several unplatted parcels (a more complete legal description is available at the Community

Applicant: Vail Resorts Development Company, Town of Vail, and Glen Lyon Office Building
General Partnership
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Tabled to December 11, 2006
MOTION: Cleveland SECOND: Pierce VOTE: 5-0-0
Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Tom Braun, applicant's representative, highlighted the key elements of the proposal and the
changes made to the proposal since the Commission's last hearing. He spoke specifically about
the location of the west boundary for the study area and requiring the tapering of building heights
at the west end of the study area.
Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowner's Association, questioned if the plan addressed who would
fund a future Simba Run underpass.
Warren Campbell replied that the plan recommended the underpass, but did not address
funding.
Jim Lamont asked Russ Forrest to clarify the possible extension of the Urban Renewal Authority.
Russ Forrest clarified.
Jay Peterson, applicant's representative, clarified that the master plan area does not necessarily
need to be expanded to include the Simba Run underpass to allow for future use of tax
increment financing for the underpass.
Chas Bernhardt recommended adding the Simba Run underpass in the master plan for future
clarity.
Bill Pierce asked how skiers will return to the proposed parking structure.
Jay Peterson responded that the proposed lift in West Lionshead would be a gondola as skiers
feel more comfortable downloading on a gondola. Both down loading on the gondola and bus
service would bring people back to West Lionshead parking.
Bill Pierce asked for clarification about the potential re-alignment scenarios for the South
Frontage Road.
Jay Peterson clarified through the use of several boards.
Page 2
Bill Pierce noted his concern about any scenario that has density on the north side of the
Frontage Road that creates the need for a pedestrian connection if only phase one of the
Frontage Road alignment is completed. He asked the applicants to reword the proposed master
plan language to be more clear regarding the need for a pedestrian overpass or underpass
between the proposed gondola and area to the northwest..
Tom Braun agreed.
Dick Cleveland stated he has the same concerns that he did at the last hearing. HE; is
concerned about the loss of existing office space and an overall loss of retail. He doesn't believe
the Glen Lyon Office Building should be part of the Cascade SDD and not part of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan. He has concerns about tearing down good existing buildings
(Cascade Crossing and the Vail Professional Building) to construct new buildings.
Jay Peterson noted that precluding these buildings would prevent good things from happening.
He noted that the proposed language addresses building heights and no net loss of office and
retail. He noted that there have been several previous proposals to demolish and rebuild the
Glen Lyon. Office Building.
David Viele, representing Glen Lyon Office Building, noted that the possible redeveloprrient
scenarios for this building will not be 82 feet but only a few stories. They intend to rezonE; to
allow residential uses and plan to maintain the office uses (including his own office). He doesn't
believe not being owned by Vail Resorts should precluded the property from the being in the
master plan..
Bill Jewitt thanked the applicant for the changes they've made since the last hearing. He stated
that the Simba Run underpass should be included in the urban renewal district. He asked if 'Vail
Resorts was still in negotiation with the Town concerning Timber Ridge.
The applicant and Russ Forrest confirmed they are still involved.
Bill Jewitt does not believe the Cascade Crossing and the Glen Lyon buildings need incentives
for redevelopment and does not believe this amendment is necessary. He believes there are
many good ideas, but a special development district request would be a more appropriate
process then a master plan amendment and rezoning.
Rollie Kjesbo has concerns about granting additional development rights to the Glen Lyon Office
Building.
Russ Forrest noted that Cascade has no underlying zoning, and Staff would prefer clear
expectations of zoning and master planning verse the Special Development District process.
Chas Bernhardt would like to see the Simba Run underpass included in the plan. He noted that
Cascade Crossing and the Vail Professional Building are actually poor quality in term;> of
construction and building/fire codes. He is more concerned about a natural geographic
boundary to the master plan verse an arbitrary termination at Red Sandstone Creek. He wanted
to highlight that there should be no future loss of employee housing.
Bill Pierce noted that based upon the existing road configuration, the Glen Lyon Office Building ,
Vail Professional Building and Cascade Crossing should not be in the master plan; if the
Frontage Road is modified they should be included.

r
Bill Dewitt stated his concern is to find something that fits the neighborhood, and doesn't give a
development windfall with no return for the Town.
Russ Forrest reviewed the public benefits of the proposal: Simba Run underpass, Frontage
Road improvements, new parking structure, improvements to the commercial area, etc.
Jay Peterson requested that master planning agreements be agreed upon between the applicant
and the Commission.
Bill Gibson and Warren Campbell explained other zoning options for these development sites.
Bill Dewitt asked the applicant how many stories they needed for future development.
Jack Hunn stated that the massing of this development needs to step down to the west and
toward the Gore Creek. He noted that this is the first step and the Commission and the Town
have a tremendous amount of leverage in the future steps of the development process.
Russ Forrest asked if the applicant had additional information that might be available at the time
of a future rezoning.
Jack Hunn also proposed an additional review step of a master site plan.
Bill Jewitt recommended specific enforceable master plan language stating the Commission's
desire for lower building heights than would be allowed by Lionshead 1 or 2 zoning.
Bill Pierce recommended a hybrid of the SDD process since no one wants the maximum building
heights to apply to the whole site. He noted the tremendous amount of development potential
being considered without a clear benefit to the Town.
Chas Bernhardt stated that until rezoning discussions are held the Town is not guaranteeing
development rights. .
Warren Campbell restated that inclusion in the master plan does. not require a rezoning to
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 or 2.
Jay Peterson stated he liked the idea of specific height goals for this area.
Russ.. Forrest questioned if specific criteria could be established for a future rezoning of these
sites.
Bill Dewitt recommended a conceptual height plan being submitted.
Dick Cleveland recommended detailed descriptions of future development of these three
buildings.
Warren Campbell suggested ranges of heights, rather one specific number.
3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an amendment to the Town of Vail

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: December 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Vail 2020 Strategic Plan Update
PURPOSE
The purpose of the December 5, 2006, discussion regarding Vail 20/20 is to:
• Review goals that will serve as the foundation for the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan;
• Gain feedback from Council regarding the use of these goals for developing a
strategic plan; and
• Discuss progress and next steps to complete Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan.
