Presenter(s): Greg Roy, Planning Manager and Jonathan

Background: The Planning and Environmental Commission
(PEC) held a public hearing on the proposed amendment on
August 14, 2023. There was discussion as to the
appropriateness of the variance process and corresponding
criteria for reviewing housing developments on steep slopes.
The PEC also discussed the potential impact of the code
change on the review of large residential structures on steep
slopes. It was determined that the existing review process
based on adopted building codes and other engineering
requirements would be unaffected by removing the need for a
variance for projects on steep slopes within the Hosing District.
The PEC recommended approval in a 6-1-0 vote (Pratt
opposed). Commissioner Pratt expressed a preference to
continue to review potential development on steep slopes
within the Housing District on a case by case basis, using the
existing variance process.

Subject:Negative Interaction between Residents, Owners and Guests
Date:Sunday, September 3, 2023 3:55:47 PM
Thank you for taking the time to consider this concern...
I am writing to share an increasingly common experience I am having while residing in the
Town of Vail. I am a long term renter who has lived in Vail 18 years, having rented in my
current location for just over 13 years. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to be part
of a unique, but increasingly unavailable living situation. My home is on a private pond that is
available for use by the owners in their association. This property is clearly marked from every
entrance point that it is Private Property and is only for use of the owners in the association.
As a year round resident, and because of my proximity to the pond, the owners of the
association have charged me with the task of monitoring unauthorized use of the space. Over
the years the amount of "Guests" trespassing and illegally using the pond for recreation and
fishing has increased from having to intervene once or twice a year to once or twice a week
during the summer months.
I had one of these interactions this morning. When I approached this unidentified group and
asked if they were guests of one of the members of our association, they replied they were
staying in a "unit they rented across the street and the people they rented from said they
could fish the pond." I then informed them of the signs clearly displaying that this was private
property and they were currently trespassing. The "Guests" argued with me for over 10
minutes at which point I inquired about them having a fishing license, which they did not have,
and were unaware they even needed. As self proclaimed proponents of conservation, we
need to do better.
I believe this specific incident is just one example of an upward trend we are experiencing as
residents of the Town of Vail. When I moved to town I was required to take a class to receive
my merchant ski pass. This class taught the courtesies and values that the town expected all of
us to have as representatives of our community. Might I suggest that in order to obtain a
Short Term Rental License, owners ought to be subjected to the same type of class? In a hotel
setting, guests are supervised and given direction by Hotel Staff, Concierges and Licensed
Outfitters. I am aware that this type of lodging is relatively new and that there will be a
learning curve in understanding what is needed to properly regulate. The Town of Vail values
are listed as "Passion, Respect, Trust, Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, and Environmental
Sustainability". My interaction with the "Guests" was in violation of at least 4 of our values. I
do have sympathy for the "Guests" as they were falsely informed of what was included in their
rental by the owners of "the unit across the street". We owe it to ourselves to better educate
our guests and absentee owners the town's expectations as a visitor; as we are the stewards
of our environment.
7
There is currently a level of neglect that is creating increasing frustration between the town
and its full time residents. We all need to co-exist and as far as I can see, we are doing our part
so I expect them to do theirs.
Thank you,
Nicholas Agnew
TOV Resident and Employee

PROCLAMATION NO. 9, SERIES OF 2023
Vail Public Library’s 40th Anniversary 2023
“Celebrating 40 years of providing services and resources to the Vail community and beyond!”
This Library is Your Library - 40 years strong!
WHEREAS,From the early days of Vail and its pioneering founders, the need for a library to
serve the community grew with the town and the resort. Support to build that library into the
civic and cultural institution it is today has grown over the 40 years that the library celebrates in
2023;
WHEREAS, it began as an ad that Mrs. Betty Seibert answered. In 1963, Stan Oliner of the
Colorado State Library brought a “library demonstration” to the Bridge Street shop of owner
Fran Moretti. The first five shelves of what would become Vail Public Library were housed in
Vali Hi Books and Things, where residents could enjoy Vail’s first lending library;
WHEREAS, library services and programs grew over the following years, housed in various
locations until 1983, when Vail Town Council and community leaders completed the library
building on West Meadow Drive, that is enjoyed by community members and resort guests to
this day;
WHEREAS,Vail Public Library continues its mission in 2023, as it celebrates 40 years of
serving its community of users as a public space of welcome and inclusion, connecting all its
visitors with the civic and cultural life of the Vail community;
WHEREAS,Vail Public Library provides high quality services and programs which strengthen
and connect its community of users. Donations help provide for the essential infrastructure that
allows resource sharing among all Colorado libraries, wireless access, digital and print
materials, as well as programs for adults and children in support of education and literacy. All at
no cost to subscribers;
WHEREAS,Support for libraries has never been more important. Libraries build communities
and connection. They are trusted, safe spaces where people come together - virtually and
in-person, to learn, grow, and explore ideas. Libraries play a vital role in strengthening their
communities and an even larger one in connecting those communities through the values of
public service;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Kim Langmaid, Mayor, proclaim July 4, 2023 Vail
Public Library’s 40th Anniversary. I encourage all residents to visit the library to explore the
wealth of resources available.

