Halloran. Finance Director
Action Requested of Council: Listen to presentation and ask questions.

help identify community issues and concerns, and provide analysis of similar regulations in peer
resort areas. Multiple public meetings were hosted, and a large amount of public input was
gathered and reported back to Council. Below is a quick recap of initial findings and peer resort
comparison, along with recommendations from the consultants.
Staff Recommendation: Provide feedback and direction to staff.
Robson provided a brief introduction to the topic by stating all resort communities are regulating
short term rentals and tonight’s discussion about what peers are doing and where Vail falls
within those groups with fees, regulations, and enforcement.
Halloran spoke with council the town’s current licensing process and ordinance.
August 17, 2021 - Page 29 of 286

owners who short term rent their property to are required obtain an STR registration at
an annual cost of $150.
For properties with an offsite professional property manager the fee is $10 per unit.
For properties with an onsite 24/7 manager, the fee is $5 per unit.
Halloran reviewed the charts and studies that were included in their council packets: There were
2,163 approved STR registrations in Vail. Of those, 1,043 are STRs with no front desk and are
not fractional units. About 12% of these are in outlying residential neighborhoods. Registration
compliance is about 90%. Halloran noted STR’s could be impacting long-term rentals.
Langmaid and Bruno suggested suspending new registrations for certain short-term rentals for a
short period of time to better understand the impacts and how to address them.
Council directed the town attorney to draft an ordinance for consideration at the July 20 meeting
that would suspend new registrations for short-term rentals in residential zone districts for a
short time.

Staff Recommendation: Authorize the Town Manager to negotiate with 106 West Logistics on a
contract price to implement a six-month load and deliver project in Vail Village during the ski
season of 2021/2022.
Robson provided a quick introduction to the topic stating he had convened an internal task force
to address a broad range of issues. Tonight, staff is seeking permission to negotiate with 106
West Logistics on a contract to implement a 6-month pilot program to be take place this winter
with support from Vail Mountain.
Kenney stated the pilot would involve complex logistical details and new technology to improve
coordination by directing trucks to nearby loading docks and using other forms of transportation
for "last mile" delivery. This would be the only ski town in North America to have such a
program.
Council thanked Commander Kenney and acknowledged the need to implement the pilot
program.
Coggin made a motion to authorize the Town Manager to negotiate with 106 West Logistics on
a contract price to implement a six-month load and deliver project in Vail Village during the ski
season of 2021/2022; Foley seconded the motion passed (6-0*Bruno absent at 7:05pm)
7. Public Hearings
7.1. Ordinance No. 13, Series 2021, Second Reading, An Ordinance Making
Adjustments to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Housing Fund,
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Marketing Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund, Dispatch
Services Fund, and Residences at Main Vail Fund.
Presenter(s): Carlie Smith, Financial Services Manager
Action Requested of Council: Approve or approve with amendments Ordinance No. 13, Series
2021 upon second reading.
Background: Please see attached memo.
Staff Recommendation: Approve or approve with amendments Ordinance No. 13, Series 2021
upon second reading.
Smith reviewed the changes made to Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2021 since the first reading.
General Fund: Staff proposed to increase budgeted sales tax collections by another $500,000,
amending the 2021 sales tax budget by a total of $5.0M. Smith stated that the Vail Interfaith
Chapel had requested a historical and cultural contribution of $21,150 for their new Pioneers of
Vail program.
Capital Projects Fund: Staff proposed to increase the construction use tax revenue budget by
an additional $250,000, amending the 2021 use tax budget to $3.25M. Construction use tax
collections. Additional increases to the Capital Fund included:
August 17, 2021 - Page 31 of 286
Town Council Meeting Minutes of July 6, 2021 Page 7
increase expenditures by $250,000 for the remodel of the town’s Council Chambers.
through June total $2.4M.
include $100,000 for design and surveying expenditures for new parking area in West
Vail and/or the surface lot north of the Vail Resorts maintenance area.
$20,000 placeholder in the Capital Projects Fund for a memorial honoring Pepi
Gramshammer
$1.5M transfer to the Residences at Main Vail Fund.
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund: Staff proposed to increase budgeted Real Estate Transfer Tax
(RETT) collections by $1.0M, amending the 2021 budget to $8.0M. RETT collections through
June 30th total $5.3M and are tracking 117.9% up from 2020 and 78.9% up from 2019. Smith
noted an amended budget of $8.0M was a 23% decrease from actual 2020 RETT collections.
Residences at Main Vail Fund: The operation, construction, and financing of this project would
be accounted for in a similar manner as the Timber Ridge Apartments, as its own enterprise
fund. This supplemental reflected the creation of this new fund and appropriates a placeholder
of $24.5 million for the construction of the project. In addition, budgeted revenues include
$24.5M in bond proceeds and a $1.5M transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to cover the
initial phase of construction prior to the availability of the bond proceeds. Final debt terms and
an ordinance approving the debt will be presented at the July 20th meeting. Any adjustments to
the budget will be reflected in the 3rd supplemental in December.
There was no public comment.
Council thanked staff for their hard work.
Foley made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2021; Stockmar seconded the
motion passed (6-0* Bruno absent).
There being no further business to come before the council, Foley moved to adjourn the
meeting; Coggin seconded the motion which passed (6-0*Bruno abesent) and the meeting
adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

7. Action Items
7.1. Request for an Easement on Town of Vail Stream Tract - Sonnenalp Properties
Presenter(s): Erik Gates, Planner and Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer
Action Requested of Council: The Community Development Department requests that the Town
Council evaluate the proposal to enter into an easement agreement allowing the usage of Town
of Vail property and Stream Tract for a grease interceptor servicing the Sonnenalp lower
kitchen.
Background: During the renovation of the Sonnenalp lower-level kitchen, it was discovered that
a grease interceptor had never been installed for this kitchen. The applicant designed and
installed a new grease interceptor on the south side of the building that was mistakenly believed
to be entirely within the Sonnenalp property. This was done without receiving a building permit
for the improvement. It has since been confirmed that this grease interceptor was installed
partially on Town of Vail Stream Tract property.
Staff Recommendation: The Community Development and Public Works Departments
recommend that the Town Council deny this easement request. Should the Vail Town Council
choose to deny this request, Staff would also recommend that the Town Council request a date
of the applicant to have the grease interceptor removed from Town property.
Gates provided council with a quick description of Sonnenalp Properties request stating the
owner of the Sonnenalp, was requesting an easement for use of Town of Vail Stream Tract
property for a grease interceptor that was installed prior to receiving a building permit. The
applicant requested permission to enter into an easement agreement with the Town of Vail for
the improvement and permanent use of Town of Vail property. During the renovation of the
lower-level kitchen, it was discovered that a grease interceptor had never been installed for this
kitchen. In an effort to correct the issue, the applicant designed and installed a new grease
interceptor on the south side of the building that was mistakenly believed to be entirely within
the Sonnenalp property. This was done without receiving a building permit for the improvement.
Following the installation of this grease interceptor, Eagle River Water and Sanitation
District contacted Town Staff to inform us that the interceptor appeared to be very
August 17, 2021 - Page 36 of 286
Town Council Meeting Minutes of July 20, 2021 Page 4
close, if not inside, the Stream Tract.
Johannes Faessler, Sonnenalp Properties owner, stated the grease interceptor was built in
good faith based on earlier survey markers which were 2 feet off.
Coggin asked if a land swap would be appropriate.
Bruno acknowledged the stream tract was important to maintain but asked if the grease
interceptor could stay where it is currently located until the end of the season to be less
impactful to the business.
Langmaid would like to see it be relocated in late fall.
Kassmel recommended October 31st as a deadline to relocate the grease interceptor.
There was no public comment.
Matt Mire, Town Attorney, stated the land swap would be difficult, but suggested an easement
and revocable license would be the correct way to move forward.
Chapin felt a land swap was setting a dangerous precedence.
Bruno made a motion to enter into an easement and revocable license agreement; Foley
seconded the motion passed (5-2 Coggin and Stockmar opposed)
7.2. Ordinance No. 15, Series 2021, an Emergency Ordinance suspending new
registrations for certain short-term rentals in the Town of Vail through
October 19, 2021.
Presenter(s): Scott Robson, Town Manager; Matt Gennett, Community Development Director
and Matt Mire, Town Attorney
Action Requested of Council: Approve, amend or deny Ordinance No. 15, Series 2021.
Background: Please see attached memorandum and attachments.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, amend or deny Ordinance No. 15, Series 2021
Robson presented an overview of emergency Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2021 stating the
ordinance would be a 90-day "time-out" in outlying neighborhoods while excluding the
commercial core areas, which would allow for a comprehensive study on the matter.
Public comment was called.
Bart Cumo, property manager, stated suspending STR would not solve local housing crisis.
Gregory Strong, owner of Vail Property Brokerage, stated he supports an impact study, but felt
a suspension would be a bad idea for Vail's brand and reputation.
August 17, 2021 - Page 37 of 286
Town Council Meeting Minutes of July 20, 2021 Page 5
Mary Galloway, a long-time property owner, stated a suspension on new STR registrations
would be a regulatory taking. She also felt it would be unfair to exempt some properties.
Crissy Rumford, a local real estate broker, stated there are 68 active or pending property listings
in the zone that would be impacted by a suspension which would be unfair. Additionally, she
questioned if this was interfering with property owners’ rights.
Alex Brown, an Intermountain resident, stated his family had been able to afford to live in Vail as
a result of income from STR.
DeDe Dickinson, realtor of Vail Valley, suggested a tiered approach to increase the registration
fee for STRs and to grandfather current STRs.
Tiffany McCracken, local realtor, felt property rights would be violated by a suspension on
STRs. She supported a review of increasing registration fees and to conduct a study without a
suspension
Bentley Biggar suggested moving forward with a study on the impacts of STRs without a
suspension.
William Francis, New York resident currently under contract to buy on a home in East Vail to
use as a STR, explaining how a suspension would impact his purchase intentions and
requested council not suspend STRs and to be cautious.
Public comment was closed.
Langmaid didn’t want to penalize properties that are currently under contract asked if there was
a way to exclude those properties.
Mire stated the town could exempt properties that provide appropriate paperwork.
Bruno suggested it might be more appropriate to act on the study as soon as possible without
any suspension at this time.
Stockmar suggested it would be reasonable to take the 90-day time out on new registrations.
Chapin stated long-term rentals and long-term residents had been lost to STR based on
observations from his neighborhood. He stated a suspension was not a taking. He suggested the
town re-evaluate STR policies on an annual basis.
Mason stated the registration fee needed to be increased and changes needed to occur in the
next 90 days.
Coggin shared he occasionally short-term rented his condo and stated a study should result in
an economically driven outcome. He didn’t support a suspension.
Foley stated he would not support the suspension.
August 17, 2021 - Page 38 of 286
Town Council Meeting Minutes of July 20, 2021 Page 6
Langmaid made a motion to adopt the emergency ordinance with additional exemptions of
primary residences and all properties currently under fully executed real estate contracts;
Stockmar seconded the motion failed (2-5*Chapin, Bruno, Mason, Coggin and Foley opposed).
8. Public Hearings
8.1. Ordinance No. 14, Series 2021, Second reading, An Ordinance Authorizing the
Transfer of Certain Property in the Town's Right-of-Way for West Forest Road in the
Exchange for Alternate Property, and Approving the Associated Exchange Agreement, all
to Accommodate Construction of Two Residences at 816 West Forest Road
Presenter(s): Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer
Action Requested of Council: Approve, approve with amendments or deny Ordinance No. 14,
Series 2021 upon second reading.
Background: The Developer at 816 and 826 West Forest Road has requested a land swap
between the Town of Vail's West Forest Road Right of Way and a portion of 816 and 826 West
Forest Road property. The land swap would allow the developer to more easily access their
property at 816 and 826 West Forest Road, an extremely steep lot with limited access
opportunities.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, approve with amendments or deny Ordinance No. 14, Series
2021 upon second reading
Kassmel reviewed Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2021 with council stating there were no changes
since the first reading.
Coggin made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2021 upon second reading;
Bruno seconded the motion passed (7-0).
There being no further business to come before the council, Foley moved to adjourn the
meeting; Stockmar seconded the motion which passed (7-0) and the meeting adjourned at 8:21
p.m.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission and County Commissioners:
On July 6, the Vail Town Council was provided an update from Chris Lindley and Craig Cohn on
Vail Health’s proposed Edwards Northstar Center PUD Amendment application that is before
you. While we know you will deliver a very thorough review of this land use application that is
not in our jurisdiction and thus we won’t opine on the details therein, we did want to offer our
support for this desperately needed facility in the heart of the Eagle River Valley.
Vail Health has long been a tremendous community partner to Vail, and we have appreciated
their bringing an upgraded hospital facility to fruition and working with their most immediate
residential neighbors. We also recognize the behavioral health crisis that we’re in, especially
among our adolescents across our county, and that Vail residents are and will be patients
needing to utilize the services and expertise at the Edwards Community Health campus and
including the new behavioral health facility.
We did express our desire to ensure adequate housing is provided to ensure a properly staffed
facility as both the County and the Town of Vail pursue opportunities to address our respective
housing crisis as well.
Again, we appreciate your thorough review of this PUD application, and we look forward to
seeing enhanced behavioral health care come to fruition, as well.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL
Dave Chapin
Mayor of Vail

Exhibit A - C C4C A Policy Statement
August 17, 2021 - Page 42 of 286
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Environmental Sustainability Department
DATE: August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 35, Series of 2021, a resolution adopting the Colorado Communities for
Climate Action Policy Statement for 2021-2022 and setting forth details in regard thereto.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to present for adoption Resolution No.35, Series of 2021,
adopting the Colorado Communities for Climate Action (CC4CA) Policy Statement for 2021-
2022.
II. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail has been a member of Colorado Communities for Climate Action (CC4CA) in
since its inception in 2018, and a founding member of its original efforts of the Colorado Climate
Network since 2012. As a member, the town has had the opportunity to weigh-in on the
development of the CC4CA Policy Statement, which is updated on an annual basis to adjust the
policy positions of the organization. CC4CA’s latest Policy Statement update reflects unanimous
agreement among the coalition members on steps that should be taken at the state and federal
level, often in partnership with local governments, to enable Colorado and its communities to lead
in protecting the climate.
The proposed statements were developed through CC4CA committees, which solicited input from
every member jurisdiction and then prepared updates to reflect that input. The Town of Vail
participated and provided input in these discussions.
CC4CA held its all-member annual retreat to review and finalize the Policy Statement in June
2021. The retreat, and the many months of work by CC4CA's Policy Committee and Board of
Directors (on which every member jurisdiction is represented) prior to the retreat, provided the
opportunity for all members to share input on each of the policy positions and the statements were
modified accordingly. CC4CA members contributed significant time in finalizing the proposed
statement based on the input of all member Councils and Boards and to gain the approval of all
members present at the retreat. At this time, all members of CC4CA are asked to formally ratify the
updated Policy Statement.
Most of the updates are non-substantive, and none of the substantive updates significantly alter
any positions from the 2020 Policy Statement adopted by the Vail Town Council. The updates
include:
• Add a new item on solid waste, wastewater, and agricultural waste (which will now
be Policy Position #24):
o 24. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from water treatment, wastewater
treatment, solid waste, and agricultural activities.
• Add a new item on water conservation (which will now be Policy Position #28):
o 28. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience associated August 17, 2021 - Page 43 of 286
Town of Vail Page 2
with water management through water conservation, efficiency, reuse,
adaptation and low impact development strategies.
All of the other proposed changes are for grammatical purposes, to improve clarity, or maintain
clarity when removing the explanatory text.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Vail Town Council approve Resolution No. 35, Series of 2020.

