Vail Club House Re-Development
July 2017
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the proposed re-development of
the Ski and Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV) Clubhouse. Information provided herein has
been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Town of Vail development review
process for re-zonings and Conditional Use Permits.
The re-development of the Clubhouse involves the demolition of the existing Ski Club
building and construction of a new building and related site improvements. The main
features of the re-development include expanded Club space for SSCV, below grade
parking, greatly enhanced drive aisle/drop-off facilities, two residential condominiums,
and improved landscaping and related site improvements.
Rezoning, subdivision, Development Plan and CUP applications were approved for this
project in 2014. Each of these applications were unanimously approved by the PEC and
Town Council (rezoning). While SSCV completed construction drawings and initiated
the building permit review process with the Town, the project was not constructed and
rezoning and CUP approvals lapsed in October of 2016. Development Plan and
subdivision approvals remain valid today.
Two development applications have been submitted to re-establish development
approvals:
• Re-zoning of land added to the SSCV parcel, and
• Conditional Use Permit.
With the exception of minor refinements to plans in response to comments/review by
town staff, the plans submitted herein are the same as plans reviewed and approved in
2014. There have been no significant changes to the neighborhood or area surrounding
the subject property and there have been no changes to any relevant element of the
Town’s Comprehensive Plan. As such, the proposed project that was deemed appropriate
in 2014 remains appropriate today.
A comprehensive explanation of the project and the proposals compliance with re-zoning
and CUP review criteria are described in greater detail below. Information provided in
this report is presented in the following six sections:

2. Traffic Analysis Letter
This application has been submitted on behalf of the Ski and Snowboard Club Vail and
Vail Resorts. Vail Resorts is providing land that will be incorporated into the existing
SSCV parcel in order to more effectively facilitate the proposed redevelopment. While
the subdivision of this land has been reviewed and approved by the Town, the VR land
has not yet been conveyed SSCV. As such, Vail Resorts has provided a letter authorizing
SSCV to proceed through the Town’s review process with these development
applications.
A site plan of the proposed redevelopment is found on the following page.

II. OVERVIEW of SSCV and PROJECT BACKGROUND
Founded in 1962, the mission of the Club is to provide youth the opportunity for
character growth and excellence through athletics. The Club is widely recognized as one
of the premier ski and snowboard clubs in the Country and this past year was named the
“USSA Club of the year” by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Associations (USSA). Ski
and Snowboard Club Vail serves approximately 600 members in a variety of alpine
racing, free-skiing, freestyle, Nordic and snowboarding programs. The Club is a 501(c)3
non-profit charitable organization.
The Club is also highly respected throughout the Valley as a leader in youth
development. Originally a small club dedicated to ski racing, SSCV has evolved into one
of our community’s largest organizations dedicated to serving our youth. In doing so the
influence of the Club has grown to include a wide range of topics, all of which make
significant contributions to the Vail community.
The Kids
The Club has had unparalleled success in developing snow-sport athletes who have gone
on to excel on an international stage. The most recognizable among these are Lindsey
Vonn and Mikaela Shriffin, but not to be overlooked are the achievements of Toby
Dawson, Chris Del Bosco, Sarah Schleper and many other athletes. Over the past few
years many Club athletes have been named to the U.S. Ski Team, notable among them
are a number of local, “home grown” athletes born and raised here in Eagle County.
Athletic achievements are important; however the underlying purpose of the Club in
serving our youth is to use athletics to instill the “3 C’s” of courage, character and
commitment, to help kids develop life lessons that will help them in the years to come.
The Community
The Club utilizes its staff, athletes and parents to volunteer in a variety of community
events throughout the year. Most notable among these is the Birds of Prey at Beaver
Creek. Each year the Club provides on average 4,000 hours of volunteer help to this
event. The presence of Club volunteers is also found at the Community Fund Rummage
Sale, the Copper Triangle and many other community events.
The Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy
In the fall of 2007 Ski and Snowboard Club Vail partnered with the Eagle County School
District to establish the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy. Located in Minturn at Maloit
Park, the Academy is a fully accredited and certified public school with the goal of
providing its students with a rigorous academic curriculum while supporting a world
class training and competition schedule. From 31 students in its first year, the Academy
has grown to over 175 students.
Economic Impact
The Club’s programs and the visitors they draw to Vail generate significant economic
activity throughout the community. Foremost among these is the early season training at
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 5
Golden Peak. Over the past few years Golden Peak has evolved into one of the world’s
premier early season race training facilities. Each fall for a five week period the Club
typically hosts 20 ski clubs, 10 colleges and 20 national ski teams, most of which on
average spend a week in Vail. The economic impact of this activity is enormous,
particularly when occurring in November, a time of year that is historically very quiet.
Throughout the ski season SSCV also hosts a number of races and other events. On
average 40 race/event days are planned and many of them are multi-day events. The
economic impact of these and other events is significant.
Existing SSCV Facilities and Operations
The Club currently operates from a 6,500SF building located at the base of Vail
Mountain. This building was originally constructed in the mid-70’s and a second floor
was added in the mid-80’s. In the 70’s the Club was serving just over 100 athletes.
Today approximately 600 athletes utilize the Clubhouse (note that nordic athletes do not
typically use the Clubhouse). The space constraints within the existing facility are severe
and the building is certainly showing its age. The need to expand and update the
Clubhouse is acute. Creating a facility that meets the needs of Club athletes and coaches
is the driving factor behind this redevelopment proposal.
