Community Development Department DATE: January 9, 2006 SUBJECT: A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to rezone Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, Roost Lodge, from Public Accommodation (PA) district to Public Accommodation -2 (PA-2) district, located at 1783 North Frontage Road, Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Timberline Roost Lodge L.L.C. Planner: George Ruther I. SUMMARY The applicant, Timberline Roost Lodge, L.L.C., has submitted a development review application to the Community Development Department to allow for the rezoning of Lots 9-12, Buffher Creek Resubdivision, from Public Accommodation (PA) District to Public Acommodation-2 (PA-2) District: The applicant has submitted the application in anticipation of the redevelopment of the Roost Lodge. Staff is recommending that the Planning & Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval of the applicant's development review application. IL ~ DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Timberline Roost Lodge L.L.C., has submitted a development review application to the Town of Vail Community Development Department. The purpose of the application is to amend the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail whereby Lots 9 -12 Buffher Creek Resubdivision are rezoned to Public Accommodation - 2 zone district. According to the applicant, the rezoning is intended to facilitate the redevelopment of the Roost Lodge. A vicinity map of the development site and surrounding area has been attached for reference. (Attachment A) III. BACKGROUND A review of the Town's files and records clearly identifies the intent of the existing regulations regarding accommodation units and the prohibition against allowing accommodation units to contain "kitchen facilities". The files show that the legislative intent behind the current regulation is to: 1) discourage long-term ,~ occupancy of what are intended to be short-term rental units; 2) prevent the likelihood of the sale of accommodation units as dwelling units; 3) encourage visitors and guests to frequent the many eating and drinking establishments in the town during. their stay in Vail; and 4) ensure compatibility amongst surrounding land uses. A further review of the Town's files shows that the existing language pertaining to definitions of accommodation units, dwelling units, kitchen facilities and kitchenettes has remained unchanged since their adoption in 1973. The only recent and notable amendment to the regulation of accommodation units came in the late 1990's when the development standards for density were amended and accommodation units were no longer counted towards density. Finally, a review of the other resort communities' regulations pertaining to kitchen facilities within hotel rooms reveals a wide range of approaches. For example, the City of Aspen Land Development Regulations, by definition,.permits kitchens within individual hotel rooms in a hotel or lodge while the Town of Breckenridge Land Development Code states that "no kitchens of any kind are permitted within the units" of hotel, lodges or inns. On November 14 and 28, 2005, the applicant appeared before the Planning & Environmental Commission with a request to amend the text of the Public Accommodation (PA) zone district to allow accommodation units to include kitchen facilities, as a conditional use in the district. Upon consideration of the request, the Commission directed staff and the applicant to prepare an amendment which would result in 'the creation of a new zone district purposefully intended to allow accommodation units to include kitchen facilities in certain areas of Town. On December 6, 2005; during the PEC/DRB update to the Vail Town Council, staff informed the Town Council of the recent discussions with the Planning & Environmental Commission regarding the text amendment and the creation of a new zone district. The Town Council acknowledged that the intent of the proposed text amendment may have merit, however, encouraged the staff and Commission to evaluate other options. For example, the possibility of creating a conditional use with use-specific criteria addressing the relationship of the use to other neighboring uses. and development objectives of the Town or the elimination of the prohibition against kitchen facilities in accommodation units. The Town Council expressed that it may be appropriate to re-evaluate the legislative intent of the current land use policy prohibiting kitchen facilities in accommodation units. On December 12, 2005, the applicant appeared before the Planning & Environmental Commission to discuss the merits of creating the Public Accommodation-2 (PA-2) district. Following discussion on the topic, the Commission directed staff to prepare a proposed text amendment for the Commission's consideration and recommendation. On December 20, 2005, Community Development Department held a worksession meeting with the Vail Town Council to present the options for addressing the desire to allow kitchen facilities in accommodation units. 2 IV.

Also allowed in. this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. Chapter 11 -Land Use Plan Goals/Policies 1.1 Vai! should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1:3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in exisfing . developed areas (infill areas). 3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skiers. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged.