II. BACKGROUND
In the process of extensive redevelopment, the .Town has been addressing many
planning issues such as circulation, housing, recreation, and land use, which transcend
neighborhoods and have regional implications. On January 17, 2006, the Town Council
approved a scope of work that included soliciting a facilitator to garner community
participation, and a consultant to assist Town Staff in drafting a vision and community
plan. The selection process occurred in February 2006, and Design Workshop was
selected as both the final consultant and facilitator of this project.
Starting in March 2006, Design Workshop worked with Staff to develop the process for
Vail 2020. Staff met with various stakeholders in the community who provided valuable
insight into the process, including the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District,
participants in the Vail Tomorrow process, and the Vail Village Homeowners
Association. Staff also worked with RRC Associates and Design Workshop to update
the State of Vail report, which included a more detailed analysis of the state of housing,
land use, transportation, the environment, culture, economic development, and
recreation.
The "Vail 20/20" process officially began with a meeting of institutional stakeholders on
August 3, .2006 at Donovan Pavilion. The stakeholders. provided input regarding
individual organizational goals, as well as Town and- regional issues, which concern their
organization. On August 22nd and 24`h, two community workshops were held at Donovan
Pavilion to discuss Vail's existing values and Vail's vision for the future.
On September 19, 2006, Staff presented draft values and vision statements to the Town
Council and provided an update on the Vail 20/20 process. Town Council provided
comments on the drafts and instructed Staff to proceed with the Vail 20/20 Strategic
Plan process.
Over the past two months, a group of staff members has convened that represent
housing, transportation, land use and development, community, environment, economy,
recreation and community services. Staff members have worked with individual teams
to drafts goals and in some cases, have developed objectives and strategies as part of a
strategic plan.
III. GOALS AND OUTCOMES
It is critical that both the goals and outcomes of the Vail 20/20 process agree with the Town
Council's guidance. The following statements represent the goals and outcomes that have
been outlined to date for this process:
Goals
• To identify commonly shared values in the community;
• To create a clear and vivid vision of Vail's future;
• To develop an integrated. community plan that creates an effective coordinated
strategy for Vail's future;
• To create a final product that transcends the administrations of Town Council and
appointed boards and commissions;
• To build upon planning processes from other communities and processes already in
place in Vail; and
• To create a participatory process focused on listening and community involvement.
Outcomes
A strategic plan which provides atopically-based vision for the next 10-15 years based
on a shared set of values and provides an integrated action plan to achieve that vision;
Coordinated decision making so that land use decisions compliment transportation,
housing, and economic strategies and vice versa. This will help save time and
money through more coordinated project management; and
Improved effectiveness and efficiency in capital and operational budgeting by
ensuring the annual budget supports a strategic vision and the set of values that the
community identified. In addition, this process has been proven to leverage other
private and public dollars to implement shared goals.
IV. ACTIONS REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
1. Review Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan Goals and provide feedback to staff on utilizing
these goals for a Strategic Plan.
The following goals were created as a foundation for the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan. Staff

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Nina Timm
DATE: December 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Employee Housing Policy -Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary
Zoning
I. INTRODUCTION
On October 17, 2006, staff met with Town Council to review Commercial
Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning policies to meet employee housing need in the
Town of Vail. Both of these policies will require that new employee housing is
generated based on new development in the Town. of Vail.
Based on previous discussions, staff has been working under the assumption that
Town Council would like to ensure that employee housing is available for at least
30% of new employment positions in the Town of Vail. Staff also understood
that commercial uses, which benefit the town through the generation of sales tax,
should be less burdened by an employee housing requirement. Additionally staff
heard that Town Council wants to ensure that the policies work together and are
not "double dipping" through their application.
Moving forward with the above understanding, staff has been working with legal
counsel to construct a draft ordinance that will highlight recommendations and
additional decision points that need to be made by the Planning and
Environmental Commission and Council. The purpose of presenting the next
phase of discussion in ordinance form is to:
A. Show how each decision relates to other elements in the ordinance, To
reinforce that decisions on each point should be made with respect to the
goal in mind (e.g. house 30% of new workers) and in relation to other
policy points in the ordinance and;
B. To introduce the framework of an ordinance to increase familiarity with
the construct of what will be needed to codify Inclusionary Zoning for
residential development and commercial linkage for Commercial
Development.
All decision points (and others identified through the drafting process) will be
highlighted for Commission and Council input and will include staff/consultant
~,
recommendations and points for consideration in continued evaluation. The
following memo illustrates some of the primary recommendations of the draft
ordinance to date, which includes input received by legal counsel from Kendra L.
Carberry of Hayes, Phillips; Hoffmann & Carberry, P.C.
II. GLOSSARY OF TERMS
A. Inclusionary Zoning: Zoning provisions that require mandatory
inclusion or set-aside of a set percentage of residential development as
employee housing units (usually the same type or similar to other units in
development). Program may allow cash-in-lieu, land-in-lieu, purchase/
renovation of existing units or off-site housing as options for compliance,
typically in a given order of preference.
B. Commercial~Linkage: Zoning provisions that require commercial
development (lodge, retail, industry, etc), to provide funds or housing to
meet some percentage of seasonal and/or long-term employment positions
generated by the new development (15% to 60% range common).
C. Residential Linkage: Requirement for residential development to
provide housing or fees-in-lieu for some percentage of employment
positions created by the new development (residential services, etc.)
III. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED EMPLOYEE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
FOR COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES
A. The ordinance would achieve the goal of providing housing for at least 30%
of the new jobs generated by new development/redevelopment in the Town of
Vail
B. The ordinance would take into account that commercial development already
benefits the towri through sales tax generation.
C. To achieve the policy objectives in Paragraph B, the definition of residential
uses in the ordinance would, include: Dwelling Units including Hot Beds,
Fractional Fee units, Time Share Units, and Lodge Units. All other uses
would be considered commercial uses and, therefore, subject only to
commercial linkage requirements.
IV. COMMERCIAL LINKAGE (ONLY APPLIES TO COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT)
A. Policy Overview
The Town of Vail currently utilizes commercial linkage requirements to
mitigate a portion of the net new employees generated by commercial
development. The Town's current practice is that commercial
developments that comply with zoning are required to mitigate 15% of
their net new employees, while developments that exceed zoning are
required to mitigate 30% of their net new employees. The commercial
linkage requirement of the proposed. ordinance would tie the employee
2
housing mitigation requirement directly to the new jobs generated by
commercial uses, using a formula that would be equally applied to all
commercial development.