of all ages navigate the complexities of life, providing access to research, information, and
government services that allow everyone to lead more productive and fulfilling lives;
WHEREAS,libraries contribute to a strong local economy by providing access to the technology
and training that are critical to the success of job-seekers, entrepreneurs, and students;
WHEREAS,in times of crisis, libraries and library professionals play an invaluable role in
supporting their communities both in person and virtually. The shared resources libraries offer
reduce the number of items households buy and dispose of, providing a simple way to save
money, conserve resources, and reduce waste;
WHEREAS,a library card sparks creativity and empowers all people to explore new passions
and interests and pursue a path of lifelong learning;
WHEREAS,libraries are cornerstones of democracy, promoting the free exchange of
information and ideas for all;

Library Card Sign-up Month in Vail, CO and encourage everyone to sign up for their own library
card today.

Mayor and Vail Town Council

RE: Opting-In Proposition 123
Dear Mayor and the Members of the Vail Town Council:
We are forwarding this letter on behalf of the Vail Local Housing Authority in support of
directing the Town staff to submit an application for and become eligible for funding under
Colorado’s Proposition 123.
Proposition 123 will provide an estimated $300 million annually to fund affordable housing
projects, including up to $58 million dollars annually for affordable homeownership efforts.
Projects cannot be funded by Proposition 123 program unless the local community where the
project will be located “opt-in”. Communities must opt-in by (1) establishing a ‘baseline’ of
affordable housing dwellings in their jurisdiction, (2) committing to increase that baseline by 3%
and (3) expediting the development approval process to a maximum of 90 days. Grant funds
from Proposition 123 would help the Town of Vail address the current housing crisis and
achieve the Town’s housing goals by increasing the supply of affordable homes in Vail.
The Vail Local Housing Authority respectfully asks that you direct the Town staff to submit the
Proposition 123 opting-in application without further delay.
Sincerely,
Steve Lindstrom, Chair, VLHA

13.Casualty Loss.
a.If any of the Units are rendered untenable or are damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty at any time prior to 30 days before the end of the Term, and if in the

completed within 30 days after the occurrence of such casualty, then: (i) this Lease shall
terminate only as to the affected Units and all Rent and Utility Charges for the affected
Units shall be payable with respect to the period ending upon the date of such injury or

alternative units if and to the extent such alternative units are acceptable to Lessee.
b.If any of the Units are rendered untenable or are damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty at any time prior to 30 days before the end of the Term, and the
Town determines to rebuild or repair such Units, and if in the Town’s determination such
repairs or rebuilding can substantially be completed within 30 days, the Town shall do so
with reasonable diligence and this Lease and the Subleases of the affected Units shall
not be affected, except that the Rent and utility charges for the affected Units (or a just
and proportionate part thereof according to the nature and extent of the damage which
has been sustained) shall be abated until the affected Units have been so repaired and
restored.
c.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Units are rendered untenable
by reason of fire or other casualty, either Party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this
Lease with regard to the affected Units, and Lessee’s obligations under this Lease shall
be terminated effective as of the termination date. If the Lease is terminated as to less
than all of the Units, Rent will be reduced by the per-Unit rental amount (in effect at such
time) multiplied by the number of Units for which this Lease has been terminated.

Status Report
Report for September 5, 2023
Damage to southeast section of Sandstone Underpass: Contractor is scheduled
for repair this week.
Concerns about too many “A’frame” signs in the villages: Previously town code
prohibited portable signs. A recent US Supreme Court case known as Reed V.
Gilbert has resulted in a change to town code, which requires code enforcement to
contact businesses of signs located on town property, document violations,and track
the number of consecutive days prior to issuing a written notice.

