PROS & CONS The proposal will enhance the Lionshead village economically by providing more units that will bring more people. The appearance of the village will be enhanced by the upgrading of the existing building and by the addition of the new building which meets current design guidelines. The redevelopment will act as a catalyst for other property owners in the village to upgrade their properties. On the other hand, the appearance of the existing building is not being improved significantly. The new addition could affect adjacent properties by impacting their views and sunlight. And the proposal does not include any accommodation units, although the condominiums are often rented out. .

The proposal includes the following new uses which require approval of a conditional use permit: Use Floor per Plans Zoning Fier Description Employee housing units (EHU) 1,2,3 basement, basement, first Conference facilities 3 first Multi - family dwelling units 3 first 4 Height 71', max 32.5' 36' to 74' Setbacks; 10' on all sides min 10', except for decks, etc Site Coverage: 70% or 36,235 sq. ft. 41 % or 20,933 sq. ft. Landscaping: 20% or 10,367 sq. ft. 22% or 11,133 sq. ft. including Tract A to east The figures identified in the Housing Report are based on surveys of commercial -use employment needs of the Town of Vail and other mountain resort communities. For comparison purposes, Telluride, Aspen and Whistler B.C. all have employment generation ordinances requiring developers to provide affordable housing for a percentage of the new employees resulting from commercial development. New employees are defined as the incremental increase in employment needs resulting from commercial redevelopment. Each of the communities assesses a different percentage of affordable housing a developer must provide for the new employees. For example, Telluride requires developers to provide housing for 40% (0.40) of the new employees, Aspen requires that 0% (0.60) of the new employees are provided housing and Whistler requires that 100% (1.00) of the new employees be provided housing by the developer. In comparison, Vail has conservatively determined that developers shall provide housing for 15°x® (0.15) or 30% (0.30) of the new employees resulting from commercial development. When a project is proposed to exceed the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 30% (0.30) figure is used in the calculation. If a project is proposed at, or below, the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 15% (0.15) figure is used. The Antlers development proposal exceeds the density permitted by the underlying zone district, and therefore, the 30% figure shall be used. EMPLOYEE I GENERATION ANALYSIS The staff analysis below indicates a recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing needs of the Antlers Condominiums. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows Staff Recommended Raggkgalotrlaiorta The staff believes that the Antlers Condominiums will create a need for 9.6 (10) additional employees. Of the additional employees, at least 2.8 (3) employees (30%) will need to be provided deed - restricted housing by the developers. a) Multi- Family Dwelling Units =24 units (.4 /unit) = 9.60 employees Total = 9.60 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) = 2.88 new Icy s Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two employees per bedroom. For example, a two - bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible of accommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type III employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. The applicant has proposed to provide a minimum of seven new employee housing units. These units are in addition to the two existing units. The units Mould be deed- restricted as Type III EHU's. 6 Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. 3.

That the ro ose use will comply with each of the applicable provisions oft is Title. ill. VARIANCE CRITERIA 1 1 Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors, 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a reduction in the required number of parking spaces. According the Zoning regulations, the applicant is required to provide 56 new parking spaces. The new spaces are for the 24 new condominiums and the employee housing units. The applicant has proposed to provide 25 spaces. The applicant believes that 25 new spaces in addition to the 89 existing spaces will meet the needs of the entire project. Staff believes that given the proximity of the Antlers Condominiums to the ski yard, the retail shops and restaurants in Lionshea, the easy access to the town bus system and the availability of the regional airport in Eagle, the 114 structured parking spaces will meet the needs and intent of the parking requirement. Additionally, given the existing nature of the building and the development on the site, staff believes the applicant is severely limited in terms of providing all the parking on the site unless a demo /rebuild were proposed. 2. The e ree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation an enforcement f a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Staff has reviewed the plans to determine if an alternate parking structure configuration could be proposed. used upon our review, staff believes that the applicant has maximized the parking structure to the extent possible. The structure has been designed to meet the minimum requirements necessary to insure adequate traffic flow and ease of vehicle operation. Staff believes that the applicant is requesting the minimum amount of deviation necessary from the parking space requirements to achieve the intended objectives without resulting in a grant of special privilege. 