Applicant: JWT 1987 Limited Partnership, represented by John Perkins John and Judy Angelo, represented by Ken Robertson and Larry Eskwith Planner: Dominic Mauriello 1. pESCRIPT10M ANL3 BACKGROUND dF THE REQUEST The Vail Athletic Club (JWT 1987 Limited Partnership), represented by Stan Cope and John f'erkins, has submitted a request #or a Malor Amendment to Special Develapment District {SdL}) #30 (as amended by 4rdinance No. 3, Series of 1998) to allaw fior a reduction in the nurnber of ~ accommodation units from 54 to 46 (or 48), an increase in the number of dwelling units from 3 to 4(new dwelling unit to contain one (ock-off unit}, and an increase in GRFA as shown in the table attached ta this memarandum. The changes are proposed due to fiinancing constraints (the need to have additional revenue from the sale of a dwelling unit) and also the desire to construct larger accommodation units which the applicant states are mare suitable for a first cfass boutique hotel. The applicant is asking for some flexibility in the exact number of accommodation units so that tinal des'rgn and costing can determine whether they pravide 46 AUs or 48 AUs (48 is the maximum number they can have based on parking requirements). Additionally; the awner of a condominium on the fifth floor (Angelo) is proposing to add a dormer and 713 sq, ft. of GRFA to their unit. This eondorninium awner is entitled to add this space and dormer under the in#erior conversion ordinance (Section 12-15-4) which was passed last year regardless of this SDD arnentlment, however, they have agreed to bring this request forward with the 11AG applieation sa that it can be viewed with the other improvements. Belaw is a summary of the changes (it should be noted that final hotel room design has nat been comp(eted and therefore there could be minor shifts in floar area to accommadate maid storage and other necessary cornmon area improvements): Common Area: There is a slight reduction in common area (52 sq. ft.) from the 1998 approval. AUs: The number of AUs is reduced to 46 units. T'he GRFA allacated to alfi AUs decreased approximately 10°l0 or 2,337 sq. ft. Most of ~ the existing accommodation units are approximately 300 sq. ft. 5ame new accommodatian units are praposed at 500+ sq, ft. F:\EVERYON E\PECtMEMC?S\99\VAC2. DOC *VAIL 1 TO{Yt!! ( - 4 DUsa The number of DUs is being increased by one unit (3 DUs to 4). ~ The new proposed unit is approximately 3,700 sq. #t. in area. The west condo now has a lock-off assnciated with it. EHUs. The number of EHUs remains the same at 4 units. The square faotage allocated is being reduced by 39 sq. ft. The sizes range from 220 sq, ft. to 350 sq. ft. Parking: , The proposal reduces the demand far parking by 2 parking spaces (from 22 to 20 spaces). The applicant still proposes 22 spaces on- " site. TNe proposed changes to the buiiding do nat result in an amended footprint or modifications to the site plan. The previpusly approved site plan and canditians of approval are proposed #o be carried forward. Tne building elevations are modifiied by the addition of several dormers on the sc~uth and north elevations of the buifciing and the encfiosure of areas that were previc~usly ~balconies. The DRB wiN be required #o review these changes to the building. Overa11 the changes are minor in terms of bulk and mass or irnpacts on adjacent properties. The proposed building continues to meet the definition of a Itsdge with 64% of the GRFA devoted to accammodation units and 36°lo devoted to dwetl'sng units {includes l:ock-o#f}. Reductions o# the proposed floor plans are attached. In 1998 #he applicant received approval to eliminate one dweliing unit and one accommodatinn unit and make ather interior and exterior changes ta the building. See the attached spreadsheets far additional history on approvals. ~ 11, STAFF RECC}MMENDATlUN The Gommun'sty Development Department recammends approval of the propased amendments subject to the following finding; That the prvpased major amendment to Special aevetopment District #30 (Vail Athletic Club) comp/ies with fhe nine design criteria outlin2d in Section 12-9A-8 of the Town - Code. Additionaliy, the appticant has demansfrated tv the satisfactian of the Commission that any adverse effects of the requested deviation from the deve/apment standards of tne undertying zoning are outweighed by the public benefits provided. The recammendatian of approval is alsa subject to the following canditions: 1. That the previous site pian, landscape, and of#-site improvement approvals continue to apply. 2. That the Design Review Board review and apprave the praposed changes to the buiiding. 3, 7hat the applieant deed restrict the 4, Type IIl, Empioyee Housing Units in aCCOrdance with the Town Code prior to obtaining a temporary or final certificate of occupar?cy. 4.

