Applicant: Town of Vail, represerrted by Greg Hall
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Denied
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Proper VOTE: 4-2-0 (Kurz and Tjossem opposed)
Warren Campbell presented a summary of the proposal and the Staff memorandum.
Greg Hall provided background information concerning the current parking issues in Vail, and
then presented an overview of the temporary parking proposal. He noted that the Parking Task
Force's goals are to promote reductions in the community's parking demands and to increase
the supply of an additional 400 parking spaces in Vail. He provided an overview of the other
options explored by the Task Force and noted the challenges for the local bus services due to a
lack of visas for previous intemational bus drivers. Greg Hall also discussed the recently held
neighborhood meeting, at which no neighbors voiced support for the project.
Commissioner Proper asked Greg Hall to name the members of the parking task fores. Greg
identified the members.
Commissioner Kurz asked if any other s.ites could accommodate this number of parking spaces
and quested what is being proposed for exterior lighting.
Greg Hall noted that Ford Park was the other large parcel; however, it had challenges such as
damage to the park imgation system and potential conflicts with early spring athletic events. He
added that the proposed parking lot would not be lit at night.
Page 1
Commissioner Kurz noted concem about temporary uses remaining permanent. He noted the.
"strarige° situation where there may or may not be temporary, may.or may not be secure, -since it
is unknown who is paying for the project, who and how it is being maintained. He recommended
reviewing a financial plan for the project before further review. In general he believes the site is
the right location for the use: ' Commissioner Paladino reinforced that maintenance and management will determine the
success of the p"roject. She also noted concem about safety with the lack of lighting.
Commission& Tjossem noted tFie goal to provide more parking for our guests, since we all live
i and die based upon tourism. She has concerns about the gravel sucface, can the use be limited
times to reduce nighttime safety concems, and the lot be fenced to prevent pedestriaris. on .
Chamonix, can the lot be gated and fees charged.- She views the ski season as an event.and we
need additional event parking. She noted concern about who is paying for. what part of the
(project and how will it be managed. In general she would like to see more parking and this is an
appropriate lot for such a use. Commissioner Proper noted that the use is not compatible with the neighborhood period. He '
noted that gravel lots af A-Basin and Copper are in very industrial, not residential neighborhood.
Commissioner Viele noted this is a monumentally bad idea that abandons the Town's own
development rules and places the burderi on this neighborhood. The proposal would be a grant
of special privilege and would not be compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
Commissioner Viele tecommended denial of all three applications.
Commissioner Proper seconded the motion. -Commissioner Pierce had no further comment.
2. A request for a final review of a variance from Section 12-6E-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Code,

TO: Town Council
FROM: Community. Development DATE: August 19, 2008
SUBJECT: . Proposed Employee Housing Unit Exchange Program
; I. Introduction As previously discussed at the July 1,. 2008„ Town Council work session, the
establishment of a deed restriction "exchange" program will allow_ owners of a
, deed restricted. employee housing unit attached to their home to remove the
. existing deed restriction and exchange it for a deed resfricted unit conveyed to
the Town of Vail elsewhere in Town. The goal of an exchange program is to
provide deed restricted housing for employees fo purchase., The establishment
•of an "exchangen program is an action. step. that has been identified in the draft
Strategic Housing Plan.
II. Backqround At the June 3, 2008, Town Council meeting Staff was directed to provide Town
Council with various exchange options for these deed restricted units, keeping in
mind the goal is employees living in the units. At the July 1, 2008, Town Council
meeting Staff was directed to bring back.a-proposed exchange formula the Vail
Local Housing Authority recommends.
. The purpose of this program is fo allow owners of deed-restricted' employee
housing units to exchange the : existing deed-restricted unit for another unit -
elsewhere in the Town of Vail. • :
This program, shall apply to. all non-appreciation capped, deed-restricted -
employee housing units in the Town of Vail that are attached to a private
residence and are not required by the Town's.Zoning Regulations.
Numerous exchange options have been proposed and discussed over time.
, . There are two distinct ideas that are generally discussed. The first is to establish
a strict formula for the exchange program and the other is to negotiate with each
owner.
A. Establish a Uniform Formula based on Square Feet. or.Value
a. Pros ~ .
i. Easy to administer. and calculate. ,
ii. Easy to establish a monetary value to collect revenue
iii. Do not have to.allow a payment in lieu of a unit
iv. Eliminates negotiations -
1
J
}
b. Cons _
i. Does not provide housing for.employees.simultaneous with the
ezchange
ii. May not take into account varying value
iii. Establishing a source for the value may be difficult
iv. Collecting revenue places the burden on the Town to create a
new deed restricted unit. ,
c. Include an adminisfrative. fee to ,cover the closing 'costs. related to .
acquiring and then,re=selling the unit
B. Establish General Guidelines -
- a. Pros : " . .
i. Takes into account va_rying values ii. Do not have to allow payment in lieu of a unit
_ b.: Cons i. More difficult to administer and calculate.
ii. More difficult to establish a monetary value to collect revenue
1. Does not provide housing for`employees simultaneous
. with the exchange
2. Collecting revenue places the burden on the Town to -
create a new deed restricted unit .
. iii. Opens-#he process up to negotiations' -
iv: - Perception of inequality
c. Include an administrative fee to cover the closing. costs related to
acquiring and then re-selling the unit
C. NeQOtiafe Each Exchanqe _
a. Pros i. Defines the value of each transaction
- 1. Each owner has their own motivations and . each unit
has a different~value to the-Town of Vail ,
ii. May collect revenue or housing units .
b. Cons "
i. Revenue does. not provide housing for employees simultaneous with the exchange
ii. Negotiations take time iii. Perception of inequality
- • iv. Opens the process up to negotiations c. Include an administrative fee to cover the closing costs related to
acquiring and then re-selling the unit Town Council has previously, recommended Staff incorporate the following
requirements for all exchanges: -
2
.
? Verification by the property owner that the.subject,propert y will remain or
will be brought into compliance with the Town's Zoning Regulations.
? If. the deed restricted unit is provided to meet _another regulatory
. requirement.(i.e., Commercial Linkage or:lnclusionary Zoning) that the '
other requirement(s) will still be fully satisfied.
? The proposed exchange unit is not part of a homeowners association that precludes deed restricted units, has a,: Right-of-First-Refusal, Right to,
Approve the Sale or the Sale Contract or another requirement similar to
this. These types of requirements frustrate the deed restriction and vice-
versa.
? Any proposed-exchange unit,is approved by the Town of Vail Staff for
condition of the unit and overall expense. of the unit. The assumption
, being a proposed exchange unit would be approved, but may be rejected
based on findings related to the pr,operty's condition or maintenance
expenses.
? If there are negotiations, they are negotiated between the property owner
and the Vail Local Housing Authority. The Housing Authority would, then
forward a recornmendation to. the Town Council for authorization to
, . exchange the deed restricted units.
The exchange program is not available to any owner who has purchased
- , a unit that the Town of Vail has been involved in creating (i.e., Va"il
Commons, Nocth Trail, dispersed buy downs, etc.)
? All units acquired by the Town thru the exchange program shall be deed. .
restricted with a 3% annual price appreciation cap. The Town would then
• sell the unit to a qualified buyer.
III. Description of Request
~ The Housing Authority and Staff are requesting policy direction from the Town
Council regarding the selection of the methodology used to adopt the employee
housing exchange program.. There are three possible methods to establish the .
proposed employee housing exchange program. Each method has pros and
cons which are enumerated as follows:
A. Adoption by Ordinance.
Pros:
? Public hearing process
? Legally binding and enforceable
? An open public record ? Readily available to.the public
? Formalized policy , - ? Clearly identified requirements . ,
? Clearly stated' objectives , : , . • _ ,
? Longevity 3
.
? Amendable
? Incorporated into Zoning Regulations with other EHU requirements
Cons:
? Longer amendment process (requires PEC recommendation
and finro readings by Council)
? Legally binding and enforceable
B. Adoption by Resolution
Pros:
? Limited public hearing process
? A public record
? Available to the public
? Formatized policy
? Clearly identified requirements
? Clearly stated objectives
? Longevity
? Quicker to Amend (one reading by Council)
Cons:
? May be less binding and enforceable than an Ordinance
• ? Less open public record
? Less readily available to the public
? Not incorporated into Zoning Regulations with other EHU
requirements
C. Written Policy
Pros:

? Clearly stated objectives
? Quickest to amend (administrative)
Cons:
? No public hearings required
? Variable (no longevity)
? Least legally binding and enforceable
? Least open public record
? Least readily available to the public
? Not incorporated into Zoning Regulations with other EHU
requirements
IV. Housina Authoritv and Staff Recommendation
The Vail Local Housing Authority and the Community Development Department
recommend the Town Council direct Staff to draft an ordinance, for future Council
review, establishing the employee housing unit exchange program based upon
previous policy discussions and direction.
4
V: Next Steps
A. Establish a general formula for proposed exchanges, but allow for flexibility
based on the merits of each unit and deed restriction. B. Discourages payment of a fee-in-lieu for units, that , tequire employee
occupancy as it does not achieve the goal of housing employees.
C. Establish an administrative fee that covets all of the Town's costs related to -
purchasing. and selling an exchange unit. This should include,. but is not. limited to: tifle insurance, closing fees, home owner's association fees, deed
• restriction - recording fees, and staff 'time (Town Attorney, Housing
Coordinator, Finance Department).
D. Establishes a per, unit fee to remove deed restrictions that do not require the .
unit to be occupied by an employee. Any funds collected should be
dedicated to creating new deed restricted employee housing.