Proposed policy changes for Commercial Linkage are:
1) The ordinance would require that all commercial development mitigate
30% of their net new employees, regardless of whether the proposed.
development complies with current zoning.
2) The ordinance would modify how commercial linkage is applied to
exempt dwelling units (regardless if there is a front desk associated
with the units) from required mitigation. Dwelling units would be
subject to Inclusionary Zoning only.
3) In Town Council's discretion, the ordinance would further reduce the
mitigation percentage or exempt Accommodation Units based on the
sales tax dollars generated by this use.
4) The ordinance would create a definition of the employee housing
mitigation requirement that is based on a unit of "employee to be
housed" (ETBH).
B. Mitigation Options
Proposed mitigation requirements based on ETBH requirements:
1) Pay-in-Lieu
a. Based on the rational nexus study completed by RRC this fall,
the data supports a fee of $178,526 per ETBH for employee
units targeting household earning less than 80°,/0 of the AMI
(incomes below $47,700 fora 2-person household). The
purpose of this fee is to bridge the gap between what workers
earning local wages can afford. to pay for housing and real
estate prices.
b. The ordinance would require the Town of Vail to put fees
collected in a dedicated fund for the purpose of providing
additional employee housing units. The Town would be
assuming the burden of mitigating the employee housing
impact.
c. This option would provide developers a means to mitigate a
portion of an employee generated.
d. This can be set up as a method only available with Town
Council approval.
2) On-Site and Off-Site Units
a. The ordinance would provide an incentive for on-site units,
either through bonuses or creating more onerous off-site
requirements.
b. The ordinance would provide explicit quantitative standards
based on ETBH.
The following chart shows the housing standards that Aspen has adopted.
Staff believes that this is the approach that the Town of Vail should take as
well. Eagle County also has similar standards.
Minimum Sq Ft # of Employees Credit
Studio Unit 550 sq ft average 1.25
One Bedroom Unit 750 sq ft average 1.75
Two Bedroom Unit 975 sq ft average 2.25
Three Bedroom Unit 1225 sq ft average 3
V.
INCLUSIONARY ZONING (ONLY APPLIES TO RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT)
A. Policy Overview
Staff and the Town's consultants are recommending that the Town
implement Inclusionary Zoning rather than Residential Linkage for new
residential development in the Town of Vail based on Town Council's
desire to maximize the number of employees housed. through the Town's
employee housing policy. Inclusionary zoning would generate more
housing than Residential Linkage. Also, by not utilizing Residential
Linkage, the Town can more easily avoid "double dipping" housing
requirements for residential uses.
The following is a hypothetical example of commercial linkage compared
to residential linkage and inclusionary zoning:
4
Example: 25,000 new square feet of new residential development is built
and it will be comprised of 25 new units with a front desk.
1) Commercial Linkage will require mitigation for 5 new employees at
30%.
25 units x 0.8 jobs/unit x 30% = 6 jobs
6 jobs / 1.2 jobs per employee = 5 employees
2) Residential Linkage will require mitigation for 2 new employees at
100%.
25 units @ 1,000 sq ft x .08 employees per 1,000 unit x 100% = 2
3) Inclusionary Zoning will require 3,750 square feet for employee
housingmitigation at 15% (25,000 square feet * 15% = 3,750
square feet). With an average one-bedroom unit of 750 square feet
that will be 5 new units that house an average of 8.75 employees
(3,750 / 750 = 5; 5 * 1.75 = 8.75 employees).
Based on the Town of Vail's goal to provide housing for at least 30% of
Vail's new workforce, staff is recommending that Town Council adopt an
Inclusionary Zoning standard of 15%. This will allow the Town to
achieve the 30% goal.
Proposed policy changes for Inclusionary Zoning are:
1) The ordinance will assess an Inclusionary Zoning requirement on all
net new residential square feet.
2) This will affect development in Lionshead and Vail Village differently
than previous employee housing requirements. Currently residential
development that had a front desk or appeared to act like a hotel is
assessed a commercial linkage requirement. An Inclusionary Zoning
policy will generate more employee housing than the Town's current
policy, because it is based on net new square feet and not employees
generated.
3) The ordinance will require a percentage of all new residential square
feet to be dedicated as employee housing (15% is recommended}.
4) The ordinance will require at least a portion of the employee housing
be provided on-site, either through mandatory provisions or incentives.
Eagle County encourages on-site mitigation by increasing the
Inclusionary Zoning requirement from 20% to 25% if the employee
unit mitigation is provided off-site.
5) The ordinance would treat accommodation units as a commercial use
(and therefore exempt from Inclusionary requirements).
B. Mitigation Options
Staff recommends the following mitigation requirements:
1) The mitigation methods should be geared toward creating on-site
employee housing units.
2) Because Inclusionary Zoning is a per square foot requirement, the on-
site requirements should be integrated as part of each development
with staff review.
3) Any off-site units should require Town Council review and approval,
and be based on the standards set in Commercial Linkage.
4) Pay-in-Lieu should be established per square foot based on the pay-in-
lieu fee supported in the Nexus Study. •Again, this can be sebup as a
method only available with Town Council approval, except in the
instance where a minimum number of square feet is required.
VL PROPOSED NEXT STEPS
As stated at the beginning of the memo the Ordinance is on track to be completed
with the above recommendations and assumptions highlighted for further
discussion and input from the Planning and Environmental Commission and
Council. The purpose of presenting the above decision points in ordinance form
is to:
A. Show how each decision relates to other elements in the ordinance. To
reinforce that decisions on each point should be made with respect to the
goal in mind (e.g. house 30% of new workers) and in relation to other
policy points in the ordinance and;
B. To introduce the framework of an ordinance to increase familiarity with
the construct. of what will be needed to codify Inclusionary Zoning for
residential development and commercial linkage for commercial
development.
All decision points (and others identified through the drafting process) will be
highlighted for Commission and Council input and will include staff/consultant
recommendations and points for consideration in continued evaluation.
