Jay Peterson, representing the applicant, stated that the 3`d criterion used the word "scale" as it could be possible that in certain development proposals that homes could exceed 33 feet in height- Gary Hartman asked if criteria "a" could be interpreted to allow for the development of a solely single-family and two-family residential project.

II, DESCRIPTION ©1F REQUEST • The owners, Alan and Francine Peters, are requesting variances from Section 12-6D-6 Setbacks} and Title 14 Development Standards- locating required parking in the Right-of- Way), Vail Town Cade, to allow for a residential addition and remodel located at 2955 Bellflower Dr_ (Peters Chalet} /Lot 6, Block 6, Vail Intermountain. The applicant is requesting the front and side yard setback variances to allow for atwo-story addition which will wrap around the west and south sides of the existing home. In addition, there is a request for a variance from the requirement that all required parking be located on-site to allow for two vehicle parking spaces to be located within the Tawn right-of-way. A vicinity map is attached fior reference (Attachment A}. On March 26, 2001, the applicant received variance approvals for an application very similar to this current proposal. Due to the cost to construct the previous design the applicant is returning to the Planning and Environmental Camrnission to request the approval of a slightly modified proposal. The change has occurred on the second floor in the southwest corner of the master bedroom. A letter from the applicant (Attachment B} is included which describes the request in greater detail has been attached for reference, as have reductions of the proposal (Attachment G). The descriptions of the variances requested are as follows: Front Setback: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a front setback of 9 feet. The proposal includes approximately 118.7 square feet of new GRFA in the front setback and approximately 100 square feet of the garage within the front se#back. 2. Side Setback (west}: The applicant is requesting a side setback variance to allow far a west side setback of 9.5 feet. The proposal includes approximately 128 square feet of new GRFA and approximately 29 square feet of the proposed garage in the west setback. 3. Side Setback (east): The applicant is requesting a side setback variance to allow for an east side setback of 11.8 feet. The proposed addition on the east side of the structure includes approximately 2'5 square feet of GRFA in east side setback. This setback is currently non-conforming, with a setback of 11.8 feet. 4. Parking in the right-of-way: The applicant is requesting a variance from the requirement that all required parking must be located on site, The residence requires a total of 5 parking spaces {3 for primary and 2 fior ENt!}. One of the parking spaces encroaches up to 9 ft. into the right-af-way.. III. BACKGROUND The original pleat for this property was recorded in 1970 when the property was located in unincorporated Eagle County. The existing structure was constructed in 1977 under county regulations requiring side yard setbacks of five feet. When the property was annexed into the Town of Vail under Qrdinance 15 in 1987 it was zoned Primary Secondary District with a minimum side yard of 15 feet. pn t~lovember 2, 1983, this lot received approval to construct a secondary deed restricted unit on the iot~ At the time, the regulations required that 50% of the required parking be enclosed. The applicant received a variance from this requirement. The variance was granted based an the difficulty of building a garage on the site, specifically the Planning and Environmental Commission found, "the garage would tend to overcrowd the lot and would impair the common open space between the residence and the residence to the west." On March 26, 2001, the Planning and environmental Commission approved both setback and parking variances far this property. This application varies slightly from that previous approval in that there is additional GRFA in the front setback. The previous approval as expired. On February 7, 2002, the Design Review Board approved the design on the home based on the approved variances from March 26, 2003.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. Consideration of Fartrlrs Reoardinn the Setback Variances: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Setbacks: When this proposal was reviewed and approved on March 26, 2001, the applicant modified their proposal to reduce the extent of the encroachment into the setback along the west property line to a minimum of 9.5 ft. This includes 128 square feet of GRFA and 29 square feet of garage in the west side setback. Staff believes that the applicant worked to reduce the setback encroachment which will allow for additional landscaping, thus reducing the impact of the proposed addition to other structures in the vicinity, most notably, the structure to the west. The front setback was increased by the applicant when under review by the Planning and Environmental Commission and was approved to be 9 feet. This includes 118.7 square feet of GRFA and 100 square feet of garage. Due to the configuration of the right-of-way of this lot, staff believes that there will be minimal impacts an existing or potential structures in the vicinity. The existing structure is currently 11.8 feet from the east property line. This proposal does not increase the encroachment but does add 25 square feet ofi GRFA on the east elevation. Staff does not believe this minimal addition on the east elevation will negatively impact the neighboring property. Parkina in the riaht-of-wav: The proposed parking in the right-of-way encroaches up to 11 ft, into the right-of-way. Due to the configuration of the lot and the applicant's at#empt to minimize the encroachment, staff believes that the proposed parking in the right-af-way will have no effect on structures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. While in the review process previously the applicant revised the plans, minimizing the encroachment into the front and side setbacks in order to receive a vats of approval far the variances. sy designing a one-car garage, the applicant has increased the west side setback from 3 fleet to 9.8 feet and the front setback from 8 feet to ~ feet. Staff does not believe this variance request to be a grant of special privilege. The size, configuration, existing structure, and 50 ft. stream setback are ail physical hardships on this lot which greatly restrict the ability of improvements to be made to the structure without a variance- The lot is nonconforming with regards to lot size and the house currently encroaches into the front and side setbacks. Many of the • 8 C • structures in the neighborhood have simiiar encroachments into the setbacks (see below}, ~ Location Description of the site 2923 Bellflower Nonconforming 4-plea approved by Eagle County.

The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The modification to the proposal has eliminated the structure from the existing 5 foot drainage easement. The Public Works Department will accept a revocable right-of-way permit for the improvements proposed within that easement and for the parking in the right-of-way. Staff does not believe that the variance will have a negative effect on the factors listed above. • 9 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. The Planning and Environmental Commission shalt make the following findings before granting a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. IX. STAFF RECOMMENQATION The Community Development Department recommends approval of the requests for variances from Section 12-6D_g (Setbacks} and Title 14 (Development Standards locating required parking in the Right-af-VVay), Vail Town Code, to allow for a residential addition and remodel located at 2855 BelPflower Dr. Peters Chalet) J Lot 6, Block 6, Vail Intermountain. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria in Section Vll I of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings: That the granting of the variances does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the Pr'rmarylSecondary Residential Zone District. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the setback regulations results F in a practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the development objectives of the Town Cade or the PrimarylSecandary Residential done District. t0 4. Thai the strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. Should the Planning and Environmental Comm'rssian choose to approve the variance requests, staff recommends the following conditions: That prior to final design review approval, the applicant provides a landscape plan which includes provisions to adequately buffer the surface parlfing area from adjacent properties. 2. That the applicant submits a revocable right-of-way permit to Public Works for all improvements located within the drainage easement and right-of-way prior to issuance of the building permit. 3. That the applicant shall submit a foundation Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) upon completion of the installation of the foundation walls and a framing ILC prior to a framing inspection for review and approval by staff in order to verify compliance with the approved variances.

