Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 27, 2014
SUBJECT: A request for a final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter
13-12, Exemption Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for
the combination of two lots into a single lot, located at 701 and 705 West
Lionshead Circle/parts of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130044)
Applicant: Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by The Wells Partnership
Planner: Joe Batcheller
I. SUMMARY
The applicants, Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by The Wells Partnership, are
requesting approval of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-12, Exemption
Plat Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the combination of two lots into a
single lot, located at 701 and 705 West Lionshead Circle/parts of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail
Lionshead Filing 3. The purpose of the proposed plat is to combine Parcels A and B
which are comprised of portions of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3 into a single
lot to facilitate the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex with
the Strata project. The proposed final plat amendment results in the creation of a single
lot measuring 1.569 acres or 68,345 square feet. Staff is recommending approval of
this application subject to the findings and criteria outlined in Section VIII of this
memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicants, Lionshead Inn LLC, Represented by The Wells Partnership, are
requesting to eliminate a shared property line between Parcels A and B which were
created from parts of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3. The elimination of the
property line results in the creation of Lot 1 of the Strata Vail Subdivision. The
combination of the two parcels results in the creation of a single lot measuring 1.569
acres or 68,345 square feet. The purpose of the proposed plat is to combine Parcels A
and B which are comprised of portions of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3 into a
single lot to facilitate the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex
1
with the Strata project. Currently both parcels proposed to be combined have structures.
A new single structure is proposed to replace these existing structures.
A vicinity map is attached depicting the subject property (Attachment A), as well as a
reduced copy of the proposed, reconfigured plat, entitled Exemption Plat, Strata Vail, A
portion of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead 3rd Filing, A Part Of Section 6, Township 5
South, Range 80 West Of The 6t Principal Meridian, Town of Vail, County of Eagle,
State Of Colorado (Attachment B).
III. BACKGROUND
The subject property was annexed into the Town of Vail by Ordinance No. 8, Series of
1969, which became effective on August 23, 1969.
The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Annex (Fabulous Vail Glo), and Enzian were initially
developed as a single project in the late 1960's and early 1970's. They were later
subdivided onto separate parcels resulting in the existing Enzian structure being located
on a parcel which is enclosed by the lot the Lionshead Inn is located upon.
On October 22, 2007, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a major
exterior alteration, conditional use permit for multi-family residential units on the first
floor, and a conditional use permit for a private parking lot, to facilitate the
redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex. The project was named
Fogata at the time of this approval. The name has since been changed to Strata.
On June 9, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an exemption
plat for Strata of the exact same nature as this PEC application. The final plat was not
registered however, and the approval of which subsequently expired as a result on June
9, 2009.

TOWN OF VAlt '
Memorandum
To: Planning and Environmental Commission
From Community Development Department
Date: January 27, 2014
Subject: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment
to a Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-
9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in
gross residential floor area to facilitate additions to existing dwelling units, located
at 100 East Meadow Units 501 and 502 (Vail Village Inn Phase 3) /Lot O, Block
5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130046)
Applicant: Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architect
Planner: Jonathan Spence
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architect, is requesting a
recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment to Special
Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment
Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in gross residential floor area to
facilitate additions to existing dwelling units, located at 100 East Meadow, Units 501 and
502, (Vail Village Inn Phase 3).
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a
recommendation of approval, with conditions, of the major amendment to Special
Development District (SDD) No. 6, Vail Village Inn, subject to the findings noted in
Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to add approximately 277 square feet of GRFA to Unit 501
and approximately 515 square feet of GRFA to Unit 502. Components of this project
include:
• The entry area of the main floor of Unit 501 will expand into the existing common
area, capturing 103 square feet of floor area. This expansion coincides with a
complete interior remodel of that level.
• The existing 322 square foot loft of Unit 501 is proposed to be remodeled to
include a bedroom suite and loft area with an increase of 174 square feet.
