District No. 6; and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Action Requested of Council: Approve/deny/modify Ordinance
No. 2, Series of 1992, on first reading.
Background Rationale: The Planning and Environmental
Commission, at their January 13, 1992, public hearing,

and setting forth details relating thereto.
Action Requested of Council: The Council is requested to
consider and approve Resolution No. 2; Series of 1992.
- Background Rationale: The Smokeless Weekend began as an
effort to raise the public awareness of the pollution caused by
woodsmoke. As public awareness has grown over the years and
continues to grow, it is important to continue to emphasize that
while we are making progress on the air quality front, there is still
room for improvement.
Staff Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 2, Series of
1992.

No. 3, Series of 1992.
Background Rationale: S.B. 101 would change condominiums
from residential to commercial for tax assessment purposes if
used in a rental pool. We fear this would cause many condo
owners to remove them from rental pools creating a lower bed
base and less sales tax.

Action Requested of Council: Review amended Articles of
Association of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
(NWCCOG), which were adopted by the NWCCOG Board of
Directors at their regular meeting in Granby, December 21, 1991.
Background Rationale: These Articles form the basis of the
intergovernmental contract between the Counties of Eagle,
Grand, Jackson, Pitkin, Routt, Summit, and the 26 municipalities
within those Counties, and is a regional planning authority for
purposes listed therein. Amendment of the Articles was
necessary in order to allow member governments to petition the
Executive Committee to appoint alternates, to appoint a non-
voting NWCCOG senior staff member to the Northwest Loan
Fund Board, and to expand the service area of the NLF to
include Rio Blanco County. (See attached resolutions.) The
Articles require that in order for this most recent amendment to
be effective, it be ratified by a majority of the members of
NWCCOG, including the Town of Vail.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 13, 1992
SUBJECT: A request for a major amendment to Phase IV-A of Special Development
District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, 100 East Meadow Drive/Lot O, Block 5-D, Vail
Village First Filing.
Applicant: Josef Staufer
Planner: Mike Mollica
I. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Josef Staufer, owner and operator of the Vail Village Inn, has filed a request for a major
amendment to Special Development District No. 6, for his property located at 100 East
Meadow Drive. The purpose of this SDD amendment is to allow for modifications to the
Phase IV-A portion of the Vail Village Inn SDD. Phase IV-A of SDD No. 6 was approved by
the Town Council on July 16, 1991, through the passage of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1991,
(a copy of which is attached at the end of this memorandum).
The 1991 approved redevelopment plan included the upgrade and renovation of the "Lobby
Building", which currently houses the hotel lobby, the front desk area, and the Coyote Bar, as
well as the adjacent "Pancake House Building" to the west. Included in the redevelopment of
the Lobby Building was the addition of two residential levels above the existing structure,
which were specifically designated as accommodation units (hotel rooms). The final approval
for Phase IV-A consisted of a total of 13 accommodation units, comprising 6,681 square feet
of GRFA, and three employee restricted dwelling units, comprising 946 square feet of GRFA.
The 1991 approval also included a new roof structure for the Pancake House Building, and
painting and/or staining of the building to match the remodeled Lobby Building to the east.
Fourteen additional surface parking spaces were included in the redevelopment plan, as well
as limited landscaping improvements on the hillside adjacent to the South Frontage Road.
The current proposal before the Planning and Environmental Commission Includes the
following requests:
• Conversion of the fourth floor of the Lobby Building to a single, free-market
dwelling unit. The 1991 approval for the fourth floor included three
accommodation units and two employee restricted dwelling units. The
proposed free-market dwelling unit would consist of approximately 2,900 square
feet of additional GRFA.
1
• The conversion of the new third floor of the Pancake House Building, from the
1991 approval of two accommodation units and one employee-restricted
dwelling unit, to 8 accommodation units.
• The conversion of one existing 250 square foot accommodation unit in the Food
and Deli building, and one existing 250 square foot accommodation unit on the
second floor of the Pancake House Building, to "permanently restricted"
employee dwelling units. The employee restriction shall remain in force until
such time as either building is redeveloped.
• The permanent restriction of a Pitkin Creek Park dwelling unit (Unit #7L),
consisting of approximately 800 square feet of GRFA, as employee housing.
This results in 14 accommodation units (net increase), comprising 5,915 sq. ft. of GRFA, and
3 restricted employee dwelling units, comprising approximately 1,300 sq. ft. of GRFA.
II. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
The staff has provided a copy of the June 24, 1991 staff memorandum to the PEC, as well as
a copy of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1991, as background information for this major
amendment to the SDD.

III. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
To maintain simplicity, the following table only outlines the applicant's redevelopment proposal
with regard to Phase IV-A, and specifically compares the 1991 approved SDD with the current
1992 proposal:
Phase IV-A Only
1991 Approved 1992 Proposed
SDD Plan
Number of DUs 0.0 1.0
Number of AUs 13.0 16.0 (Net = 14)
Restricted Employee DUs On-Site 3.0 2.0'
Restricted Employee DUs Off-Site 0.0 1.0..
GRFA - AUs 6,681.0 sq. ft. 5,915.0 sq. ft.
GRFA - DUs 0.0 sq. ft. 2,927.0 sq. ft.
GRFA - Employee DUs 946.0 sq. ft. 1,300.0 sq. ft. (Approx)
Required Parking 16.4 spaces 16.5 spaces
or 17.0 spaces or 17.0 spaces
Notes:
One existing 250 sq. ft. AU in the Food and Deli Building, and one existing 250
square foot AU on the 2nd floor of the Pancake House Building, would each be
converted to a restricted employee dwelling unit. The overall net increase in
AUs for Phase IV-A would be 14, due to this conversion.
" Pitkin Creek Park dwelling unit (approximately 800 sq.ft. of GRFA).
IV. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA
The criteria to be used to evaluate the Vail Village Inn redevelopment, Phase IV-A, are the 9
Special Development District (SDD) development standards set forth in the Special
Development District chapter of the zoning code. The criteria are as follows:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design,
scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
Only minor changes are proposed to the exterior facade of the Lobby Building and the
Pancake House Building with the 1992 proposal. Such minor changes include the
addition of some windows on the north and south elevations. All other architectural
3
modifications, as approved in the 1991 proposal, will remain intact and are as indicated `
on the attached elevation drawings. These changes will result in an upgrade of the
VVI's architectural design. The painting of the Pancake House and the new roof are
designed to match the remodeled Lobby Building. The staff recommends that, as a
part of this redevelopment, the existing trash compactor be adequately screened.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The staff is generally supportive of the applicant's redevelopment plan with regard to
uses, activity and density. The current SDD amendment proposal includes the addition
of 14 accommodation (hotel) rooms and one free-market dwelling unit (located on the
4th floor of the Lobby Building). Although a total of 16 accommodation units (AUs)
would be constructed within this new Phase IV-A, a net of 14 AUs would be the final
result, due to the conversion of 1 AU in the Food and Deli Building and one AU in the
Pancake House Building, to permanently restricted employee dwelling units.
The 1991 approval of the SDD included 3 permanently restricted employee dwelling
units, all to be located on-site. Two of the employee units were to be located on the
4th floor of the Lobby Building, and the third employee unit was to be located on the
new third floor of the Pancake House Building. The current proposal also includes
three permanently restricted employee dwelling units. Two of the units, as mentioned
above, would be provided by the conversion of existing accommodation units to
employee dwelling units. The third restricted employee dwelling unit would be a Pitkin
Creek Park dwelling unit, of approximately 800 square feet, currently owned by Josef
Staufer. The 1992 proposal also contributes more GRFA (1,300 sq. ft.) to the
employee units than the 1991 proposal (946 sq. ft. of GRFA).
It is the staff's position that the applicant's proposal for employee restricted dwelling
units is very positive. Additionally, staff is also supportive of the applicant's request to
add one additional accommodation unit to Phase IV-A and the fact that the mass and
bulk of the project will be unchanged from the 1991 approval. The staff does have a
concern, however, with regard to the applicant's request for a free-market dwelling ,unit.
We are uncomfortable supporting an additional 2,927 square feet of dwelling unit
GRFA, specifically dedicated to a free-market unit. The staff would suggest that the
applicant be required to abide by the restrictions contained in Section 17.26.075
Condominium Conversion, of the Town's zoning code, which includes rental restrictions
and generally provides that condominium units shall be included in the short-term
rental market for certain periods of time (see attachment). This rental restriction was
placed on Unit No. 30, located in the Phase I building of the VVI, when an additional
3,927 square feet of GRFA was granted for the "Goods" retail space conversion to
residential floor area on November 21, 1989. This rental restriction has been
consistently required, by the Town, of previously approved mixed-use projects (SDD's)
of this type. Two additional examples would include the Garden of the Gods project
and the Ramshorn project.
