Please see PEC21-0010 for the staff memorandum and related attachments. Applicant: Vail Hotel Partners LLC Laurus Corporation, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence Chairman Kurz introduces items 2.2 and 2.3 as they are connected applications. Planner Spence gives an introduction to the applications. He goes over the location, the history, the connection to the Open Lands Plan updated in 2018, and the environmental concerns with developing this parcel. Pratt asks about a reference to a new bus stop being added on the frontage road and if that has been approved yet. Spence notes that it is too early in the process to approve that and while there may be room to install a pull out, we have yet to determine if a bus stop would work in that location. Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, gives an introduction on their proposal. Pete W iechecki of Treeline Multifamily Partners, Ltd, introduces himself and the intention behind this application. Dominic goes through a presentation on the parcel. He touches on location, the proposal, proximity to services, zoning analysis, Vail Land Use Plan, other lots zoned Housing or have a High Density Residential land use, the criteria for a zoning map amendment, the Employee Housing Strategic Plan, and the land use plan amendment criteria. Gillette asks what is intended to be built on this site. Dominic says 70% deed restricted and 30% market rate apartments. There may be childcare or another amenity for the community. Gillette asks about the Booth Heights rezoning and how in the end they asked for an environmental report and that should have been done at the rezoning rather at the end. Dominic says they had a report for the rezoning at Booth Heights, but Perez disagrees. Spence says that the focus should be on if one is necessary with this application on the table. Asks out whether the Planning Commission would like one, as they can request specific material as needed. Gillette asks if there was an environmental report done at the Booth Heights rezoning, and if another one was done later with the development plan. Dominic says they did an analysis at rezoning, but did further study as requested for the development plan later in the process. Spence adds that Land Use amendment was not done at Booth Heights which we are looking at with this application. This is the time to look at the use of the site. Staff firmly believes that any environmental assessment that needs to be done for the site should be done at this point. Perez says it is impossible to know what the rezoning effect will be without a development plan. Perez wants to know what the closest use would be to the low -medium scale development mentioned in the OLP. Spence says there are 3 land uses, low, medium, and high density for residential with different density being the main difference between the three. Dominic adds that the Housing district allows PEC to set the standards, so there is no risk. The PEC can limit it to as much as they believe is allowable based on a future environmental study. Spence agrees, except that the land use under the zoning changes the appropriate uses on the site. If we change the land use to High Density instead of Park it changes the fundamental approach to the developability of the parcel. Gillette wants to go back to review various land use plans and the different takes from staff and applicant. He would also like some sort of environmental assessment before making a decision. Spence asks what he would like to see in that report. Gillette doesn't want to lead findings by suggesting something but would like to leave it up to the biologist to give them the environmental concerns that exist in the area and possible development impacts. Kurz agrees they should have some sort of environmental study done. He would like to see Staff work with the applicant on what the scope of a study should be and that it be done by a 3rd party consultant. Lockman clarifies that the applicant said there was a mistake done in the land use plan and asks if staff agrees with that statement. Spence says staff does not agree it was a mistake. It was zoned Agriculture back in the 70s and seemed the appropriate use due to proximity of the Gore Creek and Donovan park. The lots across the creek are a different use due to other circumstances. Lockman agrees that the intensity of development is the crux of the argument and that previous Commissioner's comments are correct. We'd be going from Park to High-density. This is a big change and would need a study to understand the impact of the development. Kurz asks for some indication of density in terms of population. 122 units with 82k sq. ft of building gives some idea, but how many people are anticipated. What would the parking plans be? Is there a concern the Donovan park could begin to function as overflow? Environmental concerns and Gore Creek protection is big for this application. Spence reiterates that the site may be suitable for some development but plans and adopted policies seems to specifically limit the amount of development. Pratt adds that there is double the amount of mass and three time the amount of parking than what was on solar vail. This is a lot for Frontage road and would like PW to weigh in on the impacts to that road, as it is the steepest portion of the frontage road. Spence has spoken with Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer. He believes that there is room for it and could be accommodated, but the configuration changes in the road would need further review. Kjesbo mentions the criteria talks about potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents being one of the criteria. Past planners and Councils have talked about potential open space and making sure all the valley isn't built up and there is still some open space preserved. There is a problem with taking an environmentally sensitive parcel and developing on it. Focus shifts and we're hard on housing right now, but we shouldn't lose all of our open space. Need more information on the SDD in the area and was this considered on it. The bike path is right there and pristine, what would it look like with a 4 -story building right there? Kjesbo agrees with Perez we need a plan. Agrees with Lockman on going from Park to High Density Residential is a big stretch. Need to do more notification to let people know of the application. Documents show low to medium density and this is much different. A lot of concern about adding this next to Donovan as they will absolutely "poach" parking. Concerned about losing open space to high-density housing. Spence states if this would be changed to high-density residential and the rest of the project does not happen, it would leave this site open to a high density residential project and would be hard to say no to if this goes from park to high density. Gillette asks about the connection of the land use to the SDD Spence says SDD is connected, but more connected to the zoning which is set by land use. The SDD amends some of the zoning requirements, but not uses. The Zoning is determined by the land use underneath. Dominic adds that developability is based on zoning. The Housing zoning is set by the PEC and could be limited as appropriate. The risk of not knowing what the zoning will be does not make a development plan feasible at this time. Applicant would like to know what the PEC thinks is appropriate amount for this lot and if the land use is desirable here. An environmental report is difficult to do without a development plan. Gillette wants to know the difference between what a development would look like under low density land use and housing zoning and high density land use and housing zoning. What would be different. Spence, low density is generally single-family and duplex development. Medium density is 4-14 units per acre, with more of an attached product development. High density is 15 units and above. The size can be the same with different amount of units inside, which is a greater intensity and greater impact on the surrounding and facilities. Gillette says once it is a Housing it is a blank check and it wouldn't matter for the land use, correct? Spence says that low density may not work for housing, but medium or high could be appropriate for that zoning. The underlying land use would help staff and PEC know what amount of intensity it appropriate when it comes to density. Dominic says how solar vail is medium density but did 65 units/acre with the housing. It is more about how the building fits the site more than units inside of it. We could call this medium density and do something similar to Solar Vail in theory. Kjesbo clarifies that the PEC could find that the Agricultural and Open Space zoning and Park land use is appropriate and not change the land use or zoning, correct? Spence agrees. Gillette asks if they could do housing on this lot and if so, then why change? Lockman reiterates this question. Dominic points out leniency of Housing district development standards compared to what would be allowed under the current zoning. Gillette would like a comparison. Spence says that rezoning or land use sets the table for what could be proposed. AOS community housing would be much smaller than a project under the Housing zone district. Kurz asks for public comment and puts a letter received into the record. John Rediker is interested in discussion and appreciates the applicant's concern about doing a development plan prior to surety of a final zoning. He recognizes the uniqueness of the lot. High density designation on such a small site is tough. Over 100 units with above ground parking is a large footprint and at development stage would lead to a lot of bulk and mass. Standing on the bike path the building would be a big impact with a four story building stretching the length of the lot. Seeking to change the land use without the commission understanding the scope and scale of the development is tough. Agrees with applicant that they can't have an impactful environmental report without knowing what will be going on the site. At some point one will be required, and it will affect gore creek with runoff, garage drains, adequacy of typical drainage prevention. Susan Bird agrees with Mr. Rediker. She walks this path every day for 45 years and it is a shame to do any development there. We need to embrace open space. There are other areas for housing and would be disappointed with any development in this location. No more public input. Public comment is closed. Gillette would like to know the ability to do some sort of image of a massing model to show a potential development on the site. Dominic believes they could do something of the sort. It sounds like the Town wants to know impacts of runoff and human impacts in the environmental report. Spence asks for clarification on what further information would be required by the PEC in order to make a decision on these applications. Gillette says yes, they will need an environmental report. Needs a better handle on the land use plan and other documents. A deeper analysis on those relevant plans are necessary. Massing models of different densities and different setbacks. Spence clarifies, an environmental analysis and massing analysis. Gillette agrees. Massing would need to come first and determining massing could allow for a more accurate environmental report. Lockman asks about the intent in a comment on the OLP, about if the town had acquired this parcel what would the town be doing with it? Spence says we wouldn't know what the application would be but it could be the same situation with the Town and the applicant. Land use and environmental impacts aren't affected by ownership. The results and impacts would be the same. Spence there is no other document that says this is a developable site Dominic says there are a lot of documents that say housing should be done as infill and where possible. Perez says that we need more information to make a decision. Spence brings up a point from what the applicant had said earlier, that there was not a deep dive and that now may be the time to determine the developability before we make the change in that direction. Kurz wraps up the comments from commissioners by requesting the information that were brought forth by the commission. Karen Perez moved to continue to March 22, 2021.

