6. Presentations / Discussion
September 7, 2021 - Page 7 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2021 Page 3
6.1. Discussion about Proposed Tax Measures for November Ballot as Dedicated
Funding for Housing and Year-Round Marketing/Special Events Initiatives
Presenter(s): Scott Robson, Town Manager, George Ruther, Housing Director, Mia Vlaar,
Economic Development Director, Patty McKenny, Assistant Town Manager
Action Requested of Council: The Town Council is asked to provide direction about whether to
proceed with drafting resolutions and final ballot language that would address the tax proposals
for dedicated revenue sources for housing (sales tax increase considered by Vail Town Council)
and year-round marketing/special events (marketing and promotion tax increased to be
considered by Vail Local Marketing District).
Background: 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 would need to approve ballot text with resolutions at their
next council meeting, August 17, to meet the ballot certification deadline. 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.
Robson introduced the topic stating council was being 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 would need to approve ballot text with
resolutions at their next council meeting, August 17, to meet the ballot certification deadline.
Polling results showed Vail voters were somewhat favorable for a half-cent sales tax increase to
support housing initiatives. Robson stated staff estimated a .05 cent additional tax rate would
generate approximately $4.3 million on $34.1 million of sales. A 2.2% increase in the lodging
tax for year-round marketing and events was also probed and registered 54% support by
registered voters surveyed. Robson shared that doubling of the lodging tax from 1.4% to 2.8%
would raise an additional $4.0M; or increasing the lodging tax from 1.4% to 3.6% would raise an
incremental $6.2M.
Bruno noted the voter opinion survey overwhelmingly identified housing as a crisis. She also
understands the long-term benefits of an increased lodging tax for marketing and events.
Coggin asked about ballot question wording on both topics, including if housing dollars can be
spent outside the town boundaries. Robson stated the current 1.4% lodging tax was restricted
to marketing and promotion and any increase would need to continue to be used that way per
state statute. Council had asked earlier if an increase in lodging tax could be used for housing.
Foley suggested contemplating a new lodging tax to be used for housing in place of the
proposed half-cent sales tax.
All council members were in support of moving forward and requested the Town Attorney
prepare resolutions with the ballot questions for the august 14 meeting for their consideration.

