Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1 999, An Ordinance Amending A Special Development District - SDD No. 30 (VailAthletic Club) And Repeating A And Reenacting Ordinance No. 3, Series Of 1998, To Allow For A Change In The Number Of Dwelling Units/Accommodation Units, Modifications In Square Footage And GRFA; And Amending The Development Plan In Accordance With Title 12, Chapter 9, Of The Vail Municipal Code And Setting Forth Details In Regard Thereto. (1 hr.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCTL: Approve/Modify/Deny Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1999, on first reading. BACKGROUND MTIONALE: The VailAthtetic Ctub (JWT 1987 Limited Partnership), represented by Stan Cope and John Perkins, has submitted a request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District (SDD) #30 (as amended by Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1998) to allow for a reduction in the number of accommodation units from 54 to 46 (or 48), an increase in the number of dwelling units from 3 to 4 (new dwelling unit to contain one lock-off unit), and an increase in GRFA as shown in the table attached to this memorandum. The changes are proposed due to financing constraints (the need to have additional revenue from the sale of a dwelling unit) and also the desire to construct larger accommodation units which the applicant states are more suitable for a first class boutique hotel. The applicant is asking for some flexibility in the exact number of accommodation units so that final design and costing can determine whether they provide 46 AUs or 48 AUs (48 is the maximum number they can have based on parking requirements). Additionally, the owner of a condominium on the fifth floor (Angelo) is proposing to add a dormer and 713 sq. ft. of GRFA to their unit. This condominium owner is entitled to add this space and dormer under the interior conversion ordinance (Section 12-1541which was passed last year regardless of this SDD amendment, however, they have agreed to bring this request forward with the VAC application so that it can be viewed with the other improvements. Below is a summary of the changes (it should lre noted that final hotel room design has not been completed and therefore there could be minor shifts in floor area to accommodate maid storage and other necessary common area improvements): There is a slight reduction in common area (52 sq. ft.) from the 1998 approval. z 2 Dominic Mauriello Common Area: t I AUs: DUs: EHUs: Parking: The number of AUs is reduced to 46 units. The GRFA allocated to all AUs decreased approximately 10Yo or 2,337 sq. ft. Most of the existing accommodation units are approximately 300 sq. ft. Some new accommodation units are proposed at 500+ sq. ft. The number of DUs is being increased by one unit (3 DUs to 4). The new proposed unit is approximately 3,700 sq. ft. in area. The west condo now has a lock-off associated with it. The number of EHUs remains the same at 4 units. The square footage allocated is being reduced by 39 sq. ft. The sizes range from 220 sq. ft. to 3S0 sq. ft. The proposal reduces the demand for parking by 2 parking spaces (from22 to 20 spaces). The applicant still proposes 22 spaces on-site. The proposed changes to the building do not result in an amended footprint or modifications to the site plan. The previously approved site plan and conditions of approval are proposed to be canied fonarard. The building elevations are modified by the addition of several dormers on the south and north elevations of the building and the enclosure of areas that were previously balconies. The DRB will be required to review these changes to the building. overall the changes are minor in terms of bulk and miss or impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed building continues to meet the definition of a lodge with 64% of the GRFA devoted to accommodation units and 36% devoted to dwelling units (includes lock-off)- See the attached PEC for greater detail. The PEC recommended approval of the proposal at its April 26, 199g meeting subject to the following conditions: 1. That the previous site plan, landscape, and off-site rmprovement approvals continue to apply. 2. That the Design Review Board review and approve the proposed changes to the building. 3. That the applicant deed restrict the 4, Type lll, Employee Housing Units in accordance with the Town Code prior to obtaining a temporary or final certificate of occupancy. 4. The applicant shall be responsible for all of the public improvements of the original approval (including heating the sidewalk adjacent to property from the north side oithe bridge to the front entry of the VAC building and provide stone veneer on the access to the parking structure, per the approved plans, etc.). 5. The applicant shall provide and receive approval of a complete set of engineered civil drawings for all public improvements prior to receiving a building permit for the project. 6. That the number of AIJs falt in the range between 46-4g. (added by PEC). 7. That the total square footage of the four EHU,s be nof /ess than 1,149 sg. ,?. - 1,300 sq. ft. (added by pEC). 4.

