Since the acquisition, the Town of Vail, in participation with the West Vail neighborhood and the Chamonix Advisory Committee, completed and adopted a master plan for the future development of the site. The Chamonix Master Plan was first adopted by the Vail Town Council in 2005, and the plan was subsequently amended in 2009. The most significant change resulting from the amendment approval was the ability to gain vehicular access to the duplex units from Chamonix Lane. In the end, the "Neighborhood Block Scheme" was selected by the community as the preferred alternative for future development on the site. Developing affordable housing on the Chamonix Parcel is a development objective of the Town of Vail. Determining the potential viability for affordable housing to be built on the Chamonix Parcel and completing a first phase of development on the property has been identified as a key initiative of the Vail Town Council. In the end, this action helps achieve the Town Council's adopted goal of "growing a thriving and balanced community'. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, the Town of Vail, is requesting approval of a development plan to allow for the future development of deed restricted employee housing units on the Town -owned Chamonix Parcel, located at 2310 Chamonix Road. A development plan approval is required, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Development Plan Required, of the Vail Town Code to guide and direct development within the Housing District. Once adopted, an approved development plan, along with any applicable land use regulations contained in the Town's Zoning Regulations, becomes the principal governing document for land use and dimensional requirements and limitations on the property. The development plan shall remain in effect for the life of the development, and may be amended from time to time, as deemed appropriate, as part of an established development review process. Chamonix Vail — Vail's Newest Residential Neighborhood for Families in West Vail is an exciting new residential development aimed at creating, maintaining and sustaining community within the Town of Vail. The Town of Vail is initiating this new development and has partnered with a local development team to realize the goals of the new neighborhood. Located at 2310 Chamonix Road in West Vail, Chamonix Vail is the result of nearly two years of planning and design. Chamonix Vail is being built for year round residents of the Town of Vail that are intending to make their home in the Chamonix Vail neighborhood their primary residence. To that end, and in keeping with purpose of the underlying zoning of Housing District of the development site, Chamonix Vail is a mix of 32, two and three-bedroom, deed restricted townhomes appropriately located on the 3.54 acre site. The new townhomes are being developed as a for -sale residential product. Newtown homes range in size from approximately 1,130 square feet for the smallest sized two-bedroom home to nearly 2,100 square feet for the largest three-bedroom home. All of the townhomes have an open concept living level floor plan and the buildings have been oriented on the site to take advantage of the southeasterly views and passive solar gain. Vehicular access to and from the new neighborhood is by a shared private drive entrance off of Chamonix Road. The new townhome development has been designed with the needs of residents of Vail and the existing surrounding residential and commercial uses in mind. Each of the new townhomes includes: • Adequate off street parking with all homes having a minimum of one enclosed parking space, with most having two. • Ample indoor storage/closet spaces provided throughout the homes. • Durable and long lasting building materials such as cementitious, stucco and metal siding, 30 -year asphalt shingle roofs, low -e window glazing, R-40+ insulation, high efficiency mechanical systems, energy -star rated appliances, and longer life cycle interior finishes. • Appropriately sized outdoor patio space. • Protected front and rear entries thereby minimizing the need for gutters and downspouts. • Low maintenance/low water use landscape. • Shared outdoor common area complete with play area and a neighborhood community garden. • Easy pedestrian access to the community commercial area of West Vail and the local in - town bus route. The first of the new townhomes in the Chamonix Vail neighborhood are scheduled for completion in late 2017. Full build out of the development could be completed as soon as early 2018, depending upon the phasing schedule. At this time, construction on the site is scheduled to begin in late April/early May 2017. Please see the attached narrative from the applicant entitled "Chamonix Vail Response to Design Review Criteria" dated 01-09-207 for further details regarding the project's schedule. III. BACKGROUND The Town of Vail has been exploring options for developing the community's newest residential neighborhood on the Town owned Chamonix parcel located in West Vail. This action helps achieve the Town Council's adopted goal of "growing a thriving and balanced community'. The Town Council affirmed a number of goals for the project. The goals include: IV • Optimize the use of the site for workforce for -sale housing • Design a context sensitive design solution • Ability to be phased over time • Deliver desirable, marketable and diverse types of housing products • Maximize the town's limited supply of financial resources • Build responsibly given the existing site configuration, topography and natural features of the site • Develop a diversified cost/sales structure to respond to a wider range of prospective buyers. The proposed Chamonix Vail development achieves the goals envisioned for the project. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS 2009 Chamonix Master Plan Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code (in part) V.

VI. ANALYSIS OF PRESCRIBED STANDARDS AND PARKING PROGRAM The Housing (H) District requires that the applicant propose and the PEC prescribe the development standards in the following categories upon review of the applicant's proposal: 1. Lot area and site dimensions. 2. Building height. 3. Density control (including gross residential floor area). In addition to the prescribed standards, the Housing (H) District also allows flexibility and PEC discretion in other standards, namely setbacks, site coverage and parking, when certain criteria are met. The Chamonix -Vail Development Plan does not propose to deviate from the setback and site coverage standards but does propose a parking program whose characteristics depart from a strict interpretation of the standard. Approval of these prescribed standards and the parking program are achieved through the development plan. Lot Area and Site Dimensions The Chamonix Vail Development Plan proposes no minimum lot area or site dimensions requirements. Any subsequent resubdivision of the Chamonix Parcel such as townhomes plat or condominium maps and plats shall adhere to the procedures of the Title 13, Subdivision Regulations of the Vail Town Code. Staff Analysis -The Chamonix Vail Development is not proposed to be done in a traditional lot layout but rather as a collection of structures, roadways, landscaping and amenities within a singular large lot. Future subdivision for ownership purposes will be achieved either through a townhome or condominium plat. Either approach will result in the majority of the land outside of the building footprints, including the roadway network, held in common by an owner's association. This approach is not uncommon for a multi -building, multi -family development. Similar development scenarios are present in Vail at the Booth Creek Townhomes and the Riverbend at Vail properties. Staff finds the proposed lot area and site dimensions standards to be consistent with the intent of the Housing (H) District, namely to provide an appropriately located and designed development that is harmonious with the surrounding uses. Building Height The maximum allowable building height with the Chamonix Vail Development shall be as demonstrated on the approved development plan. In no case shall the maximum height of any building exceed forty-four (44) feet for a sloping