(PEC080028 and PEC080030)
Applicant: Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning
Group LLC
Planner: Warren Campbell
SUMMARY
The applicant, Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
LLC, is requesting final review of an amended major exterior alteration, pursuant
to Section 12-7H-7, Major Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code,
to allow for the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex
(Strata), and a request for final review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to
Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses: Generally (On All Levels Of A Building Or
Outside Of A Building), Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a private
parking lot, located at 701 and 705 West Lionshead Circle. The approved
redevelopment includes a mixture of dwelling units, time share units, lodge
dwelling units, lock-offs, an employee housing unit (EHU), commercial/retail
space, miscellaneous project amenities, and a private parking club. The
proposed amendments are the reduction of lock-off units, increase in the number
of time share units, an increase in the size of the on-site employee housing unit,
a reduction in GRFA, a reduction in the number of excess parking spaces include
within the private parking club, and a revised employee housing mitigation plan.
Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and
adopted criteria for review, the Community Development Department is
recommending the Planning and Environmental Commission approves, with
conditions, the applicant's request for an amended major exterior alteration and
conditional use. A complete summary of Staff's review is provided in Section VIII
of this memorandum.
•r
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The approved redevelopment of the sites known as the Lionshead Inn and the
Lionshead Inn Annex includes three levels of below grade parking and seven
floors of residential, commercial, and common amenities above grade. The
Strata development received approval of three (3) different development review
applications on October 22, 2007. Each application is facilitated the
redevelopment proposal. The development applications included:
A major exterior alteration application for the structure containing
dwelling units, time share units, lodge dwelling units, lock-offs, an
employee housing unit, commercial/retail space, and amenities for
the project; and
A conditional use permit application for "multiple-family residential
dwelling units" located on the first floor or street level of the
structure.
A conditional use permit application for "private parking lot"
located within the subterranean levels of the structure.
The key elements of the October 22, 2007 approved development plan included:
• The inclusion of 51 dwelling units, 14 time share units, 12 lock-off units,
and 12 lodge dwelling units.
• The inclusion of one Type IV employee housing unit measuring
approximately 875 square feet.
• The inclusion of 127,606 square feet of Gross Residential Floor Area
(GRFA).
• The provision of a front desk, lobby, lounge area, pool and hot tubs,
business center, on site laundry services, and meeting/conference space.
• The inclusion of two commercial/retail spaces measuring approximately
7,117 square feet.
• The provision of 183 parking spaces in three below grade floors. This
would be 69 in excess of the required 114 parking spaces.
• The provision of a fully enclosed, two bay loading and delivery facility and
an enclosed trash receptacle.
• A request for a conditional use to allow for four dwelling units on the first
floor of the project.
• A request for a conditional use to include the 69 excess parking spaces
within a private parking club.
The applicant is proposing to amend portions of their approved development
plan. In order to accomplish these amends the applicants have submitted two
applications. Those applications include the following:
• A major exterior alteration application to allow for a change in the
residential unit type mix in the structure; and
• A conditional use permit application to allow for a reduction in the
number of parking spaces included in the "private parking lot"
located within the subterranean levels of the structure.
2
The key elements of the proposed amended development plan:
• A reduction in the number of lock-of units from 12 to 8 and the increase in
the number of time share units from 14 to 16; bringing the total unit make-
up of the structure to 51 dwelling units, 16 time share units, 8 lock-off
units, and 12 lodge dwelling units.
• The increase in the one Type IV employee housing unit on site from 875
square feet to 909 square feet.
• The reduction in the GRFA on the site from 127,606 square feet to
125,657 square feet of Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA).
• The provision of 169 parking spaces in three below grade floors. This
would be 53 in excess of the required 116 parking spaces.
• A request for a reduction in the number of the parking spaces to be
included within a private parking club from 69 to 53 spaces.
• The bulk, mass, and height of the structure is not proposed to change.
A vicinity map identifying the location of the development site has been attached
for reference (Attachment A). A copy of the document entitled Application for a
Maior Exterior Alteration and Conditional Use permit in the Lionshead Mixed
Use-1 Zone District to Allow for an Amendment to the Approval for the
Redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn Properties dated revised June 4, 2008
(Attachment B), and a reduced set of plans dated June 3, 2008, are attached for
reference (Attachment C).
III. BACKGROUND
• The subject property was annexed into the Town of Vail by Ordinance No.
8, Series of 1969, which became effective on August 23, 1969.
• The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Annex (Fabulous Vail Glo), and Enzian
were initially developed as a single project in the late 1960's and early
1970's. They were later subdivided onto separate parcels resulting in the
existing Enzian structure being located on a parcel which is enclosed by
the lot the Lionshead Inn is located upon.
• Since the initial construction there has been little activity on the existing
structures. There were several redevelopment proposal and approvals
granted in the late 1980's and in the 1990's; however, none were followed
through.
• In April of 2006, the Town Council passed a moratorium on all new
development within Lionshead until a policy for retaining a live bed base
could be determined. In July of 2006, the Town Council passed
Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, which amended portions of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to include the provision for the
inclusion of "Live Beds" in all projects that included hotel rooms and other
lodge style units in Lionshead.
• In February of 2007, the Town Council passed Ordinances No. 7 and No.
8, Series of 2007, which enacted regulations for the provision of
employee housing units through several possible mitigation methods for
all projects in the Lionshead Mixed-Use 1 district.
• On August 13, 2007, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a
work session to discuss the Fogata project. At that hearing the
Commission generally expressed support for the bulk, mass, and height
of the proposed structure. Several members of the Commission identified
a goal of locating a portion of the required employee housing mitigation
within the project. There was discussion regarding several specific
architectural elements and their lack of compliance with the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan.
On October 22, 2007, the Planning and Environmental Commission
approved a major exterior alteration, conditional use permit for multi-
family residential units on the first floor, and a conditional use permit for a
a private parking lot, to facilitate the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn
and Lionshead Inn Annex. The project was named Fogata at the time of
this approval. The name has since been changed to Strata.
On April 14, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission
approved an amendment to the approved Strata employee housing
mitigation plan. The approved amendment included the applicant deed
restricting one 870 square foot managers unit on-site, seven dwelling
units off-site totaling 11,686 square feet, and paying a fee-in-lieu for the
remaining 75.1 square feet required to be mitigated in the amount of
$17,772.40.
On June 3, 2008, the Town Council denied a request to proceed forward
through the development review process with a vehicle pull-off on West
Lionshead Circle to serve as a guest loading and unloading zone.

V. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
Staff has provided portions of the Vail Town Code and several master plans
which are relevant to the proposed topics for the review of the proposed
redevelopment proposal.
Zoning Regulations
Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 Zone District (in part)
12-7H-1: PURPOSE:
The Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district is intended to provide sites for a
mixture of multiple-family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, time
shares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial
establishments in a clustered, unified development. Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone
district, in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, is
intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities
appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the
desirable qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development
standards. This District is meant to encourage and provide incentives for
redevelopment in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties
to redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically
vibrant lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this Zone
District include increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height,
and density over the previously established zoning in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to
create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment
consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Additionally, the
incentives are created to help finance public off-site improvements adjacent to
redevelopment projects. With any developmenf/redevelopment proposal taking
advantage of the incentives created herein, the following amenities will be
evaluated: streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza
redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements.
12-7H-5: CONDITIONAL USES; GENERALLY (ON ALL LEVELS OF A
BUILDING OR OUTSIDE OF A BUILDING):
The following conditional uses shall be permitted, subject to the issuance of a
conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of chapter 16 of this title:
Bed and breakfasts as further regulated by section 12-14-18 of this
title.
Brewpubs.
Coin operated laundries.
Commercial storage.
Private outdoor recreation facilities, as a primary use.
Public buildings, grounds, and facilities.
Public or private parking lots.
Public park and recreation facilities.
Public utility and public service uses.
•r
6
Seasonal uses or structures utilized for more than fourteen (14)
days.
Single-family residential dwellings.
Ski lifts and tows.
Television stations.
Two-family residential dwellings.
Additional uses determined to be similar to conditional uses
described in this section, in accordance with the provisions of
section 12-3-4 of this title.
12-7H-8: COMPLIANCE BURDEN:
It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the
evidence before the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design
Review Board that the proposed exterior alteration or new development is in
compliance with the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district, that
the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan and that the proposal does not otherwise have a
significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood, and that the
proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan.
12-7H-18: MITIGATION OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS:
Property owners/developers shall also be responsible for mitigating direct
impacts of their development on public infrastructure and in all cases mitigation
shall bear a reasonable relation to the development impacts. Impacts may be
determined based on reports prepared by qualified consultants. The extent of
mitigation and public amenity improvements shall be balanced with the goals of
redevelopment and will be determined by the planning and environmental
commission in review of development projects and conditional use permits.
Mitigation of impacts may include, but is not limited to, the following: roadway
improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, streetscape improvements,
stream tract/bank improvements, public art improvements, and similar
improvements. The intent of this section is to only require mitigation for large
scale redevelopmenbdevelopment projects which produce substantial off site
impacts.
Chapter 12-16: Conditional Uses Permits (in part)
Section 12-16-1: Purpose; Limitations
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title,
specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a
conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics,
conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect
to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding
properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure
compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and
surrounding properties in the Town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in
the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations
as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the
conditional uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the
Town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions
7
cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use
permits shall be denied.
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (in part)
Chapter 2, Introduction
2.1 Purpose of the Master Plan (in part)
"This master plan was initiated by the Town of Vail to encourage
redevelopment and new development initiatives in the Lionshead
study area. Both public and private interests have recognized that
Lionshead today lacks the economic vitality of Vail and fails to
offer a world class resort experience. Lionshead's economic
potential has been inhibited by a number of recurrent themes:
• Lack of growth in accommodation units ("hot beds');
• Poor retail quality;
• Deterioration of existing buildings;
• Uninteresting and disconnected pedestrian environment;
• Mediocre architectural character; and the
• Absence of incentives for redevelopment.
This master is a comprehensive guide for property owners
proposing to undertake development or redevelopment of their
properties and the municipal officials responsible for planning
public improvements. The plan outlines the Town's objectives and
goals for the enhancement of Lionshead and proposes
recommendation, incentives, and requirements for redevelopment
and new development."
2.2 Definition of a Master Plan
In the development of the Lionshead Master Plan, the following
definition has been used as the basis for this work:
A master plan is a guide, a flexible framework for future action. It
articulates a community's fundamental land use policies,
principles, and goals in a broad and general way. It plans for the
future physical development or redevelopment of an area of the
community, including its functional and circulation systems and its
public facilities.
The land use policies in a master plan are generally implemented
through zoning ordinances. Existing zoning and land use codes
may be modified and new provisions enacted in order to conform
to the master plan and carry out the plan's objectives.
A master plan does not convey approval for particular
development proposals or concepts, nor can it be implemented in
a short time frame. After adoption of the Lionshead Master Plan,
a
r'
every development proposal will have to go through the applicable
development review and approval process, with its attendant
public notices and public hearings. A proposal's adherence to the
policies contained in the adopted master plan will be one of the
factors analyzed by staff, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC), the Design Review Board (DRB), and the
Town Council (as applicable) in determining whether to approve or
disapprove the specific proposal.
2.3 Policy Objectives
The Town Council adopted six policy objectives on November 4,
1996 to outline the important issues to be addressed in the master
plan and to provide a policy framework for the master planning
process.
2.3.1 Renewal and Redevelopment
Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to
become a warmer, more vibrant environment for guests
and residents. Lionshead needs an appealing and
coherent identity, a sense of place, a personality, a
purpose, and an improved aesthetic character.
2.3.2 Vitality and Amenities
We must seize the opportunity to enhance guest
experience and community interaction through expanded
and additional activities and amenities such as performing
arts venues, conference facilities, ice rinks, streetscape,
parks and other recreational improvements.
2.3.3 Stronger Economic Base Through Increased Live Beds
In order to enhance the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal
and redevelopment in Lionshead must promote improved
occupancy rates and the creation of additional bed base
('live beds" or "warm beds') through new lodging products.
2.3.4 Improved Access and Circulation
The flow of pedestrian, vehicular, bicycle and mass transit
traffic must be improved within and through Lionshead.
2.3.5 Improved Infrastructure
The infrastructure of Lionshead (streets, walkways,
transportation systems, parking, utilities, loading and
delivery systems, snow removal and storage capacity) and
its public and private services must be upgraded to support
redevelopment and revitalization efforts and to meet the
service expectations of our guests and residents.
9
2.3.6 Creative Financing for Enhanced Private Profits and Public
Revenues
Financially creative and fiscally realistic strategies must be
identified so that adequate capital may be raised from all
possible sources to fund desired private and public
improvements.
Chapter 4, Master Plan Recommendations - Overall Study Area
This section of the master plan addresses issues that affect Lionshead as a
whole. These issues, and recommendations to address them, should be
considered in all planning and policy decisions as Lionshead develops.
4.8 Parking
Parking is a critical component in a mixed-use resort environment
such as Lionshead, and any efforts to enhance this component
should adhere to the following goals and guidelines:
a. Parking must be sufficient to meet demand. Correctly
assessing parking demand in an environment such as
Lionshead is difficult but extremely important.
Overestimating parking demand can be as damaging as
underestimating demand due to the extreme expense of
parking space (especially if structured) in a real estate
environment such as the Vail Valley. Likewise, parking is a
large consumer of ground and should be designed to occupy
as little real estate as possible. In tight margin developments
such as mid-range hotels and localslemployee housing, the
expense of parking can be the deciding factor as to the
economic viability of the project. Due to these attributes of
parking, it is important that true demand, or desired demand,
be distinguished from actual usage. For example, the "free
after three" program currently in place for the Town of Vail
parking structures has undoubtedly increased the usage of
these structures during the evening hours (the Lionshead
structure filled in the evening for the first time in 1998).
However, there has not been a corresponding increase in
sales tax revenue, which was the original intent of "free after
three". (Note- concrete studies regarding the utilization of the
"free after three" program have not been conducted and it is
strongly recommended that this occur if the program is to
continue). It is hypothesized that a significant portion of
people utilizing the free parking program are in fact employees
or people that would have used transit or other means of
access if the parking were not as readily available. In other
words, parking usage often will rise to fill the available space,
but the profile of the user may not be who the parking was
intended for. To be concise, the parking supply in Lionshead
and the Town of Vail needs to not only meet the demand, it
needs to meet the desired demand and should be structured
10
or programmed in such as way to do so. Parking is important,
but too expensive and land consuming to be provided without
solid reasoning.
a. Parking should be visually inconspicuous. Parking should be
structured below ground whenever possible. Surface parking
areas should be heavily screened with landscaping, berms,
and walls. Expanses of asphalt should be interrupted with
islands of landscaping or replaced with pedestrian quality
paving materials. Surface parking areas should be avoided in
or near the retail pedestrian core area. Although structured
parking may be more desirable visually, it must be properly
designed so as not to detract from the guest's arrival
experience.
4.9 Housing
Recent community surveys and grass-roots planning efforts such
as Vail Tomorrow have identified the lack of locals housing as the
most critical issue facing the Vail community. Early in the
Lionshead master planning process, west Lionshead was
identified as an opportunity area to implement some of the
community's housing goals, particularly relating to employee
housing. These opportunities and associated issues are outlined
below.
4.9.1 No Net Loss of Employee Housing
Ground rule number five of the master plan states that
there shall be no net loss of employee housing in
Lionshead as redevelopment occurs.
4.9.3 Policy Based Housing Opportunities
The first means of implementing housing goals in
Lionshead is through policy based requirements such as
the employee generation ordinance currently being
pursued by the Vail Town Council. As required by a future
ordinance, all development and redevelopment projects,
as a prerequisite to project approval, should provide
housing for employees generated and to the extent
possible this housing should be located in the Lionshead
area.
Resolution No. 4, Series of 2007 (in part)
Policy Objective 2.3.3 - Stronger Economic Base Through Increased Live
Beds
In order to enhance the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and redevelopment in
Lionshead must promote improved occupancy rates and the creation of
additional bed base ("live beds" or "warm beds') through new lodging products.
Live beds and warm beds are best described as residential or lodging rooms or
II
units that are designed for occupancy by visitors, guests, individuals, or families
on a short term rental basis. In order to improve occupancy rates and create
additional bed base in Lionshead, applications for new development and
redevelopment projects which include a residential component shall provide live
beds in the form of accommodation units, fractional fee club units, lodge dwelling
units, timeshare units, attached accommodation units (i. e, lock-off units), or
dwelling units which are included in a voluntary rental management program and
available for short term rental. Further, it is the expressed goal of this Plan that
in addition to creating additional bed base through new lodging products, there
shall be no net loss of existing live beds within the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan study area.
Chapter 4 Recommendations-Overall Study Area
Note: According to Chapter 4 of the Master Plan,
"This section of the master plan addresses issues that affect Lionshead as a
whole. These issues - and recommendations to address them - should be
considered in all planning and policy decisions as Lionshead redevelops."
4.13 Live Beds
The maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of the live bed base are
critical to the future success of Lionshead and as such, special emphasis should
be placed on increasing the number of live beds in Lionshead as the area
undergoes redevelopment. The Lionshead area currently contains a large
percentage of the Town's overall lodging bed base. The bed base in Lionshead's
consists of a variety of residential and lodging products including hotels,
condominiums, timeshares and hybrids of all three. The vast majority of live
beds in Lionshead are not accommodation units in hotels, but instead, in dwelling
units in residential condominiums such as the Vail 21, Treetops, Antlers Lodge,
Lion Square Lodge, Lifthouse Lodge, Landmark Tower and Townhomes,
Lionshead Arcade, and Montaneros, all of which have some form of
rental/property management program that encourages short term rental of
dwelling units when the owners are not in residence. It has been the experience
in Lionshead that condominium projects which include a voluntary rental
management program have occupancy rates which exceed the occupancy rate
of hotel products, and therefore tend to provide more live beds and produce more
lodging tax revenues to the Town.
Applications for new development or redevelopment which maintain, preserve,
and enhance the live bed base in Lionshead have a significantly greater chance
of approval in the development review process than those which do not.
4.13.1 Live Bed Definition
Pursuant to Policy Objective 2.3.3, live beds (and warm beds) are defined
as residential or lodging rooms or units that are designed for occupancy
by visitors, guests, individuals, or families, on a short term rental basis. A
live bed may include the following residential products: accommodation
units, fractional fee club units, lodge dwelling units, timeshare units,
attached accommodation units (i. e., lock-off units), and dwelling units
which are included in a voluntary rental management program and
available for short term rental.
12
Y'
4.13.2 Location of Live Beds
Live beds should be located in Lionshead pursuant to the Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 and 2 zone districts. All properties within Lionshead, when
developing or redeveloping and providing new residential or lodging
products, should provide live beds as defined herein.
4.13.3 Hotel-types of Services and Amenities
To aid in the furtherance of Policy Objective 2.3.3 of the Plan, the creation
of additional live beds should include hotel-types of services and
amenities. Such services and amenities may include, but not be limited
to, the operation of a front desk, registration/reservation capabilities,
recreational amenities, guest drop-off, on-site management, etc. These
types of services and amenities in multiple family residential dwellings will
increase the likelihood that the dwelling units will be made available for
short term occupancy and help to promote improved occupancy rates.
4.13.4 Review of New Development and Redevelopment Projects
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the policies
and direction given by this Plan with respect to live beds when reviewing
new development and redevelopment projects in Lionshead. Applications
for new development or redevelopment maintain the live bed base in
Lionshead. Applications for new development and redevelopment which
enhance the live bed base have a significantly greater chance of approval
in the development review process than those which do not. A proposal's
adherence to the policies contained in the adopted master plan will be
one of the factors analyzed by staff, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC), the Design Review Board (DRB), and the Town
Council (as applicable) in determining whether to approve or disapprove
the specific proposal.
5.15 Lionshead Inn, Lionshead Annex, Enzian Cluster
Redevelopment and/or enhancement of the buildings in this cluster at
West Lionshead Circle and South Frontage Road (see figure 5-19) is
encouraged.
5.15.1 The Pedestrian Street
The existing structures are recessed from the street, elevated above it,
and separated from it by surface parking lots. To improve the pedestrian
character of the neighborhood, a better relationship with the street is
desirable. The principal objective for redevelopment in this area is to
engage the surrounding pedestrian environment, either by adding building
elements toward the street or by lowering the finish grade at the entries
so that they are closer to the level of the street.
5.15.2 Access and Street Frontage
The existing accesses into these properties should be adjusted to align
with the opposing curb cuts on the east side of West Lionshead Circle.
The street edge should be strengthened for pedestrian use with
landscaping, enhanced signage, and retaining walls as described in the
site design guidelines, chapter six. The Lionshead Inn secured a permit
in the past which is now expired to add another vehicular access point
13
from the South Frontage Road, and the property owner is encouraged to
pursue the opportunity to screen the surface parking lot on the north and
regrade the lot to reduce the significant cross-slope.
5.15.3 Building Height
Because it sits considerably above the frontage road, the Lionshead Inn
is encouraged to explore a ground level or lower floor infill solution if
development scenarios are pursued. Additional building height, if
proposed, must conform to the design guidelines.
5.15.4 Preservation of Existing Live Beds
The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Annex presently contain 85
accommodation units. Given the importance and need for live beds to the
vitality and success of the community, any future redevelopment of the
sites shall ensure the preservation of short term accommodation on the
site. The preservation of live beds should focus on maintaining the
number of existing live beds and the amount of gross residential square
footage devoted to that use on the site. With this in mind, the quality of
the existing live bed base could be upgraded and the rooms could be
reconfigured to create increased lodging opportunities. In no instance,
however, shall the amount of gross residential floor area devoted to live
beds be reduced. The construction of "attached accommodation units"
"lodge dwelling units", "timeshare units", "fractional fee club units", and
dwelling units in a voluntary rental program, as defined in the Zoning
Regulations, could significantly increase the availability of short term
rental opportunities within the building.
Vail Land Use Plan
The Vail Land Use Plan was adopted by the Vail Town Council on November 18,
1986. The plan is intended to serve as a basis from which future decisions may
be made regarding land use within the valley. The primary focus of the Vail Land
Use Plan is to address the long-term needs and desires of the Town as it
matures. The Town of Vail has evolved from a small ski resort founded in 1962
with approximately 190,000 annual skier visits and virtually no permanent
residents to a community with 4,500 permanent residents. The Town is faced
with the challenge of creatively accommodating the increase in permanent
residency as well as the increase in skier visits, while preserving the important
qualities that have made Vail successful. This is a considerable challenge, given
the fact that land within the Valley is a well-defined finite resource, with much of
the land already developed at this juncture. The Vail Land Use Plan was
undertaken with the goal of addressing this challenge in mind.
A secondary purpose of the Vail Land Use Plan was to analyze a series of
properties owned by the Town of Vail, to determine their suitability for various
types of community facilities.
The goals articulated in the plan reflect the desires of the citizenry. The goal
statements that were developed reflect a general consensus of the comments
shared at public meetings. The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to
14
Ip I
be used as the Town's adopted policy guidelines in the review process for new
development proposals.
According to the Official Town of Vail Land Use Plan map, the applicant's
proposed redevelopment site is located with the "Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan" land use category. Pursuant to the Plan, the "Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan" land use category description,
"Included in this category are those properties which are identified as
being included in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan boundaries.
Properties located within this land use category shall be encouraged to
redevelop, per the Master Plan recommendations, as it has been found
that it is necessary in order for Vail to remain a competitive four-season
resort. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to encourage a
safe, convenient and an aesthetically-pleasing guest experience. The
range of uses and activities appropriate in the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan (LRMP) land use category may include skier and resort
services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restrooms, ticket sales,
clubs, public plazas, open spaces, parking and loading/delivery
facilities/structures, public utilities, residential, lodges, accommodation
units, deed restricted employee housing, retail businesses, professional
and business offices, personal services, and restaurant uses."