The existing Club building plays an important role in how SSCV operates at Vail
Mountain. The building’s primary purpose is to provide space for athletes and coaches to
gather before and after race and training days. In essence, the building serves as the
Club’s portal to Vail Mountain. The building also provides space, albeit very limited, for
athlete locker rooms, ski tuning, coaches work areas and other club-related uses. Each of
these uses will be provided in the new build, although the space dedicated to these uses
will be expanded significantly.
Project Planning
Going back as far as the 1990’s, previous efforts have been made to redevelop the
Clubhouse. The effort that has resulted in this development proposal was initiated three
years ago. During this time SSCV has worked closely with a number of different players.
Town of Vail
In 2012 the Town of Vail approved re-zoning of the SSCV parcel to Ski
Base/Recreation 2. This re-zoning has laid the groundwork for this effort by
defining both development standards and a review process for the project.
Vail Resorts
SSCV has worked closely with Vail Resorts on the land to be conveyed to the
Club and to also ensure that the design of the project is coordinated with VR’s
mountain operations.
Neighborhood Outreach
The Club has taken steps to engage the neighborhood over the past few years. A
number of community open houses have been held and the Club has reached out
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 6
individually to numerous property owners and homeowner associations in the
Golden Peak neighborhood. These efforts have resulted in a wide range of
support for the project.
Golden Peak Neighborhood Traffic Task Force
The Club has been an active participate in neighborhood efforts to address traffic
congestion on Vail Valley Drive. Working closely with the Town, Vail Resorts
and other property owners, SSCV has initiated a variety of efforts to improve
weekend athlete drop-off/pick-up. These efforts are described in greater detail
below.
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 7
III. PROJECT SITE CONDITIONS
SSCV’s existing parcel fronts directly on Vail Valley Drive and backs directly onto the
snowfield that leads to Vail Mountain. Albeit small in size (.265 acres, or 11,543 SF),
the parcel’s relationship to Vail Mountain makes it ideally located for the Club’s needs.
Access to the parcel is provided via a one-way loop access drive. The drive functions in
a counter-clockwise direction. This road and surface parking (on the east side of the
project) are located on Vail Resorts property. SSCV has the right to use this land for
parking and access via a license agreement with Vail Resorts.
A survey of existing site conditions is found in the plan set that has been provided under
separate cover.
As a part of this re-development project the SSCV parcel will be increased in size by the
conveyance of a .258 ac. (11,238 SF) parcel from Vail Resorts. This new land area
essentially wraps three sides of the SSCV parcel. With the addition of this land the
SSCV parcel will be .523 acres, or 22,828 SF.
A vicinity map/site context diagram is below.
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 8
IV. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Originally four development applications were submitted for the project:
Minor Subdivision Application – this application will subdivide +/-11,238SF of
land from Vail Resorts adjoining Golden Peak parcel and incorporate it into the
SSCV parcel. The Vail Resorts land essentially “wraps” the SSCV on three sides
and will increase the size of the SSCV parcel to +/-22,828SF.
Re-zoning application – The Vail Resorts land to be incorporated into the SSCV
parcel is currently zoned Ski Base/Recreation 1 (the zoning of the larger, +/-40
acre “Golden Peak” base area). This application will re-zone the land to be
subdivided and incorporated into the SSCV parcel to Ski Base/Rec 2 so that the
entire SSCV parcel has the same zoning.
Development Permit Application – This application addresses design,
development standards and other development review-related considerations of
the proposed building.
Conditional Use Permit – The Town has historically defined the use of SSCV to
be a “public or private club”. This use is a Conditional Use in the Ski
Base/Recreation 2 zone district. This application evaluates the suitability of this
use.
Each of these four applications were unanimously approved by the PEC and Town
Council (rezoning) in 2014. The Development Plan and subdivision approvals remain
valid today. Approval of the rezoning and CUP are needed to re-establish development
approvals.
Below is a description of the proposed project. The project’s conformance with
applicable review criteria for rezoning and CUP applications is found in Section V. of
this report.
Proposed Building
The primary purpose of this redevelopment is to upgrade SSCV facilities to better serve
the Club’s athletes. The current Club facility is woefully inadequate and extremely
under-sized. The expansion is not intended to facilitate future growth of the Club, but
rather for the building to “catch up” to the Club’s current needs. The two residential
condominiums on the upper levels of the building are the “economic engine” that will
fund the re-development project.
The current Clubhouse is approximately 6,500 square feet in size. Uses in the existing
building include athlete rooms, administration and coach’s offices, meeting rooms, a
multi-purpose room, locker rooms, storage, weight room, ski tuning, circulation and
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 9
restrooms. The new Clubhouse essentially includes these same uses, albeit within +/-
20,750SF.
A summary of the uses proposed in the new building include:
Team Rooms
The proposed building will provide nearly six times more space dedicated to
athlete team rooms (locker rooms).
Weight Room/Gym
Over 1,000SF of gym space will be provided for athlete warm-up and cool-
downs.
Club Room
The Club Room serves two purposes - space for registration and meetings during
races and other competitions and space for athletes to gather for lunch, etc. on
training days. The new club room is 2,200SF, nearly three times the size of the
existing room. The use of this space will be consistent with how it has been used
in the past, albeit in a far more efficient and effective manner.
Meeting Rooms
The existing building has one small meeting room of approximately 180 SF. This
room is typically used for staff/coaches meetings and athlete/coach meetings.
One meeting room is woefully inadequate in satisfying the needs of the Club. A
board room and a number of smaller meeting rooms will be provided in the new
building.
Ski/Board/Tech Services
Space for athlete’s equipment tuning and other tech services will more than
double to approximately 1,200SF.
