0 MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: November 24, 1997
SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 18.36.030(V), to allow
ski storage to be located in the first level of the Vail Parking Structure, located at
241 East Meadow Drive, Block 5D, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: All Mountain Sports, represented by Phil Horsman
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit in order to provide a ski storage facility within
the Vail Transportation Center (TRC). The proposal provides approximately 950 sq. ft. of floor
area on the first level of the TRC (in the location that currently contains horizontal ski lockers).
The proposal divides an existing wide corridor to provide the area for ski storage and a narrower
pedestrian corridor. The proposal will not obstruct foot traffic to the parking areas of the garage.
The area would be lighted, heated and changing areas would be provided.
The hours of operation are proposed to be 7:30 am to 5:30 pm seven days a week.
The TRC is zoned General Use (GU) which lists ski storage as a conditional use as long as the
use is accessory to the parking structure.
See applicant's letter attached.
REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST
In addition to the conditional use criteria, staff has included the purpose statement from the
General Use zone district, as we believe this will help the PEC in its evaluation of the request.
The ski storage is proposed to be located in the General Use (GU) zone district. According to
Section 18.36.010 of the Zoning Code, the purpose of the GU zone district is:
to provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their special
characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards
prescribed by other zoning districts, and for which development standards especially
prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve
the purposes prescribed in Section 18.02.020 and to provide for the public welfare. The
General Use District is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and certain
types of quasi-public uses permitted in the District are appropriately located and designed
0 1
I'OWNOFVAIL?
to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses,
and, in cases of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open
spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses.
Ski storage may be permitted in the GU zone district subject to the issuance of a conditional use
permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60. For the PEC's reference, the
conditional use permit purpose statement indicates that:
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 so
that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with
respect to their affects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this
chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between
conditional uses and surrounding properties in 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 insure that the location and operation of the
conditional uses will be in accordance with the 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 permit shall be denied.
The conditional use permit consideration of factors are as follows:
Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
The proposed ski storage will provide a necessary amenity in the Town and will
complement the parking structure as an accessory use. Several goals of the
Land Use Plan promote increasing amenities for the visitor as well as locals. Staff
believes this is an appropriate use in the parking structure and that the use will
positively impact the development objectives of the Town.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities
needs.
The proposed ski storage will have little, if any, negative impact on these issues.
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 street and parking areas.
The proposed ski storage will have little, if any, negative impacts on these issues.
The use is proposed within an existing structure. The use will be conveniently
located along interior pedestrian corridors and provides for the efficient flows of
customers and pedestrians.
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.
The proposed ski storage will have little, if any, impact on surrounding uses as the
2
1*
use is proposed within the existing parking structure.
The conditional use permit findings are as follows:
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before
granting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes
of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes
of the district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code.
Ill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the applicant's request for a
conditional use permit for commercial ski storage, subject to the following findings:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the
116 conditional use permit section of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the GU
zone district.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it will be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
conditional use permit section of the Zoning Code.

All Mountain Sports Proposal
of Ski Storage Facility in the
Village Parking Structure
It is the intention of All Mountain Sports LLC to enclose space #101 on the first level of
the Village Parking Structure, currently under lease to All Mountain Sports, in order to
provide affordable ski and snowboard storage for guests and locals alike.
The space will be heated to provide a comfortable changing area as well as keeping boots
warm and dry. We will add lighting both inside and outside the space, and will use material
to finish the wall to enhance the appearance of the space, as deemed appropriate by town
staff.
The facility will be staffed from 7:30a.m. to 5:30p.m. and equipment will be stored in
racks behind counters using a claim check system. There will be no obstruction of foot
traffic to and from the parking area on level one (see plans).
It is our opinion that a storage facility is the highest and best use of this space. The tenant
finish will improve the aesthetics of the parking structure, and the service provided will be
of benefit in reducing the number of skis and snowboards traveling on the buses, as well as
improving the skiing experience for the large number of guests that have to carry their
equipment to and from their hotels or condos.
There will be no effect on traffic flow and pedestrian safety will be improved since skiers
taking the buses will not be in ski boots.
This project is fully supported by parking supervisor, Mike Rose.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter and please feel free to call me at any time
at 949-9255 to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
-'?41 1

Re: Livns,hetad Re-development
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, as attorney in fact for the Owner of Unit 407 Westwind at Vail, R. Christie Hanna,
in reliance on original and official development plans in 1969, strongly objects to the proposed "re-
developrnent of Lionshead" for these reasons:
0 At the time of purchase of Unit 407 in Westwind in 1969, planning did not
contemplate:
V High buildings as now proposed.
V Increased density to the level now proposed.
V A circulation corridor going through the center of Town,
%/ Seven or eight-story buildings blocking light, views and air.

Further, funding (by taxation) of public improvements in accordance with the Re-development Plan
will be:
0 challenged as the improvements are designed exclusively to benefit the ground floor
retail owners and tenants, developers, and Vail Associates.
Ladies and gentlemen, be very cautions in approving a Re-development Plan designed to: (i) benefit
the cash register of Vail Associates by increasing usage of their Gondola, (ii) provide increased unit
density to reduce the cost of land per unit in new deveiopments so as to increase developer
profitability, and (iii) promote retail sales and store owner profitability.

1. A request for a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 18.36.030(V), to allow ski
storage to be located in the first level of the Vail Village Parking Structure, located at 241
East Meadow Drive, Block 5D, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: All Mountain Sports, represented by Phil Horsman
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the staff memo.
Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add.
Phil Horsman explained how this would be a benefit for the guests of Vail.
John Schofield asked if this was to be long term or short term ski storage.
Phil Horsman said the application was for short term, however, he would not be opposed to
opening it up to long term storage.
John Schofield asked if this was to be strictly storage.
Phil Horsman said, yes.
Gene Uselton asked how a tenant goes about leasing space in the Transportation Center.
Dominic Mauriello answered that this was just like any landlord situation in Town, with the
exception of certain designated spaces.
Gene Uselton asked who had the title to the space, once leasehold improvements were done.
Dominic Mauriello said the landlord (Town of Vail) and that the Fire Department would have to
approve the plans, as there were issues with fire suppression.

November 24, 1997
Gene Uselton suggested that the Town consider advertising Town-owned space that is available
for rent or, perhaps, issue invitations to bid when economic considerations justify it. He pointed
out that competitive bidding was a way of assuring that the Town receives a market price for the
sale or rental of Town property. He then asked if there was a dressing room.
Phil Horsman said there was a space for changing boots, with a counter staffed to hand out
claim checks for skis and boots to be stored. He explained that first floor storage was $3.00 per
night.
Ann Bishop had no comments.
Greg Moffet stated that this was strictly for storage and not for valets, or running carts up Bridge
Street. He said the conditional use permit would allow no tuning of skis on-site and he
suggested a condition on the approval, or as written with stricter language for ski storage only.
John Schofield made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memo and stated that
this was to allow for ski storage only.
Gene Uselton seconded the motion.
Greg Moffet advised staff to strengthen the language, making it clear the intent was only for
storage.
Dominic Mauriello assured the PEC it would be made clear when approved.
The motion passed by a vote of 4-0.