Publication Notice • t7 • ~~ Qctober 23, 2003 Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Rnad Vail, Colorado USA 81657 Attention: 11~1r. Warren Camnbell Dear Sir: RL: FRONT YARD SETBACK VAR.fANCE FOR PETERS CHALET 2955 BELLFLOWER DRIVE VA)1L, CULURADO Attached is the remainder of our application for a variance fnr the Peters Chalet, 295 ~ Bellflower Drive, Vail, Colorado. As you are aware, the existing two-storey frame chalet is significantly within tl~e front yard and both side ~•ard setbacks on this property. The front yard setback, particularly t.~wards the western portion of the property, is considerably skewed from the actual street line being almost 30' back from the street line whereas the front yard setback at the eastern edge of the property is approximately one yard from the street line. Obviously, this would make the existing dwelling seem to be correctly situated on the property, however, in developing and enlarging this existing chalet, which OIlIy 17aS allerwable building space to the west, this problem becol-nes greatly exacerbated when the actual front yard setback. is placed on the property. This is evident as i~7dicated on the site plan submitted, Drawing S-l submitted with this application. Early in 2001, the Town of Vai] and the Design Review Board granted us pennissian to build the chalet with an intrusion into the front yard setback. The front portion of the ne~rf addition, constructed to the west of the existing dwelling, consists of a garage on the main level and bedroom additions on the second level. The bedroom additions are not aligned v+•ith the garage and in fact are considerably setback from the rear addition. In our origirtak application. to the Design Review Board, we cut back a portion of the existing chalet on t17e secand flaor, however, a new portico was added in front of the chalet, wl7icl~ intruded into the front yard setback. This is as indicated on our Drawing A-4. Although the second floor of the existing chalet was cut back approximately f ve feet, the secand floor over the new addition was cut back even further. Subsequent to being granted this variance and approval by the Design Review T3oard, we proceeded to prepare contract documents for application for building permit and for pricing. In reviewing the extent '~ i'eter Archer & Associates, Architect Architect, lJrban & Regional Planners, Project IWlanagers 78A Mulcaster Street, Barrie, Ontario, I..4M 3M4 Phone; (705) 735-9544 Fax; {705) 735-9541 E-Mail; parcherassociates~rogers.cam At#achmen#: S of the work required for this second floor outback, it was realized that the entire roof and a substantial portion of the second floor would have to be removed to accommodate this change. The structural implications to accommodate this revision to the second floor were substantial and onerous and were extensive throughout the entire house including the basement foundation work. As a result, our client is requesting that we approach the Tawn of Vail with penr~ission to leave the existing seoond floor of the chalet as is, which would allow for the existing roof to remain, and negate the need for the extensive structural modifications. As th:~ is already an existing structure intruding into the front yard setback, which is skewed from the street line, we believe this to be a minor request. In preparing the alternate elevations for this request for a variance, we are of the opinion that this revision has very little impact on the original proposed elevation. This change as indicated by the double hatching on our drawing A-3, Revision 6. The seoond portion of the variance we are requesting is an additional 18" in interior space for the second floor only. This is indicated by the single hatching on Drawing A-3, Revision 6. The reason for this chance is that while quite minimal in impact, if will result in a more reasonable width to the Master Bedroom. Currently, the width which would be approximately l l Y:' which is less than adequate for a master bedroom suite, such as is envisioned by these renovations. The new bedroom width would be l3', which is reasonable for a Master bedroom suite. The additional area is being requested at the front of the chalet as the interior wall of the Master Bedroom is the main load bearing wall for the interior of t17e chalet which, if altered would also have major structural implications as the wall and the adjacent stair would have to be relocated. VVe believe this variance to be a minor request as the overall intent and approach to the renovation of this chalet is substantially the same as that previously approved by the Town of Vail, Planning Department and tl~e Design Review Board_ As well, please keep in mind, this revision requested is on the second floor only, there is no further grade level revision required or anticipated. We would also like to point out that the original application and submission to the Design Review Board did not use all the allowable square footage for ibis property. Even though additional square footage, approximately 90 + square feet is being added by this revision, we would like to not that we are still within the allowable square footage for this property. This requested variance has very little implication or change to any of the adjacent structures, either to their use or potential. uses. The relief we are requesting in order to keep the second flour of t}~e existing dwelling has no change on adjacent properties as this area is already within the building. We are si~r-ply requesting that we not be required to cut the building back on tl~e second float. Therefore, this has no affect on adjacent properties. `l'he second variance we are requesting is the additional 18" an the second floor over the new garage. As the existing dwelling is already 10' from the western property line in this area and the proposed further incursion into the front yard setback is only ] $", this has little or no affect onto the adjacent property. The house to the west? which would be mast directly affected, is not directly placed on the adjacent property but in fact is approximately 20' - 34' away from the property line. There would be nn change to shading, air, distribution of population, transportation, utilities, etc, or anything by either of these revisions.

This would therefore preserve the street trine and edge- As stated above, eve believe this variation to be quite minor in nature as we are within the allowable square footage allowed by the i°iunicipality, a substantial portion of the variance we are requesting is already built, and the additions! square footage over the garage is minimal, being approximately 26.45 square feet.

A mare complete description of this proposal included in "Lionshead Redevelo~rnent: 1Nest Dav Lot *'. dated November 3, 2003, which has been attached for reference (Attachment B}. Ill. BACKGROUND The subject property includes several parcels of land currently used for the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort, the parking structure for the Vail Marriot Mountain Resort, and employee parking for Vail Resorts. The Marriott (previously "The Mark"} was approved by the Town in 1977 as a hotel and condominium project and was zoned Special Development District No. 7 by Ordinance 3, Series of 1977. The project was expanded and modified throughout the 19$0's and 1990's. In 1999 the Marriott property, along with the rest of Lionshead, was rezoned to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 and SDD No. 7 was repealed. The Marriott as developed today includes 35 dwelling units, 276 hotel rooms, meeting rooms, a restaurant, and other hotel amenities. The western portion of the site (the Marcus Subdivision}, known as the West Day Lot, was regraded and used for Vail Resorts employee parking. Prior to the rezoning of this parcel to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 in 1999, the property was zoned Parking District. C]n November 10, 2003, the Planning and Environments! Gommission conducted 2 a work session with the applicant to discuss the 1 g proposed residential structures an the southern portion of the West Day Lot. In general, the Commission was pleased with the scale of the residences as they are in close proximity to the Gore Creek and the existing residences on West Forest Road. IV.

