J Y Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 4, 2008 6:00 P.M. Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Dick Cleveland. Members present: Dick Cleveland, Mayor Mark Gordon Farrow Hitt Kevin Foley Kim Newbury Margaret Rogers Andy Daly Staff Members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer The first item on the agenda was Citizen Input. Vail Mountaineer Publisher Jim Pavelich urged Council to readdress the availability of newspaper boxes in Vail Village and LionsHead. 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) District.

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).

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).

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.

Camp Kathleen Halloran Date: November 25, 2008 Subject. Mil Levy Ordinance You will be asked to approve the attached mil levy ordinance upon.second. reading on Tuesday evening: This ordinance authorizes the collection of. property taxes in 2009 based upon 2008 assessed valuations of property within the town's boundaries. Eagle County is responsible for assessing values and for collecting property taxes on our behalf. The town is required by Colorado state law to certify the mil levy by December 15 of each year. The attached ordinance has been updated from the first reading to reflect the following: a . Revised assessed valuations from the county ' • Abatement of.289 mils added to the town's base mil levy of 4.69 mils - - Abatement results when a taxpayer protests an assessed valuation after the normal protest period and is refunded a portion of the tax already due or paid.

Dick Cleveland; Mayor A t t hST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk Ordinance 28, Series of 2008 -61- TOWN OF VAIL 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. 081130 Revenue Highlights - 1 - rat to M"le eye p tio • n lca App. Fees oun Vail Town C 2008 December Town of val.s evelopment Department Comr,nunity ?

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. • EXISTING CONDITIONS • 6 .'_`. -, .741 • 01I 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. .Reviewing Board* PEC final PEC recommendation TC final PEC, recommendation TC final PEC final PEC final *as with any application, the Town Council can call-up the decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission Other applications will be submitted separately and as further refinement of the plan necessitates. At this time, other applications will include: • Flood plain modification • DRB for the road alignment • DRB for individual buildings. 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. 8 C.

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. .... .+In Miran 01, It, I-, A.,. ,.n?..u F,one N„w:i f M?.,o V+, Aeor? - ter'^.,i.,.

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. 16 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 ?- NE OFSTRIAN' I?URIAI ?

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. • • 26 • • 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). C.D.O.T.

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. • • 31 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): Core Area Parking Map III Ever Vail • /o ? Z/11 3 r /// 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.

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. • 37 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. • • 40 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. ?J i 44 IX. Housing Plan 1.

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. LI 48 0 X.

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?
