SllBJECT: A request for a residential addition ufilizing fhe 250 Ordinanee fo afCow for an
expansion #o an existing unit lacated at 1522 Buffehr Creek RoadlUnit A-26, The
Va1ley Phase 1(The Valley Condos).
Applicant: Sherman R. Milfer IV
Planner: Jeff Hunt
. E3ACKGFtOUND AND DESCRIPTIUN OF THE REQUEST
In 1985, #he Vail T"own Council approved Ordinance 4, Series af 4985, which created a new
Chapter (18.71) ta the Vail Municipal Code, entitled "Additional Gross Residential Fionr Area,"
The purpose of the Additional GRFA Ordinance is ta provide an inducement far the upgrading of
existing dwellings units, which have been in existence for a period of at least #ive years, by
perrrtitt'tng up to two hundred fi€ty (250) square feet of GRFA (beyond fhe maximum allowance) ta
be added to a dwelling unit. Certain criteria must be met in arder to allow the additional GRFA.
~ ln August 1995, the Town Council appraved Ordinance 6, Series of 1595, which amended
Chapter 18.71 by eliminating the abiGty to use the additianal GRFA when a dwelling uni# is a
"demotrebuifd." The 1995 Ordinance a(so requires fhaf all requests for additional GRFA, that
involve ex#erior changes #o a building, be reviewed and approved by the Planning and
Enviranrvzental Gommission.
Unit Ae26 is a single family structure lacated in the Valley Condos. With this proposal, the
applicants are requesting the addition af approximately 133 square feet of GRFA by adding a
bedroom on #he ground level. The applican#s are alsa proposing to replace the existing deck
with a new deck, but this woufd not affect GRFA. The addition will be finished in the same color
and with the sarne materials to match the existing building. The proposal compiies wi#hall other
zoning reguirements. See attached plan for more detail.
11. ZONING ANALYSIS
The Valley Phase 1 was canstructed under the jurisdiction of Eagle Courtty. The property is
zonet! Resaaential Cluster by the I'own. The development exco.-ded the mum C!7A
allowable by the Town, however, since it v+ras annexed to the Town with an accepted
paa,'i, the exisriny c:onaitions are ctrnsidered legal qnd non-cnnf~rming Each uni#
,,f : ser is enfitled to apply for additional GRFA under the 250 ordinance.
1lt. CR1TERIA AND FIIVC3INGS
Upon review flf Chapter 18.71 - Additional GRFA, the Communi#y Development Deparfinent
,e.:ommends approval of this reques# for additianal GRFA based upnn the following factars:
~ A. Consideration Qf Factors:
x
1
Before acting on an application for additionai GRFA, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect #a the proposed use:
1. Effect upan the exis#inq #opoqraphy9 vege#ation, drainage and existinq
struatures.
The proposed addition would be on virutally flat terrain. No trees or other
significan# vegetatian would be a€fected. The addition should have no
effect on drainage. It is estimated that the addition wauld be about T from
an existing structure ta the east. Shouid the additian be within 6' of the
adjacent structure, therr building codes would be triggered regarding fire
spread. A condition of approval should be that if the additian is
cons#rucfed 6' from any existing structure, then compliance with building
codes regarding fire spread will be required,
2. Impact an adjacent properties.
7he proposed addition is to a residence #hat is in the middle of the subject
parcel and not near any praperty lines. The addition wi11 not have a
negative impact on adjacent properties.
3. Camptiance wi#h the Town's zoninq requiremen#s and applicable
devetop,ment standards.
Section 18.71.020 (F) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code rsquires that any
dwelling unit that proposes to use Additional GRFA shall camply with the ~
standards outlined in the Tawn of Vail aesign Review Guidelines. These
standards include landscaping, undergroundirtg of utilities, driveway
paving and general main#enance of the properfy. The site has paved
parking and adequate Ianclscaoing. Alf utilities are iacated undergraund.