V. APPLICABLE PLANKING DOCUMENTS Title 12, Zonina Reaulations. Vail Town Cade _ __.. 12-7H Lianshead Mixed Use? (LMU-1}District (in part) 12-7N-1: PURPOSE: The Lianshead Mixed Use 1 District is intended to provide sites far a mixture of multiple-family dwellings, Lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, time shares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified development. Lianshead Mixed Use 1 District, in accordance with the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. This district is meant fo encourage and pravide incentives far redevelopment in accordance with the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan.. This Zone District was specifically devefoped to pravide incentives for properties fa redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant lodging, pausing, and commercial care area. The incentives in this Zane District include increases in allowable grass residential floor area, building height, and density over the previously established zoning !n the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment consistent with the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public off-site improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any developmenUredevelapment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created herein, the fallowing amenities will be evaluated: streetscape improvements, pedestrianfbiaycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements. f2-7N-5: GQIVDITIGNAL USES; GENERALLY (ON ALL LEVELS OF A BUILDING CSR C?UTSID~E OF A BUILDING): The fallowing conditional uses shaft be permitted, subject to issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1 fi of this Title: Bed and breakfast as further regulated by Section 12- i4-18 of this Title. Brew pubs. Coin-operated laundries. Commercial storage. Private outdoor recreation facilities, as a primary use. Public buildings, grounds, and facilities. Public ar private parking lots. Public park and recreation facilities. Public utility and public service uses. Single-family and two-family residential dwellings. Ski lifts and tows. Television stations. Additional uses determined described in this subsection,. Section 12-3-4 of this Title. to be similar to conditional uses in accordance with the provisions of • n LJ 4 12-1f Conditional Use Permits (in part) 12-1fi-7: Use Specific Criteria And Standards: The following criteria and standards shall be applicable to the uses listed below in consideratian of a conditional use permit. These crr"teria and standards steal! be in addition to the criteria and findings required by section 12-76-6 of this chapter A. Uses And Criteria: 11. Single-family and two-family dwellings. in the Lionshead Mixed Use t ,zone district: Shale-.family or two-family residential dwellings shall 6e allowed when: a. Develpped as part of a coordinated mixed-use development: b. The low-densityY residential scale is adyanfaaeous to create compatibility with or a transition to other low density residential development in the vicinity: c. The single-family and twa-family residences are designed to the general scale and character of residences in other single-family and twa-family zone districts, and d. The proposed development is consistent with the intent and obiectives of the Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 1/ail Land Use Plan The Vail Land Use Plan was initiated in 1985 and adopted in 1986 by the Vaii Town Council. The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two-fo6d: 1. To articulate the land use goals of the Town. ~. 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 for 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 making. 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. l'rirnary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling '~ units or 5t? accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented toward vehicular access from 1-70, with other support commercia! and business services included. Also allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Pian The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Pian was adopted on December 15, 1998 by the Vail Town Council. "The master plan was initiated 6y the Town of Vail to encourage redevelopment initiatives within the Lionshead study area. Both public and private interests have recognized that Lionshead today lacks the economic vitality of Vail Village, its neighboring commercial district, and fails to offer a world class resort experience. Lianshead's economic potential has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes: lack of growth in accommodation units ("hot beds'), poor retail qualify, 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 4 Master Plan Recommendations -Overall Study Area (in part) Section 4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead 4.7.5 West Lionshead ~- ResidentiallMixed-Use Hub The western end of Lionshead, currently undeveloped, is home to parking lots, the Vail Associates service yard, the Vail sanitation plant,. the old town shops, and a gas station. Uses proposed by the community an this site in the past include increased parking, employee housing, office space, mountain service access, and an eastbound 1-70 on- and otf-ramp. The master plan recommends that this hub become aresidential/ 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 pausing and parking. The opportunity exists for a significant locals ar seasonal housing development in this area. To the extent possible development patterns in this area should reflect Werth-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 faculty. All servr'ce and delivery demands created by development in this area shall be accommodated on-site. b 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 be connected to the primary pedestrian corridors and that they be served by the Town of Vail in-town transit system. Section 4.8 Parking 4.8.'1.2 West Day Loot The west day lot is also owned by Vail Associates and is utilized primarily by mountain based Vail Associates employees. This site offers the passibility of ahigher-return development opportunity that may make other less profitable west end developments feasible, and ifs existing use far parking is virtually certain to change. It is not anticipated that the employee base utilizing this surface lot will decrease; therefore, all the current parking (approximately 760 spaces) will have to be replaced. 4.8.3.3 Potential New Parklrrg Sites 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 7991. This site is currently undeveloped (except for the Vail Associates maintenance yard) and is large enough fo meet projected parking demand. If is well located in relatr'an to the potential new eastbound 1-70 access ramps. Potential logistical hurdles to the use of this site are as follows: Land Ownership. The entire potential parking structure site (see figure 4-74) is located on Vail Associates and CC1OT property. Property acquisition from both entities will be required. South Frontage Road Realignment. South Frontage Road must be realigned to free up a parcel large enough for a major parking facility. Competing Land Use Priorities. The west end of Lionshead has also been identified as a priority employee housing location by the Town of Vail and Vail Associates. Although housing could be constructed an top of a parking structure, a below-grade facr`lity would significantly increase construction costs and bring up severe] important timing issues. Cost. • Timing. The Lionshead master plan ground rules stipulate that there will be no net loss of existing employee housing 7 through redevelopment. Redevelopment of the core site by '~ Val! Associates means that the existing employee housing in the Sunbird Lodge will have to 6e replaced, mast likely on the existing Vai! Associates service yard ar Haly Grass site. This scenario puts a west Llonshead employee housing project at or near the top of the Llanshead redevelopment timeline. Depending an the size requirements of a new west Lionshead parking structure, it is possible that the realignment of the frontage road and the construction of the parking facility would both have to occur prior to the construction of the housing project. !f the employee housing project occurs first, which is mare probable, the opportunity far a west end parking structure could be lost, as the remaining available land may be too small far a structure of significant size. The second timing Issue Is the potential 1-70 r`nterchange of this location. Planning decisions regarding a future parking structure, housing, ar an 1-70 Interchange will have to be made at the same time, ar Important opportunities may be lost Convenience. This location for a major parking structure musf have regular transit or shuttle service because of its distance from the retail core area and the ski yard (greater than a 72110-foot walking radius1. Chapter 5 Defailed Plan Recommendations (in part) 5.77 West Day Lot/ Vai! Associafes Service Yard/Holy Cross Site Planning far the western end of Llonshead must consider two different scenarios: the realignment of South Frontage Raad and ifs retention in the existing 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 pfan and be compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the Vail Spa. As depicted in figures 5-27 and 5-22, realignment of South Frontage Raad will allow these properties to be consolidated for development while maintaining a transit connectr`on through the property. Within fhe consolidated parcel, there are four distinct sub-areas separated by location and land use. The first is the existing west day lat. This site has Gare Creek frontage, is removed from the frontage road, and is the mast appropriate far ahigher-end fee simple or fractional fee development. The second, immediately adjacent to South Frontage Road, should have a strong relationship with the first (potentially by a connecting `greenbelt" as shown in figure 5-24,1., but its less desirable location suggests a different and potentially higher densify 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 art appropriate location for high density employee housing. longest read frontage and is the recommended location Associates service yard. From this location, a snow cat mountain could be developed through the old town shops river to the Cascade Ha ski trail. The fourth has the for a smaller Vai! access route to the site and across the if 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 frontage road (see figure 5-23), and access paints to the properties might be different. Traffic flow patterns and transit vehicle access would be different. The removal of the central transit/ pedestrian corridor will necessitate either an additional west Lionshead transit stop or the undesirable situation of people crossing the frontage road fa access a single transit stop. Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan In 1994, the Vail Tawn Council adopted the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify priorities far open space and recreation needs communicated by the citizens of Vail. 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. • VI.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Text Amendment: Before acting on an application for an amendment to the regulations prescribed in this title, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendments: 7. The extent to which the text amendments further the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulatiions; and The proposal to add single-family and two-family residential dwellings as a conditional use within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations by providing a restricted opportunity to introduce smaller scale single-family and two-family residential dwellings when they are associated with a larger planned development. The text amendments to Section 12-16-7, Use Specific Criteria and Standards, Vail Town Code, are the result of feedback received from the Planning and Environmental Commission to establish a set of criteria and standards by which to review any future requests for single- family and two-family conditional use permits. Staff believes the proposed text amendments provide structure to guide this and future applications for conditional use permits to construct single-family and two-family residential dwellings. 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 development objectives of the town; and 10 Staff believes that the proposed text amendments to the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District will further the goals and objectives outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan which are found in Section V of this memorandum. The text amendment proposed to Section 12-16-7, Use Specific Criteria and Standards, Vail Town Code, if approved, would afford applicants the ability to propose smaller scale single-family and two-family residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use development which can allow for compatibility and transition between adjoining properties. The incorporation of single-family and two-family residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use proposal will provide the possibility of designing redevelopment proposals which will establish a more consistent development fabric throughout Lionshead when some properties choose to redevelop and others do not. 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 The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted by the Town Council on December 15, X998 and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district was adopted in 1999 fo serve as guides and incentives for the redevelopment of Lionshead. Since the Plan and zone district were adopted there have been minimal projects proposed and approved within the Lionshead redevelopment area. The proposed amendments demonstrate that the potential to utilize single-family and two-family residential structures as part of a design proposal can be beneficial to creating a coordinated and harmonious project in terms of its relationship to adjoining properties. The proposed amendments ta9se the objectives and goals of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District one step further in providing the tools necessary to encourage the appropriate redevelopment of Lionshead.. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and The proposed text amendments to the Lionshead Mixed Use ~ District will allow far the design of proposed redevelopment projects to be more harmonious with the neighboring properties. The addition of single-family and two-family residential districts as a conditional use will allow applicants to propose small scale residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use development which will relate more harmoniously with adjacent properties and land uses. Staff believes that the proposed text amendments give the Planning and Environmental Commission the control they expressed they wanted to have at the November 10, 2043 meeting to determine the acceptability of single-family and two-family residential dwellings. The requirements for reviewing a conditional use permit to utilize single-family and two-family residential structures in proposals provides the authority to the Planning and Environmental Commission to review each redevelopment proposal and determine the appropriateness of the ll .~ incorporation of single-family and two-family residential structures into the deveopment. In addition, the proposed text amendments will facilitate the goal of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district to encourage redevelopment within Lionshead_ 5. Such ether factors and criteria the commission andlor council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. Before recommending andlor granting an approval of an application for a text amendment the planning and environmental commission and the town council shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment: (1) That the amendments are consistent with 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 (2} That the amendments further the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and (3} That the amendments promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promote 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.

