Our goal for the playground was a supersized riparian environment. As kids climb the stump and look up at the horsetail grass they get the perspective of a riverbank’s smaller creatures. To accomplish this effect, I had to build the horsetail grass to be strong yet organic and growing. It was fun to rotate each reed as we put them together to shape the negative (blue sky) space around them. -Ben Roth Stephens Park is the tenth playground built by the Town of Vail Design Team in collaboration with an artist to create a unique play environment.

AT TAC H ME N TS: Description Staff Memorandum Presentation October 19, 2021 - Page 27 of 150 To: Vail Town Council From: Matt Gennett, Community Development Director Date: October 19, 2021 Subject: West Vail Master Plan Update – Presentation and Discussion I. INTRODUCTION The West Vail Master Plan describes how the neighborhood may best transform over the coming years. Conversations with the community and analysis of on the ground conditions turned into a vision for what West Vail could and should be. The plan tells the story of that vision, breaks it down into discrete goals, and offers a set of recommendations and strategies on how to get there. As a practical planning tool, the plan will serve as a guide for the Town of Vail as it considers housing policy, zoning, and future land use changes along with upgrades to the transportation infrastructure. The plan’s strategies and recommendations are informed by a robust public engagement process conducted over the course of fifteen months (Spring 2020 – Summer 2021). An Advisory Committee comprised of a cross-section of West Vail residents and business owners was formed early in the process and met eight times to help steer the direction of the plan. The project team also held public workshops on each of the major topic areas to gather additional public comments. To complement insights gained from this process, this plan draws on economic and demographic data, an analysis of current transportation and traffic data, and a review of the existing land use plan and zoning regulations with consideration of their implications. To support desired changes in West Vail, the recommendations in this plan are intended to be both inspiring and attainable. For example, the plan’s recommendations for redeveloping the commercial area consider the financial incentives for property owners to update or redevelop their properties. Some of the recommendations in the plan can be achieved in the short-term, while others will require sustained collaboration and effort over time. Importantly, this plan seeks to build upon West Vail’s past successes, retaining policies and infrastructure that serve the community. The West Vail Master Plan builds on the work of other plans adopted in Vail, including the Vail 2020 Strategic Action Plan (2006), the Vail Town Council Action Plan 2018-20, the Vail Land Use Plan (2009), Vail Housing 2027, the Vail Economic Development Strategic Plan, the Chamonix Master Plan, the Vail Transportation Master Plan, the Vail Civic Area October 19, 2021 - Page 28 of 150 Town of Vail Page 2 Plan (2019), the Vail Open Lands Plan (2018), and the Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan. These plans reflect the Town’s goals to foster a year-round community and economy that prioritizes environmental sustainability and contains housing opportunities for residents of varying income levels. The recommendations of the West Vail Master Plan reflect and complement these Town-wide goals. II. BACKGROUND The creation and adoption of a master plan for West Vail was a Town Council 2018-2020 Action Plan goal. This master plan is in keeping with the council’s intentions around thorough community engagement, sustainable best practices for future development, identification of housing opportunities, and fostering economic development to create vibrancy. The plan also addresses the many nonconforming uses and structures in West Vail and provides policy options to guide future development decisions in West Vail. The project team presented the draft plan to Council during their May 4 meeting and to the PEC on May 10. On June 22, the project team presented the draft plan to the Advisory Committee during their last meeting and received support for the recommendations detailed in the plan. The cumulative feedback was incorporated into the draft and presented to the public during an interactive Zoom webinar on July 13 with participation from 35-40 members of the public. On August 9, 2021, the PEC was presented with the first two major topic areas, the West Vail Center (commercial area) and Housing. The item was tabled to August 23 to continue the presentation. On August 23, 2021, the PEC tabled this item to September 13 without presentation or discussion. On September 13, 2021, staff and the consultant team provided the PEC with a presentation that responded to the PEC’s comments and questions from August 9, and included the third major topic area, Transportation. The item was tabled to September 27 after discussion and direction provided. On September 27, 2021, staff and consultant team provided a detailed description of a recommendation of approval with seven conditions addressing PEC’s suggested modifications to the plan for their consideration. PEC directed staff to account for all suggested modifications to the plan in a redlined/tracked changes version of the draft and tabled the item to October 11. On October 11, 2021, the PEC voted 6-0 (Pratt absent) to forward a recommendation of approval of the West Vail Master Plan with one condition of approval. The condition of approval is “that the proposed modifications agreed to by the PEC be incorporated into the final draft of the plan upon adoption”. The consultant team and staff are now working on incorporating the PEC’s proposed modifications into the final draft for Council’s consideration on November 2, 2021.