Findinas:
The PIanning and Environmental Commission should make the following findings before
granting approval for Addifianal GRFA:
1. That as coriditioned, the granting of the requested Additional GRFA wi11
not negatively affect existing tapogcaphy, vegetation, drainage and existing

Floar Area {GaFA} in the Muiti-family Zone Districfs.
Applicant: Town of Vail .
Planner: George Ruther '
1. DESCRIPTION QF THE REQUEST
At the request of the Vail Tovvn Council, the Commurtity Development Departmen# has
been asked ta initiate revisions ta the Town of Vail Zaning Reguiations address6ng #he
regufat4an of Gross Residential Floar Area (GRFA) inthe multi-family zone districts.
Specifically, the Cpuncil requested that the implementation of the existing 250 CJrdinance
and the newly created interior Ctinversion regulation be revised to a11aw greater fiexibiiity
in the mul#i-family zone districts, and ta create consistency in the implementatian of
~ additional GRFA among afl the residential zone districts. Ta aecomplish this task,
revisions wouid need to be made to Sectians 12-15-4 (interior conversions) and 12-15-5
(additional GRFA) of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations. All changes to the Zaning
Regulations require a review and a recommendatian from the Planning and
Environmental Cammissinn and two readings of an amending ordinance by the "Cown
Council.
_ The #ollowing changes are being proposed ta Section 12-15-4 (interiar eonversions):
? Secfion 12-15-4 B, B1 - Add Muf#iwfamify ciwe!}ing units #o alloweddweiling tY~es,
+ Section 12-15-4 B2 - Amend language to aHow interior conversions in aii structures
with the exception of employee housing units.
?Section 12-15-4 B3 - Ramoue provisior? not permitting ir?terior conversions to multi-
family dwe!)ing units.
The foliowing changes are being proposed to Section 12-95-5 (additianal GRFA)_
s 5ection 12-15-5 C 5-- Amend language to remove the requirement that the #irst
application for additional GRFA be responsible for Guideline Compliance, as #his requirement will no langer be appiicable since the entire project must aPPlY
simuitaneausly for the utilization of additiona! GRFA.

TON~V'
~
? Section 12-15-5 C 6- Amend the language to include a requirement that the ~
condominium association or a similar goveming body shall make application for the
utilization of additionai GRFA an behalf of each of the individua9 dwel4ing urtit owners.
? Section 12-15-5 C 7- Remove language that prohibits exterior additions to multi-
#amily s#ructures when utilizing the additional GRFA.
? Section 12-15-5 C-Amend language to inc0ude arequirement that the use of
additionai GRF'A by individual dwelling unit owners, pursuant to the additional GRFA
provisions, is permitted only when 100°fo of the awners in the structure are also
propasing to utilize their additional CRFA as well. The intent being that when -
exterior additions are proposed to a multi-family structure, the addition of the GRFA
is cSesigned and develaped in context of the entire structure.
? Sectian 12-15-5 D 1- Add language requiring that apptications for additional GRFA
sha11 be submitted by the condaminium association or a s?miiar governing body.

GRFA are reviewed by #he Design Review Board or administratively.
11. BACKGROUND ~
On September 15, 1998, staff met with the Vail Town Council. The purpase of the
meeting was to ir?#orm the Council of the Planning & Environmental Commission's
meeting on September 14 regarding the proposed text amendments and to get the
Councii's input on the prapasai. Follawing discussian with #he Gouncil, staff was
directed ta draft an ardinance allowing interior conversions m multi-family stnactures artd
permitting exterior GRFA additions to muCti-family structures utilizing additianal GRFA
(250). The exterior additions would be allowed provided that afl of the dwel(ings units
within the multi-famify structure propose additians which are architecturafly compatible
and that the design of the additians is developed with the cantext of the e+ntire praject in '
mind. Appiications far additional GRFA would require that 100% of the dwelling unit
owners carastruct the additions simultaneously. Further, to ensure that the design of the
project was developed with the entire project in mind, stafF was directed to include within
the ordinance a provision requiring that applicattions for additional GRFA be made by a
aondominium association or other similar goveming body.