If Town Council is supportive of the path identified in this memo, the input will
be incorporated into the draft ordinance that legal counsel is preparing, and could
be brought to the Planning and Environmental Commission as soon as December
10, 2006 for its recommendation. Staff would then be prepared to bring the
Ordinance to Town Council in January for work sessions and further deliberation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Stan Zemler, Judy Camp, Kathleen Halloran
DATE: November 30, 2006
SUBJECT: 2007 Budget and 2006 Supplemental Appropriation
On Tuesday evening, you will be asked to approve the third supplemental of 2006 upon
first reading and the 2007 budget and mil levy certification upon second reading. The
following information is included in you packet:
- 2007 Budget Second Reading Booklet (with separate table of contents and
commentary)
- Third Supplemental Appropriation Request of 2006
- Ordinance No. 29 Making Supplemental Appropriations to the 2006 Budget
Statements of Revenue, Expenditure, and Changes in Fund Balance including the
proposed third supplemental appropriation are included in the 2007 Budget Second
Reading Booklet. Noteworthy items included in the third supplemental are highlighted
below. Additional detail is included on the attached spreadsheet.
Capital Proiects Fund
Based upon actual results through September, we are recommending a budget
adjustment of $423,900 in additional sales tax revenue, bringing the total full-year
amended budget to $17,200,000.. We further recommend the entire amount be directed
to the Capital Projects Fund. This adjustment results in a sales tax revenue split of 54%
General Fund and 46% Capital Projects Fund.
Revenue is also adjusted for the $220,000 proceeds from the sale of the Vail ice dome
which was completed this month; loss of the Vail Resorts Development Company
resources agreement of which $27,000 of the total $219,000 was assigned to capital;
and $85,000 receipt of traffic impact fees from Manor Vail.
Expenditures are increased by $295,508 reflecting the purchase of a Vail Das shone unit
approved by Council on November 21; $20,000 reflecting estimated costs for Timber
Ridge redevelopment including costs of obtaining an appraisal and engaging a financial
consultant to review the developer proposal.
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund (RETT)
Based upon actual results through mid-November, we are recommending a downward
adjustment of $675,000 to real estate transfer tax revenue, from $6,175,000 originally
budgeted to $5.5 million now estimated. Two projects expected to begin closing on
sales in 2006, the Vail Plaza Hotel and One Willow Bridge, are now projected to close in
2007. We are also seeing slower activity in the less than $10 million per transaction
category than expected. A related adjustment is made to reduce the 5% management
fee paid by the RETT Fund to the General Fund.
General Fund
Parking revenue is increased $545,000 due to increased rates for the 2006/2007
season; paid parking for the first week of the season, which was previously free; and a
strong start to the ski season.
Construction permit fees and plan check fees are also increased based on current
activity. The $700,000 recommended increase in construction permits is .due to a
combination of residential and small commercial permits ($235,000); mid-size
commercial remodels ($66,500); and major redevelopment projects ($398,500). As of
mid-November, we have exceeded the original construction permit fee budget by
$643,000. The $275,000 increase in plan check fees is fully supported by revenue
already received and is partially offset by expenditures for outsourced plan review.
An adjustment is made to both rental revenue and salary/benefits for the fire student
program. This adjustment is necessary to show the new structure of the program,
whereby students pay rent for their living quarters. Although we recognized the net
impact of the program in the second supplemental, we did not show the full impact on
both revenue and expense components.
General Fund revenue is also reduced for the impact of the Vail Resorts Development
Company agreement which was not renewed for 2006, although we had budgeted for it.
The total impact is a revenue reduction of $219,000 of which $192,000 was allocated to
the General Fund.
Conference Center Fund
Revenue from earnings on investments is increased by $184,000 to an amended
$275,000 to reflect a higher actual fund balance at the end of 2005 than originally
anticipated and higher interest rates than originally projected.
Health Insurance Fund
We are anticipating a higher than average rate of health insurance claims in 2006. One
claim paid out this month is over $100,000. Our stop-loss coverage applies to claims
totaling more than $70,000 for any individual in one year. Considering the above-
mentioned claim along with a couple of other serious health issues and a higher trend in
routine claims than anticipated, we are proposing an increase of $385,000 in
expenditures and $65,000 in insurer reimbursements in the Health Insurance Fund. This
results in a potential $320,000 net reduction in the fund balance which is accumulated
for such unusual claims. The remaining fund balance of $585,855 is approximately 25%
of the fund's annual revenue and is still sufficient to cover the maximum liability
projected by our insurance consultants for 2007. We will monitor the claims closely and
reevaluate the reserve balance at year-end.

TOWN OF VAIL
2007 BUDGET PROPOSAL
The Town of Vai12007 .budget proposal presented in this document continues to support the five
areas of focus identified by Town Council: 1) facilitate Vail's redevelopment; 2) address issues
proactively; 3) elevate community leadership; 4) improve local economy; and 5) add to Vail's
appeal as a place to live, work, and play.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund supports the town's basic municipal operations. .Compared with the budget
proposal presented for first xeading on November 21, the General Fund now includes the final
property tax information from Eagle County.
REVENUE - $26,502,892
The General Fund's primary source of revenue is sales tax 010,7 millinnl fpllnt~Pd by r~arlrina
~ T - / I Y """"b
and charter bus service ($3.6 million), property and ownership tax ($3.0 million) and lift tax ($2.9
million). Licenses and permit fees are also expected to provide significant amounts of revenue
($1.9 million) in 2007, primarily due to major redevelopment projects.
Sales Tax - $10,741,500
In this budget proposal, 63% of the town's 4% general sales tax is allocated to the General Fund.
The remaining 37% is allocated to the Capital Projects Fund. By Charter, approval of this budget
will require an affirmative vote by five out of the seven Council members because less than 50%
of the sales tax revenue will be dedicated to capital acquisition and improvements. Total sales tax
is projected conservatively at $17,050,000.
