16 Vail Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
RE: Notice of Zoning Violation
Vail Plaza Hotel— 16 Vail Road/Lots M and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1
Dear Connie,
This letter is official notice of a zoning violation occurring at the Vail Plaza Hotel located at 16 Vail Road
(Lots M and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1). It has come to the Town of Vail's attention that Units 313
and 401 are currently being used as fulltime residential dwelling unit and not as a fractional fee club unit
as required by the approved developed plan adopted for the Vail Plaza Hotel. The use and occupancy of
Units 313 and 401 as a full-time residence must cease and desist, and the units must immediately be
restored to fractional fee club units.
The Vail Plaza Hotel is located within the Public Accommodation District in which Lodges ("buildings
designed for occupancy primarily as the temporary lodging place of individuals or families either in
accommodation units or dwelling units...) are allowed as permitted uses and Fractional Fee Club Units
(an individual dwelling unit in a fractional fee club described as such in the project documentation...'� are
allowed as conditional uses. While a dwelling unit is "any room or group of rooms in a two-family or
multiple-family building with kitchen facilities designed for or used 6y one family as an independent
housekeeping unit"; a fractional fee club unit must be part of a fraction fee club defined by the Vail Town
Code as "a fractional fee project in which each dwelling unit, pursuant to recorded project documentation
as approved by the town of Vail, has no fewer than six (6) and no more than twelve (12) owners per unit
and whose use is established by a reservation system and is managed on site with a front desk operating
twenty four(24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week providing reservation and registration capabilities..."
It is clear in the adopting legislation (Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996) allowing fractional fee units within
the Public Accommodation District, that these units are not intended for full-time occupancy as a dwelling
unit when the Town Council found "that a fractional fee club is a form of public accommodation"and "that
the quality of fractional fee club unit are an appropriate means of increasing occupancy rates, maintaining
and enhancing short-term rental availability and diversifying the resort lodging market within the Town of
Vail".
On February 28, 20Q0, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit
for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50 fractional fee club units. According to the
Staff Memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission concerning that fractional fee club:
`According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units will be divided into a maximum of
1/12fh intervals for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with the remaining 28 shoulder
season and summer weeks would be owned by the hotel. This ownership program allows for the
most attractive weeks of the year to be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the
1
, ' ,
.
r
redevelopment project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during fhe summer months."
On August 13, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission again approved a conditional use
permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50 fractional fee club units. According
to the Staff Memorandum the Planning and Environmental Commission concerning that fractional fee
club:
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fractional fee club, the 50 club units have been
designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This design creates a total of 108 keys and
216 pillows for the fractional fee club component of the hotel."
Additionally, the Staff Memorandum the Planning and Environmental Commission stated the fractional fee
units at the Vail Plaza Hotel:
°The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The club units would
be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel
for use as shorf-term accommodation units."
In both 2000 and again in 2001, pursuant to Section 12-16-7, Vail Town Code, the Planning and
Environmental Commission considered "the ability of the proposed project to create and maintain a high
leve!of occupancy"and that "each of the fractional club units shall be made available for short term renta!
in a managed program when not in use by the club members". Based upon the statements,
representations, and proposals of the applicant; the Commission determined that a conditional use permit
was warranted for fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On September 4, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2001, which
amended Special Development District No. 6 to allow for the construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel with one
dwelling unit, 99 accommodation units, 18 employee housing units, and 50 fractional fee club units
consistent with the August 13, 2001, issued conditional use permit.
As noted above, Units 313 and 401 at the Vail Plaza Hotel are currently being used as fulltime residential
dwelling unit and not as a fractional fee club unit as required by the approved developed plan. The use of
Units 313 and 401 as a full-time residence must cease and desist, and the units must immediately be
restored to fractional fee club units.
Please contact Bill Gibson at your earliest convenience to discuss your proposed resolution to this
violation. He can be reach by phone at (970) 479-2179 or by email at bgibson cr.vailgov.com If you have
not contacted Bill within 14 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Town will be forced to pursue further
code enforcement actions pursuant to Section 1-4-1, Vail Town Code.

