The first item on the agenda was Citizen Input.

The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda.
? Approval of the 10.07.08 & 10.21.08 Minutes.
Daly moved to approve the minutes with Foley seconding with minor amendments. The
motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report.
Revenue Update.
Budget and Finance Reporting Manager Kathleen Halloran reported that when all sales
tax returns are received for the month of September, collections for the month are
expected to be $836,137, down 7.95% from September, 2007. Year-to-date sales tax
collections of $15.6M are up 6.3% from 2007. For comparison, inflation as measured by
the consumer price index was up 4.9% for the month of September, and up 4.2% for the
first half of 2008 compared to prior year. Use tax collections began as of January 1, 2008.
As of October 30, collections total $610,800 of revenue. This is $11 OK over the amended
budget of $500,000. Construction permit revenue currently totals $2.2M, down 12% from
this time last year. However, due to conservative budgeting collected revenue currently
v
exceeds the amended 2008 budget by $487K. The decrease in activity from the prior year
is due to both major and non-major redevelopment projects. Major redevelopment projects.
make up 76% of the total, and construction permit fee revenue from those projects is up
by 8% from prior year. Revenue from non-major projects is down .24% from this time last
year. RETT collections through October 28, 2008, total $6.3 million. This amount is' a 34%
increase from this time last year primarily due to recent sales of major redevelopment
projects. The overall real estate market in Eagle County is down 27% in sales dollars and
down 46% in sales transactions as of August, 2008. Major redevelopment projects such
as the. Arrabelle at Vail Square, Forest Place, One Willow Bridge; Vail Plaza and The-
Willows account for 59% of year-to-date 2008 collections. This is significantly higher -than
the 23% from October 2007, and is the reason Vail's RETT revenue is performing much
better than the rest of the county. Rt i i collections from property transfers. not related to .
major redevelopment projects dropped by 29% year-to-date as of October, 2008
compared with 2007. This is more in line with the sales decrease across the county.
? Conference Center Funds.
Town Attorney Matt Mire reported, "I see no reason why the new election (used to
determine the future use 'of the conference center funds) would be governed by TABOR."
The fourth item on the agenda was the Building & Fire Code. Appeals Board vacancy
appointments.
Foley moved to appoint Lynne Fritzlen to the board with Hitt seconding. The motion
passed unanimously, 6-0. For details, contact Lorelei Donaldson at 479-2136.
The fifth item on the agenda was the First reading of Ordinance No. 24, Series 2008, an
Ordinance Approving A Holy Cross Energy Utility Easement within the Town of Vail Open
Space between Matterhorn Circle and Upper Matterhorn Circle.
Town Engineer Tom Kassmel informed Council an existing overhead electric line crossed
the middle bench open space without an easement. "This year. Holy Cross Energy lowered
this stretch of overhead line at the request and cost of a private homeowner... Neither the
existing nor the current electric lines have had a dedicated easement." Hitt clarified there
was an underground utility vault placed in Donovan Park. "I'm not opposed to burying
power lines throughout the town ...I have a problem with the way it,.actually happened."
Foley clarified the contractor would pay for the necessary restoration and permitting. Hitt.
clarified Holy Cross Energy inspected and approved all of the work. Holy Cross Energy
representative Jeff Broom explained the utility line benefited the entire Matterhorn area.
Cleveland expressed concern future adjacent private property owners could have access
to above ground utility vaults on Donovan Park. Hitt moved to approve the ordinance with
Foley seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The sixth. item on the agenda was the First reading of the 2009 Budget Ordinance No. 25,
Series 2008.
The $51 million budget was approved on first reading by a 5-1 vote,. Daly, opposed. A
public hearing is now_ scheduled for Nov. 18 for second reading. As recommended by
Council member Andy Daly, one modification was made during first reading where an
,adjustment in the split of sales tax revenue between the General Fund and the Capital
Projects Fund was made. The proposed budget reflects a transfer of $750,000 from the,
General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund in recognition of the need to sustain Vail's
2
world class infrastructure. The transfer is made possible,-by an $800,000 cut in the
General Fund as directed earlier by Council. The revised split .means 61 percent of the
$19.4 million projected sales tax is allocated to the General Fund and. 39 percent to the
Capital Projects Fund. This adjustment to revenues will boost the fund balance in the
Capital Projects Fund to $3.9 million for 2009, and leaves the General Fund with a surplus
of approximately $38,000 for 2009 and ending fund balance of $21.7 million. When the
split is greater than 50-50, the budget adoption process requires a super majority vote of
the Town Council. Earlier the month, Council directed town staff to cut or defer projects to
reduce expenses for 2009 in response to the changing economic climate. Specifically,
revenue from. both Sales Tax and Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) were reduced by a
total of $1.2 million. Expenditures were also adjusted by $6.5 million for 2009: General
Fund operations were reduced by approximately $800,000 and capital projects in both the
Capital Projects Fund and Rt i i Fund of $5.6 million were deferred until 2010. In total,
projected 2009 revenue of $50.1 million is a 5.7 percent decrease from 2008. The 2009
budget. proposes a 6 percent merit pool for full-time employees, which was discussed at
length by Council on Nov. 4. It was noted that the town's salary increases have lagged
those of other resort communities over the past five years and several Council members
acknowledged their appreciation of town employees before agreeing to keep the merit
pool at the proposed level. Gordon thanked Budget & Financial Reporting Manager
Kathleen Halloran for conservative budgeting. "This seems right in line with what needs to
be done." Foley clarified earmarked federal funds (transit center) would- expire if a project .
was not started in LionsHead by 2010. Daly expressed concern budget projections were
made during a time of great optimism and ambition. "We have a fiduciary responsibility to
our constituents to spend the town's dollars the way they would spend their own.... I think
as we get on to 2013 to 2015 that our RETT revenue will decrease by 50%...If we are to
remain a world class community we have to put the dollars aside to sustain a world class
infrastructure" Gordon strongly supported not risking a potential reduction of services.
Camp explained the General Fund and Capital Projects fund split fluctuated in accordance
with the town's financial condition and economic projections. Foley expressed concern
that salaries and benefits had risen at a rapid rate. Cleveland . clarified 15-20%. of
employees do not receive the maximum merit increase. "I would be more comfortable with
a five percent pool as opposed to six percent ...I think we need to acknowledge what could
be a tough year." Hitt-stated since. his time on Council the town has struggled to be a
competitive payer with similar communities. Newbury said, "it really. bothers me you
(Council) will spend $150,000 on Bravo, but you won't split $90,000 (the value of a one
percent merit increase) amongst your. employees." Hitt concluded, "I feel it would be more
detrimental to lose more key employees at this point than it would be to spend
$90,000... We've tried to play catch up for the past five years I've been here." Cleveland
stated, "I would certainly. expect Council to stay on staff to monitor revenues in 2009."
Gordon moved to approve the ordinance with Newbury seconding.,
The seventh item on the agenda was the First reading of Ordinance No. 26, Series of
2008, an ordinance rezoning a Town owned property, pursuant to Section 12-3-7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for the rezoning of,Parcel A, a re-subdivision of
Tract D, Vail Das Schone, from Commercial Core 3(CC3) District to General Use (GU)

Tract D; Vail Das Schone, from Two Family Primary/Secondary(PIS) District to Housing

The ninth item on' the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 22, Series of
2008, 'repealing and re-enacting Ordinance No. 6, Series of. 2005, Vail . Village Inn,
amending and re-establishing the approved development plan for Phase III of Special
Development District (SDD) No. 6, pursuant to Article 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures,
.Vail Town Code, to allow-for the conversion of an existing . office. and retail space to
residential for an addition to an existing dwelling unit, located at 68 Meadow Drive/1_6t.0,
Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1.
Planner Nicole Peterson explained the SDD major amendment ordinance request includes
the conversion of existing office and retail space to residential for an approximate 1,237
gross residential square foot addition to' existing residential unit #110. The proposed
addition is immediately below the existing unit #110 and includes a new exterior entrance
off the pedestrian plaza on the north side of the building, mudroom,. staircase, media
room, two bedrooms and three bathrooms. The proposal also includes the interior
reconfiguration of the existing unit #110 level 105.0' and minor exterior alterations:, The
proposal does not include any additions outside the exterior walls of the existing building.
The addition area is currently, occupied by three commercial lessees:

Campbell explained the HOA as well as the property owner had to. become applicants.
The applicant's legal representative Tim Devlin explained the .progress of the proposal.
Foley clarified the Solaris development was responsible for making improvements to the
pocket park. Daly moved to approve the ordinance with Foley seconding. Newbury did
not.agree with converting retail to residential. During a pause for public comment, Joe
Staufer said he had adequately contributed to the town and the ordinance deserved to be
passed: Local homeowner association representative Anne Bishop spoke in support of the
application and ordinance. "in our neighborhood we think this is a good thing.:.) think it.is
a very private lovely space and no one is being disrupted." Vail Homeowners Association
representative Jim Lamont expressed concern Council demands (public access to a
private pocket park) were "heavy-handed." Daly then withdrew his motion. Hitt moved to
table the item until December 2, 2009, with Gordon seconding (In order to provide. a
comparable public benefit analysis). Devlin said his client had no control over whether the
pocket park was public or not. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.

efforts on the west coast. Wild- Land Fuels Mitigation Manager Tom Talbot. reported the
wild land fire. crew focused on the high risk Intermountain and East Vail areas. The Fire
Department also provided subsidized wood chipping for local. homeowners.
'The third item on the agenda was a Discussion of Dispersed.. Loading and Delivery
Policies in Vail Village.
Public Information Officer Suzanne Silverthom asked Council to review:the three options.
for dispersed loading and delivery in Vail Village and to provide. direction for
implementation. During the summer of 2007, a 17-member working group was formed to
evaluate current loading and delivery practices and to recommend. options for future
implementation . of a dispersed ,.loading and delivery network in Vail Village using a
combination of underground delivery bays at three major development sites (Mountain
Plaza, . Vail Plaza Hotel and Solaris) as well as on-street. loading zones. The group
included representatives from the retail, restaurant, lodging and delivery sectors as well
as representatives-- from 'the Town Council, chamber associations and the residential
neighborhood. This group identified ten goals for Vail's loading and delivery efforts and
presented a series of recommendations to the Vail Town Council on October 16, 2007.
While seven interim recommendations were approved during the 2007_ Town Council-
discussion, decisions on implementation of additional policies -.Were deferred until
completion of -the community loading and delivery - bays at Mountain.,.:Plaza (formerly
Front Door). This facility was opened for, community -. use- on November.1.7, 2008, and