TO: Vail Town Council

DATE: September 5, 2023
SUBJECT: 2024 Après at the Amp Concert Letter of Intent
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memo is to provide background information on the proposed Après at the
Amp concert in April of 2024, and to request a letter of intent for sponsorship of the event.
II. BACKGROUND
In 2022 the Town and Vail Resorts jointly published an RFP for a spring end-of-season concert.
There were multiple proposals for events to occur at Ford Park and a unique proposal from the
Vail Valley Foundation to produce a concert series at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. The
Town and Vail Resorts selected the proposal from the Vail Valley Foundation in December of
2022 for the event in April 2023. With a short four-month planning window, the VVF was able to
successfully produce a weekend of concerts that met the challenges of operating during the
winter. The event, "Après at the Amp" was not only a culmination of the Town and VR's season
long Après programming, but also met the goals of the Town and Vail Resorts by booking
international headlining talent that aligned with the Vail brand. The feedback from the event was
overwhelmingly positive, and the Town, Vail Resorts, and VVF are engaged in producing a
similar event in 2024.
After the event, the VVF, and their talent partner AEG, reviewed the operations, finances, and
guest and community feedback from the inaugural event to determine if it would be feasible to
produce again. The venue itself and de-winterizing it were monumental tasks for the team, but
in the end, the project as a whole was successful. The VVF has stated that any additional
planning time over last year would be a huge benefit for the operations, talent selection, and
event overall. Town staff has reviewed the 2024 event plan with VVF and Vail Resorts and are
confident that financial support of the event will help achieve the stated goals to provide a
positive end of season musical experience for guests, workers and residents. By making a
commitment now, VVF will be able to engage the talent buyers, with the goal of
announcing headliners before the new year.
The Economic Development department recommends the financial support of Après at the Amp
in April of 2024. This request is for a letter of intent subject to final approval of the 2024 budget
by the Town Council. The proposed events budget for 2024 currently includes a placeholder for
$125,000 for this event. Vail Resorts has also budgeted $125,000 for the event.

To:Vail Town Council
From:Public Works Department
Date:September 5, 2023
Subject:Dowd Junction Streambank Stabilization Project Budget Update
I.SUMMARY
The Town of Vail has been working on the design and permitting of the Dowd Junction
Streambank Stabilization Project in a joint effort with ERWSD since 2016. The purpose
of the project is to stabilize the existing retaining wall that supports both the Gore Valley
Trail and ERWSD’s sanitary sewer main. A contract was awarded to Whinnery
Construction, and construction was anticipated to start last fall but due to the timing of
the issuance of the Army Core permit the project had to be delayed until this year. The
updated Army Core permit was recently received with the condition that all streambed
work must stop by October 15th to allow for fish spawning. This restriction will require
the project to be completed in two fall seasons with a completion date of fall 2024.
In order to fully complete this project over the next two fall seasons the project budget
will need to be updated. In 2019 this project had a budget of $2.1M, however in 2020
during COVID the budget was reduced to $700k to realize perceived budget savings
based on the favorable 2019 construction bid from Whinnery Construction. Some of
those savings have since eroded as a result of cost escalation, increased scope to back
fill eroded voids behind existing boulders, and potential additional remobilization costs
for 2024.
In 2021 the project budget was increased by $100k, leaving the current project budget
at $767k. Since this project is a joint project, the Town’s budget currently accounts for a
reimbursement from ERWSD of $300,000. In order to fully complete the project next
year the project budget will need to be supplemented to a total project budget to $1.3M,
with increased reimbursements from ERWSD of $575k, and an additional
reimbursement of $150k from ECO Trails. The net increase to the Town of Vail is
$108k in 2024.
II.RECOMMENDATION

Subsurface Utility Engineering Change Order
II.ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a change order with SGM, Inc to complete the
subsurface utility engineering.
III.BACKGROUND
SGM, Inc is under contract with the Town to complete Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE) in preparation for the Town to continue installation of the Town’s fiber optic
backbone by installing conduit from Fire Station #3 in West Vail to Lionshead along the
S Frontage Rd and the Gore Valley Trail. SUE is required by state law anytime a
project meets certain requirements, and the fiber project meets 4 key requirements.
After SGM began their initial utility investigation it was discovered that there were
significantly more utility conflicts than anticipated. Town staff worked with SGM on
alternative alignments to reduce some of these conflicts prior to starting the required
field investigation (utility potholing), for example avoiding the south roundabout in West
Vail. However, the number of utility potholes is still more than double the original
estimate in the Request for Proposals. It is estimated that the additional scope of work
required to complete the SUE is $130,000.00
Staff originally received 3 proposals for the subsurface Utility Engineering Request for
Proposal ranging from $75,000 - $207,000.00. No additional funding is being requested
with this change order.

DATE: September 5, 2023
SUBJECT: First reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2023, for a Prescribed Regulation
Amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town Code to amend
Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, to allow structures in the Housing
Zone District to be built on a slope of 40% or greater and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC23-0016)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Jonathan Spence
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to amend Section 12-21-10, Development
Restricted to allow structures in the Housing (H) zone district to be built on slopes of 40%
or greater. The current language of this code section does not permit structures on
slopes of 40% or greater except in Single-family Residential, Two-family Residential or
Two-family Primary/Secondary Residential zone districts. The impetus of this proposal is
Town Council Priority 4, an initiative to bring greater alignment between land use
regulations and identified town goals. This minor amendment to the Town Code will
remove an unnecessary review step in the development of deed restricted housing.
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance
No. 17, Series of 2023, on first reading.
III. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The proposed Prescribed Regulation Amendment will add the Housing (H) Zone District
to those districts exempt from the prohibition of structures on slopes of 40% or greater.
Please see Attachment A. Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2023, for the revised language for
Section 12-21-10, Vail Town Code.

