George Ruther gave a presentration per the staff memorandum.
Jim Lamont representing the Vail Village Homeowners Association made several comments
regarding boundaries of the Master Plan, traffic impacts, and unspecific language sunounding this
proposal when it was before Town Council. Lamont does not find any factual proof supporting the
rezoning. This is a critical piece of property and the Town needs to know how changing the zoning
will impact infrastructure.
Gwen Scalpello, stated that over the next 3 or 4 years the Frontage Road will become a wall of 80-
foot tall buildings. Concemed about preseMng open space. The lGfoot setback in LMU-1 is
much too small, 20 feet would be much more appropriate.
The Commission supports the rezoning as the memorandum adequately addresses the criteria
and to have a zone district applied to the property will be more favorable than an SDD. Several
members expressed concem that traffic impacts will need to be understood upon submittal of a
development application. The opportunity to work with the hospital should be explored in eamest.
The Commission felt that bringing one more parcel into the Master Plan area was beneficial as it
applied criteria for review of a development plan. The Commission believed that all the issues Jim
had raised have been addressed over the course of several meetings regarding the rezoning
proposal. In addition, Resolution 15, Series of 2005, addressed many of the concems raised by
Mr. Lamont. ,'
3. A request for a final review of a major exlerior alteration, pusuant to Section 12-7A-12, Major

Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Village Homeowners, stated that his group's issue is that there
is no master plan for this area. He believes that the property should be looked at a in a larger
picture, perhaps in conjunction with the Timber Ridge redevelopment. Concerned about future
CDOT improvements to increase the width of l-70 and the impacts on the Frontage Road. These
changes could affect the number of curFcut allowing access to the site. Suggested that rezoning
the property may be more appropriate in order to give the developer greater flexibility.
Kevin Dieghan, principle of Timberline Roost Lodge, stated that the Roost is the most heavily used
hotel in Town. This is a telling sign that there is a need for a lower priced lodging option. This is a
perfect site for a selecl seryice hotel which currently does not exist in this market. The Marriott
finds that fewer than 10o/o of guests use the kitchen in the unit.
Pat Dauphinais, neighboring property owner, wanted to address traffic concems. He pointed out
the possible need of a left turn lane at the Buffehr Creek Road intersection. He does not believe
that a left hand turn lane would be needed for a hotel with three curb-cuts. Mr. Dauphinais asked
George Ruther for clarification on the EHU provisions requirements. Mr. Dauphinais believed the
EHU requirement is awfully light. Mr. Dauphinais informed the applicant that they would be paying
for any construction easement that may be needed. Mr, Dauphinais has concerns about the
architectural elevations, but does not see any reason for denying the project.
Bill Jewitt agrees with most of what Jim Lamont stated. Commissioner Jewitt would like to see
architectural styles match in the West Vail area; need to break up ridge, concemed about
constructability of project. Physical model would be very helpful and maybe a digital model as
well. .i
Rollie Kjesbo agrees property needs to be redevelopment. The design would be better suited for a
flat lot. The design does not respond to site. The unbroken ridgeline is a concern. Three access
points probably excessive and turn lane likely necessary. Commissioner Kjesbo agrees text
amendment affecting entire town would be problematic regarding kitchens in accommodation
units.
George Lamb believes the applicant's schedule is too aggressive. Model is imperative.
Commissioner Lamb is in favor of the concept of redevelopment and a lower price point hotel,
though is concemed that the plan does not respond to the site appropriately in terms of grading
and drainage; Commissioner Lamb feels it is worth the effort to work with the applicant but thinks
there is a lot of work ahead in terms of bulk, mass, and height.
Anne Gunion agrees that the project does meet most of the development standards, however,
there are criteria for review which the project does not meet. She feels design (bulk, mass, and
height) is not appropriate for site; is concerned with how retaining walls will work in terms of
landscaping. Commissioner Gunion like some site sections submitted. Would wait to do a model
until DRB comments are obtained.