Staff can support the request for additional D.U. GRFA, with the rental restriction,
because we believe there are certain public benefits to be gained by the
4
redevelopment of this Phase of the VVI. Please refer to Section V of this
memorandum for a complete listing of the proposed improvements.
As further explained in the attached June 24, 1991 staff memorandum to the PEC, this
SDD has utilized all its allowable "dwelling unit GRFA." At this time,, the only
remaining GRFA which is available is "accommodation unit GRFA."
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined In Chapter
18.52.
Upon detailed analysis of the Vail Village Inn parking calculations, the staff has
determined that the applicant's 1992 proposal would not require any additional parking
or loading, above the 1991 SDD amendment approval. The overall parking
requirement for this proposal is 17 new parking spaces. The 1991 approved SDD
amendment also requires 17 new parking spaces. However, as approved, the 1991
plan included: 14 new surface parking spaces north of the Pancake House Building;
parking restrictions removed from 8 of the 9 spaces in front of the Food and Deli
building, allowing short-term public parking; 6 surface spaces south of the Vail
Gateway Building; and opening up 65 structured parking spaces (in the Phase III
building) for use by the general public.
D. Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan,
Town policies and Urban Design Plans.
This redevelopment plan for Phase IV-A was analyzed according to the recently
adopted Vail Village Master Plan. The specific goals, objectives and subarea plans of
the Vail Village Master Plan which pertain to the Vail Village Inn project are listed

1.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.2, 4.1, 5.1,
Ilf alit 6.1.
This proposal was reviewed according to the Streetscape Master Plan. However, there
are no specific streetscape concepts which apply to this area of the Vail Village Inn.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect
the property on which the special development district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards which would affect this property and/or
redevelopment proposal.
F. Site Plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive
to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
This SDD amendment request includes no changes to the existing building footprint
and/or the 1991 apps ved redevelopment plan. The proposal will meet the required
20-foot setback from all property lines, as the minimum distance from the porte
cochere to the nearest property line would be 41 feet.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off-site traffic circulation.
Vehicular Circulation:
As addressed in the 1991 SDD amendment, due to the change in use on this
site, a Colorado Department of Highways access permit will need to be
secured, prior to the Town of Vail issuing a building permit for the project.
Pedestrian Circulation:
_ Pedestrian circulation is still a key issue that the staff would like to address.
The staff believes that it is extremely important, both from a functional view
point, as well as one of safety, that the applicant provide a pedestrian
7
connection to the existing sidewalk, located on the Vail Gateway property.
Since the addition of the pedestrian sidewalk along the north boundary of the
Vail Gateway property along the South Frontage Road, there has been an
increase in pedestrian traffic. The staff believes that it is imperative that the
Vail Village Inn provide a connection to this sidewalk so that pedestrians using
the area are not forced to walk through the Vail Gateway planter and onto the
South Frontage Road. A simple connection to the Vail Gateway sidewalk could
include a set of steps with a safety railing, and would be located just south of
-the proposed new planter.
The issue of locating a sidewalk along the full length of the Vail Village Inn
property will not be raised by the staff, as this item was previously reviewed by
the Town Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission in 1991,
and it was determined by those Boards that a condition of approval to add such
a sidewalk was not appropriate at that time.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space In order to optimize
and preserve natural features, recreational, views and function.
As indicated in the 1991 staff memorandum to the PEC, the staff would like to see
additional landscaping added along the entire northern property line of the Vail Village
Inn. The Design Review Board has approved a landscaping plan that includes a total
of 21 potentilla shrubs along the South Frontage Road. Staff would recommend
additional landscaping in the form of three to four clusters of large aspen (2" to 3"
caliper) and spruce (8, 10, 12 foot trees). For comparison purposes, the staff would
suggest a planting design similar to the one recently installed along the South
Frontage Road at the Crossroads project.
1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional
land efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The applicant has proposed that the redevelopment plan for Phase IV-A be completed
at one time. No phasing plan is proposed.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommendation for the proposed major amendment to Special Development District
No. 6, the Vail Village Inn, is for approval with the items below included in the development
plan:
1. That the proposed dwelling unit, to be located on the fourth floor of the Lobby Building,
be restricted according to Section 17.26.075--Condominium Conversion, of the Town of
Vail zoning code.
