COLORADO, THAT:
Section 1. Section 12-3-3 of the Vail Town Code is hereby repealed in its
entirety and reenacted as follows:
12-3-3: APPEALS AND CALL-UP:
A.Appeals of administrative decisions.
1.Purpose. The purpose of this subsection A is to provide an
avenue to appeal a final administrative decision based on a belief that there
was an error in a final administrative decision made by the Administrator
under Titles 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Code.
2.Applicability. This subsection A shall apply to final
administrative decisions of the Administrator. For purposes of this
subsection A, a "final administrative decision" is a written decision of the
Administrator interpreting a specific provision of this Code.
3. Standing. Only the following have standing to appeal: the
affected applicant; an owner of real property that is adjacent to the property
that is the subject of the application; or any adversely affected person. For
purposes of this Section, adversely affected person means any person who
will suffer an adverse effect to an interest protected by this Title, but only if
the adverse effect exceeds in degree the effect on others in the general
interest in community good shared by all persons.
4.Procedure.
a.A notice of appeal shall be filed within 20 days of the final
administrative decision. The notice of appeal shall include all
information required by the appeal application provided by the
Department of Community Development and the applicable fee as
established by resolution of the Town Council. Failure to timely file
a complete appeal shall constitute a waiver of the right to appeal.
b.Within 7 days of receipt of a complete notice of appeal, the
Administrator shall determine whether the appellant has standing to
appeal. If the Administrator finds that the appellant does not have
standing, the Administrator shall notify the appellant, in writing, that
the appeal has been dismissed. The dismissal is not subject to
further appeal.
c.If the Administrator determines that the appellant has
standing, the Administrator shall determine the appropriate review
body. Appeals of administrative decisions related to design
guidelines shall be heard by the Design Review Board. All other
appeals of administrative decisions shall be heard by the Planning
and Environmental Commission. The Administrator shall schedule a
public hearing before the applicable review body at its next available
meeting to occur within 60 days of the standing determination.
d.At least 15 days prior to the hearing, the Administrator shall
send written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing to the
appellant, the applicant and adjacent property owners, by first class
U.S. Mail, postage prepaid. If adjacent property owners are in a
planned community, notice shall be sufficient if mailed to the owners'
association.
e.All appeals shall be de novo, and the review body many
consider any evidence it deems to be relevant. The burden shall be
on the appellant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that
the decision being appealed was incorrect. The review body may
adopt procedures for the public hearing, including without limitation
time allowances for the presentation of evidence, argument and
public comment, if any.
f.The review body shall review the appeal based on the
applicable standards and criteria in the Town Code. The review body
shall affirm, modify or overturn the final administrative decision, and
shall issue written findings to support its decision. The review body
may request that the Town Attorney draft such findings for adoption
at a subsequent meeting, and the decision shall not be final until such
findings have been adopted.
g.The decision of the review body is subject to further appeal as
set forth in subsection B hereof.
4.Stay. The filing of a complete notice of appeal shall stay all
permit activity and any proceedings related to the application being
appealed or the property that is the subject of such application, unless the
Administrator determines that a stay poses imminent peril to life or property.
The stay shall continue until final resolution of the appeal.
B.Appeals of decisions by the Planning and Environmental
Commission, Design Review Board, and Art in Public Places Board.
1.Purpose. The purpose of this subsection B is to provide an
avenue to appeal a final decision based on a belief that there was an error
in a decision made under the relevant Title of the Town Code.
2.Applicability. This subsection B shall apply to final decisions
made by the Planning and Environmental Commission, Design Review
Board, or Art in Public Places Board with respect to the provisions of the
Town Code.
3.Standing. Only the following have standing to appeal: the
affected applicant; an owner of real property that is adjacent to the property
that is the subject of the application, or any adversely affected person. For
purposes of this Section, adversely affected person means any person who
will suffer an adverse effect to an interest protected by this Title, but only if
the adverse effect exceeds in degree the effect on others in the general
interest in community good shared by all persons.
4.Procedure.
a.A notice of appeal shall be filed within 20 days of the decision
being appealed. The notice of appeal shall include all information
required by the appeal application provided by the Department of
Community Development and the applicable fee established by
resolution of the Town Council. Failure to timely file a complete
appeal shall constitute a waiver of the right to appeal.
b.Within 7 days of receipt of a complete notice of appeal, the
Administrator shall determine whether the appellant has standing to
appeal. If the Administrator finds that the appellant does not have
standing, the Administrator shall notify the appellant, in writing, that
the appeal has been dismissed. The dismissal is not subject to
further appeal.
c.If the Administrator determines that the appellant has
standing, the Administrator shall schedule a public hearing before
the Town Council to occur within 60 days of such determination.
d.At least 15 days prior to the hearing, the Administrator shall
send written notice of the date, time and place of the hearing to the
last known addresses of the applicant, appellant and adjacent
property owners by first class U.S. Mail. If adjacent property owners
are in a planned community, notice shall be sufficient if mailed to the
owners' association.
e.All appeals shall be de novo, and the Town Council may
consider any evidence it deems to be relevant. The burden shall be
on the appellant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that
the decision was incorrect. The Town Council may adopt procedures
for the public hearing, including without limitation time allowances for
the presentation of evidence, argument and public comment, if any.

permit activity and any proceedings related to the application being
appealed or the property that is the subject of such application, unless the
Administrator determines that a stay poses imminent peril to life or property.
The stay shall continue until final resolution of the appeal.
6.Further review. The decision of the Town Council on any
appeal is final, subject only to judicial review as allowed by law.
C. Call-up by Town Council. The Town Council may call up any
decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission or the Design
Review Board or the Art in Public Places Board, by a majority vote of those
Town Council members present, within 20 days of the decision being called
up. Once called up, the decision shall be reviewed in the same manner as
an appeal, provided that no finding of standing shall be necessary, and
there shall be no burden of proof.
Section 2. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect the validity of
the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Council hereby declares it would have
passed this ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase
thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections,
sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 3. The Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this

any other action or proceeding as commenced under or by virtue of the provision
amended. The amendment of any provision hereby shall not revive any provision or any
ordinance previously repealed or superseded unless expressly stated herein.