Effective July 1, 2021
Adopted by the Board of Directors June 4, 2021
Colorado Communities for Climate Action is a coalition of local governments advocating for
stronger state and federal climate policy. CC4CA’s policy positions reflect unanimous
agreement among the coalition members on steps that should be taken at the state and federal
level, often in partnership with local governments, to enable Colorado and its communities to
lead in protecting the climate.
CC4CA generally focuses on legislative, regulatory, and administrative action, supporting
efforts that advance the general policy principles and the detailed policy positions described
below, and opposing efforts that would weaken or undermine these principles and positions.
General Policy Principles
The following general principles guide Colorado Communities for Climate Action's specific
policy positions. CC4CA supports:
• Collaboration between state and federal government agencies and Colorado’s local
governments to advance local climate protection and resilience.
• State and federal programs to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, including adequate and
ongoing funding of those programs.
• Analyses, financial incentives, infrastructure, and enabling policies for the
development and deployment of clean energy technologies.
• Locally driven and designed programs to support communities impacted by the clean
energy transformation.
• Prioritizing policies that put equity at the center of decision-making by addressing
systemic environmental and governance inequities based on race and socioeconomic
status and by justly transitioning and growing the clean economy.

homes on Lot 3, Middle Creek with Triumph Development participating as a fee-based

Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety
August 17, 2021 - Page 66 of 286
To: Town Council
From: Gregg Barrie, Department of Public Works
Date: August 17, 2021
Subject: Information Update on Efforts to Improve Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update to the Council on recent efforts
to improve safety and reduce conflict between bicycles, pedestrians, and other
recreationalists in Vail and Lionshead Villages, on recreation trails and on roadways
throughout Vail.
II. BACKGROUND
Vail has been a busy destination during the summer of 2021. On any given day of the
week, the parking structures are near-full, the Villages are bustling, and the multi-use
trails hold a near-constant stream of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Even Frontage Road
bike lanes are busy. The congestion, coupled with variations in speed, age and user-
ability has created concerns over safety and visitor comfort in many places around town.
III. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY GROUP
With an understanding of the need to improve the situation, a group of twelve town staff
members as well as two Village bike shop owners convened to discuss solutions. The
group included staff from public works/engineering, police, the bus department,
environmental, special events and community information.
The discussion centered around a few key concepts:
• The idea that one solution will not likely solve the problem. The group discussed
numerous focused actions that can help make the situation better.
• The understanding that people visit Vail for many different reasons. It’s important
to accommodate those various reasons and to provide multiple, safe recreation
opportunities
• The recognition to consider local residents and commuters when working towards
solutions
• Importantly, the business owners of the group showed a willingness to be part of
the solution through education with bike rentals.

IV. ACTION ITEMS
The attached document, titled Synopsis of Action Items to Improve Bike/Pedestrian
Safety in Vail is in Draft form. It is provided as information. Staff anticipates that some of
these items can be implemented immediately, and some will take more time.
Some items, such as improved etiquette signage along the recreation trails and improved
education with bike shops can be prepared over the winter and ready for implementation
for the 2022 summer season. The Communications Department is already collecting
photo and video media to be used in an education campaign for next summer. And some
items such as an ordinance to address temporary dismount zone enforcement will likely
be developed in the coming weeks.
In addition, staff is working to implement a Dismount Zone on Bridge Street between
Slifer Square and Seibert Circle for the duration of the 2021 summer/fall season. This
information will be communicated to bike shops and in a press release.
Staff may request to budget funds for some of these items in the upcoming 2022 Budget
process. Items will be presented to Council as needed and as they are developed.
V. ACTION REQUESTED BY COUNCIL
No action is requested at this time. This information is being provided as an Information
Update.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
There is no staff recommendation on this item.

allow for enforcement
• Address electric scooters
• 5 mph speed limits in Ped Areas (would have to be posted)
Other issues raised
• Restaurant tables and merchant racks are reducing space in Villages

Residences at Main Vail Development Schedule 08172021
August 17, 2021 - Page 71 of 286
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: August 17, 2021
Subject: Residences at Main Vail – Project Schedule – August 17 to November 2, 2021
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this agenda item is to present the summary of the project schedule, including key
dates and tasks to be completed, between August 16 and November 2, 2021.
2. BACKGROUND
The Vail Town Council wishes to complete a 100% deed-restricted, for-rent, residential
development on Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision. To that end, a number of critical path steps
have been completed to ensure that outcome is a reality. Pursuant to a project management
agreement with Triumph Development, the entitlement process granting approvals to develop
the Residences at Main Vail was completed on August 3, 2021. The Town’s total investment in
that process was $668,000. (-$22,000)
3. SUMMARY OF KEY DATES AND TASKS
A sequenced approach to the development of the Residences at Main Vail has been prepared.
In sum, the two sequenced phases will include a first phase of demolition, site work and shoring
occurring from October 11 through December 17, 2021 and a second phase restarting on or
about March 14, 2022, weather permitting, and will be completed by May 30, 2023. The
advantages to this approach include:
• allows for construction to begin in the fall of 2021.
• puts a pause in place during the winter months to avoid unnecessary costs of
construction due to winter conditions.
• initiates the pouring of concrete to occur in more favorable weather conditions.
• reduces the building permit issuance process into only two phases (1. demolition/site
work and 2. vertical construction).
• enables the Town to issue debt during a time of historically low interest rates.
• delivers 72 new homes in time for the 2023 summer season.
A project schedule highlighting key dates and task list has been prepared to facilitate the next
steps in the development sequence of the Residences at Main Vail. The following information
highlights the tasks to be completed between August 16 and November 2, 2021:
August 17, 2021 - Page 72 of 286
Town of Vail Page 2
• August 16 – Triumph Development to submit complete site demolition, site excavation
and shoring plan package to Town of Vail for review and approval.
• August 17 - Execute an amended professional services agreement between the Town of
Vail and Triumph Development identifying an updated scope of work, schedule for
completion and associated costs.
• August 26 – Final design development cost estimate due to the Town of Vail from
Triumph Development.
• September 3 – Triumph Development to submit full building permit plan package to
Town of Vail for review and approval.
• September 7 – Vail Town Council to review final design development cost estimate from
Triumph Development and consider ordinance authorizing the Town of Vail to incur up to
$25M in debt.
• October 4 – Children’s Garden of Learning slated for completion.
• October 5 – Vail Town Council to consider a resolution approving the final development
agreement between the Town of Vail and Triumph Development for the construction of
the Residences at Main Vail.
• October 11 – Triumph Development to begin first phase of construction of Residences at
Main Vail, including demolition, site excavation and shoring. Work to continue through
December 17.
• Final building permit to be issued on or before November 1.
The following deal points and terms highlight a future development deal structure:
• Total Project Development Cost – $24.4M (estimated)
• Ownership of the Fee Title– Town of Vail
• Ownership of the Improvements – Town of Vail
• Financing – 100% Town of Vail Tax Exempt Bonds
• Financing Term – 30-year amortization
• Interest Rate – 1.26% to 1.88%, depending on length of term
• Developer Fee - 6% of total project development cost
• Property Management/Operating Agreement – 4% of gross rental income
• Opportunity Cost - $3.5M
• Project Start/Completion – October 11, 2021 to May 30, 2023
This alternate approach has many likely trade-offs for the Town Council’s consideration and
evaluation. The trade-offs include:
• The Town maintains control over the land and the improvements
• Net income from the development may be an additional source of funding for future
housing programs, initiatives, and developments
• The Town controls the management and operations of the property through its
property manager
• The low cost of financing benefits the cash flow projection model
• There is existing bonding capacity for the Town to take on new debt
• Revenues from the development can service the debt
• Master leasing and other forms of private business use activity are likely to frustrate
the terms of tax-exempt financing requirements
• As owner, the Town assumes responsibility for the development of the site including
contracting, financing, construction documentation, project administration and
oversight, budgeting, schedule, etc. (i.e. development risk/liability)
August 17, 2021 - Page 73 of 286
Town of Vail Page 3
• Triumph Development will likely request a buy-out from the Town
• A shift in development deal structure negatively impacts the original construction
schedule.
• Requires ongoing operating and management of the improvements (i.e. Timber Ridge
Operating Committee)
• Increases the Town’s development risk by increasing involvement and responsibilities
in the overall development process
• Creates an additional real estate asset for the Town
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The parties have verbally acknowledged general acceptance of a development deal structure
for the Residences at Main Vail development. While deemed generally acceptable, it is
mutually acknowledged neither party has reviewed a final development agreement document.
The consideration of the final development agreement is set for review by the Vail Town Council
on Tuesday, October 5.
Town staff recommends the Vail Town Council acknowledges acceptance of the highlighted
sequenced approach to construction. With acceptance from Town Council, the sequenced
approach to construction will be incorporated into the proposed final construction schedule,
budget and development agreement.

From: Town Manager’s Office, Economic Development Director, Housing Director,
Communications Director, Finance Director, Magellan Strategies
Date: August 17, 2021
Subject: Discussion about Proposed Tax Measures for November Ballot as Dedicated
Funding for Housing and Year-Round Marketing/Special Events Initiatives
I. SUMMARY
The Town Council is asked to discuss the direction they would like to take regarding the
submittal of ballot questions for the November election addressing dedicated funding sources
for two initiatives, housing, and year-round marketing/special events. The Town would need to
certify ballot questions to the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder’s Office no later than September
3. The Town Council is asked to review and approve the ballot text with resolutions if the
decision is made to proceed with asking the voters about the measures at the November
election. Council is asked to consider making the decision that evening to meet the ballot
certification deadline or indicate the need for a special meeting prior to September 3 if further
discussion is warranted. The Town Council would consider the sales tax increase question and
the Vail Local Marketing District would consider the marketing and promotion tax increase
question.
II. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail engaged Magellan Strategies and Summit Information Services to assist in
facilitating community outreach meetings to gather feedback and opinions about the town’s
housing and marketing efforts as well as opportunities to address additional funding sources.
Initial findings were presented to Town Council on June 1. The community outreach plan
implemented over the last few months has yielded important insights and opinions about the two
town initiatives on housing and year-round marketing. On August 3, Magellan Strategies
presented the results of a voter survey on the two ballot initiatives and on June 1, they
presented a summary of the input received from the initial outreach meetings.
III. DISCUSSION UPDATE FROM AUGUST 3, 2021
Council directed staff to return at the August 17 meeting with resolutions and ballot text for the
two measures initially outlined for voters. In addition, during the August 3 meeting, there was a
proposal supported by council members to consider a third ballot measure that would ask voters
to impose a new tax on lodging rooms that would generate revenues to pay for housing
programs and initiatives. The suggested lodging tax rate to be included in the ballot question is
1.6%. Details of this new concept are included below. Sample draft ballot language is also
included in Attachment One.

