3. Adacent property owners list and envelopes,

permit proposal does not alter the existing lot area and site dimensions, setbacks,

use, is parking. This proposal increases the parking demand for this tenant space from
12.5 to 14.6 parking spaces. The existing Treetops commercial building currently has
surplus parking, and if this proposal is approved, the Treetops commercial building will

VIII. REVIEW GRITERIA
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of
the Town.
Staff believes the proposed convefsion of existing vacant retail space to
"temporary buslness ofifrce" use is consistent with the development objectives
of the Town. This conversion from empty retail spaces to "temporary
buslness ofifrce" uses will ensure that Vail Resorts' employees are working
near the ski mountain and will fill curently vacant space in the Treetops
building with activity. Staff also believes this proposal is consistent with the
intent, purpose, and standards of Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2004, which
allsws for this temporary relocation of otfice uses within Lionshead.
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 does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative effect on
the above criteria in comparison to existing conditions.
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.
As this proposal exceeds the minimum parking standards of the Vail Town
Code, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative
eff€ct on the above criteria in comparison to existing conditions.
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.
As this proposal does not involve any exterior change to the existing Treetops
commercial building, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a
significant negative effect on the above criteria in comparison to existing
conditions. Staff believes this proposed "temporary busrness office" uses will
bring vitality to this currently vacant tenant space. Staff believes that the
temporary nature of lhis request will ensure that the Treetops commercial
building will be returned to its retail/shopping character (as recommended by
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1
zone district) once the construction of the Lionshead Core Hotel construction
has been completed.

C.U.P. for Temporary Office Space on Street Level
Treetops C-'ommercial B ui lding
Decernber 27,2004
Description of Proposed Use
Vail Resort's re-development of thc Core Sitc will neccssitate thc renroval of the
Gondola Building and in doing so the removal of approxirnately xx,xxx square feet of
office space. Ihis existing office space is utilized by VR employees directly related to
the operation of Vail Mountain (admin, snorvmaking, mountain operations, ski school,
marketing, etc.) and as such their offices need to be located proximatc 1o the mountain.
This C.U.P. is for "temporary business offices" in accordance with the reccntly approved
amendncnt to the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zonc district. The proposed office space is to
be located within the existing street levcl of the Treetops Cornmcrcial Building. This
space is currenlly vacant. The total square footage ofthe temporary offtce space is 5,425
square feet.
Zonins Considerations
The proposed use will not involve any changes to the exterior of the building. As such
there are no changes to scluare footage, site coverage, building height, etc.
The proposed use represents a change in use from previously existing retail use to office
use. Retail parking requirements are 2.3 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. and office requirements
are 2.7 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. This change in usc technically results in an increase in
parking reqnirement from l2.5 spaccs to 14.6 spaces, a net increasc of2.1 spaces. The
bulk of the parking requiremcnt for existing officc uses in the Gondola Building is
cunently being met at the North Day lot. This lot will continue to provide parking for the
proposed temporary offices at Treelops.
C.U.P. Revicw Criteria
Thc following criteria are to be used in evaluating a conditional use request:
1. Relationslrip and inrpact of tlre use on developnrcnt objectives of the town.
Responsc