The document discusses the entire West Day Lot project as the entire site is being proposed as one overall coordinated plan with all development standards applied to the entire parcel. The project far which approval is currently being sought is the low-density residential development on the south edge of the praperty; the Gore Creek Residences. This plan includes up to 20 dwelling units in duplex structures.. The duplex units can be developed in several formats as there are two floor plans proposed; one layout of approximately 2,600 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 14 units (all larger units) or anywhere between (some big and same small}.

DETAILED PR©JECT OVERVIEW (flverall Development Site) The West Day Lot. is located within an area identified by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan far resort lodging anal reside:ntiaUmixed use development. This site is being redeveloped as a logical extension of the existing Marriott Hotel with Iadging and residen#ial uses at a scale that mitxars that of the existing neighborhood. This development project includes both the West Day Lat and Marriott properties as one overall project site. The Master Plan identified this neighborhood as a more 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. ~. Hotel Building -North and South Elevations 't • Vai] Resorts -- The Redevelopment of Lionshead 2 1. Existing Conditions The project site is currently developed with the Harriett Hotel, an open air parking structure which serves the Marriott Hotel, and. an unpaved surface employee parking lot with a capacity of 160 parking spaces. The site has been re-graded aver the years creating man-made berms and slopes. The Marriott Hotel currently contains 276 newly renovated hotel roams, 3S dwelling units, a 4,500 sq. ft. restaurant, and meeting rooms. Site improvements include tennis courts and a swimming pool. 2. Uverview of Project -Entire WDL • Design Concept The redevelopment of the West Day Lat builds upon the success ofthe newly redeveloped i~lamatt Hotel (276 hotel rooms and 35 dwelling units} by proposing a new hotel and residential development on the remainder of the site. The praj ect provides a transition from the high density lodging facilities along West Lianshead Circle to a lew- rise and low density duplex style development along Gore Creek, as suggested in the Lianshead Redevelaprnent Master flan. This transition is important due to the law density residential uses that exist an the south side of Gare Creek. The project includes attention to the design guidelines including the prevision of stepbacks and the transition of wall planes and materials as directed by the Lianshead design guidelines. The proposed plan implements many ether goals of the Master Plan including concealing parking in subsurface structures, developing residential and lodging uses in this area of Lianshead, developing pedestrian connections to the core of Lianshead, and rneeting all of The design standards and guidelines- Project Components The new hotel building includes 90 hotels rooms (44 are hotel lock-offs), 113 dwelling units, meeting rooms, 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 glow-density residential development an the south side of the site containing up to 20 dwelling units in up to l Otwo-family structures. These homes are accessed via a subsurface parking area connecting to West Forest Road. Zoning Text Amendment The Lianshead Mixed Use 1 zone district does not list single-family ar two-family residential structures as a permitted ar conditional use. At the time this zone district was drafted, there was not much thought given to these low density use as there did not seem to be a logical location in the Lianshead area to allow such levv-density residential uses. Through careful planning of the West Day Lot Vail Resorts discovered that low-density Vai] Resorts - Tl~e R~d~velopment of Lionshcad • residential uses would be advantageous to create a transition from more intensive lodging uses to the law-density residential neighborhoods adjacent to the site. Therefore, Vail Resort's is propasing a text amendment to the Lionshead Mixed. Use 1 zone district to allow single-family and two-fanuly residential structures as a conditional use. This amendment will allow the proposed Gore Creek Residences to be approved by the Planning and Environmental 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 locations for single-family and twp-family uses within Lianshead. • • Vari Resorts -The Redevelopment of Lianshead 4 ~~ ~~4~ ~''' - _5 ~.~•i ~k. ,4 _, L+~ ti~~~ ' ~ i '~,, ' f-~--~ ~~~, ~ , ~ . ti a ,~ ~ • 3.

I1~Taster Plan Policy A ground-rule was established during the master planning process for .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 17ay Lot and the North Day Lot) must be replaced if displaced by new development. Section 3.9 "Parking" of the Master Plan provides an "assessment of existing parking conditions." That section goes an to identify the North Day Lot and the West Day Lot as existing employee parking areas containing 1d5 and 1b0 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 Vest Day Lot. All proposed development projects {i.e., the ItiTorth Day Lot, the Core Site, the West Day Lot, and the Tennis Court Site} provide all of the parking required far the uses proposed. Displaced employee parking may be accommodated in the follov,•ing ways and on the following sites: as surface parking located on the Maintenance CenterlHoly Crass Site or in conjunction with a parking program utilizing Vail resorts property located near the Mintum exit of I-70. A specific employee parking replacement. plan and program will be provided by Vail Resorts prior to approval of the proposed Lionshead redevelopment projects.