Storage
Athlete equipment and Club storage areas will more than triple in size to over
1,500 SF. A key benefit of this increased space is that race gates, netting and
other race gear currently stored outside will now be stored inside the building.
Coaches and Administrative Staff Work Areas
The existing building has extremely limited work space for coaches and Club
staff. These limitations are so extreme that many coaches literally do not have
space to work while at the Club. The new building will remedy this situation with
a number of new offices and shared workstations.
Circulation and Misc Space
Hallways, stairwells, restrooms, mechanical space, trash rooms, etc. will increase
significantly. These uses are critical to how the building will function and
comprise a significant amount of the proposed buildings total square footage.
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 10
Employee Housing Units
Two on-site employee housing units are proposed – a 458SF studio unit and a
613SF one-bedroom unit.
Parking Garage
The below grade parking garage will provide 24 parking spaces (including two
accessible spaces) along with circulation and storage areas. Five of the 24 spaces
will be allocated to the two residential condominiums; the remaining 19 spaces
will be used by the Club.
Residential Condominiums
A total of 9,996SF of residential condominium space is located on the upper
levels of the building. Two units are proposed. Each will have elevator access
from the below grade garage and independent stair access from street level.
Landscaping and Site Design
The proposed redevelopment includes many significant site and landscape improvements.
These include:
Landscaping
Significant enhancements to landscaping around the building and along Vail Valley
Drive are proposed. Additional landscape materials will also be provided on the
neighboring Manor Vail property.
Surface Parking
The amount of surface parking will be reduced from 7 to 5 spaces. The existing asphalt
parking lot will be replaced with a brick paver surface.
Drive Aisle
The drive aisle will be improved by widening and by installation of a snow-melt system.
These changes are proposed to provide the facilities necessary to improve drop-off and
pick-up operation (discussed in greater detail above). The entire drive aisle surface will
be brick pavers.
Trash
The exiting “free-standing” trash area will be replaced with a new trash enclosure
incorporated into the east end of the new building.
Recreation Path
The recreation path located behind the existing building will be re-located as a function
of the re-development project.
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 11
Development Standards
For each of the standards listed below, Town Code stipulates that standards are to be “as
per the approved development plan” and/or as determined by the PEC:
Gross Residential Floor Area
The two residential condominiums on the upper two floors of the building include
+/-9,996 SF of GRFA.
Setbacks
Front – 26’ from face of building, 0’ from porte cochere
Side – 4.5’ on west, 1.5’ on east
Rear – 27’
Site Coverage
The footprint of the building (including the porte cochere) and portions of the
building that are below grade total 17,936SF, or 78% of the site area.
Landscaping
Landscape area is +/-3,592 SF, or 15.7% of the total site area.
Parking
5 surface spaces (via the License Agreement with Vail Resorts) will be
maintained and 24 new enclosed spaces will be provided on the lowest level of
the new building. The 29 proposed parking spaces will be allocated as follows:
• 5 structured spaces will be assigned to the two condominiums
• 24 spaces will be used by the Club (19 structured and 5 surface spaces)
Further discussion of parking is provided below.
The following development standards are prescriptive:
Building Height
Maximum allowable height is 43’. Main ridge of building is proposed to be 42’.
The main dormer on north side of building is proposed to be at 42’. All other roof
elements are below the maximum allowable height.
Density
.523 acres of total site area allow for up to 4 dwelling units (8 units per acre are
permitted in SBR2). Two dwelling units are proposed.
Snow Storage
The drive aisle is +/-9,800 SF. 10% snow storage is required (note that the drive
will be heated). 980 SF of snow storage is provided.
Diagrams depicting building height, site coverage, setbacks, landscaping, and snow
storage have been provided under separate cover.

Traffic and Athlete Drop-off
A traffic analysis letter addressing the proposed re-development has been prepared by
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Given that the only new use proposed by the re-
development of the Clubhouse is the introduction of two residential condominiums and
two employee housing units, the focus the traffic analysis letter was on existing traffic
conditions and methods for how the Club can improve athlete pick up and drop off to
minimize impacts to Vail Valley Drive.
Traffic counts were made at five locations along Vail Valley Drive during the a.m. (8:00-
9:30) and p.m. (2:30-4:00) peak periods on March 15th, 2014. This date was determined
to be an “average” day at the Club with respect to the number of athletes training at
Golden Peak. Key findings of these traffic counts include:
• The destination of east bound traffic in the a.m. peak period was equally split
between SSCV (26.4%), Golden Peak (24.6%), the Children’s Ski Center (23.7%)
and “other destinations” (25.3% - either surrounding residential development or
pass-thru traffic).
• “Other destinations” (34.4%, surrounding residential development or pass-thru
traffic) was the predominant destination of east bound p.m. peak period traffic.
SSCV was the lowest at 18.8%.
• There was a total of 399 a.m. peak period trips, of which 84% was east bound and
16% was west bound.
• SSCV generated a total of 107 trips in the a.m. peak hour, of which 17% arrived
from the east and 83% from the west.
• During the p.m. peak period, 51% of westbound traffic was generated by pass-
thru traffic or surrounding residential development.
• Vail Valley Drive has a design capacity of about 1,800 vehicles per hour. Traffic
counts indicate 689 vehicles per hour, utilizing only 38% of available capacity.
• Level of Service (LOS) at SSCV access points operates at LOS “A”.
Traffic operations, specifically morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up, at SSCV
were also evaluated. The following recommendations were provided and where relevant
the Club’s response to these recommendations is provided.
• It was suggested that the Club reverse the flow of traffic to a clock-wise direction.
