The intent of this section is to only require mitigation for large scale redevelopmentfdevelopment projects which produce substantial off site impacts. ~2-16 Conditional Use Permits (in part) 12-16- i ; Purpose; Limitations; In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation sa that they may 6e 1QCated properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to fheir effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will 6e in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses ar properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. 12-16-7: Use Specific Criteria And Standards. The following criteria and standards steal! be applicable to the uses listed below in consideration of a conditional use permit. These criteria and standards shall be in addition to the criteria and findings required by section 12-16-fi of this chapter. A. Uses And Criteria: 11. Single-family and two-family dwellings, in the Lionshead Mixed Use i zone district: Single-family or two-family residential dwellings shall be allowed when: a. Developed as part of a coordinated mixed-use development; b. The low-density residential scale is advantageous to create compatibility with ar a transition to other low density residential development in the 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 development is consistent wlfh the intent and objectives of the Lionshead ,Redevelopment Master Plan. Vail Land Use Plan The Vail Land Use Plan was initiated in ~ 985 and adopted in 1986 by the Vail Town Council. The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two-fold: 12 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 adapted 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 nand use category states: This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short term visitor to the area. Primary uses include hotels, Iodges, service stations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented toward vehicular access from I-70, with other support commercial and business services included, Also allowed in thv`s category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted on December 15, 1998 by the Vaii Town Council. "The master plan was initiated by the Town of Vail to encourage redevelopment initiatives within the Lionshead sfudy area. Bath pubfic and private interests have recognized that Lionshead today lacks the economv`c vitality of Vail Village, its neighboring commercial district, and fails to offer a world class resort experience. Lionshead's economic potenfial has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes: lack of growth in accommodation units ("hc~t beds'), poor retail quality, the apparent deterioration of existing buildings, an uninteresting and disconnected pedestrian environment, mediocre architectural character,. and the absence of incentives for redevelopment." There are several portions of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan which reference the West Day Lot and make recommendations for the site. Below are several sections taken directly from the Master Plan. Chapter 4 Master Plan Recommendati©ns -Overall Study Area {in part} Section 4.1 Underlying Physical Framework of Lionshead '~ 4.7.5 West Lionshead - ResidentiafJMixed-Use Hub 13 The western end of Lianshead, currently undeveloped, is home to parking Lots, the Vail Associates service yard, the Vail sanitation planf, the old town shops, and a gas station. Uses proposed by fhe community on this site in the past include increased parking, employee housing, office space., mountain service access, and an eastbound 1-70 on- and off-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 housing and parking. The opportunity exists for a significant locals or seasonal housing development in this area. To the extent possible development patterns in this area should reflect north-south orientation of buildings, visual penetrations to the mountain, and a pedestrian oriented environment. !n addition there is the opportunity for an underground public parking facility. AI! service and delivery demands created by development in this area shall be accommodated an-site. The site will continue to accommodate the existing and potentially expanded functions of the Vail sanitation plant. The mountain service yard will be reduced in size, as some functions can be moved to less central locations. However the area develops it is critical that new uses be connected to the primary pedestrian carridars and that they be served by the Town of Vail in-town transit system. Section 4.8 Parking 4.8. f.2 West l7ay Lot The west day !ot is also awned by Vail Associates and is utiJr'zed primarily by mountain based Vail Associates employees. Thr's site offers the possibility of ahigher-return development opportunity that may make other less profitable west end developments feasible, and its existing use far parking is virtually certain to change. It is not anticipated that fhe employee base utilizing this surface lot will decrease; therefore, all the current parking (approximately 160 spaces) will have to be replaced. 4.8.3.3 Potential New Parking Sites b. West Lionshead The construction a second public parking structure at the west end of Lianshead has been a planning consideration since the completion of the Vail Transportation Master plan in 1991. This site is currently undeveloped (except for the Vail Associates maintenance yard) and is large enough to meet projected parking demand. Jt is well located in relation to the potential new eastbound 1-70 access ramps. Potential logistical hurdles to the use of this site are as follows: Land Ownership. The entire potential parking structure site (see figure 4- i4J is located on Vail Associates and CDOT ~ ~ i I4 property. Property acquisition from both entities wit! be required. South Frontage Road Realignment. South Frontage Road must be realigned to free up a parcel large enough far a major parking facility. Competing Land Use Priorities. The west end of Lionshead has also been identified as a priority employee housing location 6y the Town of Yail and Vail Associates. Although housing could be constructed on top of a parking structure, a below-grade facility would significantly increase construction 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 through redevelopment. Redevelopment of the care site 6y Vail Associates means that the existing employee housing in the Sunbird Lodge will have to be replaced, most likely an the existing Vail Associates service yard or Hofy Cross site. This scenario puts a west Lionshead employee housing project at ar near the top of the Lionshead redevelopment timeline. Depending on the size requirements of a new west Lionshead parking structure, it is possible that the realignment of fhe frontage road and the construction of fhe parking facility would both have to occur prior fo the construction of the housing project. if fhe employee housing project occurs first, which is more probable, the opportunity far a west end parking structure could be lost, as the remaining available land may be too small for a structure of significant size. The second timing issue is the potential 1-70 interchange at this focation. Planning decisions regarding a future parking structure, housing, or an 1-70 interchange will have to be made at the same time, or important opportunities maybe lost. Convenience. This location for a major parking structure must have regular transit or shuttle service because of its distance from the retail core area and fhe ski yard (greater than a 12CI0-foot walking radius). u 15 Chapter 5 Detailed Plan Recommendations {in part,! 