Request for recommendation of a proposed amendment to the Four Seasons SDD.
Presenter: Kristin Williams, Applicant’s Representative
The revised proposed amendment follows an employee basis count in line with Town
Code and proposes to deed-restrict 27 bedrooms within units that have adequate
living, kitchen and bathroom spaces and located within the mitigation region
(including but not limited to Vail, Eagle-Vail, Avon and Edwards) for a total of 32
employees. These units will have a requirement to be occupied by Vail employees.
Vail Local Housing Authority members moved to recommend the approval of this
proposal to Town Council with a caveat concerning incremental parking impact.