roof. Staff Analysis -The Chamonix -Vail Development's proposed maximum overall height of forty-four (44) feet is appropriate for the proposed style of housing, existing topography and the property's relationships with adjacent sites and uses. Although the development plan demonstrates all buildings being between thirty-eight (38) and forty-two (42) feet in overall height, most portions of buildings are lower and the perceived height from many vantage points reads a floor lower due to topography. A maximum height of forty-four (44) feet is slightly higher than the thirty-eight (38) foot maximum height of the Medium Density Multiple -Family (MDMF) District and is lower than the maximum height allowed in the High Density Multiple -Family (HDMF) District of forty-eight (48) feet. Staff finds the proposed maximum height of forty-four (44) feet to be consistent with the intent of the Housing District and sensitive to adjacent properties and their respective uses. Density Control Dwelling Units per Acre- A total density of 10.5 dwelling units per acre of buildable area is proposed for the Project. Gross Residential Floor Area- A total of up to 40,000 square feet of Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) is proposed for the Project. Staff Analysis- The proposed density of 10.5 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the Chamonix Master Plan and other multi -family zone districts in the Town of Vail. The density is greater than that permitted by the Low Density Multiple -Family (LDMF) District (9 units per acre of buildable site area) and less than the maximum density of eighteen (18) units per acre of buildable site area in the Medium Density Multiple -Family (MDMF) District. The proposed GRFA maximum of 40,000 square feet translates to a permitted allotment of twenty-nine (29) square feet of gross residential floor area (GRFA) permitted for each one hundred (100) square feet of buildable site area. If the interior roadways, but not driveways, were removed from the calculation, the allowable GRFA per one hundred (100) square feet of buildable site area would increase to thirty-six (36) square feet. This ratio is less than that permitted by the Low Density Multiple -Family (LDMF) District (forty-four (44) square feet of gross residential floor area (GRFA) shall be permitted for each one hundred (100) square feet of buildable site area). Staff finds the proposed density and GRFA to be consistent with the intent of the Housing (H) District and the Chamonix Master Plan and appropriate for the subject parcel. Parking Program The Vail Town Code requires two (2) off street parking spaces for each multi -family dwelling unit whose GRFA is more than 500 square feet but less than 2,000 square feet. All of the dwelling units contained within Chamonix Vail fall within these size parameters. In addition, the Vail Town Code requires that all required off street parking spaces be located five (5) feet or more from the edge of the roadway travel surface. In aggregate, the Chamonix Development Plan provides conforming parking spaces in excess of the number required. Some units, on a per unit basis, do not meet the two (2) space requirement because of the required off set from the travel way. As part of this approved development plan, a modification to the number of required spaces meeting the five (5) foot offset requirement is proposed. The development proposes forty-nine (49) code compliant enclosed parking spaces, twenty-six (26) code compliant driveway surface spaces and thirty-eight (38) driveway spaces that meet the code requirement for size, but not the required five (5) foot offset from the travel way. In addition, five (5) guest spaces are also proposed. Staff Analysis- Chamonix Vail proposes a total number of parking spaces, not including guest spaces, significantly in excess of that required by the Vail Town Code (113 proposed vs. 64 required or 3.5 spaces proposed per unit vs. 2 spaces required). Although thirty-eight (38) of these spaces do not meet the required off set from the adjacent travel surface, staff finds the proposed parking plan to be appropriate due to the following reasons: • Anticipated traffic volumes on the interior roadways do not present a safety concern despite the lack of a five (5) foot offset from the travel way. • Aggregate off street parking spaces have been proposed at a level significantly greater than that required by the Vail Town Code. VII. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING VIII. REVIEW CRITERIA According to Section 12-61-13, Development Standards/Criteria for Evaluation, of the Zoning Regulations of the Town of Vail, the following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluating a proposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria. A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. The Chamonix Vail neighborhood is an assemblage of ten buildings containing a total of 32 townhomes. The 32 townhomes are a mix of two and three-bedroom homes. As proposed, there are five floor plan designs; ten (10) two-bedroom homes and twenty-two (22) three- bedroom homes. All of the townhomes have been designed around a shared outdoor common area, complete with a play area and neighborhood community garden. The architectural design of Chamonix Vail is best described as a form of modern mountain architecture. As a result, many of the architectural forms and features seen in a more traditional mountain -style of architecture are included within the Chamonix Vail design, however, a more modern interpretation of the style is represented. This more modern style, with cleaner lines, use of metal siding, larger window openings, and its shallower roof forms, is best illustrated by the character of the exteriors. The exterior finishes include the use of cementitious, stucco, and metal panel siding. Many of the newer homes and buildings constructed more recently in West Vail have a similar style of design and character. The scale and massing of the ten (10) buildings is compatible with the existing and proposed residential character of the neighborhood. The buildings are a mix of two, two & one-half, and three story townhomes. Due to the southerly sloping aspect of the site, the first story of each of the buildings in buried into the hillside. This building layout not only allows for a walkout condition on the second level of all of the homes, but it also effectively hides much of the building mass on the site. That, combined with reduction in height and form at the ends of each of the buildings, ensures the mass of the buildings relate well to one another as well as compliment other structures in the vicinity. The orientation of the ten (10) buildings is responsive to the existing site conditions. As previously stated, the development site is southeasterly facing with a gradual downward northwest to southeast slope on the site. This affords southeasterly views and access to passive solar gain. The buildings have been laid out across the site in an east -west orientation to take full advantage of the views, passive solar gain and sloping topography. As a result of this parallel orientation to the existing grades, the building design requires the use of very few retaining walls Land Use Zoning North: Residential Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (P/S) South: Commercial Heavy Service District East: Commercial Heavy Service District/Commercial Core III West: Residential Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential (P/S) VIII. REVIEW CRITERIA According to Section 12-61-13, Development Standards/Criteria for Evaluation, of the Zoning Regulations of the Town of Vail, the following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluating a proposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria. A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. The Chamonix Vail neighborhood is an assemblage of ten buildings containing a total of 32 townhomes. The 32 townhomes are a mix of two and three-bedroom homes. As proposed, there are five floor plan designs; ten (10) two-bedroom homes and twenty-two (22) three- bedroom homes. All of the townhomes have been designed around a shared outdoor common area, complete with a play area and neighborhood community garden.