(PEC21-0008) Applicant: TNFREF III Bravo Vail LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Greg Roy SUMMARY The applicant, TNREF III Bravo Vail LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting the review of a Minor Subdivision, pursuant to Section 13-4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for a resubdivision of the existing Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3 Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1, Vail Das Schone Filing 3, into the Highline Subdivision made up of two parcels, Lot 1 (3.696 acres) and Lot 2 (0.253 acres), located at 2211 North Frontage Road West and 2213 Chamonix Lane, respectively. Based upon staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval, with a condition, of this application, subject to the findings in Section VIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting to subdivide the existing parcel into two separate lots in accordance with the approval of the Major Exterior Alteration application that was approved on April 13th, 2020. The current lot lines will be vacated and the new subdivision will create Lot 1 and Lot 2. Lot 1 will consist of the hotel building and associated improvements while Lot 2 will be the site for the future employee housing (EHU) building. There are several easements being added including on the eastern boundary for the proposed stairway to connect the parking on Lot 1 to the front of the EHU building and the new six foot (6') pedestrian easement along the eastern property line for a future pedestrian walkway. The plat also creates a parking easement between the two properties for the sixteen (16) parking space for the EHU building to be located on Lot 1. There is also a roadway access easement in the northeast corner to allow for the portion of Chamonix Lane that crosses the property line.

III. BACKGROUND E W. Town of Vail Page 3 In 1980, the hotel was built under Eagle County jurisdiction and was annexed into the Town of Vail per Ordinance No. 43, Series 1980 and the zoned Commercial Core 3 (CC3) within the required ninety days. The Ordinance was later overturned by the Colorado Court of Appeals due to a lack on contiguity. It was then annexed again with Ordinance No. 1, Series 1986 and was again zoned CC3 with Ordinance No. 10, Series of 1986. The major exterior alteration, rezoning, and special development district applications were discussed before the PEC as part of a work session on December 9th, 2019. The Design Review Board also reviewed a conceptual application on December 18th, 2019. The applications were scheduled to be heard on March 23rd but were tabled to the April 13th meeting. On April 13th the PEC approved, with conditions, the major exterior alteration and made recommendations of approval to the Town Council for the rezoning and special development district applications. The Vail Town Council approved on second reading both the rezoning and new SDD on June 16, 2021 IV.

REVIEW CRITERIA Zoning District: Two -Family Primary/Secondary (PS) None Community Core 3 (CC3) Community Core 3 (CC3) Housing 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, one of the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan is applicable to this subdivision. Town of Vail Page 11 Goal 1. 12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). The proposed minor subdivision will allow infill development by creating another developable parcel on a piece of property that is currently developed. 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 As proposed, the two (2) lots meet the applicable development standards for the Public Accommodation 2 (PA -2) District and Special Development District No. 43 Highline DoubleTree. The only deviations from the requirements of the PA -2 district were reviewed and allowed under the SDD No. 43 Highline Doubletree. 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 shared property line splits the parcel into two lots that are respective of the propose uses on the site and do not create any undue burden on either lot. Easements are put in place with this subdivision to allow access and parking between the lots for a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship. Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion. 4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area; and Staff finds that the proposed reconfiguration will have no negative impacts on the future development of the surrounding area. The proposed subdivision creates a lot line that separates two proposed uses. As these two lots were approved as one development lot and share zoning regulations, there is no interior setback so there is no loss of developable area with the added lot line. This change will have no effects on future development in the surrounding area. Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets this criterion. Town of Vail Page 12 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 Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not cause any inefficiency in the delivery of public services and will not require duplication or premature extension of public services. The proposed subdivision will not result in a leapfrog development pattern because the lot is already developed and is only separating the proposed uses on the existing lot. The subdivision allows for infill development that will lessen the appearance of any "leapfrog" pattern that may exist today. 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 A condition of approval has been added that the applicant receive an "Ability to Serve" letter from Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD). This is the process by which the applicant works with ERWSD to appropriate water rights for the proposed new lot. Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is currently served by appropriately sized utility lines, resulting in no future land disruptions to upgrade undersized lines. Staff finds the proposed subdivision meets 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; 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. The proposed uses on these lots have previously be reviewed and approved by both the PEC and Town Council through the Major Exterior Alteration and Special Development District application processes. The Commission and Council found those uses, and the contemplated subdivision to be in line with the community's goals within the Town. 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 Town of Vail Page 13 Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not result in any adverse impacts to natural environments, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, and other desirable natural features. The site is currently a developed parcel and will not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment. 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. VIII.