David Viele sees the project as a use by right and the project was designed that way. He believes
doing a master plan now would be inappropriate; thinks the building has a long way to go in terms
of architecture and design. This site is different than those found in the Village (property values).
Chas Bernhardt likes the concept and under ground parking. He does not like the steep cuts and
thinks the retaining wall is a concern. Project does not comply with Criteria 4. Maybe establish a
Public Accommodation 2 zone district to address the kitchen desire.

5.
Doug Cahill stated that he agreed with all the previous comments. He believes a model is
necessary. Believes the architecture is 'stale'. Three access points in terms of function witl
probably work. Concemed about how EHU requirements are calculated.
Tom Kassmel addressed several traffic issues and concerns in regards to CDOT designation.
Frontage Roads are arterials within Town. This project is doubling in size and a tum lane would be
required.
Bill Fox, the applicant's traffic engineer, stated that the requirements for a frontage road or an
arterial are thb same in terms of wananting tum lanes. Does not believe this project requires a
tum lane.

Wanen Campbell gave a presentation pursuant to the staff memorandum.
Jay Peterson and Bob FiEgerald, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the changes
made to the Ritz-Carlton project since the last meeting. Mr. Peterson stated that the changes
represent the applicant's response to each of the PEC members' comments. Mr. Petersen
concluded by stating that the applicant would be removing two of the condominium spaces from
the requested Conditional Use Permit request and would be reserving a common space for
potential retail area once the West Lionshead Master Plan including a possible lift was explored
further.
The Commission was positive and praised the changes made by the applicant. Commissioner Bill
Jewitt stated that he felt that retail/commercial in this project was not appropriate and felt that the
Master Plan anticipated this high density condominium project. Other members of the
Commission felt that the flexibility of not requesting Conditional Use Permits for condos on all the
units at this time was good until more was known about the potential development in the West
Lionshead area.

BACKGROUND
On April 1, 1986, the VailTown Council approved Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1986,

The underlying zoning on the property was High Density Multiple Family (HDMF).
This approval granted development rights for a total of 220 accommodation units, 24
dWelling units with a total allowable GRFA of 116,153 square feet.
On March 21, 1989, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No.7, Series of

Amendment to the Official Zoninq Mao of the Town of Vail (rezonino)
Chapter 3, Administration and Enforcement, Title 12, Zoning Title, of the Vail Town
Code authorizes amendments to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail.
Pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendments, in part,
"an application to amend the district boundaries of the Zoning Map may be
initiated by petition of any resicient or property owner in the Town."
Furthermore, Section 12-3-7 C prescribes the criteria and findings the Planning and
Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider with respect to a
request to amend the Zoning tr4ap.
The applicant is seeking a recommerroation of approval to rezone Lot 2, Block 1, Vail
Lionshead 2* Filing, from High Density Multiple Family (HDMF) District to the
Lionshead Mixed Use-1 (LMU-1 ) District.
According to Section 12-3-7' C, of the Vail Town Code,
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the
Planning and Environrnental Commission and Town Council shall consider the
following factors with respect to the requested zone district boundary amendment:
,r 1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with
all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and
policies outlined in the Vaii Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with the development objectives of the Town; and
Section V of this memorarrdum outiines all of the goals and policies
implemented or that are relevant to the proposed rezoning of Lot 2, Block
1, Vail Lionshead 2'd Filing. The proposed rezoning specifically
implements the Vail Lancj Llse Plan land use designation of Resort
Accommodation and Service which states, in part, thai,
! "This area inclucles act:,,ities aimed at accommodating the overnight
and short-tern t6rlor. Itrimar'1 uses include hatels, lodges, service
sfaflons, and parking siruc:tures with densities up to 25 dwelling units
per acre.'