Many of the newer homes and buildings constructed more recently in West Vail have a similar style of design and character. The scale and massing of the ten (10) buildings is compatible with the existing and proposed residential character of the neighborhood. The buildings are a mix of two, two & one-half, and three story townhomes. Due to the southerly sloping aspect of the site, the first story of each of the buildings in buried into the hillside. This building layout not only allows for a walkout condition on the second level of all of the homes, but it also effectively hides much of the building mass on the site. That, combined with reduction in height and form at the ends of each of the buildings, ensures the mass of the buildings relate well to one another as well as compliment other structures in the vicinity. The orientation of the ten (10) buildings is responsive to the existing site conditions. As previously stated, the development site is southeasterly facing with a gradual downward northwest to southeast slope on the site. This affords southeasterly views and access to passive solar gain. The buildings have been laid out across the site in an east -west orientation to take full advantage of the views, passive solar gain and sloping topography. As a result of this parallel orientation to the existing grades, the building design requires the use of very few retaining walls with minimally sloping roads and driveways. All townhome front entrances and garage/driveways are south facing further minimizing the long term accumulation of winter snow and ice in these important locations. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. The buildings, improvements, uses and activities have been designed and located on the site to be functional and responsive to the site, surrounding neighborhood and the community as a whole. According to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the Chamonix Vail development site is designated Housing District. The proposed use of the site, whereby 100% of the development potential of the site is dedicated to deed restricted housing, is consistent with the intended use of the site and the development objectives of the Town of Vail. This residential use is in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and uses, as further represented in the Vail Land Use Plan. The residential buildings are functionally designed and the site plan is effectively laid out to optimize the use of the site. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and, when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. The landscape plan is both functional and aesthetic in design and preserves the natural sloping feature of the existing site. This is best illustrated by the minimal use of retaining walls and the lack of significant site disturbance to the most steeply sloping portions of the site. From the onset, the goal of the site plan layout was to remain clear of the steeper portions of the site. The Development Team achieved this goal as represented by the civil grading plan. The intent of the landscape design and materials is to have the more manicured areas of design adjacent to the buildings and allow for a more native landscape treatment away from the buildings and shared common areas. This design approach not only integrates well with the remaining more natural areas on the site, but it also reduces the cost of maintenance and use of natural resources, such as water. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. A safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation system has been designed for the Chamonix Vail neighborhood. The private drive has been designed for vehicular circulation on the site. This system was designed to fully comply with the design standards (ie width, drainage, sight distance, turning movements, etc.), including emergency vehicles, adopted by the Town of Vail for adequate access and safe and convenient circulation. To further ensure a functional vehicular circulation system, a total of 113 places have been provided for homeowners and their guests to park on the site. In many instances, four places to park have been provided per townhome. The overall parking ratio on the site is approximately 3.5 spaces per townhome. Pedestrian circulation has been addressed throughout the interior of the site. A pedestrian walkway has been designed to move residents from their homes to connect to places such as the shared common area and community garden, adjacent bus stops, on site mail boxes, and connections to off site pedestrian improvements. The applicant, however, is not proposing any off site pedestrian improvements. Instead, the applicant suggests the Town of Vail, through its capital projects planning, address any further or additional needs for off site pedestrian improvements. The Chamonix Vail development alone does not trigger the need for off site pedestrian improvements beyond what may otherwise already be necessary in the vicinity. More importantly, the Chamonix Vail development accommodates and addresses on site access needs. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. No significant environmental impacts were identified as a result of the applicant's proposal. Therefore, an environmental impact report was waived for this application. That said, the applicant did, however, at a substantial expense, upgrade the existing storm sewer in the vicinity of the development site to ensure adequate drainage and storm water treatment exists. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion F. Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. The Chamonix Vail Development Plan is in compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and advances the development objectives of the Town. For instance, the proposed development plan is consistent with the many goals and objectives of the Chamonix Master Plan through the creation of for -sale, deed restricted housing on the site. Further, the development plan fully complies with the Vail Transportation Master Plan, furthers the goals of the recently adopted Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan, is consistent with the Vail Land Use Plan, advances the Town of Vail Economic Development Plan, achieves the recommendations of the Town of Vail Environmental Strategic Plan, and furthers the actions/strategies outlined with the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan. Of equal importance, the proposed development plan complies with the purpose of the Housing District and meets or otherwise achieves compliance with each of the development standards, as prescribed for the Housing District. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this review criterion IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission, approves with conditions the applicants' request for a Development Plan pursuant to section 12-61- 11, Development Plan Required, Housing Zone District, Vail Town Code, to allow for the future development of Employee Housing Units on the Chamonix Parcel located at 2310 Chamonix Road, Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto (PEC150019).

Exhibit 1 Statement of Intent The purpose of the Chamonix Vail Approved Development Plan is to facilitate the completion of Vail's newest residential development for families on the town -owned property located at 2310 Chamonix Road/ Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1, in Vail, Colorado. It shall be the intent of this Approved Development Plan to develop, over a period of time, for -sale, deed -restricted, employee housing units in a mix of dwelling unit product types consistent with the recommendations of the 2011 Chamonix Master Plan. The Master Plan recommendations locate the highest densities of units on the south and east sides of the development site. The northern portion of the site is set aside for lesser densities to maintain the greatest compatibility with existing and adjacent neighborhoods. The western most portion of the site is unbuildable due to the presence of steep slopes. The undeveloped areas in and around the buildings and internal driveway system provides landscape areas and recreational opportunities for the residents living in the homes on the site. Development on the parcel is intended to achieve and further the seven (7) goals affirmed by the Vail Town Council in the adopted 2011 Chamonix Site Master Plan. The seven (7) goals of the plan are as follows: Chamonix Master Plan Goals o Optimize the use of the site for workforce, for -sale housing o Design a context sensitive design solution o Ability to be phased over time o Deliver desirable, marketable and diverse types of housing products o Maximize the town's limited supply of financial resources o Build responsibly given the existing site configuration and topography of the site o Develop a diversified cost/sales structure to respond to a wider range of buyers The approved development plan shall remain in effect for the life of the development, and may be amended from time to time, as deemed appropriate, as part of an established amendment procedure. Approved Development Plan To ensure unified development, protection of the natural environment, compatibility with the surrounding area and that development on the Chamonix Parcel meets the intent of the 2011 Chamonix Master Plan and development objectives of the Town of Vail, an approved development plan shall be required. The Chamonix Vail Approved Development Plan shall include this document and the attached Development Plan Set, dated January 23, 2017. III. General Information The Chamonix Vail is to be developed to meet the growing demand for for -sale, deed restricted employee housing in Vail. To that end, a mix of housing product types that are both desirable in the eyes of prospective buyers and marketable to persons and families choosing to make Vail, Colorado their place of primary residency is the intended outcome of the Chamonix Vail development. 