Applicant: Vail Corp., represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Tabled to November 14, 2005 MOTION: Jewitt SECOND: Lamb VOTE: 7-0-0 Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Jay Petersen, Tom Braun, and Bob Fitzgerald, representing Vail Resort Development Co., discussed the changes made to the proposal since the Qctober 10, 2005, hearing. The criteria found in Resolution 18, Series of 2004, were addressed in reference to the architectural deviations being requested. In conclusion, it was stated that their team felt the mechanical screening was the best solution and fit the criteria found in Resolution 18, Series of 2004. u Jeff Winston then gave a presentation in which he stated he thought the project was architecturally more interesting with the architectural landmark tower. He further stated that without the architectural landmark tower the mechanical screening solution seemed out of character with the proposed project. There was no public comment. Warren Campbell stated that Gil McNeish, legal council for Vail Spa, was unable to attend but wished to say that he is continuing to work with the applicant and is generally pleased that the.Commission is addressing the concerns of Vail Spa.. The Commissioners generally supported the architecture of the proposed structure. Regarding the proposed'architectural deviations (flat roof area, mechanical screening, and a landmark tower) there were varying thoughts. Several members were comfortable with the mechanical screening solution as it was a good solution by which other developers could aspire, while other members were adamant that the height limitation of 82.5 feet-not be exceeded. In regards to the flat roof area of the building Commissioner Gunion said that if they are setting a precedent, it is a good one. The mechanical screening has been approved in the past over the height limit and she would much rather see this option of screening rather than others. Commissioner Gunion liked the front facade and feels that the tower isn't a bad idea since they are limited to seven landmarks in Lionshead. Page 2 Commissioner Viele thinks the screening is an attempt to cover the flat roof areas, and will stick with the letter~of the law found in the Master Plan. Commissioner Bernhardt said the spire, in model form, is very appropriate. He understands the reason to regulate flat roof square footage. Commissioner Bernhardt sees the mechanical screening as a good option within the guidelines. He agrees with Commissioner Gunion that the project exceed the intent of the screening regulation. Commissioner Jewitt agreed with Commissioner Gunion. His concern previously was with the flat roof areas and the appearance it would have. He added that the presentation from last week demonstrated that the flat roofed areas will not be able to be seen from most vantage points. Commissioner Kjesbo said that mechanical screening was too tall, and would be in favor of staying under the 82.5 max. He believed that flat roofed areas were appropriate and that he would be in favor of a proportional tower, which might be slightly higher than 97.5 feet. Commissioner Lamb said he believed the mechanical screening was a good solution and would like to see a tower within the project, but one which was ,not very tall. Commissioner Cahill likes what happened with new changes with the front of the building being much more interesting. The screening, as an architectural element, should be unique. How can it be considered unique? He believed the tower height was appropriate, and that the balcony in the corner helped to break up the building, brings us to pedestrian scale. 4. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-7B-20, Vail Village Urban Design Plan, Vail Town Code, of an amendment to the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, to allow for changes to the Architectural/Landscape Considerations for building colors, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Vail Chamber Business Association, represented by Kaye Ferry Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Forwarded a recommendation of approval with modification MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Viele VOTE: 7-0-0 Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Kaye Ferry spoke on behalf of the Vail Chamber Business Association. Ferry said that in past years she had tried to get staff to amend the Guidelines to increase the color in the Village, however, staff was reluctant to make these changes, so the Chamber chose to apply for the changes themselves. She added that the DRB was very supportive. The motivation behind this application was to bring vibrancy and greater interest to the Village. The core of the Village is not being redeveloped and is not getting a facelift and they fear the Village will get.left behind economically as Lionshead is completed. She concluded by handing out a slightly modified version of the text proposed in the staff memorandum. James Martir from The Color People, representing the applicant, made a presentation showing how additional color schemes in the village will look, changing from the white/beige schemes to a wide range of color. Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Village Homeowner's Association, stated that during a recent trip to Europe he found it to be common in many communities, such as Kitzbuehl, that greater color variation was being implemented. Page 3 John Kemmer, owner of the Toy Store on Bridge Street, stated that he had surveyed some of the building owners in the Village and they are supportive of the changes. Warren Campbell stated that he would suggest several minor changes to the newly proposed text to address concerns of the Design Review Board. The Board was concerned with the language stating colors "shall be rich and lively, but muddied and softened" because they were contradictory (rich and lively vs. muddied and softened). James Martin responded that while some words are used for colors, their other meanings are not the same. Clean colors are pure and bright. Muddied colors are softened and dull. Rich and lively are public adjectives, but muddied and softened are color terms. The Commissioners expressed support for the proposed text amendment and directed staff and the applicant to work on the language to a mutual agreement regarding the changes staff was requesting tobe incorporated into the text. The hearing conclude with a discussion regarding a statement the Design Review Board made in its hearing about the lack of experience with color to assure that the.ability to utilize a wider range of colors would be implemented effectively by the Board. There was discussion that possibly a pallet of ranges of acceptable colors be created to guide decision making and in with some proposals James Martin could be directly consulted at the expense of the applicant. 5. A request for final review of a final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for the subdivision of the Conference Center development site; final review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for a public convention facility and public parking facilities and structures; and final review of architectural deviations, pursuant to Section 8.3.3.A, Review Criteria for Deviations to the Architectural Design Guidelines for New Development, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to allow for a public convention facility and public parking facilities and structures, located at 395 East Lionshead Circle/ Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, Lot 3 and 5, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Pylman 8~ Associates, Inc. Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 14, 2005 MOTION: Jewitt SECOND: Lamb VOTE: 7-0-0 Matt Gennett~gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Rick Pylman, representative of the applicant, gave a presentation on the current status of the conference center. A power point presentation was given regarding the separate applications which were associated with the conference center. John Grgicky ?????, an architect on the project went through the architectural changes that have been made to the plan. Chase Mullin, of Winston and Associates, gave a digital model presentation showing the new architecture. Commissioner Bernhardt asked how much parking was being provided by the monetary contribution from Vail Resorts. Rick Pylman stated that the $4.3 million was constructing approximately 100 spaces. Page 4 Commissioner Jewitt stated that the $4.3 million was for general parking needs in Town not for helping to keep the conference center within the budget. Therefore this project is not complying with the Code for parking requirements. Commissioner Bernhardt stated that he agreed. The Commission asked that Town Council provide direction on whether or not the $4.3 million could be used to offset the parking for the conference center. There were further questions regarding how parking on the Frontage Road would be addressed and how conference would be booked to avoid the peak ski days. Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Village Homeowner's Association, stated that he would like to see the Frontage Road improvements incorporated into the digital model. He continued by stating that there should be no parking on the Frontage .Road in the area where roadway improvements would be made in conjunction with this project. Kaye Ferry added that the operators of the conference center have planned to book the facility everyday they can. There will be a parking problem and hotel shortages on peak days in the winter. The Commission requested a parking management plan be submitted. Commissioner Jewitt is concerned about the loss of more public parking by relocating charter buses, need and info booth in Lionshead, regarding EHU's feels that taking 40 housing units off the market in the community instead constructing new is an issue, concerned with monolithic west elevation. Rick Pylman clarified that the EHU requirements were for 6 units. Commissioner Kjesbo stated that there needs to be a long-term solution for charter bus parking. Concluded with a comment for Town Council. Would like apay-in-lieu program to be established. Commissioners Gunion and Lamb echoed the comments of previous members. Commissioner Viele does not feel the architecture is palatable especially the west elevation. 6.

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, the Vail Chamber Business Association, represented by Kaye Ferry, is proposing to amend the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan to allow for changes to the Architectural/Landscape considerations for building colors. The proposal concerns a portion of the text within the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan which regulates the facade colors used within Vail Village: This amendment is proposed for the purpose of increasing flexibility in design review of color selections for structures within Vail Village. The applicant is proposing to amend the text found within the Urban Design Guide Plan: Vail Village Design Considerations; Architectural/Landscape Considerations; Facades; Colors (pp. 16 - 17) that includes color guidelines for Vail Village. The amendments to the text of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan are indicated in BOLD ITALICS (additions) and t-TA~ICS (deletions).