If
March 17, 2009, with recommendations for modifications, as needed.
Daly asked if the proposed changes would be financially onerous on restaurateurs. Hitt
said one of the-groups' objectives was to minimize any -additional cost to local business
owners. Local restaurateur Susan Fritch asked if any accommodations would. be made
for inclement weather (subsequently causing.'delayed deliveries). Police Commander
Susan Douglas verged accommodations would be made. Douglas clarified there would
be' a two week public information period prior to rigid enforcement being undertaken.
Local hotelier Paul Johnston expressed concern about potential truck congestion. on
Hanson Ranch Road. Susan Fritz stated, °I don't want our best efforts to adversely
affect the vitality of the Village ...I don't think the UPS driver is a problem on the street... I
am somewhat opposed to banning trucks totally." John Cogswell asked if the loading
docks. at Mountain Plaza were-being utilized. Hall-said the docks had only opened the,
day prior. Cogswell then encouraged starting the program . during the upcoming ski
season. Hermann Staufer said he did not want Vail Village business owners to feel like
they were being penalized for doing business in that area. "The merchants should not
be penalized by having higher costs for taking deliveries., The Police Department will be
responsible for identifying times when inclement weather has created the necessity for
delivery delays. Hitt moved-to approve the recommendation with Daly seconding. - Vail
Village Homeowner's Association -representative Jim Lamont asked if the stairs at
Wildflower Chute would be converted into a ramp. "After looking across the town... I
have to say I am so incredibly proud of what this community has arrived at ...We are
ready to be what we have become ...The best winter resort in the world." Johnston
expressed concern the parking spaces to the north of the Christiania Lodge were
proposed to be used for skier drop-off., Douglas clarified no delivery noise complaints
had' been received in the past five years. Daly clarified the- delivery.. plan was
enforceable.. Dick Neal asked where Colorado Mountain Express. would be able to drop
off hotel, guests: Local business owner Bill Hanlon said the proposal could -work if
everyone participates. "It can work if we have good enforcement... People love the
pedestrianization of areas ...We have to protect our-streetscape.". Foley stressed not
being severely "heavy handed" with enforcement as the program proceeds. Daly said
he was impressed with the work that had taken place on the issue. The motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was the Timber Ridge' Redevelopment / Consideration .
the recommendations of staff and the Timber Ridge Redevelopment Advisory Council
(TRRAC) regarding the process for redevelopment of Timber Ridge.
Zemler reported three process alternatives for the redevelopment of Timber Ridge had
been identified and evaluated by staff and the TRRAC. The alternatives include 1..)
Issuing a request for qualifications (RFQ); 2.) Pursuing a design/build process with,the
town as developer; and 3.) Negotiating with Vail Resorts to develop the property.
Zemler then encouraged Council to direct staff to initiate a 45-day, negotiation with Vail
Resorts to develop the property. "We have held on to this for all the right reasons and
we have come to a time when a transition is needed ... there needs to be a very detailed
conversation about financing... Someone will need to produce 20 to 30 percent equity to
acquire the type of financing that is necessary ...I think we are pretty savvy when it
comes to what we are looking at Timber Ridge." The town will more than likely be
required to pay the debt on the land prior to any new development being undertaken. "If
there is a significant negative it is the scale of the debt ...This project is going to require a
unique partner/developer... We want deed restrictions... We want a land lease and we
3
are going to need money ...I believe Vail resorts is most aligned with the Town of Vail for
the short and long term ...I believe Vail Resorts has the financial, ability now to do this
project." During a pause for public comment Suzanne Mueller asked Zemler what
affordable housing meant. Zemler- said "pillow" rates were targeted from $675 - $900. "1
don't mean that's affordable :..I mean that's what we are looking at at this point." Local
developer Tom Stone encouraged the Council to pursue- a request for qualifications
(RFQ). "I think Vail . Resorts is going to be part of -the solution for Timber
Ridge... Financing has not come to.an end.:.. It's tougher than it should be." Cleveland
asked how the town could determine if a group has ,the ability to finance this project.
Dallas based developer Open/Hillwood Partners representative Tom- Braun encouraged
Council to pursue an RFQ. "If you..don't do an RFQ you don't know what is out there."
Vail Homeowner's Association representative Jim Lamont encouraged Council to pursue
the redevelopment of Timber Ridge in preparation for the next robust economic period.
Local developer Jen Wright encouraged Council to pursue the redevelopment-along with
Vail Resorts. "This is a good opportunity to take a chance." Vail Resorts representative
Keith Fernandez said the company would be interested in pursuing negotiations with the
town. Newbury moved to issue an RFQ for the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. with
Rogers seconding. Fernandez said if the town was to issue an RFQ, Vail Resorts would
continue to pursue the North Day Lot. Daly expressed concern that bond market
volatility (the town - owes: $19 million for the project) was severe enough to warrant.
immediate negotiation with. Vail Resorts. Speaking in support of an RFQ, Rogers
commented, 9 think competition is good and knowledge is power." Foley spoke in
support of negotiating with Vail Resorts. He then encouraged the development. of a.
Simba Run underpass or another pedestrian 1-70 walk-way in the area.. Cleveland
shared Daly's concerns about the economy and spoke. in favor of pursuing a deal with
Vail Resorts: During a pause for public comment, Rick Scalpello asked if Council should
vote on the Timber Ridge Redevelopment Advisory Committee's recommendation prior
to voting for the motion on the floor. Ruther clarified a parking discussion would be held
by the. PEC in the very near future. Local developer Peter Knobel said the town should
enter negotiations with Vail Resorts. The motion passed 5-2, . with Daly and . Foley
opposed.
The fifth item on the agenda was. a Discussion of the Town of Vail Newsrack Regulations
for the 2008-2009 Ski Season. u
Town Attorney Matt Mire explained in 1999 the Town of Vail (the "Town") adopted
Ordinance No. 20, Series of 1999 (the "Ordinance") which.set forth a certain time, place
and manner in which regulations relating to the placement of newsracks on Town-owned
property and rights-of-way would be decided by lottery. Among other things, the
ordinance established two speck ."Newsrack Boundaries" in Vail Village and . Lions
Head respectively.. For the reasons set forth in the ordinance, the town has a continued
obligation and responsibility to regulate news racks located on town-owned property and
public rights-of-way for protection of the public heath, -safety and welfare. In connection
with the regulations adopted in the ordinance, which was codified and made part of the
Vail Town Code in Title 8 Chapter 6, the town established various newsrack "clusters"
within both of the above-referenced Newsrack Boundaries. The Vail Village and
LionsHead newsrack . clusters 'appear today .in a slightly modified form due to.
redevelopment. Because,,there currently exists more demand than available newsrack
space within the two newsrack Boundaries, the staff had planned. to hold a lottery to
allocate the available space. The lottery was not going to.give priority to any certain
publication(s). Prior to conducting the lottery, the Vail Mountaineer requested that
4
priority, be given to, publications which publish more : frequently., A priority, sas .
suggested is set forth in Section II(D) of the draft regulations: Vail Daily publisher Steve
Gall clamed the publication of the Vail Trail had ceased. "We will continue to publish the
Mountain Weekly." Orographic Enterprises publisher Chris Amoroso said many .
publications had.-been attempting to improve their positioning in, newsracks., "There
should be a solution to get relevant information into these boxes ... There have.been long
term customers who have not been able to improve their positioning in these boxes."
American Educational Institute representative Diane Coggin spoke in. support -of not
disenfranchising ,existing publications. Vail Mountaineer publisher Jim Pavelich spoke in
support. Of giving preference to publications based on frequency. Gordon- moved to.go
forward-.without giving preference to frequency of publication in a lottery that would
maintain current regulations until May 31, 2009, at which time the town intendsao have
new regulations in place which set forth a process for allocation of newsrack space .
moving forward. Newbury seconded. Daly said in the spring of 2009 the. newsrack
.system needed to be totally revamped. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The sixth item on the agenda was the Second reading of the 2009, Budget Ordinance
No. 25, Series 2008.
Council gave final approval to a $51 million budget for 2009. In approving the budget :at
the meeting, Council directed Town Manager Stan . Zemler =and, his staff to closely
monitor expenditures and incoming revenue in the event additional adjustments are
needed. The budget as approved reflects a transfer of $750,000 from the General Fund
to the Capital Projects Fund in recognition of the need to sustain Vail's world class
infrastructure. The transfer is made possible by an $800,000 cut in the General Fund as
directed earlier by the Town Council. This means 61 percent of the .$19.4 million
projected' sales tax is allocated to the General Fund and 39 percent to the Capital,
Projects Fund. This adjustment to revenues boosts the, fund balance in :.the. Capital.
Projects Fund to $3.9 million for 2009 and leaves the General Fund with a surplus of'
approximately $38,000 for 2009 and ending fund balance of $21.7 million. When the split
is greater than 50-50, the budget adoption process requires a super- majority vote of the
Town Council, which was approved on .a 5-2 vote. Earlier during the budget process, the
Council directed town staff to cut or defer projects.to reduce expenses for 2009 in
response to the changing economic climate. Specifically; revenue from both Sales Tax
and Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) were reduced by a total of $1.2 million.
Expenditures were also adjusted by $6.5 million for 2009; General Fund operations
were reduced by, approximately $800,000; and capital projects in both - the Capital
Projects Fund and RETT Fund of $5.6 million were deferred until- 2010. In. total, -
projected 2009 revenue of $50.1 million is a 5.7 percent decrease from, 2008. The 2009
budget includes up to a six percent merit pool for full-time employees, which was
discussed at length by Council on Nov. 4 and again on Nov. 18. Gordon initially moved
to, approve the ordinance with Newbury seconding. Daly commented, "I believe we are
charging forward and not reflecting the economic environment we are living, in right now:"
He then urged Council to be conservative as they moved forward. "I think there is a
sense this is gong to be a very difficult winter." Budget and Financial Reporting Manager
Kathleen Halloran said all revenue projections would be closely monitored. Foley spoke
in support of providing restrooms near Mayor's Park on West Meadow Drive. -Gordon
encouraged Council to support the merit increase for employees in order to encourage
excellent customer service. 'Rogers said she believed the town could not afford to cut
back on human capital when more would be expected of employees. During a pause for
public comment, Rick Scalpello urged,Council to use caution moving forward as the
5
I.
r
world's economic situation was tenuous. "This is not a conservative budget in the climate
we are in." Foley then expressed concern that employee compensation and benefits had .
rapidly increased. The motion failed, 4-3, with Foley, Daly and Hitt: opposed. A super
majority of at least five votes in favor was required for the budget to pass. Human
Resources Director John Power stated, "Our competitive situation has deteriorated."
Newbury, commented, "It seems to me that we are looking for an arbitrary number to
cut." Hitt moved to. table the budget until December 2, with- Daly seconding. "To operate
under a state of fear, is- not the way to do it," Hitt said.- The -Town Manager was directed
to find budget reductions in the General Fund. Rogers then. recommended .looking for
new revenue sources. Cleveland emphasized Council would have.. ample time to-make
adjustments as time goes on. The motion to table the item failed 34 with Foley; Daly .
and Hitt voting in favor. Rogers: moved to approve the-budget as- proposed with -
Newbury seconding. The ordinance passed 5-2, with Daly and Foley opposed.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
November 25, 2008
Sales Tai
Sales tax -information as of October, 2008 is not available at the time of this report.
Updated numbers will be provided for the December 2°d meeting.
Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was -up 3.7% for the month of
October, and up 4.2% for the first half of 2008 compared to prior year.
Use Tag
Use tax. collections began as of January 1, 2008. As of November 25, collections total
$582,_402 of revenue. This is $82K over the amended budget of $500,000.
Construction Y,.. ---it Fee Revenue
Construction permit revenue currently totals $2.4M, down 3% from this time last year.
Due to conservative budgeting; collected revenue currently ' exceeds the amended 2008
budget by $715K. The decrease in activity from the prior year is due to both major and
non=major redevelopment projects. Major redevelopment projects make up 78% of_the,
total, and construction permit fee revenue from those projects is up by 3% from prior
year. Revenue from non-major projects is down 20% from this time last year. . "
Real estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT. collections through November 21, 2008, total $7.3 million, just over the annual
budget of $7.2 million. This amount is a 40% increase from this time last year primarily
due to recent sales of major redevelopment projects. The overall real estate market in
Eagle County is down 28% in sales dollars and down 446/o in sales .transactions as of
September, 2008.
Major redevel,,.F ent projects such as Arrabelle, Chalets at the Lodge at Vail, Forest
Place, Manor Vail, One Willow Bridge, Vail Plaza and The Willows account for 59% of
year-to-date 2008 collections. This is significantly higher than the 26% from November
2007, and is the reason Vail's RETT revenue is performing much better than the rest of
the county.
RETT collections from property transfers not related to major redevelopment projects
dropped by 22% year-to-date as of November, 2008 compared with 2007. This is more
in line with the sales decrease across the county.