7. Public Hearings
7.1. Appeal of a decision by the Design Review Board
Presenter(s): Greg Roy, Planner
Action Requested of Council: Overturn, uphold, or uphold with modifications.
Background: An appeal, pursuant to Section 12-3-3 Appeals, Vail Town Code, of the final
decision of the Town of Vail Design Review Board on July 7, 2021, denying a request for design
approval for the new construction of the Residence at Main Vail (DRB21-0233).
Staff Recommendation: The Vail Town Council must uphold, overturn, or overturn with
modifications, the Design Review Board's July 7, 2021 decision.
Mayor Pro Tem Langmaid opened the public hearing due to May Chapin appearing virtually.
Roy stated the Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development, requested the review of a
New Construction Design Review Board application, pursuant to Section 12-11-3, Vail Town
Code, for a new residential development located at 129 North Frontage Road West/ Lot 3,
Middle Creek Subdivision, A Resubdivision of Lot 1. The Design Review Board, by a vote of 3-1,
denied the subject application on July 7, 2021.
George Ruther, Housing Director; and Michael O’ Connor, Triumph Development West LLC,
appeared on behalf of the applicant, the Town of Vail, and provided council with an overview of
the Design Review Board’s process for the Town’s housing project, Residences of Main Vail.
March 15, 2021, on behalf of the Town of Vail, Triumph Development West, LLC
submitted complete applications to the Town of Vail Community Development
hereinafter referred to as PEC21-0015/0016 and DRB21-0233.
April 21, 2021, the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC) held a
public hearing on PEC21-0015/0016, and by a vote of 5-1, granted entitlement rights to
the Residences at Main Vail Approved Development Plan.
July 6, 2021, Design Review Board member John Rediker appeared before the Vail
Town Council urging the Vail Town Council to spend more money on the architectural
design of the proposed Residences at Main Vail, to stop rushing the project forward, and
forewarned that if not, it was likely the application would be denied by the Design Review
Board the following day, or at best, receive a 2 -2 vote.
July 7, 2021, the Town of Vail Design Review Board held a final public hearing on
the design application DRB21-0233 and by a vote of 3-1 denied the design review
application. In doing so, and according to the recorded public record, in sum, the
following reasons for denial were cited to and supported by a majority of the Design
Review Board:
• The bulk and mass of the proposed building was not compatible with the
topography of the development site. The building should set up the hillside
into the area of 40% or greater slopes and result in a building design more
like the Middle Creek at Vail apartments.
• The applicant needed to spend more money on the architectural design of the
building. The building was cheap with no on-site parking.
• The Town was turning the North Frontage Road into employee housing row and
ruining the community. The whole north side of the Town would be degraded.
September 7, 2021 - Page 9 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2021 Page 5
• Rather than one single structure, the building needed to be broken down into
two or three smaller, shorter buildings, even if it meant reducing density
• This building (homes for local residents) does not belong at the front entrance
to Vail. It’ll be the first thing people would see when they come into the Town.
• Add more stone, board and batten siding, and vertical elements.
• Residences at Main Vail was a podium-style building that doesn’t fit in Vail. It’s
not the Vail brand.
July 14, 2021, the Town of Vail as applicant filed an appeal of the Design Review
Board’s decision to deny design review application DRB21-0233. Specifically, the
appellant believed the Town of Vail Design Review Board failed to properly apply the
adopted design review standards and guidelines and demonstrated its willingness to act
outside the scope of the Board’s purview in voting to deny the Residences at Main Vail
design review application DRB21-0233
Mike Foster, Triumph Development West LLC, reviewed site plans to demonstrate the designs
followed the DRB guidelines.
Compatibility of design of the Residences at Main Vail was achieved through proper
scale, building proportions, site planning, landscaping, and building materials and colors.
The structures and accessways are responsive to the existing topography which was
why the design team relied upon the use of the existing driveway alignment to gain
vehicular access to the site
Construction on the site was to be limited to the lower portion of the site to preserve the
steep slopes and existing vegetation, as recommended by the design guidelines.
The proposed building materials are predominately natural such as wood siding and
native stone.
Exterior wall materials (stone and stucco) extend down to finished grade to eliminate
unfinished concrete walls
The assemblage of exterior wall materials and architectural relief was added to the
building facades to reinforce the architectural design guideline of creating a base,
middle, and top to the building.