VIII. CRITERIA
Major Exterior Alteration
Section 12-71-1-8, Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, outlines the review
criteria for major exterior alteration applications proposed within the Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 (LMU-1) zone district. According to Section 12-71-1-8, Vail Town
Code, a major exterior alteration shall be reviewed for compliance with the
following criteria:
1. That the proposed major exterior alteration is in compliance with the
purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district;
Staff Response:
The purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district are stated in
Section 12-71-1-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code. As stated, the Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 zone district is intended to provide sites within the area of
Lionshead for a mixture of multiple-family dwellings, hotels, fractional fee
clubs, restaurants, skier services and commercial/retail establishments.
The development standards prescribed for the district were established to
provide incentives for development in accordance with the goals and
objectives of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. In reviewing
the proposed Strata amendments to the approved development plan for
compliance with the expressed purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use-1
zone district, staff finds that the amended major exterior alteration
application complies with the intent of the zone district. The applicant is
16
.1
proposing to develop 51 dwelling units, 16 time share units, 12 lodge
dwelling units, 8 lock-offs, one (1) employee housing unit, and 7,117
gross square feet of commercial. In conjunction with this combination of
uses the applicant is proposing several amenities such as lobby and front
desk, pool and hot tub, meeting room, and laundry service to encourage
the incorporation of as many units into a rental pool as possible.
Employee Housing Provision
In February of 2007, the Town Council passed Ordinances No. 7 and No.
8, Series of 2007, which enacted regulations for the provision of
employee housing units through several possible mitigation methods for
all projects in the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 district. Within these
ordinances a nexus was established between commercial and residential
development and the generation of employees was established. In
adopting these ordinances a methodology was established to determine
the impact of a commercial and residential development on the need for
employee housing at a goal of providing 30% of the housing generated by
a project.
Further more there were provisions for meeting the requirement for
providing employee housing through several different options or
combination of options. The options include:
• Provision of on-site units;
• Conveyance of property on-site;
• Provision of off-site units;
• Payment of fees-in-lieu; and
• Conveyance of property off-site
A proposed development or redevelopment may choose to propose any
of the above options or combination of options. Within the two
Ordinances, the Planning and Environmental Commission was given the
authority to review an applicant's proposal for mitigating the employee
generation of a project and grant approval of the proposal. There are
some specific instances were the Town Council must also accept the
proposal for mitigating the employee requirement generated by a project.
On October 22, 2007, Strata was approved by the Planning and
Environmental Commission with a single 870 square foot manager's
employee housing unit on-site and a condition that the applicant pay a fee
of $2,783,240.60 to mitigate the employee housing impact associated
with the redevelopment. On April 14, 2008, Strata was approved for a
change to the housing mitigation plan by the Planning and Environmental
Commission resulting in the deed restricting of one 870 square foot
managers unit on-site, seven dwelling units off-site totaling 11,686 square
feet, and paying a fee-in-lieu for the remaining 75.1 square feet required
to be mitigated in the amount of $17,772.40.
The proposed amendments to the approved major exterior alteration
include several changes which affect the required employee housing
mitigation. The changes which most affect the required employee
17
housing mitigation plan approved by the Planning and Environmental
Commission are a decrease in the proposed Gross Residential Floor
Area (GRFA) and an increase in the size of the on-site unit.
The Staff has reviewed the current proposal for complying with
Ordinances No. 7 and 8, Series of 2007, and found it to be accurate in
calculating the mitigation requirement for the proposed Strata project.
The current proposal is to increase the size of the on-site managers unit
to 909 square feet and the deed restricted seven (7) units off-site which
would total 11,756 square feet. This proposal provides an excess of 260
square feet beyond that which is required. The applicant has asked that
this surplus of 260 square feet be "banked" and sold in the future.
In response to the request to "bank" and sell the additional 260 square
feet in the future, Staff performed a review of Chapter 23, Commercial
Linkage, and Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code, which
contain the requirements for employee housing mitigation. Within these
Chapters staff did not identify any language which would necessarily
prohibit this request; however, Staff believes there are other solutions
which would be more appropriate. Staff would suggest that the off-site
deed restrictions could be placed on units which would more closely meet
the requirement or that the surplus would remain in effect for the Strata
project as it changes in the future. Staff believes it will become very
difficult to track employee housing requirements between developments
and to enter into this process, while it can be accomplished, would
impose additional resources to track. Staff has attached the proposed
Strata Vail Housing Plan dated revised May 12, 2008 (Attachment D).
Staff believes this proposed Strata development complies with this
criterion.
"Live Bed" Requirements
In April of 2006, the Town Council passed a moratorium on all new
development within Lionshead until a policy for retaining a live bed base
could be determined. In July of 2006, the Town Council passed
Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, which amended portions of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to include the provision for the
inclusion of "Live Beds" in all projects that included hotel rooms and other
lodge style units in Lionshead. Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, adopted
several amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
regarding the maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of the live
bed base in order to maintain the economic viability of Lionshead.
Within Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, a definition for "Live Beds" was
established as well as an explanation of "Hotel-types of Services and
Amenities" as follows:
4.13.1 Live Bed Definition
Pursuant to Policy Objective 2.3.3, live beds (and warm beds) are
defined as residential or lodging rooms or units that are designed
for occupancy by visitors, guests, individuals, or families, on a
18
short term rental basis. A live bed may include the following
residential products: accommodation units, fractional fee club
units, lodge dwelling units, timeshare units, attached
accommodation units (i. e., lock-off units), and dwelling units which
are included in a voluntary rental management program and
available for short term rental.
4.13.3 Hotel-types of Services and Amenities
To aid in the furtherance of Policy Objective 2.3.3 of the Plan, the
creation of additional live beds should include hotel-types of
services and amenities. Such services and amenities may
include, but not be limited to, the operation of a front desk,
registration/reservation capabilities, recreational amenities, guest
drop-off, on-site management, etc. These types of services and
amenities in multiple family residential dwellings will increase the
likelihood that the dwelling units will be made available for short
term occupancy and help to promote improved occupancy rates.
Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, established Section 4.13.4, Review of
New Development and Redevelopment Projects, to guide the
Commission in reviewing projects for compliance with the "live bed"
requirements of the Master Plan. Section 4.13.4 is as follows:
4.13.4 Review of New Development and Redevelopment
Projects
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the
policies and direction given by this Plan with respect to live beds
when reviewing new development and redevelopment projects in
Lionshead. Applications for new development or redevelopment
maintain the live bed base in Lionshead. Applications for new
development and redevelopment which enhance the live bed base
have a significantly greater chance of approval in the development
review process than those which do not. A proposal's adherence
to the policies contained in the adopted master plan will be one of
the factors analyzed by staff, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC), the Design Review Board (DRB), and the
Town Council (as applicable) in determining whether to approve or
disapprove the specific proposal.
In regards to the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn
Annex, Resolution No. 4, Series of 2006, established the following:
5.15.4 Preservation of Existing Live Beds
The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Annex presently contain 85
accommodation units. Given the importance and need for live
beds to the vitality and success of the community, any future
redevelopment of the sites shall ensure the preservation of short
term accommodation on the site. The preservation of live beds
should focus on maintaining the number of existing live beds and
the amount of gross residential square footage devoted to that use
on the site. With this in mind, the quality of the existing live bed
base could be upgraded and the rooms could be reconfigured to
19
create increased lodging opportunities. In no instance, however,
shall the amount of gross residential floor area devoted to live
beds be reduced. The construction of "attached accommodation
units", "lodge dwelling units", "timeshare units", "fractional fee club
units", and dwelling units in a voluntary rental program, as defined
in the Zoning Regulations, could significantly increase the
availability of short term rental opportunities within the building.
The existing Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex contain one (1)
dwelling unit and 85 accommodation units measuring 28,863 square feet.
In reviewing the proposed Strata project staff has identified that the
proposal includes a combination of 51 dwelling units, 16 time share units,
8 lock-off units, and 12 lodge dwelling units. These unit types combined
equal 87 units measuring 125,657 square feet of GRFA. All of these
proposed unit types are included within the definition of a "live bed".
The proposed project will include the ability of owners to place their units
into a voluntary rental management program. To encourage owners
within the Strata project to enter the rental program there are provisions
for a front desk with registration/reservation capabilities, lobby, lounge
area, pool and hot tubs, business center, on site laundry services, and
meeting/conference space. Furthermore, there are provisions for two
commercial/retail spaces measuring approximately 7,117 square feet with
the project that are proposed to be commercial space.
Staff has reviewed the Strata proposal and found it to be in compliance
with the requirements of Resolution No. 4, Series of 2007. Section V of
this memorandum contains, in full, the portions of Resolution No. 4,
Series of 2007, which pertain to the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn
and Lionshead Inn Annex.
Staff believes this proposed Strata development complies with this
criterion.
2. That the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan;
Staff response:
Staff has performed a review of the proposed amendments to the
approved major exterior alteration for compliance with the development
requirements of the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 district. In Section VI of this
memorandum staff performed a zoning analysis of the project with
regards to the development parameters of the Lionshead Mixed Use-1
district. Within this analysis staff determined that the project is in
compliance with the development parameters for setbacks, height,
density, GRFA, site coverage, and landscape area.
20
T`
3. That the proposal does not otherwise have a significant negative
effect on the character of the neighborhood; and,
Staff Response:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Strata amended major exterior alteration
application and found that the proposed changes to not affect the bulk,
mass, and height of the structure as approved, therefore Staff believes
that for the same reasons presented at the initial approval the project is in
compliance with this criterion.
Those reasons were that Staff believed that the proposed major exterior
alteration will result in some effects on the character of the neighborhood
as the Strata project will be larger in terms of bulk, mass, and height than
the two structures which exist currently. However, the project is in
conformance with the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district and the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the impacts that this project
were anticipated in the adoption of the zoning and the Master Plan.
Furthermore the grades/contours beneath the existing Lionshead Inn,
which is constructed upon an elevated portion of the site, will be greatly
reduced from what exists and the proposed structure in this area of the
site will be less in overall height than the existing structure. Staff does not
believe there are any significant negative effects on the character of the
neighborhood.
4. That the proposal substantially complies with other applicable
elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Response:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Strata amended major exterior alteration
application and found that the proposed changes to impact the applicable
elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, therefore Staff believes that for
the same reasons presented at the initial approval the project is in
compliance with this criterion.
Those reasons were that Staff had reviewed the Vail Comprehensive
Plan to determine which elements of the Plan apply to the review of the
proposed Strata project. Upon review of the Plan, staff has determined
that the following elements of the Plan apply:
• Transportation Master Plan (adopted 1993)
• Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (adopted 1998)
• Art in Public Places Strategic Plan (adopted 2001)
With regard to the Transportation Master Plan the applicant provided the
Public Works Department with traffic studies and roadway designs which
have been reviewed and addressed. Staff has attached a memorandum
from Tom Kassmel, the Town engineer dated October 1, 2007, for review
by the Commission (Attachment E). In this memorandum several
comments and conditions of approval are identified by the Town Engineer.
The comments and conditions identified by the Town Engineer require
21
addressing at later stages of the development review process. Most
specifically, the project will be assessed a fee of $273,000 to mitigate
traffic impacts associated by the increase in peak hour trips that this
development will create. These funds will go towards traffic improvements
in the vicinity of the project.
To address the Art in Public Places Strategic Plan the applicant proposed
to provide a minimum of $70,000 of public art in conjunction with
development of Strata. Staff reviewed the proposal and found it to be
comparable to the public art contributions of other redevelopment projects
in Lionshead. The proposed art will be reviewed by the Art In Public
Places Board.
Overall, staff believes that the applicant has proven by a preponderance of
the evidence that the proposed amended major exterior alteration is in
compliance with the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district,
that the proposal is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan and that the proposal does not otherwise
have a significant negative effect on the character of the neighborhood,
and that the proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements
of the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the
major exterior alteration application, the Commission makes the following finding
as part of the motion:
"Pursuant to Section 12-7H-8, Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, the
applicant has proven by a preponderance of the evidence before the
Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board
that the proposed amended major exterior alteration is in compliance with
the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district, that the proposal
is consistent with applicable elements of the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan and that the proposal does not otherwise have a significant
negative effect on the character of the neighborhood, and that the proposal
substantially complies with other applicable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan."
Conditional Use Permits
Section 12-16-6, Criteria; Findings, Vail Town Code, outlines the review criteria
for conditional uses permit requests proposed within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1
(LMU-1) zone district. According to Section 12-16-6, Vail Town Code, the
Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with
respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the
town.
Private Parking Lot:
Staff believes that the proposal to amend the approved conditional use
permit to reduce the private parking lot from 69 to 53 is appropriate for the
same reasons as identified in the initial application. Those reasons were
22
that allowing for the sale of the 53 excess parking spaces will address
several of the goals and objectives found in the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Staff believes the proposal for construction and the ability to sell excess
parking spaces within the project could have a positive effect on the
parking issues the Town faces through out the year by providing an
opportunity for individuals to lease or purchase spaces and therefore not
be parking in the Vail Village or Lionshead parking structures.
Furthermore, the impact created by the additional trips generated by the
parking space has been addressed in the traffic study and will pay a fee
to mitigate those increased peak hour trips.
2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs.
Private Parking Lot:
Staff believes that the proposal to amend the approved private parking lot
will address several of the goals established in the Vail Comprehensive
Plan. Those goals are as identified in Section V of this memorandum.
The private parking lot, which is subterranean, will not have any negative
impacts on the above listed criterion.
3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion,
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and
control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the
streets and parking areas.
Private Parking Lot:
The proposed amended 53 space parking lot will generate additional
vehicular traffic in the area. The payment of the traffic impact fee and the
construction of roadway traffic improvements to the South Frontage Road
and West Lionshead Circle will off-set any negative impacts created by
the increased traffic for the 53 additional parking spaces.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to
be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in
relation to surrounding uses.
Private Parking Club:
The proposed amended parking club is located within a completely
subterranean structure. The subterranean nature of the parking club has
no negative impacts on neighboring uses.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the
application, staff recommends that the Commission make the following findings
before granting a conditional use permit:
That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes
of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use T
zone district.
23
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Zoning Regulations.