4P-111. Overview of the Project
It Begins and Ends with the Mountain. This sustainable mixed-used resort at the base of Vail Mountain is for
those who desire a deep connection to Vail's beauty, alpine challenges and dynamic experiences.
Sophisticated in style yet designed to integrate seamlessly with the natural environment, Ever Vail immediately
evokes a sense of discovery and excitement. And as one of the largest "green" resort projects in North
America, it offers an enduring connection to one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Above all, Ever
Vail offers a level of luxury, amenity and service befitting a mountain of this stature.
To experience Ever Vail is to be completely immersed in the spirit of Vail Mountain, yet with full access to the
luxuries and creature comforts of a top-level resort. This contrast serves to create a dynamic attitude that flows
throughout-the space, infusing everyone and everything with Ever Vail's unique energy.
From the moment you enter Ever Vail, you'll feel enveloped and engaged. Moving through its three districts,
you can match your experience to your mindset: from the quiet buzz of Ever Vail's main street, to the
effervescence of the central plaza, or the natural animation of the creekside district, there is truly something for
any mood or occasion. Each district features an array of retail, restaurants and amenities that may only be
found at Ever Vail, all of which have been chosen to satisfy the most discerning tastes.
Yet amidst the variety and sophistication of our offerings, nature still takes center stage. Our new high-speed
• gondola is an inviting gateway to the mountain's offerings, while majestic views of the Gore Range
complement quiet moments along the restored Red Sandstone Creek.
Ever Vail is on 11.906-acre parcel of land located in west lionshead. Vail Resorts is planning to redevelop
this land as an environmentally progressive development. The new resort village plans call for:
• 223 whole ownership condominium units, with approximately 444,000 sq. ft. of GRFA
• 25 fractional/vacation ownership condominium units
• 53 employee housing units, consisting of approximately 53,000 sq. ft. of GRFA
• A 4-5 star Rock Resorts hotel, with approximately 127 rooms
• 131,000 square feet of commercial retail and restaurant space
• Approximately 34,000 sq. ft. of office
• 100,000-square-foot mountain operations facility, completely subterranean
• A gondola to serve as the fifth base portal to Vail Mountain
• A public park along Red Sandstone Creek -
• A new public parking structure with approximately 400 spaces, and with a total parking allotment
of:
Residential: 370
Commercial: 426
Public Spaces: 400
VR spaces: 391
• Total Spaces 1586
The proposal also includes the following:
• Addition of a new roundabout at the intersection of Forest Road and S. Frontage Road
• A new alignment of S. Frontage Rd., paralleling 1-70. This alignment eliminated the existing curvature
of the road, and allows for improvements to meet current road standards and traffic needs. •
• Undergrounding of unsightly overhead utility lines.
• Upsizing of utility lines
• A new bridge crossing over Red Sandstone Creek, allowing Red Sandstone Creek to become a town
amenity.
• The re-aligned S. Frontage Rd. is designed to allow for the future Simba Run underpass.
The site today includes the Vail Professional Building, Cascade Crossing, Vail Maintenance Yard, the old gas
station site, along with portions of the existing S. Frontage Road.

A. Town of (/ail SubmMol for Review
The development of Ever Vail requires many applications for review by the Town of Vail. The following lists
each application submitted, along with a brief description of each application and the reviewing board:
Application Type Brief Description
The preliminary subdivision plan which was approved. by the
PEC in 2007 has since expired. The purpose of the
Preliminary Subdivision preliminary subdivision plan is to plat the property into Lots 1
Plan and 2 of the Ever Vail Subdivision: From the previous
approval; additional land has been added"to accommodate
some utilities. The preliminary subdivision plan includes the
relocation of the S. Frontage Road.
The area of Ever Vail to the west of Red Sandstone is currently
Rezoning zoned ABD and the current S. Frontage Rd. is unzoned. These
areas will be zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 2, to match the
eastern portion of the property.
Text Amendment Ever Vail is not currently within the Core Area for parking
requirements. The amendment allows for Ever Vail to be within
the Core Area, freeing up parking for public use.
The private parking structure, maintenance facility and the
Conditional Use Permits gondola are identified as conditional use permits in the LMU-2
zone district, along with Type III employee housing units on the
first level:
Major Exterior Alteration The construction of buildings within LMU-2 requires a major
exterior alteration.

B. Vision of Ever Vail and LEED Ceifific&on
The U.S. Green Building Council has developed a LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System. All
of the following information regarding LEED is frorn their document entitled LEED for Neighborhood
Development Rating System. The U.S. Green Building Council, the Congress for the New Urbanism, and the
Natural Resources Defense Council-three organizations that represent some.of the nation's leaders among
progressive design professionals, builders, developers,, and the -environmental community-Have come
together to develop a national set of standards for neighborhood location and design based on the
combined principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green building. The goal of this partnership is to
7
establish these standards for assessing and rewarding' environmentally superior development practices within
the rating framework of the LEED (leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating
SystemTM
The Neighborhood Development, rating system is designed to.-certify exemplary development projects-that
perform well in terms of smart growth, new urbanism, and, green building. Projects may constitute whole
neighborhoods, fractions of neighborhoods, or multiple. neighborhoods. Smaller, infill projects that are single
use but,complement existing neighboring.uses should,be able to earn certification as well as larger and mixed
use developments.
Ever Vail.has been accepted to be a LEED certified. neighborhood development and has received its first
review by the USGBC. Ever Vail achieved a LEED Platinum Rating in September 2008 when it completed
Final Stage One LEED-ND.Review was returned.by.'USGBC. According to,USGBC, Ever Vail was the:
• 12th LEED-ND project certified
S 2nd Platinum LEED-ND project -
• 1 st LEED-ND project in Colorado/Rocky Mountain Region
• LEED-ND project furthest east of the Pacific .
Ever Vail can now-be referred to as a LEED certified plan or LEED Platinum plan, and USGBC has issued Vail
Resorts Development Company a letter stating that if the project is built as proposed, it will be able to achieve
LEED for Neighborhood Development Stage 2 Certification:
Overview of Ever Vail's Final Review: Of the 86 points submitted by the project team, Ever Vail needed 80
to achieve a Platinum rating. The Final Stage One LEEDND Review documented 82 achieved points. The four
denied points were:
• NPDc10 Transportation Demand Management, Options 3 - USGBC ruled that Option 3 is only
available for developer-sponsored transit (as opposed to public transit).
• GCTc13 On-Site Renewable Energy- The LEED Reviewer ruled that that the project did not include a
strong enough commitment to incorporate renewable energy. Nonetheless, should renewable energy
be incorporated in Ever Vail in accordance with credit requirements, the project should still be able to
achieve this point during the Stage Two application.
• IDPc1.1: NPDc10 Option 3 Exemplary Performance - This credit was denied because NPDc10 was
denied. The project can apply for a different ID credit during Ever Vai_I's Stage Two application.
• IDPcl.4: M&V Plan for Residential/Commercial Energy Use - The proposed development-wide M&V
Plan was not accepted. The project can apply for a different ID credit during Ever Vail's Stage Two
application. _
• Ultimately, of the 4 denied points, Ever Vail is still eligible for 3 points during its Stage Two
application. This is an optimal. situation because it allows the project to lose another 3 points during
the design process (Stage Two) and yet still maintain its Platinum status throughout the remainder of
design and construction.
Next Steps: Now that Ever Vail has"achieved a Platinum Rating in Stage One of the LEED-ND pilot program,
it will need to actively work to maintain its Platinum status as the design of the project progresses in
anticipation of its Stage Two LEED-ND Application, to be submitted after entitlements are finalized and design
of the project is complete.