The proposed exterior colors are compatible with the site and surrounding buildings.
An arrangement of divided light windows has been added to create visual interest and
introduce a design element seen typically throughout Vail
The proposed roof material is 30-year asphalt shingles to be installed atop a Class A
fire-rated roof assembly.
A +/- 55kw solar array is proposed atop the south facing roof of the building to offset
energy consumption through onsite energy production.
Deep eaves and overhangs are depicted on the proposed elevations to further protect
the building and residents from the elements as well as add architectural interest to the
building facades.
The east/west oriented main roof ridge has been designed to break up an otherwise long
linear roof line, both horizontally and vertically, and gabled roof ends have been added
to interrupt the south facing eave line of the building
A double member fascia has been designed to provide relief and texture to the roof eave
line consistent with the design guidelines.
An accessory structure is proposed to accommodate onsite storage of trash and
recycling.
The utility meter locations are prescribed at the direction of the utility services providers
September 7, 2021 - Page 10 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2021 Page 6
The proposed landscape plan was designed consistent with the recommendations of the
design standards and guidelines with additional focus on complying with the regulations
of the urban wildland fire interface.
The plant materials selected for the landscape plan are all indigenous to the Rocky
Mountain alpine and sub-alpine zones
The proposed final grading of the site does not negative impact adjacent uses or sites as
required by the design review standards.
All proposed retaining walls have been designed with textured and color tinted materials
consistent with the adopted design review guidelines.
Architectural projections, such as decks, balconies, roof eaves and roof overhangs have
been thoughtfully incorporated into the building design
Consistent with the adopted standards for outdoor lighting, all exterior lighting would
include fully cut off fixtures and be low cost, low energy consumptive LED fixtures.
Public comment was called.
Doug Cahill, chairman of the DRB, explained how the DRB approached its review which was
based on how the design fits the site and general compatibility.
John Rediker, DRB member, expressed concerns about the building materials incorporated in
the design. Rediker stated the materials didn’t meet the Vail brand.
Kaye Ferry, Vail resident, would like to see the design maximize the allowed space and put
more units. Ferry noted Vail needs housing.
Matt Morgan, Vail business owner, stated housing was critical for employees. He encouraged
council to stop talking about housing issues and take action.
Jonathan Stauffer, Vail resident, stated the building needed to look like it belonged at the
gateway to the town.
Joseph Stauffer, Vail resident, stated the project needed to fit Vail’s alpine architecture.
Kim Rediker, Vail resident, stated the building needed more work and should be something the
town is proud of since it would be located at the entrance.
Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership, felt the building exceeded expectations but would like to
see more density.
Johannes Faessler, Vail resident, stated current DRB guidelines don't work for employee
housing developments. He felt a different lens was needed and compromises are in order.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, stated council had time to get it right and to uphold
the DRB’s decision
Peter Cope, DRB member, said the board was bound by the design standards it was appointed
to uphold.
Public comment was closed.
September 7, 2021 - Page 11 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2021 Page 7
Council had no questions for staff or the appellant representatives.
Mason stated she would be voting to overturn the DRB’s decision. She felt the guidelines were
upheld.
Coggin agreed with Mason and felt the project was better in design ten where it began.
Stockmar stated he supported the project but would not vote to overturn the DRB’s decision. He
felt the project was not compatible pursuant to 14-10-2 General Compatibility and 14-10-3 Site
Planning
Foley stated the DRB made the correct decision, and he would not be voting in favor of
overturning that decision.
Chapin stated he felt the guidelines were met and that he as in favor of overturing the DRB’s
decision.
Langmaid agreed with Chapin that the design does meet all design guide lines.
Bruno made a motion to overturn the July 7, 2021 decision of the Design Review Board, finding
the submitted New Construction for the 129 North Frontage Road West complies with Title 14,
Chapter 10, Vail Town Code and to incorporate the additional design elements that were
presented; Coggin seconded the motion passed (5-2*Stockmar and Foley opposed).
There being no further business to come before the council, Foley moved to adjourn the
meeting; Bruno seconded the motion which passed (7-0) and the meeting adjourned at 8:35
p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