• A new roof element is being added to Unit 501 to meet egress requirements for
the bedroom suite and loft area. The roof will present as a dormer on the north
elevation and as a gable end element on the south elevation. The ridgeline of the
proposed gable matches the existing ridgeline of the building.
• Unit 502 is proposing an interior remodel that includes a new loft in the attic area
above the unit currently occupied by a suspended mechanical mezzanine. The
mechanicals will be relocated and the 515 square foot loft will consist of an
exercise room with an attached bath and steam room.
• A dormer is proposed to provide natural lighting. This dormer is lower than the
existing tower elements.
• The south deck on Unit 501 will be enlarged to the east and the existing door and
window configuration will be changed to a single, five unit slider door.
• The south decks on floors 2, 3 and 4, below Unit 501, will be modified in a similar
manner to above. The enlargement of the decks will carry the window theme and
the new dormer element cleanly through the building.
The applicant has provided a written description of their request, (Attachment A) and
plans, (Attachment B), both dated December 30, 2013.
III. BACKGROUND
In 1976, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1976, establishing
Special Development District No.6, Vail Village Inn. The purpose of SDD No.6 is to
assure the comprehensive development and use of an area of land in a manner that
would be harmonious with the general character of the town, provide adequate open
space and recreation amenities, and promote the objectives of the zoning ordinance
of the town. Ordinarily, a special development district will be created only when the
development is regarded as complementary to the Town by the Town Council, Planning
and Environmental Commission, and Design Review Board, and there are significant
aspects of the development which cannot be satisfied under the existing zoning.
Project History:
The following is a summary of the existing phases and development for the Vail
Village Inn Special Development District (SDD No. 6):
Phase I- This phase consists of the buildings located at the southeast corner of
the District. Phase I includes one residential dwelling unit approximately 3,927
square feet in size and nine commercial/retail spaces. The original development
Town of Vail Page 2
plan for Phase I called for 16,128 square feet of commercial space, and no
GRFA. The Alpenrose Restaurant is part of Phase 1.
Phase 11- This phase consists of three residential dwelling units totaling
approximately 3,492 square feet in size and three commercial/retail spaces.
Phase 11 is generally located in the center of the District.
Phase III- This Phase consists of twenty-nine residential dwelling units totaling
approximately 44,830 square feet in size and six commercial/retail spaces.
Phase III is located at the northeast corner of the District.
Phase IV- This is the original and oldest Phase in the District. This Phase
consists of one residential dwelling unit approximately 5,000 square feet in size
and seventy- two accommodation units comprising approximately 16,585 square
feet of floor area. Phase IV is generally located in the northeast corner of the
District.
Phase V- This Phase consists of eleven residential dwelling units and three
accommodation units totaling approximately 9,972 square feet of floor area and
four commercial/retail spaces. Phase V is located in the southwest corner of the
District at the intersection of Vail Road and East Meadow Drive.
Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985 (March, 1985) granted 120,600 square feet of GRFA to
SDD No. 6. This ordinance also required a minimum of 175 accommodation units (AUs)
and 72,400 square feet of GRFA, devoted entirely to AUs in Phase IV.
Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987 (May, 1987), amended Phase IV of SDD No. 6. The
amendment allowed Phase IV to be broken into two distinct and separate phases, which
were called Phase IV and Phase V. This ordinance also set the maximum GRFA for the
SDD at 120,600 square feet. Further, the ordinance required a minimum of 148 AUs
and 67,367 square feet of GRFA devoted to AUs in Phases IV and V.
Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1989 (November, 1989) amended the density section of
SDD No. 6. This ordinance modified the SOD by increasing the allowable GRFA to a
total of 124,527 square feet. This allowed Unit No. 30 (originally Good's retail) in the Vail
Village Plaza Condominiums to be converted from commercial to residential use. The
space consists of 3,927 square feet of GRFA, and the conversion to residential use has
been completed. This ordinance also maintained the approval for a minimum of 148
AUs and 67,367 square feet of GRFA, devoted to AUs, in Phases IV and V of SDD
No.6.
