CRITERIA FOR REVIEW AND FINDINGS Major Exterior Alteration The development review process for the proposed modifications to the redevelapment of the Vail Mountain Lodge is established in the Tawn of Vail Zoning Regulations. According to Section 12-7A-12, Vail Town Code, "The construction of a new building or the alteration of an existing building shall be reviewed by the L?esign Review Board in accordance with Chapter 91 of the Zoning Regulations. However, any project which adds additional dwelling units, accommodation units, fractional fee club units, any project fhaf adds more than 7, 000 square feet of commercial floor area or common space, or any project which has substantial off-site impacts (as determined by fhe Administrafor) shall be reviewed by the Planning $ Environmental Commission as a major exterior alteration in accordance with this Chapter and Section 12-3-8 of the Town Code. " Staff has determined that this request is a major exterior alteration, since the redevelapment application includes an increase in the number of dwelling units, and changes to the number of approved accommodation units and fractional fee club units, Section 12-7A-13, Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, prescribes the criteria for review and consideration of a development review application for a major exterior alteration. According to Section 12-7A-13, Compliance Burden, "If shag be the burden of fhe applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence before the planning and environmental commission and the design review board fhaf the proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the purposes of the public accommodation zone district, that the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Vail village master plan, the Vail village urban design guide plan and fhe Vail streetscape master plan, and that the proposal does ra'of otherwise have a significanf negative effect on the character of the neighborhood, and that fhe proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of fhe Vail Comprehensive Plan. The applicable elements of the comprehensive plans and the relevant planning documents have been summarized and outlined in Section IV of this memorandum. Upon review of the applicable elements of the comprehensive plans and the relevant planning documents of the Town of Vail, the staff has determined that the proposed major exterior alteration ar modification to the Vail Mountain Lodge is in substantial compliance with the purposes of the Public Accommodation zone district; that the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Vaii Village Master Plan, the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan, and the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, staff finds that the proposed improvements will maintain the unique character of the Vail Village commercial area, with its mixture of lodges and commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The proposed improvements ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses in the vicinity. 10 Further, through the implementation of the required off site improvements which have largely been completed during the earner construction phases of the redevelopment project, the proposed major exterior alterations further the goals and objectives of the Vail Village Master Plan, the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan, and the Town of Vail Transportation Master Plan; each of which is an element of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Staff believes that the proposed improvements substan#ially comply with recommendations outlined in the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Design Considerations, to include, but not be limited to, the following urban design considerations: pedestrianization, vehicular penetration, streetscape framework, street enclosure, street edge, building height, views, senriceldefvery and sunfshade analysis. Further assurance of such will result through the final review of the proposal by the Town of Vail Design Review Board. VIII.

Construction was commenced in the. summer of ?000 and has progressed until present. l~lany of the more significant and aesthetic improvements to the building and site have already been completed. The partially completed project that exists today, despite not being completed, is a significant improvement aver what existed on this site 3 years ago. The proposed plan will give some finality to the rcdevclopmcnt of this project. During the process of redevelopment and due to the state of the economy/market it has become quite clear to the owners that the proposed mixture of uses and an overall program could not be ecanamically successful. Instead of mo~7ng forward with a project that was doomed to fail, the owners stopped short of completing the project and re-evaluated the program. This pause allowed the owners to refine the program and come back to the Town ~vieh a project that will be successful. The proposed program is to maintain a total of 20 hotel rooms, create 7 fractional fee club units {CLP approved October 27, 20(13}, ~ new dwelling units {in addition to the Z privatelyT owned units which exist in the building, and 5 employee housing units {as approved in 2000). The project also maintains the health club and spa facility. The restaurant is'being reconfigured and the outdoor dining area is proposed to be enclosed with a roof and glass walls. The majority of the public improvements required of the project in 2000 have been completed. 31ny additional site improvements will occur in this final phase of construction. The ovaners believe t}-gat the proposed program will be highly successful and can be completed in one phase beginning nest sprint; {2004) and completed by Christmas (2004}. • Fail Mountain I,oclv~e - I4lajnr E?xterior i~lteratsan Braun Associates, Inc.

Desilm Changes The 2f1C10 approved platzs fox the Vail lvlountain )•.ndgc included a major facelift and renovation to the e;tteriar of the h, ui3ding. The approval included adding dormers ~~ithin the roof forms, ned;. building additions such as the entry tower and the tower at the south east corner of the building, and upgrading the exterior building materials. "I'he exterior building materials were irnprovcd by adding wood, stone, and copper to a predorninatel~. stucco structure. A significant portion of the exterior impxavements to the building have Been completed. Over the past 3 nears there have been design modifications to the original design that have been approved by the Design Ret-iew Board. These design changes have enriched the design of the building. one of the mare significant changes to the desigzy concept has been the departure Pram the use of shed dormers as the predcrrninate dnrzner feature to the use of a gable dormer. fJpan viewing some of the finished shed downers on the building, the Design Review Board suggested zx~oving in a slightky different direction and has encouraged the owner to use gable dormers in future phases. '~Ve have Followed that direction to-date and ~vitll this curretxt proposal. The proposed plans anlp modify the design of what vas approved in two areas of the stn~cture. .glk other areas are either completed or the original plan is proposed to be implemented, as ~.«th the south elevation of the building. 'i~he two arras being anodified b~- this application are the middle section of the north. elevation and the proposed dining deck enclosure on the east side of the building. Fail Mr~untau~ Lodge - b4ajor Exterior :~lteraiian Braun :lssociates, rnc. The middle section of the north elevation is the final section of that elevation to be renovated. Seven shed dornle.rs anti three gable dormers were origina]!y planned for tl~e third and fourth floors of the building. The proposed elevation is nearly the same as the approved ~~~itl~ four shed downers and four gable dormers. The elevation also includes a chimney element that is an upgrade required to properly vent the elevator shaft. '['he building cock would require this improveanetYt regardless of any near development within the building (i.e., the existing condition is a current code deficienc~,~}. The original appra~*a1 showed a dormer element in this area that provided the required venting. The revised plans for this. elevation reduce any visual impacts to the neighbors in the Mountain Haus- The 20~J0 approved plan for building included an outdoor deck on the east side of the building. The dining deck was completed in the first phase of the redevelopment. The restaurant frets very little use of the dining deck due to its location on the ease side of the building and the seasonal zlature of outdoor seating in Vail. The proposed plan includes asingle-story enclosure with a flat roof for this dining area. The addition is proposed as a glass facade which can be opened in the warm summer months so that tl-te outdoor dining experience is still maintained. The rcaz~aitlder of the facade is stone tc~ be consistent with base of the building in other areas. The improvement will. not only improve the restaurant environment but also enhance die appearance of the east elevation of the building- The south elevation of the building has been simplified ~~nth ne~v facade treatment, mart organized and consistent deck rails, and improved fenestration. • • V1i1 :~fotic~t<2in Lad~c - :1•laior Exrerior .~lterltion Braun rlssnciates, ir~c- Portion of South Elevation -Not Yet ILenovated D.