2 Once adopted, an approved development plan, along with any applicable land use regulations contained in the Town's Zoning Regulations, become the principal governing documents for land use and dimensional requirements and limitations on the property. The development plan shall remain in effect for the life of the development, and may be amended from time to time, as deemed appropriate, as part of an established development review process. The Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, in effect at the time, shall prevail in the event that the Approved Development Plan is silent on a particular issue or is otherwise in conflict with a particular development standard or guideline. IV. Definitions Approved Development Plan: The set of development plans approved by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission on January 23, 2017 entitling development on the Chamonix Parcel. Chamonix Vail Parcel: The parcel of land legally described as Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, Town of Vail, County of Eagle, State of Colorado, as may be further subdivided, subject to Town of Vail review and approval. V. Development Standards According to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the Chamonix Vail Parcel is zoned Housing (H) District. Development on the Chamonix Vail Parcel shall be governed by the following development standards: A. PERMITTED USES: Permitted uses for the Chamonix Vail shall be those uses identified in Section 12-61-2: Permitted Uses, Vail Town Code. B. CONDITIONAL USES: Conditional uses for the Chamonix Vail shall be those uses identified in Section 12-61-3: Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code. C. ACCESSORY USES: Accessory uses for the Chamonix Vail shall be those uses identified in Section 12-61-4: Accessory Uses, Vail Town Code. D. SETBACKS: Setbacks for the Chamonix Vail shall be as contained in Section 12-61-5 Setbacks, Vail Town Code and as shown on the approved development plan. E. SITE COVERAGE: Site Coverage for the Chamonix Vail shall be as contained in Section 12-61-6 Site Coverage, Vail Town Code and as shown on the approved development plan. 3 F. LANDSCAPING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT: Landscaping for the Chamonix Vail shall be as contained in Section 12-61-7 Landscaping and Site Development, Vail Town Code and as shown on the approved development plan. G. PARKING AND LOADING: Off street parking shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 10 of the Vail Town Code. The Vail Town Code requires two (2) off street parking spaces for each multi- family dwelling unit whose Gross Residential Floor Area is more than 500 square feet but less than 2,000 square feet. All of the dwelling units contained with the Chamonix Neighborhood at West Vail fall within these size parameters. In addition, the Vail Town Code requires that all required off street parking spaces be located five (5) feet or more from the edge of the roadway travel surface. In aggregate, the Chamonix Vail Development Plan provides conforming parking spaces in excess of the number required. Some units, on a per unit basis, do not meet the two (2) space requirement because of the required off set from the travel surface. As part of this approved development plan, a modification to the number of required spaces meeting the five (5) foot offset requirement is approved. The approved parking for the Chamonix Vail Development Plan is illustrated on Parking Diagram, included as sheet 28 of the development plan. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: In the Housing (H) District, development standards in each of the following categories shall be as proposed by the applicant as prescribed by the planning and environmental commission, and as adopted on the approved development plan: 1. Lot area and site dimensions. There shall be no minimum lot area or site dimensions requirements. Any subsequent resubdivision of the Chamonix Parcel such as townhomes plat or condominium maps and plats shall adhere to the procedures of the Title 13, Subdivision Regulations of the Vail Town Code. 2. Building height. The maximum allowable building height with the Chamonix Parcel shall be as demonstrated on the approved development plan. In no case shall the maximum height of any building in the Chamonix Development exceed forty-four (44) feet. 3. Density Control Dwelling Units per Acre - A total density of 10.5 dwelling units per acre of buildable area is approved for the Project. 0 Gross Residential Floor Area A total of up to 40,000 square of Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) is approved for the Project. VI. Open Space/Recreation Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces are permitted uses within the development. Each of these uses are an important element of the development and critical to ensuring the creation of a desirable neighborhood for families. The open space area provides opportunities to protect the more steeply sloping hillside on the westerly end of the project and creates areas to plant landscape buffers between the development and the adjacent commercial uses. It is, however, important to make the outdoor areas within the project more than just open/green space. The open space and recreation areas shall developed consistent with the improvements shown on the Landscape Plan.. VII. Phased Development Development of the Chamonix Vail parcel may be completed over time and in a series of development phases. According to findings of the Market Analysis — Chamonix For -Sale Employee Housing, dated March 30, 2014, completed by Rees Consulting, Inc., phasing of the development from a marketability stand point will likely not be necessary. However, pre -sales conditions, mortgage availability, pricing and sales structure, construction financing options, development approach, market risk tolerance, down valley competition, and absorptions rates, for example, all weigh heavily on the Town's ability to complete the development in a single phase. A phased development approach reduces risk, provides flexibility, is more responsive to a changing market, and allows the development to better target certain segments of the buyer's market in an effort to meet the affordable housing needs of the community. VIII. Amendment Procedures Upon adoption, it is recognized that the Approved Development Plan may need to be amended from time to time. As such, amendment procedures are hereby adopted as an element of the Approved Development Plan. Amendments to the Approved Development Plan will be considered in accordance with the provisions of section 12-61- 11(E) of the Vail Town Code. IX.

Kli -�MI 4 ���=r MEMORANDUM TO: Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: George Ruther, Director of Community Development Will Hentschel, Principal, 359 Design Michael O'Connor, Principal & COO, Triumph Development Mike Cuthbertson, R.A. Nelson DATE: January 9, 2017 RE: Development Plan Overview - A request for final review and approval of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, of the Zoning Regulations of the Town of Vail, to facilitate the construction of Chamonix -Vail — Vail's Newest Residential Neighborhood for Families in West Vail, a proposed development of 32, deed restricted townhomes on the Chamonix site, located at 2310 Chamonix Road. The Development Chamonix -Vail— Vail's Newest Residential Neighborhood for Families in West Vail is an exciting new residential development aimed at creating, maintaining and sustaining community within the Town of Vail. The Town of Vail is initiating this new development and has partnered with a local development team to realize the goals of the new neighborhood. Located at 2310 Chamonix Road in West Vail, Chamonix -Vail is the result of nearly two years of planning and design. Chamonix -Vail is being built for year round residents of the Town of Vail that are intending to make their home in the Chamonix -Vail neighborhood their primary residence. To that end, and in keeping with purpose of the underlying zoning of Housing District of the development site, Chamonix -Vail is a mix of 32, two and three-bedroom, deed restricted townhomes appropriately located on the 3.2 acre site. The new townhomes are being developed as a for -sale residential product. New townhomes range in size from approximately 1,130 square feet for the smallest sized two-bedroom home to nearly 2,100 square feet for the largest three-bedroom home. All of the townhomes have an open concept living level floor plan and the buildings have been oriented on the site to take advantage of the southeasterly views and passive solar gain. Vehicular access to and from the new neighborhood is by a shared private drive entrance off of Chamonix Road. The new townhome development has been designed with the needs of residents of Vail and the existing surrounding residential and commercial uses in mind. Each of the new townhomes includes: Adequate off street parking with all homes having a minimum of one enclosed parking space, with most having two. Ample indoor storage/closet spaces provided throughout the homes. Durable and long lasting building materials such as cementious, stucco and metal siding, 30 -year asphalt shingle roofs, low -e window glazing, R-40+ insulation, high efficiency mechanical systems, energy -star rated appliances, and longer life cycle interior finishes. • Appropriately sized outdoor patio space. • Protected front and rear entries thereby minimizing the need for gutters and downspouts. • Low maintenance/low water use landscape. • Shared outdoor common area complete with play area and a neighborhood community garden. • Easy pedestrian access to the community commercial area of West Vail and the local in - town bus route. The first of the new townhomes in the Chamonix -Vail neighborhood are scheduled for completion in late 2017. Full build out of the development could be completed as soon as early 2018, depending upon the phasing schedule. At this time, construction on the site is scheduled to begin in late April/early May 2017. Development Team Chamonix -Vail is being developed under a form of public/private partnership. As such, the Town of Vail sought the partnership of a private development team. A