Conditional Use Permits --Location n_ f retail_ lo~i~P units. dwellian~ units, and rrzeetinq rooms and Conditional Use Fcrmit for the Gore Creek.Resdences: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Analysis; The proposed uses are part of an overall coordinated development plan for the West .Day Lot. All of the proposed uses are consistent with those uses and activities identified by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan for Chas locatian. The plan specifically recommends hotels and other residential development in this area of Lionshead. Additionally, the Master Plan and zoning regulations recognae the need for customary and accessory 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 no negative impact associated with lodge rooms and condomanaa~ms on the f rst level of the building. The propasedsingle-~camily residences are being located in an area of the site which as adjacent to Core Creek and the low density homes directly across the creek. The proposed homes will create a transition or buffer from the more intensive uses in Linr~.shead to the less dense uses on West Forest Road, The proposed uses and their locations within the building are consistent with the Town's development ol~jeetives for this area of Lionshead. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs_ Analysis.` The proposed uses will have little if any effect on these criteria. Except for the meeting rooms, the other uses are conditional for locataonal reason, meaning • Vaii Resorts -The Redeye}opmeni of Lionshead - - i 3 that they are normally permitted uses on the property but due to their location in the building they are conditional. The proposed locations for a restaurant, condominiums, and lodge roams will therefore have nn effect on the listed criteria. The meeting rooms are accessory to the hotel function and therefore da not generate additional traffic, produce additional permanent population, ar have effect an the Town 's infrastructure. The new condominiums and Gare 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 firll-time 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 flour and control, access, maneuverability, and rezxzoval of snow from the street and parking areas. Analvsi,s: The proposed redevelopment project and proposed conditional uses will improve the traff c circulation to and from the site and within the property. All of the required par>;~ng and loading for the project is located below grade in a two-level structure. Access to the site comes directly from West Lionshead Circle and Forest Road similar to the existing condition but greatly improved by reducing conflicts and removing surface parking areas. The landing areas are accessed directly from the South Frontage road into a below grading loading area. All of the driveti~~ays, drive aisles, and loading areas meet the Town's development standards. The proposed plan separates pedestrians and vehicles to the greatest degree p©ssible thus creating safe enviranrnent far pedestrians. driveways and parking areas are either heated or located underground,• therefore snow removal will not be necessary. The proposed plan adequately addresses all of the issues raised by this criterion. ~. Effect upon the character of the area ire which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses- Analysis: ~ The proposed uses and structures are being developed in canforntance with the development standards established by caning. The proposed uses and structures i also comply wish the direction provided in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposed uses will provide needed accommodations within the west end of Lionshead. The bulk and scale of structures is consistent with that envisioned by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the design guidelines adapted therein. The proposed uses are consistent with those uses and structures located on adjacent sites, as adjacent sites are developed with residential and lodging uses.

The extent to which the text arr~endment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and Analysis: The proposed amendment to the Lionshead Mixed Llse 1 zone district will specifically further the goals of the zoning regulations by providing an opportunity for site specific review by the Planning and Environmental Commission of lr~w-density residential development within the Lionshead area. This amendment allows an applicant and the Town to consider lnw-density residential development 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 Lionshead area. The 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 for 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 ofthe adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the fail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives. of the town; and Analysis: The proposed text amendment will allow single family and two family development to be considered by the Planning and Environmental Commission within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district as a conditional use. While lo~v- density residential develaprnent 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 case with the YY'est 17ay Lot. The proposed text amendment wiCl better implement the goals and objectives of the Town by allowing the opportunity for the Planning and Environmental Commission to consider low-density residential development in logical areas that promote compatibility rather that a wholesale prohibition of the use. • Vai] ResoRS - Tk~e h cclevelopment of Lionshead 1 S • 3. The extent to which the text amendment. demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the sub}ect regulation and how the existing regulation is na longer appropriate or is inappIicabie, and Analysis: The proposed text amendment is necessary to correct a wholesale prohibition of a use that has merit in the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district.

MASTER PL:'~..~T GOI~;SIDERATIQNS The Town of Vail established six policy objectives to serve as the framework for the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposed Vail Resorts Development Company redevelopment projects implement those 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 ofthe existing Surtbird and Gondola buildings in the heart of Lionshead, there will be a wholesale change in the character of the Lionshead Coro. The redeveloped sites will provide a warmer mare 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. 'B. 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 afive-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 Betts The proposed redevelopment projects include two new hotel facilities where none exist today. Bath hotel facilities include traditional hotel rooms, hotel lack-off units, and condominiums. The hotel lock-off units and condominiums are to be included in a rental pragrartt 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. D. Improved Access and Circulation The access and circulation within Lionshead is somewhat dvsfunctional. 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, shiers, and shoppers. Additionally, buildings are being redeveloped at more of pedestrian scale and with uses that will drativ pedestrians through the Lionshead area. Vehicular circulation is improved tiuith the Vail Resorts -The Redevelopment of Lic~nshea~i 17 • addition of below grade parking and loading facilities which helps to separate vehicles and pedestrians, The redevelopment projects will improve access and circulation for all modes of transportation. E. Improved Infrastructure The proposed redevel.,Y«~ent projects will help to improve the overall physical infrastructure of Lionshead. The projects provide for below grade parking and loading areas thus improving capacity and aesthetics of these functions. Streetscape improvements such as sidewalks, walkways, and new streets are included in the amenities being proposed far the redeveloped sites. Vail Resorts has provided the opportunity for the Town of Vail to provide a transit center on the North l3ay Lat 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 Enhanced Private Profits and Public Reveanues Vail Resorts is utilizing a series of financing tools in order to redevelop these properties in Lionshead. Capital is being generated from portions of all of the sites including the Tennis Court Site, the proposed Gore Creek Residences on the West Day Lot, and from the condominium components of the proposed hotels. Without these sources of capital, the redevelopment of Lionshead would not be possible.