Rccnrding to the Council, the purpase of the amertdments is to create consistency in the
implernentatiQn of the additional GRFA reguiatinn regardless of the residential zone
district
~

,
The Zoning Regulations define a"multi-family dweffiing" as
~ "A building cantaining #hree (3) ar more dwelling units, including tawnhauses,
rowhouses, apartments, and condominiums, designed far, or used by three (3) or
more families, each living as an independent housekeeping unit.,,
I1l, STAFF FtECOMMENDATiON
When discussing passible revisions to the GRFA regulations addressing the ;
implementation of GRFA relative to multi-family dwefling units, staff wauid sugges# #hat the following critEria be cansidered by the Planndng and Environmental Commission priar
#o recommending an amendment ta the Town Gaunci(:
1. Effectiveness of #he regulation
2. Apprapriateness af the regulation
3. Enforceabifity of the regulation
4. Easy of implementa#ion
5. Cansistency of the regulation relative to other similar regulations
6. Impact to architectural quality.
~ Staff utilized the above-described criteria in evaluating the proposed zoning regulation
text amendments. The cbnclusiQn 4f the staff after evaluating the proposed
amendments is that the proposed changes to Section 12-15-4 {interior conversions} wiil
result in an appropriate reguiation of GRFA in muiti-family structUres fhat is both easiiy
enforced and implemented, and crea#es consistency in the implementation of GRFA
among aSi residentiai zone districts. Staff believes that the proposed changes to Section
12-15-4 wi{i not have any significant negative impacts on the architectural quality of
multii-fam+ly structures. in fact, in some instances, we believe fihat the changes wifl tesuit
in improvetl architectural quality.
The conclusion of the staff after evaluatir?g the proposed amendmen#s ta Seetion 12-15-
5 is that the prapased changes will result in a regulation that is effective at creating
consistency among residential zone districts, but is nei#her effective, nar useful to the
owners of multi-farni{y dwelling units. We belfeve that the proposed changes will be very
difficult ta implement and create enfarcement problems. However, stafF does believe
that the proposed changes, if they are able to be implemented, will have pasitive impacts
an architectural quality since all of the additional GRFA wauld be added with the context
of the entire structure in mind.
Staff would recommend that anather alternative to the proposed text amendments to
Section 12-15-5 {additiona4 GRFA} be considered. Staff wauld recnmmend that the
additianai GRFA be implemented far multi-#amily structures neariy the same way it is
implemented for single-family and two-family structures, Individual dwelling unit owners
~ within multi-family structures should be allowed to apply to utilize additional GRFA far
exterior additions independent of the entire structure appiying and utilizing the additional
3
GRFA. Language could be added to the regu4atians addressing design anci architectura{ ~
compafibility requirements. The requirements wauld be intended to in5ure that scale, .
propartion, design, treatment, character, context, colnrs, etc. are considered in the
review process. It would be equally impartant ta note in the revised language that
architectural compatibility and the cumulative efFecfs of exterior additions cauld be
causes for denial of an application far additiarial GRFA. As stated in the purpose
statement of the Additiona( GRFA (250 Urdinance), in part,
"This section does not assure each single-family or two-famiiy dwelling located.
within the Town of "Vail an additionai 250 square feet of CRFA." ,
- The availabifity of the additianal GRFA is cc3nditioned upon the application conforming to .
certain requirements. The same couid hoRd true #oc multi-#amily structures and the
dweiGng units within.
