Planner:
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson, is requesting that the Planning and
Environmental Commission makes a recommendation to the Vail Tovyn Council for a text
amendment to Section 12-7A-7 (Height), Vail Town Code, to increase the maximum allowable
building height in the Public Accommodation (PA) Zone District. Currently the PA Zone District
allows flat or mansard roofs to be a maximum of 45 feet in height and sloped roofs to be a
maximum of 48 feet in height. This request proposes lo increase the maximum height of sloped
roofs lo 56 feet and flat or mansard roofs to 53 feet. Staff is recommending that the Planning
and Environmental Commission table the final review of this request tothe August 26,2002,
meeting of the Planning and Environmental Commission, and instead, hold a work session
discussion on the application at this time. A review of discussion issubs, hds been provided in
Section lX of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson, is proposing a text amendment to
Section 12-7A-7 (Height) of the Vail Town Code. The amendment is intended to increase the
maximum allowable building height of structures built in the Public Accommodation Zone
District. The applicant is proposing to increase the height limitation from 4€l feet to 56 feet for
buildings with sloping roofs and from 45 feet to 53 feet for buildings with flat or mansard roofs.
No other amendments to the PA Zone District development standards are proposed. This
amendment, if approved, would apply to all properties in the PA Zone District.
According to the Official Zoning Map, there are seventeen properties in the Town of Vail zoned
Public Accommodation. These properties are generally located around the periphery of the
village commercial core area and include the Austria Haus*, Bavaria Haus, Chateau at Vail
(Holiday Inn), Christiania Lodge*, First Bank of Vail, Galatyn Lodge., Lot P-3, Mountain Haus, 9
Vail Road (Holiday House), Ramshorn Condominiums*, Swiss Chalet, Roost Lodge, Talisman,
Tivoli Lodge, Vail Athletic Club-, Vail Village Inn', and Villa Valhalla. Of these seventeen
properlies, six have received approvals for special development districts and have been
identified with an asterisk (").
III. BACKGROUND
On August 7, 1973, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1973 which, in
part, adopted development standards for buildings conslructed in the Public Accommodation
Zone District.
On November 15, 1977, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 30, Series of 1 977
which, in part, reduced the number of allowable dwelling units in all the zone districts which
allowed residential units and created a new definitionlor "accommodation units".
On November 18, 1980, the VailTown Council approved Ordinance No. 37, Series of 1980,
which, in part, amended the maximum allowable building height in the Public Accommodation
Zone District and created an amended definition ot "height".
On October 15, 1991, the Vail Town Council adopted the DEVELOPMENT CODE REVISION
REPORT. Phase l. "An Assessment of the Town of Vail Zonino Code and
Recommendations for Action" The purpose of this report is to analyze the regulations
prescribed in the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations and make recommendations for
improvements. Upon review of the development standards prescribed for the district, the report
recommends amendments to the density control provisions. lt makes no reference or
recommendations for amendments to the building heighl standard.
On January 21,1997, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996, which
added fractional fee clubs as a conditional use in the Public Accommodation Zone District and
set forth details in regard thereto.
On October 5, 1999, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, which
provided for a comprehensive amendment to each of the development standards prescribed for
the Public Accommodation Zone District with the exception of building height. Building height
was considered and evaluated during the discussions regarding the amendment, however, it
was delermined at that time thal lhe maximum building height should not be amended.
The approved text amendments included:
r Increasing allowable GRFA from 80% to 150% of the buiHable area of the site.r Increasing the allowable site coverage from 55% to 65% while maintaining the minimum
landscape requirement at 30% of the site area.r Amending the definition of a "lodge"to state, in pat1, 'that the gross residential floor area
devoted to accommodation units is equal to or greater than 70% of the total gross
residential floor area on the site."r Amending the development review process to implement a process similar to the
process adopted for Lionshead. This process requires Planning and Environmental
Commission consideration of all proposals for projects which add accommodation units,
dwelling units, fractional fee units, more than 1,000 square feet of commercial floor area
or common space, or any project that has substantial off-site impacts, as determined by
the administrator. The Design Review Board continues to be responsible for the review
of all projects, regardless of unit.types, square footage, etc, The process also includes a
compliance burden and mitigation of development impacts requirement.