D. Master Plan Analysis for Ever Vail
The lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (LRMP) provides the framework for the Town of Vail to review this
application to facilitate the redevelopment of Ever Vail. " The, lionshead. Redevelopment Master Plan" was,
originally adopted in December of 1998. At the time,, the Town recognized" that Vail was nearing an
important crossroads and that major changes were necessary to remain at a competitive advantage in the ski
resort industry. The purpose statement of the LRMP clearly identifies how Vail intended to face this competition
head-on:
(Sec. 2.1)
This master plan was initiated by the Town .of flail to encourage, redevelopment and new
development initiatives within the lionshead, study area.' Both public. and private interests have
recognized that lionshead today lacks -the economic vital of " flail... Village, its neighboring
commercial district, and fails to offer a world-class resort experience.. lionshead's economic potential
has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes: lack of growth in accommodation units rhot
beds H, poor retail quality, the apparent `deterioration of existing buildings; an uninteresting and
disconnected pedestrian environment, mediocre .architectural character, and the absence of incentives
for redevelopment.
Redevelopment is critical for Vail and lionshead if the community is to remain a competitive four
season resort. Other resorts are spending millions of dollars to upgrade their. facilities in order to
attract more visitors year-round. Growth in the number of skiers annually has slowed to one to. two
percent, intensifying competition for market share. "Skiers are spending less time skiing and more time
shopping, dining out, and enjoying other off-mountain activities. As a result, the demand for quality
retail shopping and a greater diversity of experiences has dramatically increased. All of these are
sorely in need of improvement in lionshead. Vail, and specifically lionshead will fall behind if the
community fails to upgrade the quality of its facilities and correct the existing flaws in its primary
commercial nodes.
This purpose statement reads much like Vail Resorts purpose for the Ever Vail development:
• An increase and diversification in hot beds: This is accomplished through the 127-room Rock
Resort hotel, 25 fractional/vacation units, and 223 dwelling.units in a voluntary short-term
rental pool.
• An increase and diversification in retail offerings, including nearly 100,000 sq. ft. of retail
space. Current plans include the possibility of alive music venue and a market/grocer.
• Removal of older, deteriorating buildings, including an aging maintenance facility, and the
existing strip mall-type use. The "new structures will. be built to LEED standards, and the, new
maintenance facility will allow Mountain Operations.to have a state-of-the-art, efficient facility
to serve their needs.
All of this will be done in an exciting and inter-connected pedestrian environment bounded by remarkable
architecture and an extraordinary natural environment.
•
•
10
The LRMP provides six policy objectives which further detail this purpose statement:.
(Sec. 2.3)
i Renewal and Redevelopment
Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to. become a warmer, more vibrant
environment for guests and residents. Lionshead needs an, appealing and coherent identity, a sense
of p/ace, a personality, a purpose, and an improved aesthetic character
Vitality and Amenities
We must-seize the opportunity to enhance guest experience and community interaction through
expanded and additional activities and amenities such as performing ails. venues, conference
facilities, ice rinks, streetscape, parks and other recreational improvements.
Stronger Economic Base Through Increased live Beds
In order to enhance the. vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and redevelopment in Lionshead must
promote improved occupancy rates and the creation of, additional bed base. ('live beds" or `warm
beds) through new lodging products. Live beds and warm beds are best described as residential or
lodging rooms or units that are designed for occupancy by visitors, guests, individuals, or families on
a short term rental basis. In order to improve occupancy rates and create additional bed base in
Lionshead, applications for new development and redevelopment projects which include a residential
component shall provide live beds in the form of accommodation units, fractional fee club units, lodge
dwelling units, timeshare units, attached accommodation units (Z e, lock-off units) or dwelling units
which are; included in a, voluntary rental management program and available for short term rental.
further, it is the expressed goal of this Plan that in addition to creating additional. bed base through
new lodging products, there shall be no net loss of existing live beds within the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area.
Improved Access and 0xvlah%on
The flow of pedestrian, vehicular, bicycle and mass transit tragic must be improved within and through
Lionshead.
Improved Infnxshudure
The infrastructure of Lionshead (streets, walkways, transportation systems, parking, utilities, loading
and delivery systems, snow removal and storage capacity) and its public and private services must be
upgraded to support redevelopment and revitalization efforts and to meet the service expectations of
our guests and residents.
Creative Financing for Enhanced Private Pro& and Public Revenues:.
financially creative and fiscally realistic strategies must be identified so that adequate capital may be
raised from all possible sources to fund desired private and public improvements.
Chapter 3 of the LRMP identifies all of the existing conditions presenting challenges to the objectives of the
Town of Vail. Many of these are described in general terms. However, the Maintenance Yard is specifically
identified and addressed:
(Sec. 3.2.5.3)
Vail Associates. Service Yard
The v/ail Associates service yard, bordered by the. South frontage Road on the east and south and
Red Sandstone Creek on the west, currently contains a wide vonety. of mountain operation functions
such as snowcat service and fueling, . warehouse storage, and maintenance shops. While the service
yard is, critical to Vail Associates' mountain operations there is a strong interest on the port. of the Town
of Vcll to see the majority of these facilities relocated on mountain. According. to Vcll Associates it
may be possible to relocate many of the facilities, but the snow cat service and fueling operations
must remain at or near its current location. Specific issues regarding the service yard include:
a. Usual
Like its neighboring Amoco service station, the service yard is,: at, .the western front door to
Lionshead. -Much of the yard is screened by on existing berm, but the facility. is inconsistent with
the existing land uses in Lionshead and the desired visual character of a destination reso#. As
redevelopment occurs in west Lionshead it will become increasingly important to address these
visual concerns.
b. Access
The snow cat fueling and maintenance operations are a significant, component of the service yard
functions. Snow--cots and snowmobiles must cross the South Frontage Road to access the
mountain, frequently conflicting with traffic on the frontage road
c. Forest Road Mountain Access
Snow cats from the service yard currently access the mountain via Forest Road to the Born Free ski
run. Though a pre-existing condition, the presence of the snow cats on Forest Road has long
been a consistent complaint of the Forest Road property owners. It is clear that the removal of
snow cats from Forest Road is desirable but there is no existing secondary route to the mountain
and the alternatives for creating a new access way, while possible, 'are problematic.
This chapter also discusses the existing VR parking situation, with specific reference to the basic ground rule of
"no net loss of parking":
(Sec. 3.9.4)
3.9.4 VcJl Associates Employee Parking
Vcll Associates currently utilizes two large surface parking lots within the study area for its employee
parking needs. The North Day lot (see figure 3-15), wish a capacity of approximately 7 05 cars, is
located behind the landmark tower and is the site proposed for, a. transportation facility, employee.
housing, and other uses. contemplated under the zoning on the property ?LMtf 7) . The west day lot,
located just west of the Marriott parking structure, has an approximate capacity of 760 cars and
represents a significant development opportunity. Parking displaced by redevelopment of these sites
must be replaced within the [ionshead study area to satisfy the ground rule requiring no net loss of
parking. The displaced parking will be provided in West Uonshead : within - a parking structure
included os part: of the Evervcd project.
As part of the submittal, Vail Resorts will be proposing replacement of parking at the Ever Vail site, including
the following:
• 105 spaces from the North Day Lot. While. that lot is not currently approved.. for
development, it is the proposed location fora significant employee housing project, which
will eliminate the existing parking lot.
• 160 spaces from the West Day Lot. This parking was originally displaced to the Holy Cross
site/Maintenance Yard, and will now be included in Ever Vail.
12
Chapter 4 of the LRMP provides recommendations for the overall study area, and includes a.section on the
West Lionshead neighborhood:
(Sec. 4.1.5)
West Lionshead - Residentia%Mixed-Use Hub
The western 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
Building, and Cascade Crossing. This area of 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 Vcll does place a high value on maintaining the of{•ce
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, Mcd Resorts has the opportunity to
bring M. service to this part of Lionshead. lift service brings with it 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 other improvements. While lift access will
certainly energize this area during the winter months, attention should be given to creating a year-
round attraction within this area of Lionshead.
The .master. plan recommends that this hub become a residential/ mixed use area with on emphasis
on meeting the needs of both the local community and our guests. 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 Vcd Mountain. The
catalyst for this mixed use hub is ski lift access to 1/a11 Mountain. Consideration should be given to
integrating employee housing into the redevelopment of West Lionshead in accordance with the
Town's employee housing policies and regulations. To the extent possible development patterns in
this area should reflect north south orientation of buildings, visual penetrations to the mountain, and a
pedestrian, oriented environment. The degree of north south building orientation maybe cl cult gi ven
the relatively narrow east-west orientation of this area. In addition, the introduction .of ski lift access in
this location creates a catalyst for a 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 locations. tt mayclso'be possible to relocate the entire mountain.service yard to
a new location in the West lonshead area which would allow for greater flexib 41 in the
redevelopment of this site. However as the. area develops it.is critical that new uses. be connected to
the primary pedestrian corridors and that they be served by the Town of Vcd in-town transit system.
The above section of the LRMP clearly states the intention for this area, to become a residential and mixed use
area, to include high density residential development, lodging,. office,- retail space; employee housing and
parking. The uses proposed at Ever Vail clearly align with this intent. - While each of these uses will be
addressed in later sections of this submittal document, it is clear that Ever Vail meets the recommendations of
the LRMP.
•
13
Chapter 4 also includes the following section on public transportation:
(Sec.4.5.1)
Connection to West Lionshead
West Lionshead consists of the West Day Lot, the - Vc11 Associates, service center, the sanitation plant,
the Holy Cross lot, the former gas station site, the l/ail Professional Building; 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 of 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 portal, retail space, office space and residential development, transit service to this
area and interconnections to other portals will be. critical to develop in the future. In' addition, the
update of the `Vail Transportation Master Plan shall provide direction on the ultimate location of a
Lionshead Transit Facility 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 (1, 200
feet).
(Sec. 4.5.2. 1)
Relocate the Regional Transit Stop
It is recommended that the. Lionshead regional transit stop, currently located at the. Lionshead Place cul
e,-sac, be relocated to the proposed North Day Lot, the Lionshead parking structure, and West
Lionshead. 'This will provide a Lionshead. connection between the regional transit system and the Town
of Vail transit system: In ' addition, visitors and- employees coming to Lionshead by regional bus w111
arrive at a defined portal Instead of the current aback door on Lionshead Place. Finally, this will
remove the large regional buses from West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place. It may be possible
to locate elements of a regional transit stop in the West Lionshead area in con junction with a new ski
lift and parking facility. However, given its location on the periphery of Lionshead, this area may not
be the most viable location for a regional transit stop. Notwithstanding the above, facilities for skier
drop-off, private. shuttle 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 development competition for the Lionshead Parking
Structure redevelopment, which would include a transit facility. It is anticipated that the 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 Facility and/or the /ype
of transit facilities that may be necessary in West Lionshead.
As this section indicates, redevelopment of West Lionshead would be challenging without the addition of a . .
lift. All areas of-Evervail will be within 1200 ft. of the proposed gondola. This gondola has been designed
to be central to the site, to maximize accessibility. In addition, the intent is to maximize public transit to the
site and the proposal includes:
• Charter bus parking spaces in the loading dock on level P2.
• Bus drop-off/pick up on both the west and east sides of the site.
• Skier drop-off'spaces at the large roundabout on the west side, and' at the entrance to the main plaza
on the east side.
•
14
Chapter 4 provides direction on the potential realignment of S. Frontage Road:
• (Sect 4.6.2)
South Frontage Rood
Recommendations outlined below address potential re-alignment of portions of the frontage road,
ingress and egress improvements, bicycle/pedestrian improvements, and visual improvements. For a
detailed discussion of capacity and the impacts of future development on the frontage road, see the
trafc impact study contained in appendix A. Figure 4-9 depicts potential redevelopment without the
realignment of the Frontage Road while figure 4-9a depicts redevelopment with a partial realignment
of the Frontage Road.
Potenfial Realignment
The concept of realigning the South Frontage Road at the western end of the study area grew
out of public discussions about /and development and traffic flow in West Lionshead. Relative
to tragic flow, realignment will remove the conflict that now exists between through-tragic and
mountain service vehicles (snow-cats and snowmobiles) entering and exiting the Vcd
Associates service yord. Realignment will position the road to the north of most new
development, thus reducing the potential for conflicting turning 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 properly 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 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 Alignment
The proposed realignment of the South Frontage Road is depicted in figure 4-9a.
Critical design issues include the width of the road and the radius of the curves. Both
of these factors will be important in reducing the speed of vehicles entering the
Lionshead area and the amount of land consumed by the two curved road sections.
Cooperation between properly owners, developers, the Town of Vail, and the
Colorado Department of Transportation will be necessary 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 alignment depicted in figure 4-9a terminates
perpendicular to the frontage road and does not require the acquisition of private
property. A new parcel of developable /and, suitable for offices or non-resort retail,
would be created on the southeast comer of this intersection.
18
15
C. Forest Road Connection
forest Road could be realigned to cross through the newly created development
parcel, providing access to that site and connecting at right angles to the frontage ,
road. Another a/temative that should be considered is to 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-transit route to the
west end of Lionshead and also keeps in place the existing utility corridor.
e. Feasibility of Realignment
The ability to realign the frontage road will be heavily influenced by costs, CDOT
(Colorado Department of Transportation), and the Federal highway administration.
Future west 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.
f. Future Frontage Road Re-alignment
The opportunity may exist to re-locate the Frontage Road the full length of the West
Lionshead planning area. The benefit of this alternative would be to eliminate the
'frontage Road barrie' between the Holy Cross site and the Vail Professional
Building. While this alternative would require coordination with other surrounding •
land owners, it could warrant further study and evaluation in the future.

Vail Resorts has been working successfully with CDOT on the complete re-alignment along the full length of
the planning area. The next step in the process is approval by the FHWA, which also appears to be
progressing favorable. A traffic study by Kimley-Horne and Associates has been submitted to further address
the S. Frontage Road alignment.