II. Introduction
Strata is part of the billion dollar renewal that is sweeping the Town of Vail. These luxury residences
are designed to be clean, contemporary and provocative spaces with expansive natural day lighting
and vaulted ceilings. Contemporary materials such as copper, stucco, and natural cedar will
impart European styling, however, stay in line with the forty years of Vail traditions. A mixture of
spacious 2-bedroom and penthouse units will capture the market niche that is absent in Vail making
Strata one of the most coveted new addresses at this world class year-round resort.
Strata was approved in October of 2007, allowing for:
• 51 dwelling units with 12 lock-offs, 12 lodge dwelling units and 14 time share units, with
a total of 89 live beds in the form of multiple family dwelling units, fractional units and lock-
off units, all in a short term rental pool
• A front desk, lobby, lounge area and other hotel-type amenities
• Approximatelyl 30,000 sq. ft, of GRFA
• An on-site employee housing unit of approximately 875 sq. ft.
• 7,117 sq, ft, of restaurant and retail
• 1 83 total structured parking spaces
• 69 structured parking spaces in excess of requirements
As the plans have been further developed for building permit, a number of changes have been made
that impact the original development plan. Section 12-7H-7: Exterior Alterations or Modification,
describes when a "major exterior alteration" is required. The section states:
B. Major Exterior Alteration: The construction of a new building or the alteration of an existing building
which adds additional dwelling units, accommodation units, fractional fee dub units, timeshare units,
any project which adds more than one thousand (1, 000) square feet of commercial floor area or
common space, or any project which has substantial off site impacts has determined by the administrator)
shall be reviewed by the planning and environmental commission as a major exterior alteration in
accordance with this chapter and section 12-3-6 of this title. Any prolect which requires a conditional
use permit shall also obtain approval of the planning and environmental commission in accordance with
chapter 16 of this title. Complete applications for malor exterior alterations shall be submitted in
accordance with administrative schedules developed by the deportment of community development for
planning and environmental commission and design review board review.
At this point in time, we are requesting a major exterior alteration to allow for the following change:
The addition of 2 timeshare units, an increase from 14 time share units to 16 time
share units
Strata Submittal
May 2008