According to Sectiorr 12-i'i1-1: Purpose; Lionshead Mixed Use-1 District,
"The Lionshea,l Mixeci '.-tse 1 District is intended to provide sifes for a
mixture of multiple-fariily dwellings, /odgeg hotels, fractional fee
clubs, time shareg lo.ige ctweiling units, restaurants, offices, skier
, seruices, ancl commercial establishments in a clustered, unified
development. LionslpaC Mixed Use 1 District, in accordance with the
Lionshead Redevelop.rnen! Master Fian, is intended to ensure
adequate light, air. opsn space and other amenities appropriate to the
permifted types of buitdings and uses and to maintain the desirabte
qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development
standards. This District is meant to encourage and provide incentives
for redevelopment in accardance with the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan."
This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for
properties to redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to
create an economically vibrant lodging, housing, and commercial core
area. The incentives in this Zone District include increases in
allowable gross,?srdential floor area, building height, and density
over the previously established zoning in the Lionshead
Redevelopment ivlaster Pian study area. The primary goal of the
incentues is to create economic conditions favorable to inducing
private redeveloprneni corrslsfenf with the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance
public off-site improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. With
any developmenUredevelopment poposal taking acivantage of the
incentives creaied herein, the following amenities will be evaluated:
sfreetscape i m p rove m e nt s, o e d e str i a n/bi cycle access, p u bl ic pl aza
redevelopmeti, public art, roaciway improvernents, and similar
improvernents.
The proposed rezonrrrg is corrsistent and cornpatible with the Vail
Comprehensive Plan and t:e Town's development objectives.
2. The extent to whiclr the zone district ameitdment is suitable with the
existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and
potential surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted
planning documents; and
The Lionshead Mixed Use- i District estabiishes zoning that is consistent
with both existing an,l propcsed uses on the parcel. The proposed use of
the property will rerr.rir' as a lcdge thus providing short-term
accommociations for guests and visitors to the Town. Special attention
should be given holevei ir ihe proposed Detaiied Plan
Recommendations outlined Chapter 5 of the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan, if adopted, ihat smres,
"5.19.3 Preserr:aiicn ui' F-xistirrg Accommooation Units
The Evergreen l.'rdqe presently contains 128 short term
accornrnorlaiiori units. In additior:, i'he Evergreen Lodge also
contains a restar"irani, iounge, spa, artd meeting space facilities
incidentai to tiie op--raticr'r of the Lodge. Given the importance
aircl rreed fo; shoit ienn accornntodaiions to the vitality and
success oi tiie ccrirrrtunity, any future redevelopment of the site
shall ensure the ,leservation of short term accommodation units
on the site.. 'fhe ;:iesenration of ;hort term accommodations
should focus on m::intaining the number of existing hotel beds and
the amourrt r.,f gro:;3 residerttial square footage on the site rather
than merelv requirirrg the preservation of 128 accommodation
3.
units. Witll this i;-r rrrind, the quality of ihe existing accommodation
unit room cr:uld be upgraoed and the rooms could be reconfigured
to create multi-rooi'n suites. In no instead, however, should the
amount of gross rer:iciential floor area devoted to accommodation
units be reduced. "
The zone district ermendn:erit is consistent with existing and potential
uses on surrounding propeities. According to the Vail Land Use Plan, the
adjoining land use desigrraflons include Resort Accommodations and
Services, Tourist Comnnercial, Public/Semi Public and Medium Density
Residential. Pursuant to the Plan, the existing land use designation is
Resort Accommodalions and Services. The area governed by the
Lionshead Redeveloprirer i Masler Plan is designated as Tourist
Commercial. A review of ine Zoning Regulaiiorrs dernonstrates that the
uses allowed in the Licrnstlead lVirxecj Use-1 zone district are compatible
with both the inteni <irrd purposes of the Resort Accommodations and
Services and Tourisi Comniercial land use designations.