2. That all three employee dwelling units be provided with full kitchens (refrigerator, stove,
sink, oven or microwave), and that the dwelling units be permanently restricted as
employee units, per Section 18.13.080(B)(10)(b-d) of the Zoning Code.
8
3. That the applicant provide a pedestrian connection, adjacent to the South Frontage
Road, to the Vail Gateway Plaza Building sidewalk. The pedestrian connection shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Design Review Board.
4. That the applicant provide additional landscaping along the northern property line of
the Vail Village Inn, as discussed in Section IV(H) of this staff memorandum.
5. That the applicant provide screening of the existing trash compactor located
immediately to the north of the Pancake House Building. Said screening shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Design Review Board.
After detailed analysis of the applicant's request for this major amendment to Special
Development District No. 6, the staff has concluded that the request for one additional
dwelling unit, plus the 2,927 square feet of GRFA associated with this dwelling unit, Is
warranted for the following reasons:
• The overall mass and bulk of the project, as well as the parking requirement, would not
change from the 1991 approved project. (However, the staff believes that the
proposed dwelling unit.must be restricted according to the condominium conversion
section of the zoning code.)
• The proposed SDD amendment includes one additional accommodation (hotel) unit,
compared to the original proposal, for a total of 14 a.u.'s.
• Three employee restricted dwelling units are still part of the project, however, there is
greater square footage dedicated to the employee units in this proposal than in the
1991 approved project.
• This proposal also includes the complete upgrade of the Lobby Building and the
Pancake House Building.
• Substantial landscaping would be added along the South Frontage Road.
• The applicant has agreed to provide a pedestrian connection to the adjacent Vail
Gateway Plaza Building sidewalk.
• The Vail Village Inn Phase III parking structure would still be opened up for public use.
Sixty-five structured spaces would become available.
• The applicant has agreed to screen and clean up the area of the trash compactor.
• As previously approved, the existing conference facility would be expanded slightly and
improved.
• Both the Lobby Building and the Pancake House Building would be brought into
compliance with the current building and fire codes (completely sprinkled).

lodge, however, shall not be restricted by this
section.
2. A violation of the owner's use restriction by a unit owner
shall subject the owner to a daily assessment rate by the
condominium association of three times a rate considered
to be a reasonable daily rental rate for the unit at the time
of the violation, which assessment when paid shall be
common elements of the condominiums. All sums
assessed against the owner for violation of the owner's
personal use restriction and unpaid shall constitute a lien
for the benefit of the condominium association on that
owner's unit, which lien shall be evidenced by written
notice placed of record in the office of the clerk and
recorder of Eagle County, Colorado, and which may be
collected by foreclosure, on an owner's condominium
unit by the association in like manner as a mortgage or
deed of trust on real property. The condominium associa-
tion's failure to enforcc the owner's personal use restric-
tion shall give the town the right to enforce the restriction
by the assessment and the lien provided for hereunder. If
the town enforces the restriction, the town shall receive
the funds collected as a result of such enforcement. In the
event litigation results from the enforcement of the
restriction, as part of its reward to the prevailing party,
the court shall award such party its court costs together
with reasonable attorney's fees incurred.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: July 16, 1991
SUBJECT: -Vail Village Inn - Second reading of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1991
Since the Town Council's initial review of the Vail Village Inn redevelopment proposal (July 2,
1991), Josef Staufer has made some modifications to the floor plans of the proposed remodel.
At the Council's request, the applicant has added three permanently restricted employee
dwelling units within the project. Two of the employee units would be located on the fourth
floor of the "east" building where the previous plan included two accommodation units in that
area. The floor area of these two employee units would be 250 sq. ft. and 307 sq. ft.
Additionally, a 389 sq. ft. employee unit would be located within the new third floor of the
Pancake House building. To compensate for the loss of the two accommodation units in the
"east" building, and their conversion into employee units, the applicant is proposing two
accommodation units on the third floor of the Pancake House building. These two
accommodation units will be larger than the originally-proposed accommodation units, and
would consist of an additional 748 sq. ft. of GRFA.
The total GRFA for the VVI, including the revised Phase IV-A, would be 85,487 sq. ft. Phase
IV-A of the VVI would consist of a total of 13 accommodation units, comprising 6,681 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and 3 'employee dwelling units, comprising 946 sq. ft. of GRFA.
The additional 748 sq. ft. of accommodation unit GRFA will also require an additional 0.748
parking spaces. The three restricted employee units will have a parking requirement of 1.5
spaces per unit, for a total of 4.5 parking spaces.