RE: Zoning Violation — Units 313 and 401, Vail Plaza Hotel
16 Vail Road/Lots M and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1
Dear Connie,
As you are aware, Units 313 and 401 at the Vail Plaza Hotel are currently being used as full-
time residential dwelling units and not as fractional fee club units as required by Town zoning
and the Vail Plaza Hotel approved developed plan. The use of Units 313 and 401 as full-time
residences shall cease and desist, and said units shall be restored to fractional fee club units.
As we discussed earlier today, the Town of Vail is willing to temporarily suspend code
enforcement proceedings for approximately 45 days to afford the current occupants of Units 313
and 401 an opportunity to vacate said units. Therefore, the Town expects Units 313 and 401 at
the Vail Plaza Hotel to be fully restored to functioning fractional fee club units by no later than
Friday, March 13, 2009. If the full-time residential use of Units 313 and 401 has not ceased and
said units have not been restored to fractional fee club units by this date, the Town will be
forced to pursue further code enforcement actions pursuant to Section 1-4-1, Vail Town Code.
Please contact the Town of Vail Community Development Department by no later than Monday
March 9, 2009, to schedule a compliance inspection of the Units 313 and 401. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at (970) 479-2173 or via email at

and a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a major amendment to
Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Plaza Development, LLC, 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, and a recommendation to the Vail Town
Council of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn,
pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, to allow for changes to the
fractional fee club unit designations within the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, located at 16
Vail Road (Vail Plaza Hotel)/ a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing
1, and setting forth details in regard thereta �'
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Sections VIII and IX of this
memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Staff recommends denial
of both requests subject to the findings noted in Section X of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to increase the number of dwelling units from one to two, and
to decrease the number fractional fee units by one in the Vail Plaza Hotel which is Phase
IV of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. The applicant is proposing to
convert the existing dwelling unit #507 to a fractional fee club unit and convert the
existing fractional fee club units #313 and #401 into dwelling units. Fractional fee club
unit#313 is a three bedroom unit consisting of 1,801 sq. ft. of gross residential floor area
(GRFA) and #401 is a one bedroom unit consisting of 962 sq. ft. of GRFA. The
unfinished dwelling unit#507 is currently designed as a three bedroom unit consisting of
5,150 sq. ft. of GRFA. The applicant is proposing to amend the floor plan of this unit to
create a total of five bedrooms. �:
A vicinity map (Attachment A) and the applicanYs request (Attachment B) have been �
attached for reference.
�

. �
III. BACKGROUND
The Vail Plaza Hotel is located within the Public Accommodation District in which lodges
("buildings designed for occupancy primarily as the temporary lodging place of
individuals or families either in accommodation units or dwelling unifs...) are allowed as
permitted uses and fractional fee club units (an individual dwelling unit in a fractional fee
club described as such in the project documentation...'� are allowed as conditional uses.
While a dwelling unit is "any room or group of rooms in a two-family or multiple-family
building with kitchen facilities designed for or used by one family as an independent
housekeeping unit"; a fractional fee club unit must be part of a fraction fee club defined
by the Vail Town Code as "a fractional fee project in which each dwelling unit, pursuant
to recorded project documentation as approved by the town of Vail, has no fewer than
six (6) and no more than twelve (12) owners per unit and whose use is established by a
reservation system and is managed on site with a front desk operating twenty four (24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week providing reservation and registration capabilities..."
It is clear in the adopting legislation (Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996) allowing
fractional fee club units within the Public Accommodation District, that these units are not
intended for full-time occupancy as a dwelling unit when the Town Council found "that a
fractional fee club is a form of public accommodation" and "that the quality of fractional
fee club unit are an appropriate means of increasing occupancy rates, maintaining and
enhancing short-term rental availability and diversifying the resort lodging market within
the Town of Vail"
On February 28, 2000, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff's memorandum to the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
"According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units will be divided into a
maximum of 1/12t'' intervals for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks would be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program allows for the most attractive weeks of the year to
be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the redevelopment
project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during the summermonths."
On August 13, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission again approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff Memorandum the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fracfional fee club, the 50 club
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creates a total of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractional fee club
component of the hotel."
Additionally, the Staff Memorandum the Planning and Environmental Commission stated
the fractional fee units at the Vail Plaza Hotel:
"The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The
club units would be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the
2
�
�
�
remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel for use as shorf-term accommodation
units."
In both 2000 and 2001, pursuant to Section 12-16-7, Vail Town Code, the Planning and
Environmental Commission considered "the ability of the proposed project to create and
maintain a high level of occupancy" and that "each of the fractional club units shall be
made available for short term rental in a managed program when nof in use by the club
members". Based upon the statements, representations, and proposals of the applicant;
the Commission determined that a conditional use permit was warranted for fractional
fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel.
�
On September 4, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of
2001, which amended Special Development District No. 6 to allow for the construction of �'
the Vail Plaza Hotel with one dwelling unit, 99 accommodation units, 18 employee
housing units, and 50 fractional fee club units consistent with the August 13, 2001,
conditional use permit.
As noted above, units #313 and #401 at the Vail Plaza Hotel are currently being illegally
occupied as fulltime residential dwelling unit, and not as a fractional fee club unit as
required by the approved developed plan. On January 23, 2009, the Town of Vail issued
a notice of zoning violation to the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On March 13, 2009, the Town of Vail issued the Vail Plaza Hotel a summons to Town of
Vail municipal court for this illegal use of the subject fractional fee club units. This matter
is tentatively scheduled on the court's May 7, 2009, docket.
Unit #507 is currently unfinished and has not yet been issued a final certificate of
occupancy. �
�
The Town Council has identified need for an accessibility and delivery route connecting �
the Vail Plaza Hotel and East Meadow Drive has been identified in other recent
proposals to amend the Vail Village Inn Special Development District, including the
proposed expansion of the Osaki's restaurant and the Colondo Company's proposal to
convert retail space to residential. To date, this physical connection has not yet been �
constructed. �`

VIII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship.and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "wa�m beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. The warm beds are also highly beneficial to the
existing retail and restaurant uses in the other phases of the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed fractional fee
club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's development
objectives or the intent and purpose of the overall Vail Village Inn development.
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.
There are no changes proposed to the eXterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion 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.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parking. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requirement.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a negative affect upon the remaining elements of "�
this criterion 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.
There are no changes proposed to the scale or bulk and mass of the existing building;
therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on
this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.

IV. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRiTERIA �
�
Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment �
application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall
consider the following factors with respect to the proposal:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate �
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation. �.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff �'
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in �
comparison to existing conditions.
�
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient �:
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. �
�
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot �
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the �
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning �
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy �'
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of 4
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units.
As described in Section I I I of this memorandum, in 2000 and 2001, the Planning and
Environmental Commission and Town Council approved one (1) dwelling unit and fifty �
(50) fractional fee club unit mix at the Vail Plaza Hotel based upon the following: �
�.
"According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units will be divided into a �
maximum of 1/12th intervals for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks would be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program allows for the most attractive weeks of the year to �::
be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to �nance the redevelopment �
project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hofel fo support �'
the conference facilities during the summer months." �
�
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fractional fee club, the 50 club �
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creates a tota/ of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractional fee club �'
component of the hotel." �
�
'� "The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The �'
club units would be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the �
remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel for use as short-term accommodation �
units."
�
�
At that time, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council also �
considered:
C",
#
"the ability of the proposed project to create and maintain a high level of �
occupancy";and that, �
9 �
�,
�
"each of the fractfonal club units shall be made available for short term rental in a
managed program when not in use by the club members".
Therefore, Staff does not believe the appiicanYs proposal to exchange two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the intent of the
original approvals of the Vail Plaza Hotel.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parkin�. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requi�ement.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing loading. Today, there is no
accessible or practical physical connection between the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock
and East Meadow Drive. Staff believes the applicant must install the needed
accessibility and delivery route connecting the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock to East
Meadow Drive to comply with this criterion.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's
development objectives.
5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards affecting this property; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions. .
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
There are no changes proposed to the site planning, location, or open space for the
existing building; therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant
negative affect on this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
10
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
There are no changes proposed to the existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns.
However, the net gain of dwelling units increases the parking requirement from 0.7 to 2.4
spaces. Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this
criterion. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
request, Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking
requirement.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
There are no changes proposed to the existing lanscaping; therefore, Staff does not
believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in comparison
to existing conditions.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The Town of Vail has no assurance from the applicant when, or if, construction of the
Vail Plaza Hotel penthouse unit will occur. Therefore, Staff does not believe exchanging
two completed fractional fee club units for one un-built dwelling unit is consistent with the
Town's development objectives.

