I. SUMMARY
Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, establishes a new zone district, the Vail Village
Townhouse District. Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, amends the Vail Village Master
Plan related to the new zone district and includes new design guidelines specifically
tailored for the townhouse properties in the proposed zone district. The proposed
Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, (Attachment A) and Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012,
(Attachment B) have been attached for review. The proposed new zone district and
associated master plan amendments are anticipated to be applied to the existing
townhouse properties located within Vail Village.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
WHY CREATE A VAIL VILLAGE TOWNHOUSE ZONE DISTRICT?
• The existing townhouse properties in Vail Village are currently zoned High
Density Multiple Family District (HDMF). The HDMF zone district was not
designed to address townhouse properties. The existing townhouses are legally
non-conforming in regard to current zoning standards (setbacks, density,
landscape area, parking, etc.)
6 - 1 - 1
8/7/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
• Two types of plats: some units are part of a larger development site (Vail
Townhouse Condominiums Lots 1-6, Vail Trails, Vail Trails East) while others
units were platted as individual development sites (Vail Rowhouses Lots 7-13,
Texas Townhomes).
• Redevelopment is only possible with variances. Previous variances have
created inconsistency, inequity, and extended the length and complexity of the
development review process.
• Demo/Rebuild construction results in a loss of development rights.
• Creating a new zone district can streamline the development review process.
WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES OF THE NEW ZONE DISTRICT?
• Streamlining the development review process by establishing a new zone district
to specifically address townhouse properties which reduces legal non-
conformities and the need for future variances.
• Create incentives for redevelopment of existing townhouse properties.
• Preserve the existing residential character of the townhouse properties and the
neighborhood.

III. BACKGROUND
On November 14, 2011, the Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a
recommendation of approval, with modifications, to the Vail Town Council for the
proposed Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, and , Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, by a
vote of 4-1-1 (Rediker opposed and Pratt recused).
On February 21, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a work session to discuss the
proposed ordinance and resolution establishing the Vail Village Townhouse District and
the associated Vail Village Master Plan amendments. At that hearing the Council asked
questions concerning the heights of nearby buildings, how the existing GRFA
development potential was calculated, and how changes to the GRFA ratios could affect
the massing of the subject townhouse buildings.
On April 3, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a public hearing to discuss the proposed
ordinance and resolution. The Vail Town Council tabled these items to its May 1, 2012,
hearing to provide the former applicants, Mauriello Planning Group and KH Webb
Architects, an opportunity to construct additional visual models illustrating the various
considered GRFA ratios (1.25, 1.35, 1.50, etc.)
On May 1, 2012, the Vail Town Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 2,
Series of 2012, by a vote of 6-0-1 (Foley opposed), with the modification that Section
12-6J-9 allows not more than one hundred twenty five square feet of GRFA for each
one hundred square feet of total site area (i.e. 1.25 GRFA ratio).
On May 15, 2012, the Vail Town Council held another public hearing on the proposed
new zone district. The Council tabled the application for further deliberation.
On July 17, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a work session to discuss the proposed
new zone district. A majority of the Vail Town Council re-affirmed:
• the problems associated with existing townhouse properties being zoned High
Density Multiple-Family District
• a new zone district should be established to address the problems associated
with the current zoning of townhouse properties
• one policy objective of the new district is to streamline the development review
process
• one policy objective of the new district is to create incentives for redevelopment
of existing townhouse properties
• another policy objective of the new district is to preserve the existing residential
character of the townhouse properties and the neighborhood
The Council’s work session included a general discussion about the Town’s adopted
gross residential floor area (GRFA) regulations and a discussion about the appropriate
GRFA limits in the proposed new zone district including the options of a GRFA ratio of
1.25, a ratio of 1.50, and eliminating GRFA in this new district.

Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO THAT:
SECTION 1. Chapter VII, Vail Village Sub-Areas, East Gore Creek Sub-Area
(#6), Vail Village Master Plan, is hereby amended in part as follows (text to be
deleted is in strikethrough, text that is to be added is bold, and sections of text
that are not amended have been omitted):
EAST GORE CREEK SUB AREA (#6)
A number of the earliest projects developed in Vail are located in the East
Gore Creek Sub-Area. Development in this area is exclusively multi-family
condominium and townhouse projects with a very limited amount of
support commercial. Surface parking is found at each site, which creates a
very dominant visual impression of the sub-area.
While the level of development in East Gore Creek is generally greater
than that allowed under existing zoning, this area has the potential to
absorb density without compromising the character of the Village. These
This developments could be accommodated by partial infills of existing
parking areas balanced by greenspace additions or through increasing the
height of existing buildings (generally one story over existing heights). In
order to maintain the architectural continuity of projects, additional density
should be considered only in conjunction with the comprehensive
redevelopment of projects or individual units. There are several
townhouse properties within this sub-area which were platted and/or
constructed under Eagle County jurisdiction. These townhouse
properties are nonconforming with the many of development
standards (including, but not limited to density, gross residential
floor area, setbacks, site coverage, landscape area) of the High
Density Multiple Family (HDMF) District. It is recommended that
greater flexibility with the development standards may be necessary
to allow these townhouse projects to redevelop. This flexibility may
be achieved through the rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse
(VVT) District. However, the granting of variances from the HDMF
District or rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District
should consider potential impacts to the character of the
neighborhood.
Clearly, one of the main objectives to consider in the redevelopment of
any property should be to improve existing parking facilities. This includes
satisfying parking demands for existing and additional development as
well as design considerations relative to redevelopment proposals. The
opportunity to introduce below grade structured parking will greatly
improve pedestrianization and landscape features in this area. This should
be considered a goal of any redevelopment proposal in this sub-area.
6 - 3 - 2
8/7/2012

Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
Development or redevelopment of this sub-area may will attract additional
traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon
portions of Sub-Areas 7 and 10.
There are several existing townhouse properties in the East Gore
Creek Sub-Area, including the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail
Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail Trails East, and Texas
Townhomes. These design considerations provide
recommendations for the redevelopment of these properties. The
purpose of these design considerations is to preserve the unique
character of the existing townhouse properties in Vail Village.
Redevelopment should be consistent with the existing pedestrian-
oriented, urban character of Vail Village. All demo/rebuild and new
construction projects in the Vail Village Townhouse District shall
comply with these guidelines. It is understood that renovations to
existing buildings may be unable to fully comply with some of these
design considerations. Redevelopment to existing buildings will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with determination of compliance
based upon whether the renovation to an existing building meets the
general intent of these design considerations.
A. Zoning: The existing townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek
Sub-Area including the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row
Houses, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail Trails East, and Texas Townhomes
should be rezoned from the High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF)
District to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District.
B. Development Pattern: Townhouse properties in the East Gore
Creek Sub-Area should exhibit the appearance and characteristics of
a residential row style development. Buildings should face the street
and appear to be a series of proportionally sized, individual dwelling
units occupying the space from the ground to the roof that are
attached inline by shared side walls. Buildings should exhibit these
characteristics regardless of ownership patterns or the horizontal
and vertical subdivision of properties, and should create a perceived
dwelling unit occupying the space within a building from the ground
to the roof.
C. Architectural Theme: The existing architectural and aesthetic
character of the townhouse properties in Vail Village shall be
preserved.
1. Units: The architectural theme of each dwelling unit or
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space within a building
6 - 3 - 3
8/7/2012
4
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
from the ground to the roof) shall be expressed on all sides of
that unit to create an architecturally integrated unit.
2. Buildings: Townhouse buildings shall express an
architectural theme of either uniformity or individuality. To
portray architectural and aesthetic integrity, a combination of
both themes within a single building is discouraged.
a. Uniformity: Townhouse buildings may express a
singular, unified architectural theme in which every
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space from
ground to the roof) in a building is composed of
substantially the same exterior design, materials,
textures, and colors.
b. Individuality: Townhouse buildings may express an
individualistic architectural theme in which each
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space from
ground to the roof) in a building varies in exterior
design, materials, textures, and colors; so that abutting
units do not have the same architectural treatment. This
expression of individuality among units must be
balanced with the character of the adjacent units and
the building as a whole.
D. Building Form and Massing: Buildings shall step back from the
front property line to create the appearance of a two-story façade
along the street. For the purposes of these design considerations, a
story is considered the space between the surface of any floor and
the next floor or ceiling above, not exceeding 11 feet in height.
The front façade of the first floor or street level and the second floor
shall be located within 20 to 28 feet of the front property line. The
front façade of the third floor and any floors above shall step back 6
to 10 feet from the façade of the second floor below.
E. Street Edge: Front façade shall be generally parallel to the street
and form a strong, but irregular edge to the street. Front façades
shall generally align with adjacent units and buildings to create a
sense of street enclosure and continuity, but shall have enough
offset between units and buildings to create visual interest.
F. Façade: To reduce the appearance of building height and mass,
and to create a residential scale and character, all façades shall
incorporate vertical and horizontal articulation to reduce the
appearance of building height and mass and to foster the
6 - 3 - 4
8/7/2012
5
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
appearance of a residential neighborhood. Façades should
incorporate doors, decks, porches, balconies, fenestration, recesses,
bay windows, ornamentation, and other traditional residential
architectural elements. No façade shall appear to be a large
unbroken plane. To preserve the existing pedestrian scale and
residential character of the neighborhood, dwelling unit entries are
encouraged on the front of the building; however, garage entries are
strongly discouraged on the front façade.
G. Cantilevers: On the front façade, floor area cantilevered more than
three feet beyond the level below is strongly discouraged.
Cantilevered floor areas shall not be stacked or cantilevered atop
one another.
H. Roof Pitch: The primary roof form should be sloping with pitches
from 3:12 to 4:12. Secondary roofs should be sloping with pitches
from 6:12 to 9:12. Flat roofs may have limited use as secondary
roofs for decks and mechanical equipment areas. Mansard roofs
create the perception of additional bulk and mass and are
inconsistent with the architectural character of the existing
townhouse properties and the existing neighborhood. Therefore,
mansard roofs are discouraged.
I. Roof Ridge: The primary roof ridges shall be parallel with the front
façade of the building and should be oriented to not shed snow or
rain onto adjacent properties. To create visual interest and to reduce
the perception of building bulk and mass, roofs shall not create the
appearance of continuous ridges between units or buildings. Roof

density to be considered only in conjunction with a comprehensive
redevelopment of each project. To encourage redevelopment and to
maintain the existing character of the neighborhood, the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District was established to grant additional gross
residential floor area over what was allowed under High Density
Multiple Family (HDMF) District zoning. A key factor in the
redevelopment of these properties will be to relocate required parking in
underground structures or a single unified structure serving all
adjacent properties. This will allow for increased landscaping and overall
improvements to pedestrian ways to create a park-like setting on the
surface in this area. Redevelopment shall maintain the existing
character of the neighborhood, with the appearance of two to three
story buildings along the street elevation. In all cases, the mature
pines along Gore Creek shall be maintained. Stream impact must be
considered. Special emphasis on 1.2, 2.3, 2.6, 3.1, 5.1, 6.2.

limited to prevent impacts on view to the Gore Range from Village core
and Vail Valley Drive. Present and future parking demand to be met on
site. Traffic considerations must be addressed. Special emphasis on 1.2,
2.3, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1
#6-3 Vail Row Houses

(HDMF) District zoning. Where possible, driveway widths shall be
minimized and areas for landscaping increased. Surface parking