In addition, other modifications have been made to the plan; however, these changes do not require
approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The changes are listed below for reference:
• A elimination of 4 lock-off units, a reduction from 12 lock-off units to 8 lock-offs units
(staff/DRB)
• A decrease in GRFA from 130,000 sq. ft. to 125,657 sq. ft. (DRB)
• An increase in the size of the on-site employee housing unit from 875 sq. ft. to 909
sq. ft. (staff approval allowed)
• 169 total parking spaces, 53 parking spaces in excess of requirements
• Minor modifications to the exterior elevations of the building to be reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Board
Finally, due to the changes in GRFA, a revised housing plan has been submitted, recalculating the
inclusionary zoning requirement based on the revised GRFA but is otherwise consistent with the plan
approved by the PEC on April 14, 2008.

III. Existing Conditions
The Lionshead Inn properties were originally
developed as The Enzian Lodge, later to become
the L'Ostello (now the Lionshead Inn), the Enzian
Condominiums, and the Vail Glo Lodge (now the
Lionshead Inn Annex), which was originally a
Best Western. They were developed on a
portion of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail/Lionshead Third
Filing, and were subsequently subdivided. The
Enzian Condominiums are surrounded by
property which is owned by the Lionshead Inn.
Vail/Lionshead, Filing 3 was recorded in 1971 .
This plat created lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead
Third Filing, upon which Vail Spa and the
Lionshead Inn properties sit.
The Enzian at Vail Condominium Map was
recorded in 1974. The plat indicates that both
the Enzian Condominiums and the Enzian lodge (which later became the Lionshead Inn) are located
on a Part of Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead Filing 3. The Enzian Condominiums are surrounded by
property owned by Lionshead Inn. The drive to the east and south of the Enzian Condominiums is an
access easement across Lionshead Inn property.

Throughout the years, little has been done to redevelop the properties. Beginning in the late 1980s,
various applications were submitted for the redevelopment of the current lionshead Inn building. In
1989, the Town Council approved a redevelopment which included adding an additional story to the
building, along with removing the berm and undergrounding all the parking. This required a height
variance, based on the more restrictive Commercial Core 2 zone district. Also, as a part of this
proposal, a deed restriction for a Type 3 employee housing unit was recorded. However, this
redevelopment was never completed.
In 1993, the owners of the Lionshead Inn attempted a similar redevelopment proposal. Again, the
redevelopment was not completed.
In April of 2006, the Town of Vail passed a moratorium on all new development within the Lionshead
area. The ordinance prohibited the filing of any development application that would cause a
reduction in the existing number of hotel rooms, employee housing units or parking spaces within the
Lionshead zone district. In July of 2006, Resolution No. 4 was approved, amending the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan with regards to the preservation of "live beds", including specific
language for the Lionshead Inn properties.
Following the approval of the amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the Town
enacted an emergency ordinance, requiring that any applications for development in the Town of Vail
would be subject to future regulations with regards to employee housing. Ordinances No. 7 and No.
8 were passed in February of 2007, providing regulations for commercial linkage and inclusionary
zoning.

In October of 2007, the Town approved the plans for the redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn
properties. The approval includes the following:
• 51 dwelling units with 12 lock-offs, 12 lodge dwelling units and 14 time share units, with
a total of 89 live beds in the form of multiple family dwelling units, fractional units and lock-

V. Criteria for Review
The lionshead Mixed Use-1 Zone District does not supply criteria for review as in the
case of a Special Development District. However, it does offer a description of the
"compliance burden".
12-7H-8: COMPLIANCE BURDEN:
It shall be the burden of the applicant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence
before the planning and environmental commission and the design review board that
the proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with the
purposes of the Lionshead mixed use I district, that the proposal is consistent with
applicable elements of the lionshead redevelopment master plan and that the proposal
does not otherwise have a significant negative effect on the character of the
neighborhood, and that the proposal substantially complies with other applicable
elements of the Vail comprehensive plan.
A. Purpose of the LMU-1 Zone District
The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district was created in 1999, as the implementation phase
of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The zone district rezoned all Lionshead
properties from Commercial Core 2 to LMU-1 . It intended to create incentives for properties
to redevelop. The purpose of the LMU-1 zone district is as follows:
The lionshead mixed use 1 district is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple-family
dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, timeshares, lodge dwelling units, restaurants,
offices, skier services, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified development.
lionshead mixed use 1 district, in accordance with the Lionshead redevelopment master plan,
is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the
permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the zone district
by establishing appropriate site development standards. This zone district is meant to
encourage and provide incentives for redevelopment in accordance with the lionshead
redevelopment master plan.
This zone district was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties to redevelop.
The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically vibrant lodging, housing,
and commercial core area. The incentives in this zone district include increases in allowable
gross residential floor area, building height, and density over the previously established zoning
Strata Submittal
May 2008
in the Lionshead redevelopment master plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to
create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment consistent with the
Lionshead redevelopment master plan. Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance
public off site improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. With any
development/redevelopment proposal taking advantage of the incentives created herein, the
following amenities will be evaluated: streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access,
public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements.
Our Analysis:
When the Lionshead Master Planning process was undertaken, there was clear recognition
that Lionshead lacked the vitality of Vail Village. The structures were dated, the pedestrian
mall did not function, and older lodging properties were suffering from low occupancy rates
as a result of substandard conditions. As the purpose statement indicates, the Town
recognized these issues and created a zone district to incentivize the redevelopment of
Lionshead. Many properties in Lionshead have since redeveloped: the Antlers; the Arrabelle;
the Marriott; the Ritz-Carlton Residences; the landmark - all successful examples of
redevelopment as a result of the Lionshead Master ,
Planning process.
The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex were xconstructed in the 1970s. At the time, both hotels
were considered luxurious. However, since then, times have changed dramatically, and the
standards that Vail visitors expect their hotels to meet, have also changed dramatically. The
Strata Submittal
May 2008
12
existing facilities are not up to visitor expectations, which have resulted in low returning
customer rates. Both facilities suffer from low occupancy rates.
The incentives offered by the lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district allow the Lionshead Inn
properties the opportunity to redevelop into a project more fitting the needs of Lionshead and
visitors to Vail. The existing buildings on the site will be demolished, allowing for a
completely new structure meeting all aspects of the zoning regulations. Strata meets the
purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district along with all of the development
standards prescribed by that zone district.
B. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Compliance
Our Analysis
The lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted by the Town of Vail on December
15, 1998. It is a guide for property owners proposing to undertake development or
redevelopment of their properties and the municipal officials responsible for planning public
improvements. The lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (LRMP) sets out recommendations
for the entire Lionshead area, provides detailed plan recommendations for specific areas, and
outlines site design and architectural design guidelines, and then provides specific
development standards that are implemented through the Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district.
Below is the language from the LRMP that is applicable to the vehicular and pedestrian
circulation surrounding the Lionshead Inn properties:
Modifications to West lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place
West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place currently handle the heaviest load of lodging
access and delivery traffic in Lionshead and will likely continue to do so. The recommended
improvements to these roads are both aesthetic and functional, working to provide for safe and
efficient vehicular traffic while also insuring a safe pedestrian environment visually consistent
with the overall goals of the master plan.
East Intersection of W. lionshead Circle and S. Frontage Road
This intersection will experience the greatest increase in traffic volume due to the projected
increase in lodging units and the proposed north day lot transit center. Mitigation
measures may be required, as outlined in the traffic study.
Intersection of lionshead Place and West lionshead Circle
Due to the projected volume of lodging traffic that will be accessing Lionshead Place
(Monteneros, Antlers, Lionsquare Lodge, and the Vail Associates core site), it is
Strata Submittal
May 2008
13
recommended that this intersection be realigned so the primary through-traffic axis is north-
south (see figure 4-10). West Lionshead Circle would form a T-intersection at the northeast
corner of the Marriott. In addition to facilitating traffic flow, this realignment will create a
much safer, logical pedestrian crossing from West Lionshead Circle into the Lionshead
pedestrian core.