permit, pursuant to Section 12-16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code,
and a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a major amendment to
Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-
10, Amendment Procedures, to allow for changes to the fractional fee club unit
designations within the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, located at 16 Vail Road (Vail
Plaza Hotel)/ a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and

Applicant: Vail Plaza Development, LLC
Planner: Bill Gibson
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Plaza Development, LLC, 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, and a recommendation to the Vail Town
Council of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn,
pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, to allow for changes to the
fractional fee club unit designations within the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, located at 16
Vail Road (Vail Plaza Hotel)/ a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing
1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Sections VII and VIII of this
memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Staff recommends denial
of both requests subject to the findings noted in Section IX of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to increase the number of dwelling units from one to two, and
to decrease the number fractional fee units by one in the Vail Plaza Hotel which is Phase
IV of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. The applicant is proposing to
convert the existing dwelling unit #507 to a fractional fee club unit and convert the
existing fractional fee club units #313 and #401 into dwelling units. Fractional fee club
unit#313 is a three bedroom unit consisting of 1,801 sq. ft. of gross residential floor area
(GRFA) and #401 is a one bedroom unit consisting of 962 sq. ft. of GRFA. The
unfinished dwelling unit#507 is currently designed as a three bedroom unit consisting of
5,150 sq. ft. of GRFA. A vicinity map (Attachment A) and the applicant's request
(Attachment B) have been attached for reference.