Town of Vail Page 2
IV. BALLOT MEASURES CONSIDERATIONS AND FEEDBACK
Housing
A dedicated source of funding for housing programs, developments and initiatives has been
recommended. Two proposals for generating a dedicated revenue sources are outlined below:
A. Sales Tax (Resolution No. 36; proposed Ballot Issue No. 1)
▪ The sales tax proposal includes an increase of 0.5% in the town's sales tax (from 4.0% to
4.5%) and would apply to both local residents and guests when purchasing goods and
services in Vail.
▪ Per $100 purchase, this incremental tax increase would cost guests and residents 50 cents.
▪ The proposal exempts collecting the increased tax rate on food for home consumption.
▪ It is estimated that a .05 cent additional tax rate would generate approximately $4.3 million
per year to invest in housing programs, developments and initiatives. While this amount will
alone will not solve the housing crisis, it will go a long way when combined with other
funding solutions such as a future fee on short term rentals, public-private partnerships,
construction mitigation and commercial and residential linkage fees, to name a few.
▪ Funds collected from the increase in sales tax could be invested in town and down valley.
▪ The online voter opinion survey provided data measuring support for the ballot measure at
52% before being informed why the measure is being proposed and how the funds would be
spent. After being informed, voter support for the sales tax question increased to 57%.
Magellan Strategies reported to Council on August 3 the survey findings indicated a good
probability the housing ballot measure would be approved by Vail voters.
▪ Voters in support of the housing ballot measure voiced overwhelming sentiment that “access
to housing is at a crisis and caused by the growth of short-term rentals; locals are being
driven out of the housing market and out of the Vail community; and their quality of life being
seriously at risk”.
▪ Voter in opposition to the ballot measure held the viewpoints that “short term rentals users
and part-time homeowners should be taxed directly rather than increasing the sales tax
which hurts locals; increase wages first and require housing to be provided by employers;
and current tax burden is too high already”. Other sentiment included taxing locals to pay for
housing is burdensome with the increase in cost of living, and in particular childcare.
▪ Voter approval of the housing ballot measure would require a robust and thorough campaign
that educates and informs voters of how the funds would be used to address housing. Voter
approval would also be more likely if there is unanimous support from Council.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies recommend asking Vail voters to increase the sales
tax to be used as a dedicated funding source for housing considering the favorable
results from the online voter opinion survey.
August 17, 2021 - Page 78 of 286
Town of Vail Page 3
B. Lodging Tax (Resolution No. 37; proposed Ballot Issue No. 3)
▪ The newly proposed lodging tax would levy 1.6% of the total purchase price paid and
impacts overnight guests staying in Vail’s lodging.
▪ It is estimated that a 1.6% new lodging tax would generate $4.5 million per year. For a room
night cost of $500, this would increase the price paid by $8.
▪ A significant disadvantage of moving forward with this ballot measure is that questions were
not included as part of the online voter opinion survey of and there is no knowledge of what
level of support the question would get.
▪ The imposition of a new tax on the lodging industry was not supported by the Vail Economic
Advisory Council members (discussed at their Tuesday, August 10 meeting) because only
one segment of the business community would be impacted.
▪ Raising taxes on lodging would circumvent a separate increase (or later ballot question) in
lodging taxes for the purposes of year-round marketing and special events.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies do not support asking Vail voters to impose a new
tax on lodging to be used as a dedicated funding source for housing because the ballot
measure has not been tested in a voter opinion survey or discussed in-depth with
lodging and business community groups. Even mild opposition to this ballot measure or
less than enthusiastic support from these communities would decrease the probability of
voter approval.
Year-round Marketing/Special Events
A dedicated source of funding for year-round marketing and special events has been
recommended. One proposal for generating additional revenue sources to achieve the
objectives of funding year-round marketing and events is outlined below. This tax is collected by
the Vail Local Marketing District and has specific statutory guidelines for its use, such as
1) funding the organization, promotion, marketing and management of public events, 2) funding
activities in support of business recruitment, management and development, 3) coordinating
tourism promotion activities.
A. Promotion and Marketing Tax (Vail Local Marketing District Resolution No. 4;
proposed Ballot Issue No. 2)
▪ The proposed change to the current lodging tax would levy an additional 2.2% of the total
purchase price paid and would impact overnight guests staying in Vail’s lodging. Total Vail
lodging tax would be increased from the current rate of 1.4% to 3.6%.
▪ It is estimated that the incremental 2.2% would generate $6.2 million per year. For a room
night cost of $500, this would increase the price paid by $11.
▪ The 2.2% tax increase on the lodging was supported by the VEAC members (discussed at
their Tuesday, August 10 meeting) noting the importance of long-term reliability of marketing
and special event dollars as well as the desire to focus on bringing the right guest at the
right time, not simply more guests.
August 17, 2021 - Page 79 of 286
Town of Vail Page 4
▪ The survey measured voter support for this ballot measure at 54% on the informed and
uninformed ballot questions.
▪ The probability of voter approval for the lodging tax increase is estimated at 50%,
considering likely voters are uninformed of an upcoming destination stewardship plan
designed to better manage visitation.
▪ Voter support for the ballot measure was primarily driven by the belief that more tourism
would generate a robust local economy, better job market, and funds for town services, and
the tax does not directly impact voters (residents).
▪ Voter opposition to the ballot measure included remarks such as: increasing the marketing
budget doesn’t make sense with housing and employee shortages at crisis levels; address
housing crisis before increasing marketing budget; and growing tourism will only accelerate
decline and erosion of the quality of life in Vail.
• The incremental increase in the revenue generated from the tax would help to cover the
costs for special event programs and which would free up funds to support core municipal
services (estimated $2.2 M), such as police and fire protection, public works and streets,
planning and building, transit and parking, and library services.
• Voter approval for this ballot initiative would require a very robust campaign effort that
included messaging educating voters of a forthcoming “visitor mitigation plan” that would
focus funding towards sustainably balancing the peaks and valleys of Vail’s tourism.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies recommend asking the Vail voters to increase the
promotion and marketing tax (aka lodging tax) to be used as a dedicated funding source
for year-round marketing and special events. Although there is a risk voters would reject
the ballot measure due to the negative impacts of increased tourism, the survey
measured a majority of 54% would approve the ballot measure. Council unity for this
ballot measure would also increase probability of voter approval.
Regardless of the final language adopted, the town staff recommends strong and robust
campaigns to help educate the community about the tax measures which propose dedicated
funding sources to be used for housing and marketing/special events.
V. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
The Town Council is asked to take formal action or no action on each of the resolutions
identified below. Note the Council would meet as the VLMD at the end of the regular evening
meeting to take formal action on VLMD Resolution No. 4.
• Resolution No. 36, Series 2021, Sales Tax Increase as Dedicated Funding Source for
Housing

spent. After being informed, voter support for the sales tax question increased to 57%.
Magellan Strategies reported to Council on August 3 the survey findings indicated a good
probability the housing ballot measure would be approved by Vail voters.
▪ Voters in support of the housing ballot measure voiced overwhelming sentiment that “access
to housing is at a crisis and caused by the growth of short-term rentals; locals are being
driven out of the housing market and out of the Vail community; and their quality of life being
seriously at risk”.
▪ Voter in opposition to the ballot measure held the viewpoints that “short term rentals users
and part-time homeowners should be taxed directly rather than increasing the sales tax
which hurts locals; increase wages first and require housing to be provided by employers;
and current tax burden is too high already”. Other sentiment included taxing locals to pay for
housing is burdensome with the increase in cost of living, and in particular childcare.
▪ Voter approval of the housing ballot measure would require a robust and thorough campaign
that educates and informs voters of how the funds would be used to address housing. Voter
approval would also be more likely if there is unanimous support from Council.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies recommend asking Vail voters to increase the sales
tax to be used as a dedicated funding source for housing considering the favorable
results from the online voter opinion survey.

B. Lodging Tax (Resolution No. 37; proposed Ballot Issue No. 3)
▪ The newly proposed lodging tax would levy 1.6% of the total purchase price paid and
impacts overnight guests staying in Vail’s lodging.
▪ It is estimated that a 1.6% new lodging tax would generate $4.5 million per year. For a room
night cost of $500, this would increase the price paid by $8.
▪ A significant disadvantage of moving forward with this ballot measure is that questions were
not included as part of the online voter opinion survey of and there is no knowledge of what
level of support the question would get.
▪ The imposition of a new tax on the lodging industry was not supported by the Vail Economic
Advisory Council members (discussed at their Tuesday, August 10 meeting) because only
one segment of the business community would be impacted.
▪ Raising taxes on lodging would circumvent a separate increase (or later ballot question) in
lodging taxes for the purposes of year-round marketing and special events.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies do not support asking Vail voters to impose a new
tax on lodging to be used as a dedicated funding source for housing because the ballot
measure has not been tested in a voter opinion survey or discussed in-depth with
lodging and business community groups. Even mild opposition to this ballot measure or
less than enthusiastic support from these communities would decrease the probability of
voter approval.
Year-round Marketing/Special Events
A dedicated source of funding for year-round marketing and special events has been
recommended. One proposal for generating additional revenue sources to achieve the
objectives of funding year-round marketing and events is outlined below. This tax is collected by
the Vail Local Marketing District and has specific statutory guidelines for its use, such as
1) funding the organization, promotion, marketing and management of public events, 2) funding
activities in support of business recruitment, management and development, 3) coordinating
tourism promotion activities.
A. Promotion and Marketing Tax (Vail Local Marketing District Resolution No. 4;
proposed Ballot Issue No. 2)
▪ The proposed change to the current lodging tax would levy an additional 2.2% of the total
purchase price paid and would impact overnight guests staying in Vail’s lodging. Total Vail
lodging tax would be increased from the current rate of 1.4% to 3.6%.
▪ It is estimated that the incremental 2.2% would generate $6.2 million per year. For a room
night cost of $500, this would increase the price paid by $11.
▪ The 2.2% tax increase on the lodging was supported by the VEAC members (discussed at
their Tuesday, August 10 meeting) noting the importance of long-term reliability of marketing
and special event dollars as well as the desire to focus on bringing the right guest at the
right time, not simply more guests.
August 17, 2021 - Page 85 of 286
Town of Vail Page 4
▪ The survey measured voter support for this ballot measure at 54% on the informed and
uninformed ballot questions.
▪ The probability of voter approval for the lodging tax increase is estimated at 50%,
considering likely voters are uninformed of an upcoming destination stewardship plan
designed to better manage visitation.
▪ Voter support for the ballot measure was primarily driven by the belief that more tourism
would generate a robust local economy, better job market, and funds for town services, and
the tax does not directly impact voters (residents).
▪ Voter opposition to the ballot measure included remarks such as: increasing the marketing
budget doesn’t make sense with housing and employee shortages at crisis levels; address
housing crisis before increasing marketing budget; and growing tourism will only accelerate
decline and erosion of the quality of life in Vail.
• The incremental increase in the revenue generated from the tax would help to cover the
costs for special event programs and which would free up funds to support core municipal
services (estimated $2.2 M), such as police and fire protection, public works and streets,
planning and building, transit and parking, and library services.
• Voter approval for this ballot initiative would require a very robust campaign effort that
included messaging educating voters of a forthcoming “visitor mitigation plan” that would
focus funding towards sustainably balancing the peaks and valleys of Vail’s tourism.
Town staff and Magellan Strategies recommend asking the Vail voters to increase the
promotion and marketing tax (aka lodging tax) to be used as a dedicated funding source
for year-round marketing and special events. Although there is a risk voters would reject
the ballot measure due to the negative impacts of increased tourism, the survey
measured a majority of 54% would approve the ballot measure. Council unity for this
ballot measure would also increase probability of voter approval.
Regardless of the final language adopted, the town staff recommends strong and robust
campaigns to help educate the community about the tax measures which propose dedicated
funding sources to be used for housing and marketing/special events.

Town of Vail Page 2
The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with m odifications, or deny Ordinance
No. 16, Series of 2021, upon first reading.
III. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant is requesting three amendments to the approved Special Development
District. The first change would be to create a phasing plan. Initially the development
was to be done at one time and the applicant now wishes to develop the property in two
phases. The second change is to amend the original conditions of approval. Some have
been completed, and others are no longer relevant. The third change is to extend the
approval period. The standard approval period is three years from approval of the SDD.
The applicant is requesting three years from approval of this amendment to begin
construction of phase 1 and five years from the approval to begin construction of phase
2.

F. Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2021
III. BACKGROUND
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.
Over time there have been multiple application for small remodels or exterior
alterations. Most recently was an exterior alteration that allowed for the restriping of the
parking lot, pool upgrades, and exterior facade upgrades to the building in 2016.
This application was 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. This application was scheduled to be heard on March 23rd but
was tabled to the April 13th meeting where the major exterior alteration was approved
and the rezoning and SDD application was recommended for approval to Town Council.
Town Council heard Ordinance No. 3 for the rezoning on June 2, 2020 and June 16,
2020 for the first and second reading, respectively. This application along with
Ordinance No. 4 for the creation of the SDD, which was heard at the same meetings
were passed by Town Council.
August 17, 2021 - Page 90 of 286
Town of Vail Page 3
The PEC heard an application for a minor subdivision on this property on March 8 th of
2020 and approved the plat. That plat, however, was not recorded and an adjustment to
the lot line was needed. For this reason, a subsequent minor subdivision application
was received. At the July 26th PEC meeting the conditional use permit for the
commercial spaces was approved as well as the latest minor subdivision application.
The PEC also recommended approval of the SDD amendment with a vote of 4-2 (Perez
and Pratt opposed). The opposed commissioners were concerned with the extended
approval timeline.
lV. REVIEW CRITERIA
Criteria: The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluation
the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the
applicant to demonstrate that the submittal material and the proposed development plan
comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is
not applicable or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
The proposed SDD amendment is generally compatible and sensitive to the immediate
environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties. The proposed phasing plan shows
that the phase one portion of the SDD will be able to be constructed in a way that will fit
into the current site without the full redevelopment constructed. This is an important
criteria for phased projects to ensure that the built environment will continue to function
for the time in-between phases. There are no design changes that would affect the
compatibility with the neighborhood or adjacent properties.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The SDD amendment does not propose a change in the use, or activity on the site.
Density in terms of residential use will be decreased with this application. In terms of
building density as site coverage, the application does not propose any new density that
has not already been approved.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
August 17, 2021 - Page 91 of 286
Town of Vail Page 4
The phasing of this project would put the EHU building construction before the hotel
addition. This would preserve the existing parking at the northwest of the site and
maintains enough parking for the existing hotel and the EHU building.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The application would be forwarding the Goal #4 of the Land Use and Development
section of the comprehensive plan if the employee housing building would be in addition
to required employee housing. The applicant is proposing to build this as a mitigation
bank so that future developments that are unable to build the necessary units on their
site can buy into the mitigation bank to satisfy their requirement. The application is
leaving two one-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units out of the bank as a true
benefit that cannot be credited towards another development. Having these additional
units puts the Town closer to achieving its goals for providing housing. This amendment
also proposes to build the EHU building prior to the hotel addition which provides the
most benefit in terms of timing.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
5. Natural and/or geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
There are steep slopes, hazardous rock fall, and debris flow that affect this property.
The applicant supplied a report on these hazards. The report states that a site specific
study would need to be completed for debris flow to suggest the needed mitigation for
the site, and that the rock fall hazard was low for this site. A site specific study for all
geologic hazards will be required prior to building permit.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
Phase two, which represents the completion of the project has been f ound to meet this
criterion with the original approval. The phase one plan has been found to also produce
a functional development. The EHU building will be set in the established location at the
rear of the site. This allows for access to the parking in the northwest of the project to be
maintained and allows appropriate spacing between the EHU building and the existing
hotel. The stairs to the east of the EHU building and the sidewalk along Chamonix Lane
August 17, 2021 - Page 92 of 286
Town of Vail Page 5
will be built with phase one, which allows the occupants of the of the EHU building to
have access to the parking lot to the south, to the bus stop to the east and provide a
walking path for occupants and other residents in the area along Chamonix Lane.
Conformance with zoning standards such as setbacks, height, snow storage and
landscaping are maintained with the phased approach to this project. Design features
for the buildings and how the phases align architecturally will be in the purview of the
Design Review Board when an application for their approval is submitted.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
Sufficient pedestrian access is maintained with this application. The sidewalk along
Chamonix Ln, will improve off-site circulation adjacent to the phase one development.
The stairs to the east of the EHU building will provide access for those residents to the
interior of the site. The interior sidewalks and striping will be included in phase two,
which will further improve safe pedestrian flow through the site.
Vehicular circulation is not significantly changing from the existing with the phase one
development. The most significant change from existing is the loss of parking along the
north where the EHU building will be built and the access to the parking in the northwest
of the site. Minimum drive aisles are maintained from the parking on the east that lead
to the parking on the northwest.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order
to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
The phase one landscaping includes three twelve-foot tall blue spruces in the plan. Two
are in the area between Chamonix Lane and the building. The PEC has asked in
previous meetings that vegetation be used to screen the building from the roadway, and
that appears to be the intent in the distribution of the trees in the front of the site.
Phase two landscaping takes a similar approach and proposes a majority of new
plantings between the hotel addition and the road, with a heavy screen along Chamonix
Lane.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
August 17, 2021 - Page 93 of 286
Town of Vail Page 6
The phasing plan for this SDD is workable and functional. As there are only two phases,
the primary focus is whether phase one fits in with the existing conditions before phase
two is built and completes the site. As previously stated, the EHU building and other
phase one improvements fit in with the existing conditions and will provide a workable
plan.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.