Meadow Drive I Tract B, Vail Village 1St Filing. Applicant; Vail Mountain Lodge LLC, represented by Braun Associates, Inc. Planner: George Ruther I 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 Vaii 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. _,~i'`~ ~, T(11'#,~' OF YAIL ~' Dominic Mauriello said that everything 'but the access area to the back of the site had been completed. Erickson Shirley asked if there was going to be a separate boiler 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 a# the Mountain Haus. He requested that the structure should not be higher than 4'. John Schofield asked what the Code required far 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 chose. Mr. Alpenalp said that confrmatian of the height was at 4'. Russell Forrest stated that the Vail Village Master Plan did state that pedestrian environments, etc. were addressed in relation to the enclosure of outdoor dining decks. ,John Schofeld opened the floor for Commissioner's comments. DougCahill 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 possible. Regarding the chimney, he mentioned that the iPEC 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 for temperature reasons, He asked Mr. Forrest if there were any improvements aside from the heated areas that were in question. Russ Forrest said that that was the main issue. Rollie Kjesbo stated that as long as the elevator vent did not ex#end more 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 length of time that disruption would exis# 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 that 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. MOTION: Doug Cahill SECOND: George Lamb VOTE: 6-0-1 (Hartmann recused} CONDITIONS: 1) change in finishing improvements from June 15 to Nov. 1 2004 Z) 4' height of roof vent noted on plans 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for 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 Qistrict. A request for a conditional use permit,. pursuant to 5ectian 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses; Generally {on all levels of a building or outside a building}, Vail Town Cade, and a request for a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7, Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Cade, to allow for the construction of twelve new single- family and two-family residen#ial 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 Code, to allow for a private parking lot, located at 734, 724, and 714 West Lionshead Circle/Tracts A, B, C, & D, Morcus Subdivision and Lot 7, Marriott Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (West Day Lot) 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 26(]0 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, far 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 that the Lionshead Master Plan placed an compatibility and the similarity between these proposed units and Chase 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 an and surrounding the site. Gary Hartmann 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 shown at the next meeting. Henry Pratt, with Gwathmey Pratt Schultz Architects, said that the plaza level grade tmiddle 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 essen#ially the same regardless of the number of buildingslunits 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 tha# would result from smaller units would be effective. He suggested more of a primary/secandary 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 abou# the interaction between buses, cars, and pedestrians on 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. privyte 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 Gircle 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 for these units alone, but fnr 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 text amendment was granted #o 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. i Chas Bernhardt said that make single-family and two-family residences a conditional use was a goad idea for this site. The Eack of proposed density was good as long as issues like site coverage and other issues were addressed according to the type at residential development that resulted. The proposed circulation improvements were going to be substantial, he finished. John Schofield had nothing new to add. Regarding the nature of the conditional use, language tha# followed residential guidelines would be suggested by the PEC. Russell Forrest stated that single-#arnily 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 #hat the PEC would like to 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 clari#y 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 #ext 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 Mauriel[o stated that limitations could be imposed on the conditional use permit n aw. John Schofield replied that specific limitations would not be preferable now Russell Forrest clarified that development statistics would be addressed for the entire loi, now and in the future, making these developments tied together in perpetuity. Dominic Mauriello stated that a site plan of all three lots could be approved at the beginning, if the PEC agreed.

Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowner's representative, asked if any criteria should be attached to this conditions! use. Bill Gibson replied tha# conditional use criteria already addressed issues like compatibility, visual impact, etc. Jim t_arnont asked whether point-ta-point gondolas would be addressed within this conditions! use. Doug Cahill stated that a specific definition of funicular should be clarified, a comment that the other Commissioners agreed with. The comment surtaced that "or similar" wording be inserted to the defnition 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 Gl~ the words "or other" should be inserted. He added that the building department did not oversee this type of use at all. Fie 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 Cahi11 had na further concerns except regarding the clarification 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 if "other" sufficed. Bill Gibson stated that the latter would suffice. MOTION: Rollie Kjesbo SECOND: Ghas Bernhardt VOTE: 7-0-0 Approved • • 4. R request far a recommendation to the Vail Town Council far proposed updates to the Elements of the Tawn of Vail Comprehensive Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. P,pplicant: Tawn of Vail Planner: Elisabeth Eckel 1 Russ Forrest 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 an the web. Jim specifically mentioned the need to look at different neighborhoods and to engage them in a dialogue on needs in their neighborhoods, John Schofield mentioned that the Lionshead Master plan is an example of the goad 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" is important to clarify for the community, and referenced the need to look at the frequency of multi-use residential areas and whether ar 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 Cahn! reiterated that the Land Use Plan is the priority and that the overall vision is critical. Chas Bernhardt agreed Gary and Doug. He agreed with Elisabeth's quote that redevelopment with a 20 year 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 TaV 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 future. 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 plan(s) 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 an 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 for 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. John Schofield directed Staff to return for another worksession with clearer details. MOTION: Doug Cahiill SECOND: George Lamb VOTE: 7-0-0 Tabled until December 8, 2003 5.

SUMMARY The applicant, Alan and Francine Peters, represented by Peter Archer, are requesting variances from Section 12-6D-f {Setbacks) and Title 14 (Development Standards- locating required parking in the Right-of-Way), Vail Town Code, to allow for a residential addition and remodel located at 2955 Bellflower Dr. (Peters Chalet) f Lot 6, Block 6, Vail Intermountain. The variances are requested to allow the applicant to construct an addition which includes a 250 addition to the primary unit in the (rant and side setbacks and to allow for required parking in the right-af-way. Staff is recommending approval of the requested variances as a hardship exists and would not constitute a granting of special privilege to this individual property. II. DESCRIPTION QF REQUEST The owners, Alan and Francine Peters, are requesting variances from Section 12-fiD-6 (Setbacks} and Title 14 (Development Standards- locating required parking in the Right-of- Way), Vail Town Code, to allow for a residential addition and remodel iocated at 2955 Bellflower Dr. (Peters Chalet) !Lot 6, Black 6, Vail Intermountain. The applicant is requesting the front and side yard setback variances to allow for a two-story addition which will wrap around the west and south sides of the existing home. In addition, there is a request far a variance from the requirement that all required parking be located on-site to allow for two vehicle parking spaces to be located within the Town right-of-way. A vicinity map is attached for reference {Attachment A). On March 26, 2001, the applican# received variance approvals for an application very similar to this current proposal. Due to the cost to construct the previous design the applicant is returning to the Planning and Environmental Commission to request the approval of a slightly modified proposal. The change has occurred an the second floor in the southwest corner of the master bedroom. • A letter from the applicant (Attachment B} is included which describes the request in greater detail has been attached for reference, as have reductions of the proposal (Attachment C}. The descriptions of the variances requested are as follows: 1. Front Setback: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a front setback of 9 feet. The proposal includes approximately 118.7 square feet of new GRFA in the front setback and approximately 100 square feet of the garage within the front setback. 2. Side Setback (west): The applicant is requesting a side setback variance to allow for a west side setback of 8.5 feet. The proposal includes approximately 128 square feet of new GRFA and approximately 29 square feet of the proposed garage in the west setback. 3. Side Setback (east}: The applicant is requesting a side setback variance to allow for an east side setback of 11.8 feet, The proposed addition on the east side of the structure includes approximately 25 square feet of GRFA in east side setback. This setback is currently non-conforming, with a setback of 11.8 feet. 4. Parking in the right-of-way: The applicant is requesting a variance from the requirement that all required parking must be located on site. The residence requires a total of 5 parking spaces (3 far primary and 2 for EHU). One of the parking spaces encroaches up to 9 ft. into the right-of-way. III. BACKGROUND • The original plat fior this property was recorded in 1970 when the property was located in unincorporated Eagle County, The existing structure was constructed in 1977 under county regulations requiring side yard setbacks of fve feet. When the property was annexed into the Town o#1/ail underOrdinance 15 in 1987 itwas zoned Primary Secondary districtwith a minimum side yard of 15 feet. • On November 2, 1983, this lot received approval to construct a secondary deed restricted unit on the lot. At the time, the regulations required that b0°Jo of the required parking be enclosed. The applicant received a variance from this requirement. The variance was granted based on the difficulty of building a garage on the site, specifically the Planning and Environmental Commission found, "the garage would tend to overcrowd the lot and would impair the cowman open space between the residence and the residence to the west.'" On Maroh 2fi, 2001, the Planning and environmental Commission approved both setback and parking variances for this property. This application varies slightly from that previous approval in that there is additional GRFA in the front setback. The previous approval as expired. On February 7, 2002, the Design Review Board approved the design on the home based an the approved variances from March 26, 2003. IV.