The traffic analysis recommended not reversing flow for two reasons – this
change would create a conflict between traffic entering and exiting the site (i.e.
exiting traffic would “cross paths” with Club traffic on Vail Valley Drive,
slowing down the flow of cars through Club drop-off), and athletes exiting a car
from the passenger side of a car would be forced to cross in front of their vehicle,
causing delays and creating a safety consideration. The Club is not proposing
any change to the direction that traffic accesses the site.
• Encouraging SSCV members to access the Club from the east (via Vail Valley
Drive and the Golf Course Bridge). This past year the Club began a program to
encourage members to access the Club from the east.
• Assign staff to manage drop-off operations. Last year the Club implemented this
program. Staff members direct traffic to ensure efficient use of available space,
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 13
prevent parents from leaving their cars during drop-off, help unload athlete gear,
etc.
• Provide additional space, ski racks, etc. for athletes to gather in front of the Club
after being dropped off. Currently there is little room for athletes and their
equipment once they are dropped off. The proposed plans for the Club include
significantly more sidewalk/gathering area, ski racks and seating.
• Provide mountain access more centrally located to the Club. The proposed
building includes a new portal to the mountain in the center of the building.
• Stagger start times of various club programs. The Club currently staggers start
times to disperse the times athletes arrive at the Club and will continue to do so.
Based on programs implemented by the Club over the course of the past few years,
significant improvements have been made to drop-off and pick-up operations on weekend
days (specifically Saturday). The Club is committed to continuing these programs.
The proposed building and access drive were designed specifically to further improve the
efficiency of drop-off operations. Foremost among these improvements are the expanded
space for athletes to gather in front of the Club and the upgraded drive aisle. The
proposed access drive will provide three 10’8” wide lanes over 160’. The new drive will
be heated, meaning the full width of the drive will be maintained throughout the winter
(currently snowpack reduces the width and functionality of the drive throughout the
winter).
Refer to the Traffic Analysis Letter in the appendix of this report for additional
information.
Parking
The SSCV Clubhouse is a unique land use, one that is not specifically addressed by
Section 12-10-10 Parking Requirements Schedule of the Town Code. In such cases
parking requirements are to be determined by the Planning and Environmental
Commission. To determine the appropriate amount of parking for the Club it is
important to understand how parking (and drop-off) has been addressed by the Club and
by the Town in the past 40-plus years the Club has been operating at Golden Peak.
The initial development of the Club occurred in the mid-1970’s. In 1976 the Planning
and Environmental Commission approved a CUP for the Clubhouse and at that time did
not require any parking, stating “we feel additional parking in this location is not
appropriate” (quote taken from a November 8, 1999 staff memo). In the mid-80’s a
second floor was added to the building and at that time no significant changes were
required to parking.
The 1976 CUP approval (with no on-site parking requirement) set the stage for the future
operation of the Club – specifically, that emphasis should be on the drop-off/pick-up of
athletes and the concept of having limited on-site parking. It could be speculated that the
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 14
PEC’s rationale for the Club providing limited parking was driven by a few key
considerations:
• The site’s limited area made it very difficult to create on-site parking,
• The success of Club operations is far more dependent upon effective athlete drop-
off/pick-up than it is on-site parking,
• Parking need is limited to the winter months only and during the winter parking
demand is isolated to weekend days, and
• Minimizing the amount of on-site parking at the Club will serve to reduce traffic
within the neighborhood.
These considerations remain relevant today. For more than a decade SSCV has been
operating with the existing drop-off/pick-up drive aisle and 7 on-site parking spaces
(while approximately 10 diagonal parking spaces can be utilized within the drive aisle,
these spaces are only available when drop-off and pick-up is not taking place and as such
are not considered on-site spaces). In essence, this existing condition has “by default”
established the Club’s current parking requirement and in doing so has furthered the
approach established by the 1976 PEC approval of having limited on-site parking.
The parking situation at the Club “works” because the majority of Club activity is from
athletes who are dropped off and picked up. On-site parking is not necessary for athletes.
The Club allocates their limited on-site parking for shared use by key staff and coaches
and limited visitor parking. Like many employees in Vail Village and Lionshead who do
not have access to on-site parking at their workplace, Club coaches utilize car-pooling,
remote lots (Ford Park and Soccer field), transit to get to the Club.
The Club has functioned for many years with essentially just 7 on-site parking spaces.
With the proposed re-development, surface spaces will be reduced to 5 and 19 Club
spaces will be provided in a below grade parking structure. These 24 parking spaces will
allow the Club to provide parking for over three times the number of employees and
visitor than has occurred in the past.
Based on the above, it is proposed that the PEC establish the required parking for the
SSCV Clubhouse redevelopment to be 24 parking spaces. Coupled with enhancements to
athlete drop-off facilities, this additional parking will put the Club in a solid position to
effectively manage traffic operations in a manner that minimizes neighborhood impacts.
Employee Housing
The analysis below addresses both Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning and
constitutes the “employee housing plan” for the project.
Inclusionary Zoning Requirement
Section 12-24-2 Employee Housing Requirements establishes a mitigation rate of 10% of
the total new GRFA proposed by a project. +/-9,996 square feet of GRFA are proposed
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 15
by this re-development, resulting in an inclusionary employee housing requirement of
1,000 SF. 50% of this requirement must be provided on-site.
Commercial Linkage Requirement
As per section 12-23-4, employee housing mitigation requirements for a re-development
project are based on new employee generation resulting from the net increase in floor
area of the project. Employee generation resulting from increased square footage is
based on rates prescribed by the Code. Town staff has deemed the SSCV use to be a
“health club” and the housing requirement for the “Club portion” of the project is
assessed at a rate of .96 employees per 1,000SF of net new floor area.