development team has been assembled to include: o Triumph Development — Developer 0 359 Design — Architect/Interior Design o R.A. Nelson — General Contractor o Champion Homes — Home Builder o Martin/Martin — Civil Engineer o OSLA — Landscape Design o Town of Vail - Owner Compliance with the Development Plan Approval Criteria The Chamonix -Vail neighborhood development site is located within the Housing District. Because of the nature and characteristics of deed restricted housing, the Housing District was created to provide adequate sites for deed restricted residential development whereby development cannot be adequately regulated by prescribed development standards. However, to ensure harmonious development exists in keeping with the Town's development objectives, an applicant may propose development standards, as depicted on a Development Plan, for approval by the Town's Planning & Environmental Commission. In doing so, however, it shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with each of the six design criteria identified in the Zoning Regulations of the Town of Vail. The Chamonix -Vail Development Plan complies with each of the six design criteria (A thru F) identified. A summary of compliance is demonstrated below: A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Applicant Response: The Chamonix -Vail neighborhood is an assemblage of ten buildings containing a total of 32 townhomes. The 32 townhomes are a mix of two and three-bedroom homes. As proposed, there are five floor plan designs; ten (10) two-bedroom homes and twenty-two (22) three- bedroom homes. All of the townhomes have been designed around a shared outdoor common area, complete with a play area and neighborhood community garden. 2 The architectural design of Chamonix -Vail is best described as a form of modern mountain architecture. As a result, many of the architectural forms and features seen in a more traditional mountain -style of architecture are included within the Chamonix -Vail design, however, a more modern interpretation of the style is represented. This more modern style, with cleaner lines, use of metal siding, larger window openings, and its shallower roof forms, is best illustrated by the character of the exteriors. The exterior finishes include the use of cementious, stucco, and metal panel siding. Many of the newer homes and buildings constructed more recently in West Vail have a similar style of design and character. The scale and massing of the ten buildings is compatible with the existing and proposed residential character of the neighborhood. The buildings are a mix of two, two & one-half, and three story tall townhomes. Due to the southerly sloping aspect of the site, the first story of each of the buildings in buried into the hillside. This building layout not only allows for a walkout condition on the second level of all of the homes, but it also effectively hides much of the building mass on the site. That, combined with reduction in height and form at the ends of the each of the buildings, ensures the mass of the buildings relate well to one another as well as compliments other structures in the vicinity. The orientation of the ten buildings is responsive to the existing site conditions. As previously stated, the development site is southeasterly facing with a gradual downward northwest to southeast slope on the site. This affords wonderful southeasterly views and access to passive solar gain. The buildings have been laid out across the site in an east -west orientation to take full advantage of the views, passive solar gain and sloping topography. As a result of this parallel orientation to the existing grades, the building design requires the use of very few retaining walls with minimally sloping roads and driveways. All townhome front entrances and garage/driveways are south facing further minimizing the long term accumulation of winter snow and ice in these important locations. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. Applicant Response: The buildings, improvements, uses and activities have been designed and located on the site to be functional and responsive to the site, surrounding neighborhood and the community as a whole. According to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the Chamonix -Vail development site is designated Housing District. The proposed use of the site, whereby 100% of the development potential of the site is dedicated to deed restricted housing is consistent with the intended use of the site and the development objectives of the Town of Vail. This residential use is in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and uses, as further represented in the Vail Land Use Plan. The residential buildings are functionally designed and the site plan is effectively laid out to optimize the use of the site. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and, when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. 3 Applicant Response: The landscape plan is both functional and aesthetic in design and preserves the natural sloping feature of the existing site. This is best illustrated by the minimal use of retaining walls and the lack of significant site disturbance to the most steeply sloping portions of the site. From the onset, the goal of the site plan layout was to remain clear of the steeper portions of the site. The Development Team achieved this goal as represented by the civil grading plan. The intend of the landscape design and materials is to have the more manicured areas of design adjacent to the buildings and allow for a more native landscape treatment away from the buildings and shared common areas. This design approach not only integrates well with the remaining more natural areas on the site, but it also reduces the cost of maintenance and use of natural resources, such as water. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. Applicant Response: A safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation system has been designed for the Chamonix -Vail neighborhood. The private drive has been designed for vehicular circulation on the site. This system was designed to fully comply with the design standards (ie width, drainage, sight distance, turning movements, etc.), including emergency vehicles, adopted by the Town of Vail for adequate access and safe and convenient circulation. To further ensure a functional vehicular circulation system, a total of 113 places have been provided for homeowners and their guests to park on the site. In many instances, four places to park have been provided per townhome. The overall parking ratio on the site is approximately 3.5 spaces per town home. Pedestrian circulation has been addressed throughout the interior of the site. A pedestrian walkway has been designed to move residents from their homes to connect to places such as the shared common area and community garden, adjacent bus stops, on site mail boxes, and connections to off site pedestrian improvements. The applicant, however, is not proposing any off site pedestrian improvements. Instead, the applicant suggests the Town of Vail, through its capital projects planning, address any further or additional needs for off site pedestrian improvements. The Chamonix -Vail development alone does not trigger the need for off site pedestrian improvements beyond what may otherwise already be necessary in the vicinity. More importantly, the Chamonix -Vail development accommodates and addresses on site access needs. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. Applicant Response: No significant environmental impacts were identified as a result of the applicant's proposal. Therefore, an environmental impact report was waived for this application. That said, the applicant did, however, at a substantial expense, upgrade the existing storm sewer in the vicinity of the development site to ensure adequate drainage and storm water treatment exists. 0 F. Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. Applicant Response: The Chamonix -Vail Development Plan is in compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and advances the development objectives of the Town. For instance, the proposed development plan is consistent with the many goals and objectives of the Chamonix Master Plan through the creation of for -sale, deed restricted housing on the site. Further, the development plan fully complies with the Vail's Transportation Master Plan, further the goals of the recently adopted Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan, is consistent with Vail's Land Use Plan, advances the Town of Vail Economic Development Plan, achieves the recommendations of the Town of Vail Environmental Strategic Plan, and furthers the actions/strategies outlined with the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan. Of equal importance, the proposed development plan complies with the purpose of the Housing District and meets or otherwise achieves compliance with each of the development standards, as prescribed for the Housing District. Applicant Request of the Planning & Environmental Commission Chamonix -Vail is proving to be an exciting new residential neighborhood development in Vail. It is long overdue. A significant amount of planning and design has gone into the development of the Development Plan. In addition to time spent by the development team, a substantial amount of citizen participation and community engagement was involved in the planning for the Chamonix -Vail neighborhood. In closing, the applicant believes that we have met our burden of proof and successfully demonstrated, through our response to the six design criteria above, and as illustrated on the proposed development plan, that we comply with each of the six design criteria. Therefore, the applicant requests that the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission approves the request for the approval of a development plan for the Chamonix -Vail neighborhood. 5 TOWN OF VA10 VAI LTOWN PLANNINGAND ENVI RONMENTAL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: ITEM/TOPIC: A review of the results of the PIan4Health project.

