Memorandum
Subject: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for prescribed
regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town
Code, to amend Chapter 12 -13 -5, Employee Housing Deed Restriction
Exchange Program, Vail Town Code, to establish additional exchange methods
within the Employee Housing Unit Exchange Program, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC110018)
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by the Vail Local Housing Authority
Planner: Rachel Dimond / Nina Timm
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, the Town of Vail, represented by the Vail Local Housing Authority, is
requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for prescribed regulation
amendments, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend
Chapter 12 -13 -5, Employee Housing Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town
Code, to establish additional exchange methods within the Employee Housing Unit
Exchange Program, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VI of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Commission forwards a recommendation of approval subject to the
findings noted in Section V of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Some employee housing unit deed restrictions in the Town of Vail do not require an
employee to occupy the unit. Further, extensive Staff resources are utilized for
enforcement with employee housing deed restrictions. The Town created an EHU
Exchange Program to increase the number of employee occupied units while reducing
Staff resources spent on enforcement. However, this program has not been utilized, in
part, because of the onerous nature of the exchange. Specifically, in order to remove a
deed restriction, an owner would have to convey a dwelling unit that the Town would
then deed restrict and sell or rent at the Town's benefit with no payment to the owner.
The goals of the proposed text amendments are:
• To ensure there is deed restricted employee housing for 30% of Vail's workforce
• Turn non - performing /unoccupied EHUs into performing /occupied EHUs
• Provide additional options for EHU exchanges to improve participation in the
program
• Improve compliance with EHU deed restrictions
The existing exchange program regulations allow existing deed restricted employee
housing to have the deed restriction removed in exchange for giving the Town of Vail a
dwelling unit fee simple for the purpose of placing a deed restriction on that dwelling unit
and housing employees through the resale or rental of that employee housing unit.
According to the existing regulations, up to 20% of the required exchange square
footage may be paid by fee -in -lieu.
The proposed regulations create two new options for the exchange program:
1. Partial or full cash fee -in -lieu payment
2. Allow owners to keep proposed EHU instead of deeding unit to the Town of Vail
for rental or resale
The following are pros and cons for adopting the proposed regulations:
PROS:
• Allows removal of non - performing EHUs in exchange for EHUs that actually
house employees
• Creates a partnership with the community for the creation of more performing
EHUs
• Allows Town resources to be used more effectively for compliance instead of
enforcement
• Provision of cash to the Town of Vail will allow the Town to deed restrict a wider
variety of unit types
CONS:
• Allows deed restrictions to be removed from the commercial core, which could
reduce the dispersal of EHUs throughout the town and further concentrate EHUs
in less expensive neighborhoods
• The proposed program would allow EHU owners to pay their way out of their
employee housing commitment
• Due to changes in GRFA requirements, EHUs that are eliminated in the
commercial job core will not likely be replaced in a similar location
2
The proposed regulation amendments are as follows (text that is to be added is

III. BACKGROUND
On January 2, 2009, the Vail Town Council adopted the Employee Housing Unit
Exchange Program. The program allows owners of deed restricted employee housing
units (EHU) to exchange the existing deed restricted unit for another unit elsewhere in
the Town of Vail. The program applies to all non - appreciation capped, deed - restricted
employee housing units in Vail that are attached to a private residence and are not
required by the Town's Zoning Regulations to mitigate a development's impact.
There are currently 699 deed restricted employee housing units in Vail. There are
numerous variations within each of the restrictions. Generally, there are five categories
of restrictions based on the time the restriction was recorded.
1. Deed Restriction
2. Deed Restriction
3. Deed Restriction