STUDY AREA The study area is approximately 262 acres and bordered by West Gore Creek Drive to the south, Cortina Lane, and Garmisch Drive to the north, Buffehr Creek Road to the east and Arosa Drive to the west. The project area was determined by Town staff, the consultant team, and Council. The plan also takes into consideration the connections from West Vail to local destinations outside of the project area and West Vail’s role within the Town. Study Area IV. CONSIDERATIONS FOR REVIEW The West Vail Master Plan is intended to define a vision for what this neighborhood can be and to provide a framework or a path forward for how Vail can optimize West Vail for residents and visitors. The opportunity for a master plan that focuses on the West Vail commercial and residential neighborhoods has been an identified need for many years. Adoption of a Master Plan The adoption of an amendment or update to a master plan needs to be in concert with the Town of Vail’s Comprehensive Master Plan. The adopted master plan shall support, strengthen, and further the development objectives of the town. To ensure consistency with these objectives, the following factors for consideration are applied: October 19, 2021 - Page 30 of 150 Town of Vail Page 4 1) How conditions have changed since the original plan was adopted. Staff finds that conditions have changed in the following manner since the adoption of the Vail Land Use Plan on November 18, 1986 and last amended on November 5, 2019 with the adoption of the Civic Area Plan: o Significant population growth in Vail and in Eagle County o A shortage of available residential housing o Large increases in year-round visitation o On-going redevelopment in Vail 2) How is the original plan in error? Staff does not find that the Vail Land Use Plan is in error. To remain relevant and consistent with the changing conditions and goals of the community, the plan needs to be updated on a consistent basis, including this type of subarea master plan adoption. The existing Future Land Use Map has the residential neighborhoods of West Vail designated as Low and Medium Density Residential. The recommendations for rezoning these areas in the West Vail Master Plan conform with what has been contemplated in the existing Vail Land Use Plan. The commercial area known as West Vail Center in the proposed master plan is designated as Community Commercial in the existing Future Land Use Map of the Vail Land Use Plan. The Community Commercial designation envisions the addition of residential density and a mixed-use environment much like the scenarios included in the West Vail Center chapter of the proposed master plan. 3) How the addition, deletion, or change to the Vail Land Use Plan is in concert with the plan in general. As stated above, Staff finds that the identified purpose and goals of the Civic Area Plan are consistent with the stated goal and objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan. V. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL Staff asks Council to review the presentation and provide feedback during the meeting. The consultant team and staff will incorporate Council’s input into the final draft of the West Vail Master Plan for Council’s consideration for adoption via resolution at their November 2, 2021 regular meeting.

AT TAC H ME N TS: Description Resolution No. 48, Series of 2021 - GoE V City Resolution Memo updated GoE V City Presentation (2021)- Town of Vail October 19, 2021 - Page 88 of 150 To: Vail Town Council From: Environmental Sustainability Department Date: October 19, 2021 Subject: Resolution No. 48, Series of 2021, A Resolution to declare the Town of Vail a “GoEV City” and pledge to implement strategies to reduce transportation related emissions. I. Purpose The purpose of this memorandum and presentation is to present for adoption Resolution No. 48, Series of 2021, to become a Go Electric Vehicle (GoEV) City and pledge to support programs, policies, incentives and regulatory approaches to transition 100% of all vehicles within the Town of Vail to zero emissions by 2050. II. Background The GoEV Coalition invited the Town of Vail to become a member of the “GoEV City” Campaign and make a pledge to support the transition to electric transportation options in our community. Transportation is now the largest source of climate-changing pollution in Colorado and Eagle County. It is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Vail, behind commercial buildings. The Town of Vail adopted the 2016 Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community January 2017 and the 2020 Climate Action Plan update on April 20, 2021. The plan recommends climate action goals and strategies by sector to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of 25% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Electrification of fleets and vehicles is one strategy that can significantly contribute progress towards these climate goals. Transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) and other zero emissions vehicles will reduce pollution and save users money because EVs are cheaper to fuel and maintain than gasoline or diesel vehicles. The GoEV Cities and Counties campaign is a joint effort of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (“SWEEP”), the Clean Energy Economy for the Region (“CLEER”), the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (“CoPIRG”), Conservation Colorado, and the Sierra Club. The effort is modeled after the Ready for 100 campaign, which has led more than 75 local governments in the U.S. to committing themselves to obtaining 100 percent renewable energy no later than 2050. In January of 2018, the state of Colorado released Colorado’s Electric Vehicle Plan, which sets the goal of one million EVs on the road by 2030. Achieving this goal is key to meeting state targets for carbon emissions reductions and improving negative air quality impacts which are on the rise as the state continues to see rapid growth in population and infrastructure. Meeting October 19, 2021 - Page 89 of 150 Town of Vail Page 2 these goals will require the support of Colorado cities to meet the challenge. Currently there are eight Colorado communities who have adopted GoEV City Resolutions including Boulder County, City and County of Denver, Town of Avon, City of Boulder, Summit County, City of Golden, City of Fort Collins and City of Longmont. Eagle County currently has a 2% penetration rate of electric vehicles on the road, with 749 registered electric vehicles out of 38,189 total registered vehicles. The Climate Action Plan 2020 Update includes a goal of at least a 2% increase in electric penetration per year as a percentage of all registered vehicles in Eagle County. Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Reference Below are the most recent greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories for the State of Colorado, Eagle County and Town of Vail (which is community wide). Transportation related emissions make up 25% of total emissions in the State, 36% of total emissions in Eagle County, and 31% of total emissions in Vail. 2020 State of Colorado GHG Inventory 2017 Eagle County GHG Inventory- emissions by sector 2018 Town of Vail GHG Inventory – emissions by sector October 19, 2021 - Page 90 of 150 Town of Vail Page 3 Progress to Date At the direction of the Vail Town Council, Vail began purchasing 100% renewable electricity through Holy Cross Energy’s Renewable Energy Purchase Program (PuRE) in July 2019. Therefore, all EV charging infrastructure in Vail is providing renewable solar energy, reducing the related climate impacts. The Town has been awarded state and federal funding for installation of EV charging infrastructure and electrification of the bus fleet. To date the Town has installed 12 multi-port Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations ($37,560), four DC Fast Charging stations ($380,000), infrastructure improvements and charging stations at Public Works and the Vail Transportation Center to support charging four battery electric buses currently servicing the in-town bus route ($656,610). Town of Vail has also been awarded $2,320,276 from Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) through the Volkswagon settlement fund for four of six additional electric buses scheduled to be delivered in 2023. The Town is also exploring micro-mobility options that encourage alternative forms of transportation, including implementation of a regional electric bike share program and supporting other programs to increase alternative commuting options such as the eBikes for Essentials program, which provided seven essential workers with electric bikes to use for commuting. The Town also facilitates the County-wide Sole Power Green Commuting Challenge, which is in its 11th year and has had over 2,000 participants log nearly 400,000 miles of human powered commuting. Currently, Holy Cross Energy offers the Charge at Home program, which provides up to two free Level 2 charging stations to Holy Cross members who purchase an Electric Vehicle. Town of Vail is off to a strong start as it begins to transition to electric and zero emissions vehicles. As a local and global leader in sustainability, it is critical to demonstrate leadership in action. Pledging to become a GoEV City demonstrates Vail’s commitment to achieving climate goals and reducing its climate impacts in the transportation sector. III. Next Steps: Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan Staff will work across departments to develop an electric vehicle (EV) Readiness Plan with implementation strategies in the coming months. An EV Readiness Plan provides a framework to guide the transition of electrifying vehicles within town operations and in the community. An EV Readiness plans includes goals and strategies and delineates charging infrastructure improvements at public facilities, incentive programs (i.e. rebates), and policy changes to facilitate charging infrastructure on private property. The Plan will include goals to transition Vail’s fleet and transit buses to 100% electric or zero emissions vehicles by 2050. In addition, the Town of Vail will work with the Vail community and Holy Cross Energy on programs, and policies to transition 100% of all vehicles within the town to zero emissions by 2050. IV.

