading area shall be located within any required setback area. At the discretion of the Planning and Environmental Commission, variations to the parking standards outlined in Chapter 10 may be approved during the review ol a development plan subject to a Parking Management Plan. The Parking Management PIan shall be approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission and shall provide for a reduction in the parking requirements based on a demonstrated need for fewer parking spaces than Chapter 10 of this title would require. For example, a demonstrated need for a reduction in the required parking could include: A. Proximity or availability of alternative modes of transportation including, but not limited to, public transit or shuttle services. B. A limitation placed in the deed restrictions limiting the number of cars for each unit. C. A demonstrated permanent program including, but not limited to, rideshare programs, carshare programs, shuttle service, or staggered work shifts. The allocalion of parking spaces is based on dwelling unit size. Chapter 12-1 0 of the Town Code requires 1.5 parking spaces for units less than 500 sq. fl.; 2 parking spaces for units 500 to 2000 sq. ft.; and 2.5 parking spaces for units over 2000 sq. fl. As proposed, lhe parking requirement would be as follows: Number and Tvoe of Unit Parkinq ratio Total Spaces 64 studio units 18 one-bedroom unils t.c t.J 'f 8 two-bedroom units 2 42 three-bedroom units 2 Total The applicant is proposing 243 parking spaces, meeling the parking requirement lor total spaces, as prescribed by Chapter 12-10 of the Town Code. However, a deviation to the parking requirement is required for the size of lhe parking spaces. As currently proposed, the spaces are configured as follows: 1 10 tandem spaces (45%) 133 single spaces (55%) 103 compact spaces (42%) 25% is allowed by the Town Code 140 tull-size spaces (58%) 96 27 JO 84 243 c. 143 covered spaces (59%) 100 surface spaces (41%) The applicant has increased lhe percentage of enclosed and covered parking. Previously, the applicanl was proposing to enclose 36% of the proposed parking. With this current submittal, the applicant is proposing to enclose 59% of the parking. Staff believes that this is an appropriate percentage of enclosed parking for this site. The remaining surface parking must be screened with site walls, berms, or landscaping. The applicant has provided a parking management plan which is attached for reference. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve lhe development plan, this parking management plan is included in the approval. Snow Storage Title 14, of the Town Code stales: All required parking and access areas shall be designed to accommodate on-site snow storage. A minimum functional area equaling 30% of the paved area shall be provided contiguous to the paved area and designed to accommodate snow storage. Turf areas and other areas without trees may be utliized for this purpose. lf driveways are heated, then the minimum snow storage area may be reduced to 10% of the required parking and access areas. The applicant is providing snow storage equaling 20% of the proposed pavedarea. The minimum requirement is 30%. Staff believes that the amount of snow storage must be increased to meet the minimum standard. Setbacks Section 12-61-5 of lhe Town Code describes the setback requirements: The setbacks in this district shall be 20' from the perimeter of the zone district. At the discretion of the Planning and Environmental Commission, variations to the sehack standards may be approved during the review of a development plan subject to the applicant demonstrating compliance with the following criteria: A. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically sensitive areas and other e nvironm e ntal ly se nsitive areas. B. Proposed building setbacks will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. C. Proposed building setbacks will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. D. Proposed building setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. Variations to the 20 ft. setback shall not be allowed on property lines adjacent to HR, SFR, R, PS, and RC zoned propefties, unless a variance is approved D. vil. by the Planning and Environmental Commission pursuant to Chapter 17 of this Title. The applicant is proposing the following setbacks: Front - 8 ft. Side-74 ft. Side - 20 ft. Rear- 10 ft. As further discussed in Section Vll of this memorandum, staff believes that deviations to the 20 ft. setback are appropriate on this site. However, staff also believes that there must be adequate areas for landscaping to buffer buildings and uses from the l-70 corridor. At some locations adjacent 10 the property line, buildings are proposed to be over 50 ft. in height. Staff believes that the building heights in these locations are inappropriate, given the residential character of the zone district. In addition, the site is generally graded to a 2:1 slope, making large trees difficult to plant. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE H ZONE DISTRICT The following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evalualing a proposed development plan. lt shall be the burden of the applicanl 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, adiacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Adjacent uses to the project include the following: . Solar Vail - a mulliple{amily housing project currently zoned High Density Multiple Family.. Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District.. Parcel B, Spraddle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacent to Lot 1.. l-70 Right-of-Way - land owned by CDOT but located within Town of Vail boundaries. As a road right-of-way, there is no zoning on the property. This property is adjacent lo Lot 1.o White River National Foresl - land owned by the United States Forest Service oulside of the Town of Vail boundary. While the site lacks many direcl neighbors, this site is of extreme importance as it is visible from the main entrance into the Town of Vail. The grades on the site run east to west, and staff believes thal the building design and siling must be sensitive to this orientation. The siting of buildings and improvements must be responsive to the topography of the site. The majority of the proposed buildings on the site are oriented east to west, wilh the exception of Buildings G and H, which the applicant has oriented north to south. Most buildings which are located adjacent to lhe North Frontage Rd. also are oriented also east to west, to minimize grading and retainage. Slaff continues to believe that east to west oriented buildings are more efficient for this site. However, staff believes lhat it is necessary to vary the roof lines ol the east lo wesl oriented buildings. Stepping the main roof ridges, adding significant north to soulh dormers wilh useable GRFA, adding offsets in the buildings, stepping foundations, elc., will help to minimize the height, bulk, and mass of the buildings, making them more compatible with the site. Building A has a the roof ridge thal is 80 ft. long, that changes 4 ft. in elevation, then continues an additional 90 ft. in length. Slaff does not believe that this is the type ol roof form appropriate given the visibility of the site. Staff also has concerns regarding the snow shedding and water runoff from the roofs, given lhe design, thal snow will be deposited on walkways and parking areas. The Design Guidelines state: Boof lines should be designed so as lo not deposit snow on parking areas, trash storage areas, stairways, decks, balconies, or entrryays. Secondary roofs, snow clips, and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas from roof snow shedding if necessary. Staff believes that additional consideration needs to be given to snow shedding and roof design. The use of dormers will allow lor roof drainage to be directed to a common location, and will r4inimize the need for gutters. Overall, stalf does not believe that this criteria has been met. 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. Staff believes that the buildings, improvements, uses, and activities associated with the projecl are not designed or located in a funclional and responsive manner. For example, the recreational amenities at the back of Building C are adjacent 10 a 43 ft. wall. Staff does not believe thal this will function well as a gathering place. Staff does not believe that the proposed buildings, improvements, and activities have been well-integrated into the site. The buildings on the norlh side of the site have limited views of Vail Mountain, but the carports have spectacular views. Adding units above the carports and cantilevering the living space over the drive might eliminate bulk and mass from some of the other buildings. The setbacks in the Housing zone districl shall be 20 ft. According to Section 12-61- 5: Setbacks: The setbacks in this district shall be 20'from the perimeter of the zone district. At the discretion of the Planning and Environmental Commission, variations to the setback standards may be approved during the review of a development plan subject to the applicant demonstrating compliance with the following criteria: E. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically sensitive areas and other e nvi ronme ntal ly se nsitive are as. F. Proposed building setbacks will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. G. Proposed building setbacks will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. 10 H. Proposed building setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. Building G is located 8 ft. from the front property line, and Building H is located 10 ft. from the front property line. The height of Building G at this elevation is 53 ft., while the height of Building H is 58 ft. While stalf believes that deviations to the 20 ft. selback are appropriale, this building height at lhis location is excessive. Statf believes that it will be difficult to visually screen the buildings with any sort of significant landscaping as the grades are relalively steep, and leaves very little room for landscaping on the applicant's property. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designedto preserve and enhance the nalural 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. The limits of disturbance for the west portion of the property keeps development out of the riparian corridor. Slaff believes that this is a benefit of the developmenl. However, there is a significant number of large cotlonwood trees being removed. The applicanl needs to submil additional information about the number and size of the trees being proposed.. As stated above, staff has some concerns regarding the lack of open space area and landscaping located on the site to buffer the buildings and uses. This site is highly visible as the major entry into Vail, and as such, the uses of the site musl be screened appropriately. In addition, landscaping and open space buffering will help to reduce the noise from the highway. Staff believes that because the applicanl is not providing many recreational amenities or useable open space areas on site, it is necessary to tie into existing areas. The nearest park is the Sandslone Tot Lot, which is located beyond Red Sandstone Elementary School. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. This site, due to its lopography, is a difficult site to access. Staff believes that the vehicular circulalion through the site has been designed to be as efficient as possible and meel the Town's regulations regarding access. Staff also believes that the vertical pedestrian circulalion through the site, allowing pedestrians to access the upper portion of the sile through the stairway at Building B, is an efficient and aesthetically pleasing solution to a difficult problem. However, staff is concerned about the lack of separation between the vehicular and pedeslrian circulation for the site. Staff also believes thal a bike palh must be constructed from this project east to the Main Vail Roundabout and west to the pedestrian overpass into Lionshead. Staff has concerns about the exterior walkways to enter inlo units on many of the buildings. To enler into a unit, a resident will have to walk past the windows and entries of other units. Slaff believes that the buildings should function more like 11 Building C, where there is vertical circulation and the exterior corridors have been 'eliminated. The Planning and Environmental Commission, Design Review Board, and staff have discouraged lhis type of circulation pattern in other projects, including the Westhaven Condominiums and Antlers, stating their concerns with an outdated circulation system. ln addition, stafl has concerns regarding the walkway between Buildings G and H; which appears to be cavernous and uninviting. Additional informalion is required regarding site lighting, which slaff believes is an important aspecl of pedestrian circulation. However, staff believes this can be considered at the Design Review Board. Staff has concerns regarding the lack of a drop off area at the Early Learning Cenler, and the lack of a separation between the parking area and the entrance lo the building. The applicant has indicated that to the north of the parking lot, there will be a walkway adjacent to the building. Al its maximum width, it is 3 ft. wide, then narrows to 2 fi. Staff believes that greater consideration should be given 1o the enlrance and walkway to the Early Learning Center, specifically allowing for greater separation of pedestrians and vehicles. Great concern has been given to separate the housing from the Early Learning Center. However, parking for the housing has been located adjacent to the Early Learning Center. The integration of a bus stop into the development is a positive improvement to the development of lhe site. The bus is able lo enter the site entirely, not blocking traffic on the Frontage Road, and exit the site in both directions. Staff believes the applicant has met the concerns of the Planning and Environmental Commission and staff concerning bus traffic. Staff does not believe that this criteria has been met. E. Environmental impacts resulling from the proposal have been identilied in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. The Environmental lmpact Report, which was also reviewed during the major subdivision request, has been included for reference. Staff believes that by limiting development to the east side of Middle Creek, the project has limited its impact on Middle Creek. In addilion, the development has nol encroached onto the 40% slopes, located on lhe northern portion of the site. According to the Town of Vail hazard maps, Middle Creek Subdivision is located within a Medium Severity Rockfall hazard and Moderale Hazard Debris Flow. A site- specific study has been completed by R.J. lrish, dated August 16,2001, and is attached. The consulting engineering geologists acknowledges that lhe risk of debris flow from the Middle Creek Valley to be high during the lifetime of the projecl, with a volume described as "small to quite large." The repod indicates that the enlire site is located within a high hazard debris flow area. The report also suggests that the risk could be minimized by mitigation measures. The report also acknowledges that the 12 risk of rockfall is medium during the lifetime of the project. Mitigation recommended by the report includes dislodging exposed boulders by.hand prior to construction. lt further stales that any boulders would likely be trapped in the channel of the creek. The hazard reports have been included for relerence. Staff believes that the site plan should indicate a limits of disturbance fence, as was required at Booth Falls for the mitigation system. In addition, the hazard mitigation plan also indicates large trees to screen the berm, but the landscape plan indicates shrubs and bushes. Staff believes that the berm must be screened similar lo the screening requirements for the Boothfalls mitigation berm was required to be landscaped. An Environmental lmpact Report has been completed by Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc., and has been attached for reference. The repoft states that while the proposed development of Lot 1 will have an impact on plant and animal communilies presently inhabiting the property, the loss of the 6.5 acres does not represenl a significanl impact to plant and animal communities. The report recommends that all trash dumpsters need to be made bear-proof and exterior lighting will need to be minimized. Both of these must be a condition of approval. The report additionally states that the impacl to Middle Creek could include runoff from paved parking areas. A drainage study has also been included. F. Compliance wilh the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans. The Vail Land Use Plan contains goals which staff considers to be applicable to this requesl. The applicable goals include: 1.0 GeneralGrowth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue lo grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance belween residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and lhe oermanent resident. 