VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The following are review criteria for a minor subdivision, as outlined in Section 13-3-4,
Commission Review of Application; Criteria and Necessary Findings, Vail Town Code:
1. The extent to which the proposed subdivision is consistent with all the
applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in
the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the town; and
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable elements of
the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan
and is compatible with the development objectives of the town. Of note, several
goals of the Vail Land Use Plan are applicable to this subdivision.
Goal 1.3 of the Vail Land Use Plan states, "The quality of development should be
maintained and upgraded whenever possible." The subdivision will help facilitate the
development of additional limited service lodging units in comparison to what is
currently found on site and to the previous Roost Lodge development.
Goal 3.1 states that the "hotel bed base should be preserved and used more
efficiently". This subdivision is being done to facilitate the proposed hotel
development and will preserve the bed base lost from the demolition of the Roost
Lodge and add more.
Goal 5.3 states that "[a]ffordable employee housing should be made available
through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail,
with appropriate restrictions". The development facilitated by this subdivision will
meet all of its employee housing requirements on-site.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
2. The extent to which the proposed subdivision complies with all of the
standards of this title, as well as, but not limited to, title 12, "Zoning
Regulations," of this code, and other pertinent regulations that the planning
and environmental commission deems applicable; and
The proposed subdivision itself meets all of the applicable standards within the PA -2
zone district and Title 12 as a whole. The proposed development for this site that
utilizes the easements established by this subdivision also meets all standards of
this title.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.

3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives; and
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development
objectives. The proposed subdivision simply combines 4 existing lots that have
historically been developed as one single lot. The proposed development for this
combined lot has previously been reviewed by the Town and found to be
harmonious with the surrounding land uses while furthering town development goals.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area;
and
The proposed subdivision is not anticipated to have significant negatives impacts on
the future development of the surrounding area. The surrounding properties have all
been developed. Furthermore, the development of a hotel on a previous hotel site
should result in similar development impacts.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
5. The extent to which the proposed subdivision is located and designed to
avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of
public services, or require duplication or premature extension of public
facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development; and
The proposed subdivision is just a merging of 4 existing lots within an already
developed area, and as such will not cause any inefficiency in the delivery of public
services, will not require duplication or premature extension of public services, and
will not result in a leapfrog development pattern.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
6. The extent to which the utility lines are sized to serve the planned ultimate
population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade
undersized lines; and
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision, which is an existing development lot, is
already served by appropriately sized utility lines, resulting in no future land
disruptions to upgrade undersized lines.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
Town of Vail Page 13
7. The extent to which the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an
orderly viable community and serves the best interests of the community as a
whole; and
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an orderly viable
community and serves the best interests of the community as a whole because staff
anticipates no negative impact to the community by combining existing lots. This
subdivision also helps serve a community benefit by facilitating the construction of a
new bus stop along North Frontage Road.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
8. The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial
impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water
quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other
desirable natural features; and
The proposed subdivision is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts to other
natural environments, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise,
vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. The
future development of the Marriott Residence Inn was reviewed for development
impacts previously by the PEC and approved.
Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion.
9. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed subdivision.

Erik Gates, Planner
Community Development Department
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 8165
Dear Erik,
Vail Hospitality Group LLC is submitting an application for a minor subdivision to
facilitate the development of the Residence Inn by Marriott. The proposed amended
final plat will consolidate Lots 9 through 12, Resubdivision of Buffer Creek into a new
Lot 1, WB Vail Subdivision. Additionally, the amended final plat eliminates
unnecessary utility easements and creates the new easements needed based on the
Town's approval of the Residence Inn by Marriott. The proposed amended final plat is
considered a Minor Subdivision, as outlined in by Chapter 13-4 of the Vail Town
Code.
Though a Minor Subdivision, the criteria for review are the same as those for a Major
Subdivision, as provided in Section 13-3-4: Commission Review of Application;
Criterial and Necessary Findings. Many of these review criteria are not necessarily
applicable to a subdivision of this sort or were already addressed with the previously
approved development project. However, the criteria are addressed below:
1. The extent to which the proposed subdivision is consistent with all the
applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in
the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the town.