6. Town Manager Report
6.1. Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Update
Robson shared with council that a dismount zone was being implemented on Bridge Street and
Gore Creek Drive in Vail Village effectively immediately due to the volume of bikes and conflicts
with pedestrian travel. All council members were in support of the implementation.
6.2. Update on Residence Main Vail Project Schedule (for work done August 16 and
November 2, 2021)
Robson stated the entitlement and design process of the project costed the town approximately
$668,0000; which he was glad to announce was $22,000 under budget. Demolition, site work
and shoring would begin Oct. 11. Construction would be suspended during winter season and
the second phase would begin March 72 units ready for occupancy by spring of 2023.
Teachers and parents were excited the new, temporary home for Children's Garden of Learning
would be ready for occupancy by Oct. 5.

7. Action Items
7.1. Resolution No. 36, Series 2021, A Resolution of the Vail Town Council submitting
a ballot issue to the registered electors of the Town at the Town's Regular Election on
November 2, 2021
Presenter(s): Scott Robson, Town Manager, David Flaherty, Magellan Strategies and David
Cunningham, Summit Information Services
Action Requested of Council: Review resolution outlining ballot question and make
determination about submitting the question to the Vail voters in the upcoming November 2
election.
Background: Town Council will consider the resolution addressing a ballot question for
increasing the town's existing sales tax by .05% (from 4.0% to 4.5%), to take effect on January
1, 2022; except that food for home consumption shall be exempt from such tax increase; with
the revenues from such tax increase to be used to fund housing initiatives, housing
developments and housing programs and related activities inside and outside the town.
Robson began the discussion noting there were 3 possible November 2, 2021 ballot questions
being posed for consideration:
1. A half-cent sales tax for a dedicated housing source
2. A new 1.6% lodging tax to fund housing
3. A 2.2% increase in the promotion and marketing tax to fund marketing and events.
A short-term rental study would be coming out later this fall or early winter that he thought would
demonstrate possible fee changes. Those fee increase would also be applied to the housing
fund.
Foley suggested withdrawing Resolution No. 37, Series of 2021 since there was a lack of
support from the lodging community. All council members agreed.
Flaherty reviewed Resolution No. 36, Series of 2021 with council stating 57% of Vail voters
supported an increase to the sales tax of .05% that would apply to both residents and guests
when purchasing goods and services in Vail. Per $100 purchase, this incremental tax increase
would cost guests and residents 50 cents. Food for home consumption would be exempt.
Robson committed to having outreach meetings with citizens prior to the November 2 election to
educate and answer questions around what the short-term housing priorities and needs are
such as the redevelopment of Timber Ridge, the Vail InDeed Program, CDOT parcels etc. The
longer term is planning efforts on Land Use Plan on where long-term housing projects could go.
Flaherty shared the voter opinion poll showed slightly less support for a proposed 2.2% increase
in the promotion and marketing tax to fund a year-round marketing effort and special events.
The newly proposed lodging tax would levy 1.6% of the total purchase price paid and
September 7, 2021 - Page 17 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 17, 2021 Page 5
impacts overnight guests staying in Vail’s lodging. It was 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. Flaherty noted a significant disadvantage of moving forward with this ballot
measure was that questions were not included as part of the online voter opinion survey of and
there was no knowledge of what level of support the question would get.
Robson stated the intention of the 2.2% promotion and marketing tax would focus on quality not
quantity and provide a long-term competitive advantage for Vail. It was not about bringing more
people into the valley but more about doing it right with the right size and right fit.
Coggin was in support of raising tax for a reason and housing was the specific purpose. He was
not supportive of the 2.2% tax due to the lack of support in the polls.
Bruno agreed with Coggin and would like to focus working on the housing issues at this time.
Chapin shared he had not heard any support from the public for the 2.2% tax increase. He
knows marketing needs are there, but it was not the appropriate time to bring this tax increase
to the voters.
Stockmar agreed with Chapin.
Langmaid noted marketing was not just for attracting guests but also targeting messages of how
we want people to act when they are here. She too agrees the marketing tax should come back
at a different election. She supported the .05% sales tax.
Mason was not in favor of the marketing tax but was supportive of the sales tax to go towards a
sustainable housing fund.
Foley agreed with everyone’s statement but would like to look at the wording for the marketing
fund and where funds can be applied.
Public comment was called.
Kaye Ferry, Vail resident, would like to see the wording ensures the tax is used for Vail
employees, a sunset date and use wording for what it going to be used exactly for.
Mire explained the deed restriction the town puts on an employee housing structure could
dictate what type of employees live within the buildings.
Bob Armour, Vail resident, asked if the new sales tax being proposed would free up dollars to
put back in the general fund. He felt the Vail voters would like that.
Steve Lindstrom, chair of the Vail Local Housing Authority, stated he was in support for the half-
cent sales tax ballot question for housing.
Public comment was closed.
Council discussed the difference of a 5-year sunset compared to a 30-year sunset.
September 7, 2021 - Page 18 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 17, 2021 Page 6
Bruno made a motion to approve Resolution No. 36, Series of 2021 with the addition of a 30-
year sunset date effective January 1, 2022; Coggin seconded the motion passed (7-0).
7.2. Resolution No. 37, Series of 2021, A Resolution of the Vail Town Council
submitting a ballot issue to the registered electors of the Town at the Town's Regular
Election on November 2, 2021
Presenter(s): Scott Robson, Town Manager, David Flaherty, Magellan Strategies and David
Cunningham, Summit Information Services
Action Requested of Council: Review resolution outlining ballot question and make
determination about submitting the question to the Vail voters in the upcoming November 2
election.
Background: Town Council will consider the resolution addressing a ballot question for imposing
a new tax, that would levy a new lodging tax of 1.6% of the total purchase price paid, charged or
received for any hotel room, motel room, lodging room, lodging house room, motor hotel room,
guest house room, guest ranch room, trailer coach, mobile home, auto camp, short-term rental,
or other similar temporary accommodation of less than 30 consecutive days within the town,
with the revenues from such tax increase to be used to fund housing initiatives, housing
developments and housing programs and related activities inside and outside the town.
**During the discussion of Resolution No. 36, Series of 2021; Foley suggested withdrawing
Resolution No. 37, Series of 2021. All council members agreed.
8. Public Hearings
8.1. Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2021 - An Ordinance Approving Amendments to
Special Development District No. 43, Highline Double Tree
Presenter(s): Greg Roy, Planner
Action Requested of Council: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 16,
Series of 2021, upon first reading.
Background: The PEC heard an application for a minor subdivision on the Highline Double Tree
property on March 8th 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.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 16, Series
of 2021, upon first reading.
Roy quickly reviewed Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2021 with council stating the applicant,
TNFREF lll Bravo Vail LLC, was requesting approval for a major amendment to Special
Development District (SDD) No. 43, Highline Doubletree, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to create a phasing plan, clarify conditions, and
September 7, 2021 - Page 19 of 262
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 17, 2021 Page 7
request an extension to the approval period. 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 was to amend the original conditions of
approval. Some have been completed, and others are no longer relevant. The third change was
to extend the approval period. The standard approval period was three years from approval of
the SDD.
Council had no questions.
There was no public comment.
Coggin made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2021 upon first reading; Bruno
seconded the motion passed (7-0).
8.2. Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021 - An Ordinance Rezoning Vail Village Filing 1,
Block 5, Lots 1-6 from High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF) to the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District
Presenter(s): Greg Roy, Planner
Action Requested of Council: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 17,
Series of 2021, upon first reading.
Background: 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. 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.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 17, Series
of 2021, upon first reading.
Roy quickly reviewed Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021 with council. The applicant, Vail
Townhouse Condominium Association, was requesting approval of 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. 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 had been in the HDMF district there had been six variances that had 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
Council had no questions.
There was no public comment.