Vail Land Use Plan The Vail Land Use Plan was initiated in 19$5 and adopted in 1986 by the Vail Town Council. The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two-fold: 1. To articulate the land use goals of the Town. 2. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a basis from which future land use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant. to be used as adopted policy guidelines in the review process far new development proposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined to indicate general types of land uses which are then used to develop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature, but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision rnaking. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. The West Day Lot is identified as being a part of the Resort Accommodations and Services land use category. The Resort Accommodations and Services land use category states: This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short term visitor to the area, Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented toward vehicular access from 1-70, with other support commercial and business services included. Also allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. Lionshead Rede~elot~ment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted on December 15, 199$ by the Vail Town Council "The master plan was initiated by the Tawn of Vail to encourage redevelopment initiatives within the Lionshead study area. Bath public and private interests have recognized that Lionshead today Packs the economic vr`tality of Vail Village, its neighboring commercial district, and fails to offer a world class resort experience. Lionshead's economic ] f~ potential has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes: lack of growth in accommodation units ("hot beds ), poor retail quality, the apparent deterioration of existing buildings, an uninteresting and disconnected pedestrian environment, mediocre architectural character, and the absence of incentives for redevelopment. " There are several portions of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan which reference the West Day Lot and make recommendations for the site. Below are several sections taken directly from the Master Plan. Chapter ~ Master Plan Recommendations-Overall Study Area (in part) Section 4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead ~.1.51Nest Lionshead - ResidentiaUllllixed-Use Huh The western end of Lionshead, currently undeveloped is home to parking lots, the Fail Associates service yard, the Vail sanitation plant, the old Lawn shops, and a gas station, Uses proposed by the community on this site in the past include increased parking, employee housing, office space, mountain service access, and an eastbound l-7a on- and off-ramp. The master plan recommends that this hub become a residential) mixed use area with an emphasis on meeting the needs of the local community. Appropriate uses could include high density real estate development, lodging, community based office and retail space, employee housing and parking. The opportunity exr`sts far a significant locals or seasonal housing development in this area. To the extent possible development patterns in this area should reflect north-south orientation of buildings, visual penetrations to the mountain, and a pedestrian oriented environment. In addition there is the opportunity far an underground public parking facility. All service and delivery demands created by development in this area shall be accommodated on-site. The site will continue to accommodate the existing and potentially expanded functions of the Vail sanitation plant. The mountain service yard will be reduced in size, as some functions can be moved to less central locations. However the area develops it is critical that new uses 6e connected to the primary pedestrian corridors and that they be served by the Town of Vail in-town transit system. Section 4.8 Parking x.8.1.2 West Day Lot The west day lot is afso owned by Vail Associates and is utilized primarily by mountain based Vail Associates employees. This site offers the possibility of a higher-refurn development opportunity that may make other Tess profitable west end developments feasible, and its existing use for parking is virtually certain to change, It is not anticipated that the 17 emplayee base utilizing this surface lot will decrease; therefore, a!1 the current parking approximately 160 spaces) will have to be replaced. 4.5.3.3 Pofential lVew Parking Sifes b. West Lionshead The construction a second public parking structure at the west end of Lionshead has been a planning consideration since the completion of the Vail Transportation Master plan in 1991. This site is currently undeveloped (except far the Vail Associates maintenance yard) and is large enough to meet projected parking demand. It is well located in relation to the potential new eastbound 1-70 access ramps. Potential logistical hurdles to the use of this site are as (allows: Land Ownership. The entire potential parking structure site (see figure 4-14) is located an Vai! Assaciates and CDOT property Property acquisition from bath entities will be required. South Frontage Raad Realignment. South Frontage Road must 6e realigned to free up a parcel large enough far a major parking facility.. Competing Land Use Priorities. The west end of Lionshead has also been identified as a priority emplayee hausing location by the Town of Vaif and Vail Associates. Although hausing could be constructed on tap of a parking structure, a below-grade facility would significantly increase construcfr'on casts and bring up several important timing issues. Cast. Timing. The Lionshead master plan ground rules stipulate that there will be na net loss of existing emplayee hausing through redevelopment. Redevelopment of the core site by Vail Associates means that the existing employee hausing in the Sunbird Lodge will have to be replaced, mosf likely an the existing Vail Assaciates service yard ar Nafy Cross site. This scenario puts a west Lionshead employee hausing project at or near the tap of the Lionshead redevelopment timeline. Depending on the size requirements of a new west Lionshead parking structure, # is possible that the realignment of the frontage road and the construction of the parking facility would bath have fa occur prior to the construction of the housing project. If the emplayee hausing project occurs first, which is mare probable, the opportunity for a west end parking structure could be lost, as the remaining available land may be taa small for a structure of significant size. 18 The second timing issue is the potential 1-7U interchange at this location. Planning decisions regarding a future parking structure, housing, ar an !-7(1 interchange will have to be made at the same time, or important opportunities may be lost. Convenience. This location for a major parking structure must have regular transit or shuttle service because of ifs distance from the retail core area and the ski yard (greater than a 120Q-foot walking radius. A map from the Master Plan is attached which depicts the potential parking on the West Day Lot (Attachment D). Chapter 517etailed Flan Recomrnendatians {in part) 5.77 West L?ay Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yard/Holy Cross Sife Planning for the western end of Lionshead must consider two different scenarios: the realignment of South Frontage Raad and its retention in the existrng alignment. Higher densities and building heights may be appropriate in this area, particularly to encourage the development of employee housing. However, any development must meet the overall character and visual intent of the master plan and be compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the Vail Spa. As depicted in figures 5-21 and 5-22, realignment of South Frontage Road will allow These properties to be consolidated for development while maintaining a transit connection through the property. Within the cansa6dated parcel, there are four distinct sub-areas separated by location and land use. The first is the existing west day lot. This site has Gore Creek frontage, is removed from fhe frontage road, and is the most appropriate #or a higher-end fee simple or fractional fee development. The second, immediately adjacenf fo South Frontage Road, should have a strong relationship with the first {potentially by a connecting 'greenbelt" as shown in figure 5-24), but its less desirable location suggests a different and potentially higher density product. Affordable housing should also be considered here to accommodate new employee generation. The third, west of the realigned South ,Frontage Road, has been identified as an appropriate location far high density employee housing. The fourth has the longest road #rontage and is the recommended location far a smaller Vail Associates service yard. From this location, a snow cat access route to the mountain could be developed through the old town shops site and across the river to the Cascade Ha ski trail. !f South Frontage Road is not realigned prior to buildout on this site, there would be a slight reduction in the amount of developable land north of the #rantage road {see figure 5-2,3), and access points to the properties might be different. Traffic flow patterns and transit vehicle access would be different. The removal of the central transiU' pedestrian corridor will necessitate either an additional west ]9 l.ionshead transit stop or the undesirable situation of people crc-ssirrg the frontage road to access a single transit stop. Town of Vail Comprehensive Oven Lands Plan In 1994, the Vail Town Council adapted the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify priorities for open space and recreation needs communicated by the citizens of Vaii. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan -Action Plan map identifies a portion of the West Day Lot site as "Undeveloped Parcel (Zoning Varies) Action Not Recommended". The Plan did not reference or recommend any action with the existing site. VL DISCUSSION ISSUES Purpose of the Meeting As was previously discussed, the purpose of this meeting is for the applicant to present the overall redevelopment proposal for southern portion of the West Day Lot and the applications associated with the proposal. The applicant will present a proposal to construct 1 Q duplex structures with a total of 20 dwelling units. In addition, there is a proposed underground parking structure which will provide parking for the residences. In order to facilitate the proposal the applicant is proposing to add single-family residential dwellings and two-family residential dwellings as conditional uses under Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses, Generally (on all levels of a building or outside a building), Vail Town Gode. If the proposed text amendment is forwarded to Council with a recommendation of approval the applicant will request a conditional use permit to construct the residences under the updated Lionshead Mixed Use 1 district. In addition, the applicant will be requesting a conditional use permit for a public or private parking lot for the sub-grade parking structure which will service the proposed 20 dwelling units. The final part of this application is a request for approval of a major exterior alteration to construct the residential units. Staff and the applicant recommend the Commission listen to the presentation by the applicant for the West Day Lot and offer any comments and feedback regarding the four applications associated with the 10 residential structures. Additional Infarmatian Necessary to Complete the [}evelopment Review Application Staff has distributed copies of the proposal to the Public Works, Fire, and Community Development Departments for review. The applicant has been given multiple comments by the Departments. As this is a work session, staff did not require the applicant to submit ail the required items for a text amendment, conditional use permits and a major exterior alteration application prior to being scheduled for Planning and Environmental Commission review.

