Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Tom Braun Overview of VVMC Master Plan Project Team: Tom Braun Skip Hudson Rex Alexander Reg Franciose, MD Cacey Batterson Wrap-up Tom Braun LAGATTA 2 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Why a Master Plan for VVMC Purpose of the Master Plan How the Master Plan will be used How this Master Plan is unique from others LAGATTA 3 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Internal planning process External considerations Neighborhood and community involvement 7 hearings with PEC 13 Town/Community Objectives LAGATTA 4 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria 13 Town/Community Objectives Provide for a future emergency air ambulance helipad on the hospital site. Provide for adequate on site loading and delivery services which minimizes negative impacts on the neighborhood. Special consideration should be given to relocating this use to gain access to the VVMC Campus from the South Frontage Road. Address emergency vehicle circulation to and from the site. Address patient and employee vehicle circulation with an emphasis on use of the South Frontage Road for primary access. Minimize the number of vehicle trips on West Meadow Drive to improve the pedestrian experience along the street. Provide for pedestrian circulation N/S through the hospital site to connect the South Frontage Road with West Meadow Drive. Reduce the negative impacts of the hospital surface parking lot on the Middle Creek riparian corridor. The hospital use is currently non-conforming with regard to minimum parking requirements.  All future planning should ensure full compliance with the parking requirements. Work with the Town of Vail and neighboring property owners to identify the most appropriate location of vehicle access off of the South Frontage Road.  This shall also take design options into consideration. The Town of Vail is willing to consider design and master plan options which include the use of Lot 10 and the Town's municipal center site. Address the existing zone district designation of the US Bank Building. Provide opportunities for growth and expansion of the VVMC Campus to ensure the growing health care needs of the community are met. Ensure that the mechanical equipment needs of medical center are met on site and seek to minimize any unintended consequences. LAGATTA 5 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria 13 Town/Community Objectives Helipad Delivery and service Vehicular Circulation (ambulances/Meadow Drive/Frontage Road) Pedestrian circulation Middle Creek Parking Frontage Road Improvements Town-o wned land Zoning Future expansion potential Mechanical systems LAGATTA 6 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Vail Land Use Plan addresses VVMC LAGATTA 7 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria What Vail Land Use Plan says about VVMC The transition designation applies to the area between Lionshead and the Vail Village. The activities and site design of this area is aimed at encouraging pedestrian flow through the area and strengthening the connection between the two commercial cores. Appropriate activities include hotels, lodging and other tourist oriented residential units, ancillary retail and restaurant uses, museums, areas of public art, nature exhibits, gardens, pedestrian plazas, and other types of civic and culturally oriented uses, and the adjacent properties to the north. This designation would include the right-of-way of West Meadow Drive and the adjacent properties to the north. LAGATTA 8 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Proposed Amendment Modify Land Use Map New Land Use Category VVMC – Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan Properties addressed by the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan (VMMC MP) are included in this land use category.  The VVMC MP has been adopted to serve as the primary tool in guiding the future development of the Medical Center campus and this plan should be referred to for detailed information on VVMC. The range of uses and activities appropriate in this land use category may include healthcare facilities, professional, medical and business offices, emergency services, emergency helipads, parking and loading/delivery facilities/structures, public utilities, and accessory uses commonly associated with medical centers. LAGATTA 9 Master Plan Process and Review Criteria Land Use Plan and VVMC MP Review Criteria Vail Land Use Plan Amendment Review Criteria To change the Plan by this procedure, it will be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly demonstrate: how conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted, how the Plan is in error, or how the addition, deletion or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general. VVMC MP Master Plan Review Criteria 1. The extent to which the Master Plan furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and 2. The extent to which the master plan would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and 3. The extent to which the master plan demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and 4. The extent to which the master plan provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and LAGATTA 10 Overview of VVMC Master Plan 1 Introduction 2 Background on VVMC 3 Master Planning Process and Master Plan Goals 4 Overview of Expansion Plans and Design Considerations 5 VVMC’s New “Front Door”, Meadow Drive, Loading/Service 6 Traffic/South Frontage Road 7 Parking 8 Helipad 9 Other Considerations 10 Potential Land Exchange with Evergreen Lodge Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan LAGATTA 11 Overview of VVMC Master Plan Traffic/West Meadow Drive/New “Front Door” at South Frontage Road Helipad LAGATTA 12 Traffic – Methodology Traffic counts of existing driveways to determine VVMC trip generation Split traffic into different users (staff, deliveries, patrons, guests) Determined that approx. 1,400 vehicles per day will be taken off W. Meadow Drive and routed to the new VVMC Main Access from Frontage Road – based on traffic counts and relationship to parking space location For Frontage Road traffic, used Town of Vail traffic volumes during peak holiday season (recently updated by TOV in late Dec 2014) Evaluated two different conditions upon VVMC build-out: “Interim” conditions in years 2018-2025 when new front door opens, but prior to full reconstruction of Frontage Road with a new roundabout. “Area Build out” conditions in year 2035 with reconstructed Frontage Road and new roundabout Traffic volumes used in analysis are very conservative. The weekday VVMC peak traffic added to the highest traffic day on winter holiday Frontage Rd. 13 Traffic – VVMC Access & Frontage Road 1 Interim Condition Starting in 2019 VVMC full-movement access about the same location as current TOV full-movement access relocated west to align with VVMC Access 14 Traffic – VVMC Access & Frontage Road 1 Interim Condition Starting in 2018 Overall Intersection LOS = B Frontage Road – Maximum Queue = 3 vehicles (VVMC inbound left turn) – will not block Frontage Road traffic TOV Access Outbound – Ave Delay = 14 seconds, Max Queue = 3 vehicles VVMC Access Outbound – Ave Delay = 12 seconds, Max Queue = 4 vehicles Contingency Plan if necessary – reconfigure median opening and VVMC access to prohibit outbound left turns – traffic would make right turn and U-Turn at existing roundabout to head west 15 Traffic – VVMC Access & Frontage Road 2 Area Build Out Condition – Assuming 2035 Must be done for benefit of all driveways as Frontage Road Traffic grows New Roundabout to service Evergreen & provide U-turn movements All driveways restricted to right-in, right-out turns Safest – has the lowest crash potential of all options evaluated Good Traffic Operations with LOS C worse case 16 Traffic – W. Meadow Dr. & Vail Rd Intersection Highest traffic volume condition will be after west side of VVMC is reconstructed and east side is under construction – 69 existing parking spaces at US Bank Building must be accessed from W. Meadow. VVMC traffic will increase during this period – Year 2017 11% higher that current in morning peak traffic period 8% higher than current in afternoon peak traffic period Good overall traffic operations = LOS B, considering high pedestrian volume Maximum Queue on north leg = 5 vehicles 17 Traffic – VVMC Deliveries on W. Meadow Dr. Based on 5 days of 24 hour traffic counts conducted September 29 thru October 3, 2014 A few larger vehicles occasionally deliver to VVMC – special imaging truck and oxygen truck 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 13 Town/Community Objectives On-site emergency helipad Loading and delivery service Emergency vehicle circulation South Frontage Road for primary access Minimize vehicles on West Meadow Drive N/S pedestrian circulation Parking lot on the Middle Creek Full compliance with the parking requirements Vehicle access off of the South Frontage Road   Lot 10 and the Town's municipal center site Address zoning of the US Bank Building Future growth/expansion of the VVMC Campus Mechanical equipment/unintended consequences LAGATTA 30 13 Town/Community Objectives 1.