5.77 West Day Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yardf Holy Cross Site Planning far the western end of Lianshead must consider two different scenarios: the realignment of South Frontage Road and its retention in the existing alignment. Higher densities and building heights may be appropriate in this area, particularly to encourage the development of employee housing. However, any development must meet the averalf characfer and visual infant of the master plan and be compatible with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott and the Vail Spa. As depicted in figures 5-2i and 5-22, realignment of South Frontage Road wit! allow these properties to be consolidated far development while maintaining a transit connection Through the property. Within the consolidated parcel, there are four distinct sub-areas separated by location and land use. The first is the existing west day lot, This site has Gare Creek frontage, is removed from the frontage rand, 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), but ifs less desirable Iocatian suggests a different and potentially higher density product. Affordable housing should also be considered here to accommodate new employee generation. The third, west of the realigned South Frontage Road, has been identified as an appropriate location for high density employee housing. The fourth has the longest road frontage and is the recommended location for a smaller Vai! Associates service yard. From this location, a snow cat access route to the mountain could be developed Through the old fawn shops site and across the river tv the Cascade Ho ski trail. if South Frontage Road is not realigned prior to buildouf on this site, fhere would be a slight reduction in the amount of develapabfe land north of the frontage road (see figure 5-23), and access points fo the properties might be different. Traffic flaw 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 ar the undesirable situation of people Grassing the frontage read to access a single transit stop. Town of Vail Comprehensive Ut~en Lands Plan In 1994, the Vail Tawn 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 Open Lands Plan -Action Plan map identifies a portion of the West Day Lot site as "Undeveloped I'arcei Zoning Varies) Action Not Recommended". The Pian did not reference or recommend any action with the existing site. 16 • Address/Legal Description: 730, 724, and 714 West Lionshead CircielTracts A, B, C, & D, Morcus Subdivision and Lot 7, Marriott Subdivision Parcel Size: 7.74 acre (337,197 sq. ft.} Zoning: Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Land Use Designation: Resort Accommodations and Services VI.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Conditional Use Permit: Zoning Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District Natural Area Preservation District Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District General Use District Before acting on the requested conditional use permit application for nine proposed duplex structures, the Planning and Environmental Commission shalt consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 17 (1) Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town. Vail Land Use Plan As identified in Section V of this memorandum the West Day Lot is a part of the Resort Accommodations and Services band use category. This land use designation identifies activities aimed at acc©mmodating the overnight and short term visitor with the primary uses being hotels and lodges. While the proposal to construct nine duplex units is not one of the primary uses identified for the land use category the existing Vail Mountain Marriott and the future hotel proposal which are pieces of the overall development plan for this site are hotels and lodges which are aimed at serving the short term visitor. Incorporating the smaller scale duplex structures along the creek will allow the overall development to increase in scale as it moves north away from the creek. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan contains several sections which speak to the future use of the West Day Lot and are found in Section V of this memorandum. The first reference made regarding this site can be found in Section 4.1.5 which identifies the site as a "residential/mixed use area" with the opportunity existing for "significant locals or seasonal housing". The Plan provides mare detailed recommendations in Section 5.17 which states that this site is "most appropriate for ahigher-end fee simple or fractional fee development". Staff believes that the proposed duplexes meet the goals and objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. (2) Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. Staff believes that the proposed nine duplex structures will not have any negative effect on the items listed above. The incorporation of the duplexes into the overall development plan for the site allows for smaller scale residential structures along the Gore Greek and the bike path which will allow an open feeling to remain along the Town owned stream tract with larger structures on the north end of the property adjacent to existing larger structures. Section 12-7H-12, Density (Dwelling Units Per Acre), Vai] Town Code, in the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone Dis#rict permits a maximum of 35 dwelling units per acre on this site. The applicant is proposing 1$ dwelling units on this approximate 2.2 acre portion of the "West Day Lot Development Site" which is 8.2 dwelling units per acre. (3) Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking areas. The nine new duplex structures will bring additional cars down the South l~ Frontage Raad and onto West Forest Road. Staff has determined that there will be 13 additional trips generated by the new residences. Furthermore Section 12-7H-1$, Mitigation of Development impacts, Vail Town Code, requires property ownersldevelopers to mitigate direct impacts of develapment proposals on public infrastructure. Staff has determined that a