Town of Vail 2
IV. BACKGROUND
The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) held a public hearing on the
proposed amendment on August 14, 2023. There was discussion as to the
appropriateness of the variance process and corresponding criteria for reviewing housing
developments on steep slopes. The PEC also discussed the potential impact of the code
change on the review of large residential structures on steep slopes. It was determined
that the existing review process based on adopted building codes and other engineering
requirements would be unaffected by removing the need for a variance for projects on
steep slopes within the Hosing District. The PEC recommended approval in a 6-1-0 vote
(Pratt opposed). Commissioner Pratt expressed a preference to continue to review
potential development on steep slopes within the Housing District on a case by case
basis, using the existing variance process.
V. RECOMMENDED MOTION
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2023, on
first reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council
pass the following motion:
“The Vail Town Council approves, on first reading, Ordinance No. 17, Series of
2023, an ordinance to amend Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, to
allow structures in the Housing Zone District to be built on a slope of 40% or
greater.”
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 17 Series of 2023, the
Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council make the following
findings: “The Vail Town Council finds:”
1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the
adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive
plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning
regulations; and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious
development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural
environment and its established character as a resort and residential
community of the highest quality.”

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: August 14, 2023
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a Prescribed Regulation Amendment pursuant to
Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-21-10
Development Restricted, to allow structures in the Housing Zone District to be
built on a slope of 40% or greater. (PEC23-0016)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Jonathan Spence
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to amend Section 12-21-10, Development
Restricted to allow structures in the Housing (H) zone district to be built on slopes of 40%
or greater. The current language of this code section does not permit structures on slopes
of 40% or greater except in Single-family Residential, Two-family Residential or Two-
family Primary/Secondary Residential zone districts.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, the Town of Vail, is requesting that the Planning and Environmental
Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council to
amend Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, to allow structures in the Housing Zone
District to be built on a slope of 40% or greater. This amendment will allow construction of
housing developments to occur on slopes of 40% or greater in the Housing (H) zone
district, without the need for a variance.
III. BACKGROUND
The Housing zone district was added to the Vail Town Code in 2001, while the restriction
on development on slopes equal to or greater than 40% has been in place since 1978.
This restriction has prevented the construction of multi-family or commercial development
on steep slopes unless a variance is granted.
106
Town of Vail Page 2
Since its inception in 2001, the Housing zone district has been applied to the following
areas to further the development of deed restricted housing:
• Chamonix (Chamonix Townhomes, Development on Parcel E (future)
• Timber Ridge (Lions Ridge and Timber Ridge II)
• Middle Creek (Middle Creek, Residences at Main Vail, West Middle Creek
(future)
• Lower Potato Patch (Solar Vail)
• East Vail (Booth Heights)
Variances have been obtained to allow development on slopes of 40% or greater for the
Residences at Main Vail and the Chamonix Parcel B developments and would be
necessary for future development in the West Middle Creek area without the proposed
text amendment.
IV. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT LANGUAGE
The proposed code section would be amended as follows:
Existing language 12-21-10 Development Restricted:
(A) No structure shall be built in any flood hazard zone or red avalanche hazard area.
No structure shall be built on a slope of 40% or greater except in single-family
residential, two-family residential or two-family primary/secondary residential zone
districts. The term “structure” as used in this section does not include recreational
structures that are intended for seasonal use, not including residential use.
Proposed language 12-21-10 Development Restricted:
(A) No structure shall be built in any flood hazard zone or red avalanche hazard area.
No structure shall be built on a slope of 40% or greater except in the housing,
single-family residential, two-family residential or two-family primary/secondary
residential zone districts. The term “structure” as used in this section does not
include recreational structures that are intended for seasonal use, not including
residential use.

110
Town of Vail Page 6
Vision: An Eye on the Future - We envision Vail as a diverse, resilient, inclusive,
vibrant and sustainable mountain resort community where year-round residents are
afforded the opportunity to live and thrive. We take a holistic approach to maintaining
community, with continuous improvement to our social, environmental, and economic
well being. We create housing solutions by recognizing and capitalizing on our unique
position as North America’s premier international mountain resort community in order
to provide the highest quality of service to our guests, attract citizens of excellence and

