MEMORANDUM,
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 25, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for modifications from a previously granted conditional use permit for
the Vail Interfaith Chapel, located at 19 Vail Road/ Tract J, Block 7, Vail Village
1 St.
Applicant: Vail Interfaith Chapel, represented by Gwathmey/Pratt Architects
Planner: Jeff Hunt
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting the modification of a conditional use permit that was approved on
August 24, 1993. The approval was for a two-story building with the upper level to house clergy
offices and consultation areas. The request is to allow the lower level of the building to be used
as a shelter for stranded travelers.
The request only involves the use of the previously approved building and does not include any
expansion of the building.
II. ZONING ANALYSIS
This site is zoned General Use (GU) which allows churches and related facilities subject to the
review and approval of a conditional use permit. The development standards for the GU district
are determined by the PEC. The PEC must determine what development standards are needed
on a site specific basis. The standards, below, were approved by the PEC for the conditional
use permit for the building:
Zoning: General Use (GU)
Lot area: 31,611 sq. ft. ( 0.726 acres)
Standard Allowed GU Existinq, Proposed Total
Building height: PEC n/a 28' highest ridge/29.5' to top
of cupola
Landscape area: PEC 13,950 sq. ft. (44%) 10,400 sq. ft. (33%)
Site Coverage: PEC 4,514 sq. ft. (14%) 7,264 sq. ft. (23%)
Parking: PEC 31 spaces 37 spaces

MW*VA&
Ill. RENAEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST 0
The code criteria for review of a conditional use permit are included below. In addition to the
conditional use criteria, staff has included the purpose statement from the zoning code, as we
believe this will help the PEC in its evaluation of the request.
The Vail Interfaith Chapel is located in the General Use (GU) zone district. According to Section
12-9C-1 of the Zoning Regulations, the purpose of the GU 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 12-1-2 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
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.
A church shall be permitted in the GU zone district subject to the issuance of a conditional use
permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16, Conditional Use Permits. 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 is as follows:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of
the Town.
Staff believes the proposed use is consistent with the development
objectives of the Town. This quasi-public use provides benefits to the
Town of Vail citizens.
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.
L...J
2
Staff believes the proposed use will have little impact on these criteria.
The use will not add additional building mass to the site and will be
contained within the building. The use should have little if any impact on
adjacent properties with respect to fight and air.
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 use would only occur on those occasions when travel is
restricted, such as with the closure of Vail Pass. This traditionally occurs
about 3-6 times a year. The situation in town could be considered as an
emergency. It is anticipated that there would be up to about 15 people
using the lower level for shelter.
The number of people using the lower level would be far less than the
number of people who use the chapel for worship. Furthermore, many of
the stranded travelers would have already parked their vehicles
somewhere in town. However, it is likely the chapel parking lot and
surrounding streets could become overwhelmed, especially if the
emergency occurred on a day of worship. But, because this use would
occur so infrequently and because of the emergency nature of the use,
traffic, circulation and parking should not be taken into account at this
time. This Chapter provides that conditional use permits may be ,
revocable. This should be a condition of approval, in case the use creates
conflicts.
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 use would only occur 3-6 times a year. The scale of use is minimal
due to the very few times that the use would occur. Staff believes the
proposed use is consistent with the character of the area.
The Plannino and Environmental Commission shall make the followinra findings
before tarantino a conditional use hermit:
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.
3
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the modification to
the conditional use permit allowing the lower level to be used as a temporary shelter for
stranded travelers, subject to the following findings:
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.
The recommendation of approval is also subject to the following conditions:
The approval is subject to compliance with the conditional use permit approved on
August 24, 1998.
2. Should the use create significant conflicts with adjacent properties, including
traffic congestion or parking, then this permit may be revoked by the Planning and
Environmental Commission.

MEMORANDUM
TO. Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM. Community Development Department
DATE: January 25, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for an amendment to an approved development plan located at
1850 S. Frontage Rd. W.1 Lot 6, Alpine Creek Townhomes, Phase III
Applicant: Jim and Sharon Fowler, represented by Fritzlen, Pierce,
Smith Architects
Planners Allison Ochs
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicants are requesting an amendment to a 1992 approved development plan for
Alpine Creek Townhomes, originally Spruce Creek, Phase III. The 1992 approval
allowed for 6 single-family residences, with 2,300 sq. ft. of GRFA and 1,325 sq. ft. of site
coverage per unit. The applicants are requesting a change to the site coverage allowed
by the approved development plan, while remaining within allowable GRFA. The
applicant's reasoning for this request, along with the Alpine Creek Townhome
Association letter of approval have been attached.
Lots 1 through have already been constructed. The current proposal is a request for
an increase in the allowable site coverage, allocated to Lot 6. While GRFA remains at
2,300 sq. ft., the applicants are proposing approximately 1,660 sq. ft. of site coverage,
an increase of 335 sq. ft.
II. BACKGROUND
In 1979, Eagle County approved a three phase development plan for Spruce Creek,
allowing for 33 dwelling units and 57,750 sq. ft. of GRFA. Originally, Phase Ill was
approved for 12 units and 21,000 sq. ft. of GRFA.
On August 12, 1991, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved 6 single
family homes with a total of 13,800 sq. ft. of GRFA.
On October 14, 1991, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
proposal for 5 single family dwelling units while all other development standards
remained the same.
On April 27, 1992, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
proposal to return to the 6 single family dwelling units, while all other development
standards remained the same. These development standards included 2300 sq. ft.
of GRFA per unit and 1325 sq. ft. of site coverage per unit.
TOW%VAIL
This request is before the Planning and Environmental Commission because of a
requirement passed by ordinance soon after West Vail was annexed. Ordinance No. 13,
Series of 1981, stipulates that major changes to development plans for certain
developments within the West flail annexation area be approved by the Planning and
Environmental Commission. No criteria for evaluation were given, except that
Residential Cluster was to be considered the underlying zone district for development
standards.