BACKGROUND In the summer of 2015, the Healthy Communities Coalition via Eagle County applied for the PIan4Health Grant, a program to encourage healthy communities from a planning perspective. The PIan4Health project was developed by the American Planning Association (APA) in partnership with the American Public Health Association through an award from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. In the fall of 2015, Eagle County and the Healthy Communities Coalition were selected in round two of grant distributions and is the only group in Colorado to receive funding through this program. Through this program the Town of Vail received a comprehensive review of planning documents as they pertained to healthy eating and active living. Live Well Colorado and the Colorado Municipal League have partnered to form the healthy eating and active living (HEAL) cities and town campaign. This campaign would serve as a logical progression based on the results of the plan review. The HEAL campaign also provides free training and technical assistance to municipal offices to further policies that improve access to healthy eating and active living n communities. EAGLE COUNTY PRESENTATION Eagle County, acting as agent for the Healthy Communities Coalition, comprising local food producers, citizens, government officials and other professionals, will present the results of the plan review and grant process as well as information on the Live Well Colorado HEAL campaign to the Planning and Environmental Commission.

Frontage Road -Vail, Colorado, 81657 1. Call to Order Members Present: Chairman John Rediker, Brian Gillette, Kirk Hansen, Ludwig Kurz, John Ryan Lockman, Henry Pratt, and Brian Stockmar 2. A request for the review of three (3) variances in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code. These variances include: (1) a variance from Section 12-6D-6 Setbacks, Vail Town Code, to allowfor construction of an addition with a two -foot seven-inch (2'-7") front setback where twenty (20) feet is required; (2) a request for the review of a variance from Section 14-3-2-D Snow Storage, Vail Town Code, to allowsnow storage within town right-of-way where no snowstorage is allowed; (3) a requestfor the reviewof a variance from Section 14-3-2-F Location, Vail Town Code, to allow parking spaces within the Arosa Drive right-of-way where no parking is allowed, located at 2668 Arosa Drive / Lot 5, Block D, Vail Ridge Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC16-0039) Applicant: Robertand Mary Lou Armour, represented by Peel/LangenwalterArchitects Planner: Brian Garner Action: Motion: Conditions: Approve, with Conditions Kurz Second: Hansen Vote: 7-0-0 1. Approval of these variances is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. 2. Approval of these variances is contingent upon the applicant obtaining a revocable license agreement from the Department of Public Works for use of town right-of-way for two parking spaces and snow storage. 3. This approval does in no way authorize the use of the adjacent town -owned right-of-way for any purpose beyond paving for the driveway and parking as identified on the renovation and addition plans dated 12-05-2016 by Peel/Langenwalter Architects, LLC. No additional improvements of any kind shall be permitted in the town -owned right-of-way. Referencing a PowerPoint presentation, Town Planner Brian Garner summarized the requested variances. The project includes an addition to the front of the house, including a new garage with GRFA above the ground floor. Preexisting conditions preclude other development options. The neighbors support the request. The existing decks and staircases encroach into the front setback. The addition will be as close as 2'-7" to the front property line, but there is still approximately 30' to the pavement of Arosa Drive. Snow storage will be located in the Town right-of-way. Hansen — Has Public Works reviewed the project? Garner confirmed it has been reviewed by Public Works. Gillette asked for clarification as to where the road was within the right-of-way. Pratt - Has the Town ever revoked a revocable right-of-way permit? Rediker— Has Arosa Drive ever been shifted? Or has it always been in the same place? Stockmar — It appears most of the lot is undevelopable. There is a limited buildable footprint. Rediker— Is the Town Attorney aware of what will occur in the right-of-way? Garner responded "Yes" The applicant, Kathy Langenwalter, stated she did not have a presentation to add, but can confirm Arosa Drive has been in the same location since at least 1975. She also confirmed that the Town Attorney is aware of the proceedings and she has met with Public Works. Public Comment: There was no public comment. Lockman — Finds the requested variations meet the criteria. There should not be a negative impact on the neighborhood. Hansen — Concurs with Lockman. Sees no special privilege in granting the variations. Kurz — Concurs with Lockman and Hansen. Asked if this will set a precedent. Garner stated that the criteria is unique when applied to each property and this is a unique case. Pratt — There are site constraints that prevent other locations for the garage. Worried about relying on revocable right-of-way permit for their parking, but finds that the variances meet the criteria. Gillette — Asked if this will appear before the DRB. Garner responded "Yes". Stockmar — Concurred with other Commissioners. The variances are appropriate and necessary based on the site constraints. Rediker — The site is very unique. There are unique topographical challenges that warrant the granting of the variances. Agrees with the findings in the staff memo and oncurs with Commissioner Pratt's comments regarding reliance on the revocable right-of-way permit for parking. 