The extent to which tl"rc' zone district amendment presents a
harmonious, convenient, worxable relationship among land uses
consistent with rni.rnicipai development objectives; and
The Lionshead tuiixeci tlse-1 (LMU-1) District is consistent with the
existing and propt;seci use of ihe propertv. -i'he proposed zone district
implements spectlic goals of ttie Vail Larrd Use Plan and Lionshead
Redeveloprnent l\4asier Plan. Siatt believes ihat the proposed re-zoning
presents a harmoniolrs, ct-,nvenient, and workable relationship with land
uses in the area c,Jrrsisterri wiih the existirig and proposed use of the
property. For example, while the overall density of development on the
Evergreen l-odge developlrent site wili increase as a result of the zone
district botrndary ai'irendrlent. the proximity oi tlrc development site to the
South Frontage xoad, rlre deta,ied plarr recommendations for the
development site, and the anticipated off site vehicular and pedestrian
improvements ensure$ a \,r'crkabie reiationshro among land uses. More
specifically, the ar;'rnouii;rigenient rrf the need for coordinated future
development with ';lrc 'V.:,r Vall(,y f/edical Cerrter, as outlined in the
detailed pian reco:rrri'errci:rtrons lbr tne Eve:gieen Lodge development
site, ensures that irie nrrtrticipai developmerii objective of minimizing
vehicular access to lfre rriedicai cerrter rrotir West Meadow Drive will be
achieved. Adctiri.-rnally, $ection 5.19.:i, Preservatiorr of Existing
Accommodation t-,i'lits, ,-.i tirc Lionshead nedeveloprnent Master Plan,
ensures that the hrtL:re illi:, r:f the siie will irrr:lude a ntinimum number of
accommocjation unris. A l..,)rrgstandittg goa/ of the Town iras been no net
loss of existing ac'JonrrTrcdaiion ulits. Lodge and acccrmmodation units
are permitted uses in ihe Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district. A review
of the purpose sta;...,inenr$ r.ri rhe i,-ionsheaci Mrxed Use-1 zone district and
the High Densitv iv'h.ltiiuje Fanriiy eone dislt'ic! reveais that both are
intended to provirle' sites [r",r 'multitr>le family dwellings; lodges, hotels and
ofher uses relate ta wttef .:rui sumtner recreation".
4.The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the
growth of an orcierly viable community and does not constitute spot
zoning as the i.lmendrnent serves the best interests of the
community as a whole; and
The proposed re-zoning establishes consistent zoning for the property.
This re-zoning will create a zone district consistent with the existing and
proposed use of :he pruperiy. The proposed re-zoning and development
plan provide for the developnient of i,n orderly viable community
consisteni with the Town's developrnent rnterests as expressed in the
Lionshead Redeveiopment Master Plan. For instance, the Vail Land Use
Plan desigrrates the site as 'Resorl Accomnooations ar,ci Servlbes . The
purpose of rnis larrd use designatiorr is, in pan. 'lo provide areas where
hofer uses wili be cotrutt:,i'.r'ateu, reflechrrg the conrmunity's goal to
concentrate izotels withnt rle core areas". The purpose of the Lionshead
Mixed Use-1 zone district is, in part, "to provide slfes for lodges, hotels,
ftactional fee clubs, Iodge dwelling units, antl tirneshares" , "to provide
economic incentives ior croperties to rccieveiop" and "fo create an
economically viba:',t toogrjg, housirig anci camnterciai core area." Slalf
believes thai th:s arlendnrent lunhers the developmeni objectives of the
Town and serves trre best irrterest of the cornnrunity as a whole.

Since the original lriopi: ...: ,rf zrrnlng on the prspsrtv, the Town of Vail
has undergone an erle,'rsi,,'e study' for ihe redevelopment of the
Lionshead area of Tolvri. As such, the Town has adopted clearly
identifiable goals and obj*:rives for deveioprnent in this general area of
Town. In order to ensur-e ti"rat these goals ana objectives for development

Detailed Plan Recommendations
5.19 Evergren Lodge atVail
The Evergreen Lodge is located directly east of the Middle Creek Stream
Tract and is bordered to the north by the South tr'rontage Road, to the south
by the Vail Valley Medical Center, and to the east by the WestStar Bank
olfice building. The lot area is 114,337 square feet or 2.625 acres. Physical
improvements that currently exist on the site are a nine story stucco
hoteVcondominium structure with an adjoining two-story hotel facilities
wing, two below-grade structured parking garages' and paved surface
parking. The nine story structure has a predominant east-west orientation
along the southerly edge of the site while the facilities wing has a north-south
orientation along the western edge of the site. The eastern parking garage is
utilized by the Vail Valley Medical Center for employee parking and is
accessed from the South Frontage Road through a shared entry/exit with the
WestStar Bank office building.
