3. Main Agenda
3.1 West Vail Master Plan Update
Presenter(s): Matt Gennett, AICP, Community Development Director
Greg Roy, AICP Senior Planner
Reviewing of a recent memo, Gennett and Roy presented the status report that came
from the previous PEC meeting. Components are broken down into three parts – housing
chapter, commercial (West Vail Center) and transportation and mobility. Gennett ran
through the process of reviews and approvals through the PEC and primarily reviewed
the West Vail multiple family 1 and 2 and conversation ensued around the density
controls, determinations of deed restricted inclusions, map and special review of the
master plan.
Referring to 12-6K-8 of the memo, Roy highlighted the uniqueness of Zone 1 and 2 are
the minimum and maximum densities including increased sight coverage, increase eight,
less landscaping, revised parking to promote redevelopment while keeping it as similar as
possible to other residential areas while still maintaining neighborhood characteristics.
The general neighborhood inclusions of the West Vail Master Plan was reviewed.
West Vail Master Plan has been presented to the PEC once and the group plans to go
back for an additional level of approvals and/or recommendations. Heights, parking and
the requirements of deed restrictions upon re-development were examples of push back.
However, the modeling and case studies are all taken into consideration to get it into a
final form.
The Authority asked if there are ways to incentivize the inclusions of deed restrictions vs.
a requirement. The Vail InDEED program was presented as an option, the team felt that
commercial linkage or inclusionary zoning is part of the development process.
Gennett stated that the 1) move forward with council to adopt the new zone districts and
then 2) adjust the map to allow for the new zone districts.
West Vail Commercial Zoning was briefly discussed and Gennett highlighted the efforts of
reaching out to commercial owners, residential owners and more. Multi-use buildings is
part of the plan recommendation. Three options are presented at engagevail.com.

Timber Ridge options were reviewed at the recent Town Council meeting. The message
has been high density, previously from Council, and the recent consensus was a mid-
range choice including almost all 1- and 2-bedroom condos but some 3- and 4-bedroom
condos to house more front-line employees in shared housing. Triumph has seen strong
success with these dormitory style condos with the higher bed count.
Authority to make some considerations or recommendations of alternative housing, even
down valley beginning Spring 2024.
