Vail Village Master Plan (in part) Goa/s for Vail Village are summarized in six majorgoal statements. While there is a certain amount of overlap between these six goa/s, each focuses on a particular aspect of the Village and the community as a whole. The goa/ statements are designed to establish a framework, or direction, for the future growth of the Village. A series of objectives outline specific steps that can be taken toward achieving each stated goa/. Policy statements have been developed to guide the Town's decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives, whether it be through the review of private sector development proposals orin implementing capital improvement projects. Finally, action steps are suggested as immediate follow-up actions necessary to implement the goa/s of this Plan. The Vail Village MasterPlan's objectives and policy statements address key issues relative to growth and development. These statements establish much of the context within which future development proposals are evaluated. In implementing the Plan, the objectives and policies are used in conjunction with a number of graphic planning elements that together comprise this Plan. While the objectives and policies establish a genera/ framework, the graphic plans provide more specific direction regarding public improvements ordevelopment potential on a particular piece of property. 7i2 u2ooCD 4-1-5 GOAL #2 TO FOSTER A STRONG TOURIST INDUSTRY AND PROMOTE YEAR- AROUND ECONOMIC HEALTH AND VIABILITY FOR THE VILLAGE AND FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. Obiective 2.1: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 11 sub-areas throughout the Village and allow for development that is compatible with these established land use patterns. Policy 2.1.1: The zoning code and development review criteria shall be consistent with the overall goa/s and objectives of the Vail Village Master Plan. Obiective 2.2: Recognize the importance of Vail Village as a mixed use center of activities for our guests, visitors and residents. Policy 2.2.1: The design criteria in the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan shall be the primary guiding document to preserve the existing architectural sca/e and character of the core area of Vail Village. Obiective 2.4: Encourage the development of a variety of new commercial activity where compatible with existing land uses. Policy 2.4.1: Commercial infill development consistent with established horizontal zoning regulations shall be encouraged to provide activity generators, accessible greenspaces, public plazas, and streetscape improvements to the pedestrian network throughout the Village. Policy 2.4.2: Activity that provides night life and evening entertainment for both the guest and the community shall be encouraged. Obiective 2.5: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance ofexisting lodging and commercial facilities to better serve the needs of our guests. Policy 2.5.1: Recreation amenities, common areas, meeting facilities and other amenities shall be preserved and enhanced as a part of any redevelopment oflodging properties. Policy 2.5.2: The town will use the maximum flexibility possible in the interpretation of building and fire codes in orderto facilitate budding renovations withoutcompromising life, health and safety considerations. Vail Land Use Plan CHAPTER II - LAND USE PLAN GOALS / POLICIES The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These 7i2 u2oo60 4-i-6 goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows: 2. Skier /Tourist Concerns 2.1. The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 3. Commercial 3.1. The hotel bed base should be preserved and use more efficiently. 3.2. The Village and Lionshead areas the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of destination skiers. IV. REQUIRED ACTION The Town Council shall approve or deny the request that the proposed use is similarto other uses listed as a permitted use within the Commercial Core I district pursuant to Section 12-3- 4, Determination of Similar Use, Vail Town Code. Pursuant to Section 12-3-4, Determination of Similar Use, Vail Town Code, the Town Council is required to state the basis for its determination of similarity or no similarity. If the proposed use is found to be similar the use thereafter shall be deemed a permitted use subject to the same regulations as specifically permitted uses in the same zone district. Town Council shall make the following finding of fact in accordance with the Vail Town Code: 1. That the operation and characteristics of the proposed use have been determined as similar to permitted uses, or would be similar to uses specifically permitted only in other zone districts. V. CRITERIA In determining whether or not a proposed use is similar to a listed permitted or conditional use, staff is required by Section 12-3-4, Determination of Similar Use, Vail Town Code, to address the following criterion: 1. How are the operation and characteristics of the proposed use similar or not similar to a specific permitted use within the Commercial Core I district? The applicant has proposed to operate an exclusive ski concierge service on the second floor of the "Hong Kong Cafe" building. The applicant has identified in their written narrative detailing the operation many similarities between the listed permitted uses of "Lodges" and "Personal Services". In several discussions, both the applicant and staff have agreed that the proposed use contains many elements which are similar to accessory uses typically provide by a lodge within Vail and elements of a personal service. However, staff as the administrator felt that the process found in Section 12-3-4, Determination of Similar Use, Vail Town Code, was 7i2 u2oo7 4-1-7 the appropriate way to receive a determination on whether those similarities were prevalent to the point of making a determination of similarity. Since the establishment of the Town of Vail and the Ski Resort a goal has been set and pursued, to strive to always be the best provider of services to our varying guests. This goal is identified throughout the adopted Comprehensive Master Plan. As can be expected, to achieve this goal over time changes to the approach have had to been made. For example, the most recent renaissance of the past seven years has been in response to the need to "update" and "improve" the overall Vail product due to changing expectations of our guests. One example of this is the lodge expectations have gone from 250 square foot, 7.5 feet ceiling heights, no air conditioning to an excess of 400 square feet, 9.5 feet ceiling heights, and air conditioning. As a part of the need to approach this adopted goal, various adopted master plans identify methods by which to consistently improve the guest product and