3. The effect oft the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities public facilities and utilities and u licsft. June 22, 1999 The Lionshead Master Plan and enabling ordinances discuss the need to assess for the construction of specific reasonable off - site improvements related to specific developments. The Master Plan has identified close to $15 million in Frontage Road improvements from the main vail roundabout to Cascade Village. This is a distance of approximately 7300 ft. and will contain approximately ten major intersections. The Town has requested from the Colorado Department of Transportation, $5 million to provide these improvements. The Town of Vail is prepared to pay an additional $5 million for the project. The remaining $5 million is assumed to directly be attributable to the ten intersections equaling $500,000 per intersection. Those developments accessing the two intersections of Vest Lionshead Circle will be contributing to the improvements of these two intersections. In order to determine, at this time, the attributable number of trips to each intersection, the combined trips of both intersections were determined® The Traffic Study for the Lionshead Master Plan shows an increase of vehicle trips at both intersections of 127 trips in the a.m. peak period for a total of 640 trips and an increase of 195 trips in the p.m. peak period for a total of 795 trips. The Antlers® proposal expands an existing meeting room and adds 7 new EHU`s in the existing building. The change of uses within the existing building was not looked at as affecting the final numbers in the Master Plan. The addition to the project adds 24 new units. The Saturday peak hour factor, an average of both peak periods, is .738 trips /Dwelling Unit (DU). 24 DU`s times .738 = 17.7 new trips. This equals 17.7/195 x100 = 9.2.%of the total new peak hour trips at the two intersections. 9.1aof $1,000,000 is $91,000. This is the amount the Antlers owes for improvements to the frontage road. The Town has agreed to 800 of $91,000, which equals $72,800, Note: Detailed costs of the intersection are not known at this time. As more accurate costs become available, the contribution can be adjusted. If a TIF mechanism is established which off sets the developers contribution, then if this development contributes significantly to the TIF, those contributions can be credited toward the payment. If a special assessment district is established payments toward improvements can be credited toward the assessment. hua4t= TO. Planning and Environmental Commission FROM Community Development Department SUBJECT: A request for a Type 11 EMU, located at 265 Forest Road / Lot 21, Block 7, Vail Village 1" Filing Applicant. Mitchell Studio, LLC, represented by Steve Riden Planner: Allison Ochs I - in September and December of 1992, the Town Council passed Ordinances 9 and 27, Series of 1992, to create Chapter 12-13 (Employee Housing) which provides for the addition of Employee Housing Units (EHUs) as permitted or conditional uses within certain zone districts. The definition in that ordinance states'. The recommendation of approval is also subject to the following condition: 1 . The approval is subject to Design Review Board approval of the project. 9 � 1 Standard Allowed Proposed Total GRFA 5 995 sqo ft. 6,201 sq. ft. Primary Unit 3,212 sq. ft. 3,313 sq. ft. Secondary unit 2,283 sq. ft. 2,388 sq. ft. EHU Credit 500 sq. ft. 500 sq. ft. Parking Required 6 spaces 6 (EHU space is enclosed) Site Coverage 5,044 sq. ft. 5,044 sq. ft. To conform with regulations not pertaining to the EHU, the proposed residence will change slightly prior to Design Review Board approval. IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Factors: Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed 1 IBellationship and impact of the use on the dgyqLq���� Town. When the Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Affordable Housing study on November 20, 1990, it recognized a need to increase the supply of locals/employee housing units. The Town encourages EHUs as a means of providing quality living conditions and expanding the supply of employee housing for both year-round and seasonal local residents. The 0 proposed unit will have a positive impact on the Town's rental housing needs. 2. The effect of the use on liqht and air, distribution of Aa 0 U' tip transportation facilities, utilitiesscho d recreatio facilifie ,..ols, parks an and other Dublic facilities needs. "1 110 *ago== grMILIWIMM 17 1 1,111 1 � One additional vehicle is anticipated in association with this EHU. One enclosed parking space is proposed. Staff feels that this would be an insignificant impact on the above-referenced criteria. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to located, includinq the scale and bulk of Me proposed use in relation The scale and bulk of this proposed structure is very similar to those in existence in the surrounding neighborhood. Since the proposed employee housing unit will be located within the secondary residence, staff believes this EHU will not significantly impact the scale and bulk of this project in relation to surrounding uses. M M, I M a 13 The proposed Type 11 EHU includes one living room and one bedroom and therefore complies with this requirement. Since this unit is a one-bedroom Type 11 EHU, the first section of this regulation will apply. N h. Each Ty e Il EHU shall be required to b y no less than one � parking space for each bedroom located therein. However if a one 41 bedroom Type Il EI�IJ exceeds six undre600� square feet, it shall have two {2) parking spaces. All arkin spaces required by this Code shall be located on the same lot or site as the EHIJ. If no dwelling exists upon the pro arty which is proposed for a Type 11 EAU at the tirrte a building permit is issued, or if are existing dwelling is to be demolished and replaced by a new dwelling, not less than one 41) of the parking spaces required by this paragraph shall be enclosed. 300 square feet credit shall be allowed for the construction of one enclosed parking space for the Type ll EHQ. Since this project is a demolition /rebuild, the applicant must provide one enclosed parking space for the proposed EHU. One enclosed parking space is proposed. B . Eindingsa The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit for an Employee Housing Unit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the purposes of Section 12-13 (Employee Housing) 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. . That the proposed use would comply with each of the a provisions of Section 12 -13 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Vail Municipal Code.