III. BACKGROUND
The Vail Plaza Hotel is located within the Public Accommodation District in which lodges
("buildings designed for occupancy primarily as the temporary lodging p/ace of
individuals or families either in accommodation units or dwelling units...) are allowed as
permitted uses and fractional fee club units (an individua!dwelling unit in a fractional fee
club described as such in the project documentation...'� are allowed as conditional uses.
While a dwelling unit is "any room or group of rooms in a twafamily or multiple-family
building with kitchen facilities designed for or used by one family as an independent
housekeeping unit"; a fractional fee club unit must be part of a fraction fee club defined
by the Vail Town Code as "a fractional fee project in which each dwelling unit, pursuant
to recorded project documentation as approved by fhe town of Vail, has no fewer than
six (6) and no more than twelve (12) owners per unit and whose use is established by a
reservation system and is managed on site with a front desk operating twenty four(24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week providing reservation and registration capabilities..." •
It is clear in the adopting legislation (Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996) allowing
fractional fee club units within the Public Accommodation District, that these units are not
intended for full-time occupancy as a dwelling unit when the Town Council found "that a
fractional fee club is a form of public accommodation" and "that the quality of fractional
fee club unit are an appropriate means of increasing occupancy rates, maintaining and
enhancing short-term rental availability and diversifying the resort lodging market within
the Town of Vail".
On February 28, 2000, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff's memorandum to the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
°According to the applicant, the ownership of the c/ub units will be divided into a
maximum of 1/12f`' interva/s for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks would be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program a/lows for the most attractive weeks of the year to
be so/d as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the redeve/opment
project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during the summermonths."
On August 13, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission again approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff Memorandum the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
"To further improve the occupancy potenfial of the fractional fee club, the 50 club
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creates a total of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractional fee club
component of the hotel."
Additionally, the Staff Memorandum the Planning and Environmental Commission stated
the fractional fee units at the Vail Plaza Hotel:
"The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interva/ basis. The
club units wou/d be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the
2
remaining 28 weeks owned by fhe hotel for use as short-term accommodation
units."
In both 2000 and 2001, pursuant to Section 12-16-7, Vail Town Code, the Planning and
Environmental Commission considered "the ability of the proposed project to create and
maintain a high level of occupancy" and that "each of the fractional club units shall be
made available for short term rental in a managed program when not in use by the club
members". Based upon the statements, representations, and proposals of the applicant;
the Commission determined that a conditional use permit was warranted for fractional
fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On September 4, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of
2001, which amended Special Development District No. 6 to allow for the construction of
the Vail Plaza Hotel with one dwelling unit, 99 accommodation units, 18 employee
housing units, and 50 fractional fee club units consistent with the August 13, 2001,
conditional use permit.
As noted above, units #313 and #401 at the Vail Plaza Hotel are currently being illegally
occupied as fulltime residential dwelling unit, and not as a fractional fee club unit as
required by the approved developed plan. On January 23, 2009, the Town of Vail issued
a notice of zoning violation to the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On March 13, 2009, the Town of Vail issued the Vail Plaza Hotel a summons to Town of
Vail municipal court for this illegal use of the subject fractional fee club units. This matter
is tentatively scheduled on the court's May 7, 2009, docket.
Unit #507 is currently unfinished and has not yet been issued a final certificate of -
occupancy.
The Town Council has identified need for an accessibility and delivery route connecting
the Vail Plaza Hotel and East Meadow Drive has been identified in other recent
proposals to amend the Vail Village Inn Special Development District, including the
proposed expansion of the Osaki's restaurant and the Colondo Company's proposal to
convert retail space to residential. To date, this physical connection has not yet been
constructed.
On April 27, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to �
discuss this application. The Commission discussed the option of temporarily approving
the applicant's request for a specified time period, such as three years, instead of
approving a permanent conversion of existing fractional fee club units to dwelling units.
Staff continues to recommend denial of this application. However, should the
Commission choose to grant a temporary approval of this request, Staff has drafted
possible conditions of approval which are outlined in Section IX of this memorandum.
At its April 27, 2009, hearing the Planning and Environmental Commission noted
concerns about applying Staff's previously proposed condition of approval requiring the
applicant to construct loading and delivery improvements to connect the hotel loading
dock to East Meadow Drive. Staff has revised the proposed conditions of approval
based upon input from the Commission and the Town Attorney's Office.
The applicant's proposal generates an increased parking demand of 0.7 parking spaces.
The applicant testified that the Vail Plaza Hotel (Phase IV of the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District) owns parking spaces physically located in the Phase III Building of
3
.
the Special Development District. However, these spaces were necessary to meet the
original parking requirements of the Vail Plaza Hotel and are not "surplus". Therefore,
the applicant must construct an additional parking space within the Vail Village Inn
Special Development District or meet the additionat parking requirements generated by
this proposal through another means.
Staff recommends the applicant meet this additional 0.7 parking space requirement
through the payment-in-lieu system established in Chapter 12-10, Off Street Parking and
Loading, Vail Town Code. The payment-in-lieu fee is currently $22,229.16 per parking
space and is subject to an annual adjustment based upon the Denver consumer price
index. Should the Commissian choose to approval the applicant's request, Staff
recommends the Commission applies a condition that applicant pay the full $15,560.41
payment-in-lieu parking fee within 5 business days of obtaining final Town Council
approval of the major amendment to a special development district application.
However, should the Commission choose to approve a temporary approval of the
applicant's request with the fractional fee and dwelling unit mixed to be restored by a
specific future date, Staff recommends the applicant pay only one-half ('/z) of the parking
fee ($7,780.21). The Town Council has the authority to appropriate these funds to the
design, construction, and/or maintenance of loading and delivery improvements within
the Vail Village Inn Special Development District.
At its April 27, 2009, hearing, the Commission chose to table this item for further
discussion at its May 11, 2009, hearing and requested that a site visit afso be scheduled
on that date.