part of redevelopment projects (Solaris and Four Seasons). While these projects
are under construction, it is an opportunity to establish the infrastructure for
traffic/parking management signs in the frontage road medians. In add'ition,
signs deferred to later years include locations.such as LionsHead, Ever Vail, and
East Vail (total cost of $265K over two years). ,
• Costs for the new West Vail Fire Station are currently estimated at $5.52 million
over two years (based on estimates provided by Stan Clauson & Assoc.). : This
project is listed within the. "Unfunded" portion of the exhibit because there are
many details that still need to be worked out, including a close analysis of cost
estimates and downstteam operating effects.
• In the plan presented on August 19; reconstructions of the East Vail and Main
Vail fire stations (at $2M each) were included in the proposed 2009 5-year plan..
However, staff has reverted these requests back to the renovations originally
reviewed by Council during the 2008 budget process. The Main Vail station had
been recommended at $975K.for 2010, and the East Vail sfation (at $775K) was
on the unfunded list for 2012. 1
New items were requested from staff since the last meeting and are currently
being considered:
• Police "Coplink" system for 2009, at a cost of $85,000 (pre-negotiations). This
cost may be offset with a$25K federal grant, and would be funded from the
Dispatch Services Fund. The system would allow the town to participate in an
"information sharing consortium° with 8 other agencies within the state. The
shared data would provide coordinated information on criminals and crime
trends.
• A variable message sign to be used from the back of a code enforcement vehicle
for a portable method of traffic and parking messaging. There is no cost
information at this time.
• Replacement of the county-wide emergency personnel radio system is planned
within the next finro years for a total cost of approximately. $7M. The Town
currently uses 33% of the services (Fire and Police), and would be responsible
for approximately $2.3M of that total.
RETT Fund
• The Ford Park Soccer Field Parking Lot is currently budgeted at $375K to
reconstruct the lot with porous asphalt (reduces the amount of runoff into the
creek). Normal reconstruction would cost $280K and just an overlay would cost
$100K. Due to the size of the parking lot, this project would serve as a test for
the porous asphalt's use within the community -and its functionality at high
alfitude.
• The Vail Valley Drive bike path is currently budgeted at $1.3M to create a bike
path at the same time as the road reconstruction. The plans for this path include
a concrete walk ($310K), retaining walls ($275K), road base ($130K), traffic
control ($112K) and other costs related to landscape/irrigation, guardrails,
lighting, etc.
Vail Reinvestment Authoritv (VRA)
The VRA five-year projection is presented for the first time now that good revenue
estimates are available and the North Day Lot has been proposed as a potential TIF-
funded project.
2009 revenue from incremental property tax collections within the LionsHead Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) District is based upon the latest assessment iriformation from
the Eagle County Assessor's Office received last week. Revenue in subsequent years
includes increases due to construction of the Ritr Carlton Residences, the Landmark,
and Lions Square Lodge, all of which are underway. Assessed valuations are assumed
to increase by just 5% every finro years. Potential revenue from Strata (Fogata),
LionsHead Parking Garage, or other developments are not included. The North Day Lot
is included as the only capitat project to be funded from TIF revenues at this time. An
estimated project cost of $18.6 million is included over four years. Funding for the North
Day Lot Project includes: $12 million in TIF bonds; $1.4 million of a Federal Transit
2
Administration grant that has already been awarded; and $5.2 million in cash from the
incremental property tax revenues. Additional funding for the North Day Lot ftom federal,
state, and county grants has not been included due to the uncertainty of those sources.
In addition to the North Day Lot, approximately $15 million of bond financing from current
projects could be available beginning in 2012. Projects previously identified as
appropriate for TIF financing from revenue generated by existing projects include:
Fronta e Road Im rovements $15.0 million
East LionsHead Portal 3.0
East LionsHead Circle 1.0
Parking Structure Enhancements 5.0
if redevelo ment does not o forward
Future redevelopment projects such as the LionsHead Parking Structure, Ever Vail,
Strata (Fogata) and others in the LionsHead area could support future public
infrastructure improvements needed if those projects move forward. The LionsHead TIF
District was approved in June 2005 and has a 25 year life ending in 2030.
NEXT STEPS
Staff will use Council's input in developing the Town Manager's budget (includes
General, Capital, RETT and other funds), which will come before Council as a
preliminary discussion on September 16th.
The VRA budget resolution will be presented on October 21st.

MEMORANDUM
To: Town Council
From: Kathleen Halloran
Date: August 28, 2008
Subject: Supplemental Appropriation
On Tuesday evening you will be asked to approve the fust reading of Ordinance No. 19 ma.king
supplemental appropriations and adjustments to the 2008 budget. We have also set aside time for
discussion in the afternoon work session and aze attaching the following information for your review:
• Second Supplemental Appropriation Request of 2008
• Statements of Revenue, Expenditure, and Changes in Fund Balance including the second
supplemental
• Ordinance No. 19
• Memo from Public Works regarding greenhouse proposal
General Fnnd
We aze recommending budget adjustments to increase revenue only where year-to-date receipts are
favorable to the original budget such as construction permit fees ($328K), street cut fees ($lOSK), road
and bridge ($260K), parking fines ($44K) and property tax collections ($450K). Per Council's request,
the property tax collections over the 2008 budgeted amount will be transferred to the Capital Projects
Fund, net of treasurer fees ($9K).
Adjustrnents to expenditures include: out-of-cycle contributions of $58K (approved on June 17); a
reduction of contributions by $150K with the cancellation of the Intemational Cycle Classic; a pass through of expenses for the NW Incident Management Team's deployment to Alamosa; and additional
CASTA dues relating to our participation in a transit lobbyist group that secured federal grant money for
a new transit center.
There were several adjustments to staffing and overtime accounts, specifically for Fire, Transit and Street
Maintenance. The Fire Department overtime account has required budget supplements for the past
several years due to staffing challenges and short term disability circumstances. The same challenges
were presented in 2008, a.nd the vacant schedules were filled with personnel qualified for those positions,
resulting in overtime at higher pay rates than if a resident student was used to fill the slot. Looking
forward, the 2009 budget will reflect a more accurate overtime analysis. There are two reasons for
staffing and overtime increases for the Transit department: losing our H213 Visa (returning) employees
has resulted in an increase in pay rates (to help recnut bus drivers), additional staff time for traini.ng
(approximately 80 hours per new driver) and a potential staffing shortage this winter; charter services
created some overtime expense but is offset by additional revenue. The street maintenance crews have
additional overtime from the heavy snowfall this past spring.
Snowfall also accounts for overages in both the cinders and contract labor accounts. The contract labor
line item includes contracts for snow removal (both shoveling and hauling). These costs were somewhat
offset by Vail Resort's reimbursement for snow removal around Arrabelle (the incomplete portion of
snowmelt last winter).
Other chauges are outlined in the attached spreadsheet.
080902 2ad Supp _ 1 _
; .
Caoifal Proiects.Fnnd Increases to reyenue include property tax collections totaling $441K (transferred from the General Fund),
Use Tax collections of $490K and Employee Housing Fee-in-Lieu revenue of. $168K. Other revenue
adjusfinents relate to reimbursed pmject expenses and are offset by those expenditures: Coimty Grant of
„ $267K and Colorado l)epartment of Transportation (CDOT) reimbursement of $95K offset the cost to
_ install , fiber cable along .I-70 (total cost of $909K); Four Seasons, Solaris and Lionsridge Loop
homeowrieis are reimbursiag the town for costs relating to streetscape projects and underground utilities; ,
the Dispatch'Fund is contributing $75K to be used toward the new generator in the municipal building.
Other. adjustments to expenditures include the delay of purchasing a.fire truck for the new West Vail Fire
Station ($520K) until plans for that station are finalized, an eme=gency repair to the heating system at
Donovan _Pavilion ($13K) and a reduction of $35K in debt service payments due. to refinancing of tfie
town's 1998A bonds. Real.Estate Transfer Taz (RETZ) Fnnd .
There were no adjustments to tax collection revenue with a$1 M reduction taken earlier this year and
curient collections exceeding prior year by-39%. The only adjustment to revenue is a reunbursement for,
deployment of three Forest Health firefighters to the fires in Califorriia (offset• by expenses).
There were three.projects that had significant savings: Katsos Ranch bike path ($200K), Meadow Drive .
streetscape ($200K), and legal fees for Vail Recreation District agreements ($99K).
Other adjustments to expenditures include $270K (for a total projeot cost of $370K) to expand the size .
and functionality of a new greenhouse in order to accommodate the increased volume of flowers from
streetscape additions (please see attached memo from Public Works) and a$20K off-cycle contnbution
awarded to Betty Ford Alpine Gardens to be used towazd the replacement of three bridges.
Disnatch Services Fund The E911 Board has contributed $25K to be used for the new emergency generator at the municipal
'building (which will serviee both the Dispatch center and other critical aiunicipal operations). By
' utilizing another $SOK of the Dispatch' Services fund balance; a total of $75K will be transferred to the
Capital Projects Fund to contribute toward that project. .
Health Insnrance Fand
Revenue was increased, by $91.5K to reflect reimbursements from our stop loss carrier. Although the
town is self-insured, we purchase. stop loss insurance to cover claims that cost more than $75K (pe= _
. claim). Claims expenditures are currently under budget, and no adjustment is required.
Heaw Eqniument Fund -
Fuel expense has'been increased by $212K to reflect both significant price increases as_ well :as increased
usage from the heavy snowfall this spring (additional trips with the snow plows and removal equipment).
Othervvise, . the only change to ttus fund is an accounting adjustment to reflect both the expense and
reimbursement for warranty work completed on a fire truck. ,
Debt Service Fund .
These adjustments reflect the refinancing of the town's 1998A bonds.

