4.2 Goals and Recommendations for the Entitlement Process
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Housing and Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman
The Authority discussed next steps based on the overview process that town staff
member, Matt Gennett presented to the Authority a few weeks ago.
Lindstrom used an example of the recent review of an application to review the rezoning
of Middle Creek at PEC. The discussion was tabled as the staff has three sets of
demands to work on. The request of council to address the entitlement process will not
happen until the next meeting or two as it is not to be focused on this particular project.
Ruther suggests to present some objectives and begin the Authoritys discussion there
and aim to take a different perspective of how do we get to yes. Anything we can from an
objective standpoint to minimize development risk it might garner greater support from the
private sector.
Conversations ensued around it being more of a facilitating role vs a regulating role for
staff to use expert knowledge and building code. Council will be able to assist with
Council and then it is enforced at staff level.
Vails New Dawn is a good example of the public and private sector working together and
process was changed in order to be successful. This was a compelling public interested
that required a streamlined process.
Consideration of fee structures is another consideration.
Authority will continue to work on refining objectives, ideas and narrowing it down to main
points for future discussion. This will help to guide which strategies to pursue.