Sales tax revenue is impacted by many variables including: snow conditions, the number of days
Vail Mountain is open; local and international travel conditions; construction activity in Vail; and
the economy in general. The 2005/2006 ski season generated excellent sales tax revenue due to
good snow and a late April closing of the mountain. Our projections do not anticipate the same
favorable conditions in 2007. We have, however, assumed inflation at 3.5% on an average year
base. We have also adjusted for redevelopment projects -upward for One Willow Bridge Road,
Sonnenalp addition, Tivoli, Vail Plaza Hotel, and Westhaven Condos, and downward for
Arrabelle/LionsHead, Crossroads, and Lodge Tower.
Parking and Charter Bus - $3,600,380
Parking rates for 2006/2007 were adjusted to meet increased operating costs and to lessen the
previous steep increase between the one-and-a-half and two-hour time frame. Paid parking will
also be in effect orie week early than previous years to correspond with the opening of Vail
Mountain. These changes are expected to result in a revenue increase of approximately
$225,000.
Property Tax and Ownership Tax - $ 3,024,998
Property tax is budgeted at $2,852,998 based on the final certification of values from the Eagle
County Assessor's Office, :Ownership tax makes up the remaining $172,000.
-1-
Changes Highlighted
Lift Tax - $2,890,000
This is a 4% tax on ski area admissions. We have conservatively budgeted a 3.2% increase over
2006, again recognizing 2006 may have been an unusually good snow year.
Licenses and Permit Fees - $1,883,550
The largest component of licenses and permits is construction permit fees, which includes
building, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical permits. The 2007 budget for construction permits
totals $1,125,000 with $600,000 coming from non-major projects and $525,000 from
redevelopment projects including Arrabelle, Front Door, Manor Vail, and Mountain View. To be
conservative in revenue projections, we have included only major projects currently under
construction or with a building permit application currently in house. Compared. with the 2006
amended budget, construction fees from major redevelopment projects are down $255,000.
Plan check fees represent an additional $550,000 of the license and permit fees category in 2007,
with design review, Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC), contractor's licenses, liquor
licenses and various other categories making up the remainder. Plan check fees are down from
the 2006 amended budget by approximately $378,875. These fees are also budgeted
conservatively with major projects budgeted only when the submittal for plan nevi ew i s received.
Since many of the large development plan reviews are outsourced, the associated costs are also
appropriated only when the submittal is received.
A new construction mitigation fee maybe requested for implementation in 2007. Details will be
presented to Council at a future meeting. The proposed fee would be applied to all new
construction projects with a valuation of $10 million or more. The fee will be used to fund
construction mitigation activities such as planning, traffic control, code enforcement, and
construction mitigation programs. Projects which are already approved but have not yet
submitted for a building permit, such as the Crossroads, Four Seasons, and Manor Vail would be
exempt from the fee as currently proposed. Revenue from this fee has not been included in the
2007 budget pending determination of fee structure by Community Development and approval by
Council.
Changes to PEC and DRB application fees may, also be proposed. These fees have not been
increased since 2001 and do not reflect the true cost of the process. No increases have been
included in the 2007 budget proposal.
Miscellaneous and Project Reimbursements - $70,000
This category includes potential rebates from Holy Cross Energy and reimbursement for shared
positions and other reimbursement agreements. Three items contributed to the reduction from
2006 to 2007. The Vail Resorts Development Company agreement to provide funding to support
a portion of incremental costs related to redevelopment has not been renewed; VRD is no longer
sharing a public relations position with the town; and reimbursements from the Solaris for legal
work will not recur in 2007.
EXPENDITURES - $26,533,916
Salary and Benefits
Approximately two-thirds of the town's expenditures for municipal services are salary and
benefits. The 2007 budget proposal includes aperformance-based merit increase pool averaging
5% of salaries. Staff feels this increase will prevent us from falling farther behind our comparator
group.
-2-
Changes Highlighted
In 2006, Council approved a strategic change in compensation for the fire student resident
program. Previously, students worked one 24-hour shift per week in exchange for tuition,
training, and living quarters. As of September 1, 2006, students are paid for all shifts worked and
pay rent to the town for quarters. This change is seen as the first step in an improved program to
recruit and retain firefighters. The 2007 budget includes an increase in seasonal salaries and also
in seasonal headcount, which is based on salaries. Although the students were on-board
previously, they were only included in the headcount for hours worked beyond the required one
shift a week.
Seasonal salaries and headcount have also increased for expanded bus service. The Commission
on Special Event (CSE) Coordinator, who was initially a contractor, will be converted to a regular
benefited position.
The 2007 budget proposal also includes a combined benefits rate of 37.2 % (40.3% for full time
regular employees and 10.4% for seasonal and part-time employees.) The full-time benefits rate
is approximately one percentage point higher than last year as a result of increased health care
costs. The seasonal rate is slightly lower than last year as a result of a change in some hourly
rates and in the wellness program to make the salary and benefit package equitable for seasonal
drivers and seasonal parking attendants.
Redevelopment
In 2005 and 2006, 12.23 FTE's were added as fixed-term employees to support various aspects of
redevelopment activity, including plan review, inspection, and traffic control. Fixed-term
positions .are intended to be in place only for the duration of a project. These positions will be
carried into 2007 to support the ongoing billion dollar renewal. In addition, the proposed budget
includes $247,000 for outsourced building inspection under contract with Colorado Inspection
Agency (CIA) for work on the Front Door and Mountain View (Apollo Park); $35,000 for CIA to
perform routine plan reviews two days a week; and $15,000 overtime for town employees to
perform plan review and inspection. We also have contracts with CIA for the Four Seasons and
the Ritz-Carlton; however, neither the building permit revenue nor the inspection costs are
included in the proposed budget pending submission of a building application for each.
Environmental Sustainability
As the town moves forward with an increased emphasis on environmental sustainability, staff is
requesting Council to approve an ordinance upon first reading November 21 identifying
environmental health as an allowable use of the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund revenue.
Therefore, the proposed General Fund budget for 2007 excludes costs of the Environmental
Health Department and environmental programs which were included in the General Fund in
previous years.
Economic Vitality
Staff is considering creation of a new department to collect costs in support of Economic Vitality.
