Community Development Department • 2 Motion to adiourn ~~~~~ ~.~~ _ p~~ -'~ een 'Tabled edical Center Has B Eyergxeen ! Nl MEMORANDUM TO; Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: April 22, 2002 SUBJECT: A request for a variance from Section 12-6H-6, Vail Town Code, to allow for the addition of gross residential floor area within the required side setback located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Vail Rowhouse #2-C / dot ~, Block 5, Vail Village 1st. Applicant: Vicki Pearson, represented by Pam Hopkins Planner: George Ruttier I. DESCRIiPTION ©F THE REQUEST The applicant, Vicki Pearson, represented by Pam Hopkins of Snowden & Hopkins Architects, P.C., is proposing a remodel of Vail Rowhouse Units #2-A & C. As a result of the remodel Unit #2-A is eliminated and the floor area is combined into the a new Unit #2-C. The proposal calls for the addition of gross residential floor area under the 250 ordinance (1 $8 sq, ft.), the relocation of a staircase above an existing shed, and the reconstruction of the front entrance to Unit #2-B. Other minor alterations will occur to the building to facilitate this remodel, The Vail R.owhouses were originally constructed in 1953. At the time of construction the development was under the jurisdiction of Eagle County as the area had not yet been incorporated. The Vaii Rawhouses were annexed into the Town of Vail in the original incorporation of the Town of Vail in August of 1966. fn 1973 the Town of Vail adopted zoning regulations for the community. At that time, the Vail Rowhouses were zoned High-Qensity Multiple Family. The rawhouses were then rendered non-conforming structures with regard to lot and structure improvements. Due to the existing non-conformity with regard to setbacks, the applicant's proposal requires the following variance: The applicant is requesting a {side setback) variance from Section 12-6H-6 of the Vail Town Code in order to relocate a staircase to the west side of the building and bring it into compliance with the uniform building code. The construction of the staircase would further the existing encroachment of the building into the required 20 foot side setback in the high-density multiple- family {HOME) zone. The building is presently 15.5 feet from the property line on the west side of the property. Thee addition of 41 square feet of floor area on the second floor of the building to create a new stair landing results in a greater discrepancy or greater amount of square footage in the setback than currently exists. • ;~. ~, -_ row:~'DFYAILI~' 11. STAFF REGUMMENDATION • Staff recommends approval. of the request fora {side setback} variance from Section 12- bH-6 of the Vail Town Code. Staff's recommendation of approval is based upon the review of the criteria autlined in Section fV of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented on this application. Staff s recommendation is based on the following findnngs: That the granting of the variance from Sections 12-6H-6 does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the bimitations on other properties in the High-Density fVlultiple-Family Zone District, as the building addition is atop an existing setback encroach and the 41 square feet of additional mass will have no negative effects on the provision of light, air and open space. 2. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the applicant's property that do not generally apply to other properties in the High-Density fl~ultipfe-Family Zone District since the townhouse project was built under Eagle County's jurisdiction and the Town has since annexed the structure and applied different zoning. Further, while annexation alone does not always constitute an exception of extraordinary circumstance, in this case,. the need for compliance with the Uniform Building Code further limits the property owner's options for redevelopment. 3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. III. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BOARDS Planning and Environmental Commission: Action: The PEC is responsible for final approvalJdenial of a variance.. The PEC is responsible far evaluating a proposal for: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to at#ain the objectives of this Title without grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested wariance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public faci'~lrties and utilities, and public safety. ~4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. Design Review Board: Action: the aRB has ,NO review authorify on a variance, but must review any accompanying DRB application. The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: 2 1. Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings 2. Fitting buildings into landscape 3. Configuration of building and grading of a site which respects the topography 4. RemovallPreservation of trees and native vegetation 5. Adequate provision for snow storage on-site 6. Acceptability of building materiaks and colors 7. Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms 8. Provision of landscape and drainage 9. Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures 10. Circulation and access to a site including parking, and site distances 11. Provision of outdoor lighting IV. ZONING STATISTICS Lot Size: 16,220 sq. ft.l©.372 acre Zoning: High Density Multiple Family (HDMF) Allowed/Required Existing Proposed GRFA: 250 sq.ft, addition 2,709 sq. ft. 188 sq. ft. Setbacks: Front: 20' 20' no change Sides: 20' '16.5' no change Rear: 20' fi.9' no change Site Coverage: 8,921 (b5%) 7,134 (44%) no change Height 45'l48' 30'6" no change V'. CRITERIA AND FIND1NGS A. Consideration of Factors Reaardino the Site GoveraQe and Setback Variances: The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Staff believes that the proposed residential addition is compatible with the surrounding uses and structures and development objectives of the town. Since the original application submitted by the applicant in 1999, the applicant has worked closely with the Vail Rowhouse Association and the staff to revise the plans and create a proposal that can be supported by each. Staff believes that through the numerous revisions the application has resulted in a remodel proposal that will have little, if any, negative impacts on the surrounding uses and structures in the vicinity. Recognizing the existing legal, non-conformities, staff has supported variance requests in the past. For instance, a side setback variance was granted to lot 11 in 1984 and a variance was also granted to lot 13 in 1993 in order for a deck to encroach further into a rear setback than would normally be permitted in the HDMF zone. 3 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of 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. The requested variances would allow the applicant to remodel an aged s#ructure bringing it into compliance with the uniform building code and improving its physical appearance which is highly visible from the Covered Bridge, a major pedestrian thoroughfare. As previously stated, the applicant has made numerous changes and revisions to the plans to reduce the amount of deviation requested from the side setback requirements. Staff believes that these changes have resulted in an approval application that will not result in a grant of special privilege. Similarly, staff believes that the variance request is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity of the rowhouses. As previously mentioned, the Vail Rowhouses are legally established, non-conforming buildings and staff believes that variance approvals are needed to facilitate their redevelopment. From an overall perspective, there has been a strong effort to minimize site disturbance while improving the visual appearance of the building and allowing the applicant reasonable enjoyment of her property. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and #raffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Staff believes that the requested variance will have little, if any, negative impacts B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. . 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. 4 b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do nat apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. the strict interpretation ar enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. • • 5 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning .and Environmental Commission FROM: Department of Community Development DATE: April 22, 2(DD2 SUBJECT:.