Floor plans indicating the revised layout of the accommodation units and the employee
dwelling units will be available at the evening Council meeting. A revised south elevation for
the Pancake House building is attached to this memorandum.

1. INTRODUCTION
Josef Staufer, owner and developer of the Vail Village Inn, has filed a request for an
amendment to Special-Development District No. 6, for'his property located at 100 East
Meadow Drive. The purpose of this SDD amendment is to allow for the redevelopment of a
portion of the final phase (Phase IV) of the Vail Village Inn SDD. For clarification purposes,
staff will call this redevelopment request Phase IV-A.
The Vail Village Inn has an existing approved development plan for the entirety of Phase IV.
This development plan was approved through Ordinance 14, Series of 1987 (May, 1987).
Additionally, Ordinance 24, Series of 1989 (November, 1989), modified the density section of
the 1987 ordinance by increasing the allowable GRFA. These two ordinances are still valid
for SDD No. 6, and have been included as Exhibits A and B attached to this memorandum.
The staff recommends that the PEC review these ordinances to fully understand the
background and prior approvals for the Vail Village Inn before proceeding further in this
memorandum. A brief summary of said ordinances is listed below in Section III of this
memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant's redevelopment proposal includes the upgrade and renovation of the east
building which currently houses the hotel lobby, front desk area, and the Coyote Bar, as well
as the adjacent Pancake House Building to the west. Included in the redevelopment of the
"east" building would be the addition of two residential levels above the existing structure,
which would be used specifically as accommodation units (hotel rooms). There would be a
total of 13 additional accommodation units, comprising 5,933 sq. ft. of GRFA. One
additional gas burning fireplace is proposed in the largest accommodation unit on the top
1
I
floor. An elevator is proposed to be constructed at the southwest comer of the building,
which would access all four floors. Additionally, the existing meeting room which is located
on the second floor, would be expanded to the south by infilling an existing deck. This
additional square footage would consist of approximately 243 sq. ft. of floor area.
The proposed improvements to the Pancake House Building include a new roof structure, and
painting and/or staining the building to match the remodeled building to the east.
It is proposed that the new portions of this building be equipped with an automatic sprinkler
system.
Site improvements called for in this redevelopment plan would include the addition of 14
surface parking spaces. Ten of these parking spaces would be considered regular spaces, and
the remaining four spaces would be classified as valet-type spaces. These valet spaces would
be reserved for exclusive use by employees of the Vail Village Inn, and the location of these
spaces would be to the northwest of the Village Inn Pancake House restaurant and
immediately east of the Gateway Plaza Building.
The proposal also calls for limited landscaping improvements. Specifically, the applicant is
proposing one additional new planter, which would be located on the west side of the main
entrance at the South Frontage Road.
III. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
A. The following are the existing phases of the Vail Village Inn:
Phase I - This consists of the buildings located at the southeast corner of the
VVI property, and includes one dwelling unit of approximately 4,000 sq. ft. in
size, as well as the following commercial establishments: Alpenrose
Restaurant, Ambrosia Restaurant, Village Inn Travel, Village Inn Sports,
Houston Gallery, Gold of Vail, Village Inn Plaza Liquors, Eve's, and Total
Beauty.
Phase II - This phase consists of three residential dwelling units of
approximately 3,500 sq. ft. in size, as well as the following commercial
establishments: International Gallery, Unique Art, and Tezla.
Phase III - Phase III is located at the northeast comer of the VVI property and
consists of 29 residential dwelling units, with approximately 44,830 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and the following commercial establishments: Driscol Gallery,
Velveteen Rabbit, Kitchenworks, Vail Antiques, Annie's and Vail Boot and
Shoe.
2
Phase IV - This was the original Phase, and the oldest, at the VVI, and
consists of 62 accommodation units, with approximately 16,585 sq. ft. of
GRFA, and also includes the Food and Deli, VVI Pancake House and the
Coyote Bar. There is also a 1,200 sq. ft, conference/meeting space and
miscellaneous and ancillary offices for the hotel.
Phase V - Phase V is the building located at the corner of Vail Road and East
Meadow Drive, and consists. of 11 dwelling units (9 of which have lock-offs),
and 3 accommodation units, with 9,972 sq..ft, of GRFA. Phase V also
includes Blano's Pizza, the Vail Resort Association and approximately 3,500
sq. ft. of retail, commercial use.
B. Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1976, originally established the Vail Village Inn
Special Development District No. 6.
C. Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985 (March 5, 1985) granted 120,600 sq. ft. of
GRFA to SDD No. 6. This ordinance also required a minimum of 175
.accommodation units (AUs) and 72,400 sq. ft. of GRFA, devoted entirely to
AUs in Phase IV. This ordinance also listed six conditions of approval.
D. Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987 (May, 1987), amended Phase IV of SDD No.
6. This amendment allowed Phase IV to be broken into two distinct and
separate phases, which were called Phase IV and Phase V. This ordinance also
set the maximum GRFA for the SDD at 120,600 sq. ft. Additionally, the
ordinance required a minimum of 148 AUs and 67,367 sq. ft. of GRFA
devoted to AUs in Phases IV and V. The ordinance also listed eight conditions
of approval.
E. Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1989 (November, 1989) amended the density
section of SDD No. 6. This ordinance modified the SDD by increasing the
allowable GRFA to a total of 124,527 sq. ft. This allowed Unit No. 30
(originally Good's retail) in the Vail Village Plaza Condominiums to be
converted from commercial use to residential use. This space consists of 3,927
sq. ft. of GRFA, and the conversion to residential use has since been
completed. This ordinance also maintained the previous approval for "a
minimum of 148 AUs and 67,367 sq. ft. of GRFA, devoted to AUs, in Phases
IV and V of SDD No. 6."
IV. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
The following table outlines the applicant's redevelopment proposal with reference to the
underlying Public Accommodation zoning, the existing project, the previously approved Phase
IV, and the current proposal. To maintain simplicity, only those development standards

V. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA
The criteria to be used to evaluate the Vail Village Inn redevelopment, Phase IV-A, are the 9
Special Development District (SDD) development standards set forth in the special
development district chapter of the Zoning Code. The criteria are as follows:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design,
scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
Architecturally, the key issue is to maintain compatibility and work with the character
of the existing structures in the vicinity. Staff acknowledges that this is a very
difficult task to perform, given the varied architectural styles of adjacent buildings.
Staff supports the design direction the applicant has proposed for the project. We
believe that the additional two floors and the new roof structure would be compatible
with the character of the adjacent structures. Additionally, the applicant has proposed
to install all new siding materials on the existing lower levels of the structure, which
would match the new upper levels. The applicant has also proposed to install a stucco
finish on the north and west elevations of the pone cochere (around the arched
openings).
Given the close proximity of the VVI Pancake House building immediately to the
west, the applicant has also proposed improvements to this structure so that it blends
architecturally with the adjoining "east" building. The proposed improvements to this
structure include upgrading the entire roof area of the building, to architecturally tie it
in with the proposed remodel of the structure: east. No GRFA would be added
to the enlarged roof area, however, the applican. ° --pose to install a new boiler
in this attic area to service the Food and Deli Bui;.. Mitionally, the applicant
has proposed to paint and/or stain the Pancake House 2>u:Iding to match the "east"
building and to further ensure architectural compatibility among the structures. We
believe it is positive that the applicant is making an effort to upgrade the materials and
the style of the Pancake House Building, as well as the east building.
The staff would recommend that the applicant reevaluate the proposed roof form over
the elevator tower, as well as the roof form over the central chimney caps. We
believe that these elements should be of an architectural style which would be more in
line with the caps on the adjacent structures.
5
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The staff is very supportive of the applicant's redevelopment plan with regard to uses,
activity and density, given the fact that the proposal includes the addition of 13
accommodation (hotel) rooms and an expanded conference space.
The existing commercial square footage (gross area), which includes retail commercial
and restaurant "service area" space, at the VVI is approximately 33,557 square feet.
No additional commercial square footage is requested as a part of this proposal.
With the adoption of the Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study on November 20,
1990, employee housing is no longer a potential concern, but it is an issue which must
be addressed formally. The Affordable Housing Study has been adopted and provides
guidelines for new development. Currently, the report's recommendations are being
incorporated into the Zoning Code. In addition, the Land Use Plan calls for employee
housing by stating:
Goal 5.3 - "Affordable employee housing should be made available through
private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail,
with appropriate restrictions."
Although the Vail Village Inn does provide some employee housing, both on site and
off site, there is currently no permanently restricted employee units on site. No
additional employee housing is proposed by the Vail Village Inn for this
redevelopment. It should also be mentioned that most Special Development Districts
in the past have provided some number of employee housing units within the proposal.