Introduction
Highline, a DoubleTree by Hilton (Highline hereafter), is requesting an application for an
amendment to the SDD for the Highline in order to:
clarify the phasing of the development, assigning certain improvements to the hotel
expansion (Lot 1) versus the workforce housing building (Lot 2);
clarifying some conditions of approval;
requesting an extension to the approval period for the SDD; and
correcting the SDD number assigned to the SDD.
The SDD for the Highline was approved on June 12, 2020, and included the following:
Expansion of the hotel with the addition of 79 hotel rooms and 19 limited service lodge
units (hotel rooms with kitchens) for a total of 195 hotel units approved onsite;

Highline SDD Amendment Requests
Phasing of the SDD:
During the original approval process it was anticipated that the Highline expansion and the
workforce housing structure would be developed at the same time and included a requirement
that the workforce housing building receive a CO before or simultaneously with the hotel.
Due to the lingering effects of Covid 19, including the inability to finance a hotel expansion, it
is uncertain when the hotel expansion will occur but is likely in the next 5 years but there is
interest in developing the 15 unit workforce housing building immediately. This is a positive
change, as the Town obtains the more significant public benefits of the project up front.
This concept was not reviewed as part of the original approval and therefore it was determined
by staff that a major amendment to the SDD is required to identify which of the improvements
would be necessary if the workforce housing building was developed first. Most of the
required improvements were generated by the expansion of the hotel, including the extensive
parking lot improvements, pedestrian improvements along Chamonix Road (west side of the
property), etc. It would not be appropriate to require these of the workforce housing building.
The applicant believes that only the following improvements should be required with the 15
unit workforce housing building located on Lot 2, Highline Subdivision (as shown on the
phasing plan):
All landscape improvements located on Lot 2 except as modified by phase 2 along the
south side where the future driveway is graded differently than the phase 1 driveway
resulting in a slightly different landscape treatment;
Sidewalk and parking improvements in front of the workforce housing building along
Chamonix Lane to the existing bus stop and to the intersection with Chamonix Road;
and
The stairs down to the parking lot from Chamonix Lane.
The final plat requires the 15 required parking spaces be accommodated on Lot 1 (one is
located along Chamonix Lane). There is excess parking available to accommodate this
parking. The plat will also establish the 6 ft. wide pedestrian easement along the east property
line of the entire site.
Additionally, prior to the expansion of the hotel, any improvements within the existing
structures located on the property may occur without the implementation of the full phase 2
plans. As an example, the conversion of the existing office space to the employee housing
dormitory may occur without the full improvements of phase 2 being triggered.

Conditions of Approval:
The following conditions were required as part of the original SDD approval. The applicant is
proposing revisions as outlined in underline and strikethrough. The changes proposed reflect
conditions that have already been satisfied and changes to clarify when certain improvements
are required.
1.Applicant shall obtain approval for subdivision before a certificate of occupancy for the
EHU building is granted. (this condition will be satisfied with the proposed final plat
which will be acted upon prior to Town Council approval of this SDD amendment)
2.The applicant shall obtain the certificate of occupancy for the EHU building before
requesting a certificate of occupancy for the hotel addition.
3.Approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of an associated
design review application.
4.The applicant shall obtain approval for a conditional use permit for the commercial space
on the first floor before a building permit is issued. (this condition will have already been
satisfied)
5.Applicant shall obtain approval from Holy Cross to vacate the easement under the
proposed hotel addition before a building permit is issued for the hotel addition.
6.Applicant shall set aside two (2) three-bedroom units and two (2) one-bedroom units in the
EHU building not to be included in the mitigation bank.
7.Prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for the EHU building, the applicant
shall record deed restrictions with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder, in a format
approved by the Town Attorney, for the Type III Employee Housing Units.
8.The applicant shall coordinate and resolve landscape conflicts with utilities and sight
distance before a building permit is issued. (This condition has been satisfied.)
9.The applicant shall show the drainage outfall for Chamonix Lane swale in the building
permit submittal. (This condition has been satisfied.)
10.The applicant shall provide a 2’ gravel shoulder along Chamonix Lane and side slopes of
swale no steeper than 2:1. (This condition has been satisfied.)
11.Applicant shall increase AIPP contribution to provide public art onsite with a value of at
least $32,500 and the installation of the public art shall be completed before a certificate of
occupancy for the hotel addition is granted.
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 7
August 17, 2021 - Page 104 of 286
12.Applicant shall correct plans to meet the comments from the Fire Department prior to the
submittal for a building permit. (This condition has been satisfied.)
13.Applicant shall update all plan pages to match the latest submission prior to the submittal
for the Design Review Board application for each phase of development.
Extension of Approval Period:
The current SDD development plan will expire on June 15, 2023. The applicant is requesting
that the approval period be extended an additional 3 years to June 15, 2026. This is due to
the lingering impacts of Covid 19 on the ability to finance a hotel expansion. The year 2020
ended up being a loss of a year to appropriately plan for and finance the project and this is
thus far also proving true for 2021. An extension for an additional 3 years should provide the
applicant with ample time to develop the entire project.
Correction of SDD Number:
Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2020, for the Highline SDD indicated that this SDD would be
numbered Special Development District No. 42. However, SDD No. 42 was already assigned
to the Vail Mountain View Residences SDD. The Highline SDD should therefore be numbered
as Special Development District No. 43.

Parking Management Plan - Phase 2
Below is the approved parking management plan for the Highline.
Parking Summary (completion of both phases):
Total parking provided: 208 spaces
Total parking proposed as required: 175
Total valet spaces: 111 (53.3% of total)
Total enclosed spaces: 48 (23% of total site, all of net new parking)
Total net new parking: 39 spaces
Garage parking spaces: 42 valet, 6 regular
Surface Parking spaces:
69 valet spaces
80 regular spaces
4 compact spaces
4 employee spaces (impacted by loading space used infrequently)
1 parallel space (plus one short term space)
2 spaces within the porte cochere
2 valet operation spaces (temporary car shuffling, not included in parking count)
Controlled Access Parking:
There are a total of 208 parking spaces provided onsite. Of these 208 parking spaces,
56 of them are located outside of the controlled access area. Within the controlled
access area, 32 spaces are capable of being self-parked where the guest or other user is
given access beyond the gate, however, the owner may decide to valet park all of the
spaces as necessary.
Hotel Guest Parking:
All hotel guest parking will be accommodated by valet or controlled gate access.
During peak winter season, all hotel guests may be valet parked at the discretion of the
owner.
EHU Units:
The 15 EHU Units require a total of 16 parking spaces. The parking for these units will
be located within the parking area with controlled access and in the parallel parking (1
parking space and 1 short term space) along Chamonix Lane.
EHU Dormitory:
The EHU dormitory will be targeted to employees of the hotel and those with limited
need for car ownership. It is anticipated that only 2 parking spaces will be necessary for
the dormitory. These parking spaces will either be accommodated within the valet
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 12
August 17, 2021 - Page 109 of 286
system or otherwise designated for the dormitory use. Since this dormitory is a rental
facility, the owner will be able to closely control number of occupants with vehicles as
documented in leases.
Retail and Restaurant Establishments:
The primary parking for the retail and restaurant facilities employees and customers,
other than hotel guests who are already parked, will be within the self parking spaces
provided outside of the controlled parking area. There are 56 parking spaces available
to patrons outside of the controlled parking area. Valet parking services will also be
provided to these customers as desired by the customer.
Meeting Room Space:
Parking for the meeting rooms will be primarily accommodated by the hotel parking
facilities, as these users are already parked within the facility. Users of the conference
space, other than hotel guests, will be parked via the hotel valet system.
Valet Operations:
The valet operation will require the shuffling around of cars within the exterior parking
lot and within the parking garage. For the exterior parking lot, two parking spaces, not
included in the total parking count, have been provided so that cars can be shuffled in
the parking lot without impairing the operation of the drive aisles.
Within the enclosed parking area, where the parking is only staked two cars deep, cars
will be parked temporarily within the drive aisle to perform the shuffling of cars.
The valet parking layout complies fully with Town Code.
Parking Lot Maintenance and Snow Removal:
The exterior parking lot will require snow removal and maintenance on a continuous
basis during the winter months. The hotel experiences high turnover of parking spaces
during the day as guests check out of the hotel in the morning and new guests arrive in
the evenings. This daily reduction in parking as well as the typical hotel occupancy
rates which are far less than 100%, 99% of the time, will allow for snow removal and
maintenance. When the need arrises, snow will be stored temporarily within the
parking lot until it can be removed and trucked offsite. In no case will snow be
temporarily stored within the parking areas for more than one week. The drive aisle/
ramp on the north side of the existing hotel building will be heated in order to maintain
it free from snow and ice and reduce the needs for snow storage.
Hotel Shuttle Operation:
The hotel has two shuttles that operate 365 days a year depending on need. In
general, the shuttle at peak times of the year, transports hotel guests with the
commercial core areas of the Town on a continuous loop from 8:00 am to 10:30 am and
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 13
August 17, 2021 - Page 110 of 286
again from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. During the afternoon and in the evening, the shuttles
run on-demand. This service makes it possible for hotel guests to book the Highline
and arrive via van or taxi and therefore not require a car during their stay.
Employee Parking Generally:
In general, employees of the hotel and businesses on this campus are required or
encouraged to use public transportation in order to reduce the parking demands of the
property. Parking requirements and studies reflect the total number of cars parked on
commercial or residential property and therefore include cars that are parked by
employees as well as guests and consumers. Therefore, parking for employees is
inherent in the parking counts. That said, the Highline intends to reduce the impacts on
the environment and make more parking available to guests and consumers but
discouraging employees from driving to work.
Fire Truck Turn Around Area (completed with hotel addition):
The fire truck turnaround area shall be maintained free from any obstacles, ice, and
snow. Snow storage shall not infringe upon the turnaround area.

Criteria for Review: Special Development District Amendment
Section 12-9A-8: DESIGN CRITERIA AND NECESSARY FINDINGS, of the Vail Town Code,
provides the criteria for review of a Special Development District. The following section
includes the criteria, along with an analysis of the compliance of the proposal with the criteria.
1.Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
2.Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
3.Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined
in chapter 10 of this title.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
4.Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive
plan, town policies and urban design plans.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
5.Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 18
August 17, 2021 - Page 115 of 286
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
6.Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed

consistent with this criterion.
7.Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off site traffic circulation.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
8.Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
Applicant Analysis:
The original SDD application was found be consistent with this criterion. The proposed
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
consistent with this criterion.
9.Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
Applicant Analysis:
Originally, the improvements and addition to the hotel, as well as the addition of the
Dorm EHUs, and the 15 unit Type 3 employee housing building (rental or for sale) were
to be completed in one phase. The applicant is now proposing to allow the 15 units
workforce housing building located on Lot 2 to be completed in the first phase, as an
option. This first phase would include the appropriate improvements associated with
Lot 2 including the following:
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 19
August 17, 2021 - Page 116 of 286
All landscape improvements located on Lot 2 except as modified by phase 2
along the south side where the future driveway is graded differently than the
phase 1 driveway resulting in a slightly different landscape treatment;;
Sidewalk and parking improvements in front of the workforce housing building
along Chamonix Lane to the existing bus stop and to intersection of Chamonix
Road; and
The stairs down to the parking lot from Chamonix Lane.
This change to the phasing plan allows one the major public benefits to occur first as a
stand alone phase. The second phase of the PUD would be the expansion of the hotel
and include the bulk of the parking, circulation, and landscape improvements.
If desired by the applicant, both phases may occur at the same time as well.

Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for resubdivision of the existing
Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3 Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1, Vail

Applicant:TNRE F I I I Bravo Vail L L C, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group
Planner:Greg Roy
1. This approval is contingent upon the applicant recording the plat prior
to the issuance of a building permit for the development of lot 2 of the
proposed Highline Subdivision.
Planner Roy introduced the lot and project. He stated that there was a minor
subdivision application earlier this year, but it was discovered that a lot line
adjustment was needed. Staff is recommending approval.
Dominic Mauriello stated that the reason behind the property line shift was in
order to account for building requirements for openings and glazing based
on setback from the lot line.
No public comment
Commissioner Gillette asked if this would affect the development of Lot 1.
Mauriello stated that there would be no physical changes but would add an
easement for Lot 1 to access the underground parking lot.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the
August 17, 2021 - Page 182 of 286
motion and it passed (6-0).
Absent:(1)Phillips
2.2.A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 12-7J -
3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, in accordance with Title 12, Chapter
16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow for accessory eating,
drinking, or retail establishments occupying between ten percent and fifteen
percent of the total GRFA at the Highline Hotel located at 2211 North
Frontage Road W est which is composed of Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3
Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1, Vail Das Schone Filing 3, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21-0019)
20 min.
Applicant:TNRE F I I I Bravo Vail L L C, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group
Planner:Greg Roy
1. The floor plan included as part of the permit application review by the
Planning and Environmental Commission is illustrative only. The
precise location of the commercial uses within the building may be
modified, however the size of the commercial areas may not increase
without a modification to this permit.
Planner Roy introduced the reasoning the behind this C UP is to account
for the change in zoning to PA-2 which limits commercial square footage.
There is no new commercial uses being added, the C UP is needed to bring
the current uses in conformance with the new district. Roy also introduced
three recommended conditions of approval. Staff is recommending a two
year approval if construction is not commenced within that time.
Commissioner Perez asked why the two year period is not lower.
Roy responds that it coincided with the S D D timeline.
Commissioner Gillette asked if the site was rezoned and an S D D was
created.
Roy indicated that this was correct.
Gillette asked a question about uses.
Roy stated that the rezoning was needed to account for a new proposed
plans, but an S D D cannot add new allowed uses to the underlying zone
district. Because of this, the limit on commercial square footage could not
be changed with an S D D.
Dominic Mauriello described the space that is in need of this C UP in detail.
The current space is simply storage but will become a dormitory for
employee housing. Plans to keep the storage space as storage until
redevelopment and asked that the first condition be removed since no use
commercial use is proposed in the meantime. He would also would ask that
the second condition not apply as it is redundant. Also recommends that in
the future the conditional use for commercial percentage be removed for
the PA-2 zone district.
Gillette asked how staff how they felt about the removal of conditions.
Roy stated that staff is hesitant to remove the first condition but could be ok
August 17, 2021 - Page 183 of 286
with it with an inspection to ensure the storage space is not used for
commercial in the meantime. Staff is ok with the removal of the second
condition.
Gillette stated that he also would like Staff to look into removing this limit on
commercial in the PA -2 district in order to encourage more commercial.
Commissioner Pratt was in agreement with the removal of the first two
conditions.
Perez stated that she preferred to keep the conditions as a way to
encourage the development of an employee housing unit sooner.
No public comment.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the
motion and it passed (5-1).

2.3.A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a major
amendment to Special Development District (S D D) No. 43, Highline
Doubletree, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail
Town Code, to create a phasing plan, clarify conditions, and request an
extension to the approval period, located at 2211 North Frontage Road W est
which is composed of Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3 Vail Das Schone
Filing No. 1 and Lot 1, Vail Das Schone Filing 3, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (P E C21-0018)
45 min.
Applicant:TNRE F I I I Bravo Vail L L C, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group
Planner:Greg Roy
1. The applicant shall obtain the certificate of occupancy for the E HU
building before requesting a certificate of occupancy for the hotel
addition.
2. Approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail
approval of an associated design review application.
3. Applicant shall obtain approval from Holy Cross to vacate the
easement under the proposed hotel addition before a building permit
is issued for the hotel addition.
4. Applicant shall set aside two (2) three-bedroom units and two (2) one-
bedroom units in the E HU building not to be included in the mitigation
bank.
5. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall
record deed restrictions with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder,
in a format approved by the Town Attorney, for the Type I I I Employee
Housing Units.
6. Applicant shall provide public art onsite with a value or at least
$32,500 and the installation of the public art shall be completed before
a certificate of occupancy for the hotel addition is granted.
7. The Applicant shall correct plans to meet the comments from the Fire
Department for phase one and phase two prior to the submittal for a
building permit for each respective phase of development.
8. Applicant shall update all plan pages to match the latest submission
prior to the submittal for the Design Review Board application for
August 17, 2021 - Page 184 of 286
each phase of development.
9. This application is contingent upon the approval of the conditional use
permit (P E C21-0019) and minor subdivision (P E C21-0030) being
approved.
10. The initial phase of construction shall begin within three (3) years
from the time of the approval of this S D D Major Amendment, P E C21-
0018, with the construction of the second phase to begin prior to
August 17, 2026.
Planner Roy stated that the S D D number was altered due to a clerical error
where S D D No. 42 had already been used. There are three portions of the
amendment. The first would create a phasing plan for the two buildings. The
second would remove some original conditions of approval that are either no
longer relevant or already achieved. The third would establish a timeframe
for the phasing. Greg next discussed, with maps, the phasing plan for the
development.
Gillette asked if the hotel would stay open in Phase 2.
Mauriello stated that it would.
Gillette asked if there would also still be parking for the hotel in this phase.
Mauriello stated that there would always be parking during construction.
Perez asked if there would be any loss of E HUs during the phasing plan and
also asked if the surrounding neighbors had been notified of this change. I t
was an important condition of approval at the time that everything be
developed at once to reduce the overall time of construction for surrounding
neighbors.
Mauriello stated that there would be no loss of E HUs. He also stated that the
neighbors had been notified about the changes being proposed as part of
this meeting. They did not feel that additional public outreach was needed.
The phasing does not provide any risk for the town even if the expansion of
the hotel is abandoned.
Pratt asked what the procedure was for the extension of an S D D approval
period.
Roy stated that there is not establish procedure for an extension, but it would
be handled through this amendment process.
Mauriello gave a few examples of other projects that had been granted an
extension. He also doesn’t believe that an extension would run afoul of the
upcoming West Vail Master Plan.
Roy stated that currently the construction of and S D D normally must start
within three years. The applicant is proposing a six year approval period.
Staff would suggest that the three year approval period simply reset with this
approval, should this amendment be approved. Staff has concerns about a
code change that may happen within six years. There is no specific change
anticipated, but over the course of six years code changes are likely to
happen throughout the code. The applicant is also proposing that the one
year grace period to start the second phase of the project be removed.
Gillette asked the applicant to provide more argument for the elimination of
August 17, 2021 - Page 185 of 286
the one year grace period.
Mauriello stated that once the E HU building is started they would have one
year to start the expansion of the hotel. This is a tight time period to meet.
Gillette asked if this would give them unlimited time to pursue the hotel
expansion then.
Roy clarified that the hotel would be required to start construction within the
overall S D D approval period.
Commissioner Kjesbo stated that he was comfortable with the proposal due
to the fact that the E HUs would be built up-front.
Kurz was concerned that the larger approval period would result in a site that
is under a construction state for upwards of a ten year period.
Mauriello argued that the development starting from the W est Vail Master
Plan might also take 10+ years.
Gillette clarified this ten year construction statement. The construction would
not take ten years, it may simply take almost six years to start and then a few
more years to finish.
Commissioner Seibert stated that he wasn’t sure that the first phase should
be allowed to be extended to six years to start. I s ok with the hotel taking
more then a year after the E HU building to start. Stated that he would rather
hear a reason why the E HU building can’t start in three years if it cannot in
that time period.
Mauriello stated that he is ok with the E HU building being required to start
within three years as long as the hotel component still has a six year
approval.
Kjesbo stated that he likes that proposal. He also mentioned that ultimately
the P E C would be highly likely to approve an extension for the E HU
construction anyway.
Pratt stated that he is in favor of removing the one year phasing requirement
and only resetting the project to a three year approval starting on this
approval.
Mauriello stated that developers can generally save more money and time
when they do not need to be put through this approval process so frequently.
Gillette stated that he likes the three year for E HUs and three more years for
the hotel proposal the best.
Roy continued to discuss the proposed changes to the previous conditions
of approval in detail. Of note, Staff recommends that Fire department
approval be addressed prior to the approval of a building permit for each
stage. Staff is recommending approval with some changes to proposed
conditions.
Mauriello stated that the applicant is ok with the updated conditions.
No public comment.
August 17, 2021 - Page 186 of 286
Pratt is still in favor of maintaining the three year approval period for the
overall approval.

2.4.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 303 Gore Creek Drive which is composed
of Vail Village Filing 1 Block 5 Lots 1-6, from the High Density Multiple-
Family (HD MF) District to the Vail Village Townhouse (V V T) District and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21-0031)
45 min.
Applicant:Vail Townhouse Condominium Association, represented by
Mauriello Planning Group
Planner:Greg Roy
Planner Roy began by discussing the site location itself and introducing the
proposal to rezone to the Vail Village Townhouse District. W hen this zone
district was created, properties such as this as well as the Texas
Townhomes were intended to be rezoned to this zone district. This
development does comply with the requirements of the V V T district. Staff is
recommending approval of this rezoning.
Chairman Kurz asked a question about the if the buildings to east are any
different from these units under consideration.
Roy stated that those units to the east were also compliant with the V V T
district.
Dominic Mauriello began by discussing more of the history of this site and
the anticipated V V T rezoning. He anticipates that owners will come forward
in the future with proposals to redevelop in accordance to this district’s
standards.
Public Comment
Ericson Shirley stated that he was an owner of a unit and was in support of
the rezoning. Thinks that these townhomes should not be held to the
standard to look the same. Wants to see more creativity in their design.
Kurz stated that he agreed with the public comment and that the existing
townhomes in this district being unique in character has been positive.
Brian Gillette moved to approve. Pete Seibert seconded the motion and it
passed (4-0).

C. Plan Set, 6-16-2021
III. BACKGROUND
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.
Over time there have been multiple application for small remodels or exterior
alterations. Most recently was an exterior alteration that allowed for the restriping of the
parking lot, pool upgrades, and exterior facade upgrades to the building in 2016.
This application was 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. This application was scheduled to be heard on March 23rd but
was tabled to the April 13th meeting where the major exterior alteration was approved
and the rezoning and SDD application was recommended for approval to Town Council.
Town Council heard Ordinance No. 3 for the rezoning on June 2, 2020 and June 16,
2020 for the first and second reading, respectively. This application along with
Ordinance No. 4 for the creation of the SDD, which was heard at the same meetings
were passed by Town Council.
The PEC heard an application for a minor subdivision on this property on March 8 th of
2020 and approved the plat. That plat, however, was not recorded and an adjustment to
the lot line was needed. For this reason, a subsequent minor subdivision application
was received.

plan, densities and permitted, conditional and accessory uses. (Ord. 29(2005) § 26:
Ord. 21(1988) § 1)
12-9A-7: USES:
Determination of permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be made by the
planning and environmental commission and town council as a part of the formal review
of the proposed development plan. Unless further restricted through the review of the
proposed special development district, permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall
be limited to those permitted, conditional and accessory uses in a property's underlying
zone district. Under certain conditions, commercial uses may be permitted in residential
special development districts if, in the opinion of the town council, such uses are
primarily for the service and convenience of the residents of the development and the
immediate neighborhood. Such uses, if any, shall not change or destroy the
predominantly residential character of the special development district. The amount of
area and type of such uses, if any, to be allowed in a residential special development
district shall be established by the town council as a part of the approved development
plan. (Ord. 29(2005) § 26: Ord. 21(1988) § 1)

control, site coverage, landscaping and parking shall be determined by the town council
as part of the approved development plan with consideration of the recommendations of
the planning and environmental commission. Before the town council approves
development standards that deviate from the underlying zone district, it should be
determined that such deviation provides benefits to the town that outweigh the adverse
effects of such deviation. This determination is to be made based on evaluation of the
proposed special development district's compliance with the design criteria outlined in
section 12-9A-8 of this article. (Ord. 29(2005) § 26: Ord. 21(1988) § 1)