Town of Vail Zoning Regulations (Title 12, VailTown Code)
CHAPTER 7
COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS DISTRICTS
ARTTCLE A. PUBLTC ACCOMMODATTON (PA) DTSTRTCT
12-74-1: PURPOSE:
The Public Accommodation District is intended to provide sites for lodges and residential
accommodalions for visitors, together with such public and semi-public facilities and limited
professional otfices, medical facilities, private recrealion, commercialiretail and related visitor
oriented uses as may appropriately be located within the same district and compatible with
adjacent land uses. The Public Accommodation District is intended to ensure adequate light, air,
open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable
resort qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional
nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a
vacation community, and where permitted uses are intended to function compatibly with the
high density lodging character of the District. (Ord. 23(1 999) ' 1 : Ord. 30(1977) ' 7: Ord. 8(1 973)
'7.100)
1
12-7A-7= HEIGHT:
For a flat rool or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed forty five feet (45'). For a
sloping roof , lhe height of buildings shall not exceed forty eight feet (48'). (Ord. 23(1999) ' 1 :
Ord.37(1e80)'2)
HEIGHT: The distance measured vertically from any point on a proposed or existing roof or
eaves to the existing or finished grade (whichever is more restrictive) located directly below said
point of the roof or eaves. Within any building footprint, height shall be measured vertically from
any point on a proposed or existing roof to the existing grade directly below said point on a
proposed or existing roof.
Vail Village Master Plan
A majority of the properties in the PA Zone District are included within the Vail Village Master
Plan Boundary. None of the properties are located within the Commercial Core I area, however
several properties are localed within the area delineated to be included in the Urban Design
Guide Plan.
Buildino Heioht Plan
Generally speaking, it is the goal of this Plan to maintain lhe concentration of low scale buildings
in the core area while positioning larger buildings along the northern periphery (along the
Frontage Road), as depicted in the Building Height Profile Plan. This pattern has already been
established and in some cases lhese larger struclures along the Frontage Road serve lo frame
views over Vail Village to Vail Mountain. The Building Heighl Plan also strives, in some areas,
to preserve major views from public right-of-ways.
' Building heights greatly influence lhe character of the built environment in the Village. This is
particularly true in the Village Core where typical building heights of three to four stories
establish a pleasing human scale.
The building heights expressed on this lllustralive Plan are intended to provide general
guidelines. Additional study should be made during specific project review relative to a
building's height impact on the streetscape and relationship to surrounding slructures. Specific
design consideration on building heights are found in the Sub-Area section of this Plan and in
the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan.
A copy of the Conceptual Building Height Plan and other relevant sections from the Vail Village
Master Plan and Urban Design Considerations has been attached for reference.
VailVillage Urban Design Guide Plan
The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan was adopted by the Town of Vail on June 1 1 , 1980
and subsequently revised on January 15, 1993. The Guide Plan represents collective ideas
about functional and aesthetic objectives for Vail Village. Diagrammatic in nature, the Guide
Plan is intended to suggest the nature of the improvements desired. lt is based on a number of
urban design criteria which have been determined to be appropriate principles for guiding
4
change in Vail Village. As such, the Guide Plan is a response to current issues and perceived
problems, and intended to be a guide current planning in both the public and private sectors.
Guide Plan recommendations of particular importance to this request are:
A. Street Enclosure B. Building Height C. Sun/Shade D. Views and Focal Points
A copy of each of these Design Considerations has been attached for reference.
VI. SITE ANALYSIS
In 1999, Staff prepared a site analysis for each of the properties in the Town of Vail that are
