Planner: Brent Wilson Applicant: The Town of Vail 1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The primary purpose of the Pay-in-Lieu Program has been to create a vehicle-free pedestrianized commercial area within Vail Village and Lionshead. Relevant master plan references include: Obiective 3.2 of the Vail Villaae Master Plan: Minimize the amount of vehicular traffic in the Village to the greatest extent possible. Policv 3.2.1 of the Vail Villaae Master Plan: Vehicular traffic will be eliminated or reduced to absolutely minimal necessary levels in the pedestrianized areas of the Village. Policv 4.6.3 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan: The overriding goal for East Lionshead Circle is to de-emphasize vehicular traffic and create a quality, safe and vibrant pedestrian corridor. On September 26'h, the Town Council discussed the current parking pay-in-lieu program and options for future implementation. The council reviewed on-site/off -site parking maps and directed staff to return with a number of different scenarios for pay-in-lieu implementation. These scenarios are presented under Section II of this memorandum. II. POTENTIAL PAY-IN-LIEU OPTIONS Option A- Maintenance of the Current Pay-in-Lieu Fee ¦ The on-site/off-site maps are amended based on council's previous direction. ¦ The pay-in-lieu fee amount is not altered and the money is still earmarked for debt payment on the municipal parking structures. -I- \\VAIL\DATA\cdev\COUNCILWEMOS\00\PRKNGPIL3.doc TOW*YAIL 1.C ANTICIPATED RESULTS Pay-in-lieu fees would be used to pay off the debt on the existing structures. After the debt has been paid off (within 10 years), the money could be used toy, finance the construction of new public parking. The fees would continue to be paid by those developers/property owners that are not allowed to provide their parking on-site. All properties within affected zone districts would provide required parking, either on-site or via a pay-in-lieu fee. Due to recent revisions in the amount of parking required within the commercial core areas, businesses could expand significantly (30% or more) without any additional pay-in-lieu fee requirements. Option B - Altering the Utilization of the Fee The on-site/off-site maps are amended based on council's previous direction. ¦ The pay-in-lieu fee amount is not altered and the money is earmarked for streetscape or transit improvements within the commercial core areas ANTICIPATED RESULTS This option is derived as a result of complaints that pay-in-lieu dollarsi are not tied directly to the businesses that pay the fees. Pay-in-lieu fees could be used for construction of pedestrian amenities/streetscape improvements or for transit improvements/operations. Although private development already provides streetscape improvements along private property boundaries (through redevelopment), these funds could be dedicated towards large-scale public projects. One example would be a complete resurface/paver treatment along Gore Creek Drive (as illustrated in the Town's Streetscape Master Plan). The pay-in-lieu fees would continue to be paid by those developers/property owners that are not allowed to provide their parking on-site. All properties within affected zone districts would provide required parking, either on-site or via a pay-in-Lieu fee. Due to recent revisions in the amount of parking required within the commercial core areas, businesses could expand significantly (30% or more) without any additional pay-in-lieu fee requirements. Option C - Elimination of the Fee ¦ The on-site/off-site maps are amended based on council's previous direction. i ¦ The pay-in-lieu fee is eliminated. ANTICIPATED RESULTS Private parking requirements would be met through the expenditure of public funds. A lack of dedicated revenues would compromise the ability to construct additional parking in the future. Debt service for the existing structures would be paid through the town's general fund. Some properties within a given zone district would have a parking requirement while other properties in that zone district would not. However, this option could provide additional incentives for redevelopment. i t -z- _ \\V AIL\DATA\cdev\COUNCIL\M EMOS\00\PRKNGPI L3.doc _ 1• e Option D - Amended Fee Structure ¦ The on-site/off-site. maps are amended based on council's previous direction. ¦ A separate fee schedule is adopted based on land use (i.e. residential vs. commercial). ¦ Staff recommends the fees are set based on the anticipated traffic/parking impacts of each land use. ANTICIPATED RESULTS Council would set a fee based on the nature of each land use. As uses change (i.e. a restaurant becomes an office), fees would be adjusted administratively and tracked by staff. Parking requirements for properties in a given zone district would vary depending on location (on-site vs. off-site) and types of use. This revision, coupled with recent revisions in the amount of parking required within the commercial core areas, could result in additional incentives for redevelopment. However, parking requirements are already adjusted by land use/square footage and incentives for certain land uses were granted by the Town Council in March of this year. III. OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION Transferable Parkina Credits - Staff recommends the implementation of a transferable parking credit. The Town Code currently does not allow refunds for parking fee payments. However, staff believes changes in use that reduce the amount of required parking should be accompanied by refunds or credits for parking fees already paid. Mixed On-Site / Off-Site Parking - As discussed on September 26th, master plan documents outline plans for a mixture of on-site and off-site parking for certain properties in Lionshead. Staff recommends a text amendment requiring off-site parking to the extent outlined in applicable master plan documents. IV. RECOMMENDATION Although this is a work session discussion, staff is recommending that the Town Council move forward in the pursuit of either Option A or Option B. Staff's recommendation is based on the following factors: ¦ The Pav-in-Lieu Fee is Alreadv a Subsidv - It is estimated that the current fee amount is about one-half of the construction cost of a structured parking space. This does not include the maintenance and staffing costs associated with the provision of parking at a municipal structure. -3- \\V AIL\DATA\cdev\COUNCIL\MEMOS\00\PRKNGPIL3.doc •a Maior Reductions in Reauired Parkina Alreadv Granted - Due to recent revisions in the amount of parking required within the commercial core areas, businesses can already expand significantly (30% or more) without any additional pay-in-lieu fee requirements. Restaurants in the commercial core areas, for example, can now double their seating area without any new fee requirements. ¦ Eauity of Treatment of Properties in the Same Zone District - Elimination of the fee may constitute a grant of special privilege for some properties when parking.- requirements are not consistent within any one district. ¦ Public Absorption of Private Development Impacts -Although staff acknowledges a significant public benefit derived from redevelopment, major impacts from private development should be borne by private development. This belief is consistent with language in the town's master plans and zoning regulations regarding mitigation of development impacts. Through the current pay-in-lieu fee subsidy and recent revisions to the town's parking requirements, staff believes significant redevelopment incentives have already been achieved.

(Note that the Town leases Town real estate to certain entities for similar uses.) 2. They arc: no greater than one hundred (100) square feet in size. 3. They provide no service other that the sale of food, beverages in a form for immediate consumption or products, only if directly related to the business located on the business private property. They may only provide service and products that is directly.related to that business. 4. They meet all requirements of all health regulations. 5. They do not directly compete with any other contiguous business or a business located within four hundred (400) feet. 6. They may collect monies for payment of the vending services, food, merchandise or goods. 7. They shall be owned and operated by business owners, operators or entities located and licensed within the Town. Even though referred to as Temporary Vendor Cart, the same shall always be designated to one permanent location, excluding special events. 9. They comply with all Town codes and State and Federal statutes, rules, and regulations. 10. They provide a positive impact upon the community, as determined by an evaluation of the application against all relevant policies of the Town code. These will include, but not be limited to, aesthetics, site design, architectural compatibility, European atmosphere of the Town, etc. The matter of Temporary Vendor Cart will be tested during two trial periods to determine the feasibility and compatibility of the same with the Town. The first test period will be during the winter of 2000.2001. The second test will be during the summer of 2001. Thereafter, the Town will complete an analysis and study of the test to evaluate the continuation or termination of the Temporary Vendor Cart.