The information contained in this document is the information necessary for evaluating the proposed two-family residential development on a portion of the West Day Lot/Marriott property. The document discusses the entire West Day Lat project as the entire site is being proposed as one overall coordinated plan with alI development standards applied to the entire parcel. The project for which approval is currently being sought is the low-density residential devel.,y„,ent on the south edge of the property the Gare Creek Residences. This plan includes up to 20 dwelling units in duplex stz~zctures. The duplex units can be developed in several formats as there are two floor plans proposed; one layout of approximately 2,b00 sq .ft. and the other of approximately 3,400 sq. ft. Depending on market conditions the site could be developed with a maximum of 20 units {all smaller units) or a minimum of l4 units (all larger units} or anywhere between (some big and some small). Plans have been submitted showing 20 dwelling units and 16 dwelling units {the likely development scenario}. All parking is located in a sub- surfaceparking structure accessed directly from Forest Road. • • Vai! Resorts - `F~he Redevelopment of Lionshcad lI. DETAILED PROJECT OVERVIEW (O)verall Development Site} The West Day Lat is located within an area identified by the Lionshead Redevel.,t,,,,ent Master flan for resort lodging and residentiallrruxed use dcvelopment. This site is being redeveloped as a logical extension of the existing Marriott Hotel with lodging and residential uses at a scale that mirrors that of the existing neighborhood. This development project includes both the West Day Lot and Marriott properties as one overall project site. The Master Plan identified this neighborhood as a mare quiet residential area providing the greatest opportunity to expand the Town's bed base. Below are the north and south elevations of the new hotel facility. • -----y 4 ~*~, ,~ • .~ lJotel Building -North and South Elevations • Vail -Zesons -The Redevelopmen4 of L.ionshcad 2 1. Existing Conditions The project site is currently developed with the Harriett Hotel, an open air parking structure vs=bleb serves the Marriott Hotel, and an unpaved surface employee parking lot with a capacity of 160 parking spaces. The site has been re-graded over the years creating man-made berms and slopes, The Marriott Hotel currently contains X76 newly renovated hotel rooms, 35 dwelling units, a 4,500 sq. ft. restaurant, and nneeting raoms. Site improvements include tennis courts and a swimming gaol. 2. Overview of Project -Entire WDL + Design Concept The redevelopment of the West Day Lot builds upon the success of the newly redeveloped Harriott Hotel (276 hotel reams and 35 dwelling units) by proposing a new hotel and residential development an the remainder of the site. The project provides a transition from the high density lodging facilities along West Lionshead Circle to a law- rise and low density duplex style development along Gare Creek, as suggested in the Lionshead Redevelopment Hester Plan. This transition is important due to the low density residential uses that exist on the south side of Gore Creek. • The project includes attention to the design guidelines including the provision of stepbacks and the transition of wall planes and materials as directed by the Lionshead design guidelines. The proposed plan implements many other goals of the Master Plan including concealing parking in subsurface structures, developing residential and lodging uses in this area of Lionshead, developing pedestrian connections to the care of Lionshead, and meeting all of the design standards and guidelines. • Project Components The new hotel building includes 90 hotels raoms (44 are hotel lack-offs), 113 dwelling. units, meeting raoms, a restaurant, hotel fitness areas, and subsurface parking to serve bath the new development and a portion of the Marriott's parking requirements. Additionally, there is slaw-density residential development on the south side of the site containing up to 20 dwelling units in up to lOtroo-family structures. These homes are accessed via a subsurface parking area connecting to West Forest Raad. Zoning Text Arr-endment The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district does not list single-family or two-family residential structures as a permitted or conditional use. At the time this zone district was drafted, there was not much thought given to these low density use as there did net seem to be a logical location in the Lionshead area to allow such low-density residential uses. Through careful planning of the West Day Lot Vail resorts discovered that law-density Vail Resorts -The Redevelopment of Lionshead residential uses would be advantageous to create a transition from more intensive lodging uses to the low-density residential neighborhoods adjacent to the site. Therefore, Fail Resort's is proposing a text amendment to the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district to allow single-family and two-family residential structures as a conditional use. This amendment will allow the proposed Gore Creek Residences to be approved by the Planning and Enviranan,ental Commission subject to the conditional use criteria found in the Zoning Regulations. The approval criteria would allow the PEC to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate 1ocatians far single-family and two-family uses within Lianshead. • • Vai] Res©rts -The Redevelo~rnent of Lionshead Q r. 3.

NO NET LOSS OF PARKING A. 11'Iaster Plan Policy A ground-rule was established during the master planning process far Lionshead that states that there will be no net loss of parking (public or private) in the Lionshead redevelopment area. That means that as properties are redeveloped or vacant properties are developed parking must be provided to serve the proposed uses and that employee parking located in Lionshead (the West Day Lot and the North Day Lot) must be replaced if displaced by new development. Section 3.9 "Parking" ofthe Master Plan provides an "assessment of existing parking conditions." That section goes on to identify the North Day Lot and the West Day Lot as existing employee parking areas con#aining 105 and 160 parking spaces, respectively. B. Vail Resorts Parking Plan The parking plans for all of the proposed redevelopment sites address two issues: parking required for the new or redeveloped use and parking displaced from the North Day Lot and the West Day Lot. All proposed development projects (i.e., the North Day Lot, the Core Site, the West Day Lot, and the Tennis Court Site) provide all of the parking required for the uses proposed. Displaced employee parking may be accommodated in the following ways and. an the following sites: as surface parking located on the Maintenance Center/Holy Crass Site or in conjunction with a parking program utilizing Vail Resorts property located near the Minturn exit of 1-70. A specific employee parking replacement plan and program will be provided by Vail Resorts prior to a~t,,.,val of the proposed Lionshead redevelopment projects.

Below is an analysis of the Town's conditional use permit review criteria required for the proposed meeting rooms, retail and restaurant uses on the second floor of a building, and lodging rooms and dwelling units on the first floor of a building. The analysis also includes the text amendment to allow single and two-family residential in the Lionshead IVlixed Use l zone district. Conditional Use Permits -Location of retail, lgd~e units, dwelling units, and meeting rooms and Conditional Use Permit for the Gore Creek Residences: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Analuss: The proposed uses are part of an overall coordinated development plan far the West Day Lot. All of the proposed uses are consistent with those uses and activities identified by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan for this location. The plan specifically recommends hotels and other residential development in this area afLianshead. Additionally, the Master Plan and zoning regulations recognize the need for customary and accessofy uses within a lodging facility to serve the occupants thereof as well as the general public. Since this building is not located in the primary retail area, there is na negative impact associated with lodge roams and condominiums on tlce first level of the building. The proposed single-fancily residences are being located in an area of the site urhieh is adjacent to Gore Creek and the law density homer directly across the creep The proposed homes will create a transition or bu,,ffer from the mare intensive uses in Lionshead to the leses deense uses on West Forest Road. The proposed uses and their locations within the building are consistent with the Town's development objectives for this area af.~ianshead. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public faCllitieS neCdS. Analvsis: The prapased uses will have little if any effect nn these criteria. Except for the meeting rooms, the other uses are conditional for locational reasons, nceaccing Vail Resorts -The Redevelopment of Lionshead. 13 that they are normally permitted uses on the property but due to their location in the building they arE~ conditional. The proposed lacatian.s for a restaurant, condominiums, and lodge rooms will therefore have no effect an the listed criteria. The meeting rooms are accessary to the hotel function and therefore do not generate additional traffic, produce additional permanent population, or have effect on the Town's infrastrrtcture. The new condominiums and Gore Creek Residences are intended to serve as vacation units and therefore are unlikely to create a permanent population creating the need for schools, parks, and other recreational uses for full-tinge residents, while still being compatible with a residential environment. Recreational amenities have been provided to serve the guests and residents on-site. 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. Analvsi.s: The proposed redevelopment project and proposed conditional uses wdl improve tlae traffic circulation to and from the site and x>ithin the property. All of the required parking and loading for the project is located below grade in a two level structure. Access to the site comes directly front YYest Lianshead Circle and Forest Rand .similar- to the existing condition but greatly improved by reducing conflicts and removing sur. face parking areas. The loading areas are accessed da`rectly from the South Frontage Raad into a below grading loading area.. All of the driveways, drive aisles, and loading areas meet the Toxin's development standards. The proposed plan separates pedestrians and vehicles to the greatest degree possible thus creating safe environment for pedestrians. Driveways and parking areas• are either heated ar located underground; therefore snow removal will not be necessary. The proposed plan adequately addresses all of the issues raised by this criterion.. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, inciudinl; the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Analusis.' The proposed uses and structures are being developed in eanformance with the development standards established by zoning, The proposed uses and structures also comply with the direction provided in the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposed uses will provide needed accommodations within the west end of Lionshead. The bulk and scale ofstructures is can.sistent with that envisioned by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the design guidelines adopted therein. Tl7e proposed uses are can.sistent with those uses and structures located on adjacent sites, as adjacent sites are developed with residential and lodging uses. Vait Resorts -The Redevo]opcnent of Lionshead. l~ Text Amendment -- To allow single and' two-family residential uses in the LHh'IL31 District: 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and Analysis.` The proposed amendment to the Lionshead 1Vlixed Use 1 zone district will specifically further the goals of the zoning regulations by providing an opportunity,fnr.site speck review by the Planning and Environmental Commission oflow-density residential development within the Lionshead area. This amendment allows an applicant and the Town to consider low-density residential develnpment where it is otherwise consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, is compatible with adjacent uses, and does not interfere with the economic vitality of the Linnshead area. Tlae proposed text amendment will promote coordinated and harmonious development within the Town to conserve and maintain community qualities and values, ensure safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and provide far the safety and general welfare of the community. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the develvY~t~ent objectives of the town; and r4nalvsis: The proposed text. amendment will allow single family and two family development Io be enn.sidered vy the Planning and Environmental Cnmmisssion within the Lionshead Mixed U.se 1 zone district as a conditional use. While low- density residential develnpment is not a desirable use in many areas of Lionshead there are certain areas where it helps to create transition and compatibility with adjacent uses, as in the ease w~:th the West L?ay Lot. The proposed text amendment will better implement the goals and objectives of the Town by allowing the opportunity for the Planning and ,~'nvironmental Commission to consider loww-density residential develnpment in logical areas that promote compatibility rather that a wholesale prohibition of the use.