Currently, these costs are included in three departments -the Town Manager's Department,
Community Information, and Contributions, Marketing and Special Events -and are recorded
alongside other expenditures not related to economic vitality. Collecting costs in one department
would allow staff to manage the available funds more effectively and to report results to Council
more easily. For 2007, proposed spending for Economic Vitality totals $1.3 million,
approximately the same amount as 2006, as shown on the enclosed schedule. Noteworthy
changes from 2006 include: dedicating a portion of the Communications and Special Projects
Manager specifically to Economic Vitality; reduction from $50,000 to $25,000 for town-wide
construction mitigation activities, including the climbing wall, buskers, shopping spree, etc., with
-3-
changes x~g~~ght~a
the expectation that construction in the most heavily impacted area will be nearing completion
next summer; and potential addition of the Commission on Special Events (CSE) Coordinator as
a town employee. The latter change is subject to further review and discussion with the CSE
Board. When the CSE was created, the coordinator was a contractor working under agreement
with the CSE Board. As the CSE has evolved and the coordinator has taken on additional hours,
a change in arrangements to a TOV benefited employee is under consideration. Funds are
provided in the current budget for such a change.
Contributions
With the creation of the Economic Vitality department, contributions that support economic
vitality, the visitor centers, and all special events would be included in the Economic Vitality
department. Remaining General Fund contributions would include three categories -education,
recreation, and contracts/arrangements. Examples of contribution recipients are: Eagle Valley
Child Care, Vail Valley Exchange, Vail Valley Athlete Committee, Channel 5, and Youth
Recognition Award.
All Other Operating Expenditures
This category of expenditure reflects a 3% increase overall, with more substantial in~rPaseg ;n
utility costs and the addition of heat for streetscape offset by reductions in other areas.
CAPIT~.I. PROJECTS FUND
REVENUE - $6,539,300
Sales tax is the primary revenue source for capital projects. For 2007, $6,308,500 or 37% of the
town's projected sales tax revenue is allocated the Capital Projects Fund.
PROJECT EXPENDITURES - $7,887x300
In addition to ongoing capital maintenance, noteworthy projects for 2007 include:
• Streetscape - $1,100,000 for continuation of West and east Meadow Drive plus $1,180,000
for continuation of hear on East Meadow Drive
• Fire Truck Rebuild/Refurbish - $588,000 includes $245,000 for the final payment for a new
pumper currently under construction; $43,000 for an Amkus unit and tools for the new
pumper; and $300,000 for refurbishment of a ladder truck. The ladder truck is currently out
of commission and, at the time of the November 21 submission of the 2007 capital budget,
staff was trying to accelerate refurbishment to 2006 and would have included the item in the
2006 supplemental. The manufacturer was nat able to accommodate the .acceleration,
however, so the work is once again planned for 2007.
• Town of Vail planning - $150,000 added as a placeholder for additional work to be done as
an outcome of the Vail 2020 process now underway; may include updates to Vail Village
master plan and/or Vail land use plan
• Interactive inspection system - $65,000 ($47,000 software and $18,000 hardware) to improve
building inspection process and provide customer access to inspection information residing in
the existing Permits-Plus system; annual software maintenance of $7,300 begins in 2008
• Public safety radio amplification system - $50,000 added for purchase of amplification
system in the Village parking structure; assures communication of emergency service
providers within and outside the structure; complies with proposed ordinance establishing a
"Life Safety Standard" for public safety communications
• Fire suppression in computer rooms - $35,500 added to protect public safety computer
equipment
• Expansion Vehicles
-4-
Changes Highlighted
- Code Enforcement Officer (CEO} vehicle - $22,300 for fully-equipped CEO truck;
increases CEO vehicles to four shared by eight officers on patrol and assigned to the
construction/special events work team; needed until major redevelopment is complete
and will not be replaced thereafter
- Public Works vehicle - $22,500 for new utility truck to be used by Facilities department;
old flatbed truck will be re-assigned to landscapers to improve efficiency.
REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX (RETT) FUND
REVENUE - $8,654,970
The primary revenue source for this fund is the 1 % real estate transfer tax, accounting for
$8,179,952 in projected revenue for 2007. Additional funding is provided by the golf course
lease with Vail Recreation district (VRD); recreational amenities fees assessed on new residential
square footage; and cost-sharing with VRD on ADA compliance and GreenPlay. The transfer tax
revenue projection includes $2.6 million in 2007 from large development projects including
Arrabelle, Forest Place, One Willow Bridge, Vail Plaza Hotel, and Westhaven Condos.
F,XPENDITTTRFS - $7;47:1;930
Use of the RETT Fund is restricted by ordinance to parks, recreation, and open space. Council
will be asked to approve an ordinance upon first reading on November 21 expanding the use to
include environmental sustainability.
In addition to ongoing maintenance items and park/path development, the following noteworthy
items are included in the proposal:
• 2.5 full-time equivalent positions are added for landscaping and park maintenance as a result
of increased services, particularly at Donovan Park. Although dollars were budgeted for
Donovan Park maintenance in prior years, the positions were not added until appropriate
staffing levels were determined.
• Streetscape - $920,000 for continuation of the Meadow Drive project.
• Environmental sustainability - $250,000 to fund programs and staffing for wind power; green
programs; recycling, etc.; contingent upon approval of the above-mentioned ordinance
change.
• Public Art - $75,000 for artwork remains at the same level as prior years per Council's
direction on November 21. An additional line item of $66,000 for Art in Public Places covers
salary, benefits and operating expenses for the AIPP program.
• Bear-proof containers - $180,000 added to 2007 to allow for the purchase of containers
compliant with the new ordinance.
• Recreation master planning with VRD - $50,000 each as a placeholder for implementation of
the GreenPlay recommendations, starting with updating the leases and operating agreements
between the town and the Vail Recreation District.
• Turf top dresser - $12,000 for equipment to pull behind an existing tractor to top dress turf
with sand and organics; suitable for spaces unable to be reached by larger equipment.
VAIL MARKETING FUND
Business license fees provide the revenue for this fund, which is restricted to marketing Vail.
Revenue is expected to be flat with the 2006 budget as a result of fewer business licenses being
issued during redevelopment. Accordingly, expenditures for marketing through the Commission
on Special Events (CSE) are flat at $280,000.

Changes Highlighted
DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund is used to manage principal and interest. on the town's outstanding debt. Funds are
transferred from the Capital Projects Fund to meet annual debt service requirements and to cover
the next upcoming principal and interest payments on the 1998 and 2002B bonds.