AMENbMENT PROCEDURE The prapased changes described in Section t are considered to be Major Amendments to the 1993 approved SDD and subsequent amendmen#s. As stated in the Zaning Gode Section 12- 9A-2, a major amendment is ciefined as failaws: "Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential filaor area; change the number af dweliing or accammodatipn units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved Speciai Develflpment District. . Since the appl'rcant's proposed amendments to the SDC} invofve changes to gross residential floor area, as well as density (number af units), the proposal is required to follow the Majar SDD Amendment pracedure. The PEC shall provide a recammendation to the Town Council ~ regarding the proposal. The town Council rnay approve the praposal via two readings-of an F:\EVERYONE\PEC\tNEMOS\99\VAC2: DQC 3 ~ oCdinance. ~ IV. SPECIAL DEVEL{?PMENT D15TRICT GRIYERtA _ As provided for in Section 12-9A-8 of the Tawn Gode, there are nine SDD review criteria which are to be used to evaluate the merits of a proposed Major 5DD Amendment. lt shoutd be nated that the staf# analysis ot the project's campliance with the SDD review criteria has only focused on the proposed amendments to the SDfl, and not on the balance ot the 1993 ot -1996 approvais. The review criteria, and the staff's analysis af the proposal's compliance with . . the review criteria> are as follows A. t?esign compatibility and senstitivity to the immediate environment, neyghbarhood and adjacent properties retative to architectural design, scaiea butk, buildirtg height, buffer zones,'identity, character, visual integri#y and arienta#ian. Minirnal architectural changes are proposed to the design of the building. The overall scale, and mass and buik of the proposed struc#ure will generally rernain as it was approved in 1993 and subsequently amended. The primary roof forms (and building height) will also remain as approved in 1993, with the acldition ot several dormers. Staff does nat believe these changes wiH significantly af#ect the bulk and scale o# the bui[ding. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a cQmpatible, efficient and workable relatic?nship with surrounding uses and activity. ~ The general uses within the redevelaped Vail Athfetic Glub (VAC) are not proposed to change. The building continues to meet the definition of a lodge as more than 50% of the GRFA is devoted to accommodation units. 7he floor area additions are re(atively minor with respect to the overall scape of the project with an increase ot approximately 2.62°Io from the 1998 approval or 4.91 °lo over the 1993 approval. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlineci in Title 12, Chapter 1fl. Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the SDD are in compliance with this criteria. The Town's zoning requiremen# is for a total ofi 20 parking spaces to be provided on the site, which is based on the reduction in the number of accommodation units and the addition of a new dwelling unit. This proposal woufd reduce the number of required parking spaces from 22 to 20, however, the applicant is propasing ta accommodate 22 parking spaces on-s+te. D. Conformity with appticabie etements of the Vail Comprehensive P1an, Town policies and tJrban Design Pians. VAIL LAN[3 USE PLAN The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are fia be used as the Town'spolicy guidelines during the review process for rrew or amended development proposals. The ~ staff considered the foifowing Land Use Plan Goals/Policies during the initial review of the F:\EVERYON E\P EC\MEM05\991VAC2, DQC 4 1993 SDD establishment for the Vail Athletic Club, and further, sta#f believes that these _ ~ goals and policies continue ta be applicable with regard ta the current Major 5C3D Amendment proposal: 1.1 Vail shouid cantinue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a ' ~ balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitar' and the permanent resident. 1.,3 The quality of deye4opment should be maintained and upgraded whenever posslble. 3~3 Hateis are imporCant to the continued success of the ToWn of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums shou(d be discouraged. 4.2 Increased density in the core areas is acceptable so lorrg as the existing character of eaeh area is preserved ihraugh implernentatian of the Urban C3esign {;uide Plan and the Vaii Viftiage Master Pfan. 4.3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and sh4uld be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, srnail town feeling, mauntains, natural setting, intimate size, casmopoiitan fee(ing, environrnental quality.} Staff believes that the proposed Major SdD Amendment appiication meets the gaals and po4icies af the Land Use P1an as cieseribed above. ~ VAlL VILLAGE MA5TER PLAN The stafif believes that the 1993 approval for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletie Club carriedout many of the goals and objectives containedin theVail Village Master Plan. Additionally, the staf# believes that the current Major SDD Amendment proposal also fiurthers the failowing Master Plan's gaals and abjectives: - Goa{ #1 -Encaurage high quaiity redevelapment while preserving the unique architectural sca4e of the Village in arder to sustain its sense of community and itientity. . C7b{ective 1.2 -Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residerttlal artd commercial #acilities. Goal #2 - To foster astrong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability far the Viilage and for the cammunity as a whole. Obiective 2.3 - lncrease the number of residential units available for shart term overnight accommodations. Pollcv 2.3.1 - The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Residential units that are develnped above existing density Ievels are required to be designed or managed in_a rnanner that makes them available for short term overnight rental. ~ Obiective 2.5 - Encourage the continUed upgrading, renovation