Staff believes the proposed altemative to the prnposed text amendments will result in a
change to #he additional GRFA regulations that, in effect, ailaws property awners to
upgrade their properties, is apprapriate in terms af a{lowing exterior additions when the
additions will have na negative impacts, is easily implemen#ed by thestaff, creates
consistency amang afil the residential zone districts and dwelling unit types in Town and
vstil} have no negative impacfis on fihe architec#uraf quality of the existing muiti-family
structures. An important distinctidn af the proposed altemative is tha# staff stron9lY
be4ieves that a regulation that is easily implemented, Gke the interior conversian fiar
example, `ss easi{y processed and reviewed which resu9ts, we believe, in improved
customer service and satisfaetion. ~

SUBJEC7. Overview af Community Development projects
Staff; Russ Forrest
~ I . Ptl1"p4S£
The purpose of this worksession is to obtain the Tawn Council°s input on projects that
,should be included in the 1999 & 2000 work-plan and budget for Community
Development. Attached is a summary of projects that over the course of the {ast year
either have been identified by Council, P{ar?ning and Environmental Commission, or staff
far action. Most of the listed projects do not invaive additional resources outside of staff
fiime. Several projects such as an ecor?omic devslapment ptan and cammunity #acilities
plan wouid require consulting fees. Estimated costs are provided in the attached matrix
where there may be consulting fees {see calumn projecttestimafied cast}.
2. ~~a'5'ing Capacity for Projects
Please take an opportunity ta review the projects and determine what projects you feel
should be addressed and which anes should not. For those actians #hat you feel shauld
be included in the Community Development wark pEan, p(ease indicate whetker yoLt €eet
ifi is a high, medium, or law pricarity. As a point of reference, Community Deve(opment
can comfortably manage 2 major cammunity projects at a time (i.e., Common Ground,
Lionshead). Each Senicar Planner can effectively handle 1 lang-range project a# a time
(i.e. Aus#ria House,_GRF'A code revision) aiurag with a full case-load of development
review prajects. We currentiy have 2 Senior Planners and a Chief of Pianninq. The
;:~rivironrnentai Hea~ti'l Speciaiist carr u~~~~~~ r~iai-iage 1-2 major projects at atime
(Green 5tar Program, Waste Managernent). The Housing program is already relatively
defined by the Common Ground pracess. However, the Cauncil's input an housing
recommendations identified by the pubfic as part flf the recent common graund
~ discussions wauld be very helpful. -
,
RECYCLEDPAPER
The a#tached list includes space to mark whether yau feei an actian is a priority fior
action. At the Tuesday worksession, staff will briefly review each praject in a power
point presentation. 5taff will then ask Council to identify high priority actions.
3. ReGOmmendations
4n September 28, 1998 the Planning and Environmen#al Cammission reviewed the
C3epartment's project list and made recommendations an high priari#y actions. The high
priority recommendations inciude:
• Economic Development Plan
+ Gommunity Facility Siting
• Revise EHU pnlicy and improve enfarcement
• Review parking pay in (ieu policy
• Continue impraving deveiopment process (Development Review
Improvement Process) provide an intemet connection for applications
• Codify staff interpretations
• Improve water quality protectian standards (erosion confiral, stnrmwater
management)
• Complete Solid Waste Plan
• Update Design Guidelines after Lionshead Master Plan is complete
o Evaluafie cc>vering 1-70 and identify mitigation for interstate noise anti air
quality impacts
The Community C7evelapment sta€f fully supparts the Town Managers Budget, which ~
propases funding fior an economic development plan and a cammunity facility plan within
the Planning Division, We feel these to be the most critical planning needs that nead
funding at this time. The Manager's budget also funds the first tier actions for Camman
Ground and the propased environmental projects. Staff aiso feels an evaluation of ,
performance building codes would be very useful #o imprave building safety and a11ow
addifional creativity in design.

Dominic Mauriello gave an averview pf the stafF memo and stated that staff was attempting to ~
create a regulation which would nat overburden applicants with restrictions and regulatians that, in
fact, would be used.
Greg Moffet stated that the PEC would first discuss the Interior Conversian section. He then said
he saw an issue with parkirrg on multiple family devalopments and that if an expansion created a
need for additional parking, it may be difficult to provide.
Daminic Mauriello explained the parking reguirements were based on square footages.
Greg Maffet stated for the record that no public came forward to speak.
John Schofield asked what the intent of administration would be.
Dominic Mauriello said it would be the same as what was being done today.