Our strategic solutions and actions result in the retention of existing homes, creation of
new and diverse housing infrastructure, and collaboration with community partners. For
Vail, no problem is insurmountable. With a consistent, community-driven purpose and
an entrepreneurial spirit, Vail will lead the industry in innovative housing solutions for
the 21st century. The Town is well positioned financially to undertake this significant

quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents to support a
sustainable year round economy and build a vibrant, inclusive and resilient community.
We do this through acquiring deed restrictions on homes so that our residents have a
place to live in Vail
Policy Statement: Resident Housing as Infrastructure - We acknowledge that the
acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining
community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for
residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community
support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and
other services of the municipal government.
VAIL LAND USE PLAN
CHAPTER II – LAND USE PLAN GOALS / POLICIES:
The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the
series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals
were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions
were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect
a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts
and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review
process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town
Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development
111
Town of Vail Page 7
proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land
Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal.
1. General Growth / Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance
between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and
the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources
should be protected as the Town grows.
1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case
basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas
that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully
controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment.
1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open
space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for
public use.
1.12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed
areas (infill areas).
5. Residential
5.1. Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted
areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist.
5.3. Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts,
assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate
restrictions.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded.
Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites
throughout the community.
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The proposed prescribed regulation amendment does not have any identifiable
112
Town of Vail Page 8
environmental impacts. The existence and extent of environmental impacts are evaluated
during the rezoning and development plan processes.
VIII. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific
purposes of the zoning regulations; and
The proposed text amendment to allow the development within the Housing (H) District
on slopes of 40% or greater furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning
regulations by providing for the growth of an orderly and viable community in a manner
harmonious with the established character as a resort and residential community of high
quality. In these times of unprecedented community housing needs, without the
obtainment of additional deed restricted housing within the Town, the ability to maintain
established community qualities and economic values will be challenging. Community
housing is necessary infrastructure that is critical in furthering the purposes of the zoning
regulations. The proposed text amendment allows the development of this much-needed
community resource in areas within the Housing (H) zone district, on steep slopes,
without the need for a variance.
Staff finds that the proposed text amendment meets this criterion.
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better
achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies
outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the town; and
Staff finds that the proposed amendment will better implement or achieve the applicable
elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan. The amendment allows the development of needed community
housing as identified and supported by the numerous elements of the community plan
including Vail Housing 2027. Per the Land Use Plan, development proposals on hillsides
should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with development sensitive to its
environment. All properties within the Housing (H) zone district have been purposely
identified through the rezoning process as suitable for the development of community
housing, a clear public purpose.
Staff finds that the proposed text amendment meets this criterion.
3. The text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed
since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no
longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and
113
Town of Vail Page 9
Although community/workforce housing has been an identified need since the inception of
the Town of Vail, economic factors including the rapid increase in short-term rentals have
significantly reduced this housing type, previously provided by the private sector. The
development of additional community housing is critical in maintaining Vail’s position as
North America’s premier international mountain resort community. The proposed text
amendment increases the availability of land within the Housing (H) district for such
development. The prohibition of development on slopes of 40% or greater in the Housing
zone district is no longer appropriate.
Staff finds that the proposed text amendment meets this criterion.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal
development objectives; and
Staff finds that the text amendment maintains a harmonious, expedient, workable
relationship among land use regulations consistent with the Town’s development
objectives. The amendment only applies to properties already identified through the
rezoning process as being suitable for the development of community housing, while
removing the unnecessary need for a variance.
Staff finds that the proposed text amendment meets this criterion.
5. Such other factors and criteria the Planning and Environmental Commission
and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendments.
Staff will provide additional information as needed should the PEC and/or council
determine other factors or criteria applicable to the proposed text amendment.
IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and
Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval for the prescribed
regulation amendment to the Vail Town Council. This recommendation is based upon the
review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and
testimony presented.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed prescribed
regulation amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the
114
Town of Vail Page 10
Commission pass the following motion:
"The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval to
the Vail Town Council for a Prescribed Regulation Amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-
7 Amendment, Vail Town Code to amend Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, to
allow structures in the Housing Zone District to be built on a slope of 40% or greater.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed prescribed
regulation amendment, the Community Development Department recommends the
Commission makes the following findings:
“Based upon a review of Section VII of the August 14, 2023, staff memorandum to the
Planning and Environmental Commission, and the evidence and testimony presented, the
Planning and Environmental Commission finds:
1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals,
objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with the development objectives of the Town; and
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the Zoning
Regulations outlined in Section 12-1-2, Purpose, Vail Town Code; and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the
Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a
manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established
character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality."

3.1
A request for the review of a Prescribed Regulation Amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-
7 Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, to
allow structures in the Housing Zone District to be built on a slope of 40% or greater.
(PEC23-0016)
Planner Spence introduces the application. He gives the history and purpose for the application; part of
the goal is to remove barriers in the code to the development of deed restricted housing. When the
Housing zone district is applied, the boards and council have made the determination that the property is
suitable for the development of housing.
Rediker asks why the code discourages building on slopes of 40% or greater.
Spence says at the time it was enacted in the 1970s, there was not the need or consideration to build
housing on steep slopes. The purpose at the time was to prevent housing on these slopes, which may
have negative visible impacts. Since that time there is a greater need for housing, and applying the
Housing zoning designation determines if a site is appropriate for development.
Rediker asks about the dangers of building in steep slopes, like erosion and rock fall. Do these play into
the 40% number?
Spence says the application does not change the requirements related to any type of hazard. The
development can occur safely as it is analyzed through the building permit process.
Rediker asks if an applicant currently would have to apply for a variance for housing on steep slopes?