1.2 The quality of ths environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protecled as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited developmenl 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. 1.12 Vail should accommodale mosl of the additional groMh in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Addilional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, plalted areas and as appropriale in new areas where high hazards do not exisl. t.t vil. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies the Mountain Bell Site as "approximately half of the property is intended for affordable housing and the remainder ol the site will remain open space." The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is intended to identify and recommend actions for the protection of sensitive land and open space, nol as a guide for development of other properties. The Land Use Designation for this site has been amended lo High Densily Residential. The High Density Residential designation is described as follows: The housing in this category would typically consist of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institutional / public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The Vail Land Use Plan describes the Mountain Bell site as Tract 35 and states: The Mountain Bell microwave facility and two day care centers are located on a 25 acre site owned bv the Town of Vailwhich is north of l-70. A portion of this site under the microwave facitity is owned by Mountain Bell. Part of the entire site in located in an area of medium environmental hazards and should continue to remain in its present use, with possible expansions of the day car centers. lt may also be an option for the ce m etery, f u rth er d i scussed I ate r. REQUIRED CRITERIA AND FINDINGS . COND]TIONAL USE PERMIT In addition 10 the request lor development plan approval as required by the Housing Zone District, the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit lor the relocation ol the Early Learning Center to the eastern portion of the site. Schools, including day cares, are a conditional use in the Housing Zone Dislrict. According to Section 12-16-1: ln order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permifted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as lhe town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. 14 Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shallbe denied. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan identifies the following goals with regards to community services: 6.0 Community Services 6.1 Seruices should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.9 Seruices should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. In addition, the Vail Land Use Plan states that this site is to be used for future expansion of the ABC and Learning Trees Schools. Staff believes that this use is an important use for the Town of Vail and will have a positive impact on the Town. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that the relocation and expansion of the Early Learning Center on this site is a benefit to the Town. According to the summary provided by the applicanl, the Early Learning Center will provide early'learning services for 45 preschool age children, with 12 full-time staff members, and 2 part-time staff members. The Early Learning Center has approximately 5,000 sq. ft. of floor area, and includes a 4,300 sq. fl. ouldoor play area. Slaff believes lhal it is beneficial to have this use located on this site, which is centrally locate in the Town of Vail. An important consideration in the review of this conditional use permil is the possibility for future expansion. Due to the parking, the proximity of the building to ils property line, and the amount and location of play area, future expansion possibilities are limited. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The appticant has proposed 20 parking spaces for the Early Learning Center, including 3 compact spaces. In addition, there is additional parking lor the housing project located adjacent to the parking lor the 1tr o Early Learning Center. Because the times that the parking for the housing will be used are opposite the times that excess parking will be needed lor the Early Learning Center, these spaces will be used for overflow parking from the Early Learning Center. Parking for uses not listed in Chapter 12-10 of the Town Code shall be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission. A memo has been atlached from lhe applicant which explores the parking requirements of other communities. In each case, Boulder, Denver, and Lakewood, these municipalities would require 18 spaces. In addition, slatf has reviewed parking requirements as outlined in "Off-Street Parking Requirements" Planning Advisory Service Report Number 432. ll provides some of lhe following requirements: Aurora, CO - two spaces for each three teachers and one off-street passenger loading place for every eight pupils. With the proposed Early Learning Center, Aurora would require 17 spaces. Orange County, CA - one space per staff member, and one space per five students. With the proposed Early Learning Center, Orange County would require 21 spaces. The Public Works Department has done traffic counts al the Early Learning Cenler and has found that at times there are more than 25 cars at the existing lacility to drop olf children. Staff is recommending 25 parking spaces be provided for the Early Learning