Applicant Response: The project complies with the relevant elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan including the following policies:
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.
2
1.3 - The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded
whenever possible.
1.12 - Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
3.1 - The hotel bed base should be preserved and use more efficiently.
3.3 - Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore
conversion to condominiums should be discouraged.
3.4 - Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas
to accommodate both local and visitor needs.
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.
5.3 - Affordable employee housing should be made available through private
efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with
appropriate restrictions.
5.4 - Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a
full range of housing types.
5.5. - The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded.
Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites
throughout the community.
The project is consistent with the Town's stated goal of increasing hotel beds and the
provision of adequate employee housing within the Town.
The 2007 Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan was adopted with the goal to create a clear
vision for Vail. It provides the following vision statement:
We are the "Premier Mountain Resort Community" by providing high quality of
life and experiences for both residents and visitors. This is achieved through
environmental stewardship, world-class recreational, cultural and educational
opportunities, a strong year-round economy, diversity of housing, and superior
infrastructure. The town actively seeks input and cooperation from the
community and its neighbors to ensure fulfillment of its vision.
The Town of Vail has approved the development of the Residence Inn, finding it
consistent with the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Because this subdivision is necessary to
PO Box 4777 Eagle, Colorado 81631 970-376-3318 www.mpgvail.com
3
implement the project, the subdivision is also consistent with the Vail Comprehensive
Plan.
2. The extent to which the proposed subdivision complies with all of the
standards of this title, as well as, but not limited to, title 12, "Zoning
Regulations", of this code, and other pertinent regulations that the planning
and environmental commission deems applicable.
Applicant Response: The amended final plat has been drafted in accordance with
Title 13: Subdivision Regulations and Title 12: Zoning Regulations, meeting all of the
standards required by these provisions.
3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal
development objectives.
Applicant Response: Because the development of the Residence Inn was approved
by the Town of Vail, this subdivision which only consolidates existing lots into one
development site, along with eliminating and establishing appropriate easements, is
necessary to continue the development process for the project. As a result, the
proposed subdivision is consistent with municipal development objectives.
4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area.
Applicant Response: The effects of of future development to the surrounding
property were evaluated by the Town in the review of the previously approved
development plan for the property and it was found that the development was
compatible. The proposed plat implements this previous approval. The site is
surrounded by residential uses to the east, west and north, and 1-70 right-of-way to
the south. Buffehr Creek Condominiums are located directly to the west. Hillside
Condominiums and Mustang Condominiums are located directly to the north. The
Grand Traverse neighborhood is located to the east, with Tract A (Open Space Parcel)
directly adjacent to the property. Across 1-70 is Donovan Park, along with a single-
family and duplex home.
Considering the various multi -family buildings in the immediate vicinity of the
theproperty, to the west and north, a structure which accommodates multiple -family
and limited service lodge units is in keeping with the existing surrounding uses. The
size of the proposed building is in direct proportion with the size of the development
PO Box 4777 Eagle, Colorado 81631 970-376-3318 www.mpgvail.com
H
site, which encompasses approximately two acres. Considering the physical state of
the previous Roost Lodge, the proposal will have a significant, positive effect on the
character of the neighborhood.
Given the approvals issued to the property for the development of the Residence Inn
and given that the project complies with all zoning standards as contained in the PA -2
zone district, the proposed subdivision does not have negative effect on the future
development of the surrounding area.
S. The extent to which the proposed subdivision is located and designed to
avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of
public services, or require duplication or premature extension of public
facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
Applicant Response: Because the site is located within an existing, platted
subdivision and within the already developed area of the Town of Vail, the proposed
subdivision does not create a leapfrog development pattern and is actually an in -fill
PO Box 4777 Eagle, Colorado 81631 970-376-3318 www.mpgvail.com
5
site not requiring any major extension of public facilities. The project is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
6. The extent to which the utility lines are sized to serve the planned ultimate
population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade
undersized lines.
Applicant Response: As an existing, platted development site, and former location of
the Roost Lodge, all utilities and services are sized and located appropriately to serve
the Residence Inn. As a result, the proposed subdivision is consistent with this
criterion.