The extent to which the text amendment deamonstrates havtir conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulatian and haw the existing regulatian is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and ~tnalvsis: The proposed text amendment is necessary to correct a wholesale prohibition of a use that has naer-it in the I.Innshead Mixed Use 1 zone district.

MASTER PLAN CQNSII7ERATIONS The Town of Vail established six policy objectives to serve as the framework for the Lionshead Redevel„~,~l~ent Master Plan. The proposed Vail Resorts Development Company redevel.,t„~~ent projects implement these policies as indicated below. A. Renewal and Redevelopment The proposed redevelopment projects represent a significant renewal of the Lionshead area. With the removal and replacement of the existing Sunbird and Gondola buildings in the heart of Lionshead, there will be a wholesale change in the character of the Lionshead core. The redeveloped sites will provide a warmer more pedestrian scale to the buildings and introduce amenities necessary for running aworld-class resort and ski mountain. All of the sites are being redeveloped to the design standards and qualities presented in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. These projects will help Lionshead achieve a personality and identity of its own. S. Vitality and Amenities All of the proposed projects include components which. help to improve the overall vitality of the Lionshead Area. The redevelopment projects include a fnve-star hotel, meeting room facilities, a public ice rink, improved retail and restaurant facilities, office uses, employee housing, and other amenities that will help attract skiers, shoppers, and resort guests. C. Stronger Economic Base Through Increased Live Beds The proposed redevelopment projects include two new hotel facilities where none exist today. Both hotel facilities include traditional hotel rooms, hotel lock-off units, and condominiums. The hotel lack-off units and condominiums are to be included in a rental program through a series of incentives and disincentives offered to condominium owners, thus encouraging the entire facility to be operated as a hotel property. These new lodging products are new beds being introduced into Lionshead as no existing lodging facilities exist on these sites today, The proposed projects will improve the economic base of Lionshead with the new beds and lodging products being created. I]~. Improved Access and Circulation The access and circulation within Lionshead is somewhat dysfunctional. Pedestrians are constrained by frequent grade changes, dead end streets, and confusing corridors. Vehicular access tends to conflict with all other modes of traffic which adds to the confusion and haphazardness of the Lionshead area- The proposed redevelopment projects create new streets and pedestrian-ways to help improve the overall access for pedestrians, skiers, and shoppers. Additionally, buildings are being redeveloped at more ofpedestrian scale and with uses that will draw pedestrians through the Lionshead area. Vehicular circulation is improved with the Vail Reso€ts -The Rede4•elopmcnt of Lionshead 17 addition of below grade parking and loading facilities which helps to separate vehicles and pedestrians. The redeveloprnenC projects will improve access and circulation for all modes of transportation, E. Improved Infrastructure The proposed redevelopment projects will. help to improve the avers]] physical infrastructure of Lionshead. The projects provide for below grade parking and loading areas thus improving capacity and aesthetics of these functions. Streetscape improverr~erzts such as sidewalks, walkways, and new streets are included in the amenities being proposed for the redeveloped sites. Vail Resorts has provided the oppar-tunity for the Town of Vail to provide a transit center on the North Day Lot thus improving the Town's transit capabilities. The proposed improvements will help the Town and Vail Resorts meet the service expectations of guests and residences. F. Creative Financing for )Cnhaneed Private Profits and Public Revenues Vail Resorts is utilizing a series of financing tools in order to redevelop these properties in Lionshead. Capital is being generated from portions of alI of the sites including the Tennis Court Situ, the proposed Gore Creek Residences on the West Day Lot, and frorrr the condotxrinium components of the proposed hotels. Without these sources of capital, the redevelopment of Lionshead would not be possible. • • Vail Resorts - 71ie lZecievelapment of Lionshead 1 tl CHAPTER 4 MASTER PLAN RECOMA~ENDATIC~NS -OVERALL STUDY AREA f _' ~ ~ ~ ~ w +~_ ~ I ~~ .. .. - ~ .~' ' ~,~,;~; ti ~ ,. ~~ ,--` ~ - ~~ -,,r ' 4 t. ...~ ~.+ ~-„~~~ vas , / .~ ~u '~ ~rt ~' ~ ~ / f POTENTIAL INGRESSAEGRESS PDE+TT Pt~1'ENFL4L 400 SPACE PER.

Vl, CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria and factors for consideration for a request of a text amendment are established in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-3, Vail Tawn Code {Ordinance No. 4, Series 2002). A. Consideration of Factors Regarding the Text Amendment: 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and Staff believes the proposed text amendments are consistent with the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations noted in Section V of this memorandum. Specifically related to Chapter 12-16, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, a funicular is an uncommon residential use that exhibits special characteristics that warrant additional consideration and review by the Town of Vaii. gy allowing a funicular as a conditional use, the zoning regulations provide the flexibility to allow such a use while ensuring the adequate review of such a special use. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would bet#er implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adapted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and Since the current zoning regulations do not specifically define nor address the use of funiculars; Staff believes the proposed text amendments address an issue not contemplated with the initial adoption of the zoning regulations. Therefore, Staff believes that the proposed text amendments better implemen# the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and are compatible with the development ObjectiVeS of the Town. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and haw the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and Since the current zoning regulations do not specifically define nor address the use of funiculars; Staff believes the proposed text amendments address an issue not contemplated with the initial adoption of the zoning regulations. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations cansistentwith municipal development objectiives. 93 A residential funicular is an uncommon and unique use that is not specifcally addressed by the current zoning regulations. By allowing a funicular as a conditional use, the Planning and Environmental Commission will be afforded the ability to review the special characteristics of a funicular on an individual case-by- case basis. The Planning and Environmental Commission will be able to evaluate a funicular in terms of operation (i.e. hours of use, noise, lighting, etc.} and compatibility with the site and the neighboring properties. Additionally, the Planning and Environmental Commission may impose conditions and limitations on the use of a funicular to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Staff believes the proposed text amendments will better regulate the use of funiculars to provide a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal objectives. 5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission andlor Council deem applicatale to the proposed text amendment. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before forwarding a recommendation of annroval for of a text amendment: 1. That. the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Gornprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and 2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and 3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promo#es the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIGN The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission prioritize the necessary updates according to the criteria Listed below: • Ease of the revisionlupdate: In-house {7utsource • Importance of the Plan to Vail's future • Impact of the Plan on current development Frequency of use Using the above criteria, Staff has identified the five most important. actions for updating the Town's adopted guidelines and regulations, 1}Vail Village Master Plan The Vail Village Master Plan is a plan based on the experience of the Village as a whole, with particular emphasis on pedestrian areas and public spaces. As stated in the Plan, a review by the Planning and Environmental Commission should occur not less than every ~ years, or as deemed necessary. The Vail Village Master Plan was untended to serve for 15 years {2Q05) as a part of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. However, a reviewlupdate of the Mater Plan has Heuer occurred. The upcoming and necessary review should address several issues, including but not limited to the following: 1) Means of maintaining a high level of quality development and redevelopment within Vaii Village 2) The necessity for Special Development Districts; i.e., the Plan should be current enough to address today's issues appropriately without causing every project to need exceptions from the regulations 3) The incorporation of the following adopted documents: a) Vail Village Urban Design Guidelines -the Guidelines detail ideas about the function and aesthetics of Vail Village and are therefore essential to the Vail Village Master Plan. b) Streetscape Master Rlan -due to its emphasis on the design and quality of the pedestrian environment, the Plan is intertwined with the Master Plan_ c) Transportation Master Plan -this Plan should be intricately connected with and incorporated into the Vail Village Master Plan since its primary initiative is to facilitate organized growth, a key aspect in Vail's future. 4) Unique strategies intended to improve the retail environment. 2} Land Use Plan The Land Use plan needs to be updated to recognize new and evolving community i priorities such as affordable housing, recreational uses, environmental concerns, community facilities, and other related land use issues, According to the plan, review and updates should occur every 3 to 5 years. An update should have occurred in 2D~1. The pending revision should include the following three plans in order to remain comprehensive and current: a) Comprehensive Open Lands Plan -The emphasis on {and use, including recreation, the environment, public facilities, housing, and open space, justifies the combination of the Comprehensive ©pen Lands Plan with the Land Use Ptan. b) 1=nvironmental Strategic Plan -This plan was developed to establish along-term environmental protection work plan, yet has a lifespan of only 4 years, which expired in 1998. Because the environment and related issues are constantly in flux, the Plan should be updated to reflect the community's goals, current problems, and their short-term and long term solutions. Its attention to land use issues necessitates its incorporation into the Land Use Plan. c) Transportation Master Plan -This Plan should be incorporated into the Land Use Plan since it is a key element in land use and organized growth. 3) Tawn of Vail Zoning Regulations Title 12, Zoning Regulations, of the Vail Town Code, comprises the basis of all new and redevelopment projects that take place within the Town. However, many inconsistencies exist within the Code that warrant revision, such as irregular wording of the same uses within different zoning districts, possible omissions of integral design review steps, and many other similar issues, Additionally, the revisions proposed far the other adopted documents will require the update of the Zoning Regulations, which should be done simultaneously with the Development Standards Handbook, described next. 4) Development Standards Handbook Though not attributed the importance of a Master Plan, the Development Standards Handbook is an important supplement to Vail's Town Code and is a key tool in implementing the other adopted guidelines. However, its user-friendly format should be updated to include more illustrations and diagrams through which to guide the many redevelopment and new development projects occurring within the Town today. ~) Ford ParklDonovan Park Master Plan The revision of this plan is not of immediate importance. However, the plan will need to be edited should future decisions be made by the Town Council to allow seasons! parking as a conditional use at Ford Park, • ~a PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION PUBLIC MEETING Monday, October 27, 2003 PROJECT ORIENTATION 1-Community Development Dept.