Visual Improvements
As the road systems and adjacent lodging properties in west Lionshead are upgraded it is
critical that a consistent visual ch
aracter be developed through the design of new
pedestrian walkways, landscaping,
retaining walls, lighting, and site furnishings. For
further information on these systems, see chapter six, Sife Design Guidelines.
Chapter 5: Detailed Plan Recommendations
Chapter 5 of the LRMP provides detailed plan
This section provides the language from
recommendations for every area of Lionshead.
the LRMP regarding the detailed plan
recommendation for the Lionshead Inn properties, and includes the July 2006 amendment
found in Resolution No. 4, requiring "no net loss of live beds" on the Lionshead Inn properties.
5.15 Lionshead Inn, Lionshead Annex, Enzian Cluster
Redevelopment and/or enhancement of the buildings in this cluster at West Lionshead Circle
and South Frontage Road (see figure 5-19) is encouraged.
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan clearly encourages the redevelopment of this site,
due to the aging structures and dated hotel rooms.
The Pedestrian Street
The existing structures are recessed from the street, elevated above it, and separated from it by
surface parking lots. To improve the pedestrian character of the neighborhood, a better
Strata Submittal

relationship with the street is desirable. The principal objective for redevelopment in this area
is to engage the surrounding pedestrian environment, either by adding building elements
toward the street or by lowering the finish grade at the entries so that they are closer to the
level of the street.
The entry has been oriented to minimize vehicular penetration into the more pedestrianized
core, adjacent to the Marriott to enhance the pedestrian experience. The first floor, along
West Lionshead Circle, steps down to a one-story element and includes commercial uses to
improve the pedestrian character of the frontage. The surface parking lots have been
removed (except where required to maintain the access easement for the Enzian) and all
parking is located underground. The commercial uses are at street level, creating a
pedestrianized area along West Lionshead Circle.
Access and Street Frontage
The existing accesses into these properties should be adjusted to align with the opposing curb
cuts on the east side of West Lionshead Circle. The street edge should be strengthened for
pedestrian use with landscaping, enhanced signage, and retaining walls as described in the
site design guidelines, chapter six. The Lionshead Inn secured a permit in the past which is
now expired to add another vehicular access point from the South Frontage Road, and the
property owner is encouraged to pursue the opportunity to screen the surface parking lot on the
north and regrade the lot to reduce the significant cross-slope.
Parking is located underground and the garage entrance is accessed from the existing access
easement that is being maintained for the Enzian. Load and delivery, along with Fire
Department access and staging will occur off the Frontage Road.
Building Height
Because it sits considerably above the frontage road, the Lionshead Inn is encouraged to
explore a ground level or lower floor infill solution if development scenarios are pursued.
Additional building height, if proposed, must conform to the design guidelines.
As proposed, the proposal meets the height requirements of 71 ft. average and 82.5 ft.
maximum.
Preservation of Existing Live Beds
The Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Annex presently contain 85 accommodation units. Given
the importance and need for live beds to the vitality and success of the community, any future
redevelopment of the sites shall ensure the preservation of short term accommodation on the
site. The preservation of live beds should focus on maintaining the number of existing live beds
Strata Submittal
May 2008
15
and the amount of gross residential square footage devoted to that use on the site. With this
in mind, the quality of the existing live bed base could be upgraded and the rooms could be
reconfigured to create increased lodging opportunities. In no instance, however, shall the
amount of gross residential floor area devoted to live beds be reduced. The construction of
"attached accommodation units", "lodge dwelling units", "timeshare units", "fractional fee club
units", and dwelling units in a voluntary rental program, as defined in the Zoning Regulations,
could significantly increase the availability of short term rental opportunities within the building.
As proposed, Strata includes 87 live beds, an increase over the existing 85 live beds.
C. Character of the Neighborhood
Our Analysis:
The neighborhood of the Lionshead Inn properties is architecturally and aesthetically diverse.
The property most adjacent to the Lionshead Inn is the Enzian Condominiums, which will be
most impacted by the redevelopment proposal. As a result, the design team has made every
effort to minimize impacts to the Enzian Condominiums, including respecting the existing
access easement. No development is proposed adjacent to the Enzian, on the Lionshead Inn
property to the south. The Enzian Condominiums have not been redeveloped at this point in
time and therefore the architecture and character of the Enzian Condominiums is more of the
old Lionshead aesthetic, and while the design of
the Strata respects the existing structure, it is
designed based on the Design Guidelines of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. It is
assumed, like most properties in Lionshead that
have not yet been redeveloped, that at some
point in the future, redevelopment will occur.
Adjacent to the Lionshead Inn to the west is the lira
Vail Spa. Unlike the Enzian Condominiums, the
Vail Spa's architectural character is more
modern, with a flat roof, interesting angles, and
large panes of glass. Built in 1980, this site also has development potential based on the
Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 zone district. However, without knowing the future plans for this
building, the design of Strata includes some more modern elements to allow for some
consistency of character in the neighborhood.

The Marriott, to the south of the Lionshead Inn properties, went through a major redevelopment
in the late 1990s. In this case, the existing structure was maintained, but the building was
renovated to be more in compliance with the Design Guidelines of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan. Many of the old forms remained, but the materials and colors
were updated and upgraded. Strata is proposing to use similar materials and will be of a
character that compliments the Marriott.
Other properties in the vicinity include the North Day Lot, Concert Hall Plaza, and
Montoneros. The design of Strata will be complimentary to these properties, maintaining the
character of Lionshead, while creating a project that is remarkable on its own.
D. Other Applicable Elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan
Our Analysis:
The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan has been covered in depth in previous sections of
this submittal and is incorporated here by reference. The Vail Land Use Plan, which was
originally adopted in 1986, also includes goals that are applicable to this project.
1.3 The gualily of developmenl should be maintained and upgraded
whenever possible.
1. 12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas.
3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more effIciendy.
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing
character of each area is preserved through implemenlation of the
Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan.
Now over 30 years old, the Town of Vail Land Use Plan is outdated in general, but many of
the concepts of the plan are applicable to development today. Strata helps to further these
goals as outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan.

VI. Conditional Use Permit - Review Criteria
The private parking structure was approved with 69 parking spaces beyond the requirements of
Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations. However, as plans have been further developed, the excess
parking has been reduced to 53 spaces. The Town has interpreted that this reduction in parking
spaces requires a revision to the Conditional Use Permit which was approved for the private parking
structure. To ensure that it is unnecessary to return to the PEC for future review should this number
change again, we are requesting that as long as the number of excess parking spaces never exceeds
69 spaces, the conditional use permit does not need to be amended, regardless of the number of
spaces provided. This flexibility will be beneficial to both the applicant and the Town of Vail. Before
acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) shall
consider the factors with respect to the proposed conditional use of a private parking structure:
A. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town.
Our Analysis:
The private parking structure was approved with 69 parking spaces over the requirement of
the Town. As the plans have been further refined, the excess parking has been reduced to 53
parking spaces. With the reduction in parking spaces, we still believe that the proposal to
establish a private parking structure will address several of the goals and objectives
established in the lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Further, we believe the parking
could have a positive effect on the parking capacity issues the Town faces through out the year
by providing an opportunity for individuals to lease or purchase spaces and therefore reducing
the demands for parking on the Vail Village or Lionshead parking structures. It should be noted
that the private parking structure is not a "required" improvement for this project and is not a
required public benefit as may be required with an SDD.
B. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities,
schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs.
Our Analysis:
The private parking structure will have a positive impact on the need for additional parking.
Parking spaces will be leased not sold and will be managed to promote maximizing the use of
the facilities. However, unlike other projects like Solaris with movie theaters and a bowling
alley, this building does not have uses that generate public use of the property, and therefore
there will not be much traffic associated with the parking.
Strata Submittal
May 2008
18
C. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and
convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the
street and parking areas.
Our Analysis:
The proposed parking structure will generate additional vehicular traffic in the area. However,
based upon the change in uses on the site, there will be a net reduction in vehicular traffic to
and from the sites. Parking is being located underground and all pedestrian areas are being
heated so there is no need for traditional snow removal from the site. The parking areas and
access ways are all being developed within the Town's standards to allow for sufficient flow
and maneuverability. Because this is a reduction in the number of parking spaces (from 69 to
53), the traffic on the site will actually be reduced from the previous approval. A new traffic
report will be submitted at building permit based on the number of parking spaces actually
proposed at construction.
D. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the
scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses.
Our Analysis:
The proposed parking structure is located within a completely subterranean structure. The
subterranean nature of the parking structure has no negative impacts on neighboring uses. The
proposal removes a substantial area of above-ground parking that exists today, and relocates
it underground, having a positive impact on the character of the neighborhood.