These locations and dining were in place during covid as a result of the Governor ’s actions and subsequent Town actions to allow these during the pandemic. Kurz asked if the P E C can review the furniture for these dining areas. Spence answers that the furniture and barrier systems would be reviewed by the D RB. Gillette asked if these were in place last year. Spence answers that yes, in some version these dining areas have been out there during the pandemic. Planner Spence introduces the Big Bear Bistro application. They currently have a C UP for outdoor dining but expanded the area during the pandemic administratively. The application is to utilize the outdoor smoking area for additional seating, but the bridge may not be used for seating after October October 19, 2021 - Page 111 of 150 31st. No Public Comment. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.2.A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 12- 16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of an outdoor dining patio, located at 228 Bridge Street Unit B/Lot A Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21- 0037) 10 min. Applicant:Drew Riley (Russell's) Planner:J onathan Spence Planner Spence explains that Russell’s was allowed one or two seats along the north of the building and one by the menu board due to covid allowances. There was also an outdoor bar while it was allowed but is no longer permitted or proposed. The application now asks for one table by the vegetable garden and two in the inset where the bench is currently situated. Music does have a decibel limit. 65 is the limit, which can go up to 80 during “Après”, then must return to 65 after après. Pratt asks if this is a total of two tables. Spence answers that there is a total of three tables being proposed. Kurz asks if this is only summer. Spence answers that the applicant has only asked for summer seating. Kurz has concerns about the choke point at this point in Bridge Street. Drew Riley, the applicant, states that yes, this is only summer. They will be able to fit two tables in that area where the bench is. I t allows for enough space to sit as well as serve. Pratt believes the triangular space by the bridge seems a bit forced. He is not comfortable with that location. Perez agrees on that corner space. People are choked at that point and could cause issues. Gillette asks if there has been a table in that location in the past. Spence does not believe so. Riley says they would be willing to move it back towards the building and away from foot traffic. They open only in the evening, so they miss most of the foot traffic. Gillette asks if the applicant is willing to table and take this to the next meeting. Riley agrees to table for four weeks. October 19, 2021 - Page 112 of 150 Kjesbo would like to see a site plan. Pratt asked why the path along the side of the building is not proposed for seating. Riley said he believed he was told he was not allowed to because of the zoning for that stream tract. No Public Comment. Brian Gillette moved to table to November 8, 2021. Rollie Kjesbo seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.3.A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 12- 16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of an outdoor dining patio, located at 254 Bridge Street Unit C/Lot C & L, Block 5C, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21-0040) 10 min. Applicant:Kathleen Barron (Gorsuch Ski Haus) Planner:J onathan Spence 1. This Conditional Use Permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of an associated design review application. 2. The applicant shall operate the outdoor patio in a manner generally consistent with the approved site plan dated 07/17/2019. Planner Spence introduces the application. Gillette asks if the tables come in at night. Kathleen Barron confirms that they do come in. No public comment. Perez asks what we do about wandering, as she has seen this one moving from time to time. Spence answers that he regularly walks that village to try and keep them in check. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.4.A request for review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 12- 16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of an outdoor dining patio, located at 304 Bridge Street/Lot E-H, Block 5A, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21- 0047) 10 min. Applicant:J ennifer Linzinmeir (The Red Lion) Planner:J onathan Spence 1. This Conditional Use Permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of an associated design review application. 2. The applicant shall operate the outdoor patio in a manner generally consistent with the approved site plan dated 07/17/2019. October 19, 2021 - Page 113 of 150 Planner Spence introduces this application. I t is for a new outdoor dining area that was not previously a C UP. This was done only during covid and is proposing to come in for full approval. This one tends to wander and gather more seats than feasible for the location. The seat by the t shirt shop to the south will not be allowed after the 31st of October. Kjesbo asks if we are still doing sleeves for posts. Spence answers that we are not as those have been seen to be a trip hazard. I f spaces tend to move, we will look at acceptable way to keep that from happening. J enn Linzinmeir asks if there will a direction for the stations. Spence answers that the D RB will be reviewing that portion and will be forthcoming. Planters may be an option. Gillette asks if planters in the winter would be treated with appropriate plantings. Spence confirms. No public comment. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.5.A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a Prescribed Regulation Amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town Code to amend Section 12-15-3 Definition, Calculation, and Exclusions, Vail Town Code, to add an exemption to allow vaults for car lift systems to be excluded from the GRFA calculation and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21-0046) 40 min. Applicant:K H W ebb Architects & Mauriello Planning Group Planner:Greg Roy Planner Roy introduces amendment and addresses existing code and proposed language. He touches on the criteria needed for an underground vault to be exempted from GRFA. Kjesbo asks if it effects how parking is calculated right now? Roy says we would allow them to count them as required spaces so you could accommodate more parking on the inside. Gillette asks how is it not counted currently? Roy says we exempt only 600 sf of a garage from GRFA. Gillette asks for clarification on basement exemptions. Roy clarifies it’s the 6-foot rule. Gillette says you do not need all the proposed exemptions. Roy says that would be another way to look at it. October 19, 2021 - Page 114 of 150 Gillette says he was never in favor of that