Bruno made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021 upon first reading; Stockmar
seconded the motion passed (7-0).
There being no further business to come before the council, Foley moved to adjourn the
meeting; Coggin seconded the motion which passed (7-0) and the meeting adjourned at 8:38
p.m.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
P URPOSE AND SCOPE
● Multidisciplinary approach to screen and prioritize concerning incidents for level of potential risk, and determine what options are appropriate before and throughout interactions by sharing resources.
● Identify threats from persons or events that promote need for risk assessment and incident management, particularly to intervene with those who appear to be preparing for an act of targeted violence.
● De-escalation of school and workplace environments that reduces behavioral disruption prior to occurrence. INTENT
THREAT ASSESSMENT WILL BE A STRATEGIC FORUM TO GATHER AND UTILIZE PREVENTION AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO THOSE WHO ARE IN OUR SYSTEMS FREQUENTLY WITHOUT THE PROPER WRAPAROUND LEVEL OF CARE.
INVOLVED PARTIES This team is comprised of community partners from Vail Health, Public Health, Eagle County School District, Vail Mountain School, Speak Up Reach Out, Hope Center, Law Enforcement to include School Resource Officers, Behavioral Health, and the District Attorney's office.
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING Threat assessment is a systematic process designed to:
• Identify individual(s) or situation(s) where behavior causes concern for violence and capacity to carry out a threat, (i.e. determine whether an individual poses a threat for harm or violence to themselves or others.);
• Gather the most relevant information about an individual’s communications and behaviors, negative or stressful events the individual has experienced, and resources the individual possesses to overcome those setbacks and challenges;
• Collect and share this relevant information in a lawful and ethical manner, including complying with relevant federal and state privacy laws;
• Assess the individual(s) or situation(s) in context based on the totality of information available; and

Memo
September 7, 2021 - Page 39 of 262
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: September 7, 2021
Subject: Residences at Main Vail – Two-phased Approach to Development
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the Vail Town Council of the revised approach to the
construction management of the development of the Residences at Main Vail. This revised
approach to development aligns with the summary of the project schedule, presented to the Vail
Town Council on August 17.
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. Most recently, an updated project
schedule was shared with the Vail Town Council which included a first phase of demolition, site
work and shoring occurring from October 11 through December 17, 2021 followed by a second
phase of construction restarting on or about March 14, 2022, weather permitting, with a final
completion date of May 30, 2023. Since the presentation of information on August 17, the
development team has further refined the construction management and means and methods
approaches for completing the construction work.
3. REVISED APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
A revised approach to the development of the Residences at Main Vail has been prepared. The
development team has partnered to formulate a revised approach to implement the two distinct
phases of construction presented on August 17. This newly planned approach to the
construction of the Residences at Main Vail is beneficial for the following reasons:
1) results in a +/-$1M savings in the total development cost of the project,
2) reduces the development risk of the project,
3) is responsive to the current uncertainties in the construction industry and supply chain, and
4) ensures the project schedule is not negatively impacted.
In sum, within the 6% development fee paid to Triumph Development, Triumph will now manage
and administer, acting as a developer/general contractor, the first phase of construction to
include demolition, site work and shoring occurring from October 11 through December 17,
2021. The scope of work and magnitude of construction is well within Triumph’s capabilities,
qualifications, and available resources. The second phase of construction will continue to be
September 7, 2021 - Page 40 of 262
Town of Vail Page 2
completed in partnership with an equally qualified general contractor to construct the vertical
improvement restarting on or about March 14, 2022, weather permitting, and will be completed
by May 30, 2023.
The advantages to the revised approach include:
• the construction project remains on track to begin in the fall of 2021.
• realizes 3 months of savings (+/- $150K) on the cost of general conditions and general
contractor overhead.
• there is no added construction management cost of the first phase of construction as this
expense is now included within the 6% developer fee.
• allows the Town and Triumph Development to execute the final development agreement
after the final building permit set of plans have been approved and issued.
• increases the accuracy in establishing the total cost of the project by allowing the project
to be bid by the subcontractors closer to the actual start of vertical construction.
• reduces the Town’s exposure to unforeseen development risk and uncertainties in the
market and materials supply chain.
• substantially reduces the amount of contingency funds required to build the project.
• 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.
The following deal points and terms highlight a future development deal structure:
• Total Project Development Cost – $25M (estimated)
• Ownership of the Fee Title– Town of Vail
• Ownership of the Improvements – Town of Vail
• Financing – 100% Town of Vail Tax Exempt Bonds/Reserves
• Financing Term – 30-year amortization
• Interest Rate – 2.7%, depending on length of term and date of lock
• 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
Town staff asks that the Vail Town Council acknowledges acceptance of the revised approach
to construction of the Residences at Main Vail. With acceptance from Town Council, the revised
approach to construction will be incorporated into the proposed final construction budget and
development agreements.