fee of $5,000 per additional trip generated by a development bears "a reasonable relation to the development impacts". Staff has attached a condition to this proposal if it is to be approved requiring a fee of $65,000 for mitigation of development impacts. The proposed development includes a connection from the proposed pedestrian/emergency acaess pathway down to the existing bike path along Gore Creek. Staff is requesting that a pedestrian path be installed from the turn-around at the end of the pedestrian/emergency access pathway to Lionshead Place. This installation of the requested pedestrian path will complete the circulation loop for pedestrians in this area. The applicant is also proposing to relocate the existing bike path off of their property and onto the Town owned stream tract. Staff is recommending that the applicant give the Town easements for the portion of existing bike path on the applicant's property and the new pedestrian/emergency access pathway. Staff does not believe there are any negative effects on the remaining items listed above. (4) Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Staff believes that the proposed residences will have a positive effect on the area. The scale of the structures is comparable to the residential structures on the south side of Gore Creek. The incorporation of the duplexes in the overall develapment plan for the site allows for smaller residential scale structures to be located along the Gore Creek which will allow for the stream tract to retain a more `"open" feeling with the taller structures located on the norkh portion of the West Day Lot site. 45) Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use. (6) The environmental impact report concerning the proposed use, if an environmental impact report is required by chapter 12 of this title. Staff has reviewed the environmental impact report which is required as a part of this application and found no cause for concern. The applicant shall be required to comply with the recommendations of the report. In addition to the standard criteria far a conditional use permit, the Use Specific Criteria and Standards, Section 12-16-7A(11), Vail Town Code, for Single-family and Two-family dwellings, in the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district must be reviewed prior to acting an this proposal. l9 Single-family or two-family residential dwellings shall be allowed when: (1) Developed as part of a coordinated mixed-use development; The proposed duplex structures are one part of the 7',74 acre West Day Lot Development Site which will include the existing Vail Mountain Marriott hotel, the proposed nine duplex units, and a future proposed hotel. The entire site will be treated as one large development site with zoning requirements applied to all three existing and proposed developments. The applicant does intend to subdivide the individual projects onto separate lots in the future with plat notes found on each plat which would tie all three developments together in perpetuity #ar zoning purposes. The current proposal for nine duplex structures is located an Parcel 2 of the West Day Lat Development Site. (2) The [ow-density residential scale is advantageous to create compatitaitity with or a transition to other low density residential development in the vicinity;. The incorporation of the nine residentially scaled duplex structures slang the Gore Creek will allow for a transition from structures compatible with the residential structures an the south side of Gore Creek to the taller more massive buildings on the northern portion of the West Day Lot. The advantages of incorporating the duplexes into the overall development of the site are numerous. The scale of the structures will allow for the Gore Creek stream tract to retain its "open" feeling, the residences an the south side of Gore Creek will not have the views from their Werth facing windows totally obstructed by a more massive structure, and they will allow the scale of the buildings on the West Day Lot to transition to taller more massive structures which currently existing in Lianshead. The Vail Land Use Plan has designated the residences slang West Forest Road as Low Density Residential and. the West Day Lot Development Site as Resort Accommodations and Services. The incorporation of the nine duplex structures on the southern portion of the West Day Lot Development Site will allow for a better transition between these two different land use designations which are significantly different in terms of the wale of buildings which could be potentially constructed. (3} The single-family and two-family residences are designed to the general scale and character of residences in other singte-family and two-family zone districts; and The proposed duplexes have two standard footprints. There is an AIB duplex and a BIB duplex. The AIB duplex measures 7,535 square feet in Grass Residential Floor Area (GRF'A) and the BIB duplex measures 6,800 square feet in GRFA. Six of the nine struatures are an AIB duplex and the remaining three units are a BIB duplex. An A/B duplex would require a lot size of 58, 700 square feet (t.35 acres} to construct and a BIB duplex would require a lot size of 44;000 square feet X1.01 acres} to 20 construct. The total area of a lot needed to construct six Alb and three BIB duplex structures would require 11.1 acres. The approximate size of Parcel 2 of this proposed development site is 2.23 acres. The proposed duplexes have a maximum height of 41 feet at the tallest location which is southeast save of unit one which is located on east end of the site. Staff believes that the propased structures are designed in the general character of residences in other single-family and two-family zone districts. Staff has referred to the plat for the homes located along West isorest Road just south of this site across Gore Creek, Vail Village 6~" Filing. Lots included on this plat range in size from 15,115 square feet {0.34 acres to 56,550 square feet {1.3 acre). The sizes of hams which would be permitted to be built under the residential zoning districts range from 3,761 to 6,577 square feet of GRFA. The height in its worst case is only eight feet above the maximum height permit in other residential zone districts. This increase in height is caused by the steep grades leading to the Gare Creek which were historically present. The height of the proposed residences is needed for a better transition from the maximum height of 33 feet for the residences along West Forest Road to the maximum $2.5 feet of height with an average of 71 feet in height for the uses on the West Day Lot Development Site. The proposal shows that the south walls of the parking structure are exposed in some instances at a heigh# of eight feet between the duplex structures. While these walls