language to begin with. Roy says this language will be very specific to underground vaults to avoid confusion. Gillette asks for clarification. Roy says it would be cleaner for the proposal to have its own section than add to existing. Gillette says the thinks the exemption list is excessive. Phillips likes that there is more interior parking, and that the structure is exclusive for vehicle storage. Wants it to be added as number nine in the code, rather than reworking 6 ft off grade issue. Gillette asks where number nine would be added? Roy points to the list of exemptions currently in the code. Phillips asks how do you handle the credit for the parking spots? Roy says it would be additional parking, you could have a four car garage in a two car space. He references the code and how where the proposal would fit in the GRFA section. Gillette and Roy discuss where the amendment should best be placed. Pratt says there is currently no size limitation, what would stop people from using this as an elevator with additional space. He also asks if the machine room is exempt? Roy says the car lift system would be enclosed in the vault. Pratt is concerned there is no size limit in the regulations, and someone would add 6 vehicles. Roy says staff is open to the possibility of adding language that would limit the size of the vaults in area. Dominic Mauriello speaks on behalf of the applicant. He says Exemption B addresses what Pratt is worried about. Pratt clarifies he is worried about lateral size. Mauriello doesn’t’ have a problem with that, especially if it is below grade. He says it makes sense to have the criteria built in here. The original basement code led to confusion in some instances. Environmentally it also helps to have less pavement and parking on the grounds. Pratt says this doesn’t count against the 600 sf. This is free garage space. Gillett asks if you have two cars you get 600 sf? Pratt says this is free square footage for a garage. He likes the concept, but he doesn’t see limits on size. I f it doesn’t count against the 600sf, its’ essentially free space. October 19, 2021 - Page 115 of 150 Mauriello says you can get up to 1,200 square feet of exempted garage space in certain zone districts. Roy clarifies the code allows 600 sf per allowable unit. Pratt doesn’t want it to be an elevator or a lift. Do we care if somebody wants to stack three cars? Phillips says they can’t do it under this 16 foot height limit. Gillette why does someone with a car lift gets a bigger basement deduction than someone that doesn’t? W hat is the purpose? Spence says this is an area not being counted towards GRFA, not a deduction. Gillette says the fire department won’t allow this to be the only egress. Spence says that is the case at a house on Mill Creek where it has been approved. Kjesbo says the public benefit is getting the parking off the surface. Gillette says none of this makes sense to him. Kjesbo proposes a condition: two parking spaces per each allowable unit. Roy says the garage vault would be limited to two parking spaces per allowable unit. Mauriello knows a case where someone used GRFA for a four-car garage. He asks should people be able to have additional underground spaces. Kjesbo says we can let staff craft the language on this. Spence proposes that the area of the underground space is limited to only the area beneath the garage. Pratt would like to keep the language simple and at two spaces per allowable unit. Gillette asks how you’re defining a garage space? Roy says the size is 10x20 ft. W e can limit it to two per allowable unit within the footprint of the garage. Spence says staff will write the language. Spence and Mauriello discuss proposed language. Gillette says you can’t fit two cars in a 600 square foot garage. Spence says that people in town are doing it with less space. He says regulations can’t account for everything but have to account for the vast majority of situations. October 19, 2021 - Page 116 of 150 Pratt says the vault should stay within 600 square feet. Spence reiterates there is up to 1,200 sf of garage deductions in some existing zones. Gillette asks how is the basement deduction is currently calculated? I s it proposed or existing? Spence says whichever is more restrictive. The idea with the vaults is that they are below grade. Gillette says you could create a mound a get it below grade. He points out that the language is finished grade not existing grade. Kurz wants to move towards a motion with conditions that satisfy the concerns being expressed. Gillette reviews the board’s concerns. Kjesbo says you’re only two parking spaces per allowed unit. Spence proposes the maximum size of any underground parking vault shall be 600 sf per unit. Pratt is not comfortable with the 600 sf. He would prefer to go back to two lift spaces per allowable unit. Mauriello says to think about the practicality of construction. Pratt’s concern is that 600 square feet is more than two parking spaces. You’re giving them extra space for storage. Spence says it’s a scissor system, about the size of the car. Pratt says the lift is not the size of the car. Gillette says a 15-foot-tall garage could hold multiple cars. Spence says GRFA takes careful consideration. Pratt says his concern is that rules can’t be abused and create storage. Spence we can table this, and applicant can bring in an engineer. Pratt likes two cars per allowable unit vs 600 square footage language. Gillette there is nothing that says they will be used for cars. Mauriello says 10x20 is a pretty good size for cars. Spence proposes a 400 square feet allowable size if that is what the board wants. Kjesbo the maximum size is 400 square feet per allowable unit. We want the regulations to fit the structure not the use. So that whether you’re a single family or a duplex the rules are the same. October 19, 2021 - Page 117 of 150 Phillips says the lift mechanics are included in the 16’ height which also makes it harder to stack cars. He references past projects in town. Gillette asks for clarification about proposed language and Spence says the staff will incorporate the P E C’s comments. Kjesbo says let’s write the language and come back in two weeks. No public comment. Motion to Table to October 25. Rollie Kjesbo moved to table to October 25, 2021. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.6.A request for recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for the adoption of the West Vail Master Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C21-0036) 60 min. Applicant:Town of Vail, represented by S E Group Planner:Matt Gennett Community Development Director Matt Gennett reviews the previous meeting and the actions taken to prepare for this meeting. Gabby Voeller with S E Group addresses the track-changes version of the West Vail Master Plan that includes comments from the P E C, Vail Fire and Emergency Services (V F E S), and the Vail Local Housing Authority (V L HA). Gillette asks to go through the comments. Ellie Wachtel reads through the comments from the P E C. Voeller goes through comments in the document. The first one addresses sunlight, sustainability, and green-building practices. She also touches on grocery stores, additional residential units, and variable heights to preserve sun exposure. Perez asks a question about the specific grammar which Wachtel answers. Wachtel and Voeller address additional comments added by V LHA. Gillette asks if Council will know who the comments are from. Gennett says a majority of P E C can concur or disagree with changes suggested based on comments received and Council will review the revised document which will be the product of this process. Voeller moves on and states the consultants disagree with a V L HA comment regarding bulk and mass standards controlling density rather than number of units and GRFA. Gillette asks if you’re recommending there would be no GRFA? Voeller says it is not recommended for the commercial areas. October 19, 2021 - Page 118 of 150 Gennett says GRFA is applicable and calculated based on the specific zone district. Pratt is against bulk and mass standards, says developers will build to those lines. Gillette says parking is biggest caveat in controlling density. Pratt reiterates his concerns about bulk and mass. Gillette is ok with the V LHA comments. Pratt asks what council will do with this document? Gennett says Council will be reviewing the document that the P E C recommends approval of. Voeller says it is important to think about town-wide consistency. I t could be complicated if there are different calculation methods in different parts of town. Gillette says there should be flexibility with the density requirements. He asks for a straw poll. Phillips has an issue with going away from the consistency of what the town is already doing. He supports the consultant’s recommendation. Kurz says they should go down the line on this item. Kjesbo agrees with consultants, Kurz agrees, Gillette agrees for simplicity, Pratt is against using bulk and mass, and Siebert agrees. Perez is also in agreement suggests adding language like “as the market permits” so that there is some flexibility if the unit type and count needs to change. Kurz agrees with this statement. He reviews the process of the plan so far, says the P E C can make recommendations to council but that we are not yet at the point of a finished product. The document will not be perfect at this time and will change in the future. He gives credit to those that produced it and try and come up with something to send to council. Voeller addresses Fire Departments comments that design guidelines will be responsive to public safety considerations. Voeller moves to Chapter 3. She addresses the V LHA comment regarding deed-restricted units in Zoning Recommendation #1. Gillette asks how we decided on these specific numbers? We didn’t want to make it infeasible to redevelop these properties. Wachtel says it was to keep in spirit with the V L HA comment. Pratt says it is self-defeating that if you go above 9 units per acre, the rest must be deed restricted. Gillette asks for clarification with the numbers. Wachtel reiterates the V LHA comments about the specific numbers. October 19, 2021 - Page 119 of 150 Gillette says if you want to increase density to something over 9 units per acre, half of the additional units have to be deed restricted. Wachtel says they will remove V L HA’s comments in this regard. Pratt clarifies that half the units over 9 would be deed restricted. The Consultants disagree with V L HA suggestion for a minimum density with market rate units. At least 4 commissioners agree with consultants (Phillips, Kjesbo, Kurz, Siebert). Wachtel says a lot of the recommendations are aimed at reducing the number of non-conformities. Voeller addresses a comment that no short-term rentals are allowed in this zone district for any property that is benefitting from the zoning. Gillette and Phillips say if redevelopment occurs it would trigger this clause. Wachtel says there are around 10 short term rentals in the Chamonix area and around another 10 in the Geneva area. Pratt says the proposed language of the other two is infringing on property rights. Phillips says if they utilize the redevelopment zoning, then they cannot have short term rentals. Otherwise, it is a little iffy legally. Gillette says if you have a non-conforming property and redevelop, you are benefitting from the zoning. Perez asks whether we grandfather in the existing unit? Gillett asks doesn’t short-term rentals mean it is being utilized as housing. Voeller says not necessarily and cites examples. Gillette asks where we go with this? Pratt says somehow, we must allow people their property rights if they want to redevelop, but if people are benefitting from what they have now than there will be no short-term rentals. Gillette says he is not necessarily in favor of getting rid of the old stuff. Perez says you grandfather in to get rid of the old stuff and replace with new stuff, with additional units prior to redevelopment. Gillette says it is getting too complicated, it shouldn’t be different from the rest of town. Pratt doesn’t want to take away property rights. Gennett says there would be no need for grandfathering, existing structures would be conforming with the new zoning. October 19, 2021 - Page 120 of 150 Gillette says any redevelopment would be benefitting from the new code. Phillips cites the example of a 6-plex. Anyone that has a non-conforming structure will benefit from rezoning. Gennett they will become conforming with adoption of new zoning. Phillips says only the new units added in the benefit would be no short-term rentals. Gillette reminds that some of the units will be deed restricted. Perez says when you apply for a short-term rental license you must put in the address. Gennett confirms. Voeller says certain addresses would be registered as not allowed to have short term rentals. Siebert says you can’t take the original six units and cut back on property rights. Voeller says it is not a property right that you get to short-term rent your house. She cites court cases to this effect. The TOV has leeway here. Perez says we are not allowed to buy out these deed restricted units as a property right. Gillette says we do allow this. Siebert asks for clarification. I f I lose the ability to short-term rent that is a property right that I lost. Gennett won’t speak for town attorney. I t is allowed as ancillary or accessory to the residential use by right. The town could change course on short-term rentals, and changes would be legal by his understanding. There will be additional steps for public comments and consideration during the rezoning process. We’re