Two Family Primary/Secondary West: Residential Residential Cluster CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail (rezoninal Chapter 3, Administration and Enforcement, Title 12, Zoning Title, of the Vail Town Code authorizes amendments to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail. Pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendments, in part, 5 "an application to. amend the district boundaries of the Zoning Map may be initiated by petition of any resident or property owner in the Town." Furthermore, Section 12-3-7 C prescribes the criteria and findings the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider owith respect to a request to amend the Zoning Map. The applicant is seeking a recommendation of approval to rezone Lots 9-12 Buffher Creek Resubdivision from .Public Accommodation (PA) district to the Public Accommodation-2 (PA-2) district. According to Section 12-3-7 C, of the Vail Town Code, Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the. requested zone district boundary amendment: 1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and Section V of this memorandum outlines the goals and policies that are relevant to the proposed rezoning of Lots 9-12, Buffher Creek Resubdivision. According to Section 12-7J-7: Purpose; Public Accommodation-2 (PA-2) district, "The public accommodation. -2 district is intended to provide sites for lodges, limited service lodges, and residential accommodations on a short term basis, for visitors and guests, together with such public and • semipublic facilities and commercial/retail and related visitor oriented uses as maybe appropriately located within the same district and compatible with adjacent land uses. This district is intended to provide for lodging sites located outside the periphery of the Town's Vail Village and Lionshead commercial core areas. The public accommodation - 2 district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of the district by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses which enhance the.nature of Vail as a vacation community, and where permitted uses are intended to function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the district. " This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop as limited service lodges. The ultimate goal of these incentives is create variety and diversity amongst resort lodging unit types. Any future redevelopment of the property will be required to comply with the standards outlined for development in the district. The proposed rezoning is consistent and compatible with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and the Town's development objectives. 2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out, in the Town's adopted planning documents; and The Public Accommodation-2 district establishes zoning that is consistent with both existing and proposed uses on the parcel. The proposed use of the property will remain as a lodge thus providing short-term accommodations for guests and visitors to the Town. The zone district amendment is consistent with existing and potential uses on surrounding properties. According to the Vail Land Use Plan, the adjoining land use designations include Medium Density Residential. Pursuant to the Plan, the existing land use designation is Medium Density Residential and is not proposed to change with this application. Given that the existing use is a lodge in the medium density residential land use designated area and that the new use is not a substantial change, staff believes that the amendment is suitable with the existing -and potential land uses surrounding the site. . 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and The Public Accommodation-2 district is consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. The proposed zone district implements specific goals of the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff believes that the proposed re-zoning presents a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship with land uses in the area consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. For example, while the overall density of development on the Roost Lodge development site will increase as a result of the zone district boundary amendment and subsequent redevelopment the development standards of the Public Accommodation-2 district ensures a workable relationship among land uses. The only real distinction on future development under the Public Accommodation district versus the Public Accommodation -2 district is the presence of limited service lodge units that contain kitchen facitilies. 4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole; and The proposed re-zoning establishes consistent zoning for the property. This re-zoning will create 'a zone district consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. The proposed re-zoning and development plan provide for the development of an orderly viable community consistent with the Town's development interests as expressed in the Vail Land Use Plan. For instance, the purpose of the Public Accommodation-2 district is, in part, "to provide sites for lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, lodge dwelling units, and limited service lodge units". Staff believes that this amendment furthers the development objectives of the Town and serves the best interest of the community as a whole. 5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water quality, -air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features; and The proposed re-zoning will not significantly alter the existing character or uses allowed on the site. As such, staff does not for see any adverse impacts on the natural environment to include water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, etc. 6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with , the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. The Public Accommodation-2 district is proposed for the subject property. The proposed zone district is consistent with the intended purpose of that zone district. 7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation 'of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. Since the original adoption of zoning on the property, the Town of Vail has undergone an extensive growth and change. As such, the Town has adopted clearly identifiable goals .and .objectives for development in this general area of Town. In order to ensure that these goals and objectives for. development are carried out, the Town adopted the Public Accommodation-2 district. If approved, the applicant will be afforded the opportunity to redevelop the site with the Town's goals in mind. 8. -Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. IX. .STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval of an amendment to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, pursuant to Chapter 3, Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, to rezone Lots 9=12, Buffher Creek Resubdivision to the Vail Town Council, subject to-the following condition: 1. That the rezoning shall only become effective upon the adoption of an ordinance duly establishing the Public Accommodation-2 district, as presently contemplated by the Vail Town Council. . Staff's recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings: "Before recommending and/or granting an approval of an application for a zone district boundary amendment the Planning & Environmental Commission and the Town Council shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment: 1. That the amendment. is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and 2. That the amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas; and 3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promotes 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.".