Ordinance No.19, Series of 2008
Memorandum -
To: Stan Zemler From: Greg Hall
Date: August 22, 2008
RE: Request to increase budget for PW Greenhouse replacement.
The Phasing Plan for the Vail Public Works Maintenance Facility Master Plan was
approved by the PEC and DRB in August 1995. The Master Plan includes the
replacement of the existing greenhouse structure to accommodate expansion of the shop
building, to meet demands of an increased flower program, and is required due to the age
of the structure. Currently the greenhouse is used as a short term storage azea for annual bedding plants
which are grown and delivered by independent suppliers. The existing 20' x 70'
greenhouse is filled and emptied approximately 6 times during the spring planting season.
The existing greenhouse heating and cooling systems are operated during this period.
Heating and cooling systems are turned off for the majority of the summer and winter
months. In addition to the existing greenhouse, a temporary structure is erected using
plastic sheeting in space available between the shop building and the greenhouse. This
space is used April through June to grow flowers in containers and make them ready to
put in public areas just before July 4. The temporary plastic structure is heated with
inefficient space heaters and does not have a cooling system.
The Department of Public Works has carried forward a$100,000 1ine item for
greenhouse replacement in the RETT budget as part of the overall 1995 Master Plan. The
budget was intended to fund the cost of a 30' x'70' typical greenhouse structure. A
typical greenhouse structure does not have a full concrete foundation and has a gravel
floor.
Evaluation of the current nceds for the flower program has shown a more substantial
greenhouse structure is required due tb expansion of the flower bed and container
prograrn. The container planting part of the flower program has increased with the
addition of the Arrabelle pmject in Lionshead. The DIA for the project includes an
additional 12 to 15 medium to large flower containers on TOV property as the
responsibility of the town.
To efficiently and safely move large containers, they are placed on pallets and moved
with a forklift. To accommodate the equipment in the greenhouse the structure will need
a concrete floor with draina.ge inlets, a concrete foundation wall to protect the structure
from possible bumping and damage by the equipment or pots, overhead door, and a
higher ceiling. Spatial needs have increased from 2100 sf (projected in 1995) to 2800 sf
of greenhouse azea.
In addition to the increased cost of a larger, more substantial greenhouse structure there
are other costs associated with the project that were not anticipated in the original project
budget 13 years ago: These include electrical, water, and natural gas utility upgtades, -
storm sewer improyements; and storage pods to accommodate lost and increased storage
rieeds. . The total budget request is to increase the project budget form $100,000. to $370,000.
There are. funds in,
the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) budget allocated for projects in
, ~ wluch there were savings. Staff requests to transfer -$270,U00 of those funds from the
$400,000 savings on the Katsos Recreation Path and West Meadow Drive projects to the greenhouse project.
.
` The Department `of Public Works would like to begin construction of the greenhouse this
fall to have it re
ady for the 2009 spring planting season.

Additional Bonds may be payable solely from Pledged Revenues or they may be payable from -32-

J
Pledged Revenues and another revenue or fund of the Town ("Additional Pledged Revenues").
Regardless of whether payable solely from Pledged Revenues or from Pledged Revenues and

Year immediately preceding the issuance of any Additional Bonds, the amount of Pledged Sales Tax
Revenues in such Fiscal Year equaled or exceeded 150% of the Maximum Annual Debt Service
Requirement on the Bonds (including the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued). For the purpose
of satisfying the aforementioned 150% test, any tax, now existing or hereafter imposed, which
legally becomes a part of the Pledged Sales Tax Revenues during the Fiscal Year preceding the
issuance of Additional Bonds, or any tax which is to legally become a part of the Pledged Sales Tax
Revenues immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Bonds, or any increase in the rate of any
tax which is a part of the Pledged Sales Tax Revenues which increase is imposed during the Fiscal
Year preceding the issuance of Additional Bonds or any such increase which is to be imposed
immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Bonds can be considered for its estimated effect on
the amount of the Pledged Sales Tax Revenues as if such tax or increase had been in effect for the
Fiscal Year immediately preceding the issuance of such Additional Bonds. Any taac which is no
longer in effect at the time of issuance of the Additional Bonds shall not be considered for purposes
of satisfying such tests.

Pledged Revenues to the Bonds, the estimated effect of the amount of such Additional Pledged
Revenues may be considered as if such revenues had been received for the last Fiscal Year
immediately preceding the issuance of such Additional Bonds.
B. Certificate of Revenues. A written certification by a certified public
accountant who is not an employee of the Town that the requirements of Pazagraph A of this Section
have been met shall be conclusively presumed to be accurate in determining the right of the Town to
authorize, issue, sell and deliver said Additional Bonds on a parity with the 2008 Bonds herein
authorized.

construed in such a manner as to prevent the issuance by the Town of additional obligations payable

lien thereon prior or superior to the 2008 Bonds.

proceedings authorizing the issuance of any unrefunded portion of obligations payable from the
Pledged Revenues; but so long as any 2008 Bonds are Outstanding, refunding obligations payable

• Consistency with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution 4, Series
of 2007, amending ttle Lionshead Study Area Boundaries to include 1031
South Frontage Road West (See Attachment E; Map A Study Area). In

by the Lionshead Redevelopment Masfer Plan, specifically Sections 4.1,
4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9 and 5.17 stated above in Section III; Applicable Planning Documents. Therefore, this land use amendment provides consistency
between the Land Use Map and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master

. ,
. 1000 South Frontage Road West -"Glen Lvon Office .Buildin4°
o Land Use / Neighborhood Planning
The current land use designation of the Glen Lyon Office Building
property, Community Office, is defined, in the.Land Use Plan, as follows:
. ,-"This area is to include primarily office, uses of aH types. Some
limited. commercial uses, such : as retail businesses; induding
genera/ merchandise, apparel and accessories and auto service
facilities.would a/so be permifted." , The current designation does not. provide, site-specific guidance or
recommendations for development or redevelopment of the property .
beyond the above definition. Therefore, Staff believes that the proposed
land use amendment of the Glen Lyon Office Building to Lionshead ,
Redevelopment. Master Plan, consistent with.the adjacent properties, will
create a consistent framework for red'evelopment of this neighborhood by
bringing all three properties under, the standards and recommendations
set forth in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
• Connectivity .
, Staff belieyes the proposed land use amendment of the Glen Lyon Office
Building to Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, consistent with the -
adjacent properties, will guide development in a pattem of harmony that
- will facilitate visual and physical, connectivity between the properties. By `
creating a consistent pattem of land use in the neighbofiood,- the Town
will have more latitude to encourage and facilitate: connecfivity in site
. design through the following recommendations set forth in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan:
0 4.3.1 :Visual Connections - As development and.redevelopment
occur in Lionshead, it will be vital to protect visual connections to
the ski mountain. These visual relationships strengthen tfie
identity of Lionshead as an alpine resort and provide- a visual .
reference that helps Lionshead visitors to find their, way throught the core. Visual connection to the natural environment shou/d be
established utilizing the following techniques:.. 4.3.1.9 View
Corridors and 4.3.1.2 North-South Orientation of Buildings.
0 4.3.2 Physical Connections - Physical connecfions to the nafural
environment are essential to the experiential quality of a mountain resort.. There are several ways to achieve a physical connection
in addition to creating north-south oriented streets [such as].•
4.3.2.1 Landscape and Gr+een belt Corridors, 4.3.2.2 Skier Bridge,
and 4.3.2.3 Access to the South.Side of Gore Creek.
0 4.5 Public Transportation - An efficient`transit-system is critical fo
the character and environmental quality of any pedestrian-oriented
resort . Goa/s identified by the master plan regarding transit
include: - 4.5.1 Connection to West Lionshead (in part) The West
Lionshead properties ar+e at the outside edge of the accepta6/e
walking distance to the ski yard. .With a mixed use development in
the area which integrates a sld portal, " retail space, office space
3
. '
and residential development, `transit service to this area and
interconnections to the ofher portals will be critical to develop in
the future.
e Proximity to adjacent re-development / site design
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan calls for the re-alignment of
the soufh frontage road from the current location to a configuration
parallel to I-70, along the north property lines of the properties bcated at
: 1031 South Frontage. Road "Vail Professional Building" and 953 South
_ Frontage Road, "Vail Professional Building.° The proposed re-alignment
will facilitate a land swap befinreen CDOT and the property owners of
, 1031 and 953 South Frontage Road. The land swap will place the Glen
Lyon, Office building property (1000 South Frontage Road) directly
abutting 1031 and 953 South Frontage Road, where the properties are
today separated by the South Frontage Road Right-of-way.
- With the proposed development of "EverVail" abutting the Glen Lyon
Office Building property, as a result of the road re-alignment, Staff
believes the ctiange in land use designation for all three properties will facilitate consistent design and fluid development in the new planned
neighbofiood. The Glen Lyon Office Building property is unique in that
both Red Sandstone' Creek and Gore Creek are adjacent on east and
south sides. The land use change of the Glen Lyon Office Building will
provide an opportunity for improvements and community connections to
both waterways thru the stated guidelines set forth in the Lionshead
' Redevelopment Master Plan:
IV. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL. The Community. Development Department recommends that the Vail Town Council
approves Resolution No. 19, Series of 2008.
Should the Town Council choose to approve this land use plan map amendment