are not retaining walls staff requests that the height of the walls be mitigated by either the placement of retaining walls in front which would create planting beds or by arEificially increase grade in those locations between homes so that in no case more than six feet of parking structure wall is exposed. The materials and scale of architectural features on the proposed duplexes are comparable to #hase seen on proposals for new single- family and two-family residential structures. Staff's believes that the proposed residences are consistent in terms of size, bulk, and mass as those located on the south side of the Gore Creek which are the closest residential structures to the proposed development. (4) The propased development is consistent with the intent and objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Lionshead ~Redevelaoment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan contains several sections which speak to the future of the West Day Lat and are found in Section V of this rnemorandum. The first reference made regarding this site can be found in Section 4.1.5 which identifies the site as a "residentiallmixed use area" with the opportunity existing for "significant locals ar seasonal housing". The Plan provides more detailed recommendations in Section 5.17 which states that this site is "most appraprrate for ahigher-end fee simple or fractional fee development". Staff believes that the proposed 21 duplexes meet the goals and objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The planning and environmental commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: (1 } That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. (2} That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, ar welfare, ar materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. (3) That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this title. Maior Exterior Alteration: In making a decision regarding the approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a major exterior alteration the Planning and Environmental Commission is to utilize Section 12~7H-8 Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, which states: "It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence before the Planning and environmental Commission and the Design Review Board that the proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed ~ i Use I District, that the proposal is consistent with applicable elements ~ of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Pfan acrd that the proposal does not otherwise have a significant negative effecf on the character of the neighborh©od, and that the proposal substantially complies with F other applicable elements of the t/aIl Comprehensive Plan." ~ 1} That the proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District.. The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District details the purpose of the district in Section 12-7H-1, Purpose, Vail Tawn Cade, which states: "The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple~famlly dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional ~ fee clubs, time shares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, ~i, 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 maintain the desirable qualr'ties of the Dr`sfrlct by establishing appropriate site developmenf standards. This District is meant to encourage and provide incentives far redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Pfan. This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives ~.z _ i is to create an economically vibrant lodging, housing; and commercial core area. The incentives in this ,Zone Qistrict 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 adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any development/redeveiopment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created herein, the following amenities wilt be evafuated.~ streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements.." Staff believes that the proposed residences are in compliance with the above purpose statement. The incorporation of the proposed nine duplexes as part. of an overall unified development in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan satisfies the primary purpose the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone District. The scale of the residences will also preserve the quality of air, light, open space and other amenities which fiurther the purpose of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone District. 2) That the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and that the proposal does not otherwise have a significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood. ' Staff believes the proposed plan is consistent with the applicable elements of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and that it does not negatively affect the character of the neighborhood. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan contains several sections which speak to the future use of the West Day Lot and are found in Section V of this memorandum. The first reference made regarding this site can be found in Section 4.1.5 which identifies the site as a "residentiailmixed use area" with the opportunity existing for "significant locals or seasonal housing". The Plan provides mare detailed recommendations in Section 5.17 which states that this site is "most appropriate for ahigher-end fee simple or fractional fee development". Staff believes that the proposed duplexes are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 3) That the proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. The two portions of the Vail Comprehensive Plan which specifically mention this site are the Vail Land Use Plan and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. As identified in Section V of this memorandum the West Day Lot is a part of the Resort Accommodations and Services land use category within the Vail Land Use Plan. This land use designation identifies activities aimed at accommodating the 2~ overnight and short term visitor with the primary uses being hotels and ledges. While the proposal to construct nine duplex units is not one of the primary uses identified for the land use category the existing Vail Mountain Marriott and the future hotel proposal which are pieces of the overall development plan for this site are betels and lodges which are aimed at serving the short term visitor. Incorporating the smaller scale duplex structures along the creek will allow the overall development to increase in scale as it moves north away from the creek. The proposed duplexes also comply with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as detailed in the criteria above. Staff believes this proposal is in compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan. X.