Ordinance No. 1 and No. 4, Series of 2000, a major amendment to Special
Development District No. 6 was approved to allow for construction of the Vail Plaza
Hotel.
Town of Vail Page 3
Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for
Phase II, which brought the total allowable GRFA for the entire SDD No. 6 to 182,325
square feet.
Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for
Phase IV (i.e. Vail Plaza Hotel), and did not specify, in the form of a revised Approved
Development Plan, the total allowable GRFA for the entirety of SDD No. 6.
Ordinance No. 32, Series of 2003, adopted a major amendment to SDD No. 6, allowing
for the construction of a new dwelling unit above the Alpenrose Restaurant location,
which increase the amount of allowable GRFA for the entire SDD to 184,708 sq. ft. and

VII. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment
application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall
consider the following factors with respect to the proposal:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
In contrast to other phases of SDD #6, Phase III has seen relatively few amendments.
The structure has seen minor changes since its original construction, mainly exterior
window updates and interior remodels, but remains largely unchanged from its original
construction. The proposed modifications will add some interest and detail to the
building and assists in its relationship to the more recently constructed adjacent
properties.
Town of Vail Page 6
Staff believes that the proposed additions are compatible with the neighborhood related
to architectural design and style. The additions will have a minor effect on the building's
perceived mass and scale. The application has followed the guidelines recommended in
the Vail Village Urban Design Standards by locating the infill out of sun/shade or views
as illustrated by the drawings below:

The proposal complies with the overall height limit of the district and is compatible with
the character of the neighborhood. The improvements to the lower level decks on the
south elevation assist greatly in tying the new gabled dormer into the building's
architecture and helps also with the how building reads to the viewer.
Staff finds the proposal does comply with this criterion.
Town of Vail Page 7
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The proposal does not propose to change any of the uses, activity, or densities which
are currently constructed within the project. The proposal to increase the allowable
GRFA within the SDD requires mitigation of the impacts to employee generation
pursuant to Chapter 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code. The applicant has
stated in their written materials that the pay-in-lieu option would be selected if the
proposal were approved. An increase in the allowable GRFA by 792 square feet results
in a pay-in-lieu fee of$10,664.00 (79.2 s.f. x $134.65).
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
The proposal to add approximately 792 square feet of GRFA to Units 501 and 502 do
not change the required parking or loading and delivery requirements for the
development.
As a component of the approval for the Sebastian-Vail, the developer was required to
provide a centralized loading and delivery facility for the use of all owners and tenants
within SDD #6 and also to be made available for public and/or private loading and
delivery programs. The continued use of this facility is vital in mitigating the loading and
delivery impacts upon Vail Village.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
Staff has reviewed the Vail comprehensive plan and found the following documents and
associated goals, objectives, statements applicable to this proposal.
Vail Land Use Plan (in part)
1. General Growth / Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
4. Village Core / Lionshead
Town of Vail Page 8
4.1. Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in
existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core
areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery.
4.2. Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing
character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban
Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan.
4.3. The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should
be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains,
natural settings, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental
quality.)
5. Residential
5.1. Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing,
platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not
exist.
Vail Village Master Plan (in part)
V. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND ACTION STEPS
GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING
UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SCALE OF THE VILLAGE IN ORDER TO
SUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITYAND IDENTITY.
Objective 1.1. Implement a consistent development review process to reinforce the
character of the Village.
Policy 1.1.1: Development and improvement projects approved in the Village
shall be consistent with the goals, objectives, policies and design considerations
as outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan.
Obiective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and
commercial facilities.
Policy 1.2.1: Additional development may be allowed as identified by the Action
Plan and as is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design
Guide Plan.