7. The extent to which the proposed subdivision provides for the growth of an
orderly viable community and serves the best interests of the community as a
whole.
Applicant Response: Due to the nature of this subdivision, which is to consolidate
existing lots into one development site, along with establishing and vacating
easement as appropriate for the construction of the Residence Inn, the amended final
plat is furthering this criterion.
8. The extent to which the proposed subdivision results in adverse or beneficial
impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water
quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other
desirable natural features.
Applicant Response: Because the proposed subdivision is the consolidation of
existing lots into one development site, there are no impacts on the natural
environment. Any potential impacts were reviewed with the proposed Residence Inn
and none were identified. As a result, the proposed subdivision is consistent with this
criterion.
9. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed subdivision.
Applicant Response: Any additional information requested by the Planning and
Environmental Commission in the review of this subdivision can be provided upon
request.

Absent: None
Main Agenda
2.1. A request for review of an exemption plat, pursuant to Title 13 Chapter 12, 60 min.
Exemption Plat, Vail Town Code, to allow for increases to the allowable Site
Coverage and Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) allotment for individual
lots within the Spraddle Creek Estates subdivision, and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (PEC20-0015)
Applicant: Spraddle Creek Estates Homeowners, represented by Zehren
and Associates
Planner: Jonathan Spence
Spence gives a presentation on the item, the history for the site and
previous applications of a similar nature.
Kurz: What are the municipal services that are provided to this area? Is it
similar to other areas?
Spence: Same, except this is a private road.
Perez clarifies the Staff memo description of location of the site.
Gillette asks if we ever give more GRFA to zone districts.
Spence says that the GRFA was based on the Hillside Zoning when
originally platted. It doesn't take in any alterations to GRFA calcs afterwards.
Spraddle Creek is restricted by GRFA calculations memorialized on the plat.
Gillette: They get more GRFA than anyone else, right?
Spence says that they have much more than the average of other single
family or two-family districts. This is due to the size of the lots being much
larger. They have GRFA and site coverage based on lot area when most of
the lot is not buildable which does not necessarily make sense
Pratt asks if we know how much of the lots are buildable.
Spence, we have an estimate, but the applicant may have more in their
presentation.
Pratt, does the town acknowledge building envelopes as a zoning device?
Spence details how envelopes are used for lots where setbacks are not
enough to protect hazards or environmentally sensitive areas.
Gillette asks that since he lives in a PUD, if he wanted more GRFA would
his neighborhood go through a similar process, and does this occur often?
Spence: Yes, it would be much the same. This is a very unique
circumstance where zone district isn't in line with land use. The commission
will need to decide if lot size makes sense for this GRFA calculation when
most of it is not buildable.
Josh from Zehren goes over the preparation for the request and meeting.
Previous concerns with the development of the area was environmental
sensitivities. GRFA does not match the maximum allowed in the Hillside Zone
district. Back in 2007 there was a similar application except before we
requested a text amendment to increase site coverage from 15 to 20%,
which is not included in today's request. The original request was approved
by PEC, but not by Council. Josh gives an overview of the site, location,
and history of Spraddle Creek. The primary reason the residents want
additional GRFA and site coverage is because the homes are mature up
there. They have seen the bumps given to other areas and have
improvements that they want to do but can't because of the cap in the plat.
Josh goes over the table in the submission that shows the allotted amount of
coverage and GRFA in the plat and how that compares to the amount
allowed under the zoning and other districts in Vail. Gives examples of other
areas of town that have higher density. Josh lists out the numbers they are
requesting and how they came to those numbers to request. I n conclusion
he goes over the concerns from the original platting process that were
respected and how this application meets those concerns.
Perez asks if an environmental impact report or assessment has been done
with this application.
Spence says there has not been a report done, but points to a section in the
memo that is worth noting.
Perez wants to know if we've looked at the GRFA increase and how it will
affect environmental aspects.
Spence details how they were previously reviewed.
Perez says the commission must look at the criteria and what they have
before them.
Gillette asks if we've looked at the actual GRFA in the homes that are built.
Are they completely built out?
Spence doesn't know which homes have maxed out GRFA. They do get the
basement deductions since that was changed about how GRFA is measured
which is consistent over Vail. He asks the applicant which ones are maxed
out.