1. To articulate the land use goals of the Town.
2. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town.
The Vail Land Use Plan _ is intended to serve as a basis from which future land
use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulated
within the Land. Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted policy guidelines in
2
the review process,for new development proposals: In conjunction with these ,
goals,.land use categories, are defned to indicate general types of land uses
which are then used.to develop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is
not intended to be regulatory in nature, but, is intended to provide a general
framework to guide decision making. Where the land use categories and zoning
conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site.
The Vail Land Use Plan contains, the following goals:

LRMP_- Lionshead Redevelovmenf MasterPlan
lncluded in this category are those properties which are identified -as
being included in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan boundaries.
Properties located within this land use category shall be encouraged to
redevelop, per the Master' Plan recommendations, as it has been found
that it is necessary in order for Vail to remain a competitive four-season
resort. Uses and activities for these areas are intended fo encourage a
safe, convenient and an aesthetically-pleasing guest experience. The
range of uses and activities appropriate in the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan (LRMP) land use cafegory may include skier and resort
services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restmoms, ticket sa/es,
clubs, public p/azas, open spaces, parking and loading/delivery
facilities?structures, public utilities, residenfial, lodges, accommodation
units, deed restricted employee housing, retail businesses, professional .
and business ofrrces, personal services, and restaurant uses.
Sub-section 8:3.C of the Vail Land Use Plan outlines the amendments procedures for proposed changes to the Plan. The amendment process is one
which is intended to assure the Plan's effectiveness with periodic updates to reflect current thinking and changing maricet conditions. The process includes
amendments which may be initiated in any of the following three ways:
A. By the Communify DevelopmentDepartment :
8. By the Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council
C. By the Private Sector
6
Pursuant to Sub-section 8.3.A, in part, (an application initiated by the Community
Development Department), .
"The ~ Community Development Department should update and revise
the Plan every three to five years, whenever possible. However, if the
plan is not updated within such time frame;: this shall not jeopardize the
I validity. of the plan. This should include analysis of the goa/s and
poticies; update of the forecasting model._and review and revision of the
Land Use Pian map. The Community Development Department would
. then make recommendafion for proposed changes to tlie. P/anning and
Environmental Commission where these . cHanges . would then . be
considered in a public hearing format. The Planning and Environmental ,
Commission would then make recommendations to the Town Council,
which would also hold a public hearing on the proposed changes. lf

An amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan shall be approved by the Vail Town
Council upon passage of a resolution. .
Lionshead Redeveloament Master Plan (in aart)
4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead
, The Lionshead resort area (that portion of the study area notth of Gore
Creek) is a mixed-use urban environment with several discemible land-
- ' use sub-areas, or "hubs" (see Map N).' Although the hubs ove?iap
somewhat, there is no consistent and comprehensive pedestrian
connection , between them. The primary goal of the master plan is to
create a visually interesting and - functionally efficient pedestrian
environment that connects the hubs to create a cohesive and memorable -
resort environment.
4.1.5 West Lionshead - ResidentiaUMixed=Use Hub
The westem end of Lionshead, currently undeveloped, is home to
parking lots, the Vail Associates service yard, the Vail sanitation
plant, the old town shops, , a former gas station, the Vail
Professional Buildin4, and Cascade Crossinq This area of
Lionshead is generally under utilized and from an aesfhefic
standpoint is not in keeping with what the Town would like to see
Lionshead become as it redevelops in the_ coming years. The
Town of Vail does place a high value on maintaining the office and
retail ' areas in West Lionshead and any .redevelopment should
. reasonably increase the square footage:.of existing office and have
"no net loss" of retail square footage in,West Lionshead.
With their recent acquisition of additional properties in this area,
, Vail Resorts has the opportunify. to bring, lift service to this part of
. Lionshead. Lift service brings with if great potential for the re-
development of this area and in doing so expand all of Lionshead
to the west with improved pedestrian connections, new retail and
office activity and otlier improvements. While !ift access will
certainly energize this. area during the winter months, attention
7
~
I
should be given to creating a year-round attraction within this area
of Lionshead (see detailed plan recommendations in Chapter 5)
The masfer plan recommends that this hub become a residential/
mixed use area .with an emphasis on meetinq the needs of both fhe local communifv and our ciuests. Appropriafe uses could
include high density residential developmenf, lodging, community
and visitor based office and retail space, -employee housing and
parking, bus or transit functions and a ski lift connection to Vail
. Mounfain. -The catalyst for this mixed use hub is ski liit access to
VaiJ Mountain. Consideration. should be given to integrating
employee housing into the redevelopment of West -Lionshead in .
accordance wifh the Town's employee housing policies and
- regulations: To the extent possible development pattems in this
area should reflect north-south orientation of buildings, visual
penetrations to the mountain, and a pedesfrian oriented
~ environment. The degree of north-south building orientation may
. be diffcult given the relatively narrow east-west orientation of this
area. In addition, the introduction of ski lift access in this location
creates a catalyst, for an structured public parking facility. All
service and delivery demands created by development in this area
shall be accommodatecl on-site.
The site will continue to accommodate the existing and potentially
expanded functions of the Vail sanitation. plant. The mountain
service yard could be reduced in size, as. some functions can be
moved to less central locations. If may a/so be possible to
relocate the enfire mountain service yard to a new location in the
West Lionshead area wftich would allow for greater tlexibility in the
redevelopment of this site. However as the area _develoas it is '
critical that new uses be connecfed to ~ the primarv pedestrian
corridors_and _that. thev- be served.bv the Town of Vail in-town
fransit svstem. ' 4.5 Pubiic Transportation
An efficient transit system is critical to the character and environmental
quality of any pedestrian-oriented resort. Goals identified by the masfer ~
p/an regarding transit include: .
4.5.1 Connection to West Lionshead
West Lionshead consists of the West. Day Lot, the Vail Associates service
~ center, the sanitation plant, the Holy Cross lot, the former gas ,
stafion site, the Vail Professional Buildinq, ar?d Cascade Crossin_q.
Because it is an area of notentiaNv si4nificant qrowth, it__ is important that it be fullv integrated into flie Town of Vail transit
s sy tem• The West Lionshead properties are at the outside` edge of
the acceptable walking distance to the ski yard (1200 feet). With a
mixed use development in the area which integrates a ski p'ortal,
retail space, office space and residential development, transit
service to this . area and inferconnections to other portals will be
critical to deve%p in the future. In addition, the update of the Vail
8
Transportation Master Plan shall provide direction on the ultimate
location. of a Lionshead Transit Facilify along with needed ,
interconnections between, ski portals, regional transit stops, and
' other transportation modes. The addition of a ski lift in this area
would make this area more viable to redevelopment as ~it would be
within the acceptable walking distance of a lift (9, 200 feet).
, 4: 6 Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation .
. ' 4.6.2.1 . Potential Realiqnment ,
The concepf of realigning the. South Frontage Road at - the
westem end of fhe study area grew out of public
discussions about larid development and traffic flow in
Wesf Lionshead. Relative to traffc flow, realiqnment will
. remove the conflicf that now - exists . between throuqh=
. ' traffic and mountain service _vehicles (snow-cats and
snowmobiles) enterin4 and exiting the Vail Associates
service vard: Realia?nmenf will position the road to the
' north of -most new development._ thus reducinq the
. pofential for conflicting fuming rriovements.
Reqardino future land use., tlie realiqnment of South Frontaae
Road will allow the west dav lof and fhe service ay rd to
be combined into a contivuous develonment varcel. This
' is an important consideration for the development .
conceptually depicted in figure 4-9a, and it would be
necessary if the service yard property is used for a secondary public parking facility or other uses. Any .
existing parking on the West Day Lot must be replaced
within the Lionshead study area. Through the
Transportation Master Plan update it is anticipated that a
significant traffic confrol. device will need to be installed in
the West Lionshead area: Such a device may include a
round about.
Specifrc considerations regarding realignment are.
f. Future Frontacre Road Re-ali nq ment
The onaortunitv mav exist. to re-locate the Frontaqe
Road the full lencrth of the West Lionshead nlannincr area: . The benefit of__ this.. aitemative would be to
eliminate fhe "Frontaae. Road barrier". befinreen the
Holv Cross site and the Vail Professional Buildincr.
. V1/hile this alterr?ative would repuire coordination with
' other surroundina land. owners, it could warrant
further studv and eValuation in the future.
4.8.3 Public Parking 4.8.3.3 Potential•New Parking Sites,- - b. West Lionshead - The construction of a new public. parking faciliiy at the
- west end . of Lionshead ~ has been a planning
. , consideration since the. completion of the Vail
9
Transpo?tation Master plan in 1991. This site is currently
. undeveloped (except for the Vail Associates
- ' maintenance yard) and is large enough to meet projected parking demand. !t is well located in relation fo the
potential new eastbound l-70 access ramps. The
. viability of a new public parking facility in this location
would be enhanced by bringing lift service to this area:.
The construction of a new public parking facility would
address the existing defrciency of off-sfreet parking on
peak days and the shiffing demand of parking created by
, the introduction of a new.ski lift in WestLionshead. It is
anticipated that the new public parking structure would
, contain a approximately 400 public parking spaces,
, which would be in ~ excess of any parking . requiriements
, generated by proposed.development The update of the
Vail Transportation Plan should provide final.direction on
: the Iocation and quantity of additional public parking
spaces in the Tovirn of VaiJ. The location of additional
. public parking should consider where parking is most
optimal foc both guesfs - and employees, year round
ufilization, mountain operations, and overall traffic
circulation. .
Housing
4.9.4 Pofential Housing Sites
Following are specific sites that have been: identified as suitable for locals
and employee housing (see Map V1~.
4.9.4.3 Vail Associafes - Service Yarol Holy Cross Site, Vail
Professional Buildina. Cascade. Crossin_q. North Day Lot,
and the former gas station site
All redevelopment in West Lionshead will need to conform to the
Town's housing policies and requirements. ln order to create activity and vibrancy in West Lionshead it is appropriate to include
some dispersed employee housing opportunities for permanent
. local residents in. proposed developmenfs in the area consistent
_ witli these policies.
Perhaps the most promising :locations to replace the Sunbird
affordable housing project and to conform fo fhe Town's housing
policies and requirements for new employee housing generation in
Lionshead are the North Day Lot, Vail Associates _service yard, -
and Holy Cross site. However, fiousing is not tlie only use these
three properties will need to - support. The North Day lot is
considereal to be the preferred location for a significant housing
projecf in Lionshead to replace the Sunbird affordabYe housing
projecf and provide housing ; for new employee generation. The
Nortli Day Lot may also need to accommodate a transit center on
fhe ground level of the development site. Additionallv, it mav be
10
necessarv to develop a hiqher revenue-qeneratinQ product on a
portion of the Vai/. Associafes service _ vard, Holv_ Cross, Vail
Professional Buildinq, anci Cascade Crossing sites in order to
defrav the cost of road and infrastructure_ improvements. ln
. planning the site, the following issues need to be considened.a. Dens'
The site offers a unique opportunify to achieve
- - significant density. While it is important that buildings here ,be visually consistent with fhe overall character of
Lionshead, the desire to maximize , the housing
potential may make appropriafe. the following
deviations from standard development parameters. . First, it may be appropriate fo allow for a greater overall
building height _than. is otherwise allowed under the
Lionshead Architectural. Design GuideIines: Any
increase in building height will need to be reviewed on
, a case by case basis. by-the Town of Vail, and any
eventual building _ height will still need to be visually
appropriate for this location. Second, it is
recommended that the standards for density (units per
acre) be increased at this location fo allow for a greater
number of employee housing units. . Third, it may be
appropriate to reduce the parking requirements for
employee housing at this location.
5.17 West Day Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yard/ Holy Cross Site/Gas Station
Site /Vail Professiona/ Building/ Cascade Cro
ssing ,
Planning for the westem end of Lionshead must consider finro different
scenarios: the-realignment of South Frontage- Road and its retention in
the existing alignment. While the introduction of liff service is viable in either of these Frontage
Road a/fematives; site design will vary depending upon what happens to the Frontage Road alignmenf. See- Figures 4-9a, . and 49b fot the
Frontage Road realignment alfematives. Nofwithstanding ffiese different ~
Frontage Road scenarios there should be an increase of existing office
squarie footage and ano nef /oss" of retail square footage as a result of the redevelopment of these parcels. Higher densities and building heigtifs
may be appropriate in, this area, particulariy to encourage the
development of employee housing. However, any. development must
meef the overall characfer and visual intent of the master plan and be
- compatible.with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the
Vail Spa.
As compared . to a separate, free-standing Qortal. West Lionshead is
considered a part of the greater Lionshead area. In order for this area to
be successful, it_is important to have a_ strong_aedestrian connection_ with
the resf of Lionshead. A strong connection along the Gorie Creek corridor
already exists. Streetscape improvements 'a/ong West Lionshead Circle
11
befinreen Concert Hall Plaza (currently the.westem end of Lionshead retail
influence) and the Ritz:Carlton Residences will strengthen existing
conditions, and in doing so, improve the viability of mixed uses in West -
Lionshead. Improvements to street lightirig, walking surfaces, seating
areas and public arf are just some examples of what could.strengthen this
corridor and in doing so further integrate this area with the rest of
Lionshead.
The development of a strong pedestrian connection between the .
Lionsliead Core area and the westem side of Lionshead will encourage
pedestrian activity in this area and in doing so will energize all of West
Lionshead. During the winter months the ski lift and associated parking
will generate significant pedestrian traffic and activity. However,
consideration should be given to how West Lionshead can be an active
and vibrant place year-round. This could be accompiished in any number
of ways. For example, quality architecture and the creation of appealing
outdoor spaces in and of itself will encourage people to visit this area.
This could be reinforced by a well-crafted program of specialty retailers,
off'rces, and restaurants. . An active program of public art, residential units
that are used for "artists in residencep a culinary schoo/, improved access
to and utilization of Gore Creek or Red Sandstone Creek for fishing or
other purposes or specific recreation features such as a climbing wall are
just some examples of design elements or land uses thaf could create a
catalyst for acfivity. In conjunction with any applicafion to development a
new ski lift, a retaiUcommercial market study which analyzes the area for
the appropriate amount of square footage of retaiUcommercial that should
be included in the redevelopment of West Ironshead shafl be provided.
It is assumed that the development standards of Lionshead Mixed Use 1
or 2 will guide the design of redevelopment in this area. Notwithstanding the height allowances of fhese zone districts, building height and massing
shaU be responsive to the Gore Creek corridor, the Intersfate; and how
building massing transitions at the westem end of lionshead. Buildings
at the. westemmost end of Wesf Lionshead shall gradually "step down"
from the maximum allowable height limits of.the Lionshead Mixed- Use .
zone districts. Figure 5-25 provides a general depiction of how building
heigf?t shall gradually lower at the westem end of, this study area. The
intent of these height standards is thaf building height reduces by entire
floor levels in the locations as generally depicted on Figure 5-25.
Notwithstanding the height allowances depicted on Figure 5-25, buildings
fronting directly along Gore Creek and the westem end of Lionshead sha/l
express no more than three to four levels before "stepping back" to taller
building mass. On the lntersfate side of this area building design shall be
articulated to avoid large expanses of shear/unbroken,wall planes.
b. . Frontaqe Road Realiqnment behind the Maintenance Yard and
Holy Cross site The greafest benefit of this realignment altemative is that it results
in one very large and contiguous development parcel and in doing
so integrafes the Maintenance. Yard/Holy Cross site with the Wesf
Day Lof by removal of the barrier created by the existing Frontage
12
Road alignment. It also creates the besf pedestrian environment
in creating an extension of the Lionshead Retail area in that it
. provides. the potential to establish a convenienf and desirabie
pedestrian connecfion to the rest of Lionshead. With this
• a/temative the most viable site for a public parking facility would
-sti1F be the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. With the re-
location of the Frontage Road lift access out of the old gas station
site would not require a grade separated pedestrian crossing to
the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross par+ceis. However, a grade
separated crossing over the. re-located Fronfage Road would be
needed to link the Holy. Cross sife witfr the Vai1 Professional .
Building. This altemative would a/so aresent the onvortunifii for '
. • relocating and/or enhancinv Red Sai?dstone Creek to make it
more accessible to the communihc and _an aesthetically pleasin_p
water feature. One possibiJity may be to pond the creek just south
of the 1-70 corridor and diverting all or a portion of the tlow
undemeath the new Frontage Road in order to bring "live water"
fhrough the westem end of the Holy Cross site. Any modification
or enhancement to the creek corridor. would be subject to U. S.
Army Corp of Engineers approval. - A sfrong east-west oriented '
pedestrian corridor with ground floor retail uses would be
necessary to create a strong connection between this area and
the rest of Lionshead. Lionshead is generally under utilized and from an aesthetic
standpoint is not in keeping with what the Town would like to see
Lionshead become as it redevelops in the coming years. The
Town of Vail does place a high value on, maintaining the office and
retail areas in West Lionshead and any redevelopment should
reasonably increase the square. footage of existing office and have ,
"no net IossA of retail square.footage in Wesf Lionshead.
,
With their, r+ecent acquisition of additiona/ properties in this area,
Vail Resorts has the oppoitunity fo bring lift service to this part of
' Lionshead. Lift service brings wi#h it greaf potential for the re-
development of this area and in doing so ezpand all of Lionshead
to the west with improved pedestriari connections, new retail and
office activity and other improvemenfs: While lift access will
certainiy energize this.. area during the winter months, attention
should be given, to creating a year-rouncl attracfion within this area
of Uonshead (see detailed plan recommendations in Chapter 5)
The master plan recommends that fhis hub become a residentiaU
mixed use area with an emphasis on meeting the needs of both
the local community and ~our. gues#s." Appropriate uses could
include high density residential development, lodging, community
and visitor based office and retail space,. employee housing and
parking, bus or transit functions and a ski lift connection to Vail
Mountain. The.catalyst for,this. mixed use hub is"ski lift access to
Vail Mounfain. Consideration should be given to integrafing
employee housing into the redeve/opment of West Lionshead in
accordance with the Town's employee housing policies and
13
regulations. To the extent possible development pattems in this
area should reflect north-south orientation of buildings, visual
penetrations to the mountain, and a pedestrian oriented
envirrironment. The degree of north-south building orientation may
be diffrcult given the relatively narrow east=west orientation of this
area. In addition, the infroducfion of ski !ift access in this location
creates a catalyst for an structured public parking facility. All
service and delivery demands created by development in this area
shall be accommodated on-site.
The site will continue to accommodate the existing and potentially
expanded functions of the Vail sanitation plant The mountain
service yard could be reduced in size, as some functions can be
. moved to less central Iocations. lt may a/so be possible to
re/ocate the entire mountain service yard to a new /ocation in the .
West Lionshead area which would allow for greater flexibility in the
redevelopment of this site. However as the area develops it is
critical fhaf new uses be connected to the primary pedestrian .
corridors and that they be served by the Town of Vail in-town
transiY system.
4.5 - Public.Transportation
An efficient transit sysfem is critical to the character and environmental
qualiiy of any pedestrian-oriented resort. Goals identified by the master
' plarrregarding transit include:
4.5.1 Connection to West Lionshead
West Lionshead consists of the West Day Lot, the Vail Associafes service
center, the sanitation plant, the Holy Crvss lot, fhe 'former gas
station site, the Vail Professional Buildirig, and Cascade Crossing.
Because it is an area of potentially significant growth, it is
important that it be fully integrated into the Town of Vail transit system. The West Lionshead properties are at the oufside edge. of
the acceptable walking distance to fhe ski yard (1200 feef). IN'rth a
mixed use development in the area which integrates a ski portal,
retail space, offrce space and residential developmenf, fransit
service fo this area and interconnections to other portals will be
critical to develop in' fhe future. In addition, the updafe of the Va7l
Transporfation Master Plan shall provide direction on the uftimate
location of a Lionshead , Transit Facilify along with needed interconnecfions 'between ski portals, regional transit stops, and
. otirer transportation modes. TFre addition of a ski lift, in this area
would make this area more viable to redevelopment as it would be
within the acceptable walking distance of a.lifi (1,200 feet).
4.5.2 Maximum Efficiency and Utilization
The following recommendations are made to enhance the effi'ciency and
functionality of the Lionshead transit connections in anticipation of
future redevelopment in the area:
14
4.5.2.1 Relocate the Regional, Transit Stop
' It is recommended that the.Lionshead regional transif stop,
. currently located at the Lionshead P/ace cul-de-sac, be relocated
- ' to the proposed north day.lot transportation center. This will '
provide a Lionshead connection between the regional transit
. system and the Town of Vail transit system. ln addition, visitors