Frontage Rd. West in Vail. The Town of Vail previously approved a Rezoning from CC3 to PA2, an SDD, and Major Exterior Alteration for the property. This proposed subdivision allows for the employee housing property to be under separate ownership from the hotel property. In addition, the purpose of the proposed subdivision is to vacate existing lot lines within the site, and establish appropriate easements for the property. Specifically, the purpose of the subdivision is to vacate Lots 1, 2, 3, and Tract A of Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1 of Vail Das Schone Filing No. 3. Additionally, the plat will vacate the condominium map for the Apex Condominiums (2004). The subdivision then creates Lots 1 and 2, Highline Subdivision. .�. ..is . K f off" k- " V�' The plat also provides a 6 foot wide pedestrian easement along the east property to accommodate a future paved pedestrian path, a roadway easement to allow for a portion of Chamonix Lane that encroaches on the applicant's property, and a access easement to allow access through Lot 2 for the benefit of Lot 1 to allow pedestrian access on a stairway leading Highline Subdivision 3 from the parking area of the hotel to Chamonix Lane. The proposed plat is consistent with the approved SDD. The Highline SDD was adopted by Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2020. For reference, the Highline SDD allows for the following: 176 AUs with approximately 32,555 sq. ft. of net new GRFA 19 LSLUs with approximately 20,050 sq. ft. of GRFA 12 employee housing bedrooms within a dormitory space with approximately 4,400 sq. ft. of floor area 15 employee housing units (1, 2, and 3 bedroom units) with approximately 13,502 sq. ft. of floor area (located on proposed Lot 2) 208 total parking spaces (39 net new parking spaces, 48 of which are enclosed) Public Benefits of the Project: r1 Employee housing far in excess of requirements, all on-site and near the major employment center, addressing one of the documented critical needs of the Town (The proposal generates the need to house 9.5 employees and the project well exceeds this requirement) All EHUs are highly functional and livable dwellings within the employment center of Vail for single and/or double occupancy 15 Type 3 EHUs, not required as mitigation, are proposed as a benefit of the project Redevelopment of an infill site in the Town of Vail as suggested by the Vail Land Use Plan Economic vitality and enhanced public and private revenues to Town as a result of new lodging facilities and locals housing Improving the Town's hotel bed base New community sidewalk along Chamonix Road along the Highline frontage improving neighborhood accessibility to and from the commercial areas i 001441bla 2 Highline EHU Building Highline Subdivision 4 Zoning Analysis Existing Site: Location: 2211 N.

Each criterion is listed below, along with the applicant response to the criteria: 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 property is discussed in the Vail Land Use Plan. Other applicable plans include the Vail 20/20 Plan and the Housing Strategic Plan, all of which are described below: • Vail Land Use Plan The adopted map of the Vail Land Use Plan shows a designation of "Community Commercial" for the majority of the property. LAND USE DESIGNATIONS 0 Hils,de Residential Transition A— L— Deredy Resio ntial Pudlicl SemlPrdAic Median Density RwdeMial Ski Base High Density Residemid Park 0 Resort A=nnnvdatims ar Sercices Open Space Community Office Nat Designated Village Masts Plan iIF Ski Portal LionsHead Ren--iopmew Master Plan - C— pC--i.C--i.1�f � Gore Greek Town Boundary are\ Yo\ \ Y Per the Vail Land Use Plan of 1986, this area was designated to be Community Commercial. (See Vail Land Use Plan, Chapter VI - Proposed Land Use). This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short- term visitor to the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented toward vehicular access from 1-70, with other support commercial and business services included. Also Highline Subdivision 6 allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal uses." (Vail Land Use Plan pg. 25) This new category has been designated for the West Vail commercial area, which is primarily oriented to serve the needs of the permanent resident and the long-term visitor. Because the community expressed the desire to concentrate commercial uses within existing commercial nodes, no new commercial areas have been designated. The CC land use area contains 24 acres or 1% of the land area. " (Vail Land Use Plan pg. 28). The intention of the Preferred Land Use Plan was to "...reflect[s] a balancing of existing conditions, community opinion, opportunities and constraints, and projected growth demands. The Vail Land Use Plan provides the following Goals and Objectives that are applicable to this proposed subdivision: 1. General Growth / Development 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. 1.2. The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.4. The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new development in the Village Core through continued implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.5. Commercial strip development of the Valley should be avoided. 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7. New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 1.12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1.13. Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 5. Residential Highline Subdivision 7 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. 5.2. Quality time share units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. 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. • Vail 20/20 Plan The Vail 20/20 Plan provides the following goals: Provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. • Employee Housing Strategic Plan The Employee Housing Strategic Plan outlines the Town of Vail's goals and policies to ensure employee housing. It provides the following objectives: The Town of Vail adopted the Employee Housing Strategic Plan in 2016, recognizing the difficulties that Town faced in ensuring the availability of housing for Vail residents. The plan provided one goal: The Town of Vail will acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027. It further states: These new deed restrictions will be acquired for both existing homes as well as for homes that are newly constructed by both the Town of Vail and private sector developers. Highline Subdivision 8 By virtue of the occupancy requirements of the deed restrictions, the Town of Vail does not need to own resident homes to forward its mission of maintaining and sustaining community. Title to real estate can change ownership often. Once recorded, a deed restriction transfers with the title and survives changes in ownership over time, thus assuring long term resident housing. This proposed subdivision helps to further the goal of the Town of Vail to provide deed - restricted housing for 30% of the workforce. This property creates an exciting opportunity to create new housing stock in an area that provides services and transportation within walking distance. This allows Vail to remain economically competitive in attracting and maintaining a quality workforce. The proposed subdivision, as documented with the approval of the SDD and zone change applications, is consistent with the goals and objectives of the various Town of Vail planning documents and helps to further four of Vail's critical goals: creating employee housing within the Town of Vail boundaries to ensure that Vail remains economically competitive; maintaining and increasing the Town's lodging bed base to increase revenues and improve the vitality of the Town's economy; to increase occupancy and vitality in the shoulder seasons by providing new conference space; and promoting infill development within the Town. 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 proposed subdivision allows for the employee housing site to be under separate ownership from the Highline property. However, for the purposes of zoning, both properties are subject to the approved SDD No. 42. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the standards to Title 12 and with the approved SDD, and therefore complies with this criterion. 3. The extent to which the proposed subdivision presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; APPLICANT RESPONSE: This property sits on the edge between the West Vail Commercial Center and multi -family residential properties. The West Vail Commercial Center consists of commercial uses designed to meet the needs of locals and guests alike. When moving between commercial zoning and residential zoning, it is important to consider a transition that provides a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship among the existing land uses. Just like the existing hotel, the proposed hotel and employee housing will provide Highline Subdivision 9 such a transition and will continue to be compatible and complimentary to the other uses within the area. Given the location and adjacency of two zone districts types (commercial and residential), a hotel and workforce housing such as this provide an obvious transition and present a harmonious, convenient and workable relationship between these land uses. The proposed subdivision, as documented with the approval of the SDD and zone change applications, furthers three major development objectives: • Provision of employee housing • Encourage the preservation and expansion of the Town's lodging bed base • Encourage the development of conference facilities to address generation of revenues during the slower shoulder seasons As a result, the proposal is consistent with this criterion. 4. The extent of the effects on the future development of the surrounding area; APPLICANT RESPONSE: Highline is adjacent to the 1-70 and North Frontage Road corridor to the south of the property. It provides a transition between the West Vail commercial core to its east, commercial to the west, and residential to the west and to the north. The Vail Land Use Plan expressed a desire to concentrate commercial uses in designated locations. The Highline provides lodging to overnight guests, while the EHU units provide the desirable transition from Commercial uses to Residential uses (which are to the north and to the west of the property). Highline Subdivision 10 The approved uses are compatible with the surrounding residential uses to the north and west and the commercial uses to the east and the west as was determined with the approval of the SDD and zone change last year. The proposed EHU structure is similar in scale and mass to the Chamonix Townhouses and other multi -family buildings in the area. As a result, the proposed subdivision is compatible with the surrounding area and is consistent with 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; APPLICANT RESPONSE: The proposed subdivision, along with the already approved SDD and zone change, are located within the established commercial and residential center of West Vail. This area is well -served by public services, including fire, police, and ambulance services. As an infill development, this subdivision is the opposite of "leapfrog" development, because it is located in an area where services and public facilities already exist, and no duplication or premature extension is necessary. The proposed subdivision therefore complies 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 infill site, impacts to utilities are minor. Utility service is currently provided to the property. The proposed subdivision complies 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: The proposed subdivision is the final implementation of the Town's approval of the Highline SDD. The SDD allows for the redevelopment of the Highline hotel and the creation of employee housing within a major commercial center of the Town of Vail. This proposed subdivision therefore complies with 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: The proposed subdivision does not adversely impact the natural environment. The site is currently largely developed and any environmental impacts the may have occurred did so decades ago. As evidenced in the EIR provided from the review Highline Subdivision 11 of the SDD, there is limited to no impacts on water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides, or other desirable natural features. 9. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed subdivision. APPLICANT RESPONSE: Any additional information requested from the Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council can be provided by the applicant.