To: Town Council
From: Greg Hall, Department of Public Works Scott Robson Town Manager
Date: September 7, 2021
Subject: Regional Transit Authority Memorandum of Understanding Resolution Number 40,
Series 2021.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to have the Town Council review and approve the Town of
Vail’s involvement with the ongoing effort to form a Regional Transit Authority (RTA). This
includes:
• Approval of Resolution 40, Series 2021, Regional Transit Authority Memorandum
of Understanding
• Authorize the town of Vail contribution to phase one of the project of $ 10,000.
II. BACKGROUND
This memorandum provides an overview and background about efforts to pursue
a potential regional transit authority (“RTA”) to serve the Eagle River Valley. The attached
Memorandum of Understanding Establishing a Regional Transit Authority Formation
Committee (“MOU”) is the culmination of efforts over the last year at the Mayors and
Managers meetings and the efforts of an Ad Hoc Regional Transit Optimization
Committee that was formed out of a Mayors and Managers Meeting. We recognize
that there are many questions posed by the formation of an RTA. The attached MOU is
intended to embark on the next level of structured collaboration and focus to understand
the details of a potential RTA and implement a comprehensive outreach program to
inform stakeholders and receive stakeholder input.
The MOU proposes the formation of an RTA Formation Committee, an RTA Technical
Committee, and an RTA Community Stakeholders Committee. Eagle County, the Town
of Vail and the Town of Avon are contemplated to fund Phase I of planning costs so that
this effort can proceed by retaining a community outreach facilitator by October. Phase II
contemplates funding contributions by all municipalities that would participate in this RTA
planning effort in 2022. This effort is anticipated and desired to lead up to an in
November of 2022 to approve an RTA and may potentially include a tax funding question
to support enhancements to regional transit services. The contemplated RTA would also
include dedicated funding to support the Eagle Air Alliance and subsidies to secure new
direct flights to Eagle County Regional Airport.

RTA FORMATION COMMITTEE:
The RTA Formation Committee is composed of one representative of Eagle County and
each municipality in Eagle County (not including Basalt). Monthly meetings will be
scheduled for the RTA Formation Committee to review information, identify details and
questions to address, provide input on the community stakeholder process, and
ultimately provide direction on an RTA to be referred to voters. The MOU sets forth a list
of minimum requirements in Paragraph 3 which tracks state statute. We would like to
schedule the first RTA Formation Committee meeting in September to provide
background information on the formation of an RTA as well as other information that has
been gathered over the last year.
RTA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE:
The RTA Technical Committee is a continuation of the Ad Hoc Regional
Transit Optimization Committee that met over the last year with the addition of David
Reid who would represent the Eagle County Regional Airport. The role of the RTA
Technical Committee is to research information on estimated costs and logistics
associated with various transit enhancement ideas.
RTA COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTEE:
This committee is envisioned to be open and inclusive to all the existing groups in the
Eagle River Valley, and beyond such as Lake County and Leadville. The purpose is to
facilitate community involvement.
III. ACTION REQUESTED BY COUNCIL
Approve Resolution 40, Series 2021. authorizing the execution of the Regional Transit
Authority Memorandum of Understanding
Approve the Town of Vail contribution of $10000 for the Phase 1 work and budget for
2022 the Town of Vail’s contribution to phase 2 work estimated at $ 60,000.

A favorable interest rate environment in the public sector has afforded the town an opportunity
to move forward with the construction of 72 residential rental units when the private developer
was experiencing difficulties providing financing. As of August 25, the 30-year COP was
estimated with an interest rate of 2.7% (please note this is not a locked in rate). At this rate,
average annual debt service would cost the project approximately $1.2 million, with total interest
cost over the life of the loan of $15.8 million. The debt service payments will be covered by the
rental income generated at the Residences at Main Vail but will be guaranteed by the town’s
General Fund.
With the passing of this ordinance, staff will file with the Town Clerk’s office a “Preliminary Official
Statement” document. The primary function of the Official Statement is to disclose to initial
purchasers of the Certificates all material facts, such as information that a reasonable investor
likely would consider significant in the total mix of information available about the Certificates. It
contains information about revenue sources that are available to cover the annual debt service
and other pertinent financial information. The Official Statement serves as an information base
for rating agencies (and insurers) to obtain the best possible rating on the COPS. After the town
is assigned a rating, the Official Statement will be used by Piper Sandler, as Underwriter, in the
marketing of the COPS to the public. After closing on the COPS, the Official Statement will serve
as a guide for any required continuing disclosure documents in the future.
A Certificate of Participation, or “COP” is not considered long term debt for the town because it
is structure as an investment in a share of the improvements or infrastructure the town intends
to fund. The COP is the form used for this “lease-financing” contract where the investors are
paid back from lease payments.