experience. An example of this is language found in the Vail Land Use Plan identifying the need to create "Transition Areas" between the two villages and between the road network and the base of the mountain. Within the Plan it identifies that there needs to be a land use which serves this function. It was determined through the Vail Village Master Plan that the larger/more dense structures should be located along the periphery of the Village Core. The zone district which was selected to serve as both the "transition" and the location of higher density structures was the Public Accommodation District. As a result of the location of the Public Accommodation district the Town has seen the development of larger/higher density projects adjacent to the South Frontage Road. Furthermore, in attempting to achieve the goal of providing the highest level of service to our guests these hotels are intending to offer four to five star service. Operators of four to five star lodges have developed operation plans and amenities to compliment these service goals. For example many of the new lodge products include spas, conference/meeting facilities, access to materials and technologies to conduct business, high end dining, room service, concierge services, shuttle services, etc. The expectation of guests throughout the ski industry is that lodges provide these types of services. As a result of our adopted Master Plans and the location of the Public Accommodation district a difficulty has arisen with regard to the spatial distance between the location of the Town's new lodges and the base of the ski mountain. The applicant has proposed and the Staff agrees that in the current market there is an expectation of the guest when they visit Vail that they will receive a"World Class" experience from start to finish. Staff further agrees that the provision of a ski concierge service to guests of Vail is an important element of that experience. The applicant identified in their written report that it is 840 steps from the Four Seasons Resort to the Vista Bahn. The applicant has the goal of turning this walking into a more pleasurable experience by not having to carry skis and boots to the mountain. In discussing the applicants desires of providing a certain level of service and the operation of that service Staff felt that the land use contained many of the elements of two listed permitted use on the second floor of the Commercial Core I district. Those land uses being an accessory use to a lodge and a personal service. The definitions of both are included under the Applicable Documents Section of this memorandum. As discussed in previous paragraphs Staff believes that the 7i2 u2oo8 4-1-8 proposed service is an accessory use to a lodge of the quality we are encouraging in Vail. Furthermore, the proposed service fits the definition of a personal service for a specific customer. Staff has identified several positive potential outcomes from the incorporation of the proposed exclusive ski concierge use. The use as proposed by the applicant should reduce the traffic congestion necessary to shuttle guest from a lodge to the base of the mountain as guest will likely use the Town's transportation system to reach the mountain or walk. Staff further believes that this proposed use will generate significantly more activity in any second floor space than a dwelling unit which is a permitted use on the second floor which meets several Town goals of vitality. In addition, guests of lodges like Four Seasons Resort will traverse through the retail core and likely spend more time in the Village in street clothing verse carrying skies and walking in ski boots back to their lodge. Having a remote location associated with lodges in the Town can be beneficial from an economic stand point as more guests will walk by various retail offerings to a greater extent to and from the lodges and the remote exclusive ski concierge location. Several concerns Staff has identified are what level of activity and function will a remote lodge accessory use serve in the off season. Will the land use be vacant? Can it be converted to a function which generates activity in the shoulder and summer seasons? Staff also has contemplated the impacts of making a determination that an accessory use to a lodge could be located off the development site. What negative impacts could result from a determination of this nature? Staff's conclusion is that we support a determination of similar use as a determination that an exclusive ski concierge is specific to a particular use and the proposal of any other lodge accessory use would have to proceed forward through this same process in that event. Any discussion regarding this determination should include a conversation about the function of the space for use throughout the year. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Town Council makes the determination that the proposed use is similar to an allowable permitted use within the Commercial Core I district, pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Determination of Similar Use, Vail Town Code, to allow for an exclusive ski concierge to be considered a similar use to a permitted Personal Service, located at 227 Wall Street/Part of Lots B& C, Block 5C, Vail Village First Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff recommends that the Town Council approves the applicant's request subject to the following finding: 1. The operation and the characteristics of the proposed use are sufficiently similar to a Personal Service use to justify a finding that the use should be deemed a permitted use and would be similar to uses specifically permitted in the zone district.

Th+erefnre, we are r€:questi.ng that the Tc~wn of Vail Cou.ncil supgart our applicatian and apprave #he creatiQn of this n+ecessary gue~t service. T'he Ski Concierge service that we are proposing to provide to the guests of the Four Seaso-ns Hotel canstitates a personal service, ►xhich is performed by many other 5 star hotels and resorts within ski areas iia Col+~rado and Narth America. We suggest that Ski Concierge is perhaps a nevv use, rtc~t anti~ipated in Vail's current cade. This new use is necessary because of the remote location of the Four Seasons Hotel, relative to the ski base. It is essentiai ta the success of the Four Seasons Hatel t.hat the Ski Ca.ncierge finction be conducted in a locatian adjacent to the ski base. The 1ocaation of the Fv~ Seasons HQteI is consistent with tfie goals of the Tawn, as it is locatecl on the geriphery of the Commercial Cvre. The lvcatiQH of the prvposed Ski Concierge within close proximaty ta the ski base is compatible vith the goals and uses of the adjacent Ski Base RecreatiQn Distirict ll. The prcrposed Ski Concierge facility eould also be +considered an {`Accessgary Use".