(PEC21-0010) (Please see attached legal notice for legal description) and A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for the rezoning of approximately 2.19 acres from the Agriculture and Open Space (AOS) zoning to Housing (H), located at 1497 South Frontage Road West and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0009) (Please see attached legal notice for legal description) Applicant: Vail Hotel Partners LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Hotel Partners LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for two (2) applications These two applications, an amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan and a zone district boundary amendment, will prepare the property for a future development plan application in the Housing (H) District. This memorandum and the associated public hearing are intended to introduce the project and its components. This will also serve as an opportunity for the Planning and Environmental Commission to request additional information and for the public to provide comment. As this is an introductory meeting, no request for recommendations or actions is made. As such, staff has provided the associated review criteria for each application but have withheld analysis until a future meeting. Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission continues these applications to the March 22nd meeting date. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS Vail Land Use Map Amendment. This application proposes to amend the Vail Land Use Plan for the subject property to change the land use designation from Park to High Density Residential. The proposed new land use designation of High Density Residential is designed for multi -floor residential uses in excess of 15 dwelling units per acre. The Middle Creek Village Apartment development has a designation of High Density Residential while the Solar Vail Apartment development has a designation of Medium Density Residential. This application, in addition the rezoning application (PEC21-0009), are necessary to provide the regulatory framework for a future housing development application. Please see Section VII regarding the appropriateness of the proposed designation. Zone District Boundary Amendment: Vail Hotel Partners request the PEC forwards a recommendation to the Vail Town Council to rezone the subject parcel from the Agricultural and Open space (A) to the Housing (H) zone district. The basis for a recommendation is this amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan and the 2018 Open Lands Plan that recognized the potential for housing on this site. Please find attached for review: A. Legal Notice with metes and bounds parcel description B. Vicinity Map C. Applicant's Narrative, February 8, 2021 D. Survey Set, February 8, 2021 III. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 2.19 acre parcel located just to the east of the Donovan Park Complex. The property is adjacent to the Gore Creek (Designated Streamtract) and is encumbered by a 15' pedestrian and bike easement in addition to a number of utility easements along the Frontage Road portion of the site. The site contains limited areas of steep slopes resulting from the 1-70 construction. The floodplain associated with Gore Creek is largely channelized in this area with minimal impact to the property. The earliest record of this metes and bounds property in the records of the Eagle County Clerk and recorder was a transfer in 1967 from the Mansfield Corporation to the American Mission of the Lutheran Church who held the property until purchased by The Cascade Club Ltd. in 1984. Because of its inclusion within the Cascade Club Resort ownership, if was often thought to share the zoning designation of Special Development District with the larger Cascade property. Although under common ownership (now the Grand Hyatt), this is a separate and distinct parcel with its own zoning and land use classifications. Another possible incorrect assumption was that the parcel was an extension of Donovan Park, which may explain the classification of Park on the Vail land Use Plan. The graphic below shows the general location of the parcel: IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Town of Vail Land Use Plan Process The Town of Vail Land Use Plan was adopted on November 18, 1986, with the purpose of articulating land use goals and guiding future decisions regarding land use within the Town. Accompanying the Plan is a map which identifies in a spatial format the location of the Land Use Categories identified in the Plan. Pursuant to Section 8-3, Amendment Process, of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan, the amendment process is one which is intended to assure the Plan's effectiveness with periodic updates to reflect current thinking and changing market conditions. The process includes amendments which may be initiated in any of the following three ways: A. By the Community Development Department B. By the Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council C. By the private sector For those requests initiated by the private sector, the following process shall be followed: 1. Make application with the Community Development Department. Applications may be made by either a registered voter, a property owner or a property owner's authorized representative. Such application may be made at any time. 2. Such applications will then be considered at a meeting with the PEC. At the Planning and Environmental Commission hearing, a recommendation shall be made to the Town Council, whereupon a decision shall then be rendered. To change the Plan by this procedure, it will be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly demonstrate how conditions have change since the Plan was adopted, how the Plan is in error or how the addition, deletion or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general. Such decisions may include approval, approval with conditions or denial. Amendments maybe requested for change to the goals and policies and/or Land Use Plan Map. If such request is approved, such change shall be made to the Plan document and/or map. If such request is denied, no such request that is substantially the same as that previously denied shall be considered for a period of one year. Staff believes that the following provisions of the Town's Comprehensive Plan are relevant to the review of this proposal. These documents identity the policy goals of the community and should be weighed against the proposed Master Plan to determine if the Plan is helping to advance the community's priorities: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL ACTION PLAN 2018-2020 Our Mission - Grow a vibrant, diverse economy and community and preserve our surrounding natural environment, providing our citizens and guests with exceptional services and an abundance of premier recreational, cultural and educational opportunities.