HEAVY EQUIPMENT FUND
This is an internal services fund that manages the maintenance and repair of town vehicles and
equipment and the purchase of replacement vehicles other than buses and fire trucks. Costs are
charged back to departments using the vehicles and equipment. A 7% increase in costs is
attributable to higher fuel costs and an increase in the amount of funds being set aside for future
vehicle replacements.
HF. A T ,TH iNSTTR AN(''E. FTTI~Ti)
This internal services fund manages the costs of providing health and short-term disability
insurance to employees. Net costs are charged to departments as employee benefits. Since the
town is self-insured on these items, a sufficient fund balance is maintained to absorb
extraordinary claims.
DISPATCH SERVICES FUND
This is an enterprise fund, e.g., more than half of its revenue is from sources outside of the town,
managing emergency communication for all of Eagle County. The county and 911 Board
currently funds six dispatcher positions and a systems engineer. The 911 Board has agreed to
fund an additional dispatcher position for 2007 in response to the increasing county population.
The fund balance is to provide a capital reserve fund for future communications center needs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: .Vail Town Council
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: December 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Discussion on the Application of the Town's Adopted Residential Design
Guidelines as they Pertain to Duplex and Multi Family Development
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The purpose of the discussion with.Town Council is to:
1. Review the adopted Town policy that requires residential buildings to have uniform
design and compatible materials throughout a structure;
2. Provide direction to staff on whether this policy should remain as adopted or be
amended.
II. BACKGROUND
The current adopted policy for the development of residential structures within the Town
of Vail is outlined in Section 14-10-6: Residential Development, as follows:
A. The purpose of this section is fo ensure that residential development be designed in a
manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site development.
Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure, except as set
forth in subsection 8 of this secfion, with the use of unified architectural and landscape
design. A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create
enclosed space substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design
.shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural
style scale roof forms massing architectural details, site grading and landscape
materials and features.
This policy has led duplexes and multi-family development to have uniformity in design,
with common building materials, decking, railing, fenestration elements, paint colors, and
roofing materials, etc. When new development occurs, the policy requires that an entire
structure utilize uniform design and materials. For example, a new multi-family building
cannot have wood railing on half the building and steel railing on the other half. A duplex
cannot have round windows on one side with rectangular windows on the other.
However, when applications are submitted for the renovation of a duplex, there are rare
cases where the Design Review Board has allowed a duplex owner to renovate their
side of the duplex with new materials while the other half remains with original materials.
This has led to some duplexes looking like two separate structures, which goes against
the intent of the adopted policy. Most multi-family buildings have covenants that require
uniformity of design, but in many cases, these covenants are overlooked, amended, or
do not exist. Another example is of amulti-family building where one owner would like to
change their windows and decking, or perhaps bump out their unit. This creates a break
in the uniformity of the building and is generally denied by the Design Review Board.
The lack of consistency in enforcement of this adopted policy has led Staff to request a
discussion with the Town Council to inquire on whether this policy should remain as
enacted or be amended.
III. HOW OTHER COMMUNITIES ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
Other communities are dealing with this issue in the following ways:
The City of Aspen and Pitkin County treat duplex owner aesthetic issues as a civil
matter and do not require that building materials match. However, many Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) have covenants that require uniform materials in a development.
Avon requires that duplexes be built with uniform development and compatible
materials. Chapter 4 of the Avon Design Review Guidelines state, "Duplex
developments must be designed in a manner that creates an integrated structure on the
site. Two single-family residences `bridged' by a breezeway or other non-structural and
non-habifable connection does not meet the intent of a duplex design. Unified design
shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural
style, scale, massing, detail, roof forms, and landscaping. -While `mirror image' duplexes
are not supported, the design intent should be one that creates a unified structure with
enough variety and architectural interest to distinguish a duplex from a single family
home."
Beaver Creek defines a duplex in their Design Guidelines as "one multi-family project
consisting of two residences within an architecturally integrated structure." The
Guidelines require duplexes to utilize uniform building and roofing materials in order to
create uniformity in structures. No exceptions are allowed fo this rule.
Breckenridge has policy #5 in their Design Standards Handbook that states, "all
proposed new developments, alterations, or additions are strongly encouraged to be
architecturally compatible." Since their approval process uses a point system, a duplex
with matching materials will gain positive points white a duplex with dissimilar materials
will receive negative points that may be mitigated through adeed-restriction, increased
landscaping or other additional improvement.
Telluride allows owners to have different materials on building and roof when the units
have different frontages. When both entrances are on the same frontage, duplexes are
required to look as one uniform structure.
Whistler requires that duplexes be designed to look like two different structures rather
than one uniform structure. Therefore, they require different materials, as well as
different architectural style. However, the Whistler Village Design Guidelines state
"materials must be compatible to those of adjoining buildings."
IV. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
1. Conduct a policy discussion regarding the application of the Residential
Design Guidelines as they pertain to duplex and multi-family development uniform
roofing materials and provide Staff with direction on whether this policy is still
relevant to the Town Code.
The PROS to keeping the adopted policy intact and enforced are:
1. There will be no discretion to enforcing this policy. All residential structures, whether
new or improved, will be required to comply with this policy. This will alleviate any
confusion or feeling of special treatment.
2. Since there are many duplexes and multi-family buildings within the Town, this issue
arises often and needs to be resolved.
3. In some cases, the intent to replacing building materials is for fire safety reasons.
However, the goal of a safer building through fire rated materials will not be achieved
when only one-half of a structure utilizes the fire rated materials. The entire structure
would need to utilize a higher fire rated material, or else the goal of a safer structure
is not achieved.
4. If some buildings are allowed to utilize incompatible materials, this could erode the
policy even further, which could result in more buildings with unmatching materials.
The result is that of Idaho Springs townhomes, where there are lines created down
the party walls of the building from different paint colors.
5. In the event that duplexes are not required to renovate at the same time, but are
required to utilize the same materials when a renovation does occur, it is high
unlikely that the materials will matchafter one has weathered over time.
6. A policy allowing different building materials on individual duplex units contradicts the
existing policy and adopted regulations requiring consistent exterior building
materials for entire duplex structures, regardless of multiple ownership.