located in the Public Accommodation Zone District. The location ol the properties was derived
from the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map. The purpose ol the analysis was to provide a
comparative analysis of the developmenl constructed on each of the respective sites. A copy of
the 1999 Site Analysis has been attached for reference.
VII. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, properties zoned Public Accommodation are
generally located around the periphery of the village commercial core area. Further, the Vail
Land Use Plan designates the village commercial core area as "Vail Master Plan". Pursuanl to
the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail Master Plan designation indicates the Village Core Area where
development and growth is guided by the goals, objectives and policies as outlined in the Vail
Village Master Plan (adopted November 18, 1986). An exception to the generalspatial location
of the Public Accommodation Zone District around the periphery of the village commercial core
area is the Roost Lodge. The Roost Lodge is located at 1783 North Frontage Road. According
to the Vail Land Use Plan, the Roost Lodge has a land use designation of "Medium Density
Residential".
VIII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
A. Consideration of Factors Reoardino the Prooosed Code Amendment
Before acting on an application tor an amendment to the regulations
prescribed in Title 12, the Planning & Environmental Commission and Town
Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text
amendment:
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and
specific purposes ol the Zoning Regulations; and
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and
better achieve the applicable elements ol the adopted goals, objectives,
and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with the development objectives of the Town; and
3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions
have substantlally changed since the adoption of the subject regulation
and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is
inapplicable; and
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations
consistent with municipal development obiectives; and
5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission and/or Council deem
applicable to the proposed text amendment.
Before recommending and/or granting an approval of an application for a text
amendment the Planning & Environmental Commission and the Town Council
shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment:
1. That the amendment is consistenl with the applicable elements of the
adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town; and
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
Zoning Regulations; and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, satety, morals, and general
welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious
development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and
residential community ot the highest quality.
IX. DISCUSSION ISSUES
The Community Development Department has identified a number of issues that we
believe need to be addressed during the review and consideration of this text
amendment proposal. The following is a list of issues:
1. lmpacts on building bulk and mass and the effects that may have on the
character of the area.2. lmpacts on the availability of light and air lo surrounding uses.3. lmpacts on sun/shade on adjacent properties and public spaces.4. lmpacts on views from public spaces and established view corridors.5. lmpacts on the enclosure of streets and spaces between buildings.6. lmpacts on the urban design considerations with respect to the height of
eaves and overhangs.7. lmpacts on the development objectives of the Town of Vail.
X. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the final review of a request
for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council to allow for a text amendment to Section
12-7A-7 of the Vail Town Code be tabled to the August 26,2002 meeting of the Planning
and Environmental Commission. We further recommend that the Planning and
Environmental, the applicant, the public and staff engage in a dialogue with respect to
the issues surrounding the proposed lext amendment and identify questions that may
need further clarification, prior to the Planning and Environmental Commission
forwarding its recommendation to the Vail Town Council.