CRITERIA ANSI FINDINGS A. Consideration of 1=actors Regarding the Setback Variances: The relationship of the requested variiance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Setbacks: When this proposal was reviewed and approved on March 2fi, 2001, the applicant modified their proposal to reduce the extent of the encroachment into the setback along the west property line to a minimum of 9.5 ft. This includes 128 square feet of GRFA and 29 square feet of garage in the west side setback. Staff believes that the applicant worked to reduce the setback encroachment which will allow for additional landscaping, thus reducing the impact of the proposed addition to other structures in the vicinity, most notably, the structure to the west. The fron# setback was increased by the applicant when under review by the Planning and Environmental Commission and was approved to be 9 feet. This includes 118.7 square feet of GRFA and 100 square feet of garage. Due to the configuration of the right-of-way of this lot, staff believes thatthere will be minimal impacts an existing ar potential structures in the vicinity. The existing structure is currently 11.8 feet from the east property line. This proposal does not increase the encroachment but does add 25 square feet of GRFA an the east elevation. Staff does not believe this minimal addition on the east elevation will negatively impact the neighboring praper#y_ Parking in the right-of-wav: The proposed parking in the right-af-way enoroaches up to 11 ft, into the right-of-way. Due to the configuration of the lot and the applicant's attempt to minimize the encroachment, staff believes that the proposed parking in the right-of-way will have no effect on structures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. While in the review process previously the applicant revised the plans, minimizing the encroachment into the front and side setbacks in order to receive a vote of approval for the variances. By designing a one-car garage, the applicant has increased the west side setback from 3 feet to 9.~ feet and the front setback from 8 feet to 9 feet. Staff does not believe this variance request to be a grant of special privilege. The size, configuration, existing structure, and 5D ft. stream setback are all physical hardships on this lot which greatly restrict the ability of improvements to be made to the structure without a variance. The lot is nonconforming with regards to lot size and the house currently encroaches into the front and side setbacks- Many of the 8 structures in the neighborhood have similarencroachments into the setbacks (see below). ~ Loco#ion 2923 Bellflower I 2933 Bellflower 2943 Bellflower 2953 Bellflower 2963 Bellflower I 2983 Bellflower 3Q03 Bellflower 2992 Bellflower I 29$2 Bellfiower I 2972 Bellflower I 2962 Bellflower 2852 Bellfiower 2942 Bellfiower I 2932 Bellflower I 2995 Basingdale 2975 Basingdale 2955 Basingdale 2945 Basingdale 2935 Basingdale 2925 Basingdale Description of the site Nonconforming 4-p[ex approved by Eagle County.

The effect of the requested variance an light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The modification to the proposal has eliminated the structure from the existing 5 foot drainage easement, The Public Works Departmentv~ill accept a revocable right-of-way permit for the improvements proposed within that easement and for the parking in the right-of-way. Staff does not believe that the variance will have a negative effect on the factors listed above. • 9 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety ar welfare, or materially injurious to properties ar impravements in the VlGln4ty. 3. That the variance is warranted for one ar mare of the fallowing reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c.

BACKGROUND The subject property includes several parcels of land currently used for the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort, the parking structure for the Vail Marriot Mountain. Resort, and employee .parking for Vail Resorts. The Marriott {previously "The Mark"'} was approved by the Town in 1977 as a hotel and condominium project and was zoned Special Development District No. 7 by Ordinance 3, Series of 1977. The project was expanded and modified throughout the 1980's and 199©"s. In 1.999 the Marriott property, along with the rest of Lionshead, was rezoned to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 and SDD No. 7 was repealed. The Marriott as developed today includes 35 dwelling units, 27$ hotel roams, meeting rooms, a restaurant, and other hotel amenities. The western portion of the site (the Morcus Subdivision), known as the Vilest Day Lot, was regraded and used far Vail Resorts employee parking. Prior to the rezoning of this parcel to Lionshead Mixed Use 1 in 1999, the property was zoned Parking District. Can November 10, 2003, the Planning and Environmental Commission conducted 2 a work session with the applicant to discuss the 10 proposed residential structures on the southern portion of the Vilest Day Lot. In general, the Commission was pleased with the scale of the residences as they are in close proximity to the Gore Greek and the existing residences on West Forest Raad_ IV.