and employees coming to lionshead by regional bus will arrive at
a defrned portal instead of the current "back door° on Lionshead
Place. Finally, this will nemove the /a?ge regional buses from West
Lionshead Cirde and Lionshead Place. It may be possi6le fo
locate elements of a iegional transit stop in the West Lionshead
area in conjunction , with a new ski liff and parking 'facility.
However, given its location on the periphery of Lionshead, this
area may not be the most viable - location for a regiona! transit
stop. Notwithstanding the ~ above, facilities for skier clrop-off,
.private shuftle vans and Town of Vail in-town buses should be
included in the design of the ski lift and parking facility. In 2006,
the Town of Vail initiated 'an update of the Vail Transportation
Master Plan. In addition, the Town initiated a develapment
competition for the Lionshead Parking Structure redevelopment,
which would include a transit facility. It is anticipated that fhe
Transportation Master Plan-.update along, with the conclusion of
the Lionshead Parking Structure redevelopment process will
provide direction on the ultimate location for a Lionshead Transit .
Faeility and/or the type oftransit facilities that may be necessary in
West Lionshead. 4.6 Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation
4.6.2 ' South Frontage Road
Recommendations outlined be/ow address potential re-alignment of
portions of the frontage. road, ingress and egress improvements,
bicycle/ pedestrian impmvements; and visual improvements. For a detailed .discussion of capacity and the impacts of futune
development on the frontage road, see the traffic impact study
contained .in appendix A. ' Figure 4-9 depicts potential
redevelopment without the realignment of the Fronfage Road
while Figure 4-9a depicts iedevelopmenf with a partial realignment
of the Frontage Road:
4.6.21 Potential Realignment '
The concept of realigning the South Frontage Road af the
, westem end, of the sfudy area grew out of public
discussions abouf land development and traffic flow in
West Lionshead Relative to traffic flow, realignment will
remove Ihe conflict that now exists between through-
tra.ffic and mountain : service vehicles (snow-cats and
snowinobiles) , entering and exiting the Vail Associates
service.. yard. Realignment will position the road to the
north of most new - development, thus reducing the
15
potential for. conflicting tuming movements.
Regarding future land use, the realignment of South Frontage
Road will allow the west day lot and the service yard to
' be combined into a contiguous development parcel. This
is an important consideration for the development
conceptually depicted in figure 4-9a, and it would be
necessary if the service yard property is used for a
secondary public parking. facility or other uses. Any
existing parking on the West Day Lot must be replaced
within : the Lionshead study area. Through fhe
Transportation Master Plan update it is anticipated fhat a .
signifrcant traffic control device will need to be installed in
. the West Lionshead area. Such a device may include a
round about.
Specific considerations regarding realignment are.
a. Proposed Alignmenf
The proposed realignment of the South Frontage Road is
depicted in figure 4-9a. ` Critical design issues include
the width of the road and fhe radius of the curves.
, Both of these factors will be important in reducing the
speed of vehicles entering the Lionshead area and fhe
amount of land consumed by the two cunred road
sections. Cooperation between property owners,
developers, . the . Town of Vail, and the Colorado
Department of Transportation will be neeessary to
implement the realignment of the Frontage Road.
b. West Lionshead Circle Connection
. It is proposed that West Lionshead Circle connect back to the
frontage road at the west side of the Vail Spa. The
alignmenf depicted in. figure 4-9a terminates
perpendicular to the fronfage road and does not
require the acquisifion of private property. A new
parcel of developable land, suitable for offrces or non- .
resort ?etail, would be created on the southeast comer
of this intersection.
c. Forest Road Connection
Foresf Road could be realigned to cross through the
newly created development parcel, providing access
to that site and connecting at right ang/es to the
frontage road. Another, altemative that should be
considered is fo connect Forest Road to West
Lionshead Circle via the existing Frontage Road right-
of-way.
d. Transit and Emergency Vehicle Corridor
~ A transit and emergency vehicle corridor should
remain in the existing alignment of the frontage road.
This connection is necessary to provide a through-
16
transit route to fhe west end of Lionshead and also
, keeps in place fhe existing utilify corridor.
e. Feasibility of Realignment
The ability to realign the frontage road will be heavily
influenced by cosfs, CDOT (Colorado Department of
. Transportation), and the Federal highway
administration. Future wesf Lionshead developments
will require significant upgrades and widening of
. South Frontage Road, potentially including the
widening or reconstruction of the bridge over Red
Sandstone Creek. The cost of realigning the frontage
road is in addition to ' the mandatory costs of
_ improving the road.
g. Future Frontage Road Re-alignment,• The opportunity may exist to re-/ocate the Frontage
• Road the full length of the West Lionshead planning
. area. The benefit of this a/temative wou/d be to
eliminate the "Frontage Road barrier" between the Holy Cross site arid the Vail Professional Building.
While this altemative would require coordination with
other surrounding land owners, it could wa?rant.
. further study and evaluation in the fufur'e.
. 4.8.4 Public Parking ,
. 4.8.3.4 Potential New Parking Sites
b. West Lionshead
The construction of a new public parking faciliiy at the
. west end of Lionshead has` been a planning
consideration since _ fhe completion of the Vail
Transportation Masfer plan in 1991. This sife is currently
undeyeloped (except for fhe Vail Associates
. maintenance yard) and is large enough to meet projected
' parking 'demand. It is well located in relation to the
potential new eastbound 1-70 access ramps. The
viabilitX of a new public parking, facilify in this location
. would be enhanced by bringing litt service fo this area.
, The construction of a new public parking facility would
address the existing deficiency of off-street parking on peak days and the shifting demand of parking created by ,
the introduction of a new ski liff in West Lionshead. It is
anticipated thaf the new public parking stnrcture would
. . contain. a approximately, , 400 public parking spaces,
which would be in excess of any parking requirements
generated by proposed development. The update of the
Vaii Transportation Plan shoulal provide final direction on
fhe locafion and quantity of 'additional public parking
spaces in the Town of Vail. The location of additional
public parking should ' consider where parking is mosf
17
optima! for both guests and employees, year round
utilization, mounfain operations, and overall traffic
circulation. • Given the location for this parking facilify, if had
been assumed that regular transit or shuttle service
would be necessary because of its distance from
the retail core area and the ski yarol (greater than a
1200-foot walking radius). However, the location of
the parking -structure wou.ld be proximate to the
new lift and as such the need for regular shuifle
service would be. minimized. However, some.
provisions for bus sfops and/or a transit facility
should be considered for the parking structure.
4.9 Housing
4.9. 4' Potential Housing Sites '
Following are specific sites that have been identified as suifable for locals
and employee housing (see Map M. '
4.9.4.4 Vail Associates Service Yard Holy Cross Site, Vail
Professional Building, Cascade Crossing, North Day Lot,
and the former gas station site ,
All redevelopment in West Lionshead will need to conform to fhe
Town's housing policies and requirements. In order to create .
activity and vibrancy. in Wesf Lionshead if is appropriate to inGude
some dispersed employee housing opportunities for permanent
local residents in proposed dev"elopments in the area consisfent
, with these policies. `
Perhaps the mosf promising locations to rep/ace the Sunbird
affordable housing projeet and to conform to fhe Town's housing
policies and requirements for new employee housing generation in
Lionshead are fhe Norfh Day Lot, Vail Associates senrice yard,
and Holy Cross site. However, housing is not the only use these "
three properties will need to support. The North Day lot is
considered to be the preferred location for a signifrcant housing
. project in Lionshead to replace the Sunbird affordable housing
project and provide housing for new employee generation. The
North Day Lot may also need to accommodate a transit cerrter on
' the ground Ieve1 of the development site. Additionally, it may be
necessary to develop a higher revenue-generating product on a
portion of the Vail Associates senrice yard, Holy Cross, Vail
Professional Building, and Cascade Crossing sites in order. to
defray the cost of road and infrastructure improvements. In
planning the site, the foJlowing issues need to be considered:
a. Densi
18
The site offers a unique opportunity to achieve significant density. While it is importanf_ thaf buildings
here be visualiy consistent with the overall character of _ Lionshead, the -desire to maximize. the housing
potential may make appropriate the following
deviations from standaral development parameters.
. First, it may be appropriate to allow.for a greater overal!
building, height than is otherwise allowed under the
Lionshead Architectirral Design Guidelines. Any
increase in building height will need to be reviewed on
, a. -case by case basis by the Town of : Vail, and any .
eventual building height will still need.to be visually
appropriate for this location. Second, it is
recommended that the standarols for density (units per
acre) be increased at this locafion fo allow for a greater .
number of employee housing units. Thirol, it may be
. appropriate fo , reduce the parking requirements for
employee housing at this location.
5.17 West Day Lot/ Vail Associafes Service Yar+d/ Holy Cross Sife/Gas Station ~
Site /Vail Professional 8uilding/ Cascade Crossing
Planning for the westem end of Lionshead _ must consider two different
scenarios: the realignment of South Frnntage Road and its retenfion in the existing alignment.
- While the introduction of lift service is viable in either of these Frontage
' Road altematives, site design will vary depending upon what happens to
, the Fronfage. Road alignment See Figures 4-9a, and 49b for the
Frontage Road realignment altematives. Nofwifhstanding these different
Frontage Road scenarios there shou/d be an increase of existing office
sguare footage and "no net /oss" of retail square footage as a result of the
redevelopment,of these parcels. Higher densifies and, building heighfs
may be , appropriafe in this area, particu/arly to encourage the development of employee housing. However, any, development musf
meet the overall character and visual inte.nt, of the master p/an and be "
compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the
Vail Spa.
As compared to, a- separate, free-standing porfal, West Lionshead is
considered a part of the greater Lionshead area. . In order for this area to
be successful; it is important to have a strong pedestrian connection with the rest of Lionshead. A strong connection along the Gore Creek corridor
already exisfs. Streetscape improvements along Wesf Lionshead Circle
between, Concert Hall Plaza (currently the westem end of Lionshead retaii
influence) and the Ritz-Cailton Residences will strengfhen existing
conditions, and in doing so; improve the viability of mixed uses in West
Lionshead. - Improvements to street lighting, walking surfaces, seating
areas and public art are just some examples:of whaf could strengthen this
corridor and in doing so further ° integrate this area with the r+est of
Lionshead.
: 19 -
,
The development of a sfrong pedestrian connection between the
Lionshead Core area and the westem side of Lionshead will encourage
pedestrian activity in fhis area and in doing so will energize ail of West
Lionshead. During the winter months the ski lift and associated parking
will generate significant pedestrian traffic and activity. However,
considerafion siiould be given to how West Lionshead can be an active
and vibrant place year-round. This could be accomplished in any number
of ways. For example,,quality architecture and the creation of appealing
outdoor spaces in and of itself will encourage people to visif this area. -
This could be reinforced by a rVel!-crafted program of specialty retailers,
offices, and restaurants. An active program of public art, residential -units
that are used for "artists in residenee ; a culinary school, improved access
to and utilization of Gore Creek or Red Sandstone Creek for fishing or
other purposes or.specific recreation features such as a climbing wall are
just some examples of design elemenfs or land uses that could create a
catalyst for activity. In conjunction with any application to development a
new ski lift, a retaiUcommercial market study which analyzes the area for '
the appropriate amount of square footage of retaiUcommercial that should
be included in the redevelopment of West Lionshead shall be provided.
lf is assumed that the development standards of Lionshead Mixed Use 1
or 2 will guide the design of redevelopment in this area. Noiwithstanding
the height a!lowances of these zone districts, building height and massing
shail be responsive to the Gore Creek comdor, the Interstate, and how
building massing transitions at the westem end of Lionshead. Buildings
at the wesfernmost. end of Wesf Lionshead shail gradually "step down"
from the.maximum- allowable height limits of the Lionshead Mixed Use
zone districts. Figure 5-25 provides a. genera/ depiction of how building
height shall gradually lower at the westem end of this study area. The
intent of fhese 'height standaMs is: thaf. building. height reduces by entire
floor levels in the locations as generally depicfed on Figure 5-25.
Nofinrithstanding the height allowances depicfed on Figure 5-25, buildings
fronting directly along Gore Creek and the wesfem end of Lionshead shall
express no more than three to four levels before "stepping back" fo talier
building mass. On the Interstate side of this area building design shall be
articulated to avoid large expanses of shear/unbroken wall planes.
b. Frontage Road Reali4nment behind the Maintenance Yard and
Holv Cross site
The greatest benefit of this realignment alternative is that it results
in one very large and contiguous developmerit parcel and in doing
so integrates the Mainfenance Yard/Holy Cross site with the Wesf
Day Lot by removal of the barrier created °by the existing Frontage
. Road alignment. It a7so creates the best pedestrian environment ,
in creating an extension of the Lionshead Retail area in that it
provides the potential to establish a convenient and desirable
pedesfrian connection to the rest of Lionshead. With this
~ altemative the most viable• site for a public parking facility would
still be the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. Wfth the re-
20
location of the Frontage Road lift access out, of the old gas station
site would not require a grade separated pedesfrian crossing to
the. Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. However, a grade .
separated crossing over the re-located Frontage Road woulal. be
needed to link the Holy Cross site with the Vail Professional
Building. This altemative wou/d a/so present the opportunity for
relocating and/or enhancing ; Red: . Sandstone , Creek to make if
. more, accessible to the communiiy and an aesthetically pleasing .
wafer feature. One possibility may be to pond fhe.creek just south
of the I-70 comidor and 'diverting all or a portion of the flow
undemeafh the new Fronfage Road in order. to bring "live water"
through the westem end of the.Holy Cross,site: Any modifrcation
or enhancement to the creek corridor would be subjecf to U. S.
Army Corp of Engineers approva/ A strong east-west oriented
pedestrian corridor with - ground floor retail. , uses would be
necessary fo create a sfrong connection between this area and
the resf of Lionshead. V. REVIEW CRITERIA
Staff is proposing the Land Use Plan map amendments, pursuant to _ Section
8.3:A Community Development Department Amendments, Vail Land Use Plan,
for the reasons listed, below, corresponding to each of the three subject
properties: . ' . : .
1031 _South Frontaqe Road West -°Cascade Crossinq'~ (Future "Ever Vail")
- . ,
• Consistency with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution 4; Series
- of 2007, amending the Lionshead Study Area-Boundaries to include 1031
South Frontage Road West (See Attachment E: Map A Study Area). In
doing so, the property, at,-1031 South. Frontage Road became regulated
by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan; in particular Sections
listed above (Section IV of this memorandum):: Therefore, this land use.
amendment provides consistency between the 'Land Use Map and the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan document. 953 South Frontage Road West -"Vail Professional Building° (Future "Ever Vail")
• Consistency.with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution 4, Series
of 2007, amending the Lionshead Study Area Boundaries to include 953
South Frontage Road West (See.Attachment E: Map A Study Area). In
doing so, the property at 953 South Frontage Road became regulated by '
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, in particular Sections listed
above. (Section IV of this. memorandum): Therefore, this land use
amendment provides consistency between the; Land Use Map and the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan document. 1000 South Frontage Road West -°Glen Lvon Office Buildinq"
21
• Land Use Planning The current land use designation of the Glen Lyon Office Building
property, Community Office, is simply defined in the Vail Land Use Plan as follows:
This area- is: to include. primarily office_ uses of all types. Some limited
commercial uses, such. as retail businesses; including general
merchandise, apparel and accessories -and auto service facilifies would
also be permitted.
The current designation. does not provide site-specific guidance or
recommendations foi- developmetit or redevelopment of the property
beyond the above definition. Therefore. Staff believes that the proposed .
land use amendment of-the Glen Lyon.Office Building to Lionshead,
RedeVelopmenf Master Plan, consistent with the adjacent properties, will
create a consistent framework for redevelopment of this neighborhood by
bringing all thtee properties under- the standards and recommendations,
set forth in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
• Connectivity
Sfaff believes the proposed land use amendment of the Glen Lyon Office
Building to Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan; consistent with the
adjacent properties, will guide development in a pattem of harmony that.
will facilitate visual and physical connectivity between the properties. By
creating a consistent pattem of land use in the neighborhood, the Town
will- have more latitude to encourage and facilitate connectivity, in site
design through the following recommendations set forth in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan:
0 4.3.1 Visual Connections - As development and redevelopmenf
occur in Lionshead, it will be vifal to protect visual connections to
the.. ski mounfain. These visual relationships strengfhen the
identitjr of Lionshead as an alpine resorf and provide a visual
rieference that helps Lionshead visitors to findtheir way fhroughf
tiie~ core. Visual connection to the natural environment should be ,
established utilizing the following techniques: 4.3.1.1 View
Corridors and 4.3.1.2 North-South Orientation of Buildings.
0 4.3.2 Physica! Connections - Physical connections to the natural
envimnment are essential fo the experientia/ qualify of a mountain
reso?f. There are several ways to achieve a physical connection
in addition to creating north=south. oriented streets [such as]:
4.3.2.1 Landscape and Green belt Corridors, - 4.3.2.2 Skier Bridge,
and 4.3.2.3 Access to the South Side of Gore Creek
0 4.5 Public Transportation - An efficient transit system is critical to
the character and envir+onmental quality of any pedestrian-orienfed
resort. Goals identified by the master plan regarding. transit
include: 4.5.1 Connection to West Lionshead (in part) The West
Lionshead properties are at the outside edge of fhe accepfab/e
walking distance fo the ski yard. Wifh a mixed use developmenf in
22
the area which integrates, a ski.portal, retaii space, office space
and residential, development; transit senrice to this area and
, interconnections to the other portals will be critical to develop in
the future.
Proximity to adjacent re-development / site design
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master.Pian calls for the re-alignment of
the - south _frontage road from the current location fo, a configuration
parallel to I-70, along the north property lines of the properties located at
1031 South Frontage Road "Vail Professional Building° and 953 South
Frontage Road, "Vail Professional Building." The proposed re=alignment
will facilitate a land swap between CDOT and the property~ owners of
1031 and 953 South Frontage Road. The land."swap will place the Glen
Lyon Office building property (1000 South Frontage Road) directly
abutting 1031 and 953 South Frontage Road, where the, properties are
today separated by the South Frontage Road Right-of-way.
With the proposed development of "EverVail" abutting the Glen Lyon
Office Building property, as a result -of the road re-alignment, Staff
believes the change in land use designation for all three properties will
facilitate consistent design and fluid, development in the new planned
neighborhood. ,