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 characferistics,
conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect
fo the purposes of this fit/e 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 /arge. Uses listed as conditional uses in
the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limifations
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 nof be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions
cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use
permits shall be denied.

VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. The warm beds are also highfy beneficial to the
existing retail and restaurant uses in the other phases of the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed fractional fee
club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's development
objectives or the intent and purpose of the overall Vail Village Inn development.
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.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion 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.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parking. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requirement.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a negative affect upon the remaining elements of
this criterion 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.
There are no changes proposed to the scale or bulk and mass of the existing building;
therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a signi�cant negative affect on
this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
7
Vill. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment
application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall
consider the following factors with respect to the proposal:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visuat
integrity and orientation.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units.
As described in Section I II of this memorandum, in 2000 and 2001, the Planning and
Environmental Commission and Town Council approved one (1) dwelling unit and fifty
(50) fractionat fee club unit mix at the Vail Plaza Hotel based upon the following:
"According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units wi!l be divided into a
maximum of 1/12�h interva/s for the 24 winfer weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks wou/d be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program allows for the most attractive weeks of the year to
be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the redevelopment
project. The remaining interest in the c/ubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during the summermonths."
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fractiona/fee club, the 50 club
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creafes a total of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractiona! fee club
component of the hotel."
"The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The
club units would be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months wifh the
remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel for use as short-term accommodation
units."
At that time, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council also
considered:
"the ability of the proposed project to create and maintain a high level of
occupancy";and that,
8
.
"each of the fractional club units shall be made available for short term rental in a
managed program when not in use by the club members".
Therefore, Staff does not believe the applicant's proposal to exchange two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the intent of the
original approvals of the Vail Plaza Hotel.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parking. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requirement.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing loading. Today, there is no
accessible or practical physical connection between the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock
and East Meadow Drive. Staff believes the applicant must install the needed
accessibility and delivery route connecting the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock to East
Meadow Drive to comply with this criterion.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's
development objectives.
5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards affecting this property; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal wilt have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions.
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
There are no changes proposed to the site planning, location, or open space for the
existing building; therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant
negative affect on this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
9
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
There are no changes proposed to the existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns.
However, the net gain of dwelling units increases the parking requirement from 0.7 to 2.4
spaces. Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this
criterion. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
request, Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking
requirement.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
There are no changes proposed to the existing landscaping; therefore, Staff does not
believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in comparison
to existing conditions.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district
The Town of Vail has no assurance from the applicant when, or if, construction of the
Vail Plaza Hotel penthouse unit will occur. Therefore, Staff does not believe exchanging
two completed fractional fee club units for one un-built dwelling unit is consistent with the
Town's development objectives.
10. Public Benefit: The proposed deviations provide benefits to the town must
oufinreigh the adverse effects of such deviations.
The original approval of the Vail Plaza Hotel's project was based upon the applicant
constructing accommodation units and fractional fee clubs units in keeping with the
intent of the Public Accommodation District and the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The
Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council found the construction of
these "hot bed" and "warm bed" units to be a significant public benefit of the hotel's
original construction. Staff does not believe the proposed exchange of one unfinished
dwelling unit for two existing fractional fee club units provides any benefit to the
community; and Staff does not believe the applicant is proposing any other public benefit
to out weight the negative effects of reducing the number'of fractional fee club units at
the Vail Plaza Hotel.