G.VIEWS AND FOCAL POINTS
Vail's mountainfualley setting ls a
fundamental part of ib identity.
Views of the mountalns, ski slopes,
creeks and other natural features
are reminders ol the mountain
environment and, by repeated
visibility, are orientation reference
poin!s. Certain building features
also provide important orientation
references and vlsual focal polnts.
The most significant vlew corridors
have been adopted as part of
Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipal
Code. The view conidors adopted
should not be considered
exhaustive. When evaluating a
development proposal, priority
should be given to an analysis of
tho impact of the project on views.
Views that should be preserved
origlnate from either major
pedestrian areas or public spaces,
and include views of the ski
mountain, the Gore Range, the
Clock Tower, the Flucksack Tower
and other important man-made and
natural elements that contribute to
the sense'of place associated with
Vail. These views, which have
been adopted by ordinance, were
chosen due to their significance, not
only from an aesthetic standpolnt,
but also as orientation reference
points for pedestrians.
Development in Vail Village shall
not encroach into any adopted view
coridor unless approved under
Chapter 18.73. Adopted corridors
are listed ln Chapter 18.73 ol the
Vail Municipal Code. Whether

ARCHITECTU
o
RE /LANDSCAPE
CONSIDERATIONS
ROOFS
hthere vlsible, roofs are often one of
the nrost dorninant architectura'l elements in any built environment. ln the Village
roof form, color and texture are visibly
dor:inant, and generally consistent, which
tends to unify the building diversity to a great degree.
The current expression, and objective,for roofs in the Village is to form
a consistent'ly unifying backdrop for.
the architecture and pedestrian
streetscape, and to avoid roofs which
tend to stand out individually or distract visually from the overa'll
character.
Roof Forms
Roofs within the Vi'l'lage are typica'l]y
gable in form and.of moderate-to-low pitch. Shed roofs are frequentlY
used for sma'll additions to larger
buildings. Free-standing shed
t'oofs, butterfly roofs and flat
roofsr can be found in the Village
but they are'generally considered
to be out of character and inapprop-
riate. HiP roofs likewise are rare
and generally lncoriiistent with the
charicter of the Core Area- Towers
are excePtions' in both form and
pltch, td tne general.criteria' but
do have an established local
velnacular style which should be
respected.
l2
Pi tch
Roof .slopes in the VIllage typical]y
range from 3112 to 6/]2, with.slightly
steeper pitches ln limited applicatlons.
Agaln, for visual consistency this
general 311?-6112 range should be
preserved. (See .94!g!!9q below.)
0verhanqs
Generous roof overhangs tre also an
establ ished architectural feature in
the Vi'llage - a traditional expression of she'l ter in alpine environnents.
Roof overhangs typically range from
3 to 5 feet on all edges. Specific
design consideration shou'ld be given
to protection of pedestrian ways
adjacent to buildings. Tee falls,
snow s'l ides, and runoff hazards can
be reduced by roof orientation,gutters, arcades, etc.
Overhang details are treated with
varying degrees of ornamentation.
Structural elements such as roof beams
are expressed beneath the overhangs,
simp'ly or decoratively carved. The
roof fascia is thick and wide, giving
a substantial edge to the roof.
Compos j ti ons
The intricate roofscape of the Vll'lage
as a nhole is the resu'l t of many in-
dividual sfmple roof configuratlons.
For anv sinsie building a varied but
simple cmposition of roof-p'lanes is
oreierred to either a single or a
tonrplex arrangemnt of many t'oofs. As
individual ro6fs become more complex
the roof- attracts visual attentlon
i*iv i*t the streetscape and the total'
roo?scape tends toward "busyness" rather
than a backdroP comPosltion.