The existing building is 6,369SF. The proposed Club space in the new building is
20,177SF, a difference of 13,808SF. These figures are based on the Town’s definition of
“net” floor area. This increase in square footage equates to 13.25 employees of which
20% must be provided with housing. The Commercial Linkage housing requirement is
2.65 employees. 50% of this requirement must be provided on-site.
Employee Housing Mitigation Plan
A combination of on-site and off-site mitigation is proposed to address the requirements
outlined above:
On-Site Mitigation
On-site mitigation will be provided via a 548SF studio unit and a 613SF one-
bedroom unit. The location and size of these units are depicted on the floor plans
for the proposed project.
The 548SF unit satisfies the 50% on-site requirement for Inclusionary Zoning.
An employee housing “balance” of 452SF remains for the inclusionary
requirement. The 613SF one-bedroom unit provides housing for 1.75 employees
(based on town standards). An employee housing “balance” of .90 employees
remains for the linkage requirement.
Off-Site Mitigation
Off-site mitigation will be provided with the purchase and deed restriction of an
existing dwelling unit with in the Town of Vail. A two-bedroom unit of
approximately 800SF is expected to be sufficient to satisfy the remaining
mitigation for both inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage. This is based on
the Town’s standards for the size of employee housing units.
As outlined by the town code, the off-site unit will be purchased and deed restricted prior
to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the project.

V. CONFORMANCE WITH APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA
Below is a summary of how the proposed project conforms to applicable review criteria
for re-zoning and CUP applications.
Re-Zoning
The existing SSCV parcel was re-zoned to Ski Base/Recreation 2 (SB/R-2) in 2012. The
new land to be incorporated into the SSCV parcel is currently zoned Ski Base/Recreation
1. This land is proposed to be rezoned to Ski Base/Recreation 2 (SB/R-2) so that the
entire SSCV parcel is governed by one zone district.
There are only slight differences between SB/R-1 and SB/R-2 zone districts. Most
notably of these difference is with respect to allowable density. SB/R-2 allows for up to
8 dwelling units per acre. With this additional land area a total of 4 dwelling units on the
SSCV site is permissible by zoning. The proposed re-development includes only two
residential units – the same number of units permissible by the SB/R-2 zoning on SSCV’s
existing parcel (i.e. the increased site area to be re-zoned to SB/R-2 has not been used to
increase the density of the project).
A legal description of the area to be re-zoned is found in appendix.
Re-zoning review criteria
The following review criteria are to be considered in the review of a re-zoning request:
(1) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all 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;
Response
The Vail Village Master Plan and the Vail Land Use Plan are the two most
relevant master plan documents to consider relative to the proposed re-zoning.
Each of these documents includes a wide array of goals, objectives and policies
along with other elements to be considered in reviewing a re-zoning proposal.
The following is a summary of these two plans:
Vail Village Master Plan (VVMP) was adopted 1990 and updated in 2006 and
2009. The land use plan component of the VVMP includes a “Ski
Base/Recreation” designation. This area is located at the base of Vail Mountain
in the Golden Peak area and immediately adjacent to Vail Village and the
designation is intended to provide for the facilities and services inherent to the
operation of a ski area. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to
encourage a safe, convenient, and aesthetically-pleasing transition between the
ski mountain and surrounding land use categories. The range of uses and

activities appropriate in the Ski Base/Recreation land use category may include
skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restrooms,
ticket sales, clubs, public plazas, outdoor cultural/art events and sports venue,
open spaces, parking and loading/delivery facilities, and residential, retail, and
restaurant uses.
Given the subject property was zoned Ski Base/Recreation prior to the adoption of
the VVMP, it is a reasonable assumption to acknowledge the relevance of this
land use category when considering this proposed re-zoning.
Vail Land Use Plan (adopted 1986, updated 2009)
The most pertinent goal from this Plan is 1.3 – “the quality of development should
be maintained and upgraded whenever possible”. The purpose of this re-zoning
request is to have one zone district on the entire SSCV parcel and to establish a
“workable” zoning and development review process that will allow the Club to
propose the upgrading of existing facilities.
The subject property is designated “SB-Ski Base” on the Land Use Map. This
category is described as:
“Ski base areas are designated at the main mountain portals found within
the Town. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to encourage a
safe, convenient and aesthetically pleasing transition between the ski
mountain and surrounding land use categories. The range of uses and
activities appropriate in the Ski Base (SB) land use category may include
skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public
restrooms, ticket sales, clubs, public plazas, open spaces, parking and
loading/delivery facilities, and residential, retail, and restaurant uses”.
The proposed re-zoning to Ski Base/Recreation 2 is consistent with this land use
category.
(2) The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing
and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding
land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents;
Response
Given the proposed use of the site and its proximity to Vail Mountain, the
proposed zoning is suitable for both the existing use of the subject property and
the potential future use of the property, and both existing and future uses are
compatible with surrounding land uses. This finding is clearly evident when
considering the very minor changes in proposed zoning when compared to the
properties existing zoning. Potential future uses are also consistent with the
town’s adopted master plans.

Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 18
(3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives;
Response
The existing Ski Base/Recreation zoning has been in place on the property for
many years. The proposed zoning to Ski Base/Recreation 2 would result in very
few material changes as compared to the existing zoning and will provide a
“harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses”. As such the
proposed re-zoning is consistent with this criterion. Further, the underlying
purpose of the zone district is to ensure “compatibility”. Compatibility will be
ensured by the zone district’s requirement for review of a development plan prior
to any site development.
