Date: October 4, 2011
Subject: First reading of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 2011, an ordinance repealing and reenacting
Special Development District No. 29, The Valley Phase II, pursuant to Section 12-9a-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the exchange of the on-site employee housing
unit (EHU) requirement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-13-5, Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code; located at 1460 Buffehr Creek Road,

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING?
The purpose of this hearing is to review and take action
on the first reading of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 2011. The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Special Development District No. 29, The Valley Phase II, to allow the on-site EHU
to be off-site, provided the applicant exchange complies with the EHU exchange program, as may be amended.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND OF THIS APPLICATION?
The background information,
as well as other supporting documentation, can be found in Staff’s memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, found in Attachment B of this memorandum.
WHAT DID THE
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMEND?
The Planning and Environmental Commission recommended approval of this SDD amendment at their September 26, 2011 hearing, with the following
condition:
“The approval of a major amendment to SDD No. 29 is contingent upon the approval of an employee housing unit transfer in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-13-5,
Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code.”
Staff believes that because the ordinance is written to accommodate either an on- or off-site EHU, this condition
is not necessary.