for a specific application can be
demonstrated. Co] d-roofs are doub'le-
roofs which insulate and prevent snow
melt frcm internal building heat. By
retainlng snow on the roof, many of
the problems 'listed can be reduced.
Periodic snow redpval will be requlred
and should be antlclpated ln the
desi gn .
Roof gutters tend to ice-ln completely
and become ineffectfve in the Vai'l
climate, especially in shaded north-
side locations. Heating the interior
ci rcumference with heat-tape elements
or other devices is generally nec-
essary to assure adequate runoff
control in colder months.

MEMORANDUM
Planning & Environmental Commission
Community Development Department
August 12,2002
A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a text amendment lo
Section 12-7A-7 (Height), Vail Town Code, to increase the maximum allowable
building height in the Public Accommodation Zone District.
Applicant: Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson Planner: George RutherMarren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson, is requesling that the Planning and
Environmental Commission makes a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a text
amendmenl to Section 12-7A-7 (Height), Vail Town Code, to increase the maximum allowable
building height in the Public Accommodation (PA) Zone District. Currently the PA Zone District
allows flat or mansard roofs to be a maximum of 45 feet in height and sloped roofs to be a
maximum of 48 feet in height. This request proposes to increase the maximum height of sloped
roofs to 56 feet and flat or mansard roofs to 53 feet. Staff is recommending that the Planning
and Environmental Commission table the final review of this request to the August 26,2002,
meeting of the Planning and Environmental Commission, and inslead, hold a work session
discussion on the application at this time. A review of discussion issues has been provided in
Section lX of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Bob Lazier, represented by Jay Peterson, is proposing a text amendment to
Section 12-7A-7 (Height) of the Vail Town Code. The amendment is intended to increase the
maximum allowable building height of structures built in the Public Accommodation Zone
District. The applicant is proposing to increase the height limitation from 48 feet to 56 feet for
buildings with sloping roofs and from 45 feet to 53 feet for buildings with flat or mansard roofs.
No other amendments to the PA Zone District development standards are proposed. This
amendment, if approved, would apply to all properties in the PA Zone District.
According to the Official Zoning Map, there are seventeen properties in the Town of Vail zoned
Public Accommodation. These properties are generally located around the periphery of the
village commercial core area and include the Austria Haus*, Bavaria Haus, Chateau at Vail
(Holiday lnn), Christiania Lodge', First Bank of Vail, Galatyn Lodge', Lot P-3, Mountain Haus, g
Vail Road (Holiday House), Ramshorn Condominiums', Swiss Chalet, Roost Lodge, Talisman,
Tivoli Lodge, Vail Athletic Club., Vail Village Inn*, and Villa Valhalla. Of these seventeen
properties, six have received approvals for special development districts and have been
identified with an asterisk (').
III. BACKGROUND
On August 7,1973, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1973 which, in
part, adopted development standards for buildings constructed in the Public Accommodation
Zone District.
on November 15, 1977, the Vail rown council approved ordinance No. 30, series of 1 g77
which, in part, reduced the number of allowable dwelling units in all the zone districts which
allowed residential units and created a new definitionlor "accommodation units'.
On November 18, 1980, the VailTown Council approved Ordinance No. 37, Series of 1980,
which, in part, amended the maximum allowable building height in the Public Accommodation
Zone District and created an amended definition ol "height".
On October 15, 1991 , the Vail Town Council adopted the DEVELOPMENT CODE REV|S|ON
REPORT.Phase l. "An Assessment of the Town of Vail Zonina Code ahd
Recommendations for Action" The purpose of this report is lo analyze the regulations
prescribed in the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations and make recommendations for
improvements. Upon review of the developmenl standards prescribed for the district, the report
recommends amendments to the density conlrol provisions. lt makes no reference or
recommendations for amendments to the building height standard.
On January 21 , 1997, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996, which
added fractional fee clubs as a conditional use in the Public Accommodation Zone District and
set forth details in regard thereto.
On October 5, 1999, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, which
provided for a comprehensive amendment to each of the development standards prescribed for
the Public Accommodation Zone District with the exception of building height. Building height
was considered and evaluated during the discussions regarding the amendment, however, it
was determined at that time that the maximum building height should not be amended.
The approved text amendments included:
r lncreasing allowable GRFA from 80% lo 150% of the buildable area of the site.r Increasing the allowable site coverage from 55% to 65% while maintaining the minimum
landscape requirement at 30% of the site area.I Amending the definition ol a "lodge"to state, in paft, "that the gross residential floor area
devoted to accommodation units is equal to or greater than 70% of the total gross
residential floor area on the site."r Amending the development review process to implement a process similar to the
process adopted for Lionshead. This process requires Planning and Environmental
Commission consideration of all proposals for projects which add accommodation units,
dwelling units, fractional fee units, more than 1,000 square feet of commercial floor area
or common space, or any projecl that has substantial off-site impacts, as determined by
the administrator. The Design Review Board continues to be responsible for lhe review
of all projects, regardless of unittypes, square footage, etc. The process also includes a
compliance burden and mitigation of development impacts requiremenl.