MEMORANDUM
va�.= '7-o-o
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 2, 2009
SUBJECT: Second reading of Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2009, an ordinance temporarily
amending the approved development plan for Phase IV of Special Development
District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Article 12-9A-10, Amendment
Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the conversion of two existing fractional
fee club units to dwelling units, located at 16 Vail Road (Vail Plaza Hotel) / a
portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC090011)
Applicant: Vail Plaza Development, LLC
Planner: Bill Gibson
�
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Vail Plaza Development, LLC, is requesting a second reading of
Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2009, an ordinance amending the approved development
plan for Phase IV of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to
Article 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the conversion
of two existing fractional fee club units to dwelling units, located at 16 Vail Road (Vail
Plaza Hotel) / a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting
forth details in regard thereto. The applicant is proposing to increase the number of
dwelling units from one to three in the Vail Plaza Hotel by converting the existing
fractional fee club units#313 and #401 into dwelling units.
II. BACKGROUND
The Planning and Environmental Commission held public hearings to discuss this
request on April 27, and May 11, 2009. On May 11, 2009, the Planning and
Environmental Commission voted 7-0-0 to forward a recommendation of approval, with
conditions, to the Town Council for the proposed special development district
amendment based upon the findings noted below in Section III of this memorandum and
the additional finding:
"That the terr�porary approva/ of this amendment will have no negative effect on
parking since the existing penthouse dwelling unit can not yet be occupied."
�
On May 19, 2009, the Town Council held a public hearing to discuss the applicanYs �
request. The applicant's formal written request was to convert two existing fractional fee �
club units into dwelling units in exchange for the conversion of the one penthouse �;
dwelling unit into a fractional fee club unit. However, the Planning and Environmental �
Commission recognized, and fully accepted, that construction of the penthouse is not
complete, there has been no certificate of occupancy issued for the penthouse unit, and
that the applicant by his own testimony has no intension of completing construction of
the penthouse unit or of marketing that unit as anything other than a dwelling unit.
1
�
�
��
�
Therefore, while on paper the applicant was proposing the conversion of the penthouse
unit to a fractional fee club unit in exchange for the two new dwelling units; in practice
the penthouse unit will never actually function as a fractional fee club unit.
At its May 19, 2009, hearing the Town Council approved the first reading of Ordinance
No. 13, Series of 2009, with the modifications that reference to the conversion of the
penthouse dwelling unit to a fractional fee club unit be stricken, and that the sale of the
penthouse unit be a trigger for the expiration of this ordinance in addition to the
Commission's recommended triggers of the specific date May 11, 2012, or the issuance
of an occupancy certificate for the penthouse unit.
The condominium plat for the Vail Plaza Hotel identifies the unit type designations
(commercial unit, club unit, hotel unit, spa unit, etc.) within building. Since the Town
Council has chosen to temporarily approve the applicanYs request to convert to
fractional fee club units to dwelling units, Staff recommends the Council formalize the
applicant's requirement to update the condominium plat by including this requirement as
a condition of approval for Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2009. This proposed condition
has been integrated into the attached ordinance.
III. ACTION REQUIRED
The Town Council shall approve, approve with modification, or deny this ordinance on
second reading.
Should the Town Council choose to approve the second reading of this ordinance
consistent with the first reading, the Community Development Department recommends
the Town Council passes the following motion:
"The Town Council approves, on second reading, Ordinance No. 13, Series of
2009, an ordinance amending the approved development plan for Phase IV of
Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Article 12-9A-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the conversion of two
existing fracfional fee club units to dwelling units, located at 16 Vail Road (Vail
Plaza Hotel) /a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and
setting forth details in regard thereto."
Should the Town Council choose to approve the second reading of this ordinance
consistent with the first reading, the Community Development Department recommends
the Town Council imposes the following condition(s):
"1. This approval shall expire and become null and void on May 11, 2012, or
upon either the sa/e or issuance of a Temporary or Final Certificate of
Occupancy for Unit 507 of the Vail Plaza Hotel prior to said date.

of either the sale or issuance of a Temporary or Final Certificate of Occupancy
for Unit 507 of the Vail Plaza Hotel prior to said date.

p/at ref/ecting the change in designation of Units 313 and 401 from "club units"to