IV.
DISCUSSION
Staff believes that the proposal is consistent with the development of the Alpine Creek
Townhomes. The proposed increase in site coverage from the previously approved
development is an increase of 335 sq. ft., but remains under the site coverage allowed
by the original 1979 development plan and Residential Cluster Zoning. Architecturally,
the residence will be similar to the existing townhomes, but not identical (see attached
sketch) and subject to Design Review Board approval. The proposed increase in site
coverage for lot 6 is similar to the ratio of building site coverage to lot size for the existing
Alpine Creek Townhomes.
2
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this amendment to the Alpine Creek / Spruce Creek,
Phase III development plan based on the following findings:
1. That the increase in site coverage, while an increase from the 1992 approval, is a
reduction in allowable site coverage from both the 1979 Eagle County Approval
and Residential Cluster Zoning.
2. That the ratio of building site coverage to lot area is similar to existing
development.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
amendment, staff recommends the following condition:
1. That all other conditions from the previous April 27, 1992 approval be met
including:
a. Maintain a ten foot separation between buildings
b. CRFA is limited to 2300 sq. ft.
C. Height is limited to 32 ft.
2. That all conditions stated in the approval letter (attached) from the Alpine Creek
Townhomes be met prior to Design Review Board approval.

re: Proposed Residence
Lot 96
Dear Trudie,
ERITZLEN
PIERCE
S I T H
A R C H I T E C T S
Thank you for taking the time to meet with myself and Sharon Fowler yesterday. It was my
understanding that the association had the following concerns about proposed development on
Lot 46:
- Potential interruption of view corridors
- Structured improvements in the common area not including landscape improvements and
related retaining walls and terraces.
-'T'hat the size of the unit not exceed the allowed for the existing units.
- Continuity of design and materials
As we discussed yesterday we clarified that the proposed residence addresses your concerns as
per the following-
-4> - The building footprint at grade (at the ground) is a minimum of 5' away from the property line
and does not project into the western view from the existing townhomes back decks.
- We are not proposing any enclosed building area in the common area. Except for the concrete
driveway we agree not to encroach on any common area. This includes but is not limited to decks
patios, overhangs and structures.
The unit is proposed to be 2300 GRFA (Gross residential square footage) as regulated by the
Town of Vail for all the Alpine Creek Townhomes.
- It is our intention to match and/or complement existing materials and colors as we develop the
design. We will present this information in the future for your review.
-Landscaping will allow for placement of snow removed from driveway.
I have drafted a letter of approval that we would need to proceed with the Town of Vail
"Amendment to an Approved Development Plan" application. Ideally this letter would be on
your letterhead and signed by yourself as the Association President. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Lynn Fritzlen AIA

1. A request for modifications from a previously granted conditional use permit, located at
19 Vail Road / Tract J, Block 7, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: Vail Interfaith Chapel, represented by Gwathmey-Pratt Architects
Planner: Jeff Hunt
Brian Doyon recused himself from this item.
Jeff Hunt gave an overview of the staff memo.
Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add.
Karl Walker, President of the Vail Interfaith Chapel Foundation, said that the parking was an
issue, but he did not see this adding any parking pressure to the Town of Vail and they added 6
parking spaces with the application.
Greg Moffet asked for any public comments. There were no comments.
John Schofield asked for assurances that this use will be for the Chapel events only and he
added that the original approval required additional parking.
Galen Aasland said he was less concerned about meetings at night, but he was concerned with
any day events, such as daycare, etc.
Ann Bishop had no comments.
Diane Golden had no comments.
Greg Moffet stated that the shelter occurred in off-hours and that this was the kind of stuff we
want to have in our Town and not down valley. He said he was comfortable with approving this
use in this place.

Minutes
January 25, 1999
Galen Aasland made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memo.
Diane Golden seconded the motion.
The motion passed by a vote of 4-1-1, with John Schofield opposed.
2. A request for an amendment to an approved development plan, to allow for an increase
in site coverage and reconfiguration of a building envelope, located at 1 850 S. Frontage
Road West/Lot 6, Alpine Creek Townhomes.
Applicant: Jim & Sharon Fowler, represented by Fritzlen, Pierce, Smith
Planner: Allison Ochs
Allison Ochs gave an overview of the staff memo.
Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add.
Lynn Fritzlen, representing Jim & Sharon Fowler, explained the application was before the PEC,
as they needed to better match the site.
Greg Moffet asked for any public comment.
Bret Young, representing Jane Cohen, said he originally helped build the units with Mike
Lauterback. He said he was concerned with one window in the sourtheast corner of Jane
Cohen's home, which would be covered up by this building. He stated the approval letter from
the Association did not include her permission (unit 5).
Jane Cohen said the the project blocks her view the way it was planned.
Lynn Fritzlen said the Association had properly approved this.
Greg Moffet asked if the commissioners had any comments.
Galen Aasland asked if the adjacents knew that this parcel could be sold off. He asked,
regarding the access, if this was a right-of-way.
Lynn F'ritzlen showed the line on a map.
Galen Aasland said this request was an approvable project, but he wished all the property
owners could have signed the approval letter. He said it would be a neighborly thing to work it
out with the other party.
Ann Bishop had no comments.
Diane Golden said she would love to see the property owners get together to tweak this.
Brian Doyon said the property owners should have reasonably assumed that there would be
something there.
John Schofield said, basically the owner could have placed the structure back without coming to
us. He said the setbacks haven't changed and so the applicant could put the building anywhere
they wanted. He then asked if the power lines were supposed to be underground.

Minutes

Galen Aasland seconded the motion.
The motion passed by a vote of 6-0.