The Town is well positioned financially to undertake this significant challenge. Mission: Maintaining and Sustaining Community - We create, provide, and retain high quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents to support a sustainable year round economy and build a vibrant, inclusive and resilient community. We do this through acquiring deed restrictions on homes so that our residents have a place to live in Vail Policy Statement: Resident Housing as Infrastructure - We acknowledge that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government. VAIL LAND USE PLAN CHAPTER 11— LAND USE PLAN GOALS/ POLICIES.- The OLICIES: The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows: 1. General Growth /Development 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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5. Residential 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. Land Use Categories The Vail Land Use Plan contains a number of land use classifications for commercial, resort and residential uses. The Three most applicable to this parcel are the low, medium and high density classifications, as shown below. LDR Low Density Residential This category includes single-family detached homes and two-family dwelling units. Density of development within this category would typically not exceed 3 structures per buildable acres. Also within this area would be private recreation facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools and club houses for the use of residents of the area. Institutional/ public uses permitted would include churches, fire stations, and parks and open space related facilities. MDR Medium Density Residential The medium density residential category includes housing which would typically be designed as attached units with common walls. Densities in this category would range from 3 to 14 dwelling units per buildable acre. Additional types of uses in this category would include private recreation facilities, private parking facilities and institutional / public uses such as parks and open space, churches and fire stations. HDR High Density Residential The housing in this category would typically consist of multi -floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and 2018 OPEN LANDS PLAN UPDATE The subject parcel is referenced three times in the 2018 update to the Open Lands Plan. These references include in Chapter 3 -Town -Owned Lands and Use of Lands: FALISA TENNIS COURTS Tennis courts for the Talisa Hotel are located on this 3 acre site. The site is located immediately adjacent to Donovan Park. If in the future the hotel is interested disposal of this land, the Town could consider acquisition for a low to medium density workforce housing. The design of a housing project must be sensitive to the Gore Valley Trail and the Gore Creek corridor. Refer to Action Item #9 in Chapter 5. There is an additional reference in Chapter 5 -Action plan: ACTION ITEM #9 Purpose — Public facility/park expansion or workforce housing project. Action — Acquire parcel Other Information — This 3.0 acre parcel has three tennis courts that are owned and managed by the Hotel Talisa ownership group. In the event the ownership group were interested in disposing of this parcel, the Town's acquisition could allow for the development of a small workforce housing development or expansion of Donovan Park. Refer to Chapter 3 - Town Owned Lands and Use of Lands for more information. And finally, the parcel is referenced in the Action Plan Matrix included with the Open Lands Plan as an Appendix. This matrix includes the Action Item #, description and ownership in addiion to action item objective and recommened action. For this parcel, the action was to acquire the parel and the objective was for the protection of sensitive lands.

REVIEW CRITERIA Vail Land Use Plan Amendment Zoning CDOT Streamtract Designation SDD #4 (Cascade Village) General Use (GU) Before acting on a proposed amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan Map, pursuant to Section 8-3, Amendment Process, Vail Land Use Plan, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposal: A. Have conditions changed since the plan was adopted? B. Was the plan in error in respect to the delineation on the Land Use Map? C. Is a revision to the plan in concert with the plan, in general? Zone District Boundary Amendment Per Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, before acting on a zone district boundary amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this proposal: 1. The extent to which the zone district amendment 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. 2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents. 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. 4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community. 5. The extent to which the zone district amendment 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. 6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. 7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. 8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS As alluded to in the applicant's narrative, these first two applications are part of a group of applications necessary to prepare the site for future housing development. Because the prescriptive nature of many of the development standards in the Housing (H) Zone District, the form and density of the future development is largely unknown at this time. The applicant has stated in the provided narrative that approximate development parameters at this time include 122 residential units and enclosed parking at a one space per unit ratio. The project would consist of a single building four stories in height along the Frontage Road stepping down to three stories closer to Gore Creek. The proposed density equates roughly to 66 units per acre. By comparison the Lions Ridge Development is 22 units per acre while the Middle Creek Housing Development is approximately 30 units per acre. Density in and of itself is not an accurate barometer of development intensity as it does not take into account surface versus structures parking or unit size. Staff including member of Town's Environmentally Sustainability Department have identified the following for additional discussion: Proposed Amendment to the Future Land Use Plan and Rezoning. The application proposes to change the designation of the subject parcel on the Future Land Use Map from Park to High Density Residential. At this time, based on the adopted 2018 Open Land Use Plan (OLP), staff does not find support for this dramatic swing in intensity of use and development. The three references to this parcel in the OLP have a common theme that knits the references together. This theme is that is the use of the property were to change, a small to medium density workforce housing development with sensitivity to the Gore Creek corridor and the Gore Valley Trail is the most appropriate development scenario. The designation of high density residential with densities more than 15 unit per acre is inconsistent with this guiding document. The preferred development scenario was based on an analysis of the property through the 2018 OLP process. Environmental concerns related to intensity of development were key factors in the recommendation. A rezoning to Housing could be consistent with a change to any residential designation on the Land Use Map due to the lack of prescriptive standards in the district. This rezoning would require significant direction to potential developers regarding appropriate density. The Housing (H) District does allow not restricted units to account for up to 30% of the floor areas as conditional use to assist in subsidizing the development. Due to the limited number of units that may be realized on this site, unrestricted units may not be appropriate. An alternative to a rezoning could be a Special Development District utilizing the existing underlying zoning as EHUs are a permitted use. Environmental Concerns Any proposed development on this parcel must be sensitive to its location and should not be counter to the goals of the Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan (Plan). The Plan recommends a three -zone buffer framework for properties adjacent to the Creek. Under the framework outlined in the Plan this parcel should fall into Zone 2 which, "should include low impact uses like parks and bike paths, ideally constructed with pervious materials and associated LID/green BMPs that minimize surface runoff and promote infiltration of snowmelt and precipitation." (Page 33). Under Best Management Practices, the first recommendation in the Plan is "Reduce Runoff and Erosion" by establishing "Design standards that reduce runoff volumes and speeds by maximizing pervious areas and infiltration capacity; minimize connections between impervious areas" (Page 26). The establishment of a substantial area of impervious surface just across the bike path from Gore Creek will have impacts on the creek that run counter to the objectives of the Plan and would undermine the success of riparian restoration projects and stormwater treatment projects the town has completed on parcels adjacent to the one in question. The Town has worked diligently over the last 5 years to restore riparian areas damaged by foot traffic down to Gore Creek. Locating a large number of residences adjacent to those riparian restoration efforts will likely lead to reestablishment of those recently rehabilitated social trails and associated erosion. Based on conversations with the Town Engineer, as this project is adjacent to Gore Creek and the Gore Creek 100 year floodplain, it would be beneficial to the project and to Gore Creek if the project was prohibited from having a finished floor elevation below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) of the 100 year floodplain. A finished floor elevation and/or significant excavation below the BFE will likely require significant dewatering; which due to its location adjacent to Gore Creek, will more than likely default to a continuous cyclical effort to dewater the creek bed and then discharge the same water back into creek bed. An on-going effort that is likely costly and potentially impactful to the creek. Future Development Plan Although not under review today, the next step following a successful completion of the Vail Land Use Plan amendment and the rezoning will be a development plan. The development plan will detail the projects specifications, proposed development standards and general mass and scale. Items of special interest may include: A. Adequate separation of future building and programming from recreational path and easement. B. Adequate outdoor space for residents on both a per unit basis (decks/patios) and in general (picnic and play areas). There is a concern due to the proximity of Donovan Park that the park will become the de facto amenity package for the residents. Additional use of the park will result the in increased generation of trash and wear and tear on the park, resulting in increased maintenance needs C. Appropriate environmental measures related to the proximity of the project to the Gore Creek and the Town -owned Streamtract parcel. D. Project renderings and simulations including from the perspective of trail users and adjacent properties. E. Synergy between the 2018 Open Lands Plan update and any workforce housing proposal. F. No development adjacent to Gore Creek below the base flood elevation (BFE) VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission continue items PEC21-0009 and PEC21-0010 to March 22, 2021 or another mutually agreed upon date.