Colors used should retain a discernible consistency within a general range of colors relating well to the colors found in surrounding mountain backdrop of Vail, but need not be specifically found in that environment. All colors used shall relate to the colors of the natural materials found on the buildings like wood tones, slate roof colors, stone colors and the like. Additionally all building colors shall work with the colors of the buildings in proximity as well as with all natural landscape materials found nearby. While there is no restriction per se on specific hues, primary colors of high chroma shall not be used on building surfaces but can be used in a limited fashion for accents. Body colors, both siding and stucco, shall be rich and lively but must be less chromatic shades which relate to natural colors and can be either light or dark. All stucco shall have a flat finish. Generally to avoid "busyness" and weak visual interest, the variety of major wall colors should not exceed four or to be less than two. A color/material change between the ground floor and the upper floors is a common and effective reinforcement of the pedestrian scale of the street. High chroma colors can be used for signage, accents, doors, canopies, wall graphics and other similar elements as long as they do not dominate either the building they are used on, the adjacent buildings, or the streetscape (see E. Accent Elements). The color schemes for all properties shall be considered on a case by case basis. A copy of the staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, dated October 24; 2005, addressing the review criteria has been attached for reference. II. PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION AND DESING REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS On October 19, 2005, the Design Review Board forwarded a recommendation of approval of the proposed amendment with the following findings to the Vail Town Council, 1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the Town as they will bring vibrancy, activity, and facade improvements into Vail Village, and 2. That the amendments further the general and specific purposes of the. 2 Zoning Regulations (and the adopted plans, such as the Urban Design Guide Plan) as they will enhance and further maintain the established European alpine village character of the Vail Village ;and 3. That the amendments promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

(PEC05-0075) Applicant: Vail Chamber Business Association, represented by Kaye Ferry Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The applicant, the Vail Chamber Business Association, represented by Kaye Ferry, is proposing to amend the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan to allow for changes to the Architectural/Landscape considerations for building colors. In accordance with the support of the Design Review Board, which has reviewed the proposal on two separate occasions, and the Criteria and Findings detailed in Section VI of this memorandum, Staff is recommending that the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval of this request to the Town Council as it will further the purpose and intent of the Guide Plan. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, the Vail Chamber Business Association, represented by Kaye Ferry, is proposing to amend the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan to allow for changes to the Architectural/Landscape considerations for building colors. The proposal concerns a portion of the text within the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan which regulates the facade colors used within Vail Village. Attached is a map from the Vail Village Master Plan which depicts the area governed by the Guide Plan (Attachment A). This amendment is proposed for the purpose of increasing flexibility in design review of color selections for structures within Vail Village. The applicant is proposing to amend the text found within the Urban Design Guide Plan: Vail Village Design Considerations; Architectural/Landscape Considerations; Facades; Colors (pp. 16 - 17) that includes color guidelines for Vail Village. The text amendment is proposed as follows, with the existing text designated in italics; the new text designated in bold italics and the text to be deleted designated, in s#~ilEet~et~~-: Attachment: B Color The intent of these regulations regarding color shall be to provide greater latitude in the use of color in the Village, but to still retain a discernible consistency within a general range of .colors, in order to create visual interest and enliven the Village. -Itit"re-+s-great°~ 1.,+:+...J., ;., +h `.

Other Ifglat-colors could be appropriate, as considered on a case-by- case basis. Bright colors (red, orange, blues, maroon, etc.) can be used effectively (with restraint) for decorative trim, wall . graphics, and other accent elements (see E. Accent Elements). While (here is no restriction per se on specific hues, primary colors and colors of high chroma shall not be used on building surfaces but can be used in a limited fashion for accents Generally, to avoid both "busyness'; and weak visual interest, the variety of major wall colors (and materials -excluding glass) should not exceed four nor be less than two. A color/material change between the ground floor and upper floors is a common and effective reinforcement of the pedestrian scale of the street. 111. BACKGROUND The Urban Design Guide Plan was drafted in June of 1980 following a number of public workshops designed to gain input from residents, merchants, public officials and consultants. The result of such workshops was the Guide Plan, which was uniquely written to address the aesthetic and functional aspects of the Village areas. The Guide Plan is divided into two areas of concern: the Gore Creek Drive/Bridge Street area and the East Meadow Drive area, each of which include sub-area concepts which address key focal points (both physical and figurative) of that area. The Plan addresses two primary aspects of development as they relate to the aforementioned areas: "Urban Design Considerations" and "Architectural/Landscape Considerations", the latter of which the applicant 'is proposing to amend. These topics include the following subtopics, each of which are addressed in detail within the Plan: 2 Urban Design Considerations: pedestrianization, vehicle penetration, streetscape framework, street enclosure, street edge, building height and views. Architectural/Landscape Considerations: Roofs (form, pitch, overhangs, composition, stepped roofs, materials, construction); Facades (materials, color, transparency, windows, doors, trim); Balconies (color, size, mass, materials, construction); Decks and Patios; Accenf Elements; Landscape Elements (plant materials, paving, retaining walls, lighting, signage); and Service (materials, construction). The Plan was designed with the anticipation that updates to its ideas were inevitable: According to the Plan's Preface: "It is anticipated that perception of the problems will change over time and that adjustment will be made to the Guide Plan. Those adjustments will be considered on an annual basis, through a process. similar to that which generated the Guide Plan and based on urban design criteria appropriate to Vail." The last time that a revision was made to the Plan was in 1993. On October 19, 2005, the Design Review Board, voted unanimously to forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Council and Planning and Environmental Commission of the proposed text found in this memorandum. The Board made the following findings in association with their recommendation. 1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the Town as they will bring vibrancy, activity, and facade improvements into Vail Village, and 2. That the amendments further the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations (and the adopted plans, such as the Urban Design Guide Plan) as they will enhance and further maintain the established European alpine village character of the Vail Village ;and 3. That the amendments promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality. IV. ROLES OF REVIEWING BODIES Planning and Environmental Commission: Action: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for forwarding a recommendation of approval/approval with conditions/denial to the Town Council of a text amendment. The Planning & Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendment: 3 1.