and maintenance F:\EVERYONE\PEGIMENI0S\99\VAC2. DOC 5 of existing [adgir?g and commerciaf faei4ities to better serve the needs of our ~ guests. Goal #5 - Increase and improve the capacity, effic+ency, and aesthetics of the transportation and circulatian system thraughout the Village. Pallcy 5.1.5 - Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground ar visually concealed parking. The staff be4ieves #hat the proposed Major 5DD Amendment application meets the Vaif _ Village Master Pian goaRs, obyective5, and policies as described above. . E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or gealogic hazards fhat affect the property on which the speciai deveiapment distric# is proposed. AI#hough this praject is located adjacent to Gore Creek, no portion of the proposal encroaches into the fifty faot stream setback, nor in#o the 100-year floodplain. There are no other natural andior geoiogic hazards that affect the property. F. Site plan, building design and loca#ian and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sen,sitive to na#urai features, uegetation and overa(1 aesthetic quality of the commur?ity. Although this criteria was discussed extensively during the 1993 review, staff believes that the praposed Major SDD Amendment will have no negative impacts on this criteria. G. A circulation system designed for bath vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and ~ off-site trafific circulation. The staf# be{'?eves that the proposed Major SDD Amendment wilf have no impacts on this criteria. H. Functionai and aesthe#ic landscaping and oper~ space in c~rder ta ap#imsze and ~ preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. Again; the staff believes that the praposed Major SDD Rmendment wif1have no impacts on tnis criteria. 1.

PROJECT C}VERVIEW . The appiicanf is requesting a review of the proposed establishment of a Special Development District (SDD) for the redeveloprneni of the Vail Athietic Club iacated at 352 East Meadow Drive. The Vail Athletic Club is located on the southwest corner a# VMI Valtey t?rive and Eas# Meadow Drive ai the botiom of Blue Cow Chute. The property is currentiy zoned Public Accommodation and is considered to be nanconforming with regard #o develapmen# standards. The applicant has indicated that the pearpose of requesttng a SDD far this praperty is to improve the appearance of the building and site as vue1i as make it a more viable hotel. The psoposal inctudes the deietion of six dwel{ing units, the atldition of twenty-four ~ 1 accommad2::on unrts, a decrease to the Club Area, a decrease in total restauranf area, madificatrons to the eleuations; a decrease in common area and the adds`tian af nine . ur?derground parking spaces. The four existing employee units wi11 remain on-site and will be permanentiy deeci restricted. The dev3ations from the Pubiic Accommodatian deveiopment standards inciude; 1. Densi , l`he propased density for the project wilf be 30.33 dweliing units (dU), which wi[I include 52 AUs, 3 DUs and 4 empiayee housing urtits. The existing density for the praject is 24.33 DU and the a!{owed density for the project 17.5 dus. The #otal density . increase is B DUs over the existing develapment and 12.83 QUs over the allawab}e . density. . 2. GRFA. Tt~e applicant is proposing a fotaf of 32,282 square feet o# GRFA. in addition to this, there is an csverage on common area of 8,456 square feet. When thrs is added to GRFA, the total GRFA #or the project wilE be 4{}i738 square feet. The aflowed GRFAtCommon Area far the pto}ecf is 32,924 sgunre teet. Currently, there is 33,902 square feet of GR-FA in the project which includes overages on comman area. This resuits in a total increase of GRFA/Cornmon Area ofi 6,836 square feet above the existing deveiopment and 7,814 square feet over the aflowable GRFA/Gomrnon Atea. 3, Common Area. The apPiicant is prapasing ta reduce cammon area, however, #he existing project is in excess of the alfowed cammon area by 13,541 square feet which is added to #he GRFA. The proposal wnutci exceed the allovvable common area by 8,458 square feet. ~ 4. Nei ht. The existing building is 67 feet irt height on the sotsth elevation and 59 feet on the north elevation. The allowab{e heigh# is 45 #ee#. The applicant does not propose to increase the ridge height, huwever, dormers will be added to both the rtorth and south of the building where the ridge heighis exceed the 45 faot heigh# alfowance. 5, Si#e Coveraae. Gurrentfy, the site coverage for the prnject is 20,796 square feet. The aPplication wili increase this to 21,350 square fee#. Which inciudes the underground. . parking and service areas. The a!lawed site coverage for the sife is 16,767 square feet. fi, , Accessorv Use, The accessory use allowance is 10% of existin G'RFA. If built as proposed, this praject wou(d have an accessory use a(lowance of 3,228 square feet. As proposed, the aliowable accessory use will be 3,426 square feet. 7his is a reduction from the existirig 4,066 square feet. Nawever, there is stifl an overage of 158 sguare feet. . 7. Setbacks. The appiicant proposes ta add building along the north side of #he project. This will be in the area of ttre entry and the restaurant. The additian af the entry will result in a i#oof setback ftom the property Iine. The existing parking structure has a o foot setback. tJn the south side of the project, the a¢pl?cant is praposing an at grade terrace which vsrili have a minirnum setback o# 2 feef. The requireti setback in this area would be 10 feet. tn addition, other areas of the building which are currently in #he ~ ~ setbacks wi11 tae infiiled. This inctudes an area on the narthwest comer as we!l as ~ decics along the rear af the btsilding. The dormers wilt atso be increasing the amount o# bui4ding in the setbaclcs. The applicant has praposed to do the fo!(owing with the appl'rcation:* 1 a Decrease the amaunt of GRFA allocated towards dweiiing units and increase the amount af GRFA for accommodafion unrts. 2.