Given the scale of this project, with an approved GRFA of 124,527 sq. ft., the staff
believes a redevelopment of this magnitude should have some permanent employee
housing. Staff recommends one restricted employee dwelling unit be provided on site,
either in the existing development or in the proposed redevelopment, Phase IV-A.
C. Compliance with the parking and loading requirements as outlined in
Chapter 15.52.
The Vail Village Inn parking analysis, as indicated in Appendix A, shows a total
parking requirement for the Vail Village Inn project, which includes Phases I, II, 111,
IV and the proposed IV-A, as being 243 parking spaces. The existing parking
structure, located at the lower levels of the Phase III building, currently provides 109
parking spaces. Additionally, there are currently 45 regular surface-parking spaces (9
of which are privately reserved and are not available to the general public), and 16
6
valet parking spaces on-site, for a total of 61 parking spaces. The applicant is
v proposing to add 14 surface-parking spaces as a part of this proposal. The total
parking which would be provided would be 184 spaces, which equals 75.7% of
the required parking.
The staff believes that the required parking for Phase V. as well as for the new
proposal (Phase IV-A) must be addressed. It should be noted that when the Phase V
building was approved, the parking requirement was deferred until the final phase of
the VVI was constructed (the redevelopment of Phase M. -Ordinance No. 14, Series
of 1987, under Section 11, lists .8 conditions of approval for the development plan for
Phases IV and V. Condition No. 8 reads as follows:
"Any remodel or redevelopment of the remaining portion of SDD 6, commonly
referred to as Phase V, shall include parking as required by Ordinance 1, Series
of 1985."
It is the staff's opinion that this current redevelopment proposal triggers condition
number 8, and that the required parking for Phase V must now be addressed.
According to the staff's calculations of the Phase V building, the parking requirement
for Phase V shall be as follows: (See Appendix B for the specific breakdown)
1. Retail = 11.77 spaces
2: Restaurant = 4.25 spaces
3. Residential = 23.44 spaces
4. Total Requirement = 39.46 spaces
The parking requirement for the proposed Phase IV-A is 11.13 spaces. The
combined parking requirement for Phase IV-A and Phase V is 48 parking spaces
(39.46 spaces ± 11.13 spaces = 50.59 - 5% multi-use credit = 48).
The parking issue is two-fold. First, the staff is of the opinion that condition number
8, listed in Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987 (as stated above) is applicable to this
redevelopment proposal. The Planning Commission, at their June 10th public
worksession, concurred with this opinion. Based upon this PEC decision, the applicant
must now provide, or address the issue of parking for Phase V. The second issue is
the applicant's proposal to provide an additional 14 surface parking spaces, when a
requirement of 48 spaces is stipulated by the code. The applicant has presented a
parking utilization study that analyzed parking during peak times of occupancy. This
study is included as Appendix C.
It should be understood that the 109 space parking structure, located in the Phase III
building, is currently not open and available for use by the general public. In addition,
7
9 surface parking spaces, which are adjacent to 'the Food and Deli Building, are
currently reserved and are also not available for use by the general public. Of the
total 109 parking spaces in the structure, 44 of those spaces are currently deeded to
condominium owners of the Vail Village Inn (15 of those 44 deeded spaces are
deeded to condominium owners within Phase V).
Since the June 10th worksession, the applicant has agreed to remove the parking
restrictions on 8 of the 9 parking spaces in front of the Food and Deli Building.
These eight spaces would be available for short-term parking by the general public, in
addition to the 14 new spaces on the north side of the project. The staff believes that
this is a positive step towards meeting the Town's parking requirements. However,
the staff maintains that the applicant should be required to open up the structured
parking (in the Phase III Building) and to allow the general public the use of the 65
undeeded spaces in the structure. If the structured parking spaces were available to
the general public, the staff would be able to support the overall parking plan at the
VVI.
D. Conformity vvith applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan,
Town policies and Urban Design Plans.
This redevelopment plan was analyzed according to the recently adopted Vail Village
Master Plan. The specific goals, objectives and subarea plans of the Vail Village
Master Plan which pertain to the Vail Village Inn project are listed below:
1.2 Obiective:
Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial

E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect
the property on which the special development district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards which would affect this property and/or
redevelopment proposal.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed
to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
There is essentially no change to the existing building footprint with this proposed
redevelopment. As indicated in Section IV of this memorandum, the setbacks for the
10
underlying PA zone district are 20 feet from all property lines. This proposal will
certainly meet the 20 foot requirement, as the minimum distance from the porte
cochere to the nearest property line would be 41 feet.