Applicant. Town of Vail Planner- Allison Ochs Town Council, as applicable. The Town's annual community survey indicates long held U&MULIVIUM Aulaulk ZIWAU� Both customers and Town staff experience frustration with the application of unwritten standards and conflicts between existing codes. Standards for the development of property in the Town of Vail are codified in numerous sections of the Municipal Code, the Uniform Building Code, the Uniform Fire Code and other documents adopted by reference in the Municipal Code. Some of these standards are unclear and have required "interpretations" by Town of Vail staff over the 11 0 years. Our customers need to have a clear understanding of development and design standards in order to obtain approval in an efficient manner. 2. Consolidate, clarify, and define development standards so that both Town staff and customers have a clear understanding of what is required in order to build or redevelop in the Town of Vail. ® Educate the users of the process on the need to accept responsibility for providing complete and accurate submittals and required revisions in a timely manner in order to fully benefit from the Development Review Process improvements. The following are the GIVENS for the DRIP effort; 1. Existing Staff Interpretations and unwritten requirements will be eliminated or codified as part of this process. 2. Staff will seek, and is committed to, continuous improvement in inter - departmental coordination and cooperation to promote efficiencies in the Development Review Process. 3. Requirements and standards required for the general health and safety of the community will not be compromised through this effort. 4. The Town of Vail encourages and seeks public involvement in the clarification of development standards and improvement of the Development Review Process. 5. The Town Council will have the final decision making authority on adoption of any Municipal Code modifications required to implement DRIP. 1 A statement was added to p. - "To encourage redevelopment, there shall be some flexibility grant. d to existing nonconforming sites and structures. However, wherever possible, compliance with the Development Standards shall be achieved." 2. On pat, "Administration" a statement was added so that it now reads "Such administrative changes, made by the Town Manager, to these regulations shall be approved by the Town Council annually or as necessary. . "Water features" was removed from the definitions of "landscape area" and "landscaping" on p. 6 and r. . On p, 12 "Residential Access and parking Standards," the requirement that turn- around area be supplied when the driveway length is greater than ' has been removed. 5m On p. 1, a sentence has been added to "surfacing" stating "double track driveways are permitted." 6e The critical root zone requirement for shrubs and bushes has been removed on pe 16m 7n O n p. 19, a P. E. Stamp is required for bench of combination walls.

Design Guidelines It is the purpose of these guidelines to ensure that the visibility of a satellite dish antenna from any public right of way or adjacent properties be reduced to the highest degree possible. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate how the satellite dish antenna installations complies with these guidelines. The following guidelines shall be used by the Design review Board in evaluating applications for satellite dish antennas: a. All wiring and cable related to a satellite dish antenna shall be installed underground. b. The use of mesh satellite dish antennas is highly encouraged because of their ability to be more sensitively integrated o a site or structure. C. The use of appropriate colors shall be required to provide for a more sensitive installation when integrating a satellite dish antenna onto a site or structure. Color selection for a satellite dish antenna should be made with respect to specific characteristics on a site or structure. Unpainted surfaces and satellite dish antennas with reflective surfaces shall not be allowed. d. Locations of satellite dish antennas shall be made so as to ensure that the satellite dish antenna is screened from view from any public right of way or adjacent property to the highest degree passible. In addition to effective site planning, screening a satellite dish antenna may be accomplished through the use of landscaping materials, fencing; existing structures, sub -grade placements or other means that both screen the satellite dish antenna and do not appear unnatural on the site. e.