Center. The Planning and Environmental Commission sels the parking requirement for uses nol listed in Chapler 12-10 of the Town Code. Some communities have extensive requirements regarding access and parking. Specitically, St. Louis County, MO, requires the following: Two spaces, plus one space for every employee on the maximum shift; a paved unobstructed pick-up space with adequate stacking area (as determined by the Department of Planning) shall be provided in addition to standard driveway and parking requirements, or one space for every six children; a safe pedestrian walkway system (as approved by the Department of Planning) through parking areas to the building entrance, with a safety zone a minimum of 15 feet in width between parking spaces and the front of the building entrance, shall be provided in addition to standards driveway and paking requirements. Staff has some concerns regarding the safety ol the parking area and the inleraction with pedestrians entering lhe building with small children. Staff believes that a separated sidewalk or entryway into the Early Learning Center musl be provided. Staff also has concerns regarding snow slorage for the Early Learning Center parking lot. The Town Code requires an equivalent of 30% of paved areas to be provided for snow storage areas. The applicant has provided 1,795 sq. fl. ol snow storage area adjacent to the Early Learning '16 B. Center parking area. The Town Code would require 4,091 sq. ft. of snow storage. While the applicant has agreed lo a snow managemenl plan that would allow for snow lo be hauled oflsite, staff does not believe that this is an adequate area to store snow. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Staff believes that the use is appropriate for the character of the surrounding area. The maximum height of the Farly Learning Center is at 41 ft. and thal is the height of the tower element. The building is primarily a 2-story building, which staff believes is appropriale given the heights and mass of the adjacent employee housing. The Early Learning Center is 20 ft. off the side property line, and 14 ft. from the fronl property line. While the Housing zone district does permit deviations from the 20 ft. setback, subject to review by the Planning and Environmental Commission, staff has concerns regarding the ability to buffer the building and the play area with adequate landscaping. This buffering is important when considering the noise level from l-70. The Vail Mountain School has recently installed an air-conditioning system because the windows of the classrooms cannot be open during class because of noise issues. Staff recommends that a landscaping and sound berm, which will include large trees, be included in the landscaping plan for the Early Learning Center. Because the play area is located up to the property line, there is limited room for landscaping on the applicant's property. As proposed, all of the landscaping is located on the CDOT right-of-way. CDOT allows trees that are 4"+ in caliper 1o be planted 30 feet from the edge of the road. Staff believes thal this should be further considered. FINDINGS The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section ol the zoning code and the purposes of the districl in which the site is localed. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or wellare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. Thal the proposed use would comply with each ol the applicable provisions of the condilional use permit seclion of the zoning code. 17 g g o o€oco - Ia .g ttoE TU o.o o uJ -o E€o Eo- Lu .otoo t!

The site is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell building, near the Vail Village roundabout and the Lionshead pedestrian bridge. The proximity to the center of town presents the possibility of a transit-oriented development, reducing the use of the automobile in favor of pedestrian and bus traffic. The development does provide 245 parking spaces exceeding the Town of Vail standards. The Middle Creek development contains 11 buildings, including the Early Learning Center and 2 covered parking buildings. Allof the residential buildings have three or four stories of units, and many incorporate tuck-under parking. This allows the development to have a density of 21.3 dwelling units per acre, while maintaining 60 % of the site as open space. ln addition, the tuck-under parking helps to provide the development with a total 144 covered parking spaces, or 59%. PROGRAM: The 142 units of affordable housing on the Middle Creek site are divided into four separate unit types: studio, 1 , 2 and 3 bedroom units. The majority of the units are three bedroom or studio units. These iwo unit types incorporate two variations each, providing a wide range of unit choices to accommodate many types of living situations. Five of the buildings have tuck-under parking and three stories of units; two buildings have four stories of units. Building B contains the community center on the ground level with studio units above. The community center will contain a leasing office, laundry facilities, and community areas such as mailboxes. There will be a Town of Vail bus stop directly in front of this building. The central location and community facilities of building B will encourage the use of transit, as well as provide a gathering place. The Early Learning Center will replace the existing ABC/Learning Tree Child Care Center on the site. lt will serve up to 60 children and 15 staff with a gross area of approximately 5,000 square feet. The Early Learning Center contains five classrooms, a studio, a kitchen and an outdoor play area. This building will be more fully developed as we proceed