3. A request for final review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Vail Town Code, to allow for the future development of Employee Housing Units on the Chamonix parcel located at 2310 Chamonix Road, Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC150019) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Action: Motion: Jonathan Spence Continue to the January 23, 2017 PEC Meeting Kurz Second: Lockman Vote: 7-0-0 Jonathan Spence introduced the project. Today's meeting is a work session, no specific action will be taken today. Spence summarized what special development districts are and their approval process. The project is located within the Housing zone district, which requires a development plan. The Housing zone district also requires that the PEC prescribe certain development standards: lot area and site dimensions, building height, and density controls (GRFA or DUs/Acre). Other standards are already prescribed within the Vail Town Code. Hansen and Rediker — Asked for clarification as to the standards the PEC will prescribe. George Ruther, Director of Community Development, Will Hentschel of 359 Design and Michael O'Connor of Triumph Development were present as representatives of the development team. Ruther referenced a memo that outlines how the project complies with the applicable criteria. The team expects to ask for a final recommendation from the PEC in two weeks. The goal is for the homes to be complete by the end of the year. Will Hentschel of 359 Design described the project in more detail through the use of a visual presentation. Topics included: project guidelines and goals, existing site conditions, unit count, size and design, site access, roadway design, driveways and parking, landscaping and open space, grading and building orientation, roof design, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, and floor plans and elevations. Gillette — Asked about context sensitive design. Hansen — Asked if street, curb, and sidewalk will belong to the Town. Will Hentschel responded that they will be owned by an HOA. Gillette — Asked for the total amount of bedrooms. Gillette — Commented that the location of the open space may not be ideal. Hansen — Asked about the possibility of solar on the roofs. Gillette — Asked if parking met zone district requirements. Spence responded "Yes". Hansen — Asked about how the units will be heated or cooled. Will Hentschel responded that it will be forced air. Gillette — Sustainable housing at an 8,000 foot elevation should not require central air. Kurz —Asked about ceiling heights. Will Hentschel responded that the ceiling height is nine feet (9'). Gillette — Asked if the units will be able to pass the blower(?) test. Pratt — Asked about accessibility requirements and for the location and amount of snow storage. Rediker — Suggested elimination of snow storage near the entrance to the project for safety reasons. Hansen —Asked if the program is finalized. Ruther responded that it is finalized. Gillette — Concerned that the site is being underdeveloped, especially considering the Town's goal of 1,000 deed restrictions within ten years. Ruther stated that this project is for a specific market. Gillette stated that the west portion of the site should be denser. Rediker — Asked about interior storage in the units. Will Hentschel described the storage in each unit type. Rediker — Asked about the building heights along the rear of the site, adjacent to Chamonix Lane. Gillette — Suggested moving the buildings to provide more buffer from the gas station. Rediker — Asked for clarification as to how GRFA will be approved, by unit or as one total number. Ruther responded that both will be used. Pratt — It seems onerous to require owners to come back to the PEC for future changes or additions and there should be some built in flexibility, as long as it is not a garage conversion. Lockman —Though it is not the PEC's role, feels that there should be increased density. Given their direction, feels the plan is good. Asked if there are estimated HOA fees. Encouraged the team to research all energy efficiency incentives up front. Suggested an integrated radon mitigation system. Public Comment: There was no public comment. Stockmar — No comments at this time. Gillette — No new comments. Pratt — Agrees with Commissioner Gillette's comments about density, but it is not the PEC's responsibility to decide the policy for the site. Likes the plan and product. Is concerned about the practicality of the proposed snow storage. Kurz — It was decided by Town Council that fewer units were more appropriate in consideration of the surrounding area. Hansen — It's a good project for the market the Town is looking to house. Lockman — No additional comments. Rediker — Concurs with Commissioner Gillette's concerns about density, but it is not in the PEC's purview. Concurs Commissioner Pratt's concerns about snow storage. Is concerned that the amount of guest parking spaces may be insufficient. Asked if this might be an opportunity for the Town to provide public sidewalks along the north side of the road. Gillette — Recommended that the HOA documents prevent people from storing cars in the guest parking for more than 24 hours. 4. A request for a variance from Section 14-6-7, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 14-1-5, Variances, Vail Town Code, and in accordance with Section 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls with an exposed face height greater than three feet (3') in the front setback, located at 1255 Westhaven Circle/Lot 45, Glen Lyon Subdivision and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC16-0036) Application has been Withdrawn Applicant: Westhaven LLC and Jamie Lipnick, represented by KH Webb Architects Planner: Matt PanfiI 5. Approval of Minutes December 12, 2016 PEC Meeting Results Action: Approve Motion: Gillette Second: Stockmar Vote: 7-0-0 6. Informational Update Environmental Sustainability- Storm Water Education - 15 min. Pete Wadden, Watershed Education Coordinator, made a presentation regarding stormwater education. Topics included: a review of aquatic insect scores, stormwater pollution from drainage from impervious surfaces, the difference between sanitary and storm sewers, filtering stormwater runoff vs. moving stormwater runoff into ditches or pipes as quickly as possible, the Town's future marketing plans for stormwater education, and enforcement. Rediker — Asked how many storm drains are in the Town. Wadden estimated approximately 10,000. Rediker asked if they are located mostly on private or public property. Wadden responded they are located on both. Rediker asked for specifics of what is illegal to dump down storm drains and how practical it is to install sand and oil filters on Town property. Wadden stated that the sand and oil filter vaults can be expensive. It is probably not practical to install one for all storm drains, but there are some locations that are worth examining. Lockman — Concerned about the number of locations where pollutants may be entering Gore Creek. Educate the public about the hazardous waste facility in Wolcott, or can the Town help people dispose of such materials? If the punishment was so severe, it can scare people from illegal dumping. Gillette — We should increase our contact with likely polluters such as rug cleaners, contractors, etc. 7.