Revisions: Revisions to the Vail village urban design guide plan and design considerations shall be reviewed by the planning and environmental commission with official action to be taken by the town council by resolution on a semiannual basis to ensure that the plan reflects the purposes and intent for which it has been adopted. The review and action shall take place within thirty (30) days following the public hearing on the applications. Title 14, Section 10, Development Standards Handbook Section 14-10-D-3: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. All exterior wall materials must be continued down to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls. All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be anodized, painted or capable of weathering so as to be non-reflective. Vail Village Design Considerations, Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan (in part) Introduction/Background: (The Plan) is an attempt to identify aspects of the physical character of the Village and to assure as far as possible that future changes will be consistent with the established character, and will make positive 5 contributions to the quality of life. (The Plan was) developed as a mechanism to manage physical change in the Village... This character, while inspired to a degree by European models, has evolved into a distinctly local interpretation. To preserve this character, care must be taken to avoid both new architectural prototypes, and historical ones, local or foreign, which do not share the same design vocabulary. Architecture/Landscape Considerations: detail, details, style and overall appropriateness of a design for a given site. These considerations are reviewed primarily by the Design Review Board (DRB). Below is a general checklist of major issues and concerns which the applicant must address in the course of the review process. Each of the following items should be addressed at least briefly in any application hearing or submittal: 7. Roofs: form, pitch, overhangs, composition, stepped roofs, materials, construction 2. Facades: materials, color, transparency, windows, doors, trim 3. Balconies: color, size, mass, materials, construction 4. Decks and Patios 5. Accent Elements 6. Landscape Elements: plant materials, paving, retaining walls, lighting, signage 7. Service: materials, construction Secondly, the design considerations are intended to serve as guideline design parameters. They are not seen as rigid rules or "cookbook design elements" to bring about a homogeneous appearance in Vail. Rather, they are a statement of interpretation, subscribed to by the Town Planning/Environmental Commission and .Review Board, as to the present physical character and objectives of the Village. They are intended to enable the Town staff and citizen review boards to more clearly communicate to property owners planning and design objectives, and allow property owners in town to respond in general conformance or to clearly demonstrate why departures are warranted. Color: There is greater latitude in the use of color in the Village, but still a discernible consistency within a general range of colors. For wood surfaces, trim or siding, darker color tones are preferred, browns, greys, blue-grays, dark olive, slate greens, etc. Stucco colors are generally light -white, beige, pale gold, or other light pastels. Other light colors could be appropriate, as considered on a case-by-case basis. Bright colors (red, orange, blues, maroon, etc.) should be avoided for major wall planes, but can be used effectively (with restraint) for decorative trim, wall graphics, and other accent elements. Generally, to avoid both "busyness', and weak visual interest, the variety of major wall colors (and materials -excluding glass) should not exceed four nor be less than two. 6 A color/material change between the ground floor and upper floors is a common and effective reinforcement of the pedestrian scale of the street. Vail Village Master Plan Section is Summary (in part) While Vail is maturing, there is a need to continually maintain and upgrade the quality of existing building, as well as streets, walks, and utility services. Vail's economy relies to a .large degree on maintaining its overall status and attractiveness as a world class resort. Within this context the Master Plan is one of several documents that have been developed to preserve and strengthen the Tyrolean/Alpine character of Vail Village -while allowing for limited, highly- controlled growth...The plan is organized according to the Vail Village Sub-areas - ten areas within the Village that are homogeneous with respect to building character, physical conditions, land use and ownership. Section II: History of Vail Villaqe (in part) In response to this trend (rapid development), the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan was adopted in 1980 after a brief moratorium on development. The Guide Plan became the official tool for reviewing projects within the core area of the Village and the adjacent area to the northeast. The Plan provided specific attention to building and streetscape development in order to reinforce and improve the pedestrian's walking experience. These regulatory tools established the framework within which the Vial Village core had developed through the latest growth period. Upgrading Buildings: Vail Village has not escaped the aging process. There is a need to encourage the continued upgrading and enhancement of existing lodging and commercial facilities .within the Village in order to maintain the unique character that is its main attraction. Cont... Updating zoning controls and expanding design guidelines is seen as an essential step toward assuring the long term unified development of the Village. It is a goal of this .Plan to establish a framework for guiding private sector development and improvements as well as public improvements throughout the .entire Vail Village area. Section V: Goals. Objectives Policies and Action Steps Goal #3: To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and other improvements. Section VII: Vail Villaqe Sub Areas Commercial Core 1 Sub Area (#3) This pedestrianized area of the Village represents