Greg Mofifet asked if there would be amnesty for existing illegal interior conversions.
Dominic Mauriello said, yes.
John Schofield asked about any cnmmon area.
Dominic Maurie(lo said a fetter would be required from the Condo Association far any interior
conversion per existing cade requirements and that cammon area ccauld be utilizeri as lang as it is
interior. ~
John Schofield made a motion to recommend approval of the changes to allow multi-#amify interior
conversions.
8rian Doyon seconded the motian.
The motion paSsed by a vote of 7-0.
Qiane Colden left at 2:20 p.m.
Daminic-Mauriello gave an overview of the 250 section far exterior additions for multi-family units.
Greg Moffet asked far any public comment. There was no public comment.
Tom Weber said he was not sure the 250 sq. ft, additional GRFA for exterior expansions was
appropriate for multi-fiamily prajec#s, as he was not sure this wauld work any better if people were to
come in with separate applicatians. He said the first applicant should be the Association and the
Association should be responsible for guideline campiiance and organizing their tenants, whieh
uvould make it almast impassible ta get anything done. He saici if we were trying to incerttivize

~ decent impravements, the 250 was nat the best way to get there, since the Assaciation was
responsible fiQr pulling everyth;ng together.
Brian Doyan said it was scary to give the 250's to a large camplex, since there was oNy so much
room and he was crancerned abocrt density. He said there would be no gain for the individual unit if
it was located in the middie caf the building. Fle said the Association would need a rrtaster plan and
sequencing to accompiish this. He thought that postage stamping new additions on o1d buildings
would look hodge podge an a bui(ding. He also said with a large building, it wou(dn't work out with
each individual owner and #his was nat about keeping up with the code. He said we wauld see
nothing, if it went to the association.
Dominic lVfaurielfo said new square footage would work within the existing density, with no
additional units.
Brian Dayon said the 254 was not designed for muftiple family developments and would nat have
the same benefits as fnr a single family.
aominic Mauriello said that Council iooked at this with fihe Association caming in as the applicant,
and that it needed to get all buiit together as one product.
John Schofield said he remembered from a past memo, fhat this would add 1.3 mi]lion additional
square feet to the Town of Vail. Ne said Council would need that ntamber. He said it was scary, as
it would be tao much square footage out there. He said a blanket 250 to a 300 sq. ft studio being
treated the same as to a 6,000 square foot unit didn't make sense. He said a percentage needed
~ to be given based on square footage instead of a flat 250. He also agreed #o have 100°l0 of the
Association would nat work. He said fram a practicai standpaint, this would not work, but from an
architectural standpoint, it made sense.
Galen Aasfand said the basis was to bring fairness to zaning. He said patkingwould be hugely
affected with fihe iarger parcels and #he way it was written, it was not starfing from an equai
situation.
Ann Bishop said this was a complex i~~ue and it would be very ciifficu1t to gei the cc~ndo cswnership
to agree, but there needed to be consistency with starting oufi frorn the same playing field. Ann said
that additions should be on a r,,ase-by-case basis. She stated we must encourage people to
renovate, sa perhaps we need more time to think this through.
Greg Moffet said he would vote to recommend #o Council that zoniiig acrass aII districts is inherently
unequat and this was not the right way to dcr i#. He said there were much more furtc#arnental issues
needing s#aff time and he couldn't encourage any rnore wasted time on this issue. He said that if
Gouncil was dead set for this, then the applica#ions should go directly to Council and not to staff, or
the PEC, because it is a waste of time. He stated that rea{ incentives need to be develaped, if
redeveloprrrent is the aim, utilizing many more too?s, Iske fhe Lionshead Master Pian.

Tom Weber said we needed something to incent large projects and we needed something to direct ~
to associatians and that this nrdinance needed to address projects, not intiividual owners.
Dominic Mauriello summarized that #he PEC wanted to see a camprenensive ordinanee addressing
incentives for redevelopment of multi-family project and not a coakie cutter approach using the 250
ordinance.