V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Town of Vail Zoning Regulations (Title 12, Vail Town Code)
CHAPTER 7
COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS DISTRICTS
ARTTCLE A. pUBLtC ACCOMMODATTON (pA) D|STRICT
12-74-1: PURPOSE:
The Public Accommodation District is intended to provide sites for lodges and residential
accommodations for visitors, together with such public and semi-public facilities and limited
professional offices, medical facilities, private recreation, commercial/retail and related visitor
oriented uses as may appropriately be located within the same district and compatible with
adjacent land uses. The Public Accommodation District is intended lo ensure adequate light, air,
open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable
resort qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional
nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a
vacation community, and where permitted uses are intended to function compatibly with the
high density lodging character of the District. (Ord. 23(1 999) ' 1 : Ord. 30(1977) ' 7: Ord. 8(1 973)
'7.100)
?
12-74-7: HEIGHT:
For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed forty five feet (45'). For a
sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed forty eight feet (48'). (Ord. 23(1999) ' 1:
Ord.37(1980)'2)
HEIGHT: The distance measured vertically from any point on a proposed or existing roof or
eaves to the existing or finished grade (whichever is more restrictive) located directly below said
point of the roof or eaves. Within any building footprint, height shall be measured vertically from
any point on a proposed or existing roof to the existing grade directly below said poinl on a
proposed or existing roof.
Vail Village Master Plan
A majority of the properties in the PA Zone District are included within the Vail Village Master
Plan Boundary. None of the properties are located within the Commercial Core I area, however
several properties are located within the area delineated to be included in the Urban Design
Guide Plan.
Buildino Heioht Plan
Generally speaking, it is lhe goal of this Plan to maintain the concentration of low scale buildings
in lhe core area while positioning larger buildings along the northern periphery (along the
Frontage Road), as depicted in the Building Height Profile Plan. This pattern has already been
established and in some cases these larger structures along the Frontage Road serve to frame
views over Vail Village to Vail Mounlain. The Building Height Plan also strives, in some areas,
to preserve major views from public right-of-ways.
Building heights greatly influence the character of the built environment in the Village. This is
particularly true in the Village Core where typical building heights of three to four stories
establish a pleasing human scale.
The building heights expressed on this lllustratiye Plan are intended to provide general
guidelines. Additional study should be made during specific project review relative to a
building's height impact on the streetscape and relationship to surrounding structures. Specific
design consideration on building heights are found in the Sub-Area section of this Plan and in
the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan.
A copy of the Conceptual Building Height Plan and other relevant sections from the Vail Village
Master Plan and Urban Design Considerations has been attached for reference.
VailVillage Urban Design Guide Plan
The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan was adopted by the Town of Vail on June 1 1, 1980
and subsequently revised on January 15, 1993. The Guide Plan represents collective ideas
about functional and aesthetic objectives for Vail Village. Diagrammatic in nature, the Guide
Plan is intended to suggest the nature of the improvements desired. lt is based on a number of
urban design criteria which have been determined to be appropriate principles for guiding
4
-a
change in Vail Village. As such, the Guide Plan is a response to current issues and perceived
problems, and intended to be a guide current planning in both the public and private sectors.
Guide Plan recommendations of particular importance to this requesl are:
A. Street Enclosure B. Building Height C. Sun/Shade D. Views and FocalPoints
A copy of each of these Design Considerations has been attached for reference.
VI. SITE ANALYSIS
In 1999, Staff prepared a site analysis for each of the properfies in the Town of Vail that are
located in the Public Accommodation Zone District. The location of the properties was derived
from the official Town of vail Zoning Map. The purpose of the analysis was to provide a
comparative analysis of the development constructed on each of the respective sites. A copy of
the 1999 Site Analysis has been ailached for reference.
VII. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, properties zoned Public Accommodation are
generally located around the periphery of lhe village commercial core area. Further, the Vail
Land Use Plan designates the village commercial core area as'Vail Master Plan". Pursuant lo
the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail Master Plan designation indicates the Village Core Area where
development and growth is guided by the goals, objectives and policies as outlined in the Vail
Village Master Plan (adopted November 18, 1986). An exception to the general spatial location
of the Public Accommodation Zone District around the periphery of the village commercial core
area is the Roost Lodge. The Roosl Lodge is located at 1783 North Frontage Road. According
to the Vail Land Use Plan, the Roost Lodge has a land use designation of "Medium Density
Residential'.
VIII. CRITERIA AND FIND]NGS
A. Consideration of Factors Reoardino the Proposed Code Amendment
Before acting on an application for an amendment to the regulations
prescribed in Title 12, the Planning & Environmental Commission and Town
Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text
amendment:
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and
specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and
better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives,
tx.
ro o
and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with the development objectives of the Town; and
3- The extent to which the text amendmenl demonstrates how conditions
have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation
and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate 6r is
inapplicable; and
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations
consistent with municipal development objectives; and
5. Such other factors and criteria the commission and/or council deem
applicable to the proposed text amendment.
Before recommending and/or granting an approval of an application for a text
amendment the Planning & Environmental commission and the Town councit
shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment:
1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the
adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town; and
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
Zoning Regulations; and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious
development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and
residential community of the highest quality.
DISCUSSION ISSUES
The community Development Depadment has identified a number of issues that we
believe need to be addressed during the review and consideration of this text
amendment proposal. The following is a list of issues:
lmpacts on building bulk and mass and the effects that may have on the
character of the area.
lmpacts on the availability of light and air to surrounding uses.
lmpacts on sun/shade on adjacent properties and public spaces.
lmpacts on views from public spaces and established view corridors.
lmpacts on the enclosure of streets and spaces belween buildings.
lmpacts on the urban design considerations with respect to the height of
eaves and overhangs.
lmpacts on the development objectives of the Town of Vail.