Strata Vail Housing Plan
REVISED May 12, 2008
The Strata Vail Housing Plan was approved in October of 2007, with a revision to the plan in April of 2007.
An application has been submitted amending the plans and reducing GRFA from 127,606 sq. ft. to 125,657
sq. ft., which therefore decreases our employee housing obligation.
CALCULATION METHOD
A. Existing Conditions
Existing Accommodation Units 85
Existing Eating and Drinking Establishment 2,560 sq ft
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT: Any development that includes uses such as business offices,
professional offices, accommodation units, general retail, grocery, liquor and convenience,
recreational amenity, real estate offices, conference facilities, health clubs, eating and drinking
establishments, service oriented businesses, or similar uses.
Existing Dwelling Unit
1,602 sq ft
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: A development that includes at least one dwelling unit,
including single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, multiple family dwellings,
fractional fee club units, lodge dwelling units, attached accommodation units, and
timeshare units.
B. Net New Commercial Development for Strata Vail
1. Commercial Development Increase = Commercial Linkage
Commercial Linkage requirement = 20% of net new employees generated
a. Decrease in Accommodation Units from 85 to zero
= 85 unit decrease
85 x .7 employees (per accommodation unit) x 20% mitigation
= (11 .9) employees - credit
b. Increase in Eating/Drinking sq ft from 2,560 sq ft to 6,995
= 4,435 sq ft increase
4,435 sq ft / 1,000 x 6.75 employees (Eating/Drinking) x 20% mitigation
= 5.99 employees to be provided deed restricted employee housing
Total = (5.91) employees - credit for commercial development
2. No Commercial Linkage mitigation is required

C. Net New Residential Development for Strata Vail
Residential Development Increase = Inclusionary Zoning
Inclusionary Zoning requirement = 10 percent of net new residential sq ft
Increase in GRFA from 1,602 sq ft to 125,657 sq ft
= 724,055 sq ft increase
124,055 sq ft x 10
= 12,405.5 sq ft required deed restricted employee housing
D. Mitigation Method
The applicant is proposing to construct 909 sq. ft. of employee housing on-site. The applicant
is proposing to construct a 2-bedroom unit, including a full kitchen. The unit is intended to be
used for an on-site manager, and therefore, rather than doing multiple small units, we are
proposing to do a larger employee housing unit that will meet the needs of an on-site
manager.
In addition, the remaining 11,496.5 sq. ft. will be provided in off-site units within the Town of
Vail. The off-site units will be deed-restricted according to the Town's requirements. The units
are located at the following addresses:

4. SCHEDULES
A timeline for the provision of any off-site EHUs.
Deed restrictions for off-site units will be provided prior to TCO of the project.
5. OFF-SITE UNITS
A proposal for the provision of any off-site EHUs shall include a brief statement explaining the basis of
the proposal.
Strata Vail is one of the firstprojects approved subject to the Town's newly adopted employee housing
regulations. It was already in the Town's process when the regulations were adopted, and the
uncertainty of what the final requirement would be lead the owners to pursue the fee-in-lieu option to
meet the requirements of the Town. In its final form, multiple options were provided to developers to
fulfill the employee housing requirements: on-site, off-site, or fee-in-lieu. The owners are now
proposing to meet the employee housing requirement by providing off-site deed restricted units, in
accordance with the Town's requirements outlined in Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town
Code. Providing off-site units will afford a benefit to the Town of Vail, as it will immediately have
employee units in place.
6. OFF-SITE CONVEYANCE REQUEST
A request for an off-site conveyance shall include a brief statement explaining the basis for the request.
Not Applicable
7. FEES-IN-LIEU
A proposal to pay fees-in-lieu shall include a brief statement explaining the basis of the proposal.
There will be no fee-in-lieu
8. WRITTEN NARRATIVE
A written narrative explaining how the employee housing plan meets the purposes of the Chapter and
complies with the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
A. Chapter 12-24-1 The purpose of Chapter 12-24-1 is as follows:
The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure that new residential development and redevelopment
in the Town of Vail provide for a reasonable amount of employee housing to mitigate the
impact on employee housing caused by such residential development and redevelopment.
Strata Vol iHousing Plan - REVISED May 12, 2008
3
The total average square feet of the proposed dwelling units in Strata Vail is 1,600 sq. ft. Based
on the Town of Vail's Nexus Study, a dwelling unit of this size would generate 0.09 employees.
According to the Nexus Study, total employees generated by the residential uses on the site are
6.84. At 350 sq. ft. per employee, that equates to a total of 2,394 sq. ft. required to fulfill the
Strata Vail's impact on employee housing, according to the Nexus Study. In addition, the change
in use from hotel to residential units, results in a reduction of over 30 employees that are needed to
serve the site. To summarize, the employee housing requirement of the Town of Vail on the Fogata
Lodge actually serves to not only mitigate the impact of the development, but also provides housing
for more employees than it generates. This Housing Plan clearly exceeds the purpose of Chapter
24.
B. Ordinance No. 8 - Inclusionary Zoning It is the stated intent of the Vail Town Council that new
residential development and redevelopment be burdened with providing employee housing that is
related to the number of new jobs generated by the development. The Town Council's intent is
explicitly expressed in the ordinance:
"WHEREAS, new residential development and redevelopment in the Town will result in
new employees being needed .
WHEREAS, the Town Council believes that the provision of a reasonable and
appropriate percentage of new employee housing is the responsibility of new
residential development and redevelopments which have a nexus to new job
generation;
WHEREAS, it is the Town Council's goal to provide housing for at least 30% of the
new employees generated
Compliance with the ordinance read as a whole, specifically including the requirement that there
be a nexus to the number of net new employees generated, results in no (0) employee housing
burden imposed on Strata Vail. Under a strict application of only the mathematical formula set
forth in Ordinance No. 8, and without any consideration of the ordinance's purpose to address
new employee generation, the burden is more than satisfied. Although the ordinance, in fact,
imposes no employee housing burden on Strata Vail, this developer agrees with the policy of
providing affordable housing in the Town of Vail. Accordingly, based on a consideration of the
language, intent and purpose of the inclusionary zoning ordinance, there is no basis for denying
this housing plan.
C. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Strata Vail is located in Lionshead. The following is taken
from Chapter 4 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan:
4.9 Housing
Recent community surveys and grass-rools planning efforts such as Vail Tomorrow have
identified the lack of locals' housing as the most critical issue facing the Vail
community. Early in the Lionshead master planning process, west Lionshead was
Slrola Vail Housing Plan - REVISED May 72, 2008
4
identified as an opportunity area to implement some of the commune yv s housing goals,
particularly relating to employee housing. These opportunities and associated issues
are outlined below.
4.9. 1 No Net Loss of Employee Housing
Ground rule number five of the master plan states that there shall be no net loss
of employee housing in Lionshead as redevelopment occurs.
4.9.2 Ksuol Issues
The financial realities of affordable housing often require cost reducing
measures, generally involving the qualify of detailing, planning, and
architectural design. Given the strong desire to make these housing projects
feasible, it is recommended that some latitude be granted to affordable
housing developers. However, it is also important that financial realities not be
used as an excuse to produce unsightly, poorly designed, substandard
products. Employee housing does not need to match the architectural
sophistication of a five star resort development, but it does need to be good
quality construction and design. Rivers Edge in Avon is a good example of an
attractive yet affordable employee housing project.
4.9.3 Policy Based Housing Opportunities
The first means of implementing housing goals in Lionshead is through policy
based requirements such as the employee generation ordinance currently
being pursued by the Vail Town Council. As required by a future ordinance,
all development and redevelopment projects, as a prerequisite to project
approval, should provide housing for employees generated and to the extent
possible this housing should be located in the Lionshead area.
At the time of the adoption of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the practice of the Town of
Vail was to require mitigation of the employees actually generated by a project. Neither the Town nor
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan ever anticipated an inclusionary requirement in excess of the
new employees generated. As a result, by providing for housing for significantly more employees than
that actually generated by the development, Strata Vail has greatly exceeded the requirements and
policies of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
The Town Vail Land Use Plan offers the following goals with regard to employee housing:
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.
Strata volt Housing Plan - REV/SED May 72, 2008
5
The Town of Vail Land Use Plan indicates that "limited incentives" were to be provided by the Town to
private entities providing employee housing. In the case of Strata Vail, no incentives were provided.
Strata Vail complies with these statements from the Town of Vail Land Use Plan.
9. OTHER
In 1990, a deed restriction was recorded by the then-owner, Alma Equities Corp, for an
employee housing unit of 690 sq. ft. This EHU was required as part of a redevelopment
proposal that was never constructed. The proposal included under-grounding the parking,
and an addition to the top floor that required a height variance. The rendering below
indicates the remodel that was approved, but never constructed, as indicated by the current
photo. It was the practice in the late 1980's and early 1990's to require that a deed
restriction for employee housing be recorded at the time of issuance of a building permit, prior
to construction. This practice created a situation whereby a restriction was recorded, yet the
project never commenced.
This deed restriction (attached for reference) is one of the older existing deed-restrictions. As
set forth in the deed restriction, its removal requires the approval of the owner and the Town
Council. As part of its overall housing plan, Fogata Lodge is requesting the lifting of this deed
restriction as the employee housing unit was never constructed, nor was the addition that
triggered this deed restriction. The housing plan and all the units associated with Fogata
Lodge will be subject to the current deed restriction. Therefore this EHU is not required to be
replaced.