BACKGRt?llND A. Project History r The Vail Ath(etic G4ub was originatiy develaped in 1977 and inctutfed a mixed use buildirtg. wrth condaminiurcas and accammodation units as well as the health cSub facitity and offiices. Twenty on-site parking spaces were provided far the project and a variance was received for ~ the remaining required spaces. Per the fi1e rec4rds, it appears that the variarice was granted in order to facilitate the constTUCtion of hotel r4oms which were needed in #he community at the time. (n 1977, it was felt that it wouid be reasanable to gran# a parkirtg variance for the sixteen parking spaces far this property due to the proximity Q# the Town parking structure. Parking vartances for four additional spaces have been granted for the project,sirrce that time. !n addition, while varia.nces were not gcanted tor height ar densjty, the praject was allowed to deviate from th'ese standards. Setbaclc varlances were granted in 1977 for the development . of #he project. The praperty has been the subject of numerous redevelcrpments over a number af years and subseguent parking variances. , At the time of the project approvai in 1977, it was discussed fhat passibly a portian of the property which the Vail Athletic C1ub had acguired wouid not be counted towards their developable site area. Research has been conducted regarding this issue to deiermine whether or not tha# was actuatiy done. The staff has found no defin'rtive information vuhich would indsca#e that this was camp}eted. B. Previacts PEC reviews On June 28, 1993, a joint worksessian was heid wKih the Planning and Enviranrnenta! .

The staff finds that #he application meets the purpose of the Specia( Development District, Specifica!!y, staff finds tha# this application furthers the overall goais of the community as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan. The project propases #a imprQVe the design character, #unction and qualify of the develapment and provide additional shart-terrn unfts within the Viffage which is a specific goal of.many efemen#s of the Gamprehensive Plan. 7he sfaff as well as the PEC have identified in past reviews that this site is appropriate for increased densities as we11 as a variety of uses due to the location and prox'tmity to the Vitlage core area.

Please see Seciion VI for furt er d~ta'rls on these s, . ~ . 7 V. 5PECIAL rcVELOPMENT C?1STRICT CR!'tEFtiA . . . ~ The follvwing riine criteria should be used ta review the project. A. Deslgn campatibiirty and sensitivity to the immediate environment, . neighboncood and adjac.ent properties reia#ive to architecturat design, scaie, bu1k, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity, and atientation. Massing _ The staff feeEs that #his criterian is especiafi4y important to the review of this - project. Whi(e #his applicatinn does not propose to incsease the maxisnum ridge height, the proposal includes adding dormers to the existing roof. The amount of building area is increased with buifding infiils and the introduc#ion of a series of dormers. t?n the south side, roaf cut outs are being used for the ihree central tap units. t?therwise, dormers have been added to both sides of the raof form in order to utifize exisfing "dead" space. The applicant has alsa modified the roof form on bofh the east and west elevations of the buiiding. The east elevatian terraces back from Vaii VaIley . Drive and additional windaws have been added to this elevatian. Terracing Y?as afso been accomplished on the west eievatian adjacent to the Mountain Haus. The low eave line wfiich is main#ained w`sth th"rs praposai and the tandscaping of the site bring the scaie of the building down to a pecfestrian level. The staff ~ #esls that maintaining the pedestrian character of this area is important as 'rfi is , seen as a major carridor to Ga{den #'eak and the Village from the parking sfructure and is also used hy pedestrians to access Ford Park. The Vaii Valfage Master Plan calls #or this building ta have a maximum o# faur stories. From the onginal app(ication, the app(icant has iowered the building ta the existing ridge fine in atl locations and decreased the scale af the dormers in order to deccease the shadow on Easf Meadow Drive. SunlShade The proposed building increases the amount a# shade on East Meadow Drive by 5 fee# 6 inches in the area af the entry, 24 feet 6 inches on the west wing , and 5 feet on the east wing on December 21st (See attached sunJshade analysis). 