4. Main Agenda
4.1. Commercial Linkage/ Inclusionary Zoning Update
Presenter:Andrew Knudtsen & Rachel Shindman, Economic Planning Systems
Ruther provided overview of a draft memo noting the Housing department is looking for
input regarding the memo's section 3. Recommendation. Town Council has expressed
interest in reviewing and potentially updating the Town's Inclusionary Zoning and
Commercial Linkage policies. The Housing department has discussed with PEC providing
background and is scheduled to worksession with PEC for additional input on policy related
issues on December 141h. Discussion is still around policy making and we may need
additional feedback from the policy makers.
Fee-in-Lieu Payment Calculation. Currently fee-in-lieu addresses the gap in affordability
between current sales in Vail and 80% of AMI in EC. Fees haven't been updated as often
as they could be, and data needed is not easily obtained. How can the Town look differently
how fee-in-lieu is calculated? There are two potential data sources. First, MLS sales data
where projection is more closely related to Vail sales. Compare this to actual cost to
constructing deed-restricted homes in Vail.A matrix is provided in EPS' presentation.
Today's goal is to get direction from VLHA which method to calculate fees-in-lieu to
recommend to Town Council. EPS recommends using this method last
Mitigation Rate. Town of Vail's current rate is 20% mitigation of net new floor area for
commercial development and 10% of net new floor area for residential development.
Residential development is inclusionary zoning. Peer resorts rates are higher than TOV
rates today.The Town lets the applicant decide what type of unit is best to solve their housing
needs. Developers and applicants are not looking for future property owner interest.
Staff recommends increasing rates for both commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning.
EPS reviewed their fee methodology comparison. Four methods of data gathering are
compared. Major components of data are the timeliness of data being used and how easy
is it to update.
EPS recommended MLS as best data source where the data can be segmented by property
age and geography.
The Authority agreed to pursue using MLS for data. A future meeting will be held to review
what the rate will be. The Town's nexus study was last updated in 2016. Rates were based
on 100% of each specific land use.
EPS discussed the three (3) mitigation rate levers.
1. Generation Rates — how many employees coming from commercial rate, won't
change or residential which will be established. Currently set at 100% of employees
generated and based on rational nexus study done in 2016
2. Percentage or Rate —developers will be responsible
3. Cost of Percentage or Rate - address this last. EPS and VLHA will return at later
date to discuss specifics of increase
EPS is looking to generate a parallel review on residential as was done for commercial
development. EPS has description of methodology which will be shared with Authority.
Prioritization of Mitigation Methods. Method utilized by developers is generally building
onsite units, offsite units are typically utilized by larger developments and fee-in-lieu when
less than a whole employee is required or smaller developments. Since 2015 the Town has
collected over $3 million onsite vs. offsite options.
The Town does not use prioritization of mitigation methods today. Staff recommends VLHA
recommends to Council the order of prioritization methods listed in the memo on pages four
(4) and five (5).
Recommendation Order:
1. On-site units
2. Off-site units — either an incentive or disincentive to use this method, could be new
units constructed off-site or purchase a unit
3. Off-site units outside the Town of Vail (4X multiplier) —to be discussed further
4. Conveyance of property on-site or off-site— land bank, conveyance of raw land
5. Payment of fee in lieu — potentially the last resort available to developer
EPS stated other communities require a specific order and developers are only allowed to
go to a different method if they prove they cannot provide the previous method.
Application of Regulations. Commercial linkage applies to all Town of Vail commercial
areas. Inclusionary Zoning applies to residential zoning. Staff recommends the Town amend
the Town's zoning code to add residential linkage as a mitigation tool for residential
development and redevelopment.
The Authority is interested in assessing the addition of residential linkage. EPS will provide
details and comparables at a future meeting.
Next steps EPS and Housing will present to PEC at December 14, 2020 meeting and
Council on January 5, 2021.
4.2. Eagle County Housing Guidelines Update— Discussion
Presenter: Tori Franks, Eagle County Real Estate and Development Manager
Tori Franks provided an update regarding Eagle County's housing guidelines. She noted
unlike Vail the County guidelines have been kept outside of the County code. Their housing
administrative procedures are updated annually. The housing guidelines are being updated
in a three-phase process with phase to align with the County's updates to the Land Use
Regulations rewrite, comprehensive plan update and new visioning process.
Phase II goal is to update mitigation methods, public benefit, to respond to the housing
market, add flexibility and modify language to match guidelines versus regulatory. They
were able to include many comment ideas into the draft.
A summary for major changes is listed in Frank's presentation.
Frank's invited VLHA to provide comments during the County's update. She will advise the
Town's housing staff regarding timing of those comments.
4.3. VLHA 2020 Annual Budget update and 2021 Proposed Budget, Resolution 27, Series of
2020
Presenter: Carlie Smith, Town of Vail Financial Services Manager
Smith and Campbell provided a current 2020 budget forecast and a 2021 budget
overview. The Authority is agreement with the proposed budget.
Moffet moved to approve Resolution No. 27, Series of 2020.
MOTION: MOFFET SECOND: WILKINS VOTE: 4-0 APPROVED
4.4. West Middle Creek Rezoning Application
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Ruther provided a proposal for rezoning the West Middle Creek Parcel. Council did express
interest in rezoning to Housing Zone District. Council is looking for opportunity to develop
in the future.A portion of land is owned by CDOT who has expressed interest in selling or
trading to the Town. A vehicular easement was granted from Middle Creek Village during
the Middle Creek Village amendments which will allow ease of access to the site.
Council would initiate the application and seeking VLHA's partnership with Vail Home
Partners to act on Council's behalf.Acting as agent you would direct/lead Town staff during
the review process.
The property is currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District (NAPD)with some steep
slopes however the site is deemed developable. After more studies staff will come back
with a plan. Only a portion of the site would be rezoned, very west portion of the lot.
A majority of the Authority agreed to support moving rezoning discussion forward. Moffet
is unsure of rezoning the parcel from NAPD.
VLHA's recommendation will go before Council on December 151h for their
recommendation. Ruther will forward a copy of the memo to VLHA prior to the meeting.
4.5. 2020 Semi Annual Update on Housing
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Twice annual the Housing Authority provides an update to Council on progress of goals
and status. Ruther suggested including future opportunities for housing. One opportunity
is the CDOT East Vail parcel at the corner of Columbine and Spruce which CDOT wants
to sell.
The update will be provided at the December 15, 2020 Council meeting.

2. Main Agenda
2.1. West Middle Creek Rezoning Application
Presenter: Matt Gennett, Community Development Director
Matt Gennett presented a draft memo for re-designation of the West Middle Creek parcel.
Currently the parcel is zoned Natural Area Preservation with a request to rezone to the
Housing District. Per Gennett there are several steps required to accomplish the rezoning:
amend the Comprehensive Plan, amend the Land Use Plan to reflect medium density
multifamily (MDMF) or high density multifamily (HDMF) or establish a new district named
Housing. The goal will be to rezone a portion of the existing NAP area.
The next PEC submittal is due January 11, 2021 for the February 9, 2021 meeting. Due to
timing it is most likely the application will be heard on the February 22, 2021 meeting. Gennett
stated PEC won't likely make a recommendation at the first meeting due to public input. The
application and recommendation could go to the March 1, 2021 Council meeting.
Discussion ensued regarding Council direction, process and timelines.
