12, Series of 2017 amending Commercial Linkage requirements in the Town of Vail;
WHEREAS, the existing example in Section 12-23-2, Paragraph C, Vail Town

and accurately reflect the calculation required to determine the employee housing

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, THAT:
Section 1. Section 12-23-2: Employee Generation and Mitigation Rates, Vail
Town Code, is hereby amended as follows (text to be deleted is in strikethrough, text
that is to be added is bold. Sections of text that are not amended have been omitted.)
A. The employee generation rates found in table 23-1, "Employee Generation Rates
By Type Of Commercial Use", of this section, shall be applied to each type of use
in a commercial development. For any use not listed, the Administrator shall
determine the applicable employee generation rate by consulting the Town's
current nexus study.
1
TABLE 23-1 EMPLOYEE GENERATION RATES BY TYPE OF COMMERCIAL USE
Employee
Type Of Use Generation Rate
Accommodation unit/limited service lodge unit 0.6 employee per net new units
Business office and professional office(inducting real estate and property management office) 3.2 employees per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
Conference fadity 0.8 employee per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
Eating and drinking establishment 11 10.2 employees per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
Health dub 1 10.96 employee per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
Retail store/personal service/repair shop 1 12.4 employees per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
Spa 1 [2.1 employees per 1,000 feet of new net floor area
B. If an applicant submits competent evidence that the employee generation rates
contained in table 23-1 of this section or the nexus study do not accurately reflect the
number of employees generated by the proposed commercial development or
redevelopment and the Administrator finds that such evidence warrants a deviation from
those employee generation rates, the Administrator shall allow for such a deviation as
the Administrator deems appropriate.
C. Each commercial development or redevelopment shall mitigate its impact on
employee housing by providing EHUs for twenty percent (20%) of the employees
generated, pursuant to table 23-1 of this section, or the nexus study, in accordance with
the requirements of this chapter.
For example, for a development proposing two thousand five hundred (2,500) square
feet of new net floor area for an eating and drinking establishment, the equation would
be as follows:
([2,500 square feet-/1,000 square feet]x[6.75] 10.2) = 16.875 25.5 new employees
generated
16.875 25.5 new employees generated x 20% = 3.375 5.1 employees to be housed
Section 2. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it
would have passed this ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause
or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts, sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 3. The Town Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this
ordinance is necessary and proper for the health, safety and welfare of the Town of Vail
and the inhabitants thereof.

Section 4. The amendment of any provision of the Town Code as provided in this
ordinance shall not affect any right which has accrued, any duty imposed, any violation
that occurred prior to the effective date hereof, any prosecution commenced, nor any
other action or proceeding as commenced under or by virtue of the provision amended.
The amendment of any provision hereby shall not revive any provision or any ordinance
previously repealed or superseded unless expressly stated herein.