VlI. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REQUESTED:
1. Phasing Plan
This SDD’s approval did not include a phasing plan and the components were to be
August 17, 2021 - Page 199 of 286
Town of Vail Page 12
developed at the same time. This amendment proposes to split the project into two
phases. Below is a summary of the improvements to be completed with each of the
phases:
Phase 1
1. Construction of the EHU building.
2. All landscape improvements on the propose Lot 2 .
3. Sidewalk and parking improvements along Chamonix Ln and continuing the
sidewalk from the Chamonix Rd intersection to the bus stop.
4. Construction of the stairs from Chamonix Ln to the parking lot.
Phase 2
1. Construction of the hotel addition, including the underground parking.
2. Remodel of the pool deck.
3. Reconfiguration of the parking lots.
4. Continuing the sidewalk down Chamonix Rd.
The Applicant also proposes to be allowed to perform some of the improvements that
are within the existing hotel structure, namely the conversion of office space to a
dormitory.
2. Amend Conditions of Approval
With the original approval of the SDD, there were thirteen conditions of approval that
are listed below.
1. Applicant shall obtain approval for subdivision before a certificate of occupancy
for the EHU building is granted.
2. The applicant shall obtain the certificate of occupancy for the EHU building
before requesting a certificate of occupancy for the hotel addition.
3. Approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of an
associated design review application.
4. The applicant shall obtain approval for a conditional use permit for the
commercial space on the first floor before a building permit is issued.
5. Applicant shall obtain approval from Holy Cross to vacate the easement under
the proposed hotel addition before a building permit is issued.
6. Applicant shall set aside two (2) three-bedroom units and two (2) one-bedroom
units in the EHU building not to be included in the mitigation bank.
August 17, 2021 - Page 200 of 286
Town of Vail Page 13
7. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall record deed
restrictions with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder, in a format approved by
the Town Attorney, for the Type III Employee Housing Units.
8. The applicant shall coordinate and resolve landscape conflicts with utilities and
sight distance before a building permit is issued.
9. The applicant shall show the drainage outfall for Chamonix Lane swale in the
building permit submittal.
10. The applicant shall provide a 2’ gravel shoulder along Chamonix Lane and side
slopes of swale no steeper than 2:1.
11. Applicant shall increase AIPP contribution to $32,500 and the installation shall be
completed before a certificate of occupancy for the hotel addition is granted.
12. Applicant shall correct plans to meet the comments from the Fire Department
prior to the submittal for a building permit.
13. Applicant shall update all plan pages to match the latest submission prior to the
submittal for the Design Review Board application.
Out of these thirteen conditions the Applicant is proposing the following modifications as
listed in the narrative with the applicant’s reasoning and follow by Staff’s comments.
If the PEC does approve the minor subdivision as it is heard at this meeting, this
condition will be no longer relevant.
If the PEC does approve the conditional use permit as it is heard at this meeting, this
condition will be no longer relevant.
This condition was related to an easement (shown in orange below) that is underneath
the proposed hotel addition. The modification of the easement would make sense to be
tied to the hotel addition in phase two as proposed by the applicant.
August 17, 2021 - Page 201 of 286
Town of Vail Page 14
Conditions 8, 9, and 10 were comments made from our Public Works team on
improvements that they needed to happen along Chamonix Lane. With this latest set of
plans those changes have been made and have been approved by Public Works. As
such, these are no longer relevant.
August 17, 2021 - Page 202 of 286
Town of Vail Page 15
As the condition was affirmed by Council that the minimum dollar amount of the art shall
be $32,500 the change to this condition is appropriate. Our AIPP Coordinator has
approved of the change to the wording of this condition.
As of March 18th, 2020, there were unresolved comments from the Fire department on
the staging and access plan. This was the latest review before the applica tion went to
public meetings, and the condition was added that these comments be met. At this time
the Fire department staff has not had time to review the latest submission to see if the
comments related to phase one have been addressed. As staff believes the comments
for phase one and phase two could be answered independently, an alternative condition
is proposed by Staff to keep the project moving forward.
“12. The Aapplicant shall correct plans to meet the comments from the Fire Department
for phase one and phase two prior to the submittal for a building permit for each
respective phase of development.”
Staff supports this amendment to ensure that as future DRB applications come in the
plans are clear and laid out for each phase.
3. Extension of Approval Period
Section 12-9A-12 Time Requirements lays out the time requirements for completion of
an SDD. The requirements are listed in subsection A:
“A. Start Of Construction; Completion: The developer must begin initial construction of
the special development district within three (3) years from the time of its final approval,
and continue diligently toward the completion of the project. If the special development
district is to be developed in phases, the developer must begin construction of
subsequent phases within one year of the completion of the previous phase.”
The first requirement is that construction must begin within three (3) years of approval.
The applicant is asking for approval to extend that time to six (6) years, which would
give the project until June 15th, 2026 to start construction. The second time requirement
is that if the project is to be done in phases then construction of subsequent phases
must begin within one year or completion of the previous phase. The applicant is asking
for this portion of the requirement to be waived to allow them to start the second phase
with no regard to when the first phase is completed.
August 17, 2021 - Page 203 of 286
Town of Vail Page 16
The purpose of this section is to ensure that SDDs that are approved are initiated and
completed in a timely manner. As time progresses, Town Code, building codes, and fire
codes change, the design and construction of a project could change as well. By 2026
the fire code and building code would have gone through two adoption cycles. By
extending the approval period of the project the buildings could be non-compliant with
the code at the time that it is built.
If the PEC determines that six years would be against the intent of this code section. An
option would be to restart the approval period if/when Town Council approves this
proposed amendment, which would give the SDD until August 2024 (specific date
uncertain) to start construction. If the PEC determines that restarting the approval date
with the approval of this amendment is appropriate, Staff suggests the following
condition be added to the SDD:
“The initial phase of construction shall begin within three (3) years from the time
of the approval of this SDD Major Amendment, PEC21 -0018, with the
construction of the second phase to begin within one year of the completion of
the first phase.”
Vlll. REVIEW CRITERIA – SDD
Criteria: The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluation
the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the
applicant to demonstrate that the submittal material and the proposed development plan
comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is
not applicable or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
The proposed SDD amendment is generally compatible and sensitive to the immediate
environment, neighborhood or adjacent properties. The proposed phasing plan shows
that the phase one portion of the SDD will be able to be constructed in a way that will fit
into the current site. There are no design changes that would affect the compatibility
with the neighborhood or adjacent properties.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
August 17, 2021 - Page 204 of 286
Town of Vail Page 17
The SDD amendment does not propose a change in the use, or activity on the site.
Density in terms of residential will be decreased with this application. In terms of
building density as site coverage, the application does not propose any new density that
has not already been approved.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
The phasing of this project would put the EHU building construction before the hotel
addition. This would preserve the existing parking at the northwest of the site and
maintains enough parking for the existing hotel and the EHU building.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The application would be forwarding the Goal #4 of the Land Use and Development
section of the comprehensive plan if the employee housing building would be in addition
to required employee housing. The applicant is proposing to build this as a mitigation
bank so that future developments that are unable to build the necessary units on their
site can buy into the mitigation bank to satisfy their requirement. The application is
leaving two one-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units out of the bank as a true
benefit that cannot be credited towards another development. Having these additional
units puts the town closer to achieving its goals for providing housing. This amendment
also proposes to build the EHU building prior to the hotel addition which provides the
most benefit in terms of timing.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
5. Natural And/Or geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
There are steep slopes, hazardous rock fall, and debris flow that affect this property.
The applicant supplied a report on these hazards. The report states that a site specific
study would need to be completed for debris flow to suggest the needed mitigation for
the site, and that the rock fall hazard was low for this site. A site specific study for all
geologic hazards will be required prior to building permit.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
August 17, 2021 - Page 205 of 286
Town of Vail Page 18
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
Phase two, which represents the completion of the project has been found to meet this
criterion with the original approval. The phase one plan has been found to also produce
a functional development. The EHU building will be set in the established location at the
rear of the site. This allows for access to the parking in the northwest of the project to be
maintained and allows appropriate spacing between the EHU building and the existing
hotel. The stairs to the east of the EHU building and the sidewalk along Chamonix Lan e
will be built with phase one, which allows the occupants of the of the EHU building to
have access to the parking lot to the south, to the bus stop to the east and provide a
walking path for occupants and other residents in the area along Chamonix Lane.
Conformance with zoning standards such as setbacks, height, snow storage and
landscaping are maintained with the phased approach to this project. Design features
for the buildings and how the phases align architecturally will be in the purview of the
Design Review Board when an application for their approval is submitted.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
Sufficient pedestrian access is maintained with this application. The sidewalk along
Chamonix Ln, will improve off-site circulation adjacent to the phase one development.
The stairs to the east of the EHU building will provide access for those residents to the
interior of the site. The interior sidewalks and striping will be included in phase two,
which will further improve safe pedestrian flow through the site.
Vehicular circulation is not significantly changing from the existing with the phase one
development. The most significant change from existing is the loss of parking along the
north where the EHU building will be built and the access to the parking in the northwest
of the site. Minimum drive aisles are maintained from the parking on east that lead to
the parking on the northwest.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order
to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
The phase one landscaping includes three twelve-foot tall blue spruces in the plan. Two
are in the area between Chamonix Lane and the building. The PEC has asked in
previous meetings that vegetation be used to screen the building from the roadway, and
that appears to be the intent in the distribution of the trees in the front of the site.
August 17, 2021 - Page 206 of 286
Town of Vail Page 19
Phase two landscaping takes a similar approach and proposes a majority of new
plantings between the hotel addition and the road, with a heavy screen along Chamonix
Lane.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The phasing plan for this SDD is workable and functional. As there are only two phases,
the primary focus is whether phase one fits in with the existing conditions before phase
two is built and completes the site. As previously stated, the EHU building and other
phase one improvements fit in with the existing conditions and will provide a workable
plan.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.

IIl. BACKGROUND
This area was originally annexed into the Town of Vail as part of a court order in 1963.
This was followed by the parcel being zoned High Density Multiple -Family as part of
Ordinance 8, Series of 1973. Since this property has been in the HDMF district there
have been six variances that have been granted to the units located on these lots. The
variances largely relate to the setbacks and the difficulty the individual lots had with
meeting side setbacks in this district and unit configuration.
On August 21, 2012 the Vail Town council adopted Ordinance No. 2 Series of 2012
establishing the Vail Village Townhouse Zone District. The Vail Village Townhouse
(VVT) District was adopted following numerous public hearings before the Planning and
Environmental Commission and the Town Council. At first it was a private property
owner initiated application and later, as a Community Development staff led effort. This
zone district was established for the following purpose:
1. To provide for the regulation of existing townhouse properties in Vail Village that
were legally non-conforming in regard to the provisions of the High Density
Multiple-Family District.
2. To create incentives for the redevelopment of the existing townhouse properties
in Vail Village.
3. To preserve the existing character of the townhouse properties in Vail Village and
the existing character of the neighborhood.
In 2014 the Vail Rowhouses 7-13 and Texas Townhomes went through the rezoning
process to change the zoning on their lots from HDMF to the VVT dis trict.
lV. REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the Planning
and environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested zone district boundary amendment:
Zone District Boundary Amendment Factors
August 17, 2021 - Page 234 of 286
Town of Vail Page 3
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.
The proposed zone district amendment is supported by the Vail comprehensive
plan and Vail Village Master Plan as noted in Section lll above. The
Comprehensive plan values quality development and redevelopment
opportunities throughout the town. The Vail Village Master Plan specifically calls
out this parcel of land as one that would qualify to be rezoned to the VVT district.
Other applicable goals met by this application include the following Land Use
Plan goals:
1.3 Quality development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
The proposed zone district amendment is suitable to the existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the Town’s adopted planning documents.
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area as a un ique are that is made
up of mostly multi-family projects with limited commercial. It states that this
location is prime for redevelopment and infill development as opportunities arise
and that flexibility will be needed in order to allow a property such as this to
redevelop. It specifically states:
“This flexibility may be achieved through the rezoning to the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District.”
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with
municipal development objectives.
The proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the adjacent zoning on
the property to the East. This property is the Vail Rowhouses, which are a set of
townhomes and were rezoned to VVT in 2014. With the river to the north and
commercial zoning to the south and west, this area serves as a transition from
the residential use to the east to this commercial area. The use on this site will
August 17, 2021 - Page 235 of 286
Town of Vail Page 4
not change with this rezoning but will be coming in line with the goals of the Vail
Village Master Plan.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
The proposed zone district amendment provides the appropriate incentives for
the orderly redevelopment of the subject properties. The development standards
of the VVT district, working with the VVT specific design considerations of the
Vail Village master Plan, will provide for appropriate, compatible development.
This zoning amendment does not result in the granting of privilege nor is it
incompatible with the Vail Village Master Plan, two tests for a determination of
spot zoning.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
As this area is currently developed and any development proposed under the
new zone district would have to meet the environmental guidelines set forth in
Town Code. The proposed zoning change to this existing development would
not negatively affect riparian corridors, air quality, water quality, or other
environmental aspects.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district.
The proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the VVT zone district’s
purpose, as it was established to regulate the existing townhome properties that
are legally non-conforming in the HDMF district. The purpose also calls out this
property as seen below:
“This zone district was specifically developed to only be applied to the properties
known at the time of the establishment of this district as the Vail townhouses
condominium . . . “
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
August 17, 2021 - Page 236 of 286
Town of Vail Page 5
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.
The property was zoned HDMF in 1973 and the VVT district was only established
in 2012 as a result of the Vail Village Master Plan. This shows how the Town has
evolved and developed a specific plan for this area which includes the rezoning
of this property.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed rezoning.
V. RECOMMENDED MOTION
Should the Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021, upon
first reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council
pass the following motion:
“The Vail Town Council approves, on first reading, Ordinance No. 17, Series of
2021 an ordinance for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to
Section12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town code, to allow for the rezoning of 303
Gore Creek Drive which is composed of Vail Village Filing 1 Block 5 Lots 1-6,
from the High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF) District to the Vail Village

Vail Townhouse Condominiums 2
August 17, 2021 - Page 241 of 286
Introduction
The Vail Townhouse Condominiums Property Owners Association, represented by
Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a rezoning for the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums, located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Units 2A, 2B, 2D, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B,
6A, 6B. The Vail Townhouse Condominiums are currently zoned High Density Multiple
Family (HDMF) and are requesting a rezoning to Vail Village Townhouse (VVT).
The VVT zone district was adopted in 2012, with the intent to encourage and incentivize
the redevelopment of townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek area of Vail Village.
The Town of Vail, recognizing the challenges of redevelopment under HDMF, created
the VVT district and adopted revisions to the Vail Village Master Plan to guide
redevelopment of these properties. The Town then encouraged property owners and
property owners associations to apply to rezone to VVT should they decide it to be
beneficial. At this time, the Vail Rowhouses and Texas Townhomes rezoned from HDMF
to VVT.
The Vail Townhouse Condominiums were originally constructed in 1964 under Eagle
County jurisdiction, prior to the incorporation of the Town of Vail in 1966. Originally
platted as 6 townhouse lots, the property was replatted as the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums in the early 2000s. Though it is attached to the Vail Rowhouses, they are
separate entities.
Under the current zoning of HDMF, the many existing and legally established non-
conformities of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums create difficulties in allowing even
minor improvements and/or additions. For example, there are 11 units within the Vail
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 3
View of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums looking east from a birds-eye view. The units
directly to the east are the Vail Rowhouses, which were zoned VVT in 2014
Vail Townhouse
Condominiums
August 17, 2021 - Page 242 of 286
Townhouse Condominiums, while only 9 units are allowed under HDMF density
requirements. While this may seem minor, when a property is non-conforming with
regard to density, additions are limited to 250 additions or interior conversions. Many of
these units did take advantage of these in the 1990s and have been left with few
options since then. Other examples of non-conformities under HDMF include GRFA,
setbacks, parking, etc., which has historically lead to a redevelopment process that
required individuals to apply for multiple variances for even minor modifications. As a
result, few, if any, redevelopment projects have been proposed at the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums recently.
The following is a list of variances from the Town’s GIS that have been granted at the
Vail Townhouse Condominiums:
In contrast, the Vail Rowhouses which rezoned to VVT by Ordinance 9, Series of 2014,
has seen redevelopment of many of the existing units. The VVT zone district allowed
these property owners to redevelop under the controls of the VVT zone district and the
Vail Village Master Plan, which created flexibility to address the nonconformities of
density and GRFA under the old zoning, but actually further limits height and creates
additional bulk and mass controls to ensure appropriate and compatible design.
Date Unit Description of Variance
August 6, 1975 6B, 5B, 4B density control, setbacks
May 10, 1981 6A setbacks
June 7, 1987 6B setbacks
April 23, 2000 2A setbacks

The Vail Townhouse Condominiums (left) in comparison to the Vail Rowhouses (right). The Vail
Townhouse Condominiums is requesting a rezoning from HDMF to VVT, which was approved for
the Vail Rowhouses in 2014. Numerous projects have been approved for the Vail Rowhouses
since the rezoning.
August 17, 2021 - Page 243 of 286
The Vail Townhouse Condominiums does not currently have any plans for
redevelopment of the property. The current request to rezone from HDMF to VVT is the
first step to allow the owners to have the appropriate zoning parameters as they move
into planning for their future. Any future redevelopment will be reviewed by the
appropriate Town of Vail Boards and/or Commissions.