Existin ; Conditions The project site is currently developed with the Marriott 1-1ote1, an open air parking structure which serves the Marriott Hotel, and an unpaved surface employee parking lot with a capacity of I60 parking spaces. The site has been re-graded over the years. creating rnan-made berms and slopes. The Marriott Hotel currently contains 276 newly renovated hotel rooms, 35 dwelling units, a 4,500 sq. ft. restaurant, and meeting rooms. bite improvements include tennis courts and a swizxrtning pool. 2. Overview of 7'roject -Entire WDL • Design Concept The redevelopment of the West Day Lot builds upon the success of the newly redcvelaped Marriott Hotel (276 hotel rooms and 3~ dwelling units) by proposing a new hotel and residential development on the remainder of the site. The project provides a transition from the high density lodging facilities along West Lionshead Circle to a 1ow- rise and low density duplex style development along Gore Creek, as suggested in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Flan. This transition is important due to the low density residential uses that exist on the south side of Gore Creek. The project includes attention to the design guidelines including the provision of stepbacks and the transition of wall planes and materials as directed by the Lionshead design guidelines. The proposed plan implements many other goals ofthe Master Plan including concealing parking in subsurface structures, developing residential and lodging uses in this area of Lionshead, developing pedestrian connections to the core of Lionshead, and meeting all of the design standards and guidelines.. Project Components The new hotel building includes 90 hotels roams (44 are hotel lock-offs}, 113 dwelling units, meeting roams, a restaurant, hotel fitness areas, and subsurface parking to serve both the new developrxient and a portion. of the Marriott's parking requirements. Additionally, there is glow-density residential development on the south side of the site containinb up to 20 dwelling units in up to 10 two-family structures. These homes are accessed via a subsurface parking area connecting to 'West Forest Road. Zoning Text Amendment The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district does not list single-family ar tu~o-family residential structures as a permitted or conditional use. At the time this zone district was drafted, then: was not much thought given to these low density use as there did not seem to be a logical location in the Lionshead area to allow such low-density residential uses. Throt-gh carefiil planning= of the 1Vest Day Lot Vail Resorts discovered that law-density Vail ttesorts - Tl~e Re~ievelogment of Lionshead • zesidential uses would he advantageous to create a transition from more intensive lodging uses to the Iow-density residential neighborhoods adjacent to the site. Therefore, Vail Resort's is proposing a text amendment to the Lionshead 1Vlixed [use 1 zone district to aIlot~v single-family and two-family residential structures as a condition~il rise. This azzaendment will allow the proposed Gore Creel: Residences to be approved by the P'lanxting and Environmental Commission subject to the conditional use criteria found in the Zoning lZegttlations. The appraval criteria would allow the Pl?C to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate locations for single-family and two-family uses within Lionshead. • Vail Resorts - Tl~e Redevelopment pf Lionsttead I t ~ l ~~ ~ a4 _ ~;~} _ ,r ~ f "' ~^ ~ ~` ~.. ~j rr ~~ `yam ~l _ .. - . -'r ~ `ti t" ~ -° r f' ~r+r' ~ y ~ r^ sir ~ f ~ ~,~'}~~ ii.~L ~ ~iw"-,~~ ~ ~~ , _ 'ti " '`' ~ ~ ~. - _~ r~ ~~ f x,:Ta `~,Jr~ i~~ I~1 . ~+ ~ ~ ,s.l+Z~~~~ Mme' ~i I~,~ ~~jrF ?f`~"~_ "~ ~} ~,f~ *~ ~,+~~ ~ ~ -'^!~'a. •,u,, a,~(f y t'om'' -r.r ,~,~' ~ `4 -,+ 1e ~ ~ ' ,~ fir ~y+ - , '~}'r ,x34.'_ ,,t"~1 • 1 ~ y-ys4r.511~,~~"~} ~ - ` Jr y ly }'r 1 rrir5,l~~~~~. ~ j r'id' 1 !~, __ x 3: `~ * ~~ ~r 1 '' -},, 1 I i i~ J^ t fl ~ y ~f~ --~'° 'Sd' I? ~, na ~" F o-°°~ ~ ~ Q?