not changing the zoning with the adoption of this plan. These are recommendation and rezoning would come afterwards. Voeller says she is hearing consensus from the board, Gillette asks a question about deed restriction buyouts or exchanges. Spence says you must go through the process and be conforming with zoning in the end. Voeller addresses additional comments. Wachtel says there are two approaches regarding the rezoning in W est Vail. The consultant team is proposing a W est Vail Multifamily 2 zoning districts to address the next V L HA comment and W achtel outlines details of this comment. Voeller clarifies this is a lower density version of West Vail Multifamily 1. October 19, 2021 - Page 121 of 150 Wachtel says the other option is to extend W est Vail Multifamily 1. Gillette asks what is existing in the Geneva/Alpine neighborhood. Wachtel covers the existing numbers, there are 36 lots, 67 units. She outlines these numbers under the different proposed zoning scenarios if every lot was redeveloped. Gillette and Pratt like the lesser density here. Phillips agrees on Multi-Family Zoning 2. Wachtel says the deed restriction requirements would be in line with those previously discussed. Voeller and W achtel show the new suggested zoning maps, incorporating the P E C comments from the previous meeting. Gillette and Phillips ask about the end of Alpine Drive. They want to make sure the new map conforms to the discussions from previous meetings. Wachtel says the small lot sizes were removed in the new map. Phillips agrees these are the small lots on the west side of Alpine Dr. Voeller says they’re trying to capture the multiplexes in the area. Phillips agrees with the recommendation of not including those smaller lots. Gillette asks about Geneva and Matterhorn. Wachtel says it was looked at but not changed at this point. Phillips talks about the existing character of the area, says the current delineation is good. Voeller says they endorse the V LHA comment about changing the code to grandfather in nonconforming properties. Spence says that creates challenging situations for zoning when neighbors have different rules Wachtel says if this makes sense to do, it will apply to some non-conforming structures but that it would not be area wide. Voeller addresses V LHA comments in Recommendation #1. She uses 4- plex example; when it is redeveloped it would be allowed to keep some of the non-conformities. Wachtel says they wanted to include V LHA’s comments, but grandfather in nonconforming properties strategically. Voeller asks what the board position is? Gillette says make the changes they’ve discussed and leave the rest alone otherwise it will be impossible to manage. He doesn’t want to fuss around with the existing zoning. October 19, 2021 - Page 122 of 150 Kjesbo says the affected lots can go to the P E C at that time and Pratt agrees. Voeller addresses V LHA comment on Recommendation #2 regarding site coverage and building height. S E Group suggested an additional 5-10% of site coverage to allow additional units to be built. V LHA wanted no number to be named. She says again it would be complicated if the town had a different system here than elsewhere. Gillette asks where this would be in effect? Wachtel says all over West Vail. Gillette wants to contain all these recommendations to the new zone districts. The P E C will review this at the appropriate time. Kjesbo agrees, wants it to be consistent with the rest of town. Wachtel addresses the V L HA comment in Recommendation #3 regarding GRFA requirements. Pratt is against unlimited GRFA. Gillette says P E C disagrees with this comment, and GRFA is important to control massing. Wachtel addresses V LHA comment in Recommendation #4 regarding. She says 400 sf is relatively large for a studio, that could be decreased. Spence says there are currently no minimums or maximums relating to E HUs. Pratt and Gillette say to delete the comment on Recommendation #4. Voeller addresses V LHA comment underneath Recommendation #4. The consultants say its outside the scope of this plan. Gillette asks for staff comment and Spence agrees with consultants. Voeller addresses V LHA comment in Recommendation #6. There is a lot of public comment against parking lots with rows of cars backing in and backing out. The majority of P E C agrees with the consultant’s language. Voeller addresses Fire Department comment that parking requirement deductions should include analysis of emergency service requirements. Wachtel says V L HA said further study is needed here. Voeller says V L HA wanted to remove highlighted text in Scenario 1. Gillett says it should be accessed from either side. Gillette asks if Chamonix units are deed-restricted in the plan? Wachtel said they would have to be deed-restricted with current zoning. She October 19, 2021 - Page 123 of 150 is recommending that is changed in the new plan to support redevelopment. Voeller says Commercial Core 3 is currently 100% deed restricted and the goal is to reduce that to 50. Voeller clarifies that group disagrees with massing controls. Voeller addresses comment about deed-restricted units that some would be purchased, and some would be rental units. She gives examples of how the two paths would work. Gillette asks who gets to sell and who gets to rent. Voeller says it’s a master plan, they will have to see how it plays out. Gennett says it is flexible, we don’t regulate ownership structures today. Voeller addresses V LHA comments on page 25. Pratt says a mixture of unit sizes is desirable, but he’s not sure how you control it. Perez says a developer will do a market study and do what makes sense for them. Voeller cites examples from Denver and other cities which are trying to retain families with higher unit development. There is a policy choice here, what is your vision? Pratt says parking will drive the end account. As a policy, Pratt and Phillips and Gillette agree with comment. Wachtel addresses comments about short-term rentals on pg. 26. Perez brings up that we said no additional units in this language. Wachtel says this will be revised to match the board’s wishes. Voeller addresses V LHA comment regarding Policy and Program #6, consultants do not agree. Perez has a problem with the use of the word solely. Kjesbo says there cannot be different design standards in W est Vail. Bellm says Policy Recommendation #5 was never discussed with the board. W hen a plan recommends waiving fees 100%, you’re restricting what future councils can do. You’re saying that deed-restricted units can be built for free. Perez has a problem with waiving all fees. Suggests handling fee waivers for deed-restricted units on a case-by-case basis. We can’t hamstring the council or hurt the community that relies on some of these fees. Gillette says this town adds a lot to the cost of building, then wonders why