AT TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS AMENDED AGENDA NOTE: Time of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item. 1 • Clarification and potential changes to the Town of Vail Employee Nina Timm Housing Guidelines. (45 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Discuss specific issues in the Employee Housing Guidelines and provide staff with direction on changes. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In the course of the past year the housing division has conducted numerous housing lotteries which have illuminated certain issues that need further clarification in the Employee Housing Guidelines. Also, staff has been asked by some members of the community to ask Council to look at changing certain aspects of the Employee Housing Guidelines. 2. A request for a work session for amendments to Title 12, Zoning Dominic Mauriello with respect to Employee Housing Unit Standards, Minimum Lot Size Requirements in the Primary/Secondary and Two-Family Residential Zone Districts and Site Coverage Standards. (45 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Work session - No action requested of Town Council. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On June 15, 1999 the Community Development Department presented to the Town Council some potential revisions to the Town Code having impact on the provision of employee housing in the Town's duplex zone districts, Two-Family Residential and Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential. The Town Council gave staff the direction to move forward with the concepts presented. The PEC provided its final recommendation of approval on the proposed amendments on September 27, 1999. The proposal was also reviewed by the PEC on August 23, 1999 and September 13, 1999. As part of the Vail Tomorrow and Common Ground processes the community stated that the Town needed to improve its incentives for private developers to create Employee Housing Units (EHUs). Staff has identified some areas of the Zoning Regulations that may need to be modified in order to ensure that the Zoning Regulations are truly "promoting" employee housing rather than acting more as a disincentive. The intent of presenting this is to gauge whether the Town Council agrees that there may be areas that need to be addressed in the code and if staff should work to resolve these issues. The following is a list of what we believe to be disincentives to providing EHUs: • Requiring garage space for an EHU, where code does not require garage space for other dwelling units • Restricting the sale of a Type I and Type II EHU and requiring that it be a rental property I • Taking away the right to do a "250" on older homes if an EHU GRFA credit is used • Not allowing enough site coverage to build the EHU on smaller lots • Not providing GRFA credits for multiple-family EHUs (Type III) • Counting Type III EHUs as an impact on density Please refer to.the memo in your packet for a detailed analysis. RECOMMENDATION: None provided as this is a work session. 3. Review of Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1999, an ordinance Allison Ochs disconnecting those properties as outlined in the exchange agreement between the Town of Vail and the United States Forest Service as adopted and approved in Resolution No.3, Series of 1997. (15 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1999, that is on for first reading at this evening's meeting. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In February of 1997, the Town of Vail entered into an agreement with the United States Forest Service to exchange certain properties in and around the Town of Vail. This Exchange Agreement, as adopted in Resolution No. 3, Series of 1997, required the Town of Vail to de-annex these properties to fulfill the terms of the Exchange Agreement.

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: This is the second supplemental appropriation for 1999. The majority of these proposed supplementals were presented with the second quarter financial report and discussed with the council at the August 24, 1999 work session. We have shaded the line items that have been added since the last meeting. There is a net reduction in total budgeted expenditures due to the reduction of $1.9 million in capital protects. 6. Discussion of Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, an ordinance George Ruther amending Chapter 7, Section 12, Public Accommodation Zone Tom Braun District, Chapter 2, Section 12 Definition and Chapter 10, Section 12 of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations to allow for text amendments to the development standards prescribed for the Public Accommodation Zone District; providing definitions of "Fractional Fee Club Unit", "Lodge", and "Substantial Off-site Impact"; revising the parking requirement calculation for a fractional fee club unit; and setting forth details in regard thereto. A draft copy of Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, has been attached for reference. (20 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, scheduled for second reading at this evening's meeting. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On Monday, June 28, 1999, the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed text amendments to the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, pursuant to Chapter 3, Section 12 of the Town Code. The Planning & Environmental Commission's recommendation of approval was based upon the review of the proposed amendments outlined in the staff memorandum and input and testimony taken during the public hearing process. Having reviewed the amendments, the Commission found, "that the proposed development standards further the development objectives of the Town, that the proposed development standards are in keeping with the purpose and intent of the Public Accommodation Zone District, and that the interests of the community are being met by the adoption and implementation of the proposed development standards and the revised development review process." 7. Temporary Use of the Vacated VRD Space at the Vail Public Pam Brandmeyer Library (15 mins.) BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In researching housing possibilities for the 11 seasonal bus drivers to whom we have offered winter positions, staff reviewed town-owned vacant space(s). This pertains to use for the upcoming 1999-2000 ski season only. Although Bright Horizons was considered, it was thought more prudent to look at a space that didn't have any potential time constraints as proposed through the Community Facilities Plan, e.g., conversion of Bright Horizons into a Community Room to replace the current library space. What follows are estimates of what it would cost to convert the VRD space: 1. Add shower to restroom. Remove mop sink and add new shower stall. $1600 2. Add kitchen sink to outside corner of restroom, including cabinets. $1650 3. Install electric range w/microwave overhead next to sink/include electrical. $1450 4. Install refrigerator. $1000 5. Add smoke detectors @ $50/room $ 300 6. Other carpentry work to include replacing two doors, 3 blinds, remove wall, remove ceiling light. $1100 f 7. Rent furniture $40/month/room. $1200 8. Clean carpet. $ 900 TOTAL $9200 The Vail Library is zoned GU (General Use) so a conditional use would be required. We will file an application to put our conditional use permit application on the October 25th PEC agenda. The five bedrooms would be rented at $350-$400/month/bedroom. At five months (rather than six based on our experience): 5 bedrooms X $350/month X 5 months = $8750 RENTAL REVENUE 5 bedrooms X $400/month X 5 months = $10,000 RENTAL REVENUE The TOV Employee Committee will meet to set the rental rate based on comparable rentals throughout the valley and direction from the Council. 8.