(4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an
orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment
serves the best interests of the community as a whole; and
Response
One of the stated purposes of the SB/R 2 district is “. . . to ensure compatibility
with adjacent land uses, all permitted uses, development and activity within the
zone district shall be subject to approval of a comprehensive development plan in
accordance with the provisions of this article”. The requirement for all
development within the SB/R 2 district to obtain approval of a development plan
would inherently provide a system to ensure “orderly growth of our community”.
“Spot zoning” is generally considered applying zoning to a single (often small-
sized) property without consideration the community’s broader context. By the
same token, courts have upheld re-zoning of single properties (regardless of size)
if the re-zoning is consistent with a communities land use objectives and relevant
community plans. Given the proposed re-zonings conformance with applicable
community plans, this request would not be considered “spot zoning”.
(5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or
beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to,
water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and
other desirable natural features;
Response
The proposed re-zoning would not result in an adverse impact on any of the
considerations listed above.
(6) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district;
Response
The stated purpose of the Ski Base/Recreation 2 district is:
The Ski Base/Recreation 2 district is intended to provide sites for
facilities, activities and uses necessary for and appurtenant to the
operation of a ski mountain. A variety of other facilities, uses and
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 19
activities, including, but not limited to, residential, public and
semipublic uses and special community events typically associated
with a vibrant resort community are also permitted within the zone
district. The ski base/recreation 2 district is intended to ensure
adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to
permitted and conditional uses throughout the zone district. In
order to achieve this objective and to ensure compatibility with
adjacent land uses, all permitted uses, development and activity
within the zone district shall be subject to approval of a
comprehensive development plan in accordance with the
provisions of this article. Furthermore, due to the likelihood of this
district being located at the base of Vail Mountain, and upon some
of the most critical and important lands to the future success and
resort character of the town, development within this district shall
be evaluated based upon its ability to meet the specific purposes of
this title and to provide "compelling public benefits which further
the public interests" that go beyond any economic benefits to the
landowner. (Ord. 29(2005) § 25: Ord. 4(2003) § 1)
The existing and planned uses of the subject site are consistent with “uses and
activities, including, but not limited to, residential, public and semipublic uses
and special community events typically associated with a vibrant resort
community”. The proposed amendment is consistent with the purpose of the SB/R
2 zone district.
(7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how
conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property
was adopted and is no longer appropriate;
Response
This is not necessarily a case where “conditions have changed” so much as it is a
situation where the re-zoning is necessary to provide one single zone district to
regulate the future development of the SSCV parcel.
(8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed rezoning.
Response
To be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Town
Council.
The diagram below depicts the area to be re-zoned.

Conditional Use Permit
The Town has historically considered the SSCV use as a “private and public club”. This
use is permissible in the SB/R-2 zone district. Over the years the Town has approved a
number of Conditional Use Permits for SSCV. Re-development of the building
necessitates issuance of an amended CUP for the project.
Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed CUP the following:
(1) Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make
the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity.
Response
The nature of the proposed use and measures to ensure the project’s compatibility
are outlined above in section IV of this report. This property has been used by the
Club for over forty years. This alone demonstrates the compatibility of this use
with other properties in the vicinity. Enhancement to athlete pick up/drop off
facilities, the redevelopment of the building and other site/landscape
improvements will re-enforce SSCV’s compatibility with other properties in the
vicinity.
(2) The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town.
Response
Ski and Snowboard Club Vail
Rezoning and CUP Applications Page 21
Re-zoning criteria #1 (see above) provides a comprehensive assessment of how
the proposal conforms to the town’s comprehensive plan and overall development
objectives.
(3) The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public
facilities and public facility needs.
Response
The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on any of the factors listed
above.
(4) The 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 streets and parking area.
Response
Athlete pick-up and drop-off on weekend days during the ski season impact traffic
conditions on Vail Valley Drive. Significant steps have been taken by the Club
(and Vail Resorts) over the past few years to minimize the impact of weekend
traffic and the results of these efforts has been widely regarded as very positive.
The proposed re-development includes many steps to further improve the Club’s
ability to manage pick-up and drop-off. Foremost among these is widening the
drive aisle to the Club (to provide more space to facilitate loading/unloading) and
to snowmelt this surface (to ensure that the width of the drop-off area does not
diminish from snow buildup). A host of management strategies (both new
initiatives and existing programs) are also proposed (refer to Section IV.) to
ensure that the club does not adversely impact traffic flow on Vail Valley Drive.
(5) The 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.
Response
The proposed building is designed within the maximum building height permitted
by the SB/R-2 zone district. It should be noted that the allowable height of the
SB/R-2 zone district is less than the building height permitted by zoning on
properties surrounding SSCV. As such, the proposed building is very much in
keeping with the scale and bulk of surrounding uses.

Re:Ski & Snowboard Club Vail
Traffic Analysis Letter
Dear Mr. Radamus:
This letter has been prepared providing the results of our traffic analysis for the
existing Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV) located at 598 Vail Valley Drive in Vail,
Colorado. The purpose of the traffic analysis is to review the existing traffic
conditions at SSCV and the surrounding Golden Peak neighborhood as well as to
evaluate possible modifications to the existing site or traffic and drop-off
management plan to improve the SSCV’s current traffic operations and mitigate
queuing at the entrance access point.
The impetus for this traffic analysis is SSCV’s plans to redevelop their clubhouse.