The eleventh item on the agenda was Resolution 4, Series of 2007, a resolution to
amend Chapter 4, Recommendations - Overall Study Area and Chapter 5, Detailed Plan
Recommendations, LionsHead Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant toSection 2.8;
Adoption and Amendment of the Master Plan, LionsHead Redevelopment Masfer Plan,
to inGude two new parcels and amend the text of the Master Plan for the area idenfified
as "West LionsHead." . Senior Planner Warren Campbell explained that on December 11, 2006, the PEC
forwarded.a recommendation of approval by a vote of 4-1-0 (Jewitt opposed), to Council
for amendments outlined in Resolution 4, Series of 2007.
The purpose of the amendment would establish the basis by which West LionsHead
could be redeveloped with a, skier gondola in the location of the former gas station site
and the development of mixed use areas, including housirig, retail, and office spaces, to
create a new portal to the mountain with all the typical skier services. Another aspect of
, the proposed redevelopment includes the possible relocation of the South Frontage
Road.
At the January 2, 2007, hearing Council directed staff to remove Tract K and the other
parcels proposed.for inclusion within the LionHead Redevelopment Master Plan by the
town from the proposed text amendments. Staff made those changes to the proposed
amendment leaving only two parcels proposed for addition into West LionsHead.
Campbell gave a presentation regarding the concerns expressed by Council at fhe
aftemoon work session regarding employee housing, building height, and transit :
Gordon asked for wording making additional office space a requirement. The resolution
'included the wording, "no net loss", however, he wished that the Master Plan encourage
add'itional office space.
Representing Vail Resorts, Keith Femandez, said he would be amicable to considering a
reasonable increase in office space. Foley clarified the proposed additional lift would not
increase actual skier numbers, just adjust where Vail Mountain is accessed by skiers.
10
Foley said he did not believe the proposal could continue without a Simba Run
underpass and desired stronger language regarding the need for Simba Run in _
conjunction with any redevelopment in West LionsHead.
Representing Vail Resorts Development Company, Jack Hunn reported LionsHead was
- used for 45% of all skier mountain access. He said:development of West LionsHead
could possibly result in more skier days as there would be an increase in the overall bed
6ase in the town.
' Gordon encouraged including children's senrices in the project..as it may help to
eliminate congestion at Golden Peak. Moffet expressed concern the housing
requirement for the parcel was being moved elsewhere.: •
Representing the.applicant, Tom Braun said Vail Resorts remained committed to
providing employee housing. Foley,moved to.table.the resolution with Newbury seconding: The motion failed, 4-2, with
, Logan and Foley voting.in favor.
Gordon moved to approve the resolution with amendments to:the.text. Logan seconded. :
The proposed amendments to the text included changes fo-Sections 4:1.5, West
LionsHead - Residential/Mixed Use Hub and 5.17, -West. Day LotNail'Associates Senrice
- Yard/Holy Cross Site/Gas Station SiteNail Professional Building/Cascade Crossing to
have the language state there should be "no net loss" of retail but an increase in office
space.
Amendments to Section 4.6:7, Simba Run, strengthened the language to identify the ,
need for the Simba Run underpass with any redevelopment in West LionsHead.
The final amendment to the text occurred in Section 4.9.4.3; Vail Associates Service
Yard, Holy Cross Site, Vail Professional Building; Cascade Crossing, North Day Lot, and
the former filling station site, which changes the text to_encourage the dispersal of
employee housing throughout the redevelopment.
Representing the Vail Village Homeowners Assoaation Jim Lamont clarified TIF from
the proposal could be used for a Simba Run underpass. The motion passed 5-1, Foley opposed.