V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Title 12. Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code 12-7H Lionshead Mixed Use1 ~LMU-1}District (in part) 12-7N-7: f URPOS~E.~ The Lionshead Mixed Use 7 District is infended fo provide sites for a mixture of multiple-family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, time shares,. lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified development. Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District, in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to mar"main the desirable qualifies of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. This District is meant to encourage and provide incentives far redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this Zone District include increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height, and density over the previously established zoning in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is fo create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Additionally;. the incentives are created to help finance public off site improvements adjacenf to redevelapmenf projects. With any developrnent/redevelopment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created herein, the following amenities will be evaluated: sfreefscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements. 92-7H-5: CONDITIONAL USES; GENERALLY (ON ALL LEVELS OF A BUILDING OR OUTSIDE OF A BUILDING): The following conditional uses steal! be permitted, subject to issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1 & of this Title: Bed and breakfast as furfher regulated by Section 12-14-? 8 of this Title. Brew pubs. Cain-operafed Iaundrr'es. Commercial storage. Private outdoor recreation facilities, as a primary use. Public buildings, grounds, and facilities. Public or private parking lots. Public park and recreafian facilities. Public utilify and public service uses. 5inale-family and fwo-family residential dwellings. Ski lifts and tows. Television stations. Additional uses determined to be similar to conditional uses described in this subsection, in accordance with the provisions of Section 92-3-4 of this Title. 4 12-16 Conditional Use Perrnits ¢in part) 92-16-7: Use Specific Cri#eria And S#andards: The following criteria and standards shall be applicable to the uses listed below in consideration of a corrdifional use permit. These criteria and standards shall be in addition fo the criteria and findings required by section 92-~ 6-6 of this chapter. A. Uses And Griteria ~~. Single-family and two-family dwellings. in fhe Lionshead Mixed Use t zone district: 5inale-family or two-family residential dwellings shad be allowed when: a. Developed as part of a coordinated mixed-use development: b. The low-density residential scale is advantageous fa create compatibility with or a transition fo other law density residential development in fhe vicinity: c. The single-family and two-family residences are designed to the general scale and character of residences in other single-family and two-family zone districts; and d. The proposed develaamenf is consistent with the intent and objectives o_ f fhe Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Vail Land Use Flan The Vail Land Use Plan was ini#iated in 198b and adopted in 7986 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 for 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 making. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. The West Day I-ot 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 accornrnodating the overnight and short term visitor to fhe area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, 5 service sfations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 5L~ accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented Toward vehicular access from J-T0, with other support commercial and business services included. ,41so allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted on December 15, 1898 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 today lacks the economic vitality of Vail Village, its neighboring commercial disfrict, and fails to offer a world class resort experience. Lianshead's economic 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 Lvt and make recommendations for the site. Below are several sections taken directly from the Master Plan. Chapter 4 Master Plan Recommendations -Overall Study Area (in part} Section 4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead 4.1.5 West Lionshead -Residential/Mixed-Use Hub The western end of Lionshead, currently undeveloped, is home to parking Lots, 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 1-7Q on- and off-ramp. The master plan recommends that fhis hub become aresidential/ mixed use area with an emphasis on meeting the needs of fhe local community. Appropriate uses could include high density real estate development, lodging, community based office and retail space, employee housing and parking. The opportunity exists for a significant locals or seasonal housing development in fhis area. To the extent possible developmenf patterns in Phis area should reflect north-soufh orientation of buildings, visual penetrations fo the mountain, and a pedestrian oriented environment. !n addition there is the opportunity for an underground public parking facilify. All service and delivery demands created by developmenf in this area shall be accommodated on-site. 6 The life wi11 continue to accommodate the existing and pofentially 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. Howeuer the area develops it is crifical that new uses be connected fo the primary pedestrian corridors and that they be served by fhe Town of Vail in-town transit system. Section 4.8 Parking 4.8.7.2 West Day Lot The west day lot is also owned by Vail Associates and is utilized primarily by mountain based Vail Associates employees. This site offers the possibility of ahigher-return development opportunity fhaf may make other less profitable west end developments feasible, and ifs existing use for parking is virtually certain to change. It is not anticipated that the employee base utilizing this surface laf will decrease; therefore, all fhe current parking (approximately 16U spaces} will haue fo be replaced. 4.8.3.3 Potential New Parking Sites b. West Lionshead The consfruction a second public parking structure of the west end of Lionshead has been a planning consideration since the completion of the Vail Transportation Master plan in 9991. This site is currently undeveloped (excepf for the Vail Associates maintenance yard} and is large enough to meet projected parking demand- It is well located in relation to the potentla! new eastbound 1-70 access ramps. Potential logistical hurdles to the use of this site are as follows: + Land Ownership. The entire potentla! parking structure site (see figure 4-14} is located on Vail Associates and CDaT property. Property acquisition from both enfifies wiI! be required. + Soufh Frontage Road Realignment. South Frontage Road must be realigned to free up a parcel Large enough for a major parking facility. + Competing Land Use Priorities. The west end of Lionshead has also been identified as a priority employee housing location by the Town of Vail and Vail Associates. Although housing could be constructed on top of a parking structure, a below-grade facility would significantly increase consfruction costs and bring up several important timing issues. Cost. Timing. The Lionshead master plan ground rules stipulate that there will be no net loss of existing employee housing 7 through redevelopment. Redevelopment of the core site by Vail Associates means that the exisfing employee housing in fhe Sunbird Lodge will have fo be replaced, most likely on the exisfing Vail Associates service yard or Naly Cross site. This scenario puts a west Lionshead employee housing project at or near the top of the Lionshead redevelopment fimeline. Depending on the size requirements of a new west Lionshead parking structure, it is possible that fhe realignmenf of the frontage road and the construction of the parking facilify would both have to occur prior to the construction of the housing project. If the employee housing project occurs first, which is mare probable, the opportunity for a west end parking structure could be Jost, as the remaining available land may be foo small for a structure of significant size. The second timing issue is the potential 1-70 interchange at this location. Planning decisions regarding a future parking strucfure, housing, or an 1-7(1 inferchange will have fo be made of 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 its distance from fhe retail core area and the ski yard {greater than a 920L?-foot walking radius. Chapter 5 Detailed >~lan Recommendations (in part} 5, t 7 West Day toff Vail Associates Service Yard/ Holy Cross Sife Planning for the wesfem end of Lionshead must consider two different scenarios: the realignment of South Frontage Road and its refenfion in the existing alignment. Higher densities and building heighfs maybe appropriate r`n this area, particularly to encourage the devebpment of employee housing. However, any development must meet the overall character and visual intent of fhe master plan and 6e 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 consolidafed parcel, there are four distinct sub-areas separated by location and land use. The first is the existing wesf day lat. This site has Gore Creek frontage, is removed from the frontage road, and is the most appropriate for ahigher--end fee simple or fractional fee development. The second, immediately adjacent to South Frontage Road, should have a strong relationship wifh the first (potentially by a connecfiog "greenbelf" as shown in figure 5-24~, but its less desirable location suggests a different and potentially higher densify product. Affordable housing should also 6e 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 hauling. longest road frontage and is the recommended location Associates service yard. From this location, a snow cat mountain could be developed fhrough the old town shops river to the Cascade Ho ski trail. The fourth has fhe for a smaller Vail access route to the site and across the If South Frontage Road is not realigned error to buildouf on this site, (here would be a slight reduction in fhe amount of developable land north of the frontage rand (see figure 5-23}, and access por`nfs fa the properties might be different. Traffic flow patterns and transif vehicle access would be different. The removal of fhe central fransifl pedestrian corridor will necessitate either an additional west Lianshead transit stag ar fhe undesirable sifuafian of people crossing the frontage road to access a single transrf stop. Town ofi Vail Comprehensive Onen 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 Vail. The Comprehensive Dpen Lands Plan -Action Plan map identifies a portion of the West Day Lat site as Undeveloped Parcel {Zoning Varies) Action Nat Recommended". The Plan did not reference or recommend any action with the existing site. • VI.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Text Amendment: Before acting on an application for an amendment to the regulations prescribed in this title, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town CounciE shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendments: '{. The extent to which the text amendments further the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulationsr and The proposal to add single-family and two-family residential dwellings as a conditional use within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations by providing a restricted opportunity to introduce smaller scale single-family and two-family residential dwellings when they are associated with a larger pCanned development. The text amendments to Section 12-1~6-7, Use Specific Criteria and Standards, Vail Town Code, are the result of feedback received from the Planning and Environmental Commission to establish a set of criteria and standards by which #o review any future requests for single- family and two-family conditional use permits. Staff believes the proposed text amendments provide structure to guide this and future applications for conditional use permits to construct single-family and two-family residential dwellings. 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 development objet#ives of the town; and 10 Staff believes that the proposed text amendments to the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District will further the goals and objectives outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan which are found in Section V of this memorandum- The text amendment proposed to Section 12-16-7, Use Specific Criteria and Standards, Vail Town Code, if approved, would afford applicants the ability to propose smaller scale single-family and two-family residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use development which can allow for compatibility and transition between adjoining properties. The incorporation of single-family and two-family residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use proposal will provide the possibility of designing redevelopment proposals which will establish a more consistent development fabric throughout Lionshead when some properties choose to redevelop and others do not. ~. The extent to which the text amendment demons#rates how condi#ons have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted by the Town Council on December 15, 1998 and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district was adopted in 1999 to serve as guides and incentives for the redevelapment of Lionshead. Sinoe the Plan and zone district were adopted there have been minimal projects proposed and approved within the Lionshead redevelopment area. The proposed amendments demonstrate that the potential to utilize single-family and two-family residential structures as part of a design proposal can be benefucial to creating a coordinated and harmonious project in terms of its relationship to adjoining properties. The proposed amendments take the objectives and goals of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District one step further in providing the tools necessary to encourage the appropriate redevelapment of Lionshead.. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and The proposed text amendments to the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District will allow for the design of proposed redevelopment projects to be mare harmonious with the neighboring properties. The addition of single-family and two-family residential districts as a conditional use will allow applicants to propose small scale residential structures as a part of a coordinated mixed-use development which will relate mare harmoniously with adjacent properties and land uses. Staff believes that the proposed text amendments give the Planning and Environmental Commission the control they expressed they wanted to have at the November 10, 2003 meeting to determine the acceptability of single-family and two-family residential dwellings.