Conditional Use Permits - Lac~ftinn of retail., Ioclne units. dwelling units, and meetinrt morns and Conditional Use Permit for the Gore Creek Residences: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. flnalvsa,~•: The proposed uses are part of an overall coordinated development plan for the West Day Lot.. X111 of the proposed uses are consr`stent with thas•e uses and activities ident~ed by the Laonshead Redevelopment .Master Plan for than location. The plan specifically recommends hotels and other residential developrrrent an this area of Liansheacl. Additionally, the 1~ilaster Plan and zoning regulations recognize the need for carstomciry and accessory ztses within a lodging fatality to serve the occupants thereof as well as the general public. Since this building is not located an the primary retail area, there is nv negative impact associated with ledge reams and eondvminaarms vn the first level of the building. The proposed single family residences are being located in an area of the sate which is adjacent to Gvre Creek and the Ivw density Karnes directly across the creek.. The proposed homes will create a tr-ansatavn yr buffer from the more intensive acres in Livnshead to the less dense uses an West Forest Road. The prvpvsed uses and their locations within the building are consistent with the Town's development objectives fnr this area of Lavn.shead. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distzzbution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs- R n al vsas•: The proposed uses wall have Ifttle if any effect on these criteria. Except for the ,Heeling rvvrrrs, the other uses are cvnclataonal far lvcatianal reasons, meaning Vail Resorts -The Redevelopanent ofi Lionshead 13 that tJzey are normally permitted uses on the property but due to their laccrtiori in the building they ar-e eonclitiancrl. The proposed locations for a res•tatlr•ant, conclaminiums, and lodge rooms will therefore have na effect an the listed criter'icr. The meeting r-aams clre accessory to the hotel frrrzetion and therefore da not generate additional trc~fic, produce additional perrrrunent populction, or have effect an the Town's infrastructure. The new condominiums and Gore Creek Residences are intended to serve as vacation units and therefore are unlikely to create a permanent population creating the need for schools, parks, and other recreational trs•es for full-time residents, while still being compatible with a residential environment. hecreationul amenities hove been pr-avided to serve the guests and residents an-site. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference #o congestion, automotive anal pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking. areas. Analvsl.s: The proposed reclevelapment project and proposed canclitiancrl arses will improve the traffic circulation to and fr•orn the site and within tlzc= property, All of the required parking crud loading for the project is located below grade in a two-level structure. Access to tl~e site cvrnes directly from YYest ~ionshead Circle and Forest Raad similar to the existing condition but greatly unproved by reducing conflicts and rernavirtg surface parking areas. The laacling areas are accessed directly from the Satrtla Frontage hood into u belaYV grading loading area. All of the drivetivcrys, drive aisles, and loading areas meet the Town's develaprnent standards. The pr-apased plan separates pedestrians and vehicles to the greatest degree possible thus creating safe environment for pedestrians. .Driveways and parkin; areas are either heated or located underground; therefore snow removal will not bc? necessary. The proposed plan adequately addresses all of the issues raised by this criterion. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which tl~e proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of~the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Analysis: The pro,Pased uses and structures are being developed in conformance with the development standards established by zoning. The proposed uses and stnuctures also earnply with the direction provided in the Lionsheucl hedevelopment Mnster Plan, The pre~pased uses will provide needed accornrnaclatians within the west end of ~iorrsheud, The hulk and scale of structures is consistent with that envisianecl by the Liansheacl Redevelopment Master Plctn and the design ,,rruidelines adapted ther•eirz. The proposed uses are consistent with those uses and s•tr-ttcttu•es located on adjacent s°ites, us adjacent sites are developed with residential and lodging uses.

As you kt~,o~v, Gore Creek Place is the first phase in the development of the'vVest Day Lot. Plans for the comprehensive development of the 1~1~'est Day Lot were previously submitted to the Town on July 7, ~OD3 and an addendum to this submittal was made on Naven-~ber 3, 20fl3. The DRB has conducted conceptual reviews of the project on December 17`h and nnost recently on January ~ls`. It is our understanding that subject to your review oC this submittal the PEC review of Gore Crock Place will be scheduled for February 9`h. Information submitted with this amended application includes: 1. Existing conditions map 2. Site plan 3. Typical building elevation and composite elevation 4. Landscape plan 5. Grading plan 6. Building height diagran3s 7. Sunshade analysis 8. Title Rep©z-t As you know, the Town Council recently approved a text amendment to the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 District which allows for single and two-family dwellings subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Prior to approving such use the PEC shall consider review criteria specific to this use. The follo~.ving is our analysis of how this proposal conforms to these specific criteria: 1. Develotaed as Hart of a coordinated mixed-use develot~ment: Gore Creek Place is Phase I of the multi-phase development of the }JG'est Day Lot and has been. designed as an integral element of the rest of site. The overall site plan submitted to EdwardsViila~e Center, Suite G209 Ph. - 47D.425.7~•75 01 C5 Ed~.vards Village Baulevarr~ Fax - 47(?.426.757b Post Qffice box 2558 vWww.braunassocia~es.com Edwards, C~lorada 8 1632 the Town on .Tuly ?