the traditional image of Vail. A mixture of residential and commercial uses, limited vehicular access, and inter- connected pedestrian ways are some of the characteristics that distinguish this area from other portions of the Village. With the exception of embellishing pedestrian walkways, developing p/azas with greenspace, and adding a number 7 of infill developments, it is a goal of the community to preserve the character of the Village as it is today. The core area, with it's predominantly Tyrolean architecture, is the site of the earliest development in Vail. Over time, a need to upgrade and improve infrastructure such as loading and delivery facilities, drainage, paved surfaces and other landscape feafures has become apparent. Many improvements to public spaces will be addressed as part of an overall streetscape improvement project. There is also potential to initiate a number of these improvements in conjunction with private sector development projects. The Vail Village Urban design Guide Plan has been the primary tool in guiding private development proposals in the core area since 1980/ The Guide Plan will continue to be used in conjunction with the goals and design criteria outlined in the Vail Village ~ Master Plan. Infill and redevelopment proposals shall be reviewed for compliance with the design criteria, goals, objectives and policies established in these respective plans. VI. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors Regarding the Text.Amendment: The review criteria and factors for consideration fora request of a text amendment are established in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-3, Vail Town Code (Ordinance No. 4, Series 2002). 1. The extent to which the, text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and 12-1-2A, Purpose/General: General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. Staff and the Design Review Board have determined that the proposed text amendment will further "promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality." To effectively maintain Vail's conception "as a mountain resort in the pattern of quaint European alpine villages" (as defined in the Guide Plan introduction), increased flexibility in color choice and application should be considered. 12-1-28.8, Purpose/Specific: To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the Town. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed text amendment will further enhance the appearance of the Town of Vail by allowing for increased 8 creativity regarding color usage, personal expression by merchants, and therefore enhanced vitality within the Village. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve 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 Vail Village Master Plan idenfrfies the following Goal (#3) and objective: To recognize as a top .priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and other improvements. Staff believes that the incorporation of varied colors within the Village will accomplish the objective stated to aid in achieving this goal. The Land Use Plan states the following: Section 4.3, Chapter II: The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) Staff believes that by allowing color variety upon buildings within the Village, the ambiance vital to Vail's identity and initial visioning as a "Tyrolean Village" will be enhanced. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and Since the adoption of the subject planning documents that guide development within the Town, redevelopment and increased development have enhanced the need for upgrades within the Town. By relaxing the regulations concerning color application to buildings within the Commercial Core areas, merchants and owners will be more likely to propose fagade enhancement and will be allowed more flexibility to "create" a European environment within such areas. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives. The proposed text amendment does not particularly affect land use regulations but is in keeping with the municipal development objectives that deal with upgrading of buildings, facade enhancement, etc. 9 5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission and/or Council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. B. Consideration of Factors Regarding the Text Amendment: as found within the Urban Design Guide Plan The factors for consideration of a text amendment of the Urban Design Guide Plan may be based -upon the following statements of The Plan that Staff has deemed similar to the factors for consideration within Title 12, Zoning Regulations. 1. These Design Considerations, and the Urban Design Plan as a whole, are intended to guide growth and change in ways that will enhance and preserve the essential qualities of Vail Village. The proposed text amendment will enhance and preserve the essential qualities of Vail Village by providing more aesthetic variety and interest while taking into account it's unique European appeal. 2. Any standards, in the end, must be based upon Vail's own unique characteristics and potential now. The proposed text amendment takes into consideration and even increases Vail's unique characteristics and architectural blend of styles while lending more potential to the Village for uniqueness in the future. 3. To preserve this character, care must be taken to avoid both new architectural prototypes, and historical ones, local or foreign, which do not share the same vocabulary. The proposed text amendment shares the same vocabulary as existing architectural prototypes found within the Village and along East Meadow Drive. 4. These Design Considerations are arecognition that there is , a distinctive design character to the Village and that this character is important to preserve. The proposed text amendment will likely increase the distinctive design character found within the Village through the provision of increased personal expression and creativity through the use of color. C. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before forwarding a recommendation of approval for a text amendment: 1. That the amendment is consistent with 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 10 2.