7. The policy change will create future code enforcement challenges for the Town.
The CONS of keeping the adopted policy intact and enforced are:.
1. Duplex owners generally renovate at the same time so this may not be a major
issue.
2. In the case of multi-family buildings, most HOAs regulate materials and design of
buildings within the Association so this type of aesthetic issue could be left to the
HOA. However, the Town of Vail is not party to these covenants. In addition, HOAs
do not exist for duplexes in most cases and would not have covenants regulating
design and materials.
3. This policy is onerous on duplex and multi-family building unit owners. Allowing
duplex owners to renovate at different times will provide convenience for the
applicant and will not require that duplex owners coordinate their remodel projects.
4. If the policy is changed to allow new buildings to utilize incompatible materials, the
two units will look like two separate buildings that happen to be attached. This will
provide for a new aesthetic feel of our duplex areas of Town.

Zoning Regulations
On August 7, 1973, the Vail Town Council enacted Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1973,
adopting the Zoning Regulations for the Town of Vail and dividing the Town into twelve
zone districts, including the Residential Cluster zone district. Since the time of adoption,
Staff has identified the following changes made to the Residential Cluster zone district
which effect conditional uses allowed within the district:
Chapter 12-6E-3 (Conditional Uses):
^ Ord. 33, 2003: Funiculars and other similar conveyances (added)

institutional /public uses such as parks and open space, churches and fire stations;
and
The community office category includes primarily office uses of all types. Some
limited commercial uses, such as retail businesses; including general merchandise,
apparel and accessories and auto service facilities would also be permitted.

V. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria and factors for consideration for a text amendment application are
established by the provisions of Section 12-3-7, Amendments, Vail Town Code.
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific
purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and,
The general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations are prescribed in
Section 12-1-2, Purpose, of the Vail Town Code. The following purposes are
listed in Section 12-1-2,
"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 ifs natural environment and its established
character as a resort and residential community of high quality.
Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more
specific purposes:
1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public
facilities.
2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of
snow, and other dangerous conditions.
3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic
circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets.
4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off-street parking and
loading facilities.
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and
economic values.
6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among
land uses, consistent with Municipal development objectives.
7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the
land with structures.
8. To safeguard and enhance fhe appearance of the Town.
9. To conserve and protect wildlife, sfreams, woods, hillsides, and other
desirable natural features.
10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other
amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters.
11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable
community. "
This request is for an amendment to only the Conditional Uses section of the
Residential Cluster zone district, and a process for review of specific requests to
5
locate Professional Offices or Business Offices within this district is still
applicable. Therefore, Staff believes that each of the above-described purposes
of the Zoning Regulations will be evaluated at the time that such request is
made.
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 proposed text amendment is an effort to allow for specific review of
Professional Offices or Business Offices within the Residential Cluster zone
district. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and .believes the following
goals, objectives and policies are applicable to the proposed text amendment:
1. General Growth /Development
1.1 Vail 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.
1.12Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
Staff believes that it is compatible with the adopted goals, objectives, and policies
outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town provided that each request complies with the Uses and
Criteria outlined in Section 12-16-7, above.
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,
An increasing shortage of commercial real estate exists within the Town which is
a condition which Staff believes has changed since the formation of the
Residential Cluster zone district in 1974. To exclude this zone district of the light
pedestrian and automobile traffic associated with Professional Offices and
Business Offices is no longer applicable to the Town's stated desires to keep
residents living and working in the Town of Vail. In fact, the provision to request
a Conditional Use Permit for such uses may actually encourage the live/work
combination of uses which has proved so beneficial to the livelihood of so many
other communities.
4. The extent to which the text .amendment provides a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent
with municipal development objectives; and,
If approved, this amendment provides the opportunity fora harmonious,
convenient, and workable relationship among land use regulations by allowing
professional offices and business offices to be located with the Residential
Cluster zone district, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. Prior to
granting a conditional use permit for a business or professional office in the
6
district, the applicant must demonstrate compliance with the proposed use
specific criteria outlined in Section 12-16-7 of the Vail Town Code.
5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission and/or Council deems
applicable to the proposed text amendment.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning &
Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval of the text
amendment to Section 12-6E-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow
"Professional Offices" and "Business Offices" as Conditional Uses within the Residential
Cluster zone district. Staff's recommendation of approval is based upon~the review of
the criteria outlined in Section V of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony
presented.
Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation
of approval of this text amendment to the Vail Town Council, staff recommends that the
following finding be made as part of the motion,
"Upon review of the text amendment to Section 12-6E-3, Conditional Uses, Vail
Town Code, to include Professional Offices and Business Offices as conditional
uses within the Residential Cluster zone district and setting forth details in regard
thereto, the Commission finds that the amendment complies with each of the
criteria listed in Section V of the memorandum to the Planning & Environmental
Commission, dated November 13, 2006."

What is ECObuild?
ECObuild is the Eagle County Efficient Building Code. The intent of the
ECObuild program is to encourage cost-effective sustainable building
methods to create durable, energy efficient structures that conserve natural
resources, promote the efficient use of building materials, and improve
indoor air quality. Eagle County has developed apoints-based code to assist
home builders in creating structures that cost less to occupy, have healthier
interior environments, and create less impact during construction. The
amount of points required for a project is dependent upon the size of the
dwelling unit being applied for.
What building permits apply?
ECObuild applies to all new residential R3 (single family, duplex, and ',
townhouse) construction per the currently adopted building code, as well as
additions/reconstruction over 50% of the existing floor area, and exterior
energy uses such as snowmelt, spas, and pools over sizes listed in Section
8.0. The completed ECObuild checklist must be submitted along with the
subject building permit application. Mobile Home units that are approved by
Colorado Department of Housing are exempt.
How does the process work?
Submit the ECObuild checklist with your building permit application. Items
on the checklist will be inspected as part of the normal inspection process.
At TCO/CO, if you have earned more points than required for compliance,
you may be eligible for a building permit rebate. Conversely if at TCO/CO
you have failed to meet the minimum point requirements for the size of
home you are constructing, an ECObuild fee would be assessed. See Point `
Requirements section of the checklist for more details.