with the details of the interior floor plans in future design charettes with staff and parents. SITE: The Mountain Bell site is arranged around four axes, which create distinct view coridors and organize the site as a whole. Two of these axes direct the eye to the existing Mountain Bell building, reinforcing and enhancing this significant piece of the Town of Vail's architectural heritage. The central axis establishes views from the town of Vail to the mountains beyond. Two four-story buildings, oriented north-south, flank this axis and create a community plaza for the residents of this development. The buildings themselves reinforce this view corridor, stepping down the sloping site io create varied and modulated architecture. The eastern most axis separates the housing portion of the site from the relocated early learning center with a landscaped area. This separation provides needed privacy between the activity of the housing and community center and the quiet nature of the early learning center. Each of these view corridors performs a specific function to organize the development. This site organization splits the development into three distinct clusters of buildings, effectively reducing the visual density of the project. The west cluster houses the community center and bus stop. The bus stop is placed just inside the main entrance of the development, allowing easy and safe transit access and minimizing curb cuts. The east cluster has a strong visual presence, creating a community of buildings respectful towards the Town of Vail while offering opportunities for resident interaction. The early learning center, near the eastern edge of the development, has both privacy and a direct connection to the surrounding open space. The clusters are arranged along a central spine of vehicular access and parking. This corridor greatly reduces the paved area while maintaining a 5 o/o or less grade across the site for ease of movement and fire department access. Some of the buildings sit on the south side of this corridor, screening the parking beyond. These buildings also have opportunities for solar access, including south-facing entries. The axes and the central corridor work together as well; generating areas of south-facing open space and community plazas where they intersect. The view corridors break up the parking areas to create a more residential feel. This site organization provides efficient access while preserving views and open space. PHASING PLANS: There are no anticipated phasing plans in place at this time. A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. This development respects and incorporates the existing architecture of the town of Vail. The character and scale of the buildings reflects the existing Bavarian village feel of the town. The Mountain Bell building, a significant Vail architectural landmark, is given pride of place next to the community building. The orientation of the buildings provides solar access and creates south-facing open spaces. The massing of the buildings into clusters minimizes the visual density of the development. 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. This development provides needed housing for the working population of Vail. Within the development, units are provided for individualworkers as well as working families. The Mountain Bell Site will be a transiforiented development, reducing automobile useage in favor of bus and pedestrian traffic. The density of the buildings allows more room for open spaces and natural areas. The development plan successfully introduces a large amount of housing while remaining sensitive to the prominent nature of this 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. The placement of the buildings on the site into clusters reduces the visual impact. The spaces around the buildings themselves are pedestrian plazas where residents can interact. Between the residential and early learning areas of the development, a landscaped area provides a separation and a natural area of open space. A bicycle and pedestrian path connects the development to the pedestrian bridge to the west. The view corridors retain views of the mountains while organizing the site. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the develooment. A central spine of vehicular circulation allows efficient access and takes advantage of the elongated east-west axis of the site, creating a maximum S% grade. There is parking for each building either under or near each building. The entire site is served by a Town of Vail bus stop and a bicycleipedestrian path which will ultimately connect to the pedestrian bridge, reducing the need for cars overall. Pedestrian circulation within the site takes place along a corridor which follows the central spine yet remains separate, moving the car to the outside of the development. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the projects environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. Yes, these impacts have been identified in the environmental impact report, and will be implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. A preliminary mitigation plan has been submitted to the PEC, and a mitigation specialist will be hired to complete the plan. o Summary Earlv Learning Center Proqram Summary: The Early Learning Center is an all-day school program. The ages of the chifdren range from 2to 5-112 years. The ELC building has an approximate gross floor area of 5,000 square feet on two floors. The area on the first floor, approximately 3,750 square feet, is dedicated to classrooms and children's areas. Administrative functions occupy approximately 1,250 square feet on the second floor.