VII. VAIL VILLAGE SUB-AREAS
A major goal of this Plan is to address the Village as a whole and at the same
time be sensitive to the opportunities and constraints that may exist on a site
Town of Vail Page 9
specific basis. To facilitate long range planning unique to each area of the
Village, ten different sub-areas are delineated in this Plan. Sub-areas were
determined based on a number of different considerations. Foremost among
these were:
• design and site characteristics
• geographic or physical boundaries
• land uses and ownership patterns
Each of the ten sub-areas have been evaluated relative to the overall goals,
objectives, and policies outlined for Vail Village. The potential improvement
projects, referred to as sub-area concepts, which have emerged from this
evaluation are graphically represented on the Action Plan. These sub-area
concepts are physical improvements intended to reinforce the desired physical
form of the Village as outlined in the various elements of the Master Plan.
The 10 sub-areas (which follow), provide detailed descriptions of each sub-area
concept and express the relationship between the specific sub-area concepts
and the overall Plan. The applicable goals and objectives are cited for each of
the sub area concepts at the end of each description under "special emphasis."
The sub-area concepts described in this Section are meant to serve as advisory
guidelines for future land use decisions by the Planning and Environmental
Commission and the Town Council. Compliance with the sub-area concepts
does not assure development approval by the Town.
It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for
those proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan. The
Urban Design Guide Plan includes additional design detail that is to be used in
conjunction with the Vail Village Master Plan sub-area concepts.

The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity.
There have been no changes to the Vail Comprehensive Plan with regard to the
documents which address this site. Staff believes the proposed changes do not have
an overall negative impact to the intent of stepping building height up from the
pedestrian oriented East Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road East.
The proposed building additions are consistent with the infill recommendations of the
Vail Village Urban Design Guidelines. The additions are located such that their impacts
on adjacent properties and on the pedestrian experience are minimal to nonexistent.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
SSD #6 is not located within any identified geologic hazard.
Town of Vail Page 11
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
The proposal does not include any changes to the site plan, building footprint design or
location, or open space provisions.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
The proposal does not include any changes to the pedestrian or vehicular circulation on
or off site.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
The proposal does not include any changes to the landscaping or open space on the
site as identified on the approved development plan.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The proposal is intended to be constructed in one phase. Staging for any construction
related activity will be reviewed by the Town of Vail staff to ensure impacts are
minimized to public rights-of-way and adjacent properties. It is anticipated that the use
of the South Frontage Road East right-of-way will be necessary. This right-of-way is
controlled by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and will require all
appropriate review and permits from CDOT should the project move forward.
Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion.
10. Public Benefit: The proposed deviations provide benefits to the town must
outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations.
Town of Vail Page 12
Staff does not believe this proposal warrants any additional public benefits, beyond the
codified provisions for the mitigation of employee housing.

I. Introduction
The owners of units 501 and 502, Lublan S.A., represented by Loguer Design and Eggers
Architecture, Inc., are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No.6
(SDD#6) to allow for the remodel and expansion of their units. Unit 501 (parcel #: 2101-
082-54-027) is proposing to increase the GRFA by 277 square feet and includes exterior
changes to the building including the addition of secondary roof forms. Unit 502 (parcel #:
2101-082-54-028) is proposing to increase the GRFA by 515 square feet and includes the
addition of secondary roof forms. The modification of Unit 502 also includes the relocation
of an existing mechanical mezzanine to a newly constructed area with a net square
footage loss of 49 square feet. According to Section 12-9A-2: Definitions, Vail Town Code,
an increase of GRFA is considered a Major SDD Amendment.
Unit 501 is proposing to undergo a complete interior remodel. The current plan includes 4
bedrooms, 4 baths and major living spaces on the main level of 2145 square feet. This
plan has a loft area overlooking the main living space that includes 322 square feet. The
remodel proposes to redesign the main level into three bedrooms and baths with an entry
area expanded in to the common hallway between units 501 and 502. The new square
footage of the main level will be 2248 square feet, an increase of 103 square feet.
