Vail Golf Course Club House
Re- zoning Request
April 16, 2012
The purpose of this report is to provide background information and rationale for the proposed
re- zoning of a portion of the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse from Outdoor Recreation (OR) to
General Use (GU) and to amend the Use Section of the OR zone district by adding "golf
courses" as a Conditional Use. The purpose of these applications is to facilitate the expansion
and improvement of the Clubhouse and to address inconsistencies in existing zoning of the golf
course.
The following information is provided below:
• a brief summary of improvement plans for the Clubhouse,
• proposed re- zoning and zone district amendment requests, and
• response to applicable review criteria for the proposed re- zoning and the zone district
amendment.
This application is submitted on behalf of the Public Works Department of the Town of Vail.
Background on Golf Course Club House Improvements
In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to seek voter approval to re- allocate Conference
Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the
approximately $9.4 million on projects that would "increase overall economic vitality"
throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the
potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for
those who live, work and play in Vail.
In the Fall of 2011 voters approved the use of Conference Center funds for three projects — Golf
Course Clubhouse improvements, a Vail Village Visitor's Center and Ford Park improvements.
Specific improvement plans for the Clubhouse are currently under development. Planned
improvements include:
• a new indoor /outdoor events pavilion,
• a new entrance to the pro shop and restaurant,
• updated locker rooms,
• cart barn improvements,
• a new "welcome" area, and
• expanded deck area.
Review of specific improvements for the Clubhouse will be a part of Conditional Use and
Development Plan applications to be provided at some point in the near future. The re- zoning
application provided herein is intended to establish a zoning framework that would allow for the
review of improvements planned for the Clubhouse.
Proposed Re- zoning and Zone District Amendment
Two zoning actions are proposed — an amendment to the Outdoor Recreation Zone District and a
request to rezone land around the Clubhouse area. The following summarizes these requests:
Zoning Amendment to the Outdoor Recreation Zone District
This request is in many respects a "housekeeping" item. Land on which the golf course (driving
range, golf holes, etc.) is located is zoned OR. The purpose of the OR District is to:
"The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open
space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational
activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas .
facilities and uses. "
A golf course would be considered an "active recreation" use and as such would be consistent
with purpose of the OR District. However, "golf courses" is not found on the list of Conditional
Uses in the OR District. The proposed amendment would simply add "golf courses" to the list of
Conditional Uses in the OR Zone District.
Request to re -zone land around the Clubhouse from OR to GU
A portion of the Golf Course Clubhouse area is already zoned GU and remaining portions of the
Clubhouse area are zoned OR. From a practical standpoint the entire Clubhouse area should be
zoned the same district and based on this premise the two most viable zoning alternatives would
be either GU or OR.
The purpose section of the GU District states:
"The general use district is intended to provide sites for public and quasi public
uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately
regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and
for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular
development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes
prescribed in section 12 -1 -2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. The
general use district is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and
certain types of quasi public uses permitted in the district are appropriately
located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to
harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other
structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities
appropriate to the permitted types of uses ".
The GU District would appear to be very well- suited to provide a zoning framework for both
existing and proposed uses for the Clubhouse. This District would also be appropriate for the
Clubhouse given this area's more intensive development (buildings, parking, activity, etc.) when
compared to the remaining areas of the golf course. This is particularly evident when
considering the purpose statement of the OR District which states "the outdoor recreation district
is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development ".
The diagram below depicts the portion of the Clubhouse area that is currently zoning GU and the
new area proposed for GU zoning.

Criteria for Reviewing the Proposed Re- zoning Request
In accordance with the Town Code, the following factors are to be considered by the PEC and
Town Council with respect to the requested zone district amendment. Responses to these factors
focus exclusively on the request to re -zone a portion of the Clubhouse area from OR to GU. The
request to amend the OR District to add "golf courses" as a Conditional Use is considered a
housekeeping item that is consistent with the purpose statement of the OR District and does not
result in any significant change to existing or future uses of this land. As such, a specific
response to each of the eight considerations listed below for this minor zoning code amendment
is deemed to not be necessary.
(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; and
The purpose of the re- zoning request is two -fold — to establish one zone district that encompasses
the entire Clubhouse area and to provide a district that will provide a zoning framework
appropriate for the site, for existing uses and for planned improvements to the Clubhouse.
The Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan both reference the golf
course, the proposed re- zoning is consistent with both of these plans.
The underlying goal of this effort is to improve the Clubhouse such that it will "increase overall
economic vitality" throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase
occupancy, to have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and to
enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. This goal is very consistent
with many of the goals, objectives and policies of the Land Use Plan pertaining to economic
development and guest services.
(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; and
Existing uses of the Clubhouse area are public and quasi - public in nature. The purpose of the
GU district is to provide sites for such uses. Virtually all uses permissible in the GU District are
Conditional Uses, requiring review of a development plan by the PEC. This review is intended
in part to evaluate the suitability of proposed uses to surrounding uses.
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.
(3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives;
and
A portion of the Clubhouse area is already zoned GU. Re- zoning this portion of the Clubhouse
area to GU would create one single zone district that would control future development and land
uses of this area.
(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
The GU Zone District is consistent with the existing recreational uses inherent with the golf
course. The re- zoning would not change this situation. The re- zoning would not constitute a
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;
and
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; and
The stated purpose of the GU district is:
"The general use district is intended to provide sites, or public and quasi public
uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately
regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and
for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular
development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes
prescribed in section 12 -1 -2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. The
general use district is intended to ensure that public buildings andgrounds and
certain types of quasi- public uses permitted in the district are appropriately
located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail to
harmonize with surrounding uses, and in the case of buildings and other
structures to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities
appropriate to the permitted types of uses ".
The existing and planned uses of the subject site are consistent with the purpose of the GU
District.
() 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; and
This is not necessarily a case where "conditions have changed" so much as it is a situation where
the existing condition of the Clubhouse area having two zone districts is not an appropriate
situation. Re- zoning the entire Clubhouse area to GU resolves this situation.
(8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the
proposed rezoning.
To be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Town Council.