Spence talks about the variance process and criteria. It’s appropriate to remove the need for the
variance, since the variance criteria speaks more to the uniqueness of a situation and not the safety or
developability of a site – which is addressed elsewhere.
Rediker asks if the variance now is another check on the suitability of a site.
Spence talks about the review process in these cases. The variance doesn’t provide additional review in
terms of the suitability of development.
Rediker asks if there is still review and checks in these cases. These would still occur if we were to pass
the proposed changes today?
Spence says it only changes the need for a variance, there is still adequate review regarding the steep
slopes.
Lipnick asks if projects will still be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as mentioned in memo.
Spence confirms. This will be checked twice, first when the rezoning to Housing is made. The variance
criteria doesn’t lend itself to this. A more appropriate review of this is through the building permit process.
Lipnick asks about sensitivity to the environment. Will that be dealt with case by case?
Spence says permit review is universal, and on steep slopes requires things like soil-testing and Geotech
consultants. These are unaffected by this proposed amendment. The need for deed -restricted housing
does require a balancing. Staff is confident that the rezoning process examines that properties can be
developed while being sensitive to the environment.
Pratt questions whether the rezoning process looks at this. When Middle Creek was rezoned, we were
told none of it was in the 40%. What happened in the rezoning process in this case?
Roy says the lots being looked at were outside of the 40% area. The aim was to keep the developments
on the flatter portions outside of the 40% area.
Pratt says it seems the rezoning checkpoint didn’t work.
Roy says there may be consideration of further development on the lot in areas with steeper slope that
may require a variance under current code.
Jensen asks about a commercial developer down the road having grounds to challenge restrictions on
building on 40% or greater slopes.
Spence says that is not anticipated. The areas with these steep slopes are not generally where
commercial development has occurred. This is bringing the Housing district in line with the current
allowances for other types of housing. The Town has not seen pressure for other types of development
on steep slopes.
Jensen asks about down the road if that may change.
Roy says the legal team would likely not be concerned; the zoning differentiates the use in multiple ways.
Rediker says he would be less concerned if he better understood the limits where this applies. Where
does this apply?
Spence says the areas of steep slopes where housing may occur are predominately on the north side of
the highway. On the south side steep slopes are in areas that are not being considered for Housing,
often in existing low-density neighborhoods (Forest Road)

Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 14, 2023 117
Rediker clarifies that for any potential housing projects, this commission would have the opportunity to
look at the suitability in relation to slope through the rezoning process.
Hagedorn asks if any variance requests of this nature have been denied in the past.
Spence says no.
Rediker understands this is something Council wanted Staff to look at to facilitate the building process.
Did Council look at how a variance is requested today and the criteria and findings.
Spence says that level of analysis did not occur. Council felt the land use code directly influences the
ability to create or realize affordable housing. They directed Staff to look at the code and make
recommendations that would improve the efficiency of development review and creation of affordable
housing.
Smith asks about other safety and review considerations. If these exist why not expand this exception
for other areas?
Spence says the other reason is the visible impact. The focus of the council priority is the development
of deed-restriction housing. A more intensive process would be needed to examine that requirement for
all housing. Aesthetic concerns.
Smith asks about past development in steep slopes, for example Spraddle Creek.
Roy says that sites have platted building envelopes where construction is allowed, on the flatter portions
of the lot, not inclusive of steep slopes.
Smith confirms an unsafe building will not be allowed to be constructed in these slopes.
Rediker references Main Vail and Chamonix Parcel B needing a variance for construction on steep
slopes. Why is there a concern now that the applicant couldn’t come to PEC for a variance? Why not
obtain a variance?
Spence says variances do not set a precedent although they do provide context. The variance standards
and findings are not particularly relevant to the purposes of building on steep slopes. The purpose of this
is not to limit the review of development, the variance was simply identified as a step that has occurred in
the past, may be necessary in the future, but because of the criteria doesn’t speak to the situation at
hand.
Rediker asks why aren’t there provisions in the code that address safety concerns of steep slope sites.
Spence says they are addressed with hazard regulations, as well as the review and reports included with
the building permit process. It is not thought that the variance process adds to those considerations.
Spence and Rediker discuss the existing hazard requirements in 12-21.
Spence says 12-21- 13 refers to single and two-family requirements. They are not quite as rigorous as
multi-family building permits. The life-safety requirements of a multi-family project address these
concerns.
Phillips says having experience with multi-family, the process is significantly more rigorous than it is for
residential. He compares the 30% average language against the greater than 40%. This code was
written in the 1970s when engineering and shoring weren’t as good as what we have now. He talks
about engineering and shoring that has been done on steep slopes with variances. By no means does
multi-family fall under less rigorous requirements, that is part of the building review to look at it rather
than the zoning. He agrees the requirement should be changed because it is currently removing a lot of
3
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 14, 2023 118
buildable area from consideration.
Smith agrees. She references the higher standards for multi-family versus single/two-family in 12-21-13.
Spence confirms.
Rediker is concerned with consistency in the code. He will take Staff’s word that building code will
address life safety concerns. He references town code 12-21 and 1.6 from the land use plan. He wants
to pass something that is harmonious with the other provisions. Why aren’t 12-21-12, and 12-21-13
being amended.
Spence says those are specific for low density residential because those protections don’t exist as
rigorously in the building code as they do for multi-family.
Rediker asks for public comment. There is none.
Pratt discloses he was involved with SolarVail. They did get a variance for minor encroachment into
hillside. He continues to feel that is the appropriate task to take, saying this will be picked up in the
rezoning proces didn’t happen with West Middle Creek. He goes back to 12-1-2; 5, 7-8, 9. Also Vail Land
Use plan ch.11 (1.6, 1.12), Residential 5.1. These are big buildings that will have big impacts, it should
stay in the variance process that can be reviewed on a case by case basis rather than a blanket
allowance.
Hagedorn says there are inevitably conflicting portions of the code, can you develop affordable housing
without creating density? This is a design and constructability issue, not related to uniqueness or
hardship per the variance criteria. If you’re concerned about this there are still checkpoints in the review
process, this is more of a norm than hardship. He agrees with Phillips, construction techniques have
improved since the 1970s. He is for removing ambiguity and unnecessary steps from the land use
process; this removes an obstacle when all variances have been approved anyway. It furthers the
Town’s goals for the development of deed restricted housing. Are there other districts where similar
changes may be appropriate?
Rediker agrees there is an inherent conflict in some of the land use plans and code. He is more
comfortable that you can allow this to proceed without seeking a variance while still safeguarding safety
and the environment. He would like to know more about the location of these areas, nothing was
presented today.
Jensen says the challenge of affordable housing is the biggest issue this community and valley faces. He
supports this change, someone will have the opportunity to invest the time to figure out how to do the
projects on these sites, it is an encouragement to think bigger. There will be plenty of opportunities for
the Town to review and ensure they meet all the requirements.
Smith says its discriminatory to exclude multi-family while allowing the exception for single family and
two-family residential. When variances become the norm, it indicates the code as written does not meet
the Town goals. The variance process does not add consistency or meaningful review in these cases
beyond what is already existing.
Lipnick is comforted by more restrictive requirements for multi-family and commercial projects. More
deed-restricted housing is the number one priority for this town and the valley. The hazards and safety
measures will be enforced, there is better technology to look at the hazards as well as construction
techniques.
Rediker asks about 12-21. He wants to confirm that the requirements for these districts are less than
what would be required for multi-family under the building code? We don’t need additional code
provisions?

5.Information Update
5.1 Transportation Master Plan Update
Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, gives an update on the Transportation Master Plan update. He goes
through a presentation on the elements of the update.
He answers commissioner questions on some of the proposed bike/pedestrian path extensions.
He talks about landscaping, lighting, wayfinding, and signage. He addresses speed limits and transit.
Smith and Kassmel discuss how transit ridership relates to visitation numbers. Kassmel addresses
potential transit service improvements. He walks through regional transit improvements. He talks about
facilities and infrastructure improvements. He talks about the parking data and the methodology. He talks
about parking management options.
Smith asks about conflict and safety issues. Kassmel addresses that relationship.
Jensen says what could be the priorities for the first five years versus longer projects down the road.
Pratt observes the frontage road overflow happens during the week more and more. How does that
factor into management strategies? Kassmel speaks to some of the trends, Fridays and Saturdays are
the busiest.
Pratt points out the conflicts between pedestrians, bikes, and e-bikes, keeping that safe. Kassmel
outlines some of the options.
Rediker addresses concerns with the speed of vehicles, particularly within West Vail. He encourages the
Town not to raise speed limits for that reason.
Jensen gives Council credit for reducing amount of free time in parking garages.
Phillips asks if there are any restrictions from CDOT regarding overflow parking on frontage.
Kassmel says there is an agreement limiting the number of days in different areas.
Hagedorn asks if the Eagle Valley Trail Initiative could be a partner. Kassmel says that is a good
opportunity, they will look at possible grants and partners.
Pratt asks about the number of cars going to trailheads, particularly in east vail and beyond.
Bobby Lipnick made a motion to Recommend for approval with the findings on pg. 10 of the staff memo.;
Robyn Smith seconded the motion Passed (7 - 0).

