SUMMARY
The applicant, Town
of Vail, is requesting amendments to the Town of Vail Zoning map for three properties:
Ruder cemetery at 2846 Basingdale Boulevard
Red Sandstone Park parking lot at 715 North Frontage
Road
Parcel G, Residences at Briar Patch at 1448 Buffehr Creek Road.
The Town of Vail owns the Ruder Cemetery and Red Sandstone Park properties and is under contract to purchase Parcel
G, Residences at Briar Patch. All three properties currently have residential zoning designations. Staff does not believe any of these three properties are the appropriate location
for future residential development. Instead, Staff believes these three properties should be designated as properties for continued open space and recreational uses.
On June 27,
2011; July 11, 2011; and July 25, 2011 the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded recommendations of the approval for the zoning map amendments for the Ruder cemetery,
Red Sandstone Park parking lot, and Parcel G of the Residences at Briar Patch.
On August 2, 2011 the Vail Town Council approved the first reading of this Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2011 by a vote of 7-0-0.
On August 2, 2011 the Vail Town Council also approved
the associated Resolution No. 15, Series of 2011, contingent upon the adoption of this ordinance on second reading. The associated Resolution No. 15, Series of 2011, changes the Land
Use Plan map designations for the three properties from residential categories to open space.