It is our understanding that this redevelopment will expand facilities to meet the
current needs of SSCV and is not intended to result in significant increases to club
membership. While redevelopment of the building is to include two new
residential condominiums, these units are not expected to result in an
appreciable increase of trips generated by the club. As such, this analysis focuses
on existing traffic conditions and methods for improvement traffic flow at the
Club.
A vicinity map showing the location of the SSCV has been provided in the
attached Figure 1. Regional access to SSCV is provided by Interstate 70 and
primary access is provided by South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. Direct
access to the property is provided via two access drives along Vail Valley Drive.
The westernmost access drive is an entrance only and the easternmost drive is an
exit only.
The SSCV site is located east of both the Gold Peak Base Lodge (and public drop-
off area) and the Golden Peak Children’s Center. Residential areas exist to the
north and east of the SSCV site.

Existing Conditions/Data Collection
Existing peak hour turning movement counts were conducted at the following
five key intersections on Saturday, March 15, 2014, from 8:00 am to 9:30 am and
2:30 pm to 4:00 pm:
·Hanson Ranch Road and Vail Valley Drive
·Gold Peak & Vail Valley Drive
·Golden Peak Children’s Center Southeast Access and Vail Valley
Drive
·Ski & Snowboard Club Vail West Access and Vail Valley Drive
·Ski & Snowboard Club Vail East Access and Vail Valley Drive
The counts were obtained during the morning and afternoon peak hours in 15-
minute intervals. The turning movement counts are shown in the attached Figure
2.
The SSCV’s drop-off area was also video recorded on Saturday, March 15, 2014,
from 8:00 am to 9:30 am and 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm to allow for an analysis of
SSCV’s current traffic and drop-off management plan. These times coincide with
the peak pick-up and drop-off times at the club. Traffic to and from the club
varies from weekend to weekend depending upon team schedules (i.e. how many
athletes are in Vail training and how many are out of town competing at events).
March 15th was considered a “typical” weekend.
Traffic Analysis
The existing traffic volume along Vail Valley Drive was analyzed. Based on the
traffic volume data collected, the percentage of eastbound through traffic at the
Vail Valley Drive/Hanson Ranch Road intersection whose destination was SSCV
was calculated and is provided in Table 1. In addition, the traffic destined for the
Golden Peak Drop-Off and Golden Peak Children’s Center was also calculated to
provide an overall comparison for traffic traveling along Vail Valley Drive. This is
also provided in Table 1.

PM 71 vph / 25.7% 58 vph / 21.0% 52 vph / 18.8% 95 vph / 34.4%
The percentage of eastbound entering traffic at the Vail Valley Drive/Hanson
Ranch Road intersection destined to the SSCV in the morning peak hour is 26.4
percent and 18.8 percent in the afternoon peak hour. This is comparable to both
the Golden Peak Drop-off and Golden Peak Children’s Center facilities directly
west of SSCV. Therefore, all three of these drop-off areas were found to
Mr. Aldo Radamus,
April 28, 2014, Page 3
contribute equally to the eastbound volume along Vail Valley Drive. The SSCV had
a slightly higher percentage of eastbound traffic during the morning peak hour
than the other two drop-off areas. During the afternoon peak hour, the SSCV
had the lowest percentage of traffic volumes generated compared with the
Golden Peak and Golden Peak Children’s Center pick-up zones. The percentage of
“other” eastbound traffic (pass through traffic or traffic to surrounding
residential development) is roughly a fourth of the volume in the morning peak
hour and over a third of the volume in the afternoon peak hour.
The percentage of westbound traffic destined for SSCV, Golden Peak Drop-Off,
and Golden Peak Children’s Center was also calculated to provide an overall
comparison for westbound traffic traveling along Vail Valley Drive. This is
provided in Table 2.

PM 16 vph / 20.0% 10 vph / 12.5% 13 vph / 16.3% 41 vph / 51.3%
The percentage of westbound entering traffic at the Vail Valley Drive/SSCV East
Access intersection destined to the SSCV in the morning peak hour is 29.0 percent
and 16.3 percent in the afternoon peak hour. For the morning peak hour, SSCV’s
destination percentage is comparable to both the Golden Peak Drop-off and the
overall percentage of westbound vehicles whose destination was other than
those counted. Golden Peak Children’s Center had the lowest percentage of
westbound traffic in the morning and afternoon peak hours compared the other
two drop off areas. The SSCV had a lower percentage of westbound traffic during
the afternoon peak hour. During the afternoon peak hour, 51.3 percent of the
westbound Vail Valley Drive traffic has a destination other than the three drop-
off areas (pass through traffic or traffic to surrounding residential development).
It was observed that Vail Valley Drive had a traffic volume of 689 vehicles per
hour (both directions) north of Hanson Ranch Road. A two-lane roadway has a
capacity of about 1,800 vehicles per hour. Based on this, existing Vail Valley Drive
has plenty of reserve traffic capacity available, operating at approximately 38
percent of capacity.
An analysis of traffic operations at the SSCV’s East Exit Only Access/Vail Valley
Drive intersection was conducted to determine if there were capacity deficiencies
in its existing condition. Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of Level of
Service (LOS). LOS for the stop controlled intersection was calculated using
Synchro 8 Software using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology.
Table 3 provides the results of the LOS analysis at this existing intersection and
calculations for the LOS at the intersection are attached. The northbound

approach movement (traffic exiting from SSCV) operates at an acceptable LOS A
during both the morning and afternoon peak hours.

Discussion of Proposed Traffic Operations Improvement Measures
It is understood that there have been several possible improvements
recommended to assist with the on-site queuing for SSCV. These are addressed
below.