Opportunities for future improvements and upgrades include:
o Creation of more underground parking;
o Architectural enhancements consistent with the Lionshead
Architectural Design Guidelines;r Improved exterior lighting;
o Coordinated vehicular access;
r Improved streetscape and landscaping along the South Frontage
Road;
e Improved pedestrian circulation; and
. Upgraded and expanded hotel accommodations and amenities
5.19.1 Pedestrian Access
Pedestrian access should be upgraded to provide a safe and attractive
pedestrian connection from the South Frontage Road' through the Evergreen
Lodge development site, to West Meadow Drive with a continuous
pedestrian/bicycle path along the South Frontage Road' as depicted on Map
T herein. A gravel path connecting the South Frontage Road to the paved
pedestrian path located on the east side of the Dobson Ice Arena presently
exists along the south side of the property. This path' while functional'
receives little, if any, regular maintenance and includes a railroad tie set of
stairs that is unsafe and in disrepair.
There are currently no pedestrian improvements located along the South
Frontage Road. Though no improvements exist, a fair number of
pedestrians use the southerly edge ofthe South Frontage Road when entering
or exiting the site. In order to improve pedestrian access and safety' it is
recommended that future redevelopment of the site includes the construction
of a continuous pedestrian/bicycle path along the South Frontage Road and
that the existing gravel path along the southerly edge of the site be improved
and regularly maintained. Said improvements may necessitate the need for
pedestrian access easements through the site.
5.19.2 South Frontage Road Improvements and Vehicular Access
The site is currently accessed by vehicles off of the South Frontage Road
from two, full movement, two-way access points. The current location of
these access points relative to the existing access points for the WestStar
Bank Building, Vail Valley Medical Center parking structure, Town of Vail
Municipal Buildings, and potential future access points to the Vail Valley
Medical Center and Vail International Building results in undesirable traffic
flow and turning movements creating traffic safety and capacity concerns.
Given the preximity ef the eastern mest oeeess peint te these ef the Voil
Valley Medieal Genter and the WestSter Bank effiee building; less than
vieiniff. In keeping with Policy Objective 2.3.4, Improved Access and
Circulation, of the Plan, opportunities for public transportation and
vehicular circulation improvements should be explored in conjunction with
any future redevelopment of the site. Possible opportunities for
improvements may include, an improved mass transit stop,
relocated/reduced/shared points of entry/exiting restricted access points'
acceleration/ deceleration lanes, greater sight distances, dedicated turning
lanes and landscaped medians, and the evaluation and possible
implementation of an intersection solution, such as a roundabout.
5.19.3 Preservation of Existing Accommodation Units
The Evergreen Lodge presently contains 128 short term accommodation
units. In addition, The Evergreen Lodge also contains a restaurantr lounget
spa, and meeting space facilities incidental to the operation of the Lodge.
Given the importance and need for short term accommodations to the
vitality and success of the community, any future redevelopment of the site
shall ensure the preservation of short term accommodation units on the site.
The preservation of short term accommodations should focus on maintaining
the number of existing hotel beds and the amount ofgross residential square
footage on the site as well as requiring the preservation of 128
accommodation units. With this in mind, the quality of the existing
accommodation unit room could be upgraded and the rooms could be
reconligured to create multi-room suites. In no instance, however, should the
amount of gross residential floor area devoted to accommodation units be
reduced. In fact, opportunities for increasing the number of accommodation
units beyond the existing 128 units already on-site should be evaluated
during the development review process. For example, the construction of
6'attached accommodation unitstt, as defined in the Zoning Regulationsr could
signilicantly increase the availability of short term rental opportunities
within the building.