Related to the issue of transportation, Chapter 4 of the LRMP provides direction on Public Parking and
potential locations, including the following:
' (Sec. 4.8.3.3.)
West lionshead
The construction of a new public parking facility at the . west end of lionshead has been a planning
consideration since the,,comp/etion of the Vail Transportation 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. It is well located in relation to the potential new eastbound 1-70 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 focility 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 lift in West lionshead. It is anticipated that the new public parking structure
would contain approximately 400 public parking spaces, which would be in excess of any parking
requirements generated by proposed development. The update of the Vail Transportation Plan should
provide final direction on the location and quantity of additional public parking spaces in the Town of
Vail. The location of additional public parking should consider where parking is most optimal for
both guests and employees, year round utilization, mountain operations, and overall tragic circulation.
Given the location for this parking facility, it had been assumed that regular transit or shuttle service
. would be 'necessary because of its distance from the retail core area and the ski yard (greater than a
12007foot walking radius). However, the location of the parking structure would be proximate to the
new lift and as such the need for regular shuffle service would be minimized. However, some
provisions for bus stops and/or a transit facility should be considered for the parking structure.
Based on the parking requirements of the uses on site, Vail Resorts is proposing400 public parking spaces,
in compliance with the recommendations of the LRMP.
Employee Housing is also a primary subject of Chapter 4 of the LRMP, and the West lionshead
neighborhood is identified as a potential site:
„ (Sec. 4.9.4.3)
Vail Associates Service Yarn! Holy Cross Site, Vail Professional Building, Cascade- Crossing, North
Day lot, and the foimergas station site
All redevelopment in. West lionshead- will need to conform to the Town's housing policies and
requirements. In 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
developments in the area consistent with these policies. Perhaps the most promising locations to
replace the Sunbird affordable housing project and to conform to the Town's housing policies and
requirements for new employee housing generation in lionshead are the North Day lot, Voil
Associates service yard,. and Holy Cross site. However, r 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
significant 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
center on the ground level of the development site. Additionally; it may be necessary to develop a
higher revenuegenerating product on a portion of the Vail Associates service 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 following issues need to be considered. While it
is important that buildings here be visually consistent with the overall character of lionshead, the
17
desire to. !Maximize the housing potential may make appropriate the following -deviations from
standard development,parameters:
a. Density
The site offers a unique opportunity, to achieve significant density- It is recommended that the
standards for density (units per acre) be increased at this location to allow for a greater
number of employee housing 'units:. While it is important that buildings here be visually
consistent with the overall character of lionshead,. the desire to maximize the housing potential
may-make appropriate the following deviations from standard development parameters.
. b.. Building Height for Employee Housing.
It may be appropriate to allow'for a greater overall building height than is otherwise allowed
under the lionshead Architectural Design Guidelines. Any increase in building height will
need to be ieviewed 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.
C. Parking
It may be appropriate to reduce the parking requirements for employee housing at this
location given the sites proximity to transportation facilities, jobs,, and pedestrian routes. In
consideration for reducing employee parking for the housing provided on this site, parking for
other employees of the owner provided on this site should be considered. Excess parking may
be used to satisfy the no net loss of parking policy or for future parking requirements of other
development on the property.
d. Site Covera9'e"and landscaPe Area and Setbacks
Consideration should also be given to increasing site coverage and reducing setbacks and
landscape area in order to maximize the amount of employee housing on the site and/or due
to impacts associated with the development of a public transportation facility on the property.
With any deviation to •development standards prescribed in the master plan and. zoning
regulations, consideration of impacts should be afforded to the neighboring residential uses to
the North Day Lot. Any design with -such deviations will need to be sensitive to creating good
designs with mitigation measures such as heated sidewalks and well planned landscape
materials. Additionally due to impacts from the Town's dispersed transportation center on
neighboring residential uses, mitigation measures should be provided to buffer and screen
residential uses.
e. Encroachments on Town Land
The Town of 'Vail owns a small parcel of land on the north side of the north day lot which
accommodates the pedestrian bridge over the interstate highway. This land was dedicated
to the Town by Vail Associates in 1976. In order to allow for more efIcient- layout and
development of employee housing on the site and/or the dispersed transportation facility, the
Town should give consideration to allowing development of employee housing and/or
transportation uses on this parcel of land as part of the development. of the north day lot.
The Ever Vail Housing Plan is submitted in another section of this document. The current Town of Vail
regulations-for employee housing require that a minimum 'of 5.0 of the required employee housing be.
18
constructed on-site. At this time, Vail Resorts "is proposing to exceed this requirement. In addition, Vail Resorts
is proposing a variety of unit types, to serve both individuals and families.
Chapter 4 also discusses the priority of the Town of Vail to encourage the provision of Live Beds:
(Sec. 4.13)
Live Beds
The maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of the live- bed base are critical. to the future
success of Lionshead and as such, special emphasis should be placed on increasing the number of
live beds in Lionshead as the, area undergoes redeye/opment. The Lionshead area currently contains
a large percentage of the Towns overall lodging bed base. , The bed base in Lionshead's consists of
a variety of residential.and lodging products including hotels, condominiums,, timeshares and hybrids
of all, three. ..The vast majority of live beds in Lionshead ore not accommodation units in hotels, but
instead, in dwelling units in residential condominiums such as the V l 21, Treetops, Antlers Lodge,
Lion Square Lodge, Mthouse lodge, landmark Tower and Townhomes, Lionshead Arcade, and
Montaneros, all of which have some form of rental property management, program that encourages
short term rental of dwelling units when the owners are not in residence... It has been the experience in
Lionshead that condominium projects which include a voluntary rental management program have
occupancy. rates which exceed the occupancy rate of hotel products, -and therefore tend to provide
more live beds and produce more lodging tax revenues to the Town.
As stated previously, Vail Resorts has also "placed a priority on live" beds, and the development includes a
127-room Rock Resorts hotel, along with:25 fractional/vacation units, and 223" dwelling units in a voluntary
short-term rental pool.
• It is Chapter 5 of the LRMP that focused on detailed plan recommendations for specific areas within the
-
Lionshead study area, and provide direction for the redevelopment of West Lionshead:
(Sec..5.17)
West Day Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yard/ Holy Cross Site/-Gas .Station Site/ Vail Professional
&Ading/Caseade Classing
Planning for the western; end of Lionshead must consider two different scenarios: the realignment of
South Frontage Road and its retention 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 Frontage Road alignment. See figures 4-9a, and 4-
9b for the Frontage Road. realignment altematives. Notwithstanding these different Frontage Road
scenarios there should. be an, increase of existing "once square " footage and "no net loss H of retail
square footage as a" result of the redevelopment of these parcels. Higher densities and building
heights may be appropriate • in this area, particularly to encourage the development of employee
housing. However any development must meet the, overall character and visual intent of the master
plan and be compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the Veil Spa.
As compared to a separate, free-standing portal, 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
exists.: Streetscape improvements along" West,bonsheod Orcle between Concert Hall Plaza (currently
the 'w'estern 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
19
street lighting, walking surfaces, seating areas and public art are just some examples of what could
strengthen this corridor and in doing so further integrate this area with the rest of lionshead. - , 0
The development of a strong pedestrian connection between the lionshead 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 trafc and activity. However, . consideration should be given to how West
lionshead can be on 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 visit this area. This could be reinforced by a well-crafted program of
specialty retailers, ofces, and restaurants: An active program of public art, residential units that are
used for artists in residence ; 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 dust some examples of design elements or land uses that could create a catalyst for activity. In
conjunction with any application to development a new ski lift, a retai%ommerciol market study
which analyzes the area for the appropriate amount of square- footage of retaivcommercial ihat
should be included in the redevelopment of West lionshead shall-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 these zone districts, building
height and massing shall be responsive to the Gore Creek corridor, the Interstate, and how building
massing transitions at the westem end of lionshead. Buildings at the westernmost end. of West
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 height. shall
gradually lower at the westem end of this study area. The intent of these height standards is that
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 shall express no more than three to four levels before
"stepping back" to taller building mass. On the Interstate side of this area building design shall be
articulated to avoid large expanses of shear/unbroken wall planes:
a. Retention of Existina Frontaae Road Alianment
If the frontage Road remains in its current location the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels,
the Vail Professional Building and /Cascade Crossing all remain viable development sites.
The most viable site for a public parking facility would be the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross
parcels. While other lift locations are feasible, the old gas station site is a viable location for
a. base terminal. This location would require a grade separated pedestrian crossing over the
frontage Road to the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. A strong 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. Under this Frontage Road scenario
the Vail Professional Building and Cascade Crossing could be developed as a contiguous
parcel 16's assumed that these parcels would be re-zoned to lionshead Mixed Use 1. The
Holy Cross site and the Veil Professional Building both abut Red Sandstone Creek. Any
redevelopment of these parcels should consider how the Creek can be enhanced and made
an asset or amenity of this redevelopment area.
b. Frontaae Road Realianment behind the Maintenance Yard and Holv Cross site
20
The greatest benefit of this realignment alternative is that it results in one very large and
contiguous development parcel and in doing so integrates the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross
• site with the West Day Lot by removal of the barrier created by the existing Frontage Road
alignment. It also 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
pedestrian connection to the rest of Lionshead. With this alternative the most viable site for a
public parking facility would still 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 separatedpedestrian crossing to the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. However,
a grade separated crossing over the re-located Frontage Road would be needed to link the
Holy Cross site with the flail Professional Suilding. This alternative would also present the
opportunity for relocating and/or enhancing Red Sandstone Creek to make it more accessible
to the community and on aesthetically pleasing water feature. One possibility may be to pond
the creek just south of the 1-70 corridor and diverting all or a portion of the flow undemeath
the new Frontage Road in order to bring "live water" through the western 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 strong 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

It is the intent of the applicant that Ever Vail not only comply with the LRMP, but to actually further its objectives
by becoming a redevelopment project that, through its architectures, pedestrian orientation, along with
sustainable, green building principles, can be an example for all redevelopment projects in Vail. As each
application to facilitate the development of Ever Vail is addressed in more detail, please refer back to this
section in consideration of the LRMP.