Frontage Road / Parcel 2103-122-00-001. The current use of the property includes 3 tennis courts, along with the Town of Vail multi -use trail. The proposal is to remove the tennis courts and use this area of the site for a community housing project, consisting of approximately 122 units, and consistent with the Housing zone district which requires at least 70% of the units to be deed -restricted. A portion of these units will be reserved to fulfill any housing requirements of a future development project located at the Cornerstone property, along with a future redevelopment project of the Aria Spa building. The multi -use trail, which is located within an easement on the property, will remain in its current location. Tennis Court site, located at 1494 S. Frontage Road in Vail. Photo from Google Earth. The development of a community housing project on this site is a multi -step process and requires the following review process by the Town of Vail: Step 1: • Rezoning: The property is currently zoned Agricultural and Open Space (A). The applicant is proposing a rezoning to the Housing (H) zone district. A rezoning application is reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission who makes a recommendation to the Town Council, who has final decision-making authority. Vail Land Use Plan Amendment: The property has a land use designation of Park. The applicant is proposing an amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan, adopted in 1986, to High Density Residential. This follows the guidance of the Open Lands Plan, adopted in 2018, to encourage development of the site as workforce housing. The Amendment is reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission who makes a recommendation to the Town Council, who has final decision-making authority. Step 2: • Development Plan: Following the Town's review of the Rezoning and Vail Land Use Plan Amendment, and should the Town approve the requests, the applicant will submit a Development Plan as required by the Housing zone district under Section Cascade Apartments 12-61-11. The Development Plan is then reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board. Subdivision: Concurrently with the review of the Development Plan, a subdivision application will be submitted to plat the property, establish any necessary easements, and provide for any land dedication to the Town that may be appropriate, such as areas impacted by floodplain or the Town's recreation path. Completing Step 1 first allows the Town to review the general concept of community housing on the site, including consistency with the criteria of review for a rezoning request and the Vail Land Use Plan amendment. View of the tennis site, looking east along the multi -use path. The design of the building will be submitted with the Development Plan application for review by the Town. For reference, the current development concept includes approximately 122 community housing units, with a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three- bedroom units in approximately 85,000 sq. ft. of GRFA. Responding to the change in grade of the site, the conceptual building design is 4 -stories along the Frontage Road, stepping down to 3 -stories along Gore Creek. A new proposed bus stop along the Frontage Road will serve the residents of Cascade Apartments and the site is directly adjacent to the multi -use path, creating a sustainable, multi -modal, transit -oriented development. As currently envisioned, the proposed development also includes structured parking, with a parking ratio of approximately 1 parking space per unit. The site is directly adjacent to Donovan Park, a short walk from all the services and amenities at the Grand Hyatt, including the Cascade lift, and access to the Cascade Apartments commercial services in West Vail is within walking and biking distance via either the West Vail roundabout or the Simba Run underpass. The proposed development occurs mostly on the area of the site that is already disturbed with the existing and somewhat abandoned tennis courts. The tennis courts create an existing development footprint on the property. There are no direct impacts to the multi -use path. Additionally, the future development plan will respect the Gore Creek setback and has no impact on the flood plain of Gore Creek. Stormwater run off quality controls will be reviewed with the future development plan application and will comply with all of the Town's requirements. Where possible, the existing vegetation along Gore Creek will be preserved. Cascade Apartments Zoning Analysis Location: 1494 S.

Cascade Apartments 7 Criteria for Review: Zoning Amendment A zoning amendment is reviewed under the criteria listed under Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town Code. Each criterion is listed below, along with the applicant response to the criteria: (1) The extent to which the zone district amendment 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 proposal includes a proposed amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan, which was adopted in 1986. Since the adoption of the Vail Land Use Plan, the Town of Vail has adopted other master planning documents that are also applicable to the review of this proposal. The following master planning documents are summarized below: • Vail Land Use Plan • Open Lands Plan • Vail 2020 Plan • Employee Housing Strategic Plan Vail Land Use Plan (1986, updated 2009) The Vail Land Use Plan, which was adopted in 1986, is the oldest land use plan currently in use at the Town. While there have been amendments over the years, these have been minor and specific to various projects in the Town of Vail. The Vail Land Use Plan states the following as its primary purposes: This document is intended to serve as a basis from which future decisions may be made regarding land use within the Valley. The primary focus of the Land Use Plan has been to address the long-term needs and desires of the Town as it matures. The Town of Vail has evolved from a small ski resort founded in 1962 with 190,0001 annual skier visits and virtually no permanent residents to a community with 4,500 permanent residents and 1,223,450 annual skier visits in the short time span of twenty-four years. The Town is now faced with the challenge of creatively accommodating the projected growth, while preserving the important qualities which have made Vail successful in the past - as a ski resort, as a permanent place to live, and as a growing year-round resort. This is a considerable challenge, given the fact that land within the Vail Valley is a well- defined "finite" resource, with much of the developable land having already been developed at this junction. This Land Use Plan has been undertaken with the goal of addressing this challenge. A secondary purpose of the Land Use properties owned by the Town of Vail, types of community facilities. Selected future needs and then matched with Town. Cascade Apartments Plan project was to analyze a series of to determine their suitability for various community facilities were analyzed for a series of suitable sites owned by the The Plan then establishes goals, which are intended to be used in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goals are broken down into the following categories: 1. General Growth/Development 2. Skier/Tourist Concerns 3. Commercial 4. Village Core/Lionshead 5. Residential 6. Community Services Due to the nature of this proposal, only those goals that are applicable are provided below: 1. General Growth / Development 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. 1.2. The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7. New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 1.12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1. 13. Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 5. Residential 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. Cascade Apartments 9 6. Community Services 6.1. Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2. The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3. Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. The Vail Land Use Plan provides a land use designation of "Park" for the property, as indicated on the map below: 1404 Ho ZA The description of the "Park" designation is as follows: P - Parks Hillside Residentlal Low Density Residential Medium Density Residential High Density Residual R— Arc.—cations and Services Community Cammercial Community Office V Mage Master Plan Lianshead Redevelopment Master Plan Chamonix Mesta, Plan Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan Tramhion Area PohllclSemi•Puhlic Ski Base Park Open Space ❑ Nat Designated Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. The Vail Land Use Plan then further states the following key goals for parks and open space: Parks and Open Space 1. While an additional golf course was identified as necessary, no site within the Town was pinpointed as a desirable site. 2. The preservation of open space was determined to be a high priority. The improvement of existing parks and open space areas, in concert with continued purchase of open space by the Town were both identified as priorities. Cascade Apartments 10 The proposed amendment would modify the Land Use Map for the property from "Parks" to "High Density Residential," as described below: HDR - High Density Residential The housing in this category would typically consist of multi -floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institution /public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The properties across Gore Creek from the property are also designated as HDR. These properties are Coldstream Condominiums, which is part of the Cascade SDD and Eagle Point, which is zoned High Density Multiple Family. As described above, the Vail Land Use Plan's "Park" designation actually describes properties within this designation as "town -owned" parcels. In 1986, the mapping was less sophisticated than today's GIS allows for. Information was not readily available on a parcel by parcel basis. This property was not owned by the Town of Vail and has never been in public ownership. Based on the community housing needs of the community, even identified as a critical need in the Vail Land Use Plan 35 years ago, this site is more appropriately designated for High Density Residential uses, especially units deed -restricted as community housing. As a result, the rezoning, in conjunction with the Land Use Plan amendment, furthers the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan.