Reversing the direction of entering and exiting traffic at the existing driveways has
been suggested as a means for improving flow. In this scenario, the western
access would be modified to serve exiting traffic and the eastern access would be
modified to serve entering traffic. Traffic volumes from this operation are shown
in attached Figure 3. To evaluate this proposed change, a capacity analysis was
conducted assuming the reverse in flow for the northbound approach movement
at the SSCV’s West Access/Vail Valley Drive intersection.Table 4 provides the
results of the LOS analysis at this intersection and calculations for the LOS at the
intersection are attached. The northbound approach movement (traffic exiting
from SSCV) operates at an acceptable LOS in both the morning and afternoon
peak hours, but there is a slightly longer delay for exiting traffic. The northbound
exiting approach degrades to LOS B during the morning peak hour.

While this measure would increase the separation between the SSCV entrance
access drive and other access drives west of the SSCV facility, this modification is
not recommended. It creates a conflict between the traffic entering and exiting
the site. Currently, traffic entering from the east and exiting to the west does not
cross paths. It is operationally not ideal to create a traffic pattern where exiting
vehicles from SSCV have longer delay from the entering SSCV traffic volume along
Vail Valley Drive. In addition, this would mean then that drop-offs and pick-ups
would primarily occur from the passenger side away from the building and access
to the mountain. All pedestrians in that case would need to cross in front of
queued vehicles, likely causing additional delay.
Mr. Aldo Radamus,
April 28, 2014, Page 5
Encouraging SSCV members to access SSCV from the east has also been proposed
as a possible measure to improve the SSCV’s current traffic operations. While this
measure would increase the amount of traffic on the predominantly residential
portions of Vail Valley Drive east of the SSCV facility, it would benefit the overall
traffic condition along eastbound Vail Valley Drive during the peak hours. Per the
count data, traffic volumes on westbound Vail Valley Drive are significantly less
than the eastbound volumes. Therefore, this is a good traffic solution. However,
there may be other political or perceived negative impacts by rerouting traffic
through the golf course and residential areas to the east.
Video Analysis of Existing Plan
It is understood that at times the entering queue of vehicles at SSCV has
extended off-site and into Vail Valley Drive. On Saturday, March 15, 2014, this
did not occur. All entering vehicles and queues were maintained on-site. SSCV
has implemented a drop-off and pick-up plan that has improved operations. In
fact, in our observations these operations are working quite well considering the
volume of vehicles and pedestrians that are served during drop-off and pick-up.
For reference, there were 107 vehicles observed dropping off (approximately 1
vehicle every 34 seconds) during the morning peak hour and 65 vehicles picking
up (approximately 1 vehicle every 55 seconds) during the afternoon peak hour.
Through review of the drop-off and pick-up video during the morning and
afternoon peak periods, the following observations were made regarding SSCV’s
current traffic and drop-off management plan:
·SSCV staff (4) wearing orange/yellow vests and red coats assist with
directing traffic and assistance with unloading equipment, gear and
students. This works very well. To improve visibility all staff directing
traffic should continue to wear vests while managing traffic flow.
·Vehicles are directed by staff to the left and right drop-off/pick-up lanes
while maintaining (to the extent possible, acknowledging snow storage
reduces the room available for lanes in the peak of winter) a through lane
in between. The staff direct traffic to keep a balanced queue length in
each left and right side drop-off/pick-up lanes. It appears as though
when there are a lot of pedestrians along the sidewalk and building, the
left queue lane is used first.
·Drivers have the tendency or desire to stop adjacent to the existing
stairway on the west side of the building during both unloading and
pickup time frames for convenience. The staff does their best to direct
traffic to drive further into the site so that the queues stay manageable.
This effort should continue.
·Through emails and other communication, parents who need to spend
time at the club (i.e. do more than just drop off or pick up) are
encouraged to park in the Town’s parking structure. This effort should
continue.
·Drivers are encouraged to stay in their vehicles at all times so they can
move up in the queen as vehicles ahead of them leave. This step is
Mr. Aldo Radamus,
April 28, 2014, Page 6
critically important to the efficiency of the drop-off and pick-up and
should continue.
The following are recommendations for consideration that may improve the
current SSCV traffic and drop-off/pick-up management plan based our
observations:
·Provide one dedicated staff member to remain in the center of the drive,
directing traffic through the entire unloading/pick-up zone during peak
hours. This one person should not provide assistance with ski gear so
that they stay available to direct traffic as necessary.
·When designing the new club building, consider widening the drop-off
area (to ensure three lanes) and the construction of a wider sidewalk
along the curb aisle adjacent to the building. This wider sidewalk area
will better accommodate pedestrian movement. Also, providing ski
racks/equipment storage areas within the sidewalk area will improve
efficiency.
·With a wider sidewalk, it would be beneficial to direct drivers to park use
the right lane first, then to the left when the right drive queue is full.
Pedestrians dropped off and being picked up from vehicles along the left
drive cross the through lane and right drive aisle, causing more delay for
these vehicles. Also, a cleaner and more efficient operation should result
by reducing the vehicle to pedestrian conflicts.
·Relocating the pedestrian drop-off area and access to the mountain to
the east, further up the drive will increase the length of the queue. This
should be considered in the design of the new club building. Providing
amenities such as benches and ski racks will also be beneficial. Continue
to use a staggered start and end time for the training sessions. Based on
the existing drop-off and pick-up times, this is obviously done today. It
was noted that the peak inflow of vehicles occurred every half hour or so,
with lulls occurring in between. SSCV could even consider 15-minute
intervals to spread traffic out even further, which would likely give the
biggest overall traffic improvement.
A few of these recommendations are shown in the following aerial.