Zoning Issues:
While the rezoning from HDMF to VVT will eliminate many of the existing nonconformities
of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, it is noted that there are encroachments into the
west side setback and Mill Creek stream setback that were approved by the Town of
Vail by variances granted to Unit 2A. The west side setback of 20 ft. is the same under
both zone districts, and the stream setback from Mill Creek is a regulatory stream
setback that applies regardless of zone district. Therefore, these variances remain in
effect and these encroachments are allowed to continue as conforming improvements
as approved by the Town.
A general calculation of site coverage indicates that the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums complies with the site coverage limitation of 55%. The current site
coverage is approximately 7,269 sq. ft. (45%). The property also appears to comply with
landscape area, with approximately 5,338 sq. ft. (33%) of landscape area. However, it
may exceed the allowable area of hardscape within that landscape area. The
allowable site coverage and minimum landscape area regulations within the HDMF
and VVT zone districts are the same, and any redevelopment project will need to be
evaluated for compliance.

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: In conjunction with the creation of the VVT zone district, the
Town of Vail amended the Vail Village Master Plan to specifically address the
properties in the East Gore Creek Sub Area, which includes the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums. The applicable section is provided below:
A number of the earliest projects developed in Vail are located in the East Gore
Creek Sub-Area. Development in this area is exclusively multi-family
condominium and townhouse projects with a limited amount of support
commercial. Surface parking is found at each site, which creates a dominant
visual impression of the sub-area.
While the level of development in East Gore Creek is generally greater than that
allowed under existing zoning, this area has the potential to absorb density
without compromising the character of the Village. These developments could
be accommodated by partial infills of existing parking areas balanced by
greenspace additions or through increasing the height of existing buildings
(generally one story over existing heights). In order to maintain the architectural
continuity of projects, additional density should be considered in conjunction
with the comprehensive redevelopment of projects or individual units. There are
several townhouse properties within this sub-area which were platted and/or
constructed under Eagle County jurisdiction. These townhouse properties are
nonconforming with the many of development standards (including, but not
limited to density, gross residential floor area, setbacks, site coverage, landscape
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 8
August 17, 2021 - Page 247 of 286
area) of the High Density Multiple Family (HDMF) District. It is recommended that
greater flexibility with the development standards may be necessary to allow
these townhouse projects to redevelop. This flexibility may be achieved through
the rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District. However, the granting
of variances from the HDMF District or rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse
(VVT) District should consider potential impacts to the character of the
neighborhood.
Clearly, one of the main objectives to consider in the redevelopment of any
property should be to improve existing parking facilities. This includes satisfying
parking demands for existing and additional development. The opportunity to
introduce below grade structured parking will greatly improve pedestrianization
and landscape features in this area. This should be considered a goal of any
redevelopment proposal in this sub-area.
Development or redevelopment of this sub-area may attract additional traffic
and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon portions of
Sub-Areas 7 and 10.
There are several existing townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek Sub-Area,
including the Vail Townhouse Condominium, Vail Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalet,
Vail Trails East, and Texas Townhomes. These design considerations provide
recommendations for the redevelopment of these properties. The purpose of
these design considerations is to preserve the unique character of the existing
townhouse properties in Vail Village. Redevelopment should be consistent with
the existing pedestrian-oriented, urban character of Vail Village. All demo/
rebuild and new construction projects in the Vail Village Townhouse District shall
comply with these guidelines. It is understood that renovations to existing
buildings may be unable to fully comply with some of these design
considerations. Redevelopment to existing buildings will be evaluated on a case-
by-case basis, with determination of compliance based upon whether the
renovation to an existing building meets the general intent of these design
considerations.
A. Zoning: The existing townhouse
properties in the East Gore Creek
Sub-Area including the Vail
Townhouse Condominiums, Vail
Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail
Trails East, and Texas Townhomes
should be rezoned from the High
Density Multiple- Family (HDMF)
District to the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District.
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 9
Applicant Analysis: the Vail Village Master Plan recognized that the properties
within this sub-area are an appropriate location for greater density. It
recommends allowing for flexibility with development standards and states
that rezoning to VVT is the appropriate method to achieve this flexibility.
August 17, 2021 - Page 248 of 286
B. Development Pattern: Townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek Sub-
Area should exhibit the appearance and characteristics of a residential row
style development. Buildings should face the street and appear to be a series
of proportionally sized, individual dwelling units occupying the space from the
ground to the roof that are attached inline by shared side walls. Buildings
should exhibit these characteristics regardless of ownership patterns or the
horizontal and vertical subdivision of properties, and should create a
perceived dwelling unit occupying the space within a building from the
ground to the roof.
C. Architectural Theme: The existing architectural and aesthetic character of
the townhouse properties in Vail Village shall be preserved.
1. Units: The architectural theme of each dwelling unit or perceived
dwelling unit (occupying the space within a building from the ground to
the roof) shall be expressed on all sides of that unit to create an
architecturally integrated unit.
2. Buildings: Townhouse buildings shall express an architectural theme of
either uniformity or individuality. To portray architectural and aesthetic
integrity, a combination of both themes within a single building is
discouraged.
a. Uniformity: Townhouse buildings may express a singular, unified
architectural theme in which every perceived dwelling unit
(occupying the space from ground to the roof) in a building is
composed of substantially the same exterior design, materials, textures,
and colors.
b. Individuality: Townhouse buildings may express an individualistic
architectural theme in which each perceived dwelling unit (occupying
the space from ground to the roof) in a building varies in exterior
design, materials, textures, and colors; so that abutting units do not
have the same architectural treatment. This expression of individuality
among units must be balanced with the character of the adjacent
units and the building as a whole.
D. Building Form and Massing: Buildings shall step back from the front property
line to create the appearance of a two-story façade along the street. For the
purposes of these design considerations, a story or floor is considered the
space between the surface of any floor and the next floor or ceiling above,
not exceeding 11 feet in height.
The front façade of the first floor or street level and the second floor shall be
located within 20 to 28 feet of the front property line. The front façade of the
third floor and any floors above shall step back 6 to 10 feet from the façade
of the second floor below.
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 10
Applicant Analysis: the Vail Village Master Plan states that the Vail Townhouse
Condominiums should be rezoned to the VVT zone district and provides design
considerations to guide redevelopment in this area.
August 17, 2021 - Page 249 of 286
E. Street Edge: Front façade shall be generally parallel to the street and form
a strong, but irregular edge to the street. Front façades shall generally align
with adjacent units and buildings to create a sense of street enclosure and
continuity, but shall have enough offset between units and buildings to
create visual interest.
F. Façade: To reduce the appearance of building height and mass, and to
create a residential scale and character, all façades shall incorporate vertical
and horizontal articulation to reduce the appearance of building height and
mass and to foster the appearance of a residential neighborhood. Façades
should incorporate doors, decks, porches, balconies, fenestration, recesses,
bay windows, ornamentation, and other traditional residential architectural
elements. No façade shall appear to be a large unbroken plane. To preserve
the existing pedestrian scale and residential character of the neighborhood,
dwelling unit entries are encouraged on the front of the building; however,
garage entries are strongly discouraged on the front façade.
G. Cantilevers: On the front façade, floor area cantilevered more than three
feet beyond the level below is strongly discouraged. Cantilevered floor areas
shall not be stacked or cantilevered atop one another.
H. Roof Pitch: The primary roof form should be sloping with pitches from 3:12
to 4:12. Secondary roofs should be sloping with pitches from 6:12 to 9:12. Flat
roofs may have limited use as secondary roofs for decks and mechanical
equipment areas. Mansard roofs create the perception of additional bulk
and mass and are inconsistent with the architectural character of the existing
townhouse properties and the existing neighborhood. Therefore, mansard
roofs are discouraged.
I. Roof Ridge: The primary roof ridges shall be parallel with the front façade of
the building and should be oriented to not shed snow or rain onto adjacent
properties. To create visual interest and to reduce the perception of building
bulk and mass, roofs shall not create the appearance of continuous ridges
between units or buildings. Roof ridges should be articulated by stepping in
elevation and varying from front to rear. Dormers and other secondary roof
forms may also be used minimize the perception of a continuous ridge.
J. Fences and Site Walls: Privacy fences and walls along the street are
discouraged, except to screen trash areas, utility equipment, and other
similar items.
K. Landscaping: Trees, shrubs, and other plant materials shall be located in
the front portion of the site to create privacy and to soften the visual transition
from roadways and parking areas to the building façades.
L. Deck Rails: Deck rails shall be designed to minimize the perception of
additional building bulk and mass. Deck rails should incorporate
transparency, material changes, and stepping in alignment from other
building elements. Solid railings that appear to extend the exterior wall
material from below are discouraged.
M. Parking: Off-street parking should be located on at-grade surface
driveways or in below grade shared parking structures. Off -street parking
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 11
August 17, 2021 - Page 250 of 286
should not be accommodated with individual or shared garages, carports, or
parking structures on the first floor or street level.
The proposed rezoning of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums from HDMF to VVT is
therefore consistent with 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
APPLICANT RESPONSE: The existing surrounding land uses are identified and outlined
in the map and table below:

Mixed Use (hotel & residential)
Town of Vail
Mountain Haus

Public Accommodation
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 12
August 17, 2021 - Page 251 of 286
Both the HDMF and the VVT zone districts allow for “Multiple-family residential
dwellings, including attached and row dwellings and condominium dwellings” as a
permitted use. This is the existing use of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums. The VVT
zone district is slightly more restrictive in that it does not allow for “Lodge” as a
permitted use as HDMF allows. This use is compatible with all existing and allowable
uses on the surrounding properties and within this area of Vail Village.
(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 VVT zone district
furthers the Town’s development objectives as outlined in the analysis of the Vail
Village Master Plan provided above.
(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 providing for development standards and
design guidelines for the redevelopment of the Vail Townhouse Condominiums in
alignment with the Vail Village Master Plan.
This does not constitute spot zoning, as the VVT zone district helps further implement
the Vail Village Master Plan and is consistent with the surrounding zone designations,
including the adjacent Vail Row Houses, which is also zoned VVT. 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 VVT zone district was created by the Town of Vail in
recognition of the challenges of redevelopment under the HDMF zone district that
rendered many properties, including the Vail Townhouse Condominiums,
nonconforming. The VVT zone district allows for flexibility for some standards, and
more restrictive requirements in others, especially height. All environmental controls

reviewed and approved by the appropriate governing bodies. As a result, there are
no adverse impacts of the proposed rezoning.
(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 VVT zone district is as follows:
12-6J-1: PURPOSE:
The Vail Village townhouse district is intended to provide sites for, and maintain
the unique residential character of, existing townhouse properties in the East
Gore Creek subarea of the Vail Village master plan area. This zone district was
specifically developed to only be applied to the properties known at the time of
the establishment of this district as the Vail townhouses condominium, Vail row
houses, Vail trails chalets, Vail trails east condominiums and the Texas
townhomes. The Vail Village townhouse district is intended to ensure adequate
light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with townhomes, and
to maintain the desirable residential and resort qualities of the zone district by
establishing appropriate site development standards. Certain nonresidential uses
are permitted as conditional uses, which relate to the nature of Vail as a winter
and summer recreation and year round community and, where permitted, are
intended to blend harmoniously with the residential character of the zone
district.
This zone district was established to regulate existing townhome properties that
were legally nonconforming in the high density multiple-family district. The Vail
Village townhouse district is meant to encourage and provide incentives for
redevelopment of existing townhouse properties in accordance with the Vail
Village master plan. The incentives in this zone district include addressing both
townhouse projects and individually platted townhouse lots, reductions in lot
area standards, reductions in setbacks, increases in density, increases in gross
residential floor area (GRFA), and changes in parking design requirements. More
restrictive design considerations have been applied to these properties in
accordance with the Vail Village master plan to maintain the unique residential
character of existing townhouse developments in Vail Village.
Vail Townhouse Condominiums 14
Applicant Analysis: The purpose statement specifically identifies the Vail
Townhouse Condominiums as one of the properties that should be rezoned to
the VVT zone district, and notes that the goal is to maintain the residential
character of this neighborhood.
Applicant Analysis: Recognizing the challenges presented by the current zoning
of HDMF, the purpose statement encourages the redevelopment of properties in
accordance with the Vail Village Master Plan.
August 17, 2021 - Page 253 of 286
The proposed rezoning from HDMF to VVT is consistent with the purpose statement of
the VVT zone district, and furthers the recommendations included in the purpose
statement. The proposal is therefore consistent with this criterion.
(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 Vail Townhouse Condominiums was zoned HDMF in 1973.
Recognizing that the needs of the Town have changed since the property was
originally zoned HDMF, the new zoning of VVT allows for the development of under
specific regulations developed for this location and use. The proposed rezoning is
consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan, which recognizes the changes that have
occurred in this area. 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.