Additionally, the loft area will be remodel to include a bedroom suite and loft area
overlooking the common area. This new space will include 496 square feet of space, an
increase of 174 square feet. Total new GRFA will be 2744 square feet or an increase of
277 square feet on both levels. In order to meet egress requirements for the bedroom on
the loft level, a new roof element is being added. The roof will present as a dormer on the
north elevation and as a gable end element on the south elevation. The ridge line of the
proposed gable matches the existing ridgeline of the building and does not represent a
change is the building height. As a part of this south facing roof structure, it is proposed to
modify the existing door and window configuration to a single multi-unit sliding door with a
wider deck. The size and configuration of the gable element is consistent with the existing
gable elements on the south elevation.
Unit 502 is proposing to remodel the existing kitchen/living area and update the bathrooms
in the unit. Additionally, a loft is proposed in the attic area immediately above the unit.
There currently exists a suspended mechanical mezzanine between the ceiling of the Unit
502 and the structural roof members. This loft area is 150 square feet is size. By
relocating and constructing a new mechanical area in the attic space immediately adjacent
and above the common area, the attic space can be utilized as living space by Unit 502.
This area is proposed as an exercise room with an attached bath and steam room. A
dormer is proposed for this area to allow for natural lighting. The roof element is above the
main ridgeline of the building but lower than the two elevator tower units on each side of
the dormer. This proposed loft represents an increase in the GRFA of 515 square feet to
the unit.
Floor plans of the proposed changes are provided below:

SDD #6 was adopted by Ordinance No. 7 of 1976 and has undergone multiple
amendments since is adoption. Most of the amendments have been associated with the
other phases of the SDD. The structure has seen minor changes since its original
construction, mainly exterior window updates and interior remodels, but remains largely
unchanged from its original construction. The proposed modifications will be add some
exterior detail and update the appearance of the building to match the architectural
detailing of the more recently constructed adjacent properties. See photo of the frontage
road view taken from the north side of the highway:
dk
Vail Village Inn deviates from the maximum height limitation set forth in the Public
Accommodation zone district of 48 feet for sloped roofs. Building heights were defined by
number of stories in the original adoption of SDD#6 and further illustrated in a drawing
created by consultants Royston, Hanamoto, Beck and Abey dated February 12, 1976. The
building was constructed according to these height restrictions and has not been modified
since. The new major gable element matches the existing ridgeline and the new dormer is
lower in height than the existing elevator shaft roof elements, therefore not affecting the
overall building height. See drawing below:

IV. Criteria for Review for the Major Amendment to a Special Development District
Section 12-9A-8: Design Criteria and Necessary Findings in the Vail Town Code provides
the criteria for review of a Major Amendment to a Special Development District. Below is a
listing of the criteria and how the proposal complies with each:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
Proposed: The architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity,
character, visual integrity and orientation remains largely unchanged as a result of the
proposed amendment. The roof changes align with the existing ridge, there fore the height
remains the same as constructed.
Fril
m m
The massing and detailing of the gable elements is consistent with the adjacent gable
ends on the building and the added elements add a level of architectural character evident
on the newer adjacent properties.
Since originally constructed, the character and level of architectural detailing of the village
has increased dramatically. Adjacent buildings have been approved with greater heights
and the proposed modifications are compatible with the immediate environment.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Proposed: There is no change to the use, activity or number of dwelling units within the
proposed amendment. The increase is GRFA is consistent with the intent of Chapter 15 of
the Vail Town Code and without the size of the roof elements would qualify as a minor
amendment to the SDD.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in
chapter 90 of this title.
Proposed: The addition of GRFA does not affect the parking requirements for the units
and is unchanged.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive
plan, town policies and urban design plans.
Proposed: Village Inn Plaza is within the boundaries of the Vail Village Master Plan and
further located within Mixed Use Sub-Area #1. The following objectives of the master plan
are applicable to this application:
Obiective 1.2:
Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities.
Objective 2.5:
Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing lodging and
commercial facilities to better serve the needs of our guests.
5. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic
hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed.
Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements.
6. Design Features. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements as there are no
changes proposed for the site plan.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off site traffic circulation.
Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize
and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional
and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district.
Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements.