Russ Forrest gave a presentation per the staff memorandum Dominic Maur'rello stated that this is a result of working with the town to address the skier parking issue on the frontage road. It is the hope of the applicant to return in the spring with a plan which addresses the site with a mare comprehensive plan. Nancy Adam a resident of Forrest Raad concerned with people walking on Forest Road ~ ~ and the safety issues. Cars already zoom up and down West Forest Road and she is concerned that the additional parking will bring more cars with people dropping friends off at the top of the road and then driving back down to park. Russ Forrest stated that he did not believe that pedestrians would be walking up Forest Road. He added that a sidewalk is being constructed on the north side of the west day lot to facilitate employees walking into Lionshead. Rollie Kjesbo asked about access and the cut in the berm and whether it was solely for fire service Dominic Mauriello stated that it was fire service solely, George Lamb asked about bus stops in the area and were they were located Dominic Mauriello and Russ Forrest stated that the closest stop was in front of the Marriott hotel.. Erickson Shirley asked if there was a need for a bus stop. He continued by stating that the distance to the Marriott stop was not that far. Chas was concerned also with the location of the bus stops. He believes it should be examined in the first couple of months to determine whether a bus stop should be located nearer. John Schofield stated that the hardship was the parking on the frontage road was a safety issue. He continued by stating that he would like to a see a condition which states that the West Day Lot will be operated by Public Works for public parking..

A request far a major subdivision pursuant to Chapter 13-3, Major Subdivision, Vail Town Code, to allow for the platting. of the ski-way tract and four lots at the l_ionshead tennis court site and a rezoning pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Administration, Vail Town Code, from Agriculture and Open Space zone district to PrimarylSecondary Two-Family Residential zone district to allow for the construction of residential dwelling units on the four proposed lots and from Agriculture and Open Space zone district to Outdoor Recreation zone district to allow for the ski lifts, tows, and runs located at 315 West Forest Road/Unplatted (A complete metes and bounds legal description is available for review at the Town of Vail Community Development Department). Applicant: Vai] Resorts, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: Warren Campbell Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Dominic Mauriello stated that applicant will respond to any issues or concerns that the Board or citizens may have. Art Abpianalp stated that he represented four home owners in the area. He continued by thanking Vail Resorts far meeting with himself and his clients. Mr. Abplananlp believes there are impacts that need to be addressed including the elimination of the snow cat. Also there was a concern over the number of dwelling units which could be constructed on the four lots if they were rezoned to Two-Family Pimary/Secondary district. He continued lay adding that a condition should be put on the application that only one dwelling unit be allowed per lot. He further stated that Outdoor Recreation district zoning was a problem as the applicant is proposing. He would like Natural Area Preservation district zoning on the Town of Vail stream tract land. Jim t.amont stated that he has talked to the Tawn and the Company and he is optimistic that an agreement has been reached regarding the Town owned stream tract. We added that the stream tract should be rezoned of a district which will keep it in it's mast pristine condition. Fred Rumford, a resident of West Forest Road, asked about a new skier bridge and about the tennis court path which he believed needed to be maintained to provide access for the residents to Lionshead. He also asked that the trees be preserved an the west side of the tennis courts. In addition he questioned the proximity of the lots to the stream tract. He reiterated that the path should be maintained. Nancy Adams, a resident of West Forest Road, would like #o the path around the tennis courts to remain. She added that Lots 1 and 4 will have access to the ski area because Vail resorts realizes that it is important and therefore that displays the importance of the need for residents. She continued that there will be mare traffic on the West Forest Road and the residents needed a safe pedestrian pathway. Dominic Mauriello then reviewed access in both the winter and summer for pedestrians and skiers with the proposed plans. The path was created to access the tennis courts and now that the tennis courts were being removed the need for a path was no longer needed. He continued by stating that there was a note on the plat restrict owners of the lots from future subdivision. If an owner wanted to construct a second dwelling unit ar EHU they could but they could not be separately owned. The Alai would also restrict the four lots to a total of 8 dwelling units including FHUs. Mr. Mauriello stated that the snow cat access is being addressed through a separate application currently on file with the Town. He addressed Mr, Abplenalp's concern by stating that the Outdoor Recreation district zoning is more restrictive than the existing Agriculture and Open Space district zoning. To address Mr. Rumford's concern Mr. Mauriello stated that the homes Vail Resort are proposing are the same distance Pram the creek as other homes west ofi the site- He continued by pointing out that the plat contained "na-build zones" on the Worths portions of the site. He concluded by stating that the cul-de-sac at the end of West Forest Road was the result of a public works request. Jahn Schofield asked that signage be put at the cul-de-sac to prevent the public from parking in the cul-de-sac. Dominic Mauriello mentioned that a new skier bridge will be proposed in conjunction with the West Day Lot residences. Jay Peterson, representing the applicant, wanted to respond to the letters. He stated that one of the letters stated the uses were positive and consistent with the rest of the neighborhood. The person in the letter said the access is dangerous and can only be used when a '°kind heartEd" snow cat operator plows the trail. Mr. Peterson further stated that the time of this path has come and gone. He added that in the summer the company will provide two paths one for cyclists and the other for pedestrians. He continued by stating that he agreed with staffi and Mr. Mauri'ella that the Outdoor Recreation district zoning is more restrictive than existing Agriculture and Open Space district zoning. Nancy Adams asked whether the developer had any compelling reason to remove the bike path. Ms. Adams also disagreed that there was a large snow cliff at the end of the pedestrian access to Lionshead on the existing tennis court path. Fred Rumford restated that with the path removed there will be no access from the west to the ski way. Gary Hartman thought the zoning being proposed is appropriate. Gary asked that the Town bring a rezoning request forward for Natural Area Preservation district zoning on the stream tract site. Mr. Hartman was also interested in signage at the cul-de-sac to prohibit access. Mr. Hartman did not feel it was appropriate to force VR to maintain the pedestrian trail. Doug Cahill stated that he feels the Outdoor Recreation district zoning is appropriate. The additional conditions that Mr. Abplenalp discussed have been addressed adequately by the applicant. He believes the rerouting of the snow cats is appropriate. The path is there because of the tennis courts and now that the courts are to be removed he saw no reason far the path to remain. Chas Bernhardt is comfortable with the rezonings. He continued that the access to the ski slope by West Forest Road residents will be no more difficult than the Mill Creek access. He felt it is was inappropriate for private properties owners to force Vail Resorts to provide public access through their lots. Rollie Kjesba asked about the size of the lots. Mr. Mauriello reviewed the lot sizes. Rollie Kjesba asked that the snow cat access relocation be a condition of approval. George Lamb stated that there used to be an access problem on Mill Creek and he is optimistic that with signage public access can be limited on West Forest Road. George Lamb pointed out that Vail Resorts is encouraging pedestrian access with a heated walk way across the bridge. Erickson Shirley asked about Tract X and where it was located. Mr. Mauriello reviewed the plat Warren Campbell reviewed Mr. Apblenalp's interest in creating a buffer between the ski way and the homes to the east of the ski way.. Erickson Shirley asked that the Town move forward with. new zoning on the Town of Vail owned lands east of Tract X. Mr. Shirley also liked the idea of creating a pedestrian connection on the skier bridge as it wile provide access from Forest Road to the Lionshead Village. John Schofield asked that the Town move forward with the rezoning an the stream tract parcel. He found that the proposed zoning on the ski way of Qutdoor Recreation district is the most appropriate. He continued by stating that the minor subdivision is appropriate. The traffic concern is a valid concern and signage should be recommended in a motion to prevent skier parkingldrop-off in the proposed cul-de-sac. John Schofield did not believe there was a basis for taking Vail Resort's land to provide public access. Dominic Mauriello clarified that Vail Resorts can not act on a condition that they can not guarantee as the Design review Board and Council will need to support a new snow cat access. He suggested that the condition be worded that the applicant pursue the application with sincere intent. John Schofield agreed with Mr. Mauriello's suggestion. Rollie Kjesba asked that a condition be crafted to require an alternate snow cat access. Jay Peterson stated that a snow cat access condition was acceptable and that the applicant would return to the Planning and Environmental Commission if the attempt to move the access failed. Motion; Daug Cahill made a motion to approve the preliminary plat for the major • subdivision with four conditions and the findings in the memorandum Conditions: 1. That the applicant submit a final drainage study, erosion control plan, and plan and profile with cross-sections for the new curb and cutter along Forrest Road for review by staff prior to scheduling on a Planning and Environmental Commission agenda for review of the final plat. 2. That the applicant place a note on the final plat that states that no improvements other than landscaping be permitted in the "na build zones". 3. That the applicant pays for the cost of new traffic control signs and the installation of the signs at the approved cul-du-sac location on West Forest Road offer receiving approval for design and location by the Public Works Department. 4. That the applicant removes the snowcat access Pram West Forest Road, if an alternative route is reviewed and approved by the Town of Vail. The alternate route shall be proposed by the applicant and reviewed by the Town of Vail prior to the closing of the sale of any one of the four new residential lots approved on the tennis court site.

