F. Building Height
Basically, the Village Core is perceived as a mix of two and three story
facades, although there are also four and five story buildings. The mix
of building heights gives variety to the street--which is desirable. The
height criteria are intended to encourage height and massing variety and
to discourage uniform building heights along the street,
The definition of height shall be as it is in the Vail Municipal Code. Building
height restrictions in Commercial Core I shall be as follows:
1. Up to 60% of the building (building coverage area) may be built to a
height of 33 feet or less.
2. No more than 40% of the building (building coverage area) may be higher
than 33 feet, but not higher than 43 feet.
3. Towers, spires, cupolas, chimneys, flagpoles, and similar architectural
features not useable as Gross Residential Floor Area may extend above
the height limit a distance of not more than twenty-five percent of
the height limit nor more than fifteen feet.
4. The above heights are based on an assumed 3 feet in 12 feet or 4 feet
in 12 feet roof pitches. To accommodate and encourage steeper roof
pitches (up to 6 feet in 12 feet), slight, proportionate height increases
could be granted so long as the height of building side walls is not
increased (see diagram following).