to discourage uniforn building heights along the street.
The definition of height sha'll be as ii is in the Vai'l llunicipai Code. Building

l. Up to 501 of the building (building coverage area) ray be built to a

1.SUN/SHADE
Due to Vail's alplne cllmate, sun ls
an important comforl factor,
especially in winter, fall and spring.
Shade areas have ambient
temperatures substantially below
. those of adjacent direct sunlit areas.
On all but ths warmest ol summer
days shade can easily lower
temperatures below comfortable
levels and thereby negatively lmpact
uses of those areas.
All new or expanded buildings
should not substantially increase the
spring and fall shadow pattern
(March 21 through September 23)
on adjacent properties or the public
R.O.W.
In allbuilding construction, shade
shafl be considered in massing and
overall height consideration.
Notwithstanding, sun/shade
considerations are not intended to
restrjct building height allowances,
but rather to influence the massing
of buildings. Limited height
exceptions may be granted to meet
this criteria.
Additions to exlsting buildings may
be created in several ways to avoid
exlending shadow patterns.

VIEWS AND FOCAL POINTS G.
Vail's mountain&alley setting ls a
lundamental part of lb identity.
Views of the mountalns, sld slopes,
creeks and other natural features
are reminders ol the mountaln
environment and, by repeated
visibility, are orientation reference
poin!s. Certain building features
also provide important orientation
references and visual focal polnts.
The most signilicant view corridors
have been adopted as part of
Chapter 18.73 of the Vait Municipal
Code. The view conidors adopted
should not be considered
exhauslive. When evaluating a
development proposal, priority
should be given to an analysis of
th€ impact of the project on views.
Views that should be preserved
originate from either maJor
pedestrian areas or public spaces,
and include views of the ski
mountain, the Gore Flange, the
Clock Tower, the Bucksack Tdwer
and other important man-made and
natural elements that contribute to
the sense'of place associated with
Vail. These views, which have
been adopted by ordinance, wero
chosen due to their significance, not
only from an aesthetic standpoint,
but also as orientation reference
points for pedestrians.
Development in VailVillage shall
not encroach into any adopted view
corridor unless approved under
Chapter 18.73. Adopted corridors
are listed in Chapter 18.73 of the
Vail Municipal Code. Whether
atfecting adopted view conidors or

UR
CONSIDERATIONS
ROOFS
l/here visib'le, roofs are often one of thd nrost dorninant architectural elements in ani built environrnnt. In the Village roof form, color and texture are visibly doninant, and generally consistent, whii:h
tends to unify the building diversity to a great degree.
The current expression, and objective,for roofs in the Village is to forrn
a. consistently unifying backdrop for.
the architecture and pedestrian'
streetscape, and to avoid roofs which
tend to stand out lndividually or distract vjsua'l1y from the ovLrall
cha racte r-
Rodf Forrns
Roofs within the Vi'llage are typically
gable in form and.of moderate-to-low pitch. Shed roofs are frequently
used for small additions to larger
bulldings. Free-standing shed
roofsr butterfly roofs and flat
roofs, can be found in the Village
but theJ are.generally considered
to be out of character and inapprop-
riate. Hip roofs likewise are rare
rnd generally inconiistent with the
charicter oi the Core Area. Towers
are exceptfons' in both form and
pltch, to the general-criteria' but
do have an establisheil local
veinacu'lar style which should be
respected.

Roof.slopes in the Vlllage typically
range from 3/12 to 6/12, with.slightly
steeper pitches in 'limited applications.
Again, for visual consistency this
general 3112-5112 range should be
preserved. (See Construction be]ow. )

Generous roof overhangs are also an
established architectural feature in
the Village - a traditional expression of shelter in alpine environments.
Roof overhangs typica'l 1y range from
3 to 5 feet on all edges. Specific
design consideration should be given to protection of pedestrian ways
adjacent to buildings. Tee falls,
snow slides, and runoff hazards can
be reduced by roof orientation,gutters, arcades, etc.
Overhang detai'l s are treated with
varying degrees of ornamentation.
Structural e'l ements such as roof beams
are expressed beneath the overhangs,
s'imply or decoratively carved. The
roof fascia is thick and wide, g'iving
a substantial edge to the roof.

The intricate roofscape ot itre viltage

For any single building a varied but

preferred to either a sin91 e or a

Cormon roof prob'lems and design con-

- snowslides onto pedestrian wa'l ks
- gutters freezing
- ioof dams and water infiltration
- heavy snow loads
Caiefui attention to these functiona'l
details ,is recormended, as we!! .qs familiarity with the local building
code, provln construction details.
and tovrn ordinances.
For bui]t-up t'oofs, pitches of 4112

For shiirgle roofs, pitches -of .4112 or sha'l'l6wer often result in ice

Cold-roof construction is strong'ly ptefeired, unless warm-roof benefits for a specific application can be
demonstrated. Co] d-roofs are double-
roofs vrhich insul ate and prevent snow
melt from interna'l building heat. By
retaining snow on the roof, many of
the problems listed can be reduced.
Periodic snow remova'l wlll be required
and should be anticipated in the'
des i gn.
Roof gutters tend to ice-in completely
and becorne ineffective in the Vai'l
climate, espdcially in shaded north-
side locations. Heating the interior
. circumference with heat-tape e'lements
or ofher devices is generally nec-
essary to assure adequate runoff
contro'l in colder months.