`, 2043 demonstrates how Gore Creek Place relates to the balance of the L~'est Day Lot, Vail Resorts is very much aware of the fact that proceeding with Goxe Creek Place as a first phase of the Nest Day Lot will. begixa to establish very well defined parameters for howv the balance of the site can be developed. Howevera considerable effort has gone into the design of the site to ensure coordination betwveen the various development phases 2. The low-density residential scale is advantageous to create compatibility with or a transition to other low density residential develonrnent in the vicinity: The West Day Lot is located immediately adjacent to fihe town's stream tract and to adjoining low-density residential development. The parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use - I and allativs for high density development yvith heights of up to 80.5'. The driving factor behind design of Gore Creek Place is provide a more graceful transition beriveen high density development and the adjacent town stream tract and neighborin; low- density residential. The duplex. residences proposed are intended to provide this transition, 3. The single-family and two-family residences are designed to the general scale and _. . __ character ofresidences in other single-.fancily and two-family zone districts: and Buildings proposed for Core Creek Place are ? to ? % stories in height. The buildings with "read" as duplex or single family homes and the scale and massing is very much in keeping with the character oFdevelopment in the xzeighboring adjoining duplex zone district, Proposed ridge heights are generally consistent with height limits for the single-family and duplex zone districts. 4. The proposed development is consistent with the intent and ob+ectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. _ _. _. The Lionshead Master Plan is implemented in large part through the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 and 2 Zone :Districts. The development propased far Gore Creek Place is consistent with the standards outlined in the Lionshead MU -I district and as such is consistent with the intent and objectives of the master plan, .Refer to Vail Resort's original submittal for the redevelopment of Lionshead for additional discussion of haw this development is consistent with these objectives. • Vl. MASTER PLASM CONSII?ERATIQNS The Town of Vail established six policy objectives to serve as the framework for the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposed Vail Resorts Development Cotrapany redevelopment projects implement these policies as indicated below. A, Renewal and Redevelopment The proposed redevelopment projects represent a signiFicant xenewal of the Lionshead area. With the removal and replacement of the existing Sunbird and Gondola buildings in the heart of Lionshead, there will be a tivhalesale change in the character of the Lionshead core. The redeveloped sites will provide a warmer more pedestrian scale to the buildings and introduce amenities necessary for running a 4varld-class resort and ski mountain. All of the sites are being redeveloped to the design standards and qualities presented in the Lionshead Redevelopment 1Wlastar Plan. These projects will help Lionshead achieve a personality and identity of its awn. E. Vitality and Amenities All of the proposed projects include components which help to improve the overall vitality of the Lionshead Area. The redevelopment projects include a ~ve~star hotel, rrteetin; 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. Stronber Economic Bass; Through Increased Live Beds The proposed redevelopment projects include two new hotel facilities where none exist today. Both hotel facilities include traditional hotel rooms, hotel lock-aft units, and condominiums. The hotel lack-off units and condominiums are to be included in a rental program thxougl~ a series of incentives and disincentives offered to condominium owners, thus encouraging the entire facility to be operated as a hazel 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 sarnewhat dysfunctional. Pedestrians are constrained by frequent grade changes, dead and stre~;ts, and confi~sing corridors. Vehicular access tends to conflict with al] other modes of traffic which adds to the confitsion and haphazardness of the Lionshead area. The proposed redevelopment projects create ne~v streets and pedestrian-wavs to help improve the overall access For pedestrians,. skiers, and shoppers. Additionally, buildings are bung redeveloped at more of pedestrian scale and with uses that will draw pedestrians through the Lionshead area, Vehicular circulation is improved with the Vail Resorts - TPte Redevelopment of`Lionshcad 17 addition of belowv grade parking and loading facilities which helps to separate vehicles and pedestrians. The redevelopment projects will improve access and circulation for all wades of transportation. E. Improved Infrastructure The proposed redevelopment projects will help to irzaprove the overall physical in#rastruchzre 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 for the redeveloped sites. Vail resorts has provided the opporntnity for the Town aF Vail to provide a transit center on the 1`,lorth Day Lot thus improving tlae Town's transit capabilities. The proposed improvements avill help the Town and Vail Resorts meet the service expectations of guests and residences. F. Creative Einancin for Enhanced Private Profits and Public Revenues Vail Resorts is utilizing a series aF 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 Core 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. • Vail Resorts - "Ihc Re~lovclopmeitt of Lionshuad l THIS ITEM MAY AFFECT Yt7UR PROPERTY PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE ES HEREBY GIVi=N #hat the Planning and Environmental Commission of the Town of Vail will hold a public hearing in accordance with Section 12-3-6 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail on January 12, 2004, at 2:00 P.M. in the Town of Vail Municipal Building, In consideration of: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a proposed text amendment to the Zoning Regulations, Title 12, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Vail Town Code, to allow for revisions to the development standards prescribed in Chapter 12-7A, Public Accommodation (PA) District, Vail Town Code and setting forkh details in regard thereto.