housing is so expensive. Says it’s just a recommendation and is appropriate for now. Phillips agrees. October 19, 2021 - Page 124 of 150 Bellm says she agreed with Perez that the waivers are considered on a case-by-case basis, rather than waiving all fees. Perez says it could be used in West Vail but not the rest of town. Phillips says there is a huge benefit to waiving the fees to incentivize that type of development. But perhaps you could get fees back rather than get waived on the front end. Gillette asks for clarification. Spence cites current regulations. Kjesbo likes the idea of a refund at the end. Bellm says we can’t legally waive construction use tax; it has to be refunded after. You can still return all the money, but we shouldn’t promise it up front. Gillette says they may have an easier time getting financing if the fee is waived up front. Kjesbo disagrees and agrees with Bellm. Phillips says how do you get building fees back if the project decides not to be deed restricted. He thinks a rebate process is a simpler process. Kurz says the board agrees with the intent and wants to proceed. Gillette says let’s revise it where it is a refund and not a waiver of the fee. Gennett confirms. Wachtel addresses comments in transportation section. This includes Fire Department comments about emergency access, Pratt’s concern about unnecessary signage, speedbumps, and road diet. The board has no additional comments on this. Voeller moves to the implementation chapter. Wachtel addresses V LHA comment on Special Development Districts (S D D) which consultants do not agree with. Gennett doesn’t want to create a limitation in the zone district, where you cannot apply for an S D D. Says it is more equitable, allows for creativity, wants to keep a level playing field. Perez agrees and says the P E C can still address these applications as they come. Voeller disagrees with V L HA suggestion of removal of language that the planning department and housing department coordinate. Gillette agrees. Gennett addresses condition of approval should P E C forward recommendation of approval. Board is recommending approval of a October 19, 2021 - Page 125 of 150 document that includes their final recommendations. Kurz asks for public comment. J ack Bergey is a homeowner in West Vail. He likes Perez’s idea of a grandfather clause. He wants to revisit the zoning map. Gillette clarifies the lots that were removed on Upper Chamonix. Bergey says he has a 3000 square foot lot that is perfect for employee housing. He clarifies the existing boundaries with the board. He asks for clarification regarding the recommendation for additional units. Gillette says you have to build 9 units/buildable acre, including 1 deed restricted. Phillips asks about Bergey’s current situation. Gillette says if you redevelop you have built 9 units/buildable acre, including 1 deed-restricted. Perez says J ack is asking can I rebuild my 6 units? Gillette says you could rebuild with 4 units, 2 market rate and 2 deed restricted. He says you are grandfathered on short-term rentals not deed restrictions. Gennett says because of maximum density, could you still build back 6 units if that is existing. Phillips says the existing non-conforming units could be rebuilt under the new code (keep the existing number of units). Your 6 units carries forward, restrictions apply to the number of new units. Bergey clarifies what is currently existing. Phillips wants to give J ack the ability to rebuild at 6. Perez thought that was present in the language. Phillips doesn’t want to lose housing stock. Non-conforming units would carry over under the new zoning without penalty. Gillette says by allowing these properties to be redeveloped you could lose housing stock. Phillips wants Bergey to be able to rebuild what he had before and then potentially add to it. Gillette wants to preserve housing stock, through some deed-restrictions. Perez asks can he build back what he has? I f he adds additional units, how many of those are deed-restricted? Phillips says he understood that non-conforming units would carry forward; clipping the number of units removes the incentive to redevelop. Perez and Gillette are concerned that these will become unaffordable to October 19, 2021 - Page 126 of 150 workers. Phillips says this example makes no sense if regulations restrict redevelopment to fewer units. Voeller clarifies the language in Town Council Recommendation #1. Perez says the issue is he can’t redevelop to the existing number of units. Gillette brings up the short-term rental again. Wachtel says the intention is to reach a level of density (9-18) that people feel comfortable with, without resorting to spot-zoning. That has been the current strategy. Voeller reiterates language in Zoning Recommendation #1. Gillette asks what he is allowed to do currently with existing zoning. Kjesbo says he can put two units and an E HU on the property. Spence says existing duplexes on lots less than 15,000 square feet can be redeveloped and an E HU can be added. Gillette says we’re not taking anything away from him and is concerned we’re going to lose employee housing stock. He says there is a right number that should be used everywhere. Kjesbo he should be allowed to put 6 units with no deed restrictions since that is existing. Gillette and Kjesbo discuss rental market. Voeller says the deed restriction issue can be solved. She asks about the number of units that should be deed-restricted? Gillette says keep it simple for the whole zone district. Kjesbo says you have to look at existing conditions of a specific lot. Spence says just because you have that allowable density, doesn’t mean it will be realized along with meeting the other regulations. Kjesbo he shouldn’t be penalized for the number of units he already has. Spence says Gillette’s concern is by replacing existing stock you will lose affordability. The question here is does retaining six units benefit the town? Phillips says we can sit here all day and speculate rents. Gillette and Phillips discuss the correct number of deed-restricted units. Phillips says the goal is not to lose numbers of housing stock. Gennett says in aggregate the goal is no net loss and to increase housing stock, despite a small number of exceptions. Perez says the Town Council’s directive was clear, to increase housing stock in W est Vail. October 19, 2021 - Page 127 of 150 Voeller reviews new language for Zoning Recommendation #1. She says deed restrictions rules would also apply. Kjesbo and Perez agree. Gillette agrees as long as deed restrictions are in place. Kurz says the board engaged in some negotiation that is not necessarily their charge. Their responsibility is to look at the bigger picture and not necessarily individual cases. Gillette says public comment is appreciated if it stirs discussion. Voeller and Phillips agree.