Re: Glen Lyon Office Building
Dear Commissioners: : I am writing on behalf of Vail Resorts Development Company to offer our support to the
amendrrients to the Vail Land Use Plan with regard to the Glen Lyon Office Building
(GLOB) property. We believe it makes sense to include the GLOB property in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan azea as the logical extension of the planning area:
.Additionally, we support owners of the GLOB property in their pursuit of an amendment
to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan for the GLOB properties inclusion in the
master plan area and any future application to rezone the property to Lionshead Mixed
Use 2. We believe the eventual rezoning of the GLOB property fo Lionshead Mixed Use
2 will allow Vail Resorts and the GLOB ownership to redevelop and plan our properties
more creatively and efficiently and in the best interest of both parties.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thank you,

TOWN OF VE `
COMMISSION ON SPECIAL EVENTS
MEMO:
To: Vail Town Council
From: Sybill Navas, Special Events Coordinator
Date: September 2, 2008
Vail Arts Festival:
The Vail Arts Fesdval was held on East Lionshead Circle this year because we did not forsee
the problem with set-up timing caused by Jazz @ Vail Square. The Jazz Foundation has a 60'x40' tent
set up each Thursday evening in August for their concert. The Arts Festival required space for 100
canopies- 45 of which were planned for placement on the Ice Rink- in exactly the same spot as the Jazz
tent. Even if the tent had been removei late on Thursday, at the close of the Jazz concert, it would have
_ been nearly impossible to set up the Arts Fesriva,l on that site by Friday morning. Arra.belle was not
friendly to the idea of a crack-of-dawn set up due to the possibility of disturbing sleeping guests.
Because there is no vehicular access to the Arrabelle plaza and the artists would have to bring all of
their displays into the plaza via handcart, it was not feasible to complete the set-up in time for the
show's advertised start. Also, VRI has not yet released the grass area in the ski yard for events use, as
the sod has not yet "taken." Tent sites within the mall itself are extremely limited due to fire access.
Laurie does not feel that the Arts Festival is a financially viable event if it is broken up into small
areas. This is an issue that the CSE will look at cazefully prior to next year.
Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any additional questions.