IV. Preliminary Subdivision Plan
A. %n#pduction of the Preliminary Subdivision Request
Vail Resorts. is submitting a request for a preliminary review of a major subdivision to facilitate the
redevelopment of West Lionshead. The Ever Vail subdivision creates new development parcels and allows
for the relocating of S. Frontage Road. The major subdivision will include a substantial portion of the West
Lionshead area; including the. sites of the Vail Professional Building, Cascade Crossing, the Vail BP, and the
Holy Cross lot, along with the Frontage Road right-of-way. Some of these properties are currently unplatted.
8, Review Criteria for a Preliminary Plan for Subdivision
:1: The extent to which the proposed subdivision is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted
goals, objectives. and policies outlined, in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the
development objectives of the town; and
Our Analvsis:
To be the Premier Mountain Resort Community.. .
We share this, vision with the Town of Vail. It is our intent to further this vision through the addition of
world-class facilities in a new mixed use village, called Ever Vail. This subdivision will enable the
redevelopment of Ever Vail.
This vision is further supported by stated development -objectives of the Town of Vail. The purpose
statement of the Lionshead Mixed Use-2 Zone District states:
The lionsheod 'mgred use 2 district is intended to provide sites for a mmure. of muhip/e family
dwellings, lodges, hotels, frodional fee clubs, -timeshores,'lodge dwelling .units, rsstaurdnb, Aces,
skier services, light industrial adivih'es, and commercial establishments in a dustered, unified
development. Lionshead mixed use 2 district, in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master
plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, ai, open space and other amenities _appropriafe to the
permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the zone district by
establishing appropriate site development standards. This zone district is meant io encourage and
provide incentives for redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop. The
ultimate goal of these incentives is to create on economically vibrant lodging, housing, and
commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include increases in allowable gross
residential floor area, building height, and density. over the* previously established zoning in the
Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to create
economic conditions. favorable to inducing private redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance'public,- off site,
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. Public amenities which will be evaluated with
redevelopment proposals taking advantage of the incenfives created herein. may. include: streetscape
22
improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements.
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan provides the framework for the Town, of Vail to review this
major subdivision application to facilitate the redevelopment of Ever Vail. A complete analysis of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan is. included in a previous section of this overall document.
The preliminary plat approval of, this major subdivision allows Vail Resorts to. move forward in the
development of the Ever Vail into the. mixed-hub desired by the Town of Vail and described by the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.',
2. The extent to which the proposed subdivision complies with all of the standards of this title, as well as, but
not limited to, title 12, "Zoning Regulations", of this code, and other pertinent regulations that the planning
and environmental commission deems applicable; and
Our Analvsis:
The proposed subdivision complies with all of the Town's codes. Each parcel created by this 'subdivision
meets the minimum lot area requirements of 10,000 sq. ft. This plat is being submitted _ in .,conjunction
with a rezoning request so that the entirety of Parcels 1 and 2 will be zoned Lionshead Mixed Use-2.
The total area of the Ever Vail. subdivision is 1 1.906 acres or 518,625.36 sq. ft. Of the total area,
10.708 acres is defined as "buildable" or areas not within the flood-plain or with slopes in excess of
40%.
Parcel I
Parcel 1 is the eastern portion of the Ever Vail site, encompassing the parcels currently platted as Tracts A
and B, South Frontage. Road Subdivision (which is to be vacated by the proposed Ever Vail plat). It also
encompasses the current portion of the Frontage. Road right-of--way along this. portion. It is 7.867 acres
(742,686 sq. ft.).' Approximately 6.6% of Parcel 1 consists of slopes in excess of 40% (22,324 sq. ft.)
and 9,965 sq. ft. are with in the floodplain. Subtracting the total area of the site with slopes in excess of
40% minus the areas in the floodplain (excluding the areas which overlap) from the total site area leaves
a 7.139 aces or 310,977.00 sq. ft of buildable area.
Parcel.2:
Parcel 2 is the western portion of the Ever Vail site, just to the West of Red Sandstone Creek, and is the
current location of the Vail Professional Building and Cascade Crossing (zoned ABD), 'along with the
portions of the existing Frontage Road along this site. Parcel 2 is 4.039. acres (175,938 sq. ft.) With
10,502 sq. ft. with excess of _40% slopes and 11,050 sq. ft. in the floodplain. This equates to a total of
3.569 acres or 155,450 sq: ft. of buildable area.
3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship
among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and
Our Analysis:
Ever Vail provides a uriique opportunity for redevelopment. The existing uses in the area vary from office
uses to more industrial uses. The proximity of the site to both the ski mountain and Gore Creek creates
23
remarkable opportunities to capitalize on these assets, while providing uses and services that the Town
desires and needs. The relocation of the S. Frontage Road furthers these opportunities by creating a site
that can fit these uses while minimizing impacts to adjacent properties. Moving the S. Frontage Road to
a location along side 1-70 consolidates these major thoroughfares, thus minimizing the effects of traffic on
nearby properties and provides a more efficient vehicular corridor.
4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area; and
Our Analvsis:
The proposed subdivision will allow for uses consistent with the zoning on the property and compatible
with the surrounding area. The subdivision allows for the redevelopment of a Brownfield area (the former
gas station site and the Vail Maintenance yard) that will have a positive effect on the surrounding area.
The subdivision further allows for improvements and enhancements to Red Sandstone Creek, allowing for
it to become an even greater amenity to the Town of Vail while preserving and repairing the riparian
area. Direct neighbors to Ever Vail include the following:
• East: Vail Spa is currently a multi-family residential project, with limited office uses included. It is
currently zoned lionshead Mixed Use - 1, which allows for development consistent with the uses
proposed at Ever Vail.
• West: The Glen Lyon neighborhood, including the Cascade Resort are the nearest neighbors to
the west, and other than the Glen Lyon Office building, is separated by significant distance (right-
of-way and stream tract). Future development and redevelopment in this area will likely be
enhanced by the proposed development occurring at Ever Vail, including the new gondola.
• South: The Glen Lyon Office Building and the ERWSD building are the nearest neighbors to the
south. The Glen Lyon Office Building has an approved development plan in place, and this
development will be complimentary to the development occurring in Ever Vail. Vail Resorts
continues to work with the Glen Lyon Office Building to ensure that their needs, including access,
are met. Similarly, Vail Resorts continues to work with the ERWSD to ensure that all of their
concerns are addressed.
• North: Ever Vail will generally be bound by the relocated South Frontage Road and 1-70 right-of-
way to the north.
5. The extent to which the proposed subdivision is located and designed to avoid creating spatial patterns
that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or require duplication or premature extension of
public facilities, or result in a °leapfrog° pattern of development; and
Our Analvsis:
The major subdivision is necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of the Ever Vail area. As a result, this
subdivision is highly efficient as public utilities already exist in the site. Because Ever Vail is a
redevelopment project, it does not result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development. The project is more
consistent with in-fill development patterns. It is taking an existing, underutilized area and redeveloping it
24
to a better use. The realignment of the S. Frontage Road'will allow vehicular traffic to flow more
efficiently through the area.
b. The extent to which the utility lines are'.'sized to serve the planned ultimate population of the service area
to avoid future land disruption to upgrade undersized lines; and
Our Analvsis:
High capacity utility lines- already exist in the area and since this area was already considered in the
master planning of the area, proper planning of utility capacity was already undertaken. Any impacts to
the utilities will be mitigated by Vail Resorts Development Company.
7. The extent to which"the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and
serves the best interests of the community as d whole; and
Our Analvsis:
The re alignment of the S. Frontage Road will allow for development to occur in a more logical pattern,
along with consolidating and minimizing the impacts of the traffic associated-with' the S. Frontage Road
and 1-70. The alignment of the S. Frontage Road parallel to ,I-70 has been successful in other parts of
Town and allows for an efficient flow of traffic.
In addition, the properties in the Ever Vail area are a mix of unplatted, metes and bounds legal
descriptions and platted lots. The proposed subdivision will allow this area to be developed in a more
orderly pattern.
The subdivision is one step in the. overall process to'allow for the redevelopment of the West lionshead
area into Ever Vail. The subdivision allows for the provision of public parking, a new ski lift and mixed-
use hub for the Vail community. The-applicant believes that this redevelopment serves the best interest of
the community as a whole.
8. The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial impacts. on the natural
environment; including, but not limitedto; water quality, air quality; noise, vegetation, -riparian corridors,
hillsides and other'desirable natural features; and
Our Analvsis:
This major subdivision request will not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment. The site is
currently developed with commercial :usesancl quasi-industrial uses-on the site. All development proposals
on the site will be completed with the utmost concern for the protection of the natural environment in the.
area, as we consider natural areas amenities to the guests of Ever Vail. As other included applications
indicate, we are hoping to improve the riparian characteristics of Red Sandstone Creek, which borders
the property to the east of the Vail 'Professional Building. The applicant hopes to make the creek a great
asset to the area and to do so, will ensure that there are no adverse impacts to the natural environment.
Vail Resorts has made it a priority to create an environmentally beneficial project in Ever Vail:
25
• Brownfield Redevelopment. The Amoco site, which Vail Resorts purchased for inclusion. in this
redevelopment project, had previous oil and gas spills. Vail Resorts is in the process of having the,
soils rejuvenated in order to develop a LEED certified building and ski lift on that site as part of the
development. The development will encourage the reuse of land . by developing a previously
developed site, . not forest or open space, reducing the impact of development on undeveloped
land. The project is the environmentally conscious redevelopment of property on which previous
uses have and currently include: fuel storage and disbursement, a light industrial machine shop,
light industrial oil refining operations, vehicle and heavy machinery maintenance and repair, and
warehousing.
• Wetland and Water Body Conservation. The project will conserve natural hydrology and habitat
and preserve biodiversity though conservation and improvement of onsite. wetlands by removing a
culvert and day-lighting Red Sandstone Creek and enhancing its surrounding wetlands.

V. Rezoning
A. Introduction to the Rezoning Request
Vail Resorts is submitting a request for a rezoning from ABD to LMU-2 for Parcel 2, created by the Ever Vail
Subdivision. The site is currently zoned Arterial Business District and is the site of the Vail Professional Building
and Cascade Crossing, located at 953 and 1031 Frontage Road. In addition, Vail Resorts is also
requesting to zone the portion of the S. Frontage Road right-of-way, which is currently unzoned, to LMU-2.
The end result will be the entirety of the Ever Vail Subdivision zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 2. The majority
of the site is already zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 2, including the Vail Maintenance Facility and the old
gas station site (see below).

B. Review Criteria for a Rezoning Request
1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elements of the
adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with
the development objectives of the town; and
Our Analvsis:
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan provides the framework for the Town of Vail to review this
rezoning request from Arterial Business District to Lionshead Mixed Use-2, including with the zoning of the
Frontage Road right-of-way. A complete analysis of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan in
included in another section of this submittal.
The applicant believes that it is the intent of the Town to rezone that portion of West Lionshead zoned
Arterial Business District to Lionshead Mixed Use - 2, as the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan clearly
states.
2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on
the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning
documents; and
28
Our Analvsis:
S The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan clearly indicates these properties to be a part of the West
Lionshead mixed-use development. The property to the-east, which includes the current. maintenance
facility, is currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 2. The property to the south (Glen Lyon Office
Building) is zoned Special Development District. The proposed site is bounded by 1-70 to the North. The
realignment of the Frontage Road will allow this area to become. one cohesive development and the
zoning of Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 to the property is more suitable than the current zoning designation of
Arterial Business District.
In addition, the rezoning is suitable with the surrounding land..uses:?
• East: Vail Spa is currently a multi-family residential project, with limited office uses included. It is
currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 1, which allows for development consistent with the uses
proposed at Ever Vail.
•. West: The Glen Lyon neighborhood, including the Cascade„-Resort are the nearest neighbors to. the .
west, and other than the Glen Lyon Office building, is separated by significant distance (right-of--way
and stream tract). Future development and redevelopment in this area will likely be enhanced by the
proposed development occurring at Ever Vail, including the. new gondola.
• South: The Glen Lyon Office Building, along with the ERWSD building, is the nearest neighbors to the
south. The Glen Lyon Office Building has an approved development plan in place, and this
• development will be complimentary to the development occurring in Ever Vail: Vail Resorts continues to
work' with the Glen Lyon Office Building to ensure that their needs, including access; are met.
Similarly, Vail Resorts continues to work with the ERWSD to ensure that all of their concerns are
addressed.
• North: Ever Vail is generally bounded by the relocated South Frontage Road and 1-70.right-of-way to
the north.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship
among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and
Our Analvsis:
The rezoning from Arterial Business District to Lionshead Mixed. Use - 2. of these properties will allow for a
more 'harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship., in the proposed redevelopment of the West
Lionshead area. These properties are the only properties zoned Arterial Business District in the Town of
Vail. Rezoning them to Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 allows. for redevelopment which meets, the town's
development objectives as outlined in. the Lionshead. Redevelopment Master Plan,. Zoning Regulations, Vail
.20/20, etc.
4: The extent to which the zone distrid amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable. community
and does not. constitute spot. zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a
whole; and
29
Our Analvsis:
As the adjacent area.tb the east is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 and this area is part of the lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area, it is clear 'that this does not constitute a spot zoning. This
amendment will help to allow the redevelopment of the West: lionshead area into a mixed use hub,
serving the needs of guests and residents alike.
5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts. on the natural
environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian comdors/
hillsides and other desirable natural features; and
Our Analvsis:
This rezoning request will not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment. The site is currently
developed with. commercial uses on. the site. All development proposals on the site will be completed
with the utmost concern for the protection of the natural environment in the area, as we consider it an
amenity to the guests of West lionshead. As future applications will indicate, Vail- Resorts is hoping to
improve the riparian characteristics of Red Sandstone .Creek, which borders the property to the east of the
Vail Professional Building. -Vail Resorts hopes to make the creek a great asset to the area. and to do so,
we will ensure that there are no adverse impacts to the natural environment. An Environmental Impact
Report has been submitted with this. application to provide further clarification on this criterion.
6. The extent to wh,icii the zone district'amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed
.,zone district; and
Our Analvsis:
The purpose statement of the Lionshead Mixed Use -2 Zone District is as follows:
The Lionshead mixed use 2 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple-family
dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee dubs, timeshares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices,
skier services, light industrial activities, and commercial establishments ` in a .clustered, unified
development. Lionshead mixed use 2 district, in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master
plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the
permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the zone district by
establishing appropriate site development standards. This zone district is meant to encourage and
provide incentives for redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop. The
ultimate goal of, these incentives : is to create an economically vibrant lodging, housing, and
commercial core , area.- The incentives in this zone district include, increases in allowable gross
residential floor area, -,building height, and density over the previously established zoning in the
Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area. The primary goal of the. incentives is to create
economic conditions favorable to` inducing private redevelopment consistent with . the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public, off site,
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. Public amenities which will be evaluated with
30
redevelopment proposals taking advantage of the incentives created herein may include: streetscape
improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza, redevelopment, public an, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements.
The application of Lionshead. Mixed Use - 2 to this site, as part of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master
Plan study area, is consistent with the above purpose statement. The rezoning will further the goals of the
Town of Vail, and ensure consistency with the Lionshead Mixed Use -2 Zone District.
7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demoruLulos how conditions have changed. since the
zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate; and
Our..Analvsis:
The Arterial Business Zone District was originally adopted in-1982. At the time, the entire Vail Valley was
a different. place. The population, of the entire county in 1980 was just under 15,000. Today, it's
estimated to be over' 50,000. Beaver Creek Mountain opened in' 1980. The Lionshead Parking
Structure was completed' in 1980. The Vail Professional Building was constructed in 1985, and
Cascade Crossing was constructed in 1990. Twenty-five years ago, the idea of a "billion dollar
renewal of Vail was unfathomable. Arterial Business District was not a.zone district applied to a property
which would be envisioned to become a mixed use hub; .with a parking structure and ski lift. The ABD
Zone District is primarily a zone district intended for strip mall development. This site is no longer
appropriate for this out-dated form of development.