The most recent lease-purchase agreement entered into by the town was a $15.2 million bank
placement to finance the Public Works Shops expansion and renovation. This was financed at
an interest rate of 1.76% over 15 years, with a total interest cost of $2.2 million. Prior to that,
the town had not financed any capital projects since 1991.
Summary of the estimated terms:
30-year tax-exempt Certificate of Participation
$25.3 million
Includes $25.0M in project costs and $234K in issuance costs
Interest rate of 2.7%
Total interest cost over life: $15.8M
Annual debt service $1.2M
Next Steps
Pending approval of this first reading, staff and underwriter will meet with the rating agency
within one week to receive a rating by week of September 13th. Second reading of this
ordinance is scheduled for September 21st. Two days later (September 23) the underwriter will
post the Preliminary Offering Statement (POS) and the town will close on the COP issue on
October 20th. Funds will be available to the town for reimbursement of project related expenses
after October 20th.

Section 7. Authorization to Execute Collateral Documents. The Mayor, the
Town Manager, the Finance Director, and other appropriate officials or employees of the Town

documents, instruments, and other papers and to perform all other acts that they deem necessary
or appropriate, in order to implement and carry out the transactions and other matters authorized

acts of any official of the Town, if so required by any documents in connection with the matters
authorized by this ordinance. The appropriate officers of the Town are authorized to execute on
behalf of the Town agreements concerning the deposit and investment of funds in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this ordinance. The execution of any instrument by the

by the Town of such instrument in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
Section 8. No General Obligation Debt. No provision of this ordinance, the
Lease, the Indenture, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, the Certificates or the Official
Statement shall be construed as creating or constituting a general obligation or other indebtedness
or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of any constitutional,
statutory, or Charter provision, nor a mandatory charge or requirement against the Town in any
ensuing fiscal year beyond the then current fiscal year. The Town shall not have any obligation to
make any payment with respect to the Certificates except in connection with the payment of the
Base Rentals and certain other payments under the Lease, which payments may be terminated by
the Town in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates
shall constitute a mandatory charge or requirement of the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond
the then current fiscal year or constitute or give rise to a general obligation or other indebtedness
or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of any constitutional,
statutory or Charter debt limitation and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect
Town debt or other financial obligation whatsoever. No provision of the Lease or the Certificates
shall be construed or interpreted as creating an unlawful delegation of governmental powers nor
as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the Town within the meaning of Sections 1 or 2 of
Article XI of the State Constitution. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates shall directly or
indirectly obligate the Town to make any payments beyond those budgeted and appropriated for
the Town’s then current fiscal year.
Section 9. Reasonableness of Rentals. The Council hereby determines and
declares that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place the Town under
an economic compulsion to renew the Lease or to exercise its option to purchase the Property
pursuant to the Lease. The Council hereby determines and declares that the period during which
the Town has an option to purchase the Property (i.e., the entire maximum term of the Lease) does
not exceed the remaining useful life of the Property.
Section 10. No Recourse against Officers and Agents. Pursuant to Section 11-
57-209 of the Supplemental Act, if a member of the Council, or any officer or agent of the Town
acts in good faith, no civil recourse shall be available against such member, officer, or agent for
payment of the principal, interest or prior redemption premiums on the Certificates. Such recourse
September 7, 2021 - Page 67 of 262
5
shall not be available either directly or indirectly through the Council or the Town, or otherwise,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise.
By the acceptance of the Certificates and as a part of the consideration of their sale or purchase,
any person purchasing or selling such certificate specifically waives any such recourse.
Section 11. Charter Controls. Pursuant to Article XX of the State Constitution
and the Charter, all State statutes that might otherwise apply in connection with the provisions of
this ordinance are hereby superseded to the extent of any inconsistencies or conflicts between the
provisions of this ordinance and the Sale Certificate authorized hereby and such statutes. Any
such inconsistency or conflict is intended by the Council and shall be deemed made pursuant to
the authority of Article XX of the State Constitution and the Charter.
Section 12. Repealer. All bylaws, orders, resolutions and ordinances of the
Town, or parts thereof, inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed to the extent only of such
inconsistency. This repealer shall not be construed to revive any other such bylaw, order,
resolution or ordinance of the Town, or part thereof, heretofore repealed.
Section 13. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or other
provision of this ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or
unenforceability of such section, subsection, paragraph, clause, or other provision shall not affect
any of the remaining provisions of this ordinance, the intent being that the same are severable.
Section 14. Effective Date, Recording and Authentication. A true copy of this
ordinance shall be numbered and recorded in the official records of the Town, authenticated by the
signatures of the Mayor and the Town Clerk, and published in accordance with the Charter and
the Town’s municipal code. In accordance with Section 4.9 of the Charter, this ordinance shall be
in full force and effect five days after final publication.