Applicant:TNRE F I I I Bravo Vail L L C, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group
Planner:Greg Roy
1. This approval is contingent upon the applicant recording the plat prior
to the issuance of a building permit for the development of lot 2 of the
proposed Highline Subdivision.
Planner Roy introduced the lot and project. He stated that there was a minor
subdivision application earlier this year, but it was discovered that a lot line
adjustment was needed. Staff is recommending approval.
Dominic Mauriello stated that the reason behind the property line shift was in
order to account for building requirements for openings and glazing based
on setback from the lot line.
No public comment

1. The floor plan included as part of the permit application review by the
Planning and Environmental Commission is illustrative only. The
precise location of the commercial uses within the building may be
modified, however the size of the commercial areas may not increase
without a modification to this permit.
Planner Roy introduced the reasoning the behind this C UP is to account
for the change in zoning to PA-2 which limits commercial square footage.
There is no new commercial uses being added, the C UP is needed to bring
the current uses in conformance with the new district. Roy also introduced
three recommended conditions of approval. Staff is recommending a two
year approval if construction is not commenced within that time.
Commissioner Perez asked why the two year period is not lower.
Roy responds that it coincided with the S D D timeline.
Commissioner Gillette asked if the site was rezoned and an S D D was
created.
Roy indicated that this was correct.
Gillette asked a question about uses.
Roy stated that the rezoning was needed to account for a new proposed
plans, but an S D D cannot add new allowed uses to the underlying zone
district. Because of this, the limit on commercial square footage could not
be changed with an S D D.
Dominic Mauriello described the space that is in need of this C UP in detail.
The current space is simply storage but will become a dormitory for
employee housing. Plans to keep the storage space as storage until
redevelopment and asked that the first condition be removed since no use
commercial use is proposed in the meantime. He would also would ask that
the second condition not apply as it is redundant. Also recommends that in
the future the conditional use for commercial percentage be removed for
the PA-2 zone district.
Gillette asked how staff how they felt about the removal of conditions.
Roy stated that staff is hesitant to remove the first condition but could be ok
August 17, 2021 - Page 256 of 286
with it with an inspection to ensure the storage space is not used for
commercial in the meantime. Staff is ok with the removal of the second
condition.
Gillette stated that he also would like Staff to look into removing this limit on
commercial in the PA -2 district in order to encourage more commercial.
Commissioner Pratt was in agreement with the removal of the first two
conditions.
Perez stated that she preferred to keep the conditions as a way to
encourage the development of an employee housing unit sooner.

1. The applicant shall obtain the certificate of occupancy for the E HU
building before requesting a certificate of occupancy for the hotel
addition.
2. Approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail
approval of an associated design review application.
3. Applicant shall obtain approval from Holy Cross to vacate the
easement under the proposed hotel addition before a building permit
is issued for the hotel addition.
4. Applicant shall set aside two (2) three-bedroom units and two (2) one-
bedroom units in the E HU building not to be included in the mitigation
bank.
5. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall
record deed restrictions with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder,
in a format approved by the Town Attorney, for the Type I I I Employee
Housing Units.
6. Applicant shall provide public art onsite with a value or at least
$32,500 and the installation of the public art shall be completed before
a certificate of occupancy for the hotel addition is granted.
7. The Applicant shall correct plans to meet the comments from the Fire
Department for phase one and phase two prior to the submittal for a
building permit for each respective phase of development.
8. Applicant shall update all plan pages to match the latest submission
prior to the submittal for the Design Review Board application for

each phase of development.
9. This application is contingent upon the approval of the conditional use
permit (P E C21-0019) and minor subdivision (P E C21-0030) being
approved.
10. The initial phase of construction shall begin within three (3) years
from the time of the approval of this S D D Major Amendment, P E C21-
0018, with the construction of the second phase to begin prior to
August 17, 2026.
Planner Roy stated that the S D D number was altered due to a clerical error
where S D D No. 42 had already been used. There are three portions of the
amendment. The first would create a phasing plan for the two buildings. The
second would remove some original conditions of approval that are either no
longer relevant or already achieved. The third would establish a timeframe
for the phasing. Greg next discussed, with maps, the phasing plan for the
development.
Gillette asked if the hotel would stay open in Phase 2.
Mauriello stated that it would.
Gillette asked if there would also still be parking for the hotel in this phase.
Mauriello stated that there would always be parking during construction.
Perez asked if there would be any loss of E HUs during the phasing plan and
also asked if the surrounding neighbors had been notified of this change. I t
was an important condition of approval at the time that everything be
developed at once to reduce the overall time of construction for surrounding
neighbors.
Mauriello stated that there would be no loss of E HUs. He also stated that the
neighbors had been notified about the changes being proposed as part of
this meeting. They did not feel that additional public outreach was needed.
The phasing does not provide any risk for the town even if the expansion of
the hotel is abandoned.
Pratt asked what the procedure was for the extension of an S D D approval
period.
Roy stated that there is not establish procedure for an extension, but it would
be handled through this amendment process.
Mauriello gave a few examples of other projects that had been granted an
extension. He also doesn’t believe that an extension would run afoul of the
upcoming West Vail Master Plan.
Roy stated that currently the construction of and S D D normally must start
within three years. The applicant is proposing a six year approval period.
Staff would suggest that the three year approval period simply reset with this
approval, should this amendment be approved. Staff has concerns about a
code change that may happen within six years. There is no specific change
anticipated, but over the course of six years code changes are likely to
happen throughout the code. The applicant is also proposing that the one
year grace period to start the second phase of the project be removed.
Gillette asked the applicant to provide more argument for the elimination of
August 17, 2021 - Page 258 of 286
the one year grace period.
Mauriello stated that once the E HU building is started they would have one
year to start the expansion of the hotel. This is a tight time period to meet.
Gillette asked if this would give them unlimited time to pursue the hotel
expansion then.
Roy clarified that the hotel would be required to start construction within the
overall S D D approval period.
Commissioner Kjesbo stated that he was comfortable with the proposal due
to the fact that the E HUs would be built up-front.
Kurz was concerned that the larger approval period would result in a site that
is under a construction state for upwards of a ten year period.
Mauriello argued that the development starting from the W est Vail Master
Plan might also take 10+ years.
Gillette clarified this ten year construction statement. The construction would
not take ten years, it may simply take almost six years to start and then a few
more years to finish.
Commissioner Seibert stated that he wasn’t sure that the first phase should
be allowed to be extended to six years to start. I s ok with the hotel taking
more then a year after the E HU building to start. Stated that he would rather
hear a reason why the E HU building can’t start in three years if it cannot in
that time period.
Mauriello stated that he is ok with the E HU building being required to start
within three years as long as the hotel component still has a six year
approval.
Kjesbo stated that he likes that proposal. He also mentioned that ultimately
the P E C would be highly likely to approve an extension for the E HU
construction anyway.
Pratt stated that he is in favor of removing the one year phasing requirement
and only resetting the project to a three year approval starting on this
approval.
Mauriello stated that developers can generally save more money and time
when they do not need to be put through this approval process so frequently.
Gillette stated that he likes the three year for E HUs and three more years for
the hotel proposal the best.
Roy continued to discuss the proposed changes to the previous conditions
of approval in detail. Of note, Staff recommends that Fire department
approval be addressed prior to the approval of a building permit for each
stage. Staff is recommending approval with some changes to proposed
conditions.
Mauriello stated that the applicant is ok with the updated conditions.
No public comment.

Townhomes were intended to be rezoned to this zone district. This
development does comply with the requirements of the V V T district. Staff is
recommending approval of this rezoning.
Chairman Kurz asked a question about the if the buildings to east are any
different from these units under consideration.
Roy stated that those units to the east were also compliant with the V V T

Public Comment
Ericson Shirley stated that he was an owner of a unit and was in support of
the rezoning. Thinks that these townhomes should not be held to the

SUBJECT: 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 303 Gore Creek Drive which
is composed of Vail Village Filing 1 Block 5 Lots 1-6, from the High

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Townhouse Condominium Association, represented by Mauriello
Planning Group, is requesting 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 303 Gore Creek Drive, which is composed of Vail
Village Filing 1 Block 5 Lots 1-6, from High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF) District to
the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District.
Based upon Staff’s review of the criteria outline in Section Vl of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to rezone Vail Village Filing 1 Block 5 Lots 1-6 to the Vail
Village Townhouse District. Currently the site is developed with eleven condominium
August 17, 2021 - Page 262 of 286
Town of Vail Page 2
units set in a townhouse style development with parking backing onto the Gore Creek
right-of-way.
Included with this memorandum are the following for review by the commission:
A. Vicinity Map
B. Applicant Narrative, 5-26-2021
C. Proposed Rezoning Map
II. BACKGROUND
This area was originally annexed into the Town of Vail as part of a court order in 1963.
This was followed by the parcel being zoned High Density Multiple-Family as part of
Ordinance 8, Series of 1973. Since this property has been in the HDMF district there
have been six variances that have been granted to the units located on these lots. The
variances largely relate to the setbacks and the difficulty the individual lots had with
meeting side setbacks in this district and unit configuration.
August 17, 2021 - Page 263 of 286
Town of Vail Page 3
On August 21, 2012 the Vail Town council adopted Ordinance No. 2 Series of 2012
establishing the Vail Village Townhouse Zone District. The Vail Village townhouse
(VVT) District was adopted following numerous public hearings before the Planning and
Environmental Commission and the Town Council. At first it was a private property
owner initiated application and later, as a Community Developmen t staff led effort. This
zone district was established for the following purpose:
1. To provide for the regulation of existing townhouse properties in Vail Village that
were legally non-conforming in regard to the provisions of the High Density
Multiple-Family District.
2. To create incentives for the redevelopment of the existing townhouse properties
in Vail Village.
3. To preserve the existing character of the townhouse properties in Vail Village and
the existing character of the neighborhood.
In 2014 the Vail Rowhouses 7-13 and Texas Townhomes went through the rezoning
process to change the zoning on their lots from HDMF to the VVT district.
III. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Staff believes that following provisions of the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail Village Master
Plan and the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review of this proposal:

VI. REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the Planning
and environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested zone district boundary amendment:
Zone District Boundary Amendment Factors
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.
The proposed zone district amendment is supported by the Vail comprehensive
plan and Vail Village Master Plan as noted in section lll above. The
Comprehensive plan values quality development and redevelopment
opportunities throughout the town. The Vail Village Master Plan specifically calls
out this parcel of land as one that would qualify to be rezoned to the VVT district.
Other applicable goals met by this application include the following Land Use
Plan goals:
1.3 Quality development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
The proposed zone district amendment is suitable to the existing and potential
surrounding land uses as set out in the Town’s adopted planning documents.
The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this area as a unique are that is made
up of mostly multi-family projects with limited commercial. It states that this
location is prime for redevelopment and infill development as opportunities arise
and that flexibility will be needed in order to allow a property such as this to
redevelop. It specifically states:
“This flexibility may be achieved through the rezoning to the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District.”
August 17, 2021 - Page 274 of 286
Town of Vail Page 14
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with
municipal development objectives.
The proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the adjacent zoning on
the property to the East. This property is the Vail Rowhouses, which are a set of
townhomes and were rezoned to VVT in 2014. With the river to the north and
commercial zoning to the south and west, this area serves as a transition from
the residential use to the east to this commercial area. The use on this site will
not change with this rezoning but will be coming in line with the goals of the Vail
Village Master Plan.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
The proposed zone district amendment provides the appropriate incentives for
the orderly redevelopment of the subject properties. The development standards
of the VVT district, working with the VVT specific design considerations of the
Vail Village master Plan, will provide for appropriate, compatible development.
This zoning amendment does not result in the granting of privilege nor is it
incompatible with the Vail Village Master Plan, two tests for a determination of
spot zoning.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
As this area is currently developed and any development proposed under the
new zone district would have to meet the environmental guidelines set forth in
Town Code. The proposed zoning change to this existing development would
not negatively affect riparian corridors, air quality, water quality, or other
environmental aspects.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the
purpose statement of the proposed zone district.
August 17, 2021 - Page 275 of 286
Town of Vail Page 15
The proposed zone district amendment is consistent with the VVT zone district’s
purpose, as it was established to regulate the existing townhome properties that
are legally non-conforming in the HDMF district. The purpose also calls out this
property as seen below:
“This zone district was specifically developed to only be applied to the properties
known at the time of the establishment of this district as the Vail townhouses
condominium . . . “
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
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.
The property was zoned HDMF in 1973 and the VVT district was only established
in 2012 as a result of the Vail Village Master Plan. This shows how the Town has
evolved and developed a specific plan for this area which includes the rezoning
of this property.
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed rezoning.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Vail Village Master Plan:
“There are several existing townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek Sub-
Area, including the Vail Townhouse condominium, Vail Row houses, Vail
Trails Chalets, Vail Trails East, and Texas Townhomes.”
“These townhouse properties are nonconforming with the many
development standards (including, but not limited to density, GRFA, setbacks,
site coverage, landscape area) of the HDMF District. It is recommended that
greater flexibility with the development standards may be necessary to allow
these townhouse projects to redevelop. This flexibility may be achieved
through the rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District.”