The Town of Vail Public Works Department has received the Planning and Environmental Commission submittal
plan set dated 9/4/07 for the Fogata Development. Based on our review the following shall be conditions of
approval and addressed prior to building permit approval or as otherwise noted. Additional comments will be
provided when more detailed plans are provided.
Comments
1. Per the Traffic Study dated September 14`h, 2007 the peak hour additional trips generated by the development
is 42. The developer shall pay a traffic impact fee of $6500 per peak hour trip for a total of $273,000, prior to
the issuance of a TCO for any part of the project. The impact fee shall be used for future Frontage Rd.
improvements.
2. CDOT section 4.9(4) of the Access Code requires all driveway accesses along the Frontage Rd. to extend
a minimum of 40' from the ROW into the site. The proposed plan will require a variance from CDOT.

SUMMARY
errn ~ss1ov,
Pear y
dot GThe applicant, Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is
requesting permission to proceed through the development review process with a
proposal to make improvements on town-owned right-of-way in conjunction with a
proposed redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex (Fabulous
Vail Glo).
As the property owner, the Town Council may approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the Applicant's request for property owner authorization to proceed through the
Town's development review process. Pursuant to Section III of this memorandum,
Staff recommends denial of this request.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Lionshead Inn LLC, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is
requesting permission to proceed through the development review process with a
proposal to make improvements on town-owned right-of-way in conjunction with a
proposed redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex (Fabulous
Vail Glo). A vicinity map is attached for reference (Attachment A)
It is the desire of the applicant to apply for an amended major exterior alteration
application and design review application to make improvements on town-owned
West Lionshead Circle right-of-way, in conjunction with the approved Lionshead Inn
and Lionshead Inn Annex redevelopment known as Strata. The proposed
improvement is a vehicle pull-off area that could accommodate two vehicles. A copy
of a letter from the applicant dated May 12, 2008, is attached for reference
(Attachment B)
The proposed pull-off measures 10 feet wide by 50 feet long and is approximately
located half with-in the West Lionshead Circle right-of-way. The location of the
proposed pull-off is 120 feet south of the intersection of West Lionshead Circle and
I
the South Frontage Road West across from the Landmark Townhomes.
The following applications are those applications that will be needed to facilitate the
amendment to the approved redevelopment plan to incorporate the proposed pull-off:
• Major Exterior Alteration;
• Subdivision; and
• Design review
The Town of Vail Staff has reviewed the proposal and believes that the placement of
a vehicle pull-off in this location is not appropriate in this location. When this project
was submitted in early 2007 there were designs which showed a porte cochere with
access to West Lionshead Circle. This design was eventually eliminated as the
design team for Strata chose not to implement the comments of the Public Works
Department regarding the physical location of a large portion of the porte cochere
and vehicles within the right-of-way. Staff has constantly informed the applicant that
the proposed redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead Inn Annex should
contain all improvements upon the property, not within the public right-of-way. Staff
reasons for requiring private improvements to be located outside of the public right-
of-way include the following:
• The public right-of-way should be retained for the use of public purposes;
• The number of vehicles utilizing West Lionshead Circle are numerous and it
is believed that the location of a private vehicle pull-off will add to the
congestion and confusion on the street;
The location of the pull-off approximatelyeet from the intersection of the
• South Frontage Road West will cause potential vehicular conflicts;
• Need for snow storage when plowing.
The applicant has included numerous examples of pull-offs located through out
Town. They include First Bank on Vail Road, The Mountain Haus, Vail Mountain
Lodge, and the Marriott. Staff acknowledges the existence of these pull-offs,
however, they have all been in place for many years and have been permitted to
remain during some project renovations, when no viable opportunity exists to
relocate or replace them. The redevelopment of the Lionshead Inn and Lionshead
Inn Annex affords an opportunity to provide a vehicle pull-off without impacting the
public right-of-way.
The Applicant can not proceed with the submittal of these applications without first
obtaining the Town Council's property owner authorization for the proposed
development on the town owned parcel.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Vail Town Council, as the owner of the West Lionshead Circle
right-of-way adjacent to the existing Lionshead Inn Annex (Fabulous Vail Glo),
denies the Applicant's request to proceed through the development review process.
Please be advised that should the Town Council choose to approve this request,
such an approval would not constitute an explicit approval of the proposed
.t
improvements. Any approval of this request will only grant the Applicant property
owner authorization to proceed through the Town's development review process.

Re:
Strata - Parking Pull-off review
Date:
5/16/08
The Town of Vail Public Works Department is not in support of the use of Public Right of Way for
private development parking/drop-off. This design does not meet current Town Standards and would
require a variance. The area proposed by the Strata development, along West Lionshead Circle, is a
particularly highly used multi-use vehicular road. West LH Circle currently serves some of the Town's
largest existing and future developments (Arrabelle, Landmark, Marriott, Antlers, Lions Square Lodges,
Montanerros, Strata, Ritz-Carlton, and North Day Lot), and is also congested by the Concert Hall Plaza
Bus-stop/Skier Drop-off/Loading & Delivery zone, and as well may also soon be the access to the new
Lionshead Transit Center pending the North Day Lot submittal and the Lionshead Masterplan.
The addition of a vehicle parking/drop-off will add congestion and vehicular conflict across from the
Concert Hall Plaza Bus stop/Skier-Drop Off/Loading & Delivery zone, the access to North Day Lot and
Landmark, and will also be within 120' of the Frontage Rd. intersection. In general a parallel parking
area will require back-up parking movements on the roadway at some point. These back-up movements
and general pull-in/pull-out use will add additional vehicular conflicts and safety hazards to the traveling
public. The designation of a drop-off parking area will invite more than just Strata guest drop-off. It
will most likely be used as a pedestrian/skier drop-off, loading and delivery, and short-term parking for
Lionshead Mall activities. And when full, since having the parking designation, it may also invite
double parked drop-off during peak times thus narrowing the roadway. As currently designed and
approved, with no parking designation and a landscape and sidewalk buffer, it is unlikely it will become
an often used illegal drop-off. It is more likely that the Loading/Delivery/Emergency access off the
Frontage Rd. will become an illegal drop-off zone. Guest/CME drop-off should be directed to the main
access drive prior to arrival.
We do agree that a development of this size would benefit greatly from a drop off area. This was
presented and discussed with the applicant during the design phase of this project prior to PEC approval.
However, this drop-off should be designed similar to those more recently approved large new

RE: Permission to proceed through the process for use of the Town of Vail right~ofway for Strata Vail
Dear Town Council Members:
We are requesting permission from the Town of Vail for use of the right-of-way for a pull-off (paved shoulder of
road) adjacent to the Strata project. Strata was approved in September 2007 by the Town of Vail Planning
Commission. The project as approved eliminated two access points (curb-cuts) along West Lionshead Circle.
During the review process a porte cochere with access to West Lionshead Circle was eliminated due to
concerns raised by the Town staff. The project as approved therefore did not include a place for guest drop-
off. All residents and guests arriving at Strata will enter the site to a below grade parking area at the existing
curb cut to Lionshead Inn and the Enzian.
As with any condominium project most owners and guests will drive directly to the parking garage.
However, we have concerns that other vehicles arriving at the site will want to stop at the front door to allow
for immediate access to the front desk. These vehicles, such as Colorado Mountain Express, pizza delivery,
dry cleaning, etc., will likely stop at the front door along West Lionshead Circle, blocking traffic and causing
potential back-ups. As a result, we have designed a simple pull-off from West Lionshead Circle, that will
allow these vehicles to pull out of the flow of traffic. The pull-off is 10 ft. by 50 ft., with 12 ft. from the edge
of curb to the lane of traffic. Pull-offs, similar to what we are proposing, are common throughout the Town of
Vail for the same purposes. The most obvious example is the pull-off located in front of the First Bank building
on Vail Road in Vail Village, which is 8.5 ft. to the edge of curb. This pull-off is used for customers of the
bank to easily access the ATM or other banking services. The frequency of use at the First Bank pull-off is
much more frequent than we would expect at Strata, but we believe this example indicates that pull-offs such
as this provide a safe area for vehicles to pull off the road without causing problems to flow of traffic.
There are many other examples throughout town of pull-offs, including those located at the Marriott along
West Lionshead Circle (7.5 ft. from the edge of curb to the lane of traffic), Vail Village Inn Phase 3 along the
South Frontage Road (12 ft. from the edge of curb to the lane of traffic), and Vail Mountain Lodge along East
Meadow Drive (6.75 ft. from the edge of curb to the lane of traffic). Pictures of all of these are attached for
reference. The design of these pull-outs vary, but all serve a similar purpose - to allow for temporary
vehicular access the front door of the building, without causing problems to the flow of traffic on the adjacent
road.
The proposed pull-out does not require any physical structure to occupy the right-of-way, nor is any required
parking located in the right-of-way. We hope that you will agree that the proposal will improve the function
of the right-of-way in this area and help improve the proposed project.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Sincerely,