II. BACKGROUND In 1995, the Town of Vail created a means for creating additional protection of town - owned parks and open space. This effort was a product of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan, approved by the Town Council in 1994, identifying a need to better protect Town of Vail open space. An issue raised during the development of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan was that parcels whose zoning designations were one of the three "Open Space" districts, Natural Area Preservation, Agriculture and Open Space, and Outdoor Recreation could be changed at any time by the Town Council. It was felt that property owners might be hesitant to donate land to the Town knowing that the zoning could be changed at any time. At the time, staff researched other communities, including Denver and Boulder, to determine the methods they used to protect open space and park lands beyond zoning. Staff presented several alternatives to the Town Council in May of 1995 to further the protection of Town -owned open space. These options included conservation easements to permanently protect open space and a town charter amendment that would require a vote of the people before land designated as open space could be sold or rezoned. A key next step in the Open Lands Plan was to develop an ordinance or charter amendment that required voter approval before the use of a "designated" open space parcel could be changed. A question was placed on the Regular Municipal Election that was held on November 21, 1995. This question read as follows: Shall the Charter of the Town of Vail, Colorado be amended to include an article entitled Designated Open Space which will provide the Town of Vail owned property, which meets certain criteria and has been designated, cannot be disposed of until approved by the registered electors at a town election? The results of this election pertaining to the charter amendment were 868 votes in favor and 85 votes against. With the support of the electorate, the Town Charter was amended via Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1995. This ordinance created an article entitled Designated Open Space within the Town Charter and detailed the processes and characteristics necessary for both the designation and disposal of Designated Open Space. III. THE PROGRAM The Designated Open Space program included the following components: A. Creation of a Designated Open Space definition. The ordinance established the following definition of Designated Open Space: "...shall mean any interest in real property owned by the Town of Vail which, whether acquired by purchase, donation, condemnation, or any other means, has been dedicated by ordinance as Designated Open Space. Such Designated Open Space shall not be alienated, sold, leased or subjected to a zoning designation change other than one of the open space zone districts identified in this article, unless all terms and provisions of this article have been met." B. Creation of the Open Space Board of Trustees The ordinance allowed for the creation of an Open Space Board of Trustees consisting of three members: • The Town Manager • One Town Council Member • One Planning and Environmental Commission member. The board's duties were established as follows: Make recommendations to the Town Council of appropriate parcels to be designated as open space; and Make recommendations to the Town Council concerning removing parcels from Designated Open Space status. 2 C. Establishment of the Characteristics of Designated Open Space The ordinance established the following required characteristics for a parcel to qualify as Designated Open Space: The parcel must be owned by the Town of Vail and zoned Natural Area Preservation, Outdoor Recreation or Agriculture Open Space and be either: Environmentally Sensitive Lands (wetlands, riparian areas, critical habitat identified by the Division of Wildlife or the Natural Heritage Program; High Hazards area including the 100 year flood plain, red avalanche hazards area, high rock fall hazard area and high debris flow hazard area; or • Town of Vail parks that provide passive outdoor recreational opportunities. D. Process for the designation of an Open Space Parcel The ordinance created the following process for the designation of an Open Space Parcel: • The unanimous recommendation from the Open Space Board of Trustees concerning a parcel of land which meets the characteristics set forth; and • The affirmative vote of three-fourths of the entire council on an ordinance to include the subject parcel as Designated Open Space. E. Process for the disposal of a Designated Open Space parcel The ordinance established the following process for the disposal of Designated Open Space: The unanimous recommendation from the Open Space Board of Trustees; The affirmative vote of three-fourths of the entire council on an ordinance to refer the disposal of the Designated Open Space to the registered electors for their acceptance or rejection; and Approval by a majority of the registered voters in the Town of Vail in an election, either regular or special, to be held no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days from the date of Council action 3 IV.

Vail Town Council FROM: Administration & Community Development DATE: September 5, 1995 SUBJECT: Protection of Designated Open Space Staff: Tom Moorhead and Russ Forrest I. PURPOSE: Department of Community Development The purpose of this memorandum is to discuss a means of increasing protection of Town of Vail owned parks and open space parcels. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identified next steps to better protect Town of Vail open space. An issue raised during the development of the Plan was that parcels zoned as either Natural Area Preservation, Agriculture Open Space, or Outdoor Recreation can be changed by the Vail Town Council. It was also felt that property owners may be hesitant to donate land to the Town knowing the Town could rezone the property to any existing Town zone district. II. BACKGROUND: A key next step In the Open Lands Plan was to develop an ordinance or charter amendment that required voter approval before the use of a "designated" open space parcel could be changed. To designate a parcel as open space, the Town Council would pass a ordinance identifying'a parcel (most likely Town owned) as "designated open space." .This could have the effect of freezing zoning on that property in perpetuity unless a majority of Vail voters in a referendum decided to remove the designated open space classification. Staff has contacted the cities of Boulder and Denver to obtain copies of their ordinances on protecting open space and park lands. The Boulder City Charter requires approval by both the City Open Space Committee and Town Council before land can be sold.. It also provides a process whereby the general public through a referendum could overturn the Town Council's vote to dispose of open space. Denver, as part of the City Charter., prohibits the City from disposing of designated park lands. If the City would want to dispose of park land, the City would have to amend its charter to allow for the disposal of a specific parcel. This requires a vote of the people. Also the Denver Charter states that public property cannot be compromised for other purposes. As a result there is protection of park land from transmission lines and other utility corridors, which could affect park values. Both Denver and Boulder, allow for significant flexibility in providing for a wide variety of uses on park lands and open space. Denver can even change zoning on park lands to allow for more intensive recreational activities or conversely can place a more restrictive zoning on -open lands. IL4) RECYCLEDPMER Y IIS• RECOMMENDATION: On May 2, 1995, staff presented several alternatives to further protect Town owned Options included using conservation easements to open space. ordinance or charter amendment that would require a vote f th]�protect open space, creating an space could be sold or rezoned. After reviewing the Town Councils compeoplements from this fore t� open worksession, staff would like to recommend creating a Charter Amendment that would create open space commission and require a vote of the sate a sold, leased, or have the zoning changed to a non open) spacer zone drs pThpe� es could be commission would include the Town Manager, 1 Town Council Member, and i Planning s�� Environmental Commissioner. There would be two basic function of a Charter Amendment: ar�d 1) designating parcels as open space and 2) removingmeet: parcels from a designated status. Staff ,recommends that properties be placed in a designated status based on whether met specific criteria- Staff could assist in recommendinga parcel criteria. Then the Open Space Commission would reviestaff's recommendation sing these designating a. property as open space. Then the Town Counc#1 would have to ass and an vote on . upon an affirmative vote- from the Open Space Commission to lace a propertyp � ordinance status. Specific criteria for placing parcels in a designated status inclue. to a designated a) parcels must be zoned Natural Area Preservation {NAP), Outdoor Recreation O Agriculture Open Space (AOS). ( R), or b) environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands, riparian areas, critical habitat ideniif� the Division of Wildlife or the National Heritage Program,) � by C) High natural hazard areas including the 100 -year floodplain, red avalanche hazard area, high roc kfall hazard area, and high debris flow hazard areas. d) Town Parks that provide passive outdoor recreation opportunities, * A parcel must meet criteria (a) and one of the following criteria (b -d) The Charter Amendment would require the following before a parcel of land open space could be sold, leased, or rezoned to any zone district other andthat al at is designated Preservation, Outdoor Recreation, or Agriculture Open Space. Area 1) Unanimous vote of the Open Space Commission. 2) A three quarters (314) vote from the Town Council to create a ballot issue to sell orsign#ficantl change the use of a Parcel designated as open space. 3) A majority vote of registered voters in the Town of Vail. fV. Next Steps If the above recommendations are acceptable to the Town Council, staff recommends that language be prepared immediately for a Charter Amendment and a ballot Issue for the November election.