5.19.5 Impacts on Middle Creek Stream Tract
The Middle Creek Stream Tract lies to the west of the Evergreen Lodge. The
Tract is owned by the Town of Vail. The tract is heavily vegetated with
several substantial deciduous trees and a significant lower layer of
underbrush. Although the site borders the Middle Creek Stream Tract' there
is no significant amount of quality vegetation on the site, and the parcel lies
out of the 100-year flood plain. As currently configured, opportunities exist
to better recognize the benefits of creekside development. While the natural
riparian corridor of Middle Creek needs to remain protected and preserved'
the physical and visual relationships and references between adjacent
development and the stream tract should be strengthened. An opportunity
exists to create a significant connection between the Evergreen Lodge and
Middle Creek. Any use of Middle Creek for aesthetic or recreational
purposes, however, should be subordinate to the preservation of the natural
riparian corridor and its inherent natural character. The Middle Creek
Stream Tract may provide an opportunity for the construction of a
recreational path connecting the South Frontage Road to the existing
pedestrian paths at the Dobson Ice Arena.
5.19.6 Relationship to the Vail Valley Medical Center and the proposed Vail
Civic Center
Perhaps the most critical functional relationship is the need to coordinate
any future development on the Evergreen Lodge site with the Vail Valtey
Medical Center. For example, every effort should be taken to ensure that
future development on the Evergreen Lodge site does not preclude the Vail
Valley Medical Center from reconliguring the design of the medical center to
eliminate vehicular access off of West Meadow Drive and relocate the access
to the South Frontage Road. Additional opportunities may include' shared
service and delivery facilities, grading and site improvements, shared
parking, pedestrian pathway connections, and land exchanges.
5.19.7 Service and Delivery
Service and delivery functions for the hotel are accommodated on grade
from the westerly entrance. Service and delivery for the Evergreen Lodge
should occur underground or be hidden from public view. Service and
delivery truck furning maneuvering should not negatively impact traffic flow
on the South Frontage Road. With a realignment of the vehicular access
points, attention should be given to the location ofservice and parking areas.
An additional level of structured parking at the current Frontage Road level
would help to minimize the apparent height of the existing or future
structures, decrease the grade at existing access points, increase the amount
of landscaping on the surface of the structure, and hide service functions
below grade.
5.19.8 Setbacks from the South Frontage Road
Special consideration should be given to the setback of buildings from the
South Frontage Road. Pursuant to the Lionshead Mixed Use -1 zone district
setback standards, a minimum l0-foot (10') setback is allowed. Given the
relationship of the development site to the South Frontage Road' the need for
adequate area for vehicular tralfic circulation, the importance of a landscape
area to visually screen the massing of the building, and the existence of a 30-
foot wide utility easement along the southerly edge of the South Frontage
Road, the minimum required front setback for the Evergreen Lodge
development site shall be thirty feet (30'). This increased setback
requirement shall supersede the l0-foot setback requirement prescribed in
Section l2-7H-10, Setbacks, Vail Town Code.
5.1 9.9 Architectural Improvements
The architectural design guidelines (Chapter 8) discuss several transition
tools that can be used to adapt an existing building to the new character and
architectural quality desired for Lionshead. Given the high visibility of the
buildings on this site and the extent to which they influence the quality of the
experience ofpassers-by, all future development on the site should be closely
scrutinized for compliance with the applicable architectural design
guidelines.
5.19.f 0 Public Transit Stop
A public transit stop is presently located east of the WestStar Bank Building
across the street from the Town Municipal offices. Through the future
redevelopment of the Evergreen Lodge and the Vail Valley Medical Center'
an opportunity exists to potentially relocate the transit stop to a more
optimal location.