Josh states he doesn't know them all, but the case studies shown are typical
of what is in the neighborhood and that most are within a couple hundred
square feet of maximum. They have not done a lot by lot analysis though.
Gillette asks where the largest homes are in town.
Spence says they are probably on Forest Road since they have the largest
lots. Around 10,000SF for duplexes. The average is closer to 7,000SF.
Kurz says it would help to know what each lot has in GRFA. This would be a
blanket upzoning without all the information on the table.
Spence agrees that it would help with some of the lots knowing how large the
increase would actually transfer to increase in size of the home.
Lockman says the blanket 10,000 seems arbitrary and if each lot
should/could ask for a variance to increase GRFA.
Spence answers that the variance criteria is not appropriate for this type of
request. GRFA caps are difficult to show hardship. Maybe another way
would be to allow an increase in percentage of existing instead of an
arbitrary cap.
Lockman says previous minutes were not very clear or detailed at the
Council level. Can you provide any more detail?
Spence says they do not have as much detail due to record keeping at the
time.
Josh says there was a lot of conversation at that time about the text
amendment that was proposed. This time they tried to simplify the
application by keeping it within the bounds of the underlying zoning.
Pratt asks if there is a general number that was given in 2005 with the
amendments as to how much each house received additional GRFA or a
percentage increase.
Spence says it isn't that clear as they were hard numbers and not a
percentage. The percentage amount varies greatly depending on the lot
size.
Pratt says he got about a 12-14% bump without the basement deduction.
Spence pulls up a graph with more information.
Gillette says it is important to know what the area will look like from the valley
floor if they get bigger.
Spences directs attention to the chart on page 14 which shows what is
asked for compared to existing.
Kurz says he's less concerned from what it looks like from the village since
they've done a good job hiding houses. More concerned with blanket
upzoning without the existing numbers. We need to clearly assess the
impacts.
Josh said they can do that. If PEC is comfortable with some lesser degree
of what is allowed, we can look into that.
Spence adds basing increases on a percentage could be easier
Gillette says fairness and precedence of the decision. How many more
people will ask for additional GRFA if we grant this?
Spence says this is very unique. Similar to where Gillette lives and would be
a similar application, but it is not typical to see this around town.
Gillette asks if the hillside zoning was set up for this site.
Spence clarifies that they land use plan made a Hillside Land Use without a
zone district. This zone district was then created but done poorly as it didn't
include any design guidelines or special regulations pertaining to steep
slopes.
Gillette asked what has changed. They looked at this in the first round of
review of the plat and must've had a reason for the GRFA given.
Pratt says what's changed is that people want to make an addition, but they
don't have GRFA.
Josh says that other areas have gotten bumps in GRFA when Spraddle
Creek didn't because their GRFA was locked in
Spence says the allowable number today take some of that bumps into
account as part of the 2005 amendments was also based on the basement
calculations and deductions.
Gillette says another thing we need to be concerned with is other underlying
design guidelines. If we add GRFA they may do away with those guidelines
that keep them hidden so they can add that additional GRFA, and then we
lose the concealment the current guidelines provide today.
Kurz goes over the history of the site as he was on the PEC at the time.
They were worried about large homes covering the hillside in the Town and
that may have been part of Council's thinking.
Gillette says to that note we are looking at making it 30% bigger with no large
public input as was done at the initiation of the subdivision.
Kurz reiterates that we need more information
Spence asks PEC to list what they would like to see next time. Chart shown,
and existing GRFA he has written down.
Gillette says another helpful piece of information would be comparisons
between these lots and some other large lots in town. He wants to get a
better idea of the size of lots compared to areas in town. An average of a
subdivision with large homes and see what that looks like for the size of the
house.
Seibert says you also have to consider location. Some large home
subdivisions are hidden. This area is prominent on the hillside in Vail.
Spence asks for winter photos to have a better idea of year-round view.
Seibert asks for history on inclusionary zoning in the previous application.
Can we ask for something like that?
Spence says we can ask for mitigation measures for example EH Us or
environmental impact considerations.