Dominic Mauriello clarified that excess parking at the site will be used by Vail Resorts not for public parking. There was no public input. Gary Hartman stated that replating and rezoning and conditional use requests were appropriate. The other commissioners had no comments Dominic requested that condition 4 be removed as the staff and applicant can work out the parking management plan. Nancy Adams, a resident of West forest Road, reiterated an earlier concern about pedestrian and traffic safety which should be addressed with the additi©nal parking to be added to the site. Doug Dahill asked if the neighborhood could be notified about the traffic management plan.

Motion: Doug Cahill made a motion to approve the conditional use permits with three conditions and the findings in the memorandum Conditions: 1.

Meadow Drive !Tract B, Vail Village 1Sc Filing. Applicant: Vail Mountain Lodge LLC, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: George Rather 1 Russ Forrest Russell Forrest introduced the project, in George Ruther's absence, according to the memorandum. Dominic Mauriello, with Braun Associates, stated that the only significant difference between the project today and the project from three years ago was the enclosure of the dining deck off of Vail Valley Drive. He stated that the enclosure would be an. improvement to the architecture of the building. The heating of the pavement on the east side of the building would be most conveniently done at the time of the TCO in November, 2004, in order to avoid complications that might result to the paving from passage of heavy equipment, etc. Erickson Shirley asked what part of the street improvements had already been finished. ~~ 1~4YN DF YAiia ~y Dominic Mauriello said that everything but the access area to the back of fihe site had. been completed. Erickson Shirley asked if there was going to be a separate bailer system, which Dominic Mauriello confirmed. Art Alpenalp, representing the Robertson family (owners of a condo unit at the Mountain Haus), stated that the Robertson's view to the east was going to be affected by the ridge at the Mountain Haus. He requested that the structure should not be higher than 4". John Schofield asked what the Cade required for the vent in question and was it not a DRB decision in the end. Russell Forrest stated that the DRB could address the vent further, if they chase. Mr. Alpenalp said that confirmation of the height was at 4'. Russell Forrest stated that the Vail Village Master PEan did state that pedestrian environments, etc, were addressed in relation to the enclosure of outdoor dining decks. Jahn Schofield opened the fVovr far Commissioner's comments. Doug Cahill stated that the enclosure of the deck did, indeed, add to the overall bulk and mass of the building. He requested that the applicant make the enclosure as transparent and unobtrusive as passible. Regarding the chimney, he mentioned ghat the PEC could regulate the height. Was the overall number of seats within the restaurant being increased, he asked. Mr. Mauriello responded in the negative. Chas Bernhardt stated that he felt the enclosure of the deck was justified far temperature reasons. He asked Mr. Fattest if there were any improvements aside from the heated areas that were in question. Russ Forrest said that that was the main issue. Rollie ICjesbo stated that as long as the elevator vent did not extend mare than 4' he had no further comments. George Lamb agreed with the comments made about the temperature problems associated with this particular outdoor dining deck, as well as the height of the vent. Erickson Shirley asked about the timeline of the paver improvements and the Vength of time that disruption would exist as a result. Dominic Mauriello stated that all improvements should be completed by November, 2004. Streamwalk access would be maintained, he finished. Mr. Shirley wanted to make sure #hat proper signage was replaced at the site after the improvements were made. John Schofield suggested that the request be approved with a specified date of completion, including the heated pavers, in November 2004. Mr. Alpenalp wanted to make sure that the plans reflected the 4' nomenclature, which the applicant agreed to.

