Ruther discussed Truckee, California's Landing Locals (hops://landinglocals.com/) a
program connecting property owners with interested rental parties.
Ideas discussed by the Authority are:
• VLHA assists landlords who want to long term lease to VLHA, the Authority
locates a tenant, similar to master lease
• Vail Health's internal rental program has potential: master lease, VH handles
maintenance vs. calling landlord, employees already have background check,
etc. Landlord benefit is knowing lease payment on time
Morales and Ruther will research options similar to Vail Health's program and
communicate findings at the next VLHA meeting.
4.2. Inclusionary Zoning/Commercial Linkage Fee in Lieu Informational Update for Joint
meeting scheduled with the Town Council on October 6, 2020.
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Ruther asked for members to be present for a joint Council afternoon meeting on
October 6, 2020 to discuss policy around Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) and Commercial
Linkage (CL) to Residential Linkage opportunity and updated fees-in-lieu.
Current fee schedule hasn't been updated since 2016 and Council noted there is a need
to update or re-set the Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning fees. Currently fees
are based on actual cost of building units vs. affordability gap to purchase a Vail home.
Area Median Income (AMI) was used along with understanding the gap is to purchase a
home in Vail. With Economic Planning Systems (EPS) assistance the Town will review
Residential Linkage as way of addressing mitigation for residential development. The
goal is to have updated fees adopted on or by January 1, 2021.
Andrew Knudtsen and Rachel Shindman from EPS provided an overview of analysis
and options to move away from Commercial Linkage (CL) and Inclusionary Zoning (IZ)
to a Residential Linkage (RL). There appears to be movement toward RL in other
communities. Big emphasis is on today's construction cost in Vail.
Next step is a joint Council/Authority meeting on October 6, 2020 regarding policy
direction and EPS' approach considerations.
EPS will provide review materials to the Authority prior to October 6, 2020.