VI. Text Amendment
•
A. lntroduction to Text Amendment
Section 12-1-19 is requested to be amended to include the Ever Vail Subdivision to be within the Core Area
Parking Requirements. Specifically, this section would be amended as follows (text to be deleted is indicated
in strike-through; text to be added is indicated in bold):
72 I Q7 9.- CORE AREAS IDENTIFIED.
Tables I and 2 (core area parking maps 1, and II, and N respectively, attached to the ordinance
codified herein, and available for inspection in the office of the town clerk) shall be used to identify
properties within Vcll's commercial core areas for parking purposes.
In addition to the text amendment, the following map will be included in the amendment (final map to be
coordinated with Town Staff):

BEST ROAD
Commercial Core Area
•
Recognizing Ever Vail as a mixed-use development and as an additional Village of Vail, the Core Area
parking requirements are more applicable for the following reasons:
• Availability of public parking in close proximity;
• People accessing residential and retail and skiing are only making a single trip and need only one
parking space or less (mixed use);
• Destination skiers don't always have a car and are shuttled to hotels/residence;
32
• Availability of share car,
0 Gondola access to the mountain.
• Access to in town shuttle and other bus routes.
•
One of the recommendations of the planning process associated with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master
Plan was to lookat the- parking requirements of the Vail Village- and Lionshead areas to study the -Town's
parking. requirements and-the. needs of these areas. During the summer-of 1999, the'Town hired the-firm of
Felsburg, Holt .& Ullevig to conduct an in-depth analysis of parking generation in Vail's commercial core
areas. The, primary purpose of the -study was to determine the influence of external factors (mixed uses,
transit/pedestrian trips; hourly variations in business activity) on parking generation. In 2000, the Town
adopted the Core'Area Parking Requirements for certain areas of Town -Vail Village and Lionshead.
At the time, the. redevelopment of West Lionshead into Ever Vail was not a consideration. Ever Vail will be a
mixed use development, emphasizing alternative means of transportation, and an extension of the Lionshead
Area.
Including Ever Vail in the Core Area Parking Requirements i's not an, across the board reduction in parking
requirements. For some uses, the parking requirements are actually more stringent. The Core Area Parking
Requirements reflect what historically has occurred..in the core areas and.more accurately reflect the needs of
the core areas. It is,important to note .that in addition to meeting the parking needs of all of the residential
and commercial uses on-the site, Vail Resorts is proposing new public parking-of approximately 400 spaces,
along with excess parking beyond the requirements of the Town's regulations. This differs from the Village
and Lionshead, in that many of the properties in these areas do not meet their parking requirement and
instead must pay-in-lieu and rely on the parking: sfructures to meet their needs.

B. Criteria for Review
The Town of Vail Zoning Regulations provide the criteria for review of a text amendment.. For the purposes of
this application, each criterion will be addressed below:
1, The extent-to which. the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning
regulations; and
Our Analvsis:
The Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, in Section 12-1-2: Purpose, describes the general purpose of
the regulations as follows:
121-2: PURPOSE.-
A. General.- These regulations ore enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety,
morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious
development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment
and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality.
Section 12-1-2 also provides the specific purposes of the regulations as.follows:
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 traf Ic 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 the appearance of the town.
9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, 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.
In addition, Section 12-10-1 of the Zoning Regulations provides the purpose of the Pdrking and Loading
Chapter:
•
•
1210-1: PURPOSE.
In order to alleviate progressively or to prevent traffic congestion and shortage of on street
parking areas, off street parking and loading facilities shall be provided incidental to new
structures, enlargements of existing structures or a conversion to a new use which requires
additional parking under this chapter.. The number of parking spaces and loading berths
35
prescribed in this chapter shall be in proportion to the need for such facilities created by the
particular type of use. Off street parking and loading areas are to be designed, maintained
• and operated in a manner that will ensure their usefulness,, -protect the public safety, and,
where appropriate, insulate surrounding /and uses from their impact. In certain districts, all or
a portion of the parking spaces prescribed by this chapter are, required to be within the main
building in order to avoid or to minimize the adverse visual impact of large concentrations or
exposed parking and of separate garage or carport structures.
While _ many of the purpose statements are not necessarily.. applicable to this particular code
amendment, it is important to note that it does further many of them. Including Ever Vail into the core
area for. parking requirements means that the parking provided' will more adequately meet the
demand.. This demand has been established by numerous studies completed by the Town. Parking
will almost entirely be provided below-grade or in structured parking, minimizing the visual and
aesthetic impacts of parking. Most importantly, this amendment promotes adequate and
appropriately located off street parking facilities.
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
Our Analvsis:
A complete analysis of the lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has, been included in a previous
section of this submittal document.
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
Our Analvsis:
While this text amendment is considered independent of the other applications submitted for Ever Vail,
it is necessary to consider the development as a whole to understand why the Core Area Parking-
Requirements are more applicable to this site. The Core Area Parking Requirements as codified today
were reviewed and adopted in .1999 and .2000, immediately following the adoption' of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master. Plan in 1998. While it was understood that the West Lionshead
area was likely to redevelop in some manner, the properties'. were owned by a number of different
entities, and it was not thought that this area would be under single ownership and could be
developed in a more comprehensive manner. More ; importantly, neither a ski lift, nor a public
parking structure were considered for this site at the time of adoption.
In the nearly 10 years since the adoption of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Core
Area Parking Requirements, many factors have changed. Most notably, the proposed development
• on the Lionshead Parking Structure has pushed forward the need for additional public parking in
lionshead prior to the demolition of the Lionshead Parking Structure. In conjunction with the Ever Vail
Parking Structure, Vail Resorts is planning many transit uses on-site, which will allow in-town buses and
36
the ECO. Bus system to provide service to this. site. Finally, Vail Resorts is, moving forward with the
LEED for Neighborhood Development certification process. Jo be certified, Ever Vail will be a multi-
modal transit community, where all forms of transportation. will be encouraged and, in some cases,
mandated. The intent is to maximize public transit to the site and the proposal includes:
• Charter bus parking spaces in the loading dock on level P2.
• Bus dr*off/pick up on both the west and east sides. of the site.
• Skier, drop-off spaces at the large roundabout on the west side, and at the entrance to the
main plaza on the east side.
4. The extent to which the. text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship
among.land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and
Our Analvsis:
The proposal to include Ever Vail in the Core Area parking requirements furthers the Town's goals of.
providing ;parking adequate to serve the uses of the development.; In addition, the amendment allows
for additional parking to be provided for the public;. rather than allocated for private use: Maximizing,
public parking is a stated goal of the Town of Vail. .
5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem
applicable to, the proposed text amendment.
Our Analvsis:
The proposal for the development of Ever Vail is still in the design phase. However; based on current
plans, it is possible to provide an analysis of the approximate number of parking spaces. As the final
configurations for commercial uses will not be designed until a later'phase of development, the current
parking calculations are based on estimates of commercial space allotment.

VII. Conditional Use Permits
A..lntrnduciion of the Conditional Use Permits
We are submitting a request for conditional use permits. to allow for the. following uses:
• Private parking structure
• Maintenance Facility
• Type III employee housing on the first level of a building
• Gondola
-These uses are all conditional uses listed in the Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 zone district. A conditional use is
further regulations by Chapter 16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code.. The purpose of this chapter is
as follows:
72-76-1: PURPOSE; LIMITATIONS:
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title,, specified uses are
permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of.their
unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be
located properly with respect to the purposes of this . title and with respect to their effects on
surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in 'this chapter, is intended to assure
compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and
the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to
such. conditions and limitations as the town may, prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of
the conditional. uses will be .in accordance with development objectives. of the town and will not be
detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these
objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied.
B. Review Criteria for a Conditional Use Permit
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town.
Our Analvsis:
To be the Premier Mountain Resort Community..
We-share this vision with the Town of Vail. It is. our intent to further this vision through the addition of
world-class facilities in Ever Vail.
This vision is further supported by stated development objectives of the Town of Vail.,- The :porpose
statement of the Lionshead Mixed Use-2 Zone District states:
The Lionshead mixed use 2 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple-family
dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, timeshares, lodge dwelling. units, restaurants,
offices, skier services, light industrial activities, and commercial establishments in a clustered,
38
united development. Lionshead mixed use 2 district, . in a_ ccordance . with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other
amenities appropriate A b the permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain. the
desirable qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site development standards.
This zone district is meant to encourage and. provide incentives for redevelopment in
accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop.
The ultimate goal. of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant .lodging, housing,
and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include increases in allowable
gross residential floor . area,. building height, :.and density over the previously established
zoning in the Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area. The primary goal of the
incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment
consistent- with the `lionshead redevelopment master plan. Additionally, the incentives are
created to help finance public, off site, improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects.
Public amenities which will be evaluated with redevelopment proposals taking advantage of
the incentives created herein may include: streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle
access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar
improvements.
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan provides the framework for the Town of Vail to review the
conditional use permit applications. This LRMP is discussed in a'previous section of this document.
Each of the conditional uses proposed are specifically identified in the LRMP as priorities for this site.
These uses are 'consistent. with the development objectives of the Town of Vail.
2. Effect of the use on light-and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools,
parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs.
Our Analvsis:
We believe that the addition of both the public and the private parking structure will have positive
effects on the above criteria. The addition of a new portal onto the ski mountain will serve to disperse
skiers, allowing additional choices for their point of entry onto the mountain. The new gondola, and
the parking structure _are integral in the ability to serve the population by providing both, a new lift,
and the parking necessary to serve the new lift. In addition, this will help to alleviate congestion in lift
lines in the Village and Lionshead, by providing skiers with an additional choice to park to access the
mountain. The maintenance facility is completely subterranean and is a much needed improvement
to an-,outdated. facility. The employee housing. on the first floor has no impact on 'the above-
referenced criteria, but.'should be noted that it is in locations where other commercial uses are not
feasible.
3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and. pedestrian. safety and
convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets
and parking areas.
39
Our Analysis:
We are working with.CDOT in the re-alignment of the Frontage Road and CDOT is very supportive of
the proposed "re-alignment. In addition, we are providing several transit stops to serve the parking
and the overall West Lionshead area. The ski lift will be in close proximity to the proposed parking
structure, allowing for skiers to safely walk from the parking structure to the proposed ski lift.
4. Effect upon.the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale
and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses.
Our Analysis:
The proposed parking structure is an integral part of the proposed mixed-use hub that Ever Vail is
envisioned to become. The parking structure will be faced with commercial on the east side, to
minimize the impacts to the adjacent mixed-use area. The site lacks many adjacent uses - the Glen
Lyon office building is the nearest adjacent property. Access will be provided through the site.to the
Glen Lyon office building, and it is its surface parking that is in closest proximity to the proposed
parking structure. The maintenance facility will be completely subterranean and have no impact to
surround uses, which is a huge improvement over the existing facility. The employee housing that is
on the first level is sited in locations that are not suitable for commercial uses.

