MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: August 7, 2007
SUBJECT: Update to the Vail Town Council on the current status of the Ever Vail
applications, their review, and the process moving forward.
______________________________________________________________________
I. PURPOSE
The redevelopment of the area known as Ever Vail is an intricate project with
many applications and steps within the development review process. Staff and
the Vail Resorts Development Company have scheduled a work session with the
Vail Town Council in an effort to communicate the current status of the review
process for Ever Vail, located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage
Road West. A presentation to the Vail Town Council will include the review steps
that are completed and the anticipated future steps in the review of the Ever Vail
redevelopment.
At this work session staff will present a schedule that the applicant and staff has
created showing what are believed to be the steps that will occur as the Ever Vail
project moves forward through the entitlement process.
II. NEXT STEPS
The sequence of applications and meetings began with the amendments to the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to include several new parcels and
revise the recommendations for West Lionshead (Ever Vail). At this point in time
applications that will begin to implement the recommendations in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan are being submitted.
The first of these applications will be a request for a major subdivision to combine
and reconfigure the lots comprising Ever Vail. The first step in this application
will be a review of a preliminary plan which will lay the ground work for the
submittal of a final plat at a later date. Review of the preliminary plan will occur
prior to receiving a memorandum of understanding with CDOT regarding the
potential Frontage Road realignment. A review of the final plat will occur
subsequent of this understanding with CDOT as there should be little to no
change required on the subsequent of any approvals granted for the final plat.
The final plat, if approved, will not be recorded until such time as the Frontage
Road is relocated and the transfer of right-of-way is completed upon acceptance
of the new Frontage Road by CDOT.
A request for a rezoning of the lots created by the Ever Vail final plat will occur in
conjunction with the request for review of the final plat. The Commission will be
asked to make a recommendation on the rezoning request; however, as the final
plat cannot be recorded until such time as the Frontage Road right-of-way
2
exchange there cannot be the adoption of an ordinance by Council to effect the
rezoning on the lots until the final plat is recorded, thus creating the lots.
It is anticipated that the requests for review of a preliminary plan and a
recommendation for rezoning the two lots created by the preliminary plan/final
plat will occur at the August 27, 2007, Planning and Environmental Commission.
After review of the major subdivision and rezoning requests, applications will be
submitted for conditional use permits and major exterior alterations to review the
establishment of a parking structure(s) and ski lift within Ever Vail. These will be
the first structures to be reviewed within Ever Vail and will include the facility to
house the mountain operations equipment currently located on the Maintenance
Yard and Holy Cross sites. It is anticipated that review of these applications will
occur in the coming months, prior to the end of the year.
Subsequent to the applications for the parking structure(s) and ski lift, major
exterior alteration applications will be submitted for the mixed-use structures that
will comprise the remainder of the Ever Vail.