Subject: Designated dismount zone
My husband and I are in full support of the designated dismount zone ordinance.
We are owners of a Wall Street condo in the village and for years have observed the “close calls’” and collisions in
the village. Certainly the young children on bikes do not have the spatial judgement to avoid pedestrians or
vice/versa. Nor do the speedy adolescent/adults…. though they might disagree.
An aside….On June 10, I had an altercation with a scooter in Denver where there are no rules and loads of amateurs
and loads of scooters everywhere . It resulted in a broken femur on my part, emergency surgery, and subsequent
serious complications. Happened to be Denver, but could have been Vail.
The dismount ordinance only makes sense to avoid similar events. Not that much to ask . Enforcing….. a
challenge…. but a good one.
Thank you for our consideration on this issue.

Having almost been hit a couple of times on busy weekends downtown I am wondering what could be the argument
*against* dismount zones? The are infinite place to ride in the Valley “mounted”.
I do think the idea of “repeat offenders is, as a practical matter, a waste of time. I would expect to hear “gee I left my
ID at home/in my hotel, etc as a refrain, especially on strike 2. Just picks fine and stick to it.

IV. 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 of Vail Page 3
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. 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.
On August 17, 2021, Town Council passed Ordinance No. 16 on first reading.
V. 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
September 7, 2021 - Page 86 of 262
Town of Vail Page 4
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
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
September 7, 2021 - Page 87 of 262
Town of Vail Page 5
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
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 88 of 262
Town of Vail Page 6
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.

September 7, 2021 - Page 95 of 262
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;
Conversion of commercial space to create a 12 bedroom EHU dormitory;
Expansion of the conference room space by 4,590 sq. ft. for a total of 7,666 sq. ft.;
A new parking garage and revisions to the existing surface parking areas; and
Deed restricted employee housing building with 15 Type 3 units (for sale or rental units)
located on Lot 2.

The applicant is in the process of platting the property whereby Lot 1 is the hotel parcel and
Lot 2 is the workforce housing parcel per the plat shown below:
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 5
September 7, 2021 - Page 97 of 262
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.
Highline, A DoubleTree by Hilton 6
September 7, 2021 - Page 98 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 99 of 262
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.

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
September 7, 2021 - Page 104 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 105 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 110 of 262
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
amendment does not have any material affect on this criterion and is therefore
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 111 of 262
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.

2.Main Agenda
2.1.A request for review of a Minor Subdivision, pursuant to Title 13, Chapter 4,
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 177 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 178 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 179 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 180 of 262
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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 197 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 198 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 199 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 200 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 201 of 262
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.

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.
The Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
Zone District Boundary Amendment on July 26, 2021 where a recommendation for
approval was forwarded to the Vail Town Council by a vote of 4-0-2 (Pratt and Kjesbo
abstained).
On August 17, 2021 the Town Council held a public hearing on Ordinance No. 17,
Series of 2021 and pass the ordinance on first reading.
Please find the staff memorandum to the PEC as Attachment D, and the minutes from
the July 26 meeting (Attachment C) attached to this report.

D. Staff Memorandum, PEC21-0031
E. Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021
IV. 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 district.

V. 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.”
Staff finds that the proposed zone district amendment conforms to this criterion.
September 7, 2021 - Page 216 of 262
Town of Vail Page 4
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 217 of 262
Town of Vail Page 5
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.
Vl. RECOMMENDED MOTION
Should the Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021, upon
second reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council
pass the following motion:
“The Vail Town Council approves, on second 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
Townhouse (VVT) District and setting forth details in regard thereto.“
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2021, the
Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council makes the following
findings:
September 7, 2021 - Page 218 of 262

Vail Townhouse Condominiums 2
September 7, 2021 - Page 222 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 223 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 224 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 228 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 229 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 230 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 231 of 262
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:

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

remain, including stream setback requirements, hazard regulations, etc. If and
when redevelopment projects are proposed, all environmental impacts are
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 234 of 262
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.

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
Das Schone Filing 3, into the Highline Subdivision made up of two parcels,
Lot 1 (approximately 3.635 acres) and Lot 2 (approximately 0.313 acres),

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

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
September 7, 2021 - Page 237 of 262
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)

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
September 7, 2021 - Page 238 of 262
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 239 of 262
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.

Pratt is still in favor of maintaining the three year approval period for the
overall approval.

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.

Planner: Greg Roy
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
September 7, 2021 - Page 243 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 244 of 262
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.

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.”
September 7, 2021 - Page 255 of 262
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.
September 7, 2021 - Page 256 of 262
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
