to allow for the extension of an existing temporary business office conditional use
permit, located at 450 East Lionshead Circle (Treetops Building)/Lot 6, Vail

Applicant: 450 Buffalo Properties, represented by Michael Hecht
Planner: Bill Gibson
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, 450 Buffalo Properties, represented by Michael Hecht, is requesting a
final review of an amendment to an existing conditional use permit, pursuant to Section
12-16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the extension of a
conditional use permit to allow for a temporary business office located at 450 East
Lionshead Circle (Treetops Building)/Lot 6, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, and setting forth
details in regard thereto.
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Staff recommends approval, with
conditions, of this request subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this
memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing an extension of the conditional use permit allowing the
existing Vail Resorts temporary business offices to occupy the first-floor retail spaces of
the Treetops Building for an additional three years, until 2012. A vicinity map
(Attachment A) and the applicant's request (Attachment B) have been attached for
reference.
III. BACKGROUND
On November 16, 2004, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 26, Series of
2004, to allow "Temporary Business Offices" on the first-floor of buildings within the
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District. The purpose of this ordinance is to allow existing
Lionshead area office uses, which are displaced by the construction activities of
redevelopment projects, to be temporarily relocated within the Lionshead area. A
"Temporary Business Office" was defined as "an office for the conduct of general
business and service activities and transactions fora limited period of time to
accommodate the temporary displacement of an existing business office with the Town
of Vail due to redevelopment construction activities."
`{''
On January , 4, 2005, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
conditioria~.use,permit for Vail Resort's temporary business offices currently occupying
. :.th.e first-floor of the Treetops Building. This temporary conditional use permit was to
.::~~` expiry: ~tppn. ~ssu~r.~o~•.af a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Arrabelle Hotel
. (which has since ~een i's'sued), the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for
~.- ~,~>: .~ ~> ~, 'the North~ay, trot office building (which has not been constructed), or on January 24,
2008. ~ , ~ „ '
. ,. .
On June 11, 2007, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an extension
to this temporary conditional use permit until January 24, 2009..
On August 7, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 22, Series of 2007, to
give the Planning and Environmental Commission the authority to grant extensions to
any temporary business office conditional use permit in increments of up to three (3)
additional years.
On August 25, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an
extension to this temporary business office conditional use permit until August 30, 2009.
On October 7, 2008, the Vail Town Council upheld the Commission's August 25tH
decision on appeal.
Recently the applicant, 450 Buffalo Properties, submitted an application to amend the
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District to allow certain offices to be permanently allowed on the
first-floor in Lionshead subject to a conditional use permit. The applicant's primary goal
in submitting this request was to facilitate the approval of a long-term office tenant in
their Treetops Building first-floor tenant space.
On February 9, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended the
Town Council deny the applicant's proposed text amendments. At the same hearing,
the Commission informally recommended the applicant pursue another extension to the
conditional use permit allowing the existing temporary business offices at Treetops
rather than pursuing amendments to the Vail Town Code.
On February 17, 2009, the Town Council denied the applicant's recent request to amend
the Vail Town Code to permanently allow offices on the first floor in Lionshead.

ARTICLE 12-7H: LIONSHEAD MIXED USE 1 (LMU-1) DISTRICT (in part)
Section 12-7H-1: Purpose:
The Lionshead Mixed Use 1 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
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 developmenbredevelopment 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.
Chapter 12-16: CONDITIONAL USES PERMITS (in part)
Section 12-16-1: Purpose; Limitations
3
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 maybe 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 fo 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
cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use
permits shall be denied.
12-16-7, Use Specific Criteria and Standards (in part)
A-14. Temporary business offices:
a. Offices for real estate agents shall be excluded.
b. The storage, sale, or display of merchandise on the premises shall occupy
less than ten percent (10%) of the office's floor area.
c. Off street parking shall be provided in accordance with chapter 10 of this
title.
d. Signage shall be provided in accordance title 11, "Sign Regulations'; of this
code.
e. The business and service activities and transactions of a temporary
business office may only be conducted for a limited time period, not to exceed
three (3) years. Unless the time period is limited to a shorter duration, the
approval of a conditional use permit for a temporary business office shall
expire and become void within three (3) years from the initial date of approval.
The planning and environmental commission may grant a subsequent
extension to a conditional use permit approval to allow a temporary business
office to continue activities and transactions beyond the original time period
limit, if the commission determines special circumstances and/or conditions
exist to warrant such an extension. An extension may only be granted for the
minimum time period necessary to facilitate specific redevelopment
construction activities that achieve the town's goals, policies, and objectives,
but in no event may such an extension be allowed for more than three (3)
years without additional review.
f. A conditional use permit approval for a temporary business office shall be
reviewed by the planning and environmental commission on an annual basis
to verify the applicant's compliance with the conditions of approval.
B. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Policy Objectives
4
1
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.