VIII. Major Exterior Alteration
A. lntroduction to the Major Exterior Aheration
In the Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 Zone District, a Major Exterior Alteration is required for the following:
127/7.- EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS:
A. Review Required.- The construction of a new building or the alteration of an existing
building shall be reviewed by the design review board in accordance with chapter
11 of this title. However, any project which adds additional dwelling units,
accommodation units, fractional fee club units, timeshare units, any project which
adds more than one thousand (7, 000) square feet of commercial floor area or
common space, or any project which has substantial off site impacts (as determined
by the administrator) shall be reviewed by the planning and environmental
commission as a major exterior alteration in accordance with this chapter and section
12-3-6 of this title. Any project which requires a conditional use permit shall also
obtain approval of the planning and environmental commission in accordance with
chapter 76 of this title. Complete applications for major exterior alterations shall be
submitted in accordance with administrative schedules developed by the department
of community development for planning and environmental commission and design
0 review board review.
B. Criteria for Review
The Lionshead Mixed Use-2 Zone District does not supply criteria for review as in the case of a
Special Development District. However, it does offer a description of the "compliance burden".
12718: COMMUANCE BURDEN.-
It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence before
the planning and environmental commission and the design review board that the proposed
exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the purposes of the Lionshead
mixed use 2 district, that the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan and that the proposal does not otherwise have a significant
negative effect on the character of the neighborhood, and that the proposal substantially
complies with other applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan.
1. Purpose of the LMU-2 Zone District
Our Analvsis:
The Lionshead Mixed Use 2 zone district was created in 1999, as the implementation phase
of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. It intended to create incentives for properties to
redevelop. The purpose of the LMU-2 zone district is as follows:
41
The Lionshead mixed use 2 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple-
family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, timeshares, lodge - dwelling 'units,
restaurants, oFIces, -skier services, light industrial - activities, and commercial
establishments in a clustered, unified.-development. Lionshead mixed use 2 district, in
accordance with the lionsheod redevelopment master p/an, is intended to ensure
adequate light, air, open,. space and other amenities appropriate to the permitted
types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the zone district
by establishing appropriate site development standards. This zone district is meant to
encourage and provide incentives for redevelopment in accordance with the
Lionshead redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to
redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create on economically vibrant
lodging, housing,. and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district
include increases in . allowable gross residential floor area, building height, and
density over the. previously established zoning in the Lionshead redevelopment master
plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions
favorable . to inducing private - redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead
redevelopment master plan. .Ado( onolly, the incentives are created to help finance
public, off site, improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. Public amenities
which will be evaluated with redevelopment proposals taking advantage of the
incentives created herein may include: streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle
access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar
improvements.
All the uses proposed at Ever Vail are listed in the Lionshead Mixed Use - 2 Zone District as
permitted or conditional uses. As stated in the purposed statement and as a stated goal of
Ever Vail, the goal, is "to create an economically vibrant lodging, housing, and commercial
core area. The redevelopment of West 'Lionshead into Ever Vail is consistent with the
purpose of the Lionshead Mixed Use'- 2 Zone District.
2. Lionshead Redevelopment Mcitter. Plan Compliance
Our Analvsis:
A complete analysis of Ever Vail's compliance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
has been provided in a separate section of this submittal document.
3. Character of the Neighborhood
Our Analvsis:
The existing uses in the West Lionshead area could be considered light industrial - the VR
maintenance facility, old 'gas station, and the' ERWSD ..treatment facility.. While the
maintenance facility will remain of Ever Vail; the facility will be relocated to an underground
location, greatly improving the character of the neighborhood.
42
Direct neighbors to Ever Vail include the following:
• • East: Vail Spa is currently a multi-family residential project, with limited office uses
included. It is currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - 1, which allows for development
consistent with the uses proposed at Ever Vail.
• West: The Glen Lyon neighborhood, including the Cascade Resort are the nearest
neighbors to the west, and other than the Glen Lyon Office building, is separated by
significant distance (right-of-way and stream tract). Future development and
redevelopment in this area will likely be enhanced by the proposed development
occurring at Ever Vail, including the new gondola.
• South: The Glen Lyon Office Building and the ERWSD building are the nearest neighbors
to the south. The Glen Lyon Office Building has an approved development plan in place,
and this development will be complimentary to the development occurring in Ever Vail.
Vail Resorts continues to work with the Glen Lyon Office Building to ensure that their
needs, including access, are met. Similarly, Vail Resorts continues to work with the
ERWSD to ensure that all of their concerns are addressed.
• North: Ever Vail will generally be bound by the relocated South Frontage Road and 1-70
right-of-way to the north.
The proposed development at Ever Vail will vastly improve the character of the neighborhood.
The existing strip mall development will be eliminated, and a new sustainable, economically
vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing development will replace it.
Existing Conditions:
4. Other Applicable Elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan
Our Analvsis:
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has been covered in depth in previous sections of
t'ris submittal and is incorporated here by reference. The Vail Land Use Plan, which was
originally adopted in 1986, also includes goals that are applicable to this project.
43
7. 7 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. •
7.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
7.72 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas
(inA// areas).
27 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating
day skiers.
2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work
together to improve facilities for day skiers.
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts,
assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of flail, with appropriate
restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range
of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional
employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the
community.
Now over 30 years old, the Town of Vail Land Use Plan is outdated in general, but many of the
concepts of the plan are applicable to development today.

8:. WRITTEN NARRATIVE
A written narrative explaining how the employee housing plan, meets the purposes of the Chapter and
complies with the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
A. Chapter 12-24-1 The purpose.of Chapter 12-24-1 is as follows:
The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure that new residential development and redevelopment
in the Town of (/ail provide for a reasonable amount of employee housing to mitigate the
impact on employee housing caused by such residential development and redevelopment.
Chapter 12-23-1: The purpose of Chapter 12-23-1 is as follows:
The purpose. of this chapter is to ensure that new commercial development and redevelopment
in the town provide for a reasonable amount of employee housing to mitigate the impact on
employee housing caused by such commercial development and redevelopment.
As indicated, the applicant is proposing to meet approximately ..65% of the employee 'housing
requirement on-site, exceeding the Town's minimum requirement, of 50%. It is the intent of Vail
Resorts that Ever Vail is a vibrant community within the_Town, with a mix of residents, With the
mix of unit types, and both for-sale and rental housing, Ever Vail will be providing for employee
'housing at a .variety of income levels, mitigating the impact of both residential and commercial
development.
B_ :. Lionshead Redevelopmenf Master Plan. Ever Vail was recently included in to the. lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area. The following is taken from Chapter 4 of the lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan:
4.9 Housing
Recent community surveys and grass=roots planning, efforts such. as Vail Tomorrow*
have identified the lack of locals' housing as the most critical issue facing the. Vail
community. Early in the lionshead master planning process, . west. Lionshead was.
identified as an opportunity, area. to imp/ement some. of the communitys housing
goals , particularly relating to employee. housing.:- These opportunities and associated
issues are outlined below.
4.9.1 1 'No Net Loss of Employee Housing
Ground rule number five of the master plan states that there shall be no net
loss of employee housing in Lionshead as redevelopment occurs.
0 4.92 Visual Issues
47
The financial realities of affordable housing often require cost reducing
measures, generally involving the quality of . detailing, planing,- and
architectural design. Given the strong desire to make these housing projects
feasible, it is recommended that some latitude be granted to affordable
housing developers. However,' it is also important that financial realities not
be used as an excuse to produce unsightly, poorly designed substandard
products. Employee housing does not need to match the architectural
sophistication of a five star resort development, but it does need to be good
quality construction and design. Rivers Edge in Avon is a good example of
on attractive yet affordable employee housing project.
4.9.3 Policy Based Housing Opportunities
The first means of implementing housing goals in Lionshead is through policy
based requirements such as the employee generation ordinance currently
being pursued by the Vail Town Council. As required by a future ordinance,
all development and redevelopment projects, as a prerequisite to project
approval, should provide housing for employees generated and to the extent
possible this housing should be located in the Lionshead area.
At the time of the adoption, of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan', the practice of the Town of
Vail was to require mitigation of the employees generated by a project. Neither.the Town nor the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan ever anticipated the current requirements. ''As result, the
employee housing provided by the Ever Vail development clearly exceeds the, expectations of the
Lionshead'Redevelopment Master Plan and is therefore in compliance.
The,Town Vail Land Use Plan offers the following goals with regard to employee housing:
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts,
assisted by limited incentives, 'pr'ovided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate
restrictions.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional
employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the
community.
Ever Vail complies with these statements from the Town of Vail eLand Use Plan. Specifically,
integrating the employee housing at Ever Vail into the project allows for employee housing to be
slope-side and near their employment.

LEED-ND Update
October 23, 2008
Ever Vail
Ever Vail achieved a LEED Platinum Rating in September 2008 when its completed
Final Stage One LEED-ND Review was returned by USGBC. According to USGBC,
Ever Vail was the_
• 12'' LEED-ND project certified
• 2nd platinum LEED-ND project
• 1s` LEED-ND project in Colorado/Rocky Mountain Region
• LEED-ND project furthest east of the Pacific
Ever Vail can now bere.`,-..r.d to as a LEED certified plan or LEED Platinum plan,
and USGBC has issued Vail Resorts Development Company a letter stating that if the
project is built as proposed, it will be able to achieve Lrt;u for Neighborhood
Development Stage 2 Certification.
Overview of Ever Vail's Final Review Of the 86 points submitted by the project
team, Ever Vail needed 80 to achieve a Platinum rating. The Final Stage One L_ EED-
ND Review documented 82 achieved points.. The four denied points were:
• NPDc10 Transportation Demand Management, Options 3 - USGBC ruled
that Option 3, is only available for developer-sponsored transit (as opposed
to public transit).
• GCTc13 On-Site Renewable Energy - The LEED Reviewer ruled that that the
project did not include a strong enough commitment to incorporate
renewable energy. Nonetheless, should renewable energy.be incorporated in
Ever Vail in accordance with credit requirements, the project should still be
able to achieve this point during the Stage Two application.
• IDPcl.l: NPDc10 Option 3 Exemplary Performance _ This credit was denied
because NPDc10 was denied. The project can apply for a different ID credit
during Ever Vail's Stage Two application.
• IDPc1.4: M&V Plan for Residential/ Commercial Energy Use - The
proposed development-wide M&V Plan was not accepted. The project can
apply for a different ID credit during Ever Vail's Stage Two application.
Ultimately, of the 4 denied points, Ever Vail is still eligible for 3 points during its
Stage Two application. ' This is an optimal situation because it allows the project to
lose another 3 points during the design process (Stage Two) and yet still maintain its
Paladin & Company, tic. Platinum status throughout the remainder of design and construction.
7711 tl!rion Street, Suite 400 Next Steps Now that Ever Vail has achieved a Platinum Rating in Stage One of the
LEED-ND pilot program,' it will need to actively work to "maintain its Platinum status
Seattle, WA 93707
as the design of the project progresses in anticipation of its Stage Two LEED-ND .
2ph?;,,_-?ttt? Application, to be submitted afterentitlements are finalized and design of the project
is complete.