A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council far proposed text amendments to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses; Generally (on all levels of a building or outside a building), Vail Town Code, to allow single-family residential dwellings and two-family residential dwellings as conditional uses in the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 District. A request far a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses; Generally (an all levels of a building or outside a building), Vail Tawn Code, and a request for a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7, Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of twelve new single- family and two-family residential dwelling units; and a request for a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses, Generally (on all levels of a building or outside a building), Vail Town Cvde, tv allow for a private parking lot, located at 730, 724, and 714 West Lionshead CirclelTracts A, B, C, & D, Morcus Subdivision and Lot 7, Marriott Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. {1Nest Day Lvt) Applicant: Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by Braun and Associates Inc. Planner: Warren Campbell Warren Campbell introduced the project according to the memorandum. Dominic Mauriello, with Braun Associates, detailed the overall timeline for the proposed improvements, emphasizing the ten buildings {20 units} currently being addressed. He mentioned the desire for flexibility within the project. Some units would be 3400 square feet, with others at 2600 square feet. Currently, more than nine buildings would likely result. The plan included a subsurface parking garage, making the surface accessible for pedestrians going to the gondola, for hotel guests,. etc. Each proposed unit would contain a two car garage, the parking count well exceeding what is required by the Town_ He mentioned the emphasis tha# the Lionshead Master Plan placed on compatibility and the similarity between these proposed units and those directly across the creek. Further changes in architectural style would be addressed through the Design Review Board. Mr, Mauriello continued, stating his desire to request a text amendment to the LMU-1 zoning district that would allow single-family and two-family residences as a conditional use. Regarding public improvements, a brand new skier bridge would be built as a part of the project, as well as improved pedestrian areas in several areas on and surrounding the site. Gary Hartman asked about the topography change on the site. Mr. Mauriello confirmed that the site was extensively "bermed" and was not natural. The finished grade would be without the berms that currently exist (approximately 12 feet less). Mr. Schofield asked for a section of existing and finished grades, to be Shawn at the next meeting. Henry Pratt, with Gwa#hmey Pratt Schultz Architects, said that the plaza level grade (middle floor) of the duplexes would be equivalent in elevation to the pool area at the Marriott, currently. In summary, Mr. Mauriello asked for comments regarding the code amendment, the number of units proposed, etc, with a final hearing hopefully on Dec, 8. Jay Peterson spoke to the flexibility issue, stating that site coverage, landscaped area, and the distance between buildings was essentially the same regardless of the number of buildingsfunits proposed, commenting that smaller units would rent better. John Schofield opened the floor for Commissioner's comments. Rollie Kjesbo preferred that the units be similar in size to the homes across Gore Greek for continuity with. surrounding uses, but had no other specific comments. George Lamb mentioned that the procedural parts of the design should be finely detailed. The transition across the creek that would result from smaller units would be effective, He suggested more of a primarylsecondary concept than a duplex concept. The bike path should perhaps be leveled off and the parking should be gated or otherwise controlled. Erickson Shirley asked about the interaction between buses, cars, and pedestrians an certain areas of the site, with the Vail Spa side being the appropriate place for a sidewalk as it would avoid such interaction. He asked about the frequency of paths from the units to the bike path and the speed and visibility of the related traffic. Jay Peterson stated that each unit would have its own path, which would be made a part of the landscaping plan. Erickson Shirley asked about the designation of the parking spots, the maintenance of the paved surfaces (on and off-site), and other related issues. Jay Peterson mentioned that public vs. private improvements would not be addressed as such, but would occur synonymously. Gary Hartman stated that the location of the proposed improvements were effective due to the nature of the single-family and two-family residences on both sides of the creek.. He stressed the importance of the character of the duplexes due to their prominent location along the creek. Doug Cahill agreed that the location of the sidewalk on the north side of West Lionshead Circle seemed to make sense. He asked about the density per acre of the site. Dominic Mauriello stated that a specific density calculation had not been done far these units alone, but for the entire area. A minor subdivision plat would eventually be done to simplify the separate areas. Doug Cahill continued, saying that the transition between uses would be very important. What kind of criteria would be applied to these units should a tent amendment was granted to make single-family and two-family residences conditional uses? Jay Peterson said that any conditional use granted would be at the discretion of the Commission per the conditional use chapter of the Vail Code. Chas Bernhardt said that make single-family and two-family residences a conditional use was a good idea for this site. The lack of proposed density was good as long as issues like site coverage and other issues were addressed according to the type of residential development that resulted. The proposed circulation improvements were going to be substantial, he fnished. John Schofield had nothing new to add. Regarding the nature of the conditional use, language that followed residential guidelines would be suggested by the PEC. Russell Forrest stated that single-family and two-family residences would probably not result in any other Lionshead area and that compliance with the Lionshead Master Plan would be achieved. John Schofield stated that the PEC would like tv see the design of the proposed skier bridge, which Jay Peterson assured him would happen. The minimum and maximum number of units was not as important as the architectural character and the sizing. Several sections would be needed to clarify elevations and grades. A site plan that links buildings together and addressed the safety problems involved with the bike paths would also be needed. He continued by saying that circulation on the Vail Spa side would be preferable to what was currently being proposed on the south side of West Lionshead Loop. He requested that the applicant address that area now rather than later. Regarding tent amendments, sooner rather than later was also preferred in the interest of effectiveness. Erickson Shirley asked what redevelopment limitations would be applied to the site? Warren Campbell replied that redevelopment would occur only through an application to change or amend the conditional use permit if one were eventually granted. Dominic Mauriella stated that limitations could be imposed an the conditional use permit now. John Schofield replied that specific limitations would not be preferable now. Russell Forrest clarified that development statistics would be addressed for the entire lot, now and in the future, making these developments tied together in perpetuity. Dominic Mauriepo stated that a site plan of all three lots could be approved at the beginning, if the PEC agreed. MOTION: Chas Bernhardt SECOND: George Lamb VOTE: 7-0-0 Tabled until November 24, 2003 3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for proposed text amendments to Sections 12-6A-3, 12-68-3, 12-6C-3, 12-6D-3, 12-6E-3, 12-6F-3, 12-6G-3, 12-6H-3, and ~ 2-61-3, Vail Town Code, to allow a funicular as a conditional use in the Hillside Residential {HR), Single-Family Residential {SFR), Two-Family Residential (R), Two- Family PrimarylSecondary Residential {PJS}, Residential Cluster {RC), Law Density Multiple-Family {LDMF}, Medium Density Multiple-Family {MDMF}, High Density Multiple-Family {HDMF}, and Housing {H} Districts, and setting for details in regard thereto. Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Bill Gibson Bill Gibson introduced the project according to the staff memorandum. Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowner's representative, asked if any criteria should be attached to this conditional use. 'Bill Gibson replied that conditional use criteria already addressed issues like compatibility, visual impact, etc. Jim Lamont asked whether point-to-point gondolas would be addressed within this conditional use. Doug Gahill stated that a specific definition of funicular should be clarified, a comment that the other Commissioners agreed with. The comment surfaced that "or similar" wording be inserted to the definition of funicular. John Schofield asked again if a definition of funicular should be inserted into the text. Bill Gibson stated that a definition could be added QR the words "or others should be inserted. He added that the building department did not oversee this type of use at all, He asked the PEC if a distinction needed to be made that these funiculars are for private residential use.. Gary Hartmann had no further comments. Doug Cahill had no further concerns except regarding the clarifica#ion of the definition. Chas Bernhardt had no further comment. Rollie Kjesbo had no further comments. George Lamb had no further comments, John Schofield asked if the definition should be clarified or ifother"' sufficed. Bill Gibson stated that the latter would suffice. MC3TlQN: Rallis Kjesbo SECQN47: Chas Bernhardt VOTE: 1-0-t] ~kpproved • 4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council far proposed updates to the Elements of the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Elisabeth Eckel / Russ 1=arrest Elisabeth reviewed the staff memorandum and the staff recommendation for reviewing master plans. Jim Lamont mentioned the need for a Land Use Plan update. Jim suggested that the housing plan be integrated into the Land Use Plan. Jim also suggested that plans should be integrated on the web. Jim specificalPy mentioned the need to look a# different neighborhoods and to engage them in a dialogue on needs in their neighborhoods. John Schofield mentioned that the Lionshead Master Plan us an example of the good that can result from an updated Master Plan. Gary Hartmann stated that we need to integrate our master plans into one document and mentioned that a maintenance schedule of the plan should be included to ensure that updates occur. He also indicated that "the vision" 'ts important to clarify for the community, and referenced the need to Ivok at the frequency of multi-use residential areas and whether or not those are a part of the new vision. Mr. Hartmann also mentioned the need to increase the design review fees for long range planning as part of the development review process. Doug Cahill reiterated that the Land Use Plan is the priority anti that the overall vision is critical. Ghas Bernhardt agreed Gary and Doug. He agreed with Elisabeth's quote that redevelopment with a 20 yeas old vision is a hard thing to achieve. Rollie Kjesbo strongly agreed with the proactive approach to updating the Land Use Plan. George Lamb agreed with the importance of updating the Land Use Plan. Erickson Shirley suggested reviewing the goals and objectives of the existing plans and evaluating whether they are still pertinent. He also stated that coordination between TOV plans and County plans should occur. John Schofield agreed with 'his colleagues and summarized the next steps, stating his belief that the TC)V needs to articulate a vision. Currently, a real comprehensive plan does not exist. He suggested a computerized cross-referencing system and agreed with the idea of "scheduled Plan updates" in the fu#ure. Mr. Schofield mentioned that a vision, goals, and actions be addressed in front of the Council, with a good portion of the plan focusing on redevelopment. The new plans} should address the conflicts in the zoning regulations as well. Jim Lamont stated that there is a vision for Lionshead and Vail Village and that the focus should be placed on the rest of the community. John Schofield asked that Staff bring back a process far updating a Land Use Plan. Russell Forrest suggested that the next steps include a list of priorities far the new plans}, examples of comprehensive plans from other municipalities, and a time frame. Erickson Shirley believed that a good way to frame the upcoming action would be to state that at least a simple organization of the current plans was needed immediately. Jahn Schofield directed Staff to return for another worksession with clearer details. MOTION: Doug Gahill SECOND: George Lamb VOTE: 7-0-0 Tabled until December 8, 2003 5.

A funicular is an inclined tram-like vehicle on rails designed to move up and down very steep slopes. Funiculars are generally designed for the particular slopes, such that the seats andfor floors remains roughly horizontal. Although not specifically defined ar addressed by Vail's Zoning Regulations, funiculars have previously been approved within the Tawn of Vail as "access©ry uses" to residential dwelling • units. Due to recent neighborhood controversy overthe residential use of funiculars, the Vail Town Council has directed Staff to amend the provisions of Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Tawn Code, to allow a funicular as a conditional use, rather than an accessory use, in Vail's residential zone districts. The Town of Vail is proposing to amendment Sections 12-6A-3,12-fiB-3, 12-6C-3, 12-6D-3, 12-6E-3, 12-6F-3, 12-6G-3, 12-fiH-3, and 12-61-3, Vail Town Code, to a funicular a5 a conditional use in the Hillside Residential (HR}, Single-Family Residential (SFR), Two-Family Residential {R}, Two-Family PrimaryfSecandaryRestdential (PIS), Residential Cluster {RC), Low Density Multiple-Family (COME), Medium Density Multiple-Family (NOME}, High Density Multiple-Family (HOME}, and dousing (H) Districts.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria and factors for considera#ion for a request of a tent amendment are established in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-3, Vail Town Code (Ordinance No. 4, Series 2Ci02~. A. Consideration of Factors Reaardina the Text Amendment:. 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and Staff believes the proposed text. amendments are consistent with the general and specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations noted in Section V ofthis memorandum. Specifically related to Chapter 1 Z-16, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, a funicular is an uncommon residential use that exhibits special characteristics that warrant. additional consideration and review by the Town of Vail. By allowing a funicular as a conditional use, the zoning regulations provide the flexibility to allow such a use while ensuring the adequate review of such a special use. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the . 12 development objectives of the Town; and Since the current zoning regulations da not specifically define nor address the use of funiculars; Staff believes the proposed text amendments address an issue not contemplated with the initial adaption of the zoning regulations. Therefore, Staff believes that the proposed text amendments better implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and are compatible with the development objectives of the Town. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and. how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and Since the current zoning regulations do not specifically define nor address the use of funiculars; Staff believes the proposed text amendments address an issue not contemplated with the initial adaption of the zoning regulations. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives. A residential funicular is an uncommon and unique use that is not specifically addressed by the current zoning regulations. lay allowing a funicular as a conditional use, the Planning and Environmental Commission will be afforded the ability to review the special characteristics of a funicular on an individual case-by-case basis. The Planning and Environmental Commission will be able to evaluate a funicular in terms of operation (Le. hours of use, noise, lighting, etc.) and compatibility with the site and the neighboring properties. Additionally, the Planning and Environmental Commission may impose conditions and limitations on the use of a funicular to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Staff believes the proposed text amendments will better regulate the use at funiculars to provide a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal objectives. 5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission andfor Council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before fonnrardina a recommendation of aogroval for of a text amendment: 1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals,.. objectives and policies outlined in the /ail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Tawn; and 2.