Provide a desirable framework for the .future redevelopment of properties in the West Vail plannirig area which respects the adjacent neighborhood; 2. Recapture lost revenues from new down-valley centers; and 3. Establish a more competitive, . sustainable community in West Vail while remaining Community Commercial-oriented. Problem Statements: 1. An-acute decline in -sales tax revenues over the last four .years show West Vail . businesses are losing to down valley competition. 2. There is a lack of thematic architectural and design character in West Vail today. 3. Current zoning and master plan land use designations are outdated. Next Steps: 1. Report Input from this Town Meeting to the Town Council on January 17, 2006 2. Committee Meeting to Review Input, January 19; 2006 3. Traffic Study Completion by January 27, 2006 4. Public Meeting on Preferred Concept, January 31, 2006 ' 5. Committee Meeting on Draft Plan, February 2, 2006 6. Discussion on Housing Policy, January 7, 2006 7. PEC Hearing on Draft Plan, February 13, 2006 8. Town Council Review of Draft Plan & PEC Recommendation, February 21, 2006 9. Proceed with Recommendations from Council West Lionshead Master Plan Goals: The following are goals as identified by Town Council for the West Lionshead Master Plan area. • To obtain additional parking to reduce the number of days cars are parked on the Frontage Road. • To identify opportunities for a transit facility for buses. • To identify opportunities for commercial uses (office and retail) which do not compete with existing Town of Vail commercial areas. Under any scenario, there shall be no net loss of office and retail space while the potential for an increase is explored. • To create "hot" beds in West Lionshead. • To improve circulation along the frontage Road. • To improve the guest experience. Problem Statements: In conjunction with the review of the Ritz-Carlton Residences to be located on the West Day Lot, Vail Resorts identified the desire to locate a ski lift in the West Lionshead vicinity. The desire to locate a lift in':West Lionshead resulted from the purchase of additional land area by Vail Resorts Development Company, which included the Vail Professional Building, Cascade Crossing, and the Amoco/BP gas station. Several of the parcels purchased are not currently covered under the existing Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and therefore a process was proposed to begin looking at the land area and appropriate locations for a potential ski lift/gondola in West Lionshead and incorporation into the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Next Steps: The following are the next steps which will be pursued for the West Lionshead Master Plan study area. • January 13, 2006, submittal of a Planning and Environmental Commission application to amend the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. • January 26, 2006, a public meeting to allow citizens and other interested parties provide input on the current concepts and goals. • February 2, 2006, West Lionshead Master Plan Committee meeting to continue working on the concepts. • February 7, 2006, update on progress to Council at the afternoon work session. • February 13 and 27, work session meetings with the Planning and Environmental Commission discussion the amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. • March 13, 2006, final review and recommendation from the Planning and Environmental Commission regarding the amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. • Council hearings regarding the amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan will occur subsequent to Planning and Environmental Commission review. ~_--~--~-~--~ __ w __. ~ _w _...~ ..~. _._...~.._ ----- Page 1 Corey Swisher Re -a-M°-.,..- From: Kim Ruotolo To: BurtN ~ ssg-autostop.com Date: 1/4/2006 2:34:28 PM Subject: Re: Burt, Thank you for your input on this development. I am forwarding your email to Corey Swisher (Assistant to the Town Manager) to ensure that it becomes part of the public record. Since we currently sit in a quai- judicial role on this development, we cannot discuss it outside of public meetings. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to also attend any meetings that address Crossroads and express your opinions at those. Best regards, Kim Ruotolo Vail Town Council Member »> Burt Nordstrand <BurtNC~ssg-autostop.com> 01/04/06 2:00 PM »> My name is Burt Nordstrand, and I am the Vice President of the Village Center Homeowners Condominium Association. As an owner of the directly neighboring condominium across the street, I personally urge the town of Vail to expedite the approval of the Crossroads redevelopment. As you all know, Village Center has just completed an extensive renovation to increase the appeal and the value of the property. The response from our owners, neighbors and visitors has been strongly favorable. Considering our significant investment in this Vail property, I am sure you would want our perspective on the proposed redevelopment of the neighboring Crossroads site. I have had an opportunity to visit with many of Village Center's owners on this subject, and I have personally discussed this issue with members of Village Center's board of directors, and I can assure you that Village Center strongly supports the project proposed by Peter Knobel. It is extremely disappointing that the redevelopment of the dilapidated Crossroads property somehow has not been able to proceed. I have heard town council members and other town staff members all state that they want to see this building torn down, but that they are not satisfied with the proposal submitted by the developer. This is baffling. Our owners have met with the developer and seen all of the plans and changes. In our opinion, as the directly facing neighbor, THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE PROJECT and a WELCOME ADDITION TO THE VILLAGE. Wake up, Vail! Look at the current construction projects around town and take a walk over to Lionshead (or whatever the new name is now) to view the Ritz model. It will become apparent to all of you that the day of small buildings is already gone! The Ritz is eight stories with a tower in excess of 120 feet. Notwithstanding its large size, the Ritz -unlike the proposed Crossroads redevelopment -adds nothing for the residents of Vail or Lionshead. The Ritz is simply for the 107 condo owners of the Ritz, whereas the proposed Crossroads complex will have features that all residents of and visitors to Vail may enjoy. We have invested money in our property, and Deter Knobel wants to do the same for his. Projects like these better the experience of being in Vail.

Secondhand smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals including arsenic, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and radioactive elements. z ® Secondhand smoke, or ETS, is classified as a Group A carcinogen, like asbestos, by the Environmental Protection Agency. 3 ® In adults, exposure to ETS is associated with increased risk of lung cancer, particularly in those with high exposure and acute and chronic respiratory symptoms that improve after the cessation of exposure.4 ® Environmental tobacco smoke increases the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers. The risk of lung cancer increases consistently with increasing levels of exposure.5 ® Breathing other people's smoke is an important and avoidable cause of ischaemic heart disease, increasing a person's risk by 25%. 6 ® Just thirty minutes of exposure to secondhand smoke can cause a reduction in coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR).' ® Both cumulative lifetime and recent ETS exposures increase the risk of adult-onset asthma. s ® The World Health Organization Consultation concluded that ETS is a real and substantial threat to child health causing death and suffering throughout the world.9 - ETS exposure causes a wide variety of adverse health effects in children, including lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis, coughing and wheezing, worsening of asthma, and middle ear disease. - Children's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke may also contribute to cardiovascular disease in adulthood and to neurobehavioural impairment. ® A 1988 tobacco industry memo states: "it must be appreciated that Philip Morris are putting vast amounts of funding into these projects: not only is directly funding large numbers of research projects all over the world, but in attempting to coordinate and pay so many scientists on an international basis to keep the ETS controversy alive." The memo also summarized the Philip Morris program to recruit scientists "who have no previous record on the primary issue" to conduct research "which apparently would then be `filtered' by lawyers to eliminate areas of sensitivity."10'" ® Establishment of smoke-free bars and taverns was associated with a rapid improvement of Bartenders' respiratory health.'Z ® A positive and significant attitudinal change related to the smoke-free bar law occurred among bar owners and staff in California.13 References National Toxicologygram. 11th Report on Carcino~ns.

Researchers from the Texas Department of Health used tax data to track sales in Plano, Arlington, Wichita Falls and Austin before and after smoking rules went into effect. Total restaurant sales generally continued to climb in all four cities." to 1 Scollo M, et al, "Review of the quality of studies on the economic effects of smoke-free policies on the hospitality industry", Tobacco Control (2003); 12:13-20. 2 Glantz, S.