Gillette wants to know what they would offer to mitigate the addition. There is
some wildlife mitigation that is needed in the area.
Spence says absent a proposal from HOA the environmental/wildlife impact
would be difficult to quantify, where housing has a set mitigation rate that
could be applied.
Gillette asks for a proposal from HOA on mitigation measures.
Pratt asks for a review or map of the buildable area for each lot. Wants to
have something that shows the slopes so they can back up numbers as to
where the math comes from. W hat we are talking about seems so arbitrary.
The 10k cap by the applicant and the percentage increase both are arbitrary
and need something to be defendable in court.
Gillette asks if we should be looking at another zone district as a
comparison.
Pratt says if anything we should base it on the existing zone district there.
Kjesbo says 40 percent increase is huge but agrees everything is arbitrary.
He likes the idea of a percentage better. We're stuck with the zoning we
have now, which makes it difficult. We need to look at comparison large lots
and what it was before and after the 2005 increase. Agrees that there should
be inclusionary zoning with this.
Several members discuss the amount of benefit that the 2005 change was
granted. The goal is to make sure the changes and addition is equitable.
Perez says the issue and premise of the whole conversation is that these
lots are entitled to the increase that others received. Not sure it is a foregone
conclusion.
Kjesbo says the original goal was not to have "trophy homes" in the valley,
which has since become a fact and are found in the valley.
Discussion on the impact of additional GRFA on design is had between
members, staff and applicant.
Brian Gillette moved to table to September 14, 2020. Rollie Kjesbo seconded
the motion and it passed (7-0).
2.2. A report to the PEC regarding an administrative approval of a Conditional 10 min.
Use Permit amendment, pursuant to Title 12, Chapter 16, Amendment
Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for a 610 square foot expansion to
Donovan Pavilion for additional storage, a kitchen prep space, and an
office/bride room located at 1600 S. Frontage Road W. / Unplatted —
Donovan Park, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20-0014)
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by TAB Associates
Planner: Erik Gates
Gates gives a presentation on the addition that was proposed and approved
administratively. The scale is why the application was administratively
approved and PEC must be notified of the changes to the CUP.
2.3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed 5 min.
regulation amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town
Code to amend Section 12-10 Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town
Code, to refine the appropriate sections to allow for a comprehensive
approach to meeting the minimum parking requirements, including clarifying
the review process and other considerations, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC20-0007)
The applicant has requested this item be tabled to a date uncertain.
Applicant: Braun Associates, Inc.
Planner: Greg Roy
Karen Perez moved to table indefinitely. Brian Gillette seconded the motion
and it passed (7-0).
3. Approval of Minutes
3.1. July 27, 2020 PEC Results
Karen Perez moved to approve. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it
passed (7-0).
4. Informational Update
4.1. A worksession to discuss proposed process and a zoning code amendment, 45 min.
pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for various
amendments to Title 11 - Sign Regulations to updatedefinitions and reduce
content -based regulations in order to conform with the Supreme Court ruling
in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant:
Planner: Erik Gates
Gates goes over the proposed amendments to the sign code in response to
Reed vs Town of Gilbert.
Perez asks for more information on the Reed vs Gilbert case for ne)d time.
Gates notes that and will have it for ne)d time as well as the online Engage
Vail page when it launches.
John Ryan has questions about how much rewriting we are doing and the
effect on sign content. Gates points out that it will affect content and we're
trying to change only parts that are required through the case.
Gillette asks how we are changing sizes and Gates responds we are trying
to avoid changing sizes and many are the same.
Gillette states that the 45 days is too long for temporary signs. No more than
two weeks would be appropriate.
Spence says that timing is typical and 45 is what is reasonable based on the
case. We will check with the Town attorney on the minimum we can provide.
Gillette says that we should weigh risk on this one.
Kurz has a question on 170 ROW, and if that includes on and off ramps.
Gates says it includes that and most likely frontage roads. Kurz makes sure
staff will have town attorney sign off by the time it comes back to them.
Gates assures he will.
4.2. PEC Appointment to the Open Lands Board of Trustees
Applicant:
Planner: Matt Gennett
Brian Gillette moved to appoint Ludwig Kurz to the Open Lands Board of