7he impacts on shade on September 21st witl be an increase of 1 foot 6 inChes in the Center of the buiiding, 11 feet nn the west wing and 2 feet 5 inches on the east wing. The amount of shade is determined by both the angle of the sun and the height o# the ridge or eave iine. While the [}ecember 21 s# . ' c3ate creates the most impact, the September 21 st date is what is specifiied in the code for sun/shade analysis in the CCi zone district. Although this praperty . is not in CCl, the shade smpact is irnportant to address for this pedestrian area. The greatest impact in shade is seen on the west wing of the buiiding. Qn ~ December 21st, the proposed building rrrili cast shadnw onto the sidewalk. t?n September 21 st, the increase 'sn shade in this area wi!l be 11 feet and does t10t Cc1St Shc1dOW OtttO tFlB StdeW31k. It ShOLt{d be t1t3ted that the eX1S#tt1g _ - building casts shadaw beyond the sidewalk into the street in the center of the building and east wing. !n the center and east wing, the addstional shade cast wift be 5 feet 6 inches and 8 feet accordingty as a resui# of the dormers. 7"he aPPlican# proposes to heat the paver sidewalk which will maCce this area sa#er for the pedestrian. The staff feels tha# the increases in shade have been minimized to a pain# ihat is aCCeptabfe. ' Entrv On the north side of the buiiding, the appiicant propases to add a two and a ha!# story entry area to the building. 7he entry has been lowered by two ftoors #rom the original proposal. The design of the en#ry minimizes the massing impacts af the eiement and daes not add any more shade to the street. ' Bui4dinc~Footcxint w The applicant proposes ta increase #he building focatprint by 450 square feet #o aliow for the res#aurant addition and entry. Staf# daes not have a probiem with the restaurant addi#ian as no landscaping is removed. The entry wilf remove two to four trees which the applicant has agreed #o relocate or replace. Streetscape The applicant has propased to instali required streetscape impcovements discussed in section V1!l of this rnemo. This includes a heated paver walk alang Vait YaIley Drive as well as a heated paver walk along the south side of East Meadow Drive. The driveway to fhe garage wiil alsa be hea#ed. In general, the project is sensitive to adjacent properties through the use of aapropriafe architectural design and massing as weil as tandscaping, B. Usess activity and densi#y which provide a compatible, efficierit and workabie refa#ionship with "surrounding uses and activ's#y. , Clensi The appCican# proposes to increase the totai density of the praject by six dwelling uni#s. 7his inc(udes the remaval of six dweiling uni#s as well as the addition of tnrenty-faur accommodatian units. Of the nine dweliing uni#s cn-site, six are currentiy res#ricted per the ,Condominium.Conversion requirements. "Chere are two existng units which are free market and the applicant wishes to retain one additionaE unrestricted unit. The s#aff feels that because this unit is afready restricted that it should remain available for short-term rental according to Section 17.26 of the . Subdivision Regulations, Condominium Conversian, or an emplayee housing unit should be pravided in place of the restncted unit as was aliowed with the Vail Viilage lnn Goodes space. The staf# would prefer to see an additianal ~ 9 employee hausing unit versus the restricted DU provicied as we beiieve the . 40 employee hausing unit also provides an tmporttant comrnunity benefiit. The staff feels that the appEicant's desire to increase the short terrn hote# units . is very pasitive. The GRFA attributable #o tiwelling units has been decreaseti by 1,870 square feet. 43,270 square feet of £RFA will be addeci #o increase the amount af floor area #or accommodation units. The additional GRFA has . been gained by using existing dead space within #he building, using comrnon area more efficiently, and the addifion of darmers and infiCiing pottions of decks on the south side: An additianai 6,201 square feet of tota1 buitding area'will be . added with this prapasa(. In order fio insure that the AU's retnatn as short-, , . term rentaIs, the staff requests tha# the owner agree to not subtiivide the units in the future per the Cottdominium Cortvers'ron section of the Subdivision Regulatians. EmDlovee Mousinq Currentfy, four employee housing units are required on-si#e per ttie 1977 parking variance. The applicant proposes that ihese units rema'tn on-site and has agreed io restrict these units on a permanent basis. aue fio the requested irtcreases in density, the appiican# has