Kassmel says it is being looked at, something like the Booth Falls shuttle has been effective.
5.2 Environmental Department Update - Car Share
Beth Markham, Environmental Sustainability Manager, gives a presentation on carsharing. She walks
through different carshare program models.
Lipnick asks about third-party vendors in Vail. Markham says they have not been here to her knowledge.
Jensen wonders if the Town could implement a fee -in-lieu that could support programs like this,
particularly for some of the larger housing projects. Also what are the management limitations in terms of
time and distance.
Markham gives examples of some programs around the state.
Rediker and Markham discuss the self-managed model as used in Aspen.
Lipnick asks about the operation of third-party providers.
Smith talks about some of the models being used in California, which is a leader in the field.
Jensen talks about the rentals at the Eagle County Airport, would they be interested in expanding with
support. They’re in that business, it could be a public-private partnership.
Rediker ask about the maintenance of third party managed vehicles. Markam says the user is often
responsible for refilling or recharging, with varying costs.
Pratt asks about self-driving vehicles. Markham says that is still an emerging field.
Jensen asks where the Town is on this. It seems like the Town may need to invest in a pilot program to
learn how it would work in Vail.
Markham says that is an approach the Town is looking at whether individually or with regional partners. It
is still early in the process; they are collecting the research and feedback from the boards and public. A
needs assessment will also be a next step.
Smith says that assessment will be critically important. That is the best place to start. She recommends
not overlooking the peer-to-peer sharing option.
Markham talks about potential funding and grant opportunities. She outlines next steps.
Hagedorn says electric vehicles in the mix is great, but don’t discount traditional vehicles as well. From
the lens of the PEC, he has concerns about the stickiness of the program. With larger housing projects,
reduced parking is predicated on programs like these, and he has concerns a program goes defunct
when it was relied upon for parking and transportation management.
Pratt says it seems like big investment. Are there other paths or options with less cost and barriers.
5.3 Vail Civic Area Implementation
Matt Gennett, Community Development Director, takes questions.
Rediker asks about the role of the PEC representative, are they conveying the thoughts of the entire
PEC?

Gennett talks about the composition of the task force. Mr. Lipnick would be a representative of the PEC
on that task force. He will be the conduit between the PEC and the task force meetings.
Rediker says the information update will be important. If the task force looks at Lipnick as the PEC voice,
the whole PEC needs to be aware of what is going on.
Gennett says that will be a part of the role.

Subject:Load and Delivery Ordinance Change
On September 1st, the Town of Vail will begin a pilot program involving high volume commercial
carriers (HVCC’s), specifically UPS, FedEx, and DHL. The pilot will involve removing the
HVCC’s from the Village Core and giving them the option of purchasing a dock permit or
delivering from legal parking within the Town.
Because of this pilot, we are requesting to amend the current load and delivery ordinance. Section
7-11-4J exempts HVCC’s from the current ordinance. We would like to remove that section so
appropriate enforcement can occur if there is a violation. Under section 7-12-2, we will also
remove the definition of HVCC’s.
In addition to the HVCC change, we would also like to strengthen the verbiage addressing the
Town of Vail loading and delivery maps. Sections 7-11-2 and 7-11-3B will add the verbiage, The
Town Clerk may amend such maps upon a determination that such amendment is of a technical
nature and consistent with the purposes of this Chapter. This will allow staff to adjust the map
when needed.
Originally, staff intended to make these changes at the end of the pilot. Because of recent
operational challenges, we feel it is necessary to make these changes now.

Subject:Vehicle Booting
There has been a recent increase in “booting” in Vail to deal with private parking problems. Some
of these booting interactions have become violent and required a police response. Our current
booting ordinance does not give the police department a lot of options for enforcement or
compliance. We would like to update our ordinance to come in line with the Public Utilities
Commission (PUC).
We have received numerous complaints from booting incidents. People have complained about
improper signage, lack of contact information to have the boot removed, and aggressive tactics
from the booting companies. Updating our booting ordinance will allow the police department to
have a better understanding of which companies are performing this service, who their local
representatives are, what their PUC license number is and their plan to stay in compliance with
PUC and Vail regulations.
There are several significant changes we are requesting. Below is a list of those changes;
No booting without a PUC permit.
Comply with all PUC rules.
Companies must obtain a permit from the TOV to operate in Vail.
Strict rules for proper notice of parking regulations are provided at the time of the violation
(permanent sign posted near each entrance satisfies this rule).
All fees must adhere to PUC rules.
Rules for an appeal process through the TOV.
Penalty structure.

Town of Vail Page 2
During the second reading of this ordinance, Council requested a few changes. We have deleted
all references to the application fee. We have added the PUC license needs to be displayed on the
vehicle. Section 7-3B-8(K)(5) of the ordinance states that an allegation of any intentional damage
to the boot is not covered by this ordinance and ‘shall not prevent the vehicle’s release’. As such,
if a complaint came in of someone intentionally damaging a boot, we would treat it like any other
criminal complaint, and officers will make an independent judgement as to whether a crime had
been committed.
We are asking Council to approve changes to the booting ordinance.
