Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan
STREET EDGE
Buildings in the Village Core should form a strong but irregular edge to the street.
Consistent with the desire for intimate pedestrian scale, placement of portions of a building at or near the
property line is allowed and encouraged to give strong definition to the pedestrian streets.
This is not to imply continuous building frontage along the property line. A strong street edge is important
for continuity, but perfectly aligned facades over too long a distance tends to be monotonous.
With only a few exceptions in the Village, slightly irregular facade lines, building jogs, and landscape
areas, give life to the street and visual interest for pedestrian travel.
Where buildings jog to create activity pockets, other elements can be used to continue the street edge:
low planter walls; arcades; tree planting; raised decks; raised sidewalks; texture changes; in ground
surface.
Overhangs
G& us "roof overhangs are also an established architectural feature in the Village -.a traditional
ex ression of seer in a pine environments. Roof overhangs typically range from 3 to 6 eel ^ on IT
edges. pecific design consi eration s ou be given to protection of pedestrian ways adjacent to
._.buildings. Tee falls, snow slides, and runoff hazards can be reduced by roof orientation, gutters, arcades,
etc.
Overhang details are treated with varying degrees of ornamentation. Structural elements such as roof
beams are expressed beneath the overhangs, simply or decoratively carved. The roof fascia is thick and
wide, giving a substantial edge to the roof.
FACADES
Materials
Stucco, brick, wood (and glass) are the primary building materials found in the Village. While not wishing
to restrict design freedom over -much, existing conditions show that within this small range of materials -
much variation and individuality are possible while preserving a basic harmony. Too many diverse
materials weaken the continuity and repetition, which unifies the streetscape.
Of the above materials, stucco is the most consistently used material. Most of the buildings in the Village
exhibit some stucco, and there are virtually no areas where stucco is .entirely absent. It is intended to
preserve the dominance of stucco -by its -use in portions, at least, of all new facades, and by assuring that
other materials are not used to the exclusion of stucco in any sub -area within the Village.
Color
The intent of these regulations regarding color shall be to provide greater latitude in the use of color in
Vail Village in order to create visual interest and to enliven the area. Colors used should retain a
discernible consistency within a general range of colors relating well to the colors found in the
surrounding mountain backdrop of Vail, but need not be specifically found in that environment.
All colors used shall relate to the colors of the natural materials found on the buildings like wood tones,
slate roof colors, stone colors and the like. Additionally all building colors shall work with the colors of the
buildings in proximity as well as with all natural landscape materials found nearby.
While there is no restriction per se on specific hues, primary colors of high chroma shall not be used on
building surfaces but can be used in a limited fashion for accents. Body colors, both siding and stucco,
shall be rich and lively but must be less chromatic shades, which relate to natural colors and can be either
light or dark. All stucco shall have a flat finish
Generally, to avoid both "busyness ", and weak visual interest, the variety of major wall colors (and
materials — excluding glass) should not exceed four nor be less than two.
A color /material change between the ground floor and the upper floors is a common and effective
reinforcement of the pedestrian scale of the street.
High chroma colors can be used for signage, accents, doors, canopies, wall graphics and other similar
elements as long as they do not dominate either the building they are used on, the adjacent buildings, or
the streetscape (see E. Accent Elements).
The color schemes for all properties shall be considered on a case -by -case basis.
Transparency
Pedestrian scale is created in many ways, but a major factor is the openness, attractiveness, and
generally public character of the ground floor facade of adjacent buildings. Transparent store fronts are
"people attractors ", opaque or solid walls are more private, imply "do not approach ".
On pedestrian- oriented streets such as in the Village, ground floor commercial facades are
proportionately more transparent than upper floors. Upper floors are typically more residential, private
and thus less open.
As a measure of transparency, the most characteristic and successful ground floor facades range from
55% to 70% of the total length of the commercial facade. Upper floors are often the converse 30 % -45%
transparent.
Examples of transparency
(lineal feet of glass to lineal feet
of facade) on ground level:
- Covered Bridge Bldg. 58%
- Pepi's Sports 71%
- Gasthof Gramshammer 48%
- The Lodge 66%
- Golden Peak House 62%
- Casino Building — fi nle.O(Al\ 30%
- Gorsuch Building �V 51
WINDOWS
In addition to the general degree of transparency,
window details are an important source of
pedestrian scale - giving elements.
The size and shape of windows are often a
response to the function of the street adjacent. For
close -up, casual pedestrian viewing windows are
typically sized to human -sized dimensions and
characteristics of human vision. (Large glass -wall
storefronts suggest uninterrupted viewing, as from a
moving car. The sense of intimate pedestrian scale is
diminished.) Ground floor display windows are typically
raised slightly 18 feet f and do not extend much over 8
feet above the walkway level. Ground floors which are
noticeably above or below grade are exceptions.
The articulation of the window itself is still another
element in giving pedestrian scale (human - related dimensions). Glass areas are usually subdivided to
express individual window elements - and are further subdivided by mullions into small panes - which is
responsible for much of the old -world charm of the Village.
Similarly, windows are most often clustered in banks, juxtaposed with plain wall surfaces to give a
pleasing rhythm. Horizontal repetition of single window elements, especially over long distances, should
be avoided.
Large single pane windows occur in the Village, and provide some contrast, as long as they are generally
consistent in form with other windows. Long continuous glass is out of character.
Bay, bow and box windows are common window details, which further variety and massing to facades -
and are encouraged.
Reflective glass, plastic panes, and aluminum or other metal frames are not consistent in the Village and
should be avoided. Metal -clad or plastic clad wood frames,. having the appearance of painted wood
have been used successfully and are acceptable. i 1

over International Wing with maximum of 3 stories. Impacts on views to the mountain from
Eaton Plaza should be minimized and a plaza with greenspace area included. Commercial
development on ground level to reinforce pedestrian activity and provide a sense of enclosure

Re: One Vail Place/ Vail Sports Commercial Addition DRB Conceptual Review
244 Wall Street/ Lot 2, Block 5C, Vail Village 1St Filing
Dear Paul,
am writing to provide a summary of the comments from the August 20, 2008 Design Review
Board meeting on the conceptual review of the commercial addition at One Vail Place. Please
address these comments in your final submittal:
• The DRB members suggested that the storefront needed more texture, with a
stepped fagade in some locations.
• As a means of creating more variation in fapade, members suggested the use of
bay windows, displays, bumpouts, etc.
• A prominent entry was suggested, something that provides an entry point to the
village. One DRB member suggested a large corner arcade for the entry.
• Provide a deeper roof overhang or some lower pedestrian level canopies or
awnings.
• Instead of bringing diagonal siding from above down to the street level, all members
agreed that the sage colored vertical siding on Billabong should be carried across
the street level.
• Two members suggested that the rock match existing, or that all rock be replaced
with a new type of stone. Another suggestion included leaving off the stone on this
addition until the Billabong space is remodeled, at which time both stores would add
a new stone kickplate.
Please note that employee housing mitigation will be required for this type of addition. In the case
of such a small addition, a fee -in -lieu may be appropriate. For further information on employee
housing mitigation, please contact Nina Timm, the Town of Vail Housing Coordinator, at (970)479-
2144. If you have any questions related to the final approval process, or your application, do not
hesitate to call or email me.
