(PEC090004) 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. IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS A. Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code CHAPTER 12-1, TITLE, PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY (in part) Section 12-7-2: Purpose: A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. 8. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 2 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4.

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. V. VI. VII. 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. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Land Uses North: Mixed Use South: Open Space East: Residential West: Mixed Use 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 Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve, with conditions, this conditional use permit request, the Department of Community Development recommends the Commission pass the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission approves this request for 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 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."

Zoning Considerations The proposed extension and renewal of Conditional Use Permits will not involve any changes to the interior or exterior of the Building.