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: BAGKGROUND RATTONALE: Since February 27, 1979, the Town and Holy Cross Energy have been partners in an Electric Utility Franchise Agreement. That Agreement by its terms, was to expire of February 27, 1999 and has by the Vail Town Council, in Resolution No. 3, Series of 1999, extended that Franchise for a oeriod not to exceed ninety (90) days. The Town Manager, the Town Attorney and Acting public Works Director have been negotiating terms and conditions for a renewal of the Franchise Agreement with Holy Cross Energy. The two principle areas of discussion have been the franchise fee and the allocation of costs of undergrounding power lines within the area of the Franchise Agreement. In regard to the franchise fee, it is currenily set at 3%, which is consistent with other municipalities with whom Holy Cross Energy has franchise agreements. lt is anticipated that the franchise fee will generate a payment to the Town of Vail in the amount of $318,000 for 1999. The Town Manager will address the franchise fee and the possibility of an increase thereto. In the Franchise Agreement, for the first time, there appears a Community Enhancement Fund. Pursuant to the terms of the Franchise Agreement Holy Cross Energy commits to creating a fund equal to 1% of the prior year's gross revenues annually. This fund, which is available to be utilized for a number of community purposes including the undergrounding of overhead electric and other utility lines, will generate approximately $100,000 per year for the term of the agreement. Under the present terms of the Franchise Agreement the cost for undergrounding overhead facilities falls upon the Town of Vail.

Communig Darelopment Department TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: '(a MEMORANDUM Planning and Environmental Commission Communify Development Department April26, 1999 A request for an amendment to Special Development District #30 (VAC), to allow for an additional dwelling unit and reduction of accommodation units, located at the vail Athletic club, 352 E. Meadow Drive/Parcels A & B, vail Village First Filing. Applicant: JWT 1987 Limited Partnership, represented by John Perkins John and Judy Angelo, represented by Ken Robertson and Larry EslwithPlanner: Dominic Mauriello I. DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE BEQUEST The Vail Athletic Club (JWT 1987 Limited Partnership), represented by Stan Cope and John Perkins, has submitted a request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District (SDD) #30 (as amended by Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1998) to allow for a reduction in the number of accommodation units from 54 to 46 (or 48), an increase in the number of dwelling units from 3 to 4 (new dwelling unit to contain one lock-off unit), and an increase in GRFA as shown in the table attached to this memorandum. The changes are proposed due to financing constraints (the need to have additional revenue from the sale of a dwelling unit) and also the desire lo construct larger accommodation units which the applicant states are more suitable lor a first class boutique hotel. The applicant is asking for some flexibility in the exact number of accommodation units so that final design and costing can determine whether they provide 46 AUs or 48 AUs (48 is the maximum number they can have based on parking requirements). Additionally, the owner of a condominium on the fifth floor (Angelo) is proposing to add a dormer and 713 sq. ft. of GRFA to their unit. This condominium owner is entitled to add this space and dormer under lhe interior conversion ordinance (Section 12-15-41which was passed last year regardless of this SDD amendmenl, however, they have agreed to bring this request forward with the VAC application so that it can be viewed with the other improvements. Below is a summary of the changes (it should be noted that final hotel room design has not been completed and therefore there could be minor shifts in floor area to accommodate maid storage and other necessary common area improvements): Common Area: AUs: There is a slight reduction in common area (52 sq. ft.) from the 1998 approval. The number of AUs is reduced to 46 units. T'he GRFA allocated to all AUs decreased approximately 10o/o ot 2,337 sq. ft. Most of the existing accommodation units are approximately 300 sq. ft. Some new accommodation units are proposed at 500+ sq. ft. F:\EVERYON E\PEC\MEMOS\99WAC2. DO C EHUs: The number of DUs is being increased by one unit (3 DUs to 4). The new proposed unit is approximately 3,700 sq. ft. in area. The west condo now has a lock-off associated with it. The number of EHUs remains the same at 4 units. The square footage allocated is being reduced by 39 sq. ft. The sizes range lrom 220 sq. ft. to 350 sq. ft. The proposal reduces the demand for parking by 2 parking spaces (trom 22 to 20 spaces). The applicant still proposes 22 spaces on- site. Parking: The proposed changes to the building do not result in an amended footprint or modifications to the site plan. The previously approved site plan and conditions of approval are proposed to be canied lonryard. The building elevations are modified by the addition of several dormers on the south and north elevations of the building and the enclosure of areas that were previously balconies. The DRB will be required to review these changes to the building. Overall the changes are minor in terms of bulk and mass or impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed building continues to meet the definition of a lodge with 54% of the GRFA devoted to accommodation units and 36% devoted to dwelling units (includes lock-off). Reductions of the proposed floor plans are attached. In 1998 the applicant received approval to eliminate one dwelling unit and one accommodation unit and make other interior and exterior changes to the building. See the attached spreadsheets for additional history on approvals. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Communlty Development Department recommends approval of the proposed amendments subject to the following linding: That the proposed major amendment to Special Development District #30 (Vail Athletic Club) complies with the nine design criteria outlined in Section 12-9A-8 of the Town Code. Additionally, the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission that any adverse effects of the requested deviation from the development standards of the underlying zoning are outweighed by the public benefits provided. The recommendation of approval is also subject to the following conditions: 1. That the previous site plan, landscape, and off-site improvement approvals continue to apply. 2. That the Design Review Board review and approve the proposed changes to the building. 3. That the applicant deed restrict the 4, Type lll, Employee Housing Units in accordance with the Town Code prior to obtaining a temporary or linal certilicate ol occupancy. 4. The applicant shall be responsible for all of the public improvements of the original approval (including heating the sidewalk adjacent to property from the north side FIEVERYONE\PEC\MEMOS\99WAC2.DOG 2 DUs: o (l of the bridge to the front entry of the VAC building and provide stone veneer on the access to the parking structure, per the approved plans, etc.). 5. The applicant shall provide and receive approval of a complete set of engineered civil drawings for all public improvements prior to receiving a building permit for the project. III. ZONING ANALYSIS This analysis shows the comparison of the current proposed amendment with the underlying zoning. See attached spreadsheet for comparison with 1993 - 1998 amendments. ttarics denobs no change from previous approvals. Underlying Zoning: Public Accommodation (PA) Lot Area: 30,486 sq. ft. Standard PAzoninq 1999 Proposal GRFA: 24,388 sq. ft. (80%) 36,492 sq. ft. (includes 713 sq. ft. inlerior conversion by separate app.) Density: 25 DUs per acre 28.33 DUs (AUs are 0.5 of a DU or 17.5 DUs (46 -48 AUs, 4 DUs, & 4 EHUs) and EHU's are 0.333 of a DU) Landscape area: 9,145 sq. ft. (min) 9,730 sq. ft. (N/C) Site Coverage: 16,767 sq. ft. 21,350 sq. ft. (N/C) Parking: 20 spaces 22 spaces (N/C) (per 1977 vaiance) Building height: 48' 67'South, sg'Notth (N/C) VI. AMENDMENT PBOCEDURE The proposed changes described in Section I are considered to be Major Amendments to the 1993 approved SDD and subsequent amendments. As stated in the Zoning Code Section 1 2- 9A-2, a major amendment is defined as follows: "Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved Special Development District. . ." Since the applicant's proposed amendments to the SDD involve changes to gross residential floor area, as well as density (number of units), the proposal is required to follow the Major SDD Amendment procedure. The PEC shall provide a recommendation to the Town Council regarding the proposal. The Town Council may approve the proposal via two readings of an F\EVERYONE\PECWEMOS\99VAC2.DOC 3 ,}o ordinance. IV. SPEGIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITEFIA As provided for in Section 12-9A-8 of the Town Code, there are nine SDD review criteria which are to be used to evaluate the merits of a proposed Major SDD Amendment. lt should be noted that the staff analysis of the project's compliance with the SDD review criteria has only focused on the proposed amendments lo the sDD, and not on the balance ol the 1993 or 1996 approvals. The review criteria, and the staff's analysis of the proposal's compliance with the review criteria, are as follows: A. Design compatibilily 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. Minimal architectural changes are proposed to the design of the building. The overall scale, and mass and bulk of the proposed slructure will generally remain as it was approved in 1993 and subsequently amended. The primary roof forms (and building height) will also remain as approved in 1993, with the addition of several dormers. Staff does not believe these changes will significantly affect the bulk and scale ol the building. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and woftable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The general uses within the redeveloped Vail Athletic Club (VAC) are not proposed to change. The building continues to meet the definition of a lodge as more than 50% of the GRFA is devoted to accommodation units. The floor area additions are relatively minor with respect to the overall scope of the project with an increase of approximately 2.62/" from the 1998 approval or 4.910/" over the 1993 approval. C. Compliance with parking and loading requiremenls as oullined in Title 12, Chapter 10. Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the SDD are in compliance with this criteria. The Town's zoning requirement is for a total of 20 parking spaces to be provided on the site, which is based on the reduction in the number of accommodation units and the addition of a new dwelling unit. This proposal would reduce the number of required parking spaces lrom22 to 20, however, the applicant is proposing to accommodate 22 parking spaces on-site. D. Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans. VAIL LAND USE PLAN The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process for new or amended development proposals. The staff considered the following Land Use Plan Goals/Policies during the initial review of the FTEVERYONE\PEC\MEMOS\99WAC2.DOC 4 o ,o 1993 SDD establishment for the Vail Athletic Club, and further, staff believes that these goals and policies continue to be applicable with regard to the current Major SDD Amendment proposal: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality ol development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 4.2 Increased density in the core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 4.3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) Staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the goals and policies of the Land Use Plan as described above. VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN The staff believes that the 1993 approval for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club carried out many of the goals and objectives contained in the Vail Village Master Plan. Additionally, the staff believes that the current Major SDD Amendment proposal also furthers the following Master Plan's goals and objectives: Goal #1 -Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. Obiective 1.2 - Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal #2 - To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. Obiective 2.3 - lncrease the number of residential units available for short term overnight accommodations. Policv 2.3.1 - The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Residential units that are developed above existing density levels are required to be designed or managed in a manner that makes them available for short term overnight rental. Obiective 2.5 - Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance F :\EVERYON E\PEC\MEMOS\ggWAC2. DOC 5 o of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better serve the needs of our guests. Goal #5 - Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics of the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. Policv 5.1.5 - Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground or visually concealed parking. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the Vail Village Master Plan goals, objectives, and policies as described above. ldentitlcation and mitigation ol natural and/or geologic hazards that aflect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Although this project is located adjacent to Gore Creek, no portion of the proposal encroaches into the fifty{oot stream setback, nor into the 1oo-year floodplain. There are no other natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property. Site plan, building design and localion and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development tesponsive and sensitive to natural leatutes, vegetation and overall aesthetic qualily of the community. Although this criteria was discussed extensively during the 1993 review, staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no negative impacts on this criteria. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site tralf ic circulation. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in otder to optimize and preserve nalural features, lecreation, views and functions. Again, the staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and eflicient relatlonship throughout the development of the special development district.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The applicant is requesting a review of the proposed establishment of a Special Development District (SDD) for the redevelopment of lhe Vail Athletic Club located at 352 East Meadow Drive. The Vail Athletlc Club is locat'ed on the southwest comer of Vail Valley Drive and East Meadow Drive at the bottom of Blue Cow Chute. The property is currently zoned Public Accommodation and is considered to be nonconforming with regard to development stiandards. The appllcant has indicated that the purpose of requesting a SDD for his property is to lmprove the appearance of the building and site as well as make il a more viable hotel. The proposal includes the deletion of six dr,rrelling unib, the addition of twenty-four accommoda$cn units, a decrease to the Club Area, a decrease in total restaurant area, modifications to the elevations, a decrease in common area and the addition of nine; underground parking spaces. The four existing employee units will remain on-site and will bepermanently deed restricted The deviations from the Public Accommodalion development standards include: 1. D9,nsiry. The proposed density for the proiect will be 30.33 dwelling units (DU), which will include 52 AUs, 3 DUs and 4 employee housing units. The exEting density for the project is 24.33 DU and thE allowed density for the project 17.5 DUs. ine totat density increase is 6 DUs over the existing development and 12.83 DUs over Fre allowable - ' density. 2. GRFA. The applicant is proposing a total of 32,282square feet of GF|FA. In addition to this, there is an overage on common area of 8,456 square feet. When this is added to GRFA, he total GRFA for tre project will be 40,738 square feet. The a[ow.ed GRFA/Common Area for the prdect is 32,924 square feet. Cunently, there is 33,902 square feet of GRFA in the project which includes overages on common area. This rEsufts in a total increase of GRFA/Common Area of 6,836 square feet above the existing development and 7,814 square feet over the allowable GRFA/Common Area. 3- common Area. The applicant is proposing to reduce common area, however, the existing project is in excess ol the altowed common area by 13,541 square feet which is added to the GRFA. The proposal would exceed the altorvabte common area by 8,t156 square feet. 4. Heioht The existing building is 67 feet in height on the south elevation and 59 feet on the north elevation. The allowable height is 45 feet. The applicant does not propose to increase he ridge height, however, dormers will be added to both the north and south of the building where the ridge heights exceed the 45 foot height allowance. 