Attractive Attributes Recognized: Vail is a Town with a unique natural setting, intemationally known for its natural beauty, alpine environment, and the compatibility of manmade structures with the environment. These characteristics have caused a significant number of visitors to come to Vail with many visitors eventually becoming permanent residents participating in community life.B. Area Character Protection: These factors constitute an important economic base for the Town, both for those who earn their living here and for those who view the Town as a precious physical possession. The Town Council finds that new development and redevelopment can have a substantial impact on the character of an area in which it is Iocated. Some harmful effects of one land use upou another can be prevented through zoning, subdivision controls, and buiiding codes. Other aspects of development are more subtle and less amenable to exact rules put into operation without regard to specific development proposals. Among these are the general form of the land before and after development, the spatial relationships of structures and open spaces to land uses within the vicinity and the Town, and the appearance ofbuildings and open spaces as they contribute to the area as it is being developed and redeveloped. In order to provide for the timely exercise ofjudgment in the public interest in the evaluation of the design of new dcvelopment and redevelopment, the Town Council has created a Design Review Board (DRB) and design criteria.C. Desig'n Review: Therefore, in order to preserve the nafural beauty of the Town and its setting, to protect the welfars of the community, to maintain the values created in the community, to protect and enhance land and property, for the promotion of health, safety, and general welfare in the community, and to attain the objectives set out in this Section; thc improvement or alteration of open space, exterior design of all new development, and all modifications to existing development shall be subject to design review as specified in this Chapter.D. Guidelines: It is the intent of these guidelines to leave as much design freedom as possible to the individual designer while at the same time maintaining the remarkable natural beauty of the area by creating structures which are designed to complement both their individual sites and surroundings. The objectives ofdesign review shall be as follows: l. To recogaize the interdependence of the public welfare and aesthetics, and to provide a method by which this intlerdependence may continue to benefit its citizens and visitors. 2. To allow for the devel[pment of public and private property which is in harmony with the desired character ofthe Town as defined by the guidelines herein provided. 3. To prevent the unnecessary destruction or blighting ofthe natural landscape. 4, To ensure that the arc$itectural design, location, configuration materials, colors, and overall treaknent ofbuil$up and open spaces have been desigred so that they relate harmoniously to the natuhal landfonns and native vegetation, the Town's overall appearance, with surrounding development and with officially approved plans or guidelines, if any, for thg areas in which the structures are proposed to be located. 5, To protect neighborin$ property owners and users by making sure that reasonable provision has been made for such matters as pedestrian and vehicular traffic, surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, the preservation oflight and air, and those aspects of design not adqquately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring lalnd uses.

If the context ib unclear, the matter will be refened to the Design Review Board for final determination. B, Mandatory, Discletionary Distinction: The distinction made between those items contained within this Chfpter that are mandatory and those that are discretionary is that statements which are mafrdatory are prefaced by the word "shall", and the statements or guidelines which are discretionary (or merely suggestions) are prefaced by the words "should" or "may".

(Ord. 39(1983) g l)C. Nonconforming Sites Aad Srucrures; Effect Of Design Guidelines: 1. Buildings and sites w$ich are not in conformance with the design guidelines, due to annexations or changes i1h code provisions (i.e., legal nonconformities), shall be required to conform with the desiln guidelines when allowable gross residential floor area (GRIA) (the GRFA that is permitted by the density control section of various zone districts), commercial floor area, or gzrage area credit is added to any existing structure or site. 2. From the effective date of July 21, 1998, there shall be permitted a one-time exclusion from this provision for an expansion to single-family, two-family, and primary/secondary residential dwelling units. This one-time exclusion shall be allowed fbr a single expansion offive hundred (500) square feet or less ofallowable GRFA or garage area credit per dwelling unit. In which case, structures may be expanded without requiring upgrades to entire struchres and sites to conform with the design guidelines. The addition itself, however, shall conform with the design guidelines. An expansion which is greater than five hundred (500) square feet, or any subsequent expansion to a structure, regardless of size, shall require full compliance of the dwelling unit with the design guidelines. 3. General maintenance and upkeep ofa property shall continue to be required regardless of the amount of floor area added to a strucfure. The one-time exclusion noted above shall not preclude thc Design Review Board, pursuant to the design guidelines, from requiring landscaping and other improvements necessary to buffer or mitigate development impacts associated with the expansion/remodel. 4. Expansions made pursuant to Section 12-15-5 of this Title shall require full compliance of the entire dwelling unit with the design guidelines. Interior conversion additions pursuant to Section l2-15-4 of this Title shall not trigger the requirement for upgrading sites and structures to fully comply with the desigfr guidelines, unless it can be classified as a demo/rebuild, pursuant to Section 12-2-2 of this Title.