Vail Land Use Plan The Vail Land Use Plan was initiated' in 1985 and adopted in 198fi by the Vail Town Council The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two-fold: 1. To articulate the land use goals of the Town. 2. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a basis from which future land use decisions may be made within the Tawn of Vail. The goals, as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted policy guidelines in the review process far new development proposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined to indicate general types of land uses which are then used to derrelop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature, but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision making. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. The West Qay Lot is identified as being a part of the Resort Accommodations and Services land use category. The Resort Accommodations and Services land use category states: This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short term visitor to the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures {with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented toward vehicular access from 1-70, with other support commercial and business services included. Also allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. I_ianshead Redevelflpment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted on December 15, 1998 by the Vail Town Council. "The master plan was initiated by the Town of Vail to encourage redevelopment initiatives within the Lionshead study area. Both public and private interests have recognized that Lionshead taday lacks the economic vitality of Vail Village, its neighboring commercial district, and fails to offer a world class resort experience. Lionshead's economic l6 potential has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes: lack of growth in accommodation units ("hot beds'), poor retail quality, the apparenf deterioration of existing buildings, an uninteresfing and disconnected pedestrian environment, mediocre architectural character, and the absence of incentives for redevelopmenf." There are several portions of the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan which reference the West Day Lot and make recommendations far the site. Below are several sections taken directly from the Master Plan. Ghapter 4 Master Plan Recommendations - Overall Study Area (in part) Section 4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead 4.1.5 West Lionshead _ ResidentiallMixed-Use Hub The western end of Lionshead, currently undeveloped, is home to parking Pots, the Vail Associates service yard, the Vail sanitation plant, the old town shops, and a gas station. Uses proposed by the community on this site in the past include increased parking, employee housing, office space, mountain service access, and an eastbound I-717 on- and off ramp. The master plan recommends that this hub become a residential) mixed use area with an emphasis on meeting the needs of the local community. Appropriate uses could include high density real estate development, lodging, community based affr'ce and retail space, employee housing and parking. The opportunity exists for a significant locals ar seasonal housing development in this area. To the extent possible development paffems in this area should reflect north-south orientation of buildings, visual penetrations to the mountain, and a pedestrian oriented environment. In addition there is the opportunity for an underground public parking facility. All service and delivery demands created by development in this area shall be accommodated on-site. The life will continue to accommodate the existing and potentially expanded functions of the Vail sanitation plant. The mountain service yard will be reduced in size, as some functions can be moved fo less central locations. However the area develops it is critics! that new uses be connected to the primary pedestrian corridors and that they 6e served by the Town of Vail in-town transit system. Section 4.8 Parking 4.8.'!.2 West Day iat The west day lot is also owned by Vail Associafes and is utilized primarily by mountain based Vai! Associafes employees. This site offers the possibility of ahigher-return development opportunity fhat may make other less profitable west end developmenfs feasible, and its existing use far parking is virtually cerfain to change. It is not anticipated thaf the 17 employee base utilizing This surface lot will decrease; Therefore, all the current parking (approximately 960 spaces) will have to be replaced. 4.8.3.3 Potential 1Vew Parking Sites b. Wesf Lionshead The construction a second public parking structure of The wesf end of Lionshead has beery a planning consideration since the completion of fhe Vail Transportation Master plan in 999?. This site is currenfly undeveloped (except for fhe Vail Associates maintenance yard) and is large enough to meet projected parking demand. !t is oval! located in relation to the potential new eastbound 1-TO access ramps. Potential logistical hurdles to the use of this site are as follows: Land Ownership. The entire potential parking structure life (see figure 4-94~ is located on Vail Associates and CI7OT property. Property acquisition from both entities wr`ll be required. • 5oufh Frontage Road ReaJignmenf. South Frontage Road must be realigned to free up a parcel large enough for a major parking facility. Competing Land Use Priorities. The wesf end of Lionshead teas also been identified as a priority employee housing locafian by the Town of Fail and Vail Associates. Although housing could be constructed an top of a parking structure, a below-grade facility would significantly increase construction costs and bring up several important timing issues. Cast. • Timing. The Lionshead master plan ground rules stipulafe that (here will be no nef loss of existing employee housing through redevelopment. Redevelopment of the core site by Vail Associates means thaf the existing employee housing in the Sunbird Lodge will have fo be replaced, mosf likely on the existing Vaif Associates service yard or Noly Cross site. This scenario puts a wesf Lionshead employee hausing prajecf at or near the fop of the Lionshead redevelopment Timeline. Depending on the sr'ze requirements of a new west Lionshead parking structure, it is possible That the realignment of the fronfage road and the construction of the parking facility would both have fo occur prior to fhe consfruefion of the housing project. !f the employee housing protect occurs first, which is more probable, the opportunity for a west end parkr'ng structure could be last, as The remaining available land may be too small for a structure of significant size. 1$ The second timing issue is the potential l-TO interchange at this location. Planning decisions regarding a future parking structure, housing, or an 1-70 interchange will have fa be made at the same time, or important opportunities may be lost. Convenience. This location far a major parking structure must have regular fransif or shuffle service because of its distance from the refail core area and the ski yard (greater than a 7200-foot walking radius). A map from the Master Plan is attached which depicts the potential' parking on the West Day Lot (Attachment Q). Chapter 5 Detailed Plan Recommendations (in part) 5.97 West ©ay Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yard/ Holy Cross Site Planning for fhe western end of Lionshead must consider two different scenarios.: the realignment of South Frontage Road and its retention in the existing alignment. Higher densities and building heights may be appropriate in Phis area, particularly to encourage the development of employee housing. However, any development must meet the overall character and visual intent of the master plan and be compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the Vail Spa. As depicted in figures 5-29 and 5-•22, realignmenf of South Frontage Road wi11 allow these properties to be consolidated for development while maintaining a transit connection through the property. Wifhin the consolidated parcel, there are four distinct sub-areas separated by location and land use. The first is the existing west day lot. This site has Gore Creek frontage, is removed from fhe frontage road, and is fhe most appropriate for ahigher--end fee simple or fractional fee development. The second, immediately adjacent to South Frontage Road, should have a strong relafionship with the first (potentially by a connecting "greenbelt" as shown in figure 5-24}, but ifs less desirable location suggests a different and potentially higher density product. Affordable housing should also be considered here to accommodate new employee generation. The third, west of the realigned Soufh Frontage Road, has been identified as an appropriate location for high density employee housing. The fourth has the longest road frontage and is the recommended location for a smaller Vail Associafes service yard. From this Iocafion, a snow cat access route to fhe mountain could be developed through the oId town shops site and across the river to fhe Cascade Ho ski trail. !f South Frontage Road is not realigned prior to buildout on this site, there would be a slight reduction in the amount of developable land north of fhe frontage road (see figure 5-23), and access points fo the properties might be different. Traffic flow patterns and transit vehicle access would be different. The removal of the cenfraf transit/ pedestrian corridor will necessitate either an additional west 19 Lionshead transit stop or the undesirable situation of people crossing the frontage road fo access a single transit stop. Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan In 1994, the Vail Town Council adopted the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify priorities for open space and recreation needs communicated by the citizens of Vail. The Comprehensive ©pen Lands Plan -Action Plan map identifies a portion of the West Day Lat site as "Undeveloped Parcel (Zoning Varies} Action Not Recommended". The Plan did pat reference or recommend any action with the existing site. VI. DISCUSSION ISSUES Purpose of the Meeting As was previously discussed, the purpose of this meeting is for the applicant to present the overall redevelopment proposal for southern portion of the West Day Lot and the applications associated with the proposal.