There will be no significant changes made to the Vail Village Inn open space
provisions, as only 245 sq. ft. of additional area will be covered by buildings.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing
on and off-site traffic circulation.
Vehicular Circulation: After review of the proposed surface-parking layout, the staff .
believes that the general vehicular circulation system appears adequate. The Town of
Vail Fire Department has reviewed this proposal, and does not take issue with the
project. The Public Works Department also has no problems with the general
vehicular circulation plan. However, they are concerned about some existing drainage
problems in the surface-parking area just north of the Pancake House, which would
need to be corrected and addressed through the building permit process.
Due to the change in use on the site, a Colorado Department of Highways access
permit will need to be secured, prior to the Town issuing a building permit for the
project.
Pedestrian Circulation: Pedestrian circulation is a key issue the staff would like to
address. It is well known that a long-standing goal for Vail is to improve upon the
pedestrian experience through the development of a continuous network of paths and
walkways. Specific to the Vail Village Inn project, the Vail Village Master Plan, as
well as the Town of Vail Recreation Trails Master Plan and the Master Transportation
Plan, specifically call for bicycle/pedestrian ways along both sides of the South
Frontage Road. Through the redevelopment process at the adjacent Gateway Plaza
site, the developer was required to provide a pedestrian sidewalk along the entire
length of the Gateway property along Vail Road and South Frontage Road. At this
time, staff believes it appropriate to request that the developer of the Vail Village Inn
extend the sidewalk where the Gateway ended it, and continue the walk for the full
length of the VVI property east to the Crossroads site. Staff acknowledges that there
are some grade difficulties through this area, and also that cooperation from the '
Colorado Department.of Highways (CDOH) will be necessary. The Town staff is
willing to assist the applicant in securing the necessary CDOH permits to install the
pedestrian connection.
The current Vail Village Inn SDD Amendment proposal, does not include any
improvements to the pedestrian circulation system as described above.
11
o
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize
and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. I
The proposal has provided limited additional landscaping, specifically in the form of
one new planter, which would be located on the west side of the access drive off of
South Frontage Road. The proposed landscaping includes 2 Aspen and 1 Blue Spruce.
Again, with cooperation from the CDOH, staff believes that additional landscaping
added along the entire northern property line of the Vail Village Inn would be
beneficial. We believe additional landscaping and screening in this area would not
only benefit the general public, by assisting in the buffering of the structures from the
Frontage Road and I-70, but will also benefit the property owner and guests of the
VVI in the same manner.
The staff would also recommend that the applicant remove the existing asphalt area
south of the Gateway Building. This area has been used as surface parking, however, .
we believe that it would be a benefit to both projects (VVI and Gateway) to add
landscaping in this area.
The proposal will not encroach into any of the Town's adopted view corridors.
1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional
and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The applicant has proposed that the redevelopment plan (Phase IV-A) be completed at
one time. No phasing plan is proposed.
It is the staff's position that the redevelopment plans for the entire Phase IV, which
are addressed in Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987, are still valid. Should the
developer with to proceed with this previously approved plan at some future date,
which would necessitate the demolition of Phase IV-A, final DRB approval will be
required. If there are changes or modifications to the plans, then a major SDD
amendment will be required.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommendation for the proposed major amendment to Special Development
District No. 6, the Vail Village Inn, is for approval with conditions. The staff believes
that the proposed upgrade and remodel would be a very positive change at the VVI.
We support the project, with the following conditions of approval:
1) That the applicant be required to open up the structured parking, in the Phase
III building, for short-term parking use by the general public. With this
12
provision of an additional 65 parking spaces, the staff would be able to support
the project's overall parking plan.
2) That the applicant remove the existing asphalt parking area immediately south
of the Gateway Plaza Building, and provide landscaping in this area. Final
review of the landscape design shall be reviewed and approved by the DRB
prior to installation.
3) That the applicant provide a pedestrian sidewalk, adjacent to South Frontage
Road, beginning on the west end of the VVI property (where the Gateway
sidewalk now ends), and continue the sidewalk east to the western boundary of
the Crossroads property.
4) That the applicant provide additional landscaping along the entire northern
property line of the VVI.
5) That the applicant reconsider the proposed design solution for the elevator and
chimney caps. This issue shall be further reviewed and considered by the
Design Review Board.
6) That a CDOH access permit be secured prior to the issuance of any Town of