5. Site Coveraoe. Currently, the site coverage lor the project is 20,796 square feet. The application will increase this to 21,350 square feet. Which includes the underground . parking and service areas. The allowed site coverage for the site is 16,767 square feet. 6. . Accessorv Use. The accessory use allowance is 10% of exlstlno GRFA. lf built as proposed, this proiect would have an accessory use allowance of 3,228 square feet. As proposed, the allowable accessory use will be 3,426 square feet. This is a reduction from the existing 4,066 square feet. However, there is still an overage of 198 square leet. 7. @,, The appticant proposes to add building along the north side of the project. This will be in fte area of the entry and the restaurant. The addition of fre entry will result in a 1 foot selback from the property line. The existing. parking sfucture has a o foot setback. on the south side of the project, fie appticant is proposing an at grade tenace which will have a minimum seback of 2 feet. The required setback in this area would be 10 feet. In addition, other areas of the building which are currently in the sebacks will be infilled. This includes an arca on he northwesi comer as well as decks along the rear of the building. The dormers will also be increasing the amount of buitding in the sebacks. The applicant has proposed to do the foltowing with the application:. 1. Decrease the amount of GRFA allocated torrards drvelling unib and increasefie amount of GRFA for accommodation units. 2- Decrease the number of dwefring units and increase the number of. ac€ommoflation unib. 3. Encroach further into the lront setback with entry and second-story accommodation unit as wetl as an addition to the restaurant to the east of theentry. \ 4. Increase common area while decreasing the area allocated towards a@essory uses and athletic ctub use. 5' Add dormers to the building on the north and south side which do not exceed the existing ridge height of the building. lnsert decks into the roof structure on the south elevalion. . 6' Increase the amount of site coverage as a result of the new entry and restaurant ad.dition (554 square feet). 7. Add tenace and expand dining deck on south elevation. 8. Removal of deck on the south elevation which currently encroaches onto public land. 9- The applicant is proposing to mget the incremental increase in parking requirements. There is an existing deficit of 58.44 spaces on the site. The ngtry parking is located in tre following manner: .2 spaces built underground below the entry.2 spaces added by relocating an existing ski storage area.2 spaces added by relocating the laundry room.1 space added along the south side of the parking structure.2 soaces in central area of oarkino structure . I total 10- Change exterior materials of builcting. This includes stucco, wood lrim, deck railings and a wood shake roof. Add streetscape improvements. These include: a 6 foot heated concrete paver walk along West Meadow Drive, an 8 foot heated concrete paver walk afong Vail Valley Drive exlending over the Gore Creek bridge and street lamps. The pavers on the bridge will not be heated. Relocation of existing trash area and removal of the existing fash facility which is encroaching onto adjacent properties. 13. The applicant proposes to provide one two-bedroom employee housing unit within the Town of Vail which will be restricted according to the Town ot Vail employee housing requirements. 14. Additional landscaping on the north and soufr sides of fre building. 'For furlher details on the deviations please see section lll, Zoning Analpis, of this memorandum, which specify the changes in development standards for the projecl Also, please see applicant's description of proposal for specific details. II. BACKGROUND A- Prolect History The Vail Athletic Club was originally developed in'1977 and inctuded " ri*"0 use building' with condominiums and accommodation units as well as the health ctub facility and officei. Twenty on-site parking spaces were provided for the project and a variance was received for the remaining required spaces. Per the file records, it appears that the variance was granted in order to facilitate the construclion of hotel rooms which were needed in the community at the time. In 1977, it was felt that il would be reasonable to grant a parking variance for the sixteen parking spaces for this property due to the proximity of the Town parkng struclure. Parking variances for four additional spaces have been granted for the project,since that time. ln addition, while variances were not granted for height or denslty, the projbct was ailowed to deviate from these standards. Seback variances were granted in 1gT7 tor the development of the project. The property has been the subject of numerous redevelopments over a number of yeai-s and subsequent parking variances. At the time ot the proiect approval in 1977, it was discussed that possibly a portion of the property which the Vail Atfrletic Club had acquired would not be counted towards their developable site area. Research has been conducted regarding this issue to determine whether or not that was actually done. The statf has found no definitive information which would indicate that this was completed. B. Previous PEC reviews on June 28, 1993, a joint worksession was held with the planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and the Design Revierr Board.