ZONING ANALYSIS
Zoning: Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District
Land Use Plan Designation: Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Area
Current Land Use: Temporary Business Office
Development Standard Required Proposed
Parking 14.6 spaces 21.13 spaces (no change)
As this conditional use permit request only affects the use of an existing tenant space
and does not propose any exterior changes to the existing building; this conditional use
permit proposal does not alter the existing lot area and site dimensions, setbacks,
building height and bulk, density, gross residential floor area (GRFA), site coverage, or
landscaping and site development. The only development standard affected, other than
use, is parking. This proposal increases the parking demand for this tenant space from
12.5 to 14.6 parking spaces. The existing Treetops commercial building currently has
surplus parking, and if this proposal is approved, the Treetops commercial building will
still exceed its minimum parking requirement by 6.53 parking spaces.

REVIEW CRITERIA
Zoning
General Use District
Natural Area Preservation District
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
Staff believes the approval of the conditional use permit extension for "temporary
business office" uses on the first floor of the Treetops Building is consistent with the
intent, purpose, and standards of the Vail Town Code. The purpose of a temporary
5
business office conditional use permit is not to allow the permanent relocation of a
business office use to a location not generally allowed by the zoning standards of the
Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District. Instead it is anticipated that once redevelopment
construction activities are completed, a temporarily displaced business office will return
to its original development site or to a new permitted location.
At this time, Vail Resorts will not be constructing replacement office spaces at either the
Arrabelle or North Day Lot properties. Instead Vail Resorts is proposing to construct a
permanent location for the temporary Treetops business offices at the future Ever Vail
project in west Lionshead.
Since a permanent location for the business office displaced by the Arrabelle
development project have not yet been constructed, Staff recommends approval of the
applicant's request to extend the existing temporary business office conditional use
permit until 2012.
2. 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.
Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative effect on the above
criteria in comparison to existing conditions.
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 street and parking areas.
As this proposal exceeds the minimum parking standards of the Vail Town Code, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative effect on the above criteria
in comparison to existing conditions.
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.
This proposal does not involve any exterior changes to the existing Treetops Building.
Therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have significant negative effects upon
the architectural character of the surrounding area. However, Staff also believes that
any permanent, orquasi-permanent, establishment of office uses on the first floor of the
Treetops Building will be detrimental to the retail character of the neighborhood.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Community Development recommends the Planning and
Environmental Commission approves this amendment to an existing conditional use
permit, pursuant to Section 12-16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow
for the extension of an existing temporary business office conditional use permit, located
at 450 East Lionshead Circle (Treetops Building)/Lot 6, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review
of the criteria described in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and
testimony presented.
6

this conditional use permit request, the Department of Community Development
recommends the Commission pass the following motion:

at 450 East Lionshead Circle (Treetops Building)/Lot 6, Vail Lionshead Filing 1,

dated March 9, 2009.
2. The proposed temporary business office, located at 450 East Lionshead

Attachment A
Attachment B
Addendum to Conditional Use Permit Application of Buffalo Properties Group, LLC, for
Lionshead Mixed Use (LMU-1) District.
Description of Proposed Use
The application is for a continuation of the existing use. Previous Conditional Use Permits
affecting the property reflect all anticipated uses of the property. Property has recently been
brought in conformance with applicable fire codes and fire sprinkler system requirements at a
cost in excess of $217,000. All leasehold improvements were constructed under permit and
supervision of town staff, and are assumed to meet all applicable building standards.
Background on the TreeTops Plaza and Garage Building
Prior to granting of prior Conditional Use Pernlits the property was configured and sporadically
occupied as retail commercial space. The existing office space will not be modified under this
application. The Current Conditional Use Pernzit was approved August 25, 2008, by the Planning
and Environmental Commission, and shall be reevaluated by the Planning and Environmental
Commission in May of 2009. This action was confirmed by Appeal to the Town Council on
October 7, 2008.
Zoning Considerations
The proposed extension and renewal of Conditional Use Permits will not involve any changes to
the interior or exterior of the Building. There are no changes to square footage, site coverage,
building height, parking requirements or employee housing requirements.
C.U.P. Review Criteria
The following criteria are to be used in evaluating a conditional use request:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town.
Res op nse: The continuation of the existing use serves to minimize the disruption caused by
ongoing redevelopment of the Lionshead area. The use of the building by Vail Resorts
Mountain Operations enhances and facilitates the smooth operation of the resort skiing
operation, for the benefit of the entire town.
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.
Res op nse: No adverse affects are anticipated on these considerations, continuation of an
existing use.
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.
Response: No adverse affects are anticipated on these considerations, continuation of an
existing use.
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 areas.
Response: No adverse affects are anticipated on these considerations, continuation of an
existing use.
5. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use.
Response: None
6. The environment impact report concerning the proposed use, if an environmental impact
report is required by Chapter 12 of this title.
ResRonse: No environment impact report is required for continuation of this existing and
proposed use.