In 2016, the Town initiated an update of the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The goal was to revisit the 1994 Plan and evaluate how it could be refined and updated to: • Confirm the community's overall goals and priorities for the Plan, Cascade Apartments 11 • Evaluate the Action Plan and identify any new Action Items to protect environmentally sensitive lands or other action to implement the goals of the Plan, • Provide better direction for the potential development of recreation trails, • Evaluate Town -owned lands for how they can be used to meet community needs, • Define management strategies for Town -owned lands, and • Protect environmentally sensitive lands and wildlife. r� f Talisa Tennis Courts Tennis courts for the Talisa Hotel are located on this 3 acre site. The site is located immediately adjacent to Donovan Park. If in the future the hotel is interested disposal of this land, the Town could consider acquisition for a low to medium density workforce mousing. The design of a housing project must be While the 2018 Open Lands Plan sensitive to the Gore Valley Trail and the Gore Creek generally focuses on Town -owned corridor. Refer to Action ltem#9 in Chapter 5. property, the plan does evaluate some privately -owned properties for their potential ability to accommodate public facilities or community -oriented uses. In this case, the "Talisa Tennis Courts" was identified as a potential site for workforce housing, if the current ownership was interested in disposal of the land. ti ACTION ITEM #9 Purpose - Public facility/park expansion or workforce housing project. Action - Acquire parcel Other Information - This 3 Q acre parcel has three tennis courts that are owned and managed by the Hotel Talisa ownership group_ In the event the ownership group were interested in disposing of this parcel, the Town's acquisition could allow for the development of a small workforce housing development or expansion of Donovan Park. Refer to Chapter 3 - Town Owned Lands and Use of Lands for more information. '94 Action Plan - N/A The proposal to rezone the site to the Housing zone district is generally consistent with the recommendations of the Open Lands Plan. Vail 20/20 Plan (2007) Vail 20/20 was a strategic action plan adopted in 2007, with a purpose of building upon the Town's successes along with seeing opportunities to improve the community. Similar to the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail 20/20 Plan provided goals for various issues of importance to the community. Specifically, the plan looked at: • Land Use and Development • Parks and Recreation • Environment • Housing Cascade Apartments 12 • Transportation • Economy • Community • Public Safety Due to the nature of this proposal, only those that are applicable to this project are provided below: Land Use and Development Goal #2: Land use and development decisions will address environmental sustainability as a priority of the community. Goal #4: Provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. Housing Goal: The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. The proposal to rezone the site to the Housing zone district is consistent with the objectives identified in the Vail 20/20 plan, by providing a site for employee or community housing. Employee Housing Strategic Plan (2016) The Town of Vail adopted the Employee Housing Strategic Plan in 2016, recognizing the difficulties that Town faced in ensuring the availability of housing for Vail residents. The plan provided one goal: The Town of Vail will acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027. It further states: These new deed restrictions will be acquired for both existing homes as well as for homes that are newly constructed by both the Town of Vail and private sector developers. By virtue of the occupancy requirements of the deed restrictions, the Town of Vail does not need to own resident homes to forward its mission of maintaining and sustaining community. Title to real estate can change ownership often. Once recorded, a deed restriction transfers with the title and survives changes in ownership over time, thus assuring long term resident housing. The proposal to rezone the site to the Housing zone district is consistent with the goals identified in the Employee Housing Strategic Plan, allowing the Town to move significantly closer to the goal of 1,000 deed restrictions by 2027. Cascade Apartments 13 (2) The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents APPLICANT RESPONSE: The existing surrounding land uses are outlined in the table below: Existing Land Use Zoning Land Use Designation Direct North-West Highway 6 and 1-70 right -of- Undesignated Undesignated The Town of Vail Zoning Map and the Land Use Map from the Vail Land Use Plan are the adopted planning documents that define and describe potential land uses of the surrounding property.