(DRB) to discuss the establishment of an SDD for this site. At this time, the applicant was directed to work wittr the existing volume of he building. lt was also indicated that it might be acceptable to expand the buitding adjacent to the Mountain Haus. lt was stated frat some expansion would be acceptable on ine - 11. 12. I soufiwest comer and that no additionat development should be proposed on the north side ofhe building. In addition, there was a concern with the additionaishade/shadow being cast on Meadow Drive. ln regard to parking, the PEC indicated that the applicant shoutd striie to accommodate parking on-site. on Tresday July 13, 1993, a worksession was held wiffr the Town council regarding the parking for this project- During this discussion, three of the Town Councif members were gpen t9 discussing turther the possibility of pay-in-lieu parking for fris site. Three of the Town Council members fett that the applicant snold accomrirodatiparking on-site due to he already significant overa(;e ot piiKng which is not provided od tre sr=te- As a result of this discussion, the applicant has provided an additional nine parking spaces on the site which will accommodate all of the increases in parking generated by the rendvation of the building. On July 26, 1993, an addiilonal worksession was held witr the PEG.

As stated in the Zoning Code, the purpose of Special Development Disticts is as follows: The purpose of the special dwelopment distict is to encourage flexibility and. creativity in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use: to improve the design character and quality of new development witnin tne Town; to tacilitate fie adequate and economical provision of stieets dnd utilities; to provide the natural and scenic.features of open space areas; and to further the overall goats of the communip as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan. An approved development pran for a specialdweropment disirict, in conjunction with the propefi's underlying zone district, shtl establish the requirements guiding development and uses of property inctuded in a special development district.' The staff finds that the application meets the purpose of the Special Development District. Specifically, staff linds that this application furthers the overall goals of the iommunity as stated in he vail comprehensive plan. The project proposes io improve the design - character, function and quality of the development and provide addiiionat short-term units within the Village which is a specific goal of .many elements of the Comprehensive ptan. The staff as well as the PEC have identified in past reviews that this site is appropriate for increased densities as well as a variety of uses due to the location anO iroxiinity to the Vittage core area' In addition, employee houslng ild streetscape improvement-s are prbposed which provide overall community benefit. Stiaff recognizes that the existing building ixceeOs fte underlying zoning requirements, but believes that due to the site and location lt ls suitable to allow for such deviations as proposed intlre application given the goals and policies in the Town's Land Use Plan. vait viilage Master plari and S!ryg5g_tlgIt. pbale see section vttoifiIdheiliffii5 orirn".ep1.6: -" ' I V. SPECIAL trEVELOPMENT D'STFICT CRITERIA The fottowing nine criteria should be used to review the project A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immedlate envlronmenti neighborhood and adlacent properti€ relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, bufferzones, ldentity, characterr yisual integrity and orientation. Massino The staff feels that fiis criterion is especially imporiant to the review of this proiect. While this application does not propose to increase the maximum ridge height, the proposal includes adding dormers to the existing roof. The amount of building area is increased with building infills and the Introduction of a series of dormers. On the south side, roof cut outs are being used for the three central top units. Ohenryise, dormers have been added to both sides of the roof form in order to utilize existing "dead'space. . The applicant has also modified the roof form on bofh the east and west elevations of the building. The east elevation terraces back frorn Vait Valley Drive and additional windows have been added lo this elevation. Tenacing has also been accomplished on the west elevation adjacent to the Mountain. Hius. The low eave line which is maintained with this proposal and the landscaping of the site bring the scale of the building down to a peOestrian level. The staff feels that maintaining the pedestrian character of this area is important as it is. seen as a major coridor to Golden Peak and the Village from the parking structure and is also used by pedestrians to access Ford park. The Vail Village Master Ptan catls for fris building to have a maximum of four . stories. From the original application, the applicant has lowered the building to the existing ridge line in alt locations and decreased the scale of fie dormers in order to decrease the shadoyv on East Meadow Drive. SuniShade The proposed building increases the amount of shade on East Meadow Drive