indicated that there may be an increase - of two to four empiayees on #he site. Ufilizing the Employee Housing Guide(ines, based on the net increase in ~ cievelopment over the existing buiiding, two to faur additional empioyees woulci be generated by the expansion. The sta#f would require that ane two-beticoom or two one-bedrflom units be provided to address #he increase. The surnrnary is as folEows: a) BarfRestauran# = 321sq. ft. (Q6.5f1,000 sq. ft.) = 2.08 emplayees {decrease} b3 RetaiElService Commercial = 310 sq. ft, (@6.5l1,000 sq: ft,) = 2,015 employees (decrease) c) Dweiiing Units = 6 units (@.4iroom) = 2.4 ernployees (decrease) d) Accammadation Units = 24 uni#s (0.75iroom) = 18 employee (increase) e) Total - 114 ar 12 emptoyees . - i2 empfoyees x.15 housing mu}#ipiier = 1.8 or 2 employees -12 empioyees x.30 housing multipiier = 3.6 or 4 employees •Assurnina two employees per betiroom, fhe praposed one two-bedroom unit would be needed per the employee generation formuia. The staff has used the . higher multiplier due to the overages in density. The Employee Hvusing Repart does not differen#iate between the provision af on-site or off-si#e housing. As ~ . 10 - : stated above, tfite staff would Iike #o see one more empiayee unit provided in order to lift the use restrictian an the proposeci dweliing unit. ~ C. Compliance with parking and laading requirements as outtined in Chapter ' 18.52. r arkinq Parking has been a long.standing issue on this site. In researching the history . of this project, the staff found tha# #here were a number of variances g.ranted ta this project. !n December of 1977, fwen#y underground parking spaceswore apProved for this site. At that time, it was recflgnized tnat surface parkr`ng was not apprapriate far this site and that these spaces would be #he maximurn , number that couid be piaced on the site. Dif#erent arrangements have been made aver the years far parking on Town o# Vail lancf as weU as ather properties for tttis groject ta address the defici#. Variances have been granted for a to#ai af twenty spaces over #he tife of the project. Using today's standards, #here is an existing deficit of 56.4 parking spaces for #he project: • There wouid be a nine space parking requirement increase as a result of this expansion. This xs based on the difference between the required parking fior the proposed praject and the existing development. The apPlicant is propasing an additionai nine on-site parking spaces which would bring the total on-site spaces to ir+venty-nine. Ali of the parking spaces wouid be vaiet. ' Gurrently, the applicant vaiet parks eighteen parking spaces in the existing struciure, The paric9ng structure wiil be expanded which will accflmmodate the nine additional spaces. Due to the type o# ase of this facility, vaiet parking is appropriate and has been approved fnr other projects of this nature. With the fulf-t'rme concierge and vaiet, this type of park9ng sotution is feasible. In add1ttOCi, after reviewing the functian of the existtng #aciiitY, it aPPears that the propased plan is reasonable and, the additionai nine parking spaces ean be accommodated. The two existing exterior spaces wiil remain adjacent to the . entrance to the parkirig structure on the west side. ` No additional square faatage has been added to the heaith club and there#ore ttie staf# does no# feei tha# it is appropriate to assess a parking r.equirement #or this facility. Parking for a health club is determined by the PEC. There is na parking s#andard for this #ype of use. No parking requirement has been assessed Pn the past and the staff is not assessing any additional parking nor do we recommend to the PEC that a parking requirement be set as no club square #ootage is being praposed. '11 Loa~lmandlJefiverv The applicant is providing a loading facili#y with a pull-out from Fasi Meadow. Drive. This witl accommoda#e the shart-term parking needs of the project. Loading and Delivery wifi aiso be accommndated in this pull-off area. The _ apPlicant wiil no Ionger be aIlowed to unload deiiveries along Vail Valley Drive adjacent to #he restauranf entrance. This is a very unsafe practice which the Town does not encourage and wiii not ailow to continue. !n addit'ton, the applicant proposes to retnove the existirtg trash faciiity on the west side of the projeet. T'his enclosure encroaches both onto 7'own of Vai3 land as we11 as Mountain Haus property. The applicant would prapase ta ' include #he trash faciiity inside #he building in this same areae D.

This is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan's objective to increase the hofel bed base. Please see Sectians VI, VII ~ and Vill that identify the applicable goals and objectives of the plans. E. 1dentifiication arttt mitigafion of rtatutal andJor geolagic hazarcts #hat affect the property on which the speciat develapmertt dis#rict is proposed. This site is f4caied adjacent to Gore Creek. No portion of this proposal encroaches into the 50 foot stream setback ar the one hundred year flooc3plain. F: Site plan, buil.ding design and locatian and apen space provisions designed ta produce a.functional deveiopmen# responsive and sensitive ta natural features, vegetation and overali ses#hetic quality of the community. Builc3ing Desian While.the changes ta the site plan through this proposaf are tirnited, the buildirtg design changes significan#ly. !n respect to the south or Gnre Creek side of the building, the applicant is proposing to change the character crfi the elevation wi#h the. enclosure and redesign of balconies and to ehange the window c3esign. . Dorrners will be added to #he east and west wings and decks w'tll cut 'rnta the roof form in the cenfer area. The appiicant has adjusted the south elevation ta brea}t up the facade per PEC and s#aff comments. lnitially the appiicarrt proposed to increase the height ot the westem section af the building. ~ 12 Currently, the appls`cant propases to mas`ntain a!l of the existing ridge iines and ~ nnt increase the cidge in any area of the buiiding. The staff feels that this js very positiue. (n addition, the a,ppficartt is propostng to add a terrace a# the lower ievel on the sOt1'th Sttjf.' of tfl@ pft7jG'Ct. ThIS WIIl et1Cf08Ch II1tZ~ the 20 ft70t Setb3Gk atld KeStilt in a 2 foot setback a the tightest point from the south property (ine. Un the north el.evation, the apPiicant propa$es #o in#i(I an area on the east wing -adjacent ta the restaurant and add an entry. in additioh; balconies wiil be ; - ' added to units an the east wing. Dormers wi11 be adrfed in all three areas on this elevation. This will allow for the additional accammadatian units on the upPer ievef. These additions wiil cast additional shade anta Esst Meadow C3riue. Landsca.p'sng has been proposed along the retaining wail adjacent to the ' sidewalk an the north side af the builtiing. This wiil increase the lancfscape buffer between the building and the public acea The staff €eeEs that this . additionai (andscaping is very important to the psoject as it wili screen the buitding and mitigate both the existing and proposed impacts of the builciing. Buildina's im„pact pn dpen s ace and veaet;atipn The application impac#s the existing landscaping on the north side of the buiiding. Approximately two ta four farge evergreen trees will be lost as a result o# th9s proposa{. The applicant is propQSing to iandscape alang the new ~ sfone retaining wa91 adjacent to the west wing in arder to better screen the building in areas where landscaping c3oes nof currently exist. The staff feels that while it is unfortuna#e that these evergreen trees will passibfy be lost, the addition of 1andscaping which includes evergreen and aspen trees along the sidewalk, wili mitigate the impact of the loss af these two to faur trees. The appiicant wiil attempt to save these trees. Nowevet, in the event that they cannot be saved as aresuft af this constructian, the applicant does agree to replace the trees. The agpficant has alsa added a 3 toot pfanting step to the . east of the existng at- grade parkirrg on the west end of the building in order to . help screen the parking. Ths step wi{I also reduce the height o# the wafl in this area. . C7n the sou#h side of the building, the applicant wi!l be removing arti existing deck which is currently located on Town of Vai1 Iand. The appiicant psoposes to add addi#ional iandscaping in #his area which includes shrubs and aspen trees. This will buffer the building frorn the public area. Due to the amount af iand and iandscaping between the strearnwatk and the building, adequate bu#ter areas are pravided. The proposed iandscaping adjacent to the bui[ding will be possfive and witl not hinder the useof tht5 apen space area on the sauth side of the building. The applicant has also agreed ta provide a maintenance agreement to the Town far this open space. - ~ 13 G. A cirt;ulation system designed for bath vehicles and pedestrians ~ $ddressing on and off-site traf#ic circutafion. . The applicant proposes to add nine underground parking spaces. By adding arldifional on-site parking, the vehlcufar traffic an East Meadow l7rive witl be _ increased. While it is an objective of the Streetscape Ptan #o make this area more pedestrianized, it is also an abjective of the i/ail Village Master Plan to have properties in this area provide on-si#e parking. The staff feels that the pravision af on-site parking to meet the additionai requirement is impartant given the constraints on parking our community must deal with. . T"he applicant does prapose ta mstall an entry and pu(1-off irr arder to facilitate the drop-off of guests and Ioading and de(ivery. 7`he installation of a drop-o#f area wiil be a benefi to the area as currentfy there is no off-street drop-off area fior this building and the exis#ing situa#ion creates congestion along East Meadow Drive as guests and truclcs park in the bus lane on Meadow C7rive. ?'he Tawn Engineer has signed off on this soiution. WI#h thlS 3ppIICaf10C1, the staff recognizes that it wauld be diificulfi to comptetely restrict East Meadow Drive from vehicular traffic, but would s#rive to lirnit the number of vehicles which must access East Meadow Drive. We also believe that by provid:ng sa#e wei1 designed sidewaiks, pedestrian circulafion can aSso be accommadated. The applicant's proposal improrres both pedestrian and . vehicular cireufiation in an area tha# currently must pravide for faoth uses. ~ H. Functionat and aesthefrc landscaping and open space in order to optimize . and preserve natctral features, recreation, views and functions. Due to the insta!(atian of the puli-offi and entry and relocation of the retaining wall in this area, two to fQUr evergreen trees couid possibly be iost`. The applicant has agreed ta attempt to save these trees, however, it would appear that this may not be possibie. The aPpiicant does agree to replace these trees in additian ta increasing the Iandscaping along East Meadow iJrive between the building and the raadway adjacent to the ssdewalk. 7'rees in the 30 foot range will be required ta replace the trees ihat may nat be able to be reiocated. Ttae now landscaping in front ot the buildirtg incluttes evergreens tha# range in size from 10 to 15 feet and aspens having a msnimum oi a 3 inch caliper. To the east af the main entry to the building, the app{icant is proposing to redesign the sidewalk as weil as the landscape area. This witl mvaive cutting back the existing utiiity grate and bringing the fandscape down to the same grade as the sidewalk. This is accomplished by moving the sidewalk artd curbiine to the sauth from the existing iocation. E.andscaping will also be added on the south elevation in the area where the existing deck is be'rng remaved. Aspen trees and shrubs witl be added to this area and the grades will be redone to rnatch the existing topogra,phic corrditions. - ~ 14 - - The lartdscaPing on-site witt be increased as a result of the remaval of an ~ above grade deck. With thi$ app[icatian, the projeet will be in compliance with the landscaping requirement #ar the site. - 1.