Cascade Apartments 14 Aside from Donovan Park, the adjacent zoning allows for significant development to occur. SDD No. 4 is a high-density mixed use development. Both Eagle Point and the Park Meadows site are zoned High Density Multiple Family, which allow for high density development, including lodges. The proposed zoning of the Housing zone district is intended to provide sites for community housing and allows for flexibility so as to maximize the community housing use. Donovan Park is zoned General Use, which allows for public and quasi -public uses. Employee housing is also a permitted use in the General Use zone district. As a result, the proposed zoning is suitable with the existing and potential uses based on the zoning of the surrounding properties. �1 1415 "- ,.� 14Y5 1495 1A03 14➢' 1226 1773 1 1456 -. 1404 1853 1Ran i'Mr,_ 1873 WM" 3aa_ 1295 q, ,2 E . _ i code Pl�Y� • Y 8149 r ,,�oara90 �'- rrP--132 untvrn con n: l 1320 1300 r• 133-3 �vvaq- ,dS't _y>Tarrnm a n 90 1335 Z,. 1285 1 1� 1325295 1385 1345 14 41 269 - cs� "nnnr y: 1455..r 127_ r 1425 128 145 �e•'.�rn,r:.r„r ... .- !.54. 1458 1 (80 1320 1306. 1230 '1 1'.V1 1 I rTIIIL Hll d R d Eal L o yR sden, al Medum Dencty Ras dental ■ kghDe ,s R—d—M Resort Accommodations and Services ■ Community Commercial ■ Community afire ■ Vlllags M,n Plan Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan ■ Chamo Masrer Plan ■ Vzd Valley Medical Cerner Maeter Plan Transmon Area ■ Publldg mi -Public Skl 9— Park ■ Openspaca 1250 With the exception of Donovan Park and the stream tract, the Land Use Map designates the surrounding properties for High Density Residential and Resort Accommodation and Services. Both of these land use designations allow for significant development, including dense residential and mixed-use development. As a result, the proposed zoning is suitable with the existing and potential uses based on the land use designation of the surrounding properties. (3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives APPLICANT RESPONSE: The proposal to rezone the property to the Housing zone district furthers the Town's development objectives as outlined in the analysis of the various master planning documents under Criterion 1. All of the Town's documents and studies indicate the need for the provision of community or employee housing, and the rezoning of this property to the Housing zone district is consistent with municipal development objectives. Cascade Apartments 15 (4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole APPLICANT RESPONSE: The proposed zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community by establishing a site for community or employee housing within the Town of Vail boundaries, close to existing services and transportation. Employee housing is key to ensuring that the Town of Vail remains economically viable and competitive. This does not constitute spot zoning, as the Housing zone district helps further these goals and is consistent with the surrounding zone designations. As a result, the proposed amendment serves the best interest of the community. (5) The extent to which the zone district amendment 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: The evaluation of specific development impacts will occur with an application for Development Plan approval. The rezoning, given the prior development of the site with paved tennis courts without stormwater treatment, will allow for development that results in beneficial impacts to the environment by addressing water quality impacts and all other environmental concerns. There will be impacts to existing vegetation, including mature trees, which can be addressed through the Development Plan review process. The riparian corridor will be improved and respected without introducing new unmitigated impacts to the riparian corridor. (6) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district APPLICANT RESPONSE: The purpose statement for the Housing zone district is as follows: 12-61-1: PURPOSE: The housing district is intended to provide adequate sites for employee housing which, because of the nature and characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other residential zone districts. It is necessary in this zone district to provide development standards specifically prescribed for each development proposal or project to achieve the purposes prescribed in section 12-1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses, which are intended to be incidental and secondary to the residential uses of the district. The housing district is intended to ensure that employee housing permitted in the zone district is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses. Cascade Apartments 16 The site is proposed to be zoned Housing zone district, which creates a unique opportunity for community housing, in furtherance of the goal of the Town of Vail to provide deed -restricted housing for 30% of the workforce and create 1,000 deed restricted units by 2027. This site is within the Town of Vail boundaries, adjacent to established transportation routes, including a Town of Vail transit stop and in close proximity to the recreation path. The Housing zone district allows the Planning and Environmental Commission to set most development standards, creating flexibility to create a housing project that is suitable to the individual site. As a result, the proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the H zone district. (7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate APPLICANT RESPONSE: The property was annexed into the Town of Vail in 1975 and is currently zoned Agricultural and Open Space. Owned originally by the American Mission Lutheran Church, it was purchased by the Cascade Club in 1984, but never included within the Cascade SDD. Though little information exists within the Town's legal files, the tennis courts appear to have been constructed in the mid-1980s. The demand for tennis has reduced significantly in the Town and the nation since the 1980s. The Town has seen numerous conversions of tennis court facilities throughout the community due to lack interest in tennis and its seasonal use. Also since the 1980s the Vail Recreation District has built significant tennis facilities at Ford Park. V f ,tel' Undated site plan of the tennis courts from the Town's legal files. Cascade Apartments 17 Recognizing that the community housing needs of the Town have changed dramatically since the 1970s, the new zoning of Housing allows for the development of community housing on the site. As a result, the proposal is consistent with this criterion. (8) Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. APPLICANT RESPONSE: Any other factors can be addressed as necessary. Cascade Apartments 18 Criteria for Review: Vail Land Use Plan Amendment Section VIII.3.0 provides the process for amending the Vail Land Use Plan. This section provides the following: C.

Such decisions may include approval, approval with conditions or denial. Amendments may be requested for change to the goals and policies and/or Land Use Plan map. If such request is approved, such change shall be made to the Plan document and/or map. If such request is denied, no such request that is substantially the some as that previously denied shall be considered for a period of one year. The criteria are indicated in the bolded text and the applicant's responses are provided below: 1. How the Plan is in error or how conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The "Park" designation refers to properties in this designation as being "town -owned." The Vail Land Use Plan is in error as the property is privately owned, rather than "town -owned." As identified previously, when the Vail Land Use Plan was adopted in 1986, the mapping was less sophisticated than today's GIS allows for. Information was not readily available on a parcel by parcel basis and the Land Use Plan mapping was at a much more generalized scale. This property was not owned by the Town of Vail and has never been in public ownership. Furthermore, conditions have substantially changed since the plan was adopted in 1986. While the Town has historically had problems identifying appropriate sites for community or employee housing, the challenges faced currently are unprecedented. The changes to the housing market since 1986 include innovations in short-term rental methodology, such as VRBO and Airbnb, which severely impacted the long-term rental market. Redevelopment of older homes, which previously helped to serve the local housing demand, has trended towards high- end, second home development. Cascade Apartments 19 The Vail Land Use Plan is both in error and conditions have substantially changed since its adoption and therefore a change is land designation are warranted. The proposed change to the Vail Land Use Plan is limited to a change in land use designation for the subject property - amending the designation from "Park" to the High Density Residential designation, which states: HDR - High Density Residential The housing in this category would typically consist of multi -floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institution /public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The HDR land use designation is the best suited land use designation, as the proposed density of the future proposed project will exceed 15 units per acre and the description of HDR more accurately reflects the proposed development with "multi -floored structures." The property directly across the Gore Creek stream tract is also designated as HDR and therefore having this site similarly designated allows it to not stand out as an isolated parcel with a different designation. The proposed designation is consistent with the designations within the adjacent neighborhood. 2. How the Plan is in error or how the addition, deletion or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The High Density Residential land use designation is the best suited land use designation, as the proposed density of the project exceeds 15 units per acre and the description of HDR more accurately reflects the proposed development. Community housing has been a high priority of the Vail Land Use Plan and the need for housing has only been exacerbated since its adoption in 1986. The Vail Land Use Plan provides the following Goals and Objectives: 1. General Growth / Development 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. 1.2. The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7. New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. Cascade Apartments 20 1. 12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1. 13. Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 5. Residential 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. As indicated throughout this submittal, the proposed Vail Land Use Plan amendment, in concert with the rezoning to Housing zone district, furthers these goals and objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan.

Kurt Segerberg of Segerberg Mayhew & Associates, representing the applicant gives a short explanation of the proposal. He points out variances granted in the area and what the specific variances were granted for. Kurz mentions to Spence that this may be the easiest way to add another room and the only thing holding them back is site coverage. Spence adds that it may be the easiest but does not meet the specified requirements. Kjesbo asks for a clarification on what is counted as site coverage and if this deck counts or not. Spence answers that the deck does not count as site coverage, but if it had been a roof it would have been site coverage. No public comment. Rollie Kjesbo moved to deny.