Applicant: Tawn of Vail Planner: George Ruttier I. SUMMARY The purpose of this memorandum is to 1) provide the Planning and Environmental Commission with a summary of the Town of Veil's various adapted planning documents; 2) propose an outline of the table of contents of the Vail Comprehensive Plan; 3) propose a problem statement which articulates the need for updating, combining and. revising the necessary elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan; and to 4) provide a list of action steps necessary to accomplish the intended task.. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Staff is requesting that the Planning and Environmental Commission evaluates the proposed outline of the table of contents of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, the proposed problem statement and the preliminary list of action steps necessary to accomplish the intended task. The desired result of this effort is to dedicate resources to the task of revising, combining and updating the various planning documents adopted by the Town of Vail. Following a joint meeting with the Vail Town Council, the Town Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission have identified a need to update, revise, andlor combine the twelve elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. In order to more clearly articulate this need, the following problem statement is proposed: "The citizens of the Town of Vail recognize the importance of creating a vision f©r the cor~tir~ued future success of the community. 7o thrs end, the citizens of Vail have documented their vision and stated their goals and desires for the future of the community in multiple long-range planning documents. The plans are to 6e used as policy guidelines and as a genera! framework when making decisions affecting land use, transportation, recreation, new development and redevelopment, open space and the environment, culture, and urban design in the Tawn. These long-range plans comprise the Vail Comprehensive Plan. The Vail Comprehensive Plan is fragmented into twelve individual elements. ,~s such, ifs use as asingle-source, comprehensive planning document is hindered. Due to the current format of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, various conflicting goals, policies, and objectives exist between the individual elements. An all-inclusive, single-source document would be more beneficial and useful In spite of the stated intent, many of the Town's planning documents have not been reviewed on a regular basis. Updates and revisions that have occurred to the plans have after been in reaction to a specific situafion rather than a proactive effort to be responsive to the vision of the community. It is imperative that the stated goats and desires of the citizens of Vail are currenf and accurately reflecfed as Vail continues to grow. If would be share sighted to ignore fhe importance of fhe Vail Comprehensive Plan, fo allow conflicts in the plans fo exist, or fo permit the Vail Comprehensive Plan to become outdated. An opportunity exists fo begin to address fhe comprehensive planning needs of Vail and thereby ensuring the continued future success of Vail. III. SUMMARY OF THE VARIOUS PLANNING DOCUMENTS The outline below combines all of the currently adopted planning documents within the Town of Vail. The proposed outline is just one of the options that may be pursued at the time of the Comprehensive Plan update. Please note that Title 72: Zoning Regulations and the Development Standards Handbook have been omitted from the outline of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Though their updates are equally important, the scope of those documents is separate from that of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. A. Vail Comprehensive Plan The outline incorporates every adopted planning document that exists within the Town of Vail and was organized according to each document's importance and relevance according to the following criteria: ^ Ease of the revisionlupdate: in-house or outsource ^ Importance of the Plan to Vail's future ^ Impact of the Plan on current development ^ Frequency of use 1. Vail Village Master Plan The update should address several issues that are currently not included in the Plan: a} Means of maintaining a high level of quality development and redevelopment within Vail Village; b} The necessity for Special Development Districts: i.e., the Plan should be current enough to address today's issues appropriately without causing every project to require exceptions from the regulations; c} Unique strategies intended to improve the retail environment;. d} Inclusion of loading and delivery facilities as necessitated by current redevelopment projects. 2 Il. Vail Village Urban Design Guidelines (may also be included in Chapter 1: Vail Village Masfer Plan} -the Guidelines detail ideas about the function and aesthetics of Vail Village and are closely related to the previous chapter. Ill. Sfreefscape Masfer Plan -due to its emphasis on the design and quality of the pedestrian environment, this Plan is also intertwined with and may be combined with Chapter I. 1V_ Transportation Master Plan -this Plan is intricately connected with and may be incorporated into either Chapter I, Vail Village Master Plan, or Ghapter V, Land Use Plan. V. Land Use Plan The update of the 'Land Use plan needs to recognize new and evolving community priorities such as affordable housing, recreational uses, environmental concerns, community facilities, and other related land use issues. Vl. Comprehensive Open Lands Plan -The emphasis on land use, including recreation, the environment, public facilities, housing, and open space designates the update of Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as one of the most important. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan may be combined with Chapter V, Land Use Plan. VII. Environmental Strategic Plan -Because the environment and related issues are constantly in flux, the Plan should be Updated to reflect the community's goals, current problems, and their short-term and long-term solutions. Its attention to land use issues also necessitates its incorporation into Chapter V, Land Use Pfau. Vlll. Ford ParklDonovan Park Master Plan This plan will need to be edited only in the event that future decisions are made by the Town Council to allow seasonal parking as a conditional use at Ford Park. IX. Ford Park Management Plan The combination of this plan with the o#hers is more important than the update of this plan at this point in time. X Lionshead Redevelopment Masfer Plan The combination of this plan with the others is more important than the update of this plan at this point in time. ?CI. Municipal Cemetery Masfer Plan The combination of this plan with the others is more important than the update of this plan at this point in time. ~Clf_ Rrt In Public Places Strategic Plan The combination of this plan with the others is more important than the update of this plan at this point in time. 3 A mare complete summary of each of the planning documents is outlined in the memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, dated June 23, 2003, and attached for reference (attachment A). IV. OUTLINE OF THE TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE VAIL COMPREHENSIVE _. ... PLAN The purpose of this section of the staff memorandum is to present a proposed outline for the table of contents of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. The table of contents is a list of key elements that should be included in a comprehensive plan. While it is likely that the final adopted version of the table of contents of the plan will differ from that proposed, staff recommends that the fallowing basic outline of the table of contents be pursued in the formulation of the Vail Comprehensive Plan: Tabfe of Contents I.