Swearing in and introduction of new AIPP Board member Lindsea Stowe. 2. Approval of August 2, 2021 meeting minutes. 3. Citizen input. 4. Approval of sculpture by Jeff Jackson as public art for Altus development. •Molly reviews the process of approving art in the private developments. •The art consultant’s proposal for the work on behalf of Altus is consistent with the installed sculpture. The Board approves the installed sculpture by Jeff Jackson. •The Board remarks while the location is not ideal for the work to be viewed on the property, it does fulfill their public art requirement as presented earlier this year. 5. Relocation of Lion by Frederick Prescott from Children’s Garden of Learning. •Molly shows an image of the Lion as it is presently at the entrance of the CGL. The work is being drawn upon with chalk by the children. The Board comments that they do not want to encourage drawing upon works of art in public display. •Due mostly to safety reasons the Board agrees to relocate the work to the west of the stairs of the Lionshead Welcome Center. •It will be an appropriate entry art feature to Lionshead, especially having the work facing the mountain. 6. Winter 2021/22 •Molly updates the Board on the collaboration between Olive Moya and Paul Wertin for this season’s 15th Vail Winterfest ice installation on the Gore Creek Promenade. •Initial concepts will be presented at the October 4th Board Meeting. •Finalized concepts for the Winterfest installation will be presented at the November 1st Board Meeting. •Molly asks the Board for feedback how to address the Lantern making and walk portion of the Winterfest. •The Board would like to keep the identity of Winterfest as a free and family event and separate from other events during this time. This year will mark its Fifteenth year of the installation and celebrations. •The Board would like to continue providing the take home lantern kits. October 19, 2021 - Page 132 of 150 •Susanne offers to connect with some of the schools about the event. •Molly suggests we look at the four corners of the International Bridge for display of the lanterns and perhaps installing the bistro lights again on the bridge. •The Board may want to reimagine the walk portion given the age of the participants and Covid . •Should we invite artists in an RFP to create larger more complex lanterns for display on the bridge and a procession? It is noted that we can then invite kids to line up and enjoy the procession or keep the opening of Winterfest an entire evening versus a specific start time. •The Board will come back to the October meeting with more realized concepts for the Lantern portion of Winterfest. 7. Strategic Vision Plan for AIPP. •At the August 2, 2021 AIPP meeting, the Board voted to proceed with updating the adopted 2001 AIPP Strategic Plan. The Town of Vail’s goals and adopted action plans have seen significant changes which affect the operations and direction of AIPP over the past 20 years. The Board would like to focus on a 10-year plan to update and elevate the AIPP mission, vision, approval process of donations to collection, commissioned works, temporary installations, Cultural Heritage Committee initiatives, public art in capital projects and private developments to align with that of the Town of Vail’s vision “to be a premier international destination resort community.” This plan would also encompass the overall cultural goals and structure for the use of the Ford Park Art Studio Space. The collaborative vision development, research, and roadmap to these goals will be implemented by consulting experts for municipal art plans and would take approximately six months for completion and approval . Timeline: Request for proposals for AIPP issued November 1, 2021 Deadline for proposals November 26, 2021 Review of proposals, interviews, selection December 20, 2021 Contract award with art consultant January 2022. •How does the potential donation of several sculptures from the Logan collection align with an updated strategic plan for AIPP? •Molly has researched a few art consultants who facilitate strategic public art planning for municipalities. Given we have a base of a strategic plan in place, this would be updating the existing plan and likely a four-month process. •We want to consider what a consultant might recommend for others to participate in the planning outside of the AIPP Board. •It is presently budgeted at $25,000. Kathy comments that we will want to have in person meetings with whomever is awarded the project. •This would be an opportunity to outline the vision of the Ford Park Art Space: o How does a residency look with length of stay, expectations, stipend, public engagement, application, invitation to artists? Per Council direction upon staff recommendation at May 4, 2021 Council meeting: •Demolish existing structure and build a new structure on a new foundation that resembles the existing building but has the features and systems to accommodate all the anticipated art’s needs. This new structure could be somewhat larger than the existing structure, but would be similar in nature. Overall cost will vary depending on the scale and amenities, but the new construction is the least cost per conditioned space. •Based on a construction cost per square foot, final design and construction documents, FFE, permits, construction management and site work we believe the project will cost $850,000 including the contingency. AIPP would allocate October 19, 2021 - Page 133 of 150 $250,000 from existing funds in the AIPP “destination art” account towards this project. 8.Future sculpture installation locations in Vail Village •Molly with the help of PW staff has identified approximately 6 locations within Vail Village for placement of potential sculpture locations from the Logan collection. •Several areas surrounding the Vail Village parking structure and within Vail Village have been identified as locations for potential sculpture placement. Enhancements in the landscaping efforts (design, materials, plants and installation) would greatly improve the aesthetics of the art locations. •The goal is to create thoughtfully curated spaces at these highly visible locations. (Images attached) •There are several locations around the main stairwell of the Vail Village parking structure. While for many it is a first impression to Vail, it is also the final impression. There is opportunity to enhance this experience with the placement of sculptures and addressing the landscaping efforts. •It would be ideal to relocate the Robert Tully sculpture, so that it is in a more visible location. Presently it gets lost in the rock placement behind it. •Molly comments on the article recently written on Vail’s AIPP in the Sept/Oct issue of SEPT-OCT 2021 - Haute Living San Francisco (hautelivingsf.com) (falls on page 95) •Molly discusses the various works and tasks the Board with considering placement, interaction, safety, maintenance for the possible sculptures at these locations. •The Board would like Molly to discuss some of the placement suggestions for the various sculptures with the Logans. •The experience of the parking structures has been elevated over the past couple of years with the inclusions of the murals, the Lawrence Weiner work, etc. 9.Coordinator Updates •Pinecone sculpture arrived and we will look at locations around the clubhouse with the VRD. 10.Meeting adjourned.