The applican# has not praposed that the canstruction of this project be ph'ased. VI. VAIL LAND USE PLAN The goals contained in the VaiI Land Use Plan are to be used as adopted polFCy guidelines in the review pcocess for new development proposals. The Land Use Plans GoaEsJPalicies applicable ta the Vai1 Aihietic Club redevelopment are as follows 1.1 Vail shoufd continue ta graw in a cantro!!ed environment, maintaining a balance be#ween residential, commercial and recrea#ianal uses ta senre both the visitor and the permanent resit3ent. 1.2 The quality of the environmen# including a6r, water and other naturai resaurces should be pro#ected as the Town grows. 1.,3 The quality of deveiopment shauld be maintained and upgraded ~ whenever possible. 3.2 The Vilfage and Lionsheari areas are the best Eacatian for hoteis to serve the future naeds of the destination skiers. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success af the Tawn o# Vail, therefore conversion to conr3orniniums should be discouraged. .4.„2 lncreased density in the core areas is acceptabie so Ebng as the existing character of each area is presenred through impiementation of the Urban Design Guide Pian and the Vail Viifage Master Pfan, 4.3 The ambiance of the Village is impartant to the iden#i#y of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, aipine charac#er, small town feeiing, mountains, naturaf setting, intimate size, cosmopoiitan fieeling, environmental quaiity.) „5. 3 Atfardable empfayee hausing sheuld be made available through priva#e effor#s, assis#ed by limi#ed incen#ives, pravided by the Town af Vail, with aPpropriate restrictions. ~ 15 5.5. The existing employee housing base sh4uld be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs shouid be. ' ~ accammodated a# varied sites throughout the camrnunity. The application meets the goals and poiicies in the Land Use P1an. The addi#`ron of short-term- hotel rooms is a very positive addition to this area. ltem 4.2 specifies that increased densities in the core are acceptable if the character of the area is preserved. `fhe applicant proposes to change the character of the buitding by changing the materials and design detar`ls of the builcting. Whife the proposal increases the size of the building, the staff believes that the - appticant has attempted to utilize ttte unused interior spaces of the bu9lding to minimize. the - expansion on the exteriar a# the buiiding. The scale and rissign of the buitding wr#h the, addition of new materials and Eartdscaping maintain the alpine character of #'ie developrnes?t. . iltl. VAIL VfLLACE MASTER PLAN .

Vltt. STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN . The Streetscape Master Plan paints out that traffic on Vail Vaitey t7rive is very heavy , throughou# most of the year. It is especially heavy in the maming and late aftemoons during the sici season, and evenings and weekends during the summer rnonths. Pedestrian traffic has increased because of the expansion o# the i/illage Parking Structure and the creatioR of a new easterrr exit portal fram this facility at Vai1 Vailey Drive. Speci#ic improvemen#s for Vai! Valfey Qrive in the area of the llail Athietic Glub include the addition of art $ to 10 faot wide heated concrete unit paver walk on ihe west side of 1TaiI Va1ley Orive extending over the ~ ' 17 ~ bridge at Gore Cree!~ and a 6 foot wide cancrete unit paver walk vn the south side of East ~ Meadow Dr.ive. The applicarit has incfutfeci these impcavements in this appfication with the - excep#ion that onfy a 6 faot walk is beirrg proposed atong Vail Val(ey Drive due to site canstraints and 8 feet along Meadaw Drive. tX. STAFF RECOMMENDATiONS The sta#f recommends approval af the applicaflan. We find that the propQSal has devetoped inta one which is in compliartce with the objectives and purpose section af.the SDQ zone : district as we!l as #he.other Comprehensive fi'Ian elements as_described in the memo. The - aPProval includes the foliowing understandings: 1.