5. Deed Restriction

• 31 EHUs are not required to be rented or provide annual verification
• 22 EHUs are not required to be rented and must provide annual verification
• 81 EHUs are owner - occupied and appreciation capped
• 45 EHUs are owned by the Town of Vail
• 108 EHUs are required to mitigate development impacts
• 198 EHUs are at Timber Ridge Village Apartments
• 142 EHUs are at Middle Creek Village Apartments
Approximately 125 EHUs are eligible to participate in the Employee Housing Deed
Restriction Exchange Program. Included in the 125 are 53 EHUs that are not required
to be employee occupied. The current Exchange Program does not take into account
the "reduced value" to the Town of Vail of those particular deed restrictions.
Amendments to the Exchange Program should take those EHUs into account. This will
allow the Town and those owners to achieve the Town's goal of increasing the number
of employee occupied units in Vail. Taking into account all of these factors, there are
+1- 75 EHU owners that could benefit or be able to utilize the Exchange Program.
As of April 11, 2011, the program has not fulfilled the goal of converting non - performing
EHUs into employee occupied, performing EHUs in Vail, as no one has utilized the
program. If no action is taken, this will likely continue to be the scenario, with no
participants in the program. This will further exacerbate the underlying problem of EHU
enforcement. Each year, Staff confirms compliance with the deed restriction through an
annual affidavit by EHU owners. However, the validity of certain information within the
affidavits has been called into question. Further, Town resources spent on the affidavit
process could be spent elsewhere if employee housing deed restrictions could be lifted
from non - performing EHUs.
On February 3, 2011, the Vail Town Council received a letter from a Vail property owner
requesting an amendment to the program to provide an additional method of exchange.
Based upon the letter and the fact that no one has utilized the program, Staff presented
proposed amendments at the Vail Town Council public hearing on March 1. Town
Council requested recommendations on the following proposals:
1. An exchange rate for units approved prior to Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1994,
that do not require the EHU to be occupied; and
2. A proposed method of exchange that may be financially more practical for a local
EHU owner to utilize the exchange program.
The Town Council requested Staff present the proposed amendments to the VLHA and
include their recommendation(s) in any proposed amendments.
At the March 23, 2011 VLHA meeting, the VLHA:
• Affirmed that allowing existing EHU owners to exchange a non - performing EHU
is a win -win for the Town, the existing EHU owner and employees
• Recognized the Exchange Program is an efficient use of Town resources
9
• Unanimously recommended adding additional methods of exchanging EHUs in
order to convert non - performing EHUs into performing EHUs
The VLHA recommended adding two new methods of exchanging an EHU in order to
increase the number of performing or occupied EHUs in Vail so that Vail may achieve
its goal of housing at least 30% of its workforce in deed restricted employee housing.
The recommended methods include a full cash payment option and a deed restriction
relocation option.
IV. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
Staff believes the following documents are relevant to the review of this proposal:
Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code (in part)
12 -1 -2: Purpose
A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and
harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community
of high quality.
B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific
purposes:
1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities.
2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and
other dangerous conditions.
3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to
lessen congestion in the streets.
4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading
facilities.
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values.
6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land
uses, consistent with municipal development objectives.
7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with
structures.
8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town.
9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable
natural features.
10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities
and facilities conducive to desired living quarters.
11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community.
12 -13 -1: Purpose: The town's economy is largely tourist based and the health of this
economy is premised on exemplary service for Vail's guests. Vail's ability to provide
such service is dependent upon a strong, high quality and consistently available work
force. To achieve such a work force, the community must work to provide quality living
and working conditions. Availability and affordability of housing plays a critical role in
10
creating quality living and working conditions for the community's work force. The town
recognizes a permanent, year round population plays an important role in sustaining a
healthy, viable community. Further, the town recognizes its role in conjunction with the
private sector in ensuring housing is available.
V. REVIEW CRITERIA
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific
purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and
Staff finds the text amendments further the general and specific purposes of the
Zoning Regulations. Specifically, the purpose of the text amendments is to exchange
non - performing (under - utilized) EHUs for performing EHUs. This in turn will further
the Town's goal of providing deed - restricted employee housing for 30% of the
workforce. This will further the specific goals of the Zoning Regulations, including
conserving and maintaining "established community qualities and economic values,"
encouraging "a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses,
consistent with municipal development objectives" and "to otherwise provide for the
growth of an orderly and viable community."
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better
achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies
outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the
development objectives of the Town; and
The Town of Vail adopted the Employee Housing Strategic Plan on September 2,
2008 and established the goal "to ensure there is deed restricted housing for at least
30% of Vail's workforce within the Town of Vail." Increasing the number of
performing EHUs with the Exchange Program will further the Town's efforts in
achieving its adopted goal.
As of April 11, 2011, the program has not fulfilled the goal of converting non-
performing EHUs into employee occupied, performing EHUs in Vail, as no one has
utilized the program. If no action is taken, this will likely continue to be the scenario,
with no participants in the program. The current policy has not been effective in
increasing the number of occupied EHUs in Vail. The proposed amendments will
increase Vail's ability to control the requirements, occupancy, and types of future
EHUs. Additionally, the proposed amendments allow the Town the flexibility to
provide a wider variety of EHU types than has historically been offered in Vail.
The proposed regulations will also further the goal of the Town of Vail to use
resources efficiently. Each year, Staff confirms compliance with the deed restriction
through an annual affidavit by EHU owners. However, the validity of certain
information within the affidavits has been called into question. Further, Town
resources spent on the affidavit process could be spent elsewhere if employee
housing deed restrictions could be lifted from non - performing EHUs. The proposed
regulations will increase the Town's efficiency and occupancy of EHUs.
11
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 Exchange Program has not been utilized since it was adopted in January 2009.
Staff believes the changes in real estate values since the time when most employee
housing units were built and when the EHU Exchange Program was adopted have
changed substantially enough to warrant amending the subject regulation.
Additionally, the current regulations do not reflect the Town's focus on increasing the
qualitative aspects of employee housing units.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal
development objectives.
The proposed regulation amendment requires the exchange EHU remain in full
compliance with the Town's zoning regulations. This will prevent a property owner
from benefiting unfairly from the proposed amendment. EHUs are allowed in all
residential zone districts therefor future EHUs will also be in full compliance with the
Town's zoning regulations.
Therefore, Staff believes the proposed text amendments will facilitate and provide a
harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations
consistent with the Town of Vail master plans and development objectives.
5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission and /or Council deem
applicable to the proposed text amendment.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and
Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town
Council for prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Chapter 12 -13 -5, Employee Housing Deed
Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code, to establish additional exchange
methods within the Employee Housing Unit Exchange Program, and setting forth details
in regard thereto.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a
recommendation of approval of this request, the Community Development
Department recommends the Commission pass the following motion:
"The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of
approval to the Vail Town Council for prescribed regulation amendments,
pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Chapter 12-
13-5, Employee Housing Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code,
to establish additional exchange methods within the Employee Housing Unit
Exchange Program, and setting forth details in regard thereto. "
12
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed text
amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission
makes the following findings:
"Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of Staff's April 11,
2011 memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and
Environmental Commission finds:

adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive
Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town, and
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
Zoning Regulations outlined in Section 12 -1 -2, Purpose, and 12 -13 -1
Purpose, Vail Town Code, and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious

Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and Adjacent Property Owners
Re: A report to the Planning and Environmental Commission on the administrator's
approval of an amendment to an existing conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-
16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for changes to a private
outdoor recreation facilities, as a primary use, in the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District,
located at 560 East Lionshead Circle /Lot 2, Vail Lionshead 6th Filing, and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC110019)
Applicant: Vail Corporation, represented by Jeff Babb
Planner: Rachel Dimond
Dear Planning and Environmental Commission members and adjacent property owners:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Town of Vail Staff has approved an
amendment to the approved conditional use permit for the Lionshead miniature golf course in
order to reduce the size of the course from 18 to 9 holes and to move the entire course onto Lot
2, Vail Lionshead 6 Filing.
Initially, the miniature golf course was approved to be constructed on Lot 2, Vail Lionshead 6th
Filing and Tract B, Vail Lionshead First Filing. Tract B is zoned Agriculture and Open Space
District, and active recreation areas are a permitted use in this district. Lot 2 is zoned
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District, and private outdoor recreation facilities, as a primary use, is a
conditional use. On April 12, 2010, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
conditional use permit for a private outdoor recreation facility on Lot 2 and Tract B. Since that
approval, the applicant found that there are legal covenants placed on Tract B that prevent the
construction of a miniature golf course. As a result, the applicant amended their application to
include only nine holes contained entirely on Lot 2.
A site plan detailing this amendment is attached for reference. Larger scale plans are available
for inspection at the Town of Vail Community Development Department during regular business
hours.
The Town of Vail Staff has determined that this amendment to the approved Lionshead
miniature golf course conditional use permit meets the review criteria prescribed by Section 12-
16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code. This administrative approval of a conditional
use permit amendment will be reported to the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental
Commission at its Monday, April 11, 2011 public hearing at 1:00 p.m. in the Vail Town Council
Chambers, located at 75 South Frontage Road West. The Planning and Environmental
Commission reserves the right to "call up" this administrative action for additional review at this
hearing. This administrative action may also be appealed by an adjacent property owner, any
aggrieved or adversely affected person, or the Vail Town Council as outlined in Section 12 -3 -3,
Appeals, Vail Town Code.
Based on the conditions placed on the conditional use permit by the Planning and
Environmental Commission on April 12, 2010, Staff approved the conditional use permit
amendment with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall install all fully cut -off light fixtures less than 18 inches above
grade. Lights shall be turned off when the miniature golf course is closed.
2. The applicant shall install wildlife resistant trash containers on site to match
existing trash containers in the vicinity, or shall remove all trash daily in
compliance with the Vail Town Code.
3. The applicant shall, if deemed necessary by the Town after a joint site visit once
the snow is melted, relocate /regrade the east end of the Gore Valley Trail within
this project area to provide the safest reasonable configuration to accommodate
site distance and provide a reasonable grade for the bike path in this area.
4. The applicant may make minor changes to the layout of the golf course holes
and shall submit an as -built plan to the Town of Vail prior to final inspections.
Should Town Staff deem the changes to be significant, the Applicant shall submit
a changes to approved plans application for review.
5. The applicant shall install signage along the pedestrian path crossings per the
Town of Vail's sign program for the Gore Valley Trail. Signage on Gore Valley
Trail shall be considered "Government signs, including directional signs, to
control traffic or for other regulatory purposes" and shall be exempt from the
review process. The applicant shall submit a design review application for all
other signage on site, including any Business ID signs.
6. The applicant shall install fencing along the Gore Valley Trail a minimum of two
(2) feet from the edge of asphalt and shall maintain said fencing during the
summer months each year that the miniature golf course is operational.
7. The applicant shall paint crosswalks on the Gore Valley Trail at each crossing
within the Miniature Golf Course.
8. The applicant shall submit a weed management plan and gain approval of this
plan by Town Staff prior to construction. The approved plan shall be implemented
during construction to remove and /or control all noxious and invasive plants.
9. No additional amplified sound shall be permitted to be installed on -site and any
noise associated with this project shall not exceed maximum noise levels as
outlined in the Vail Town Code.
10. The applicant shall install a four rail, split rail fencing along the Gore Valley Trail.
11. The applicant shall refinish /paint /upgrade the existing split rail fencing to match
the quality of the newly installed fencing.
12. This approval of a conditional use permit shall expire on April 11, 2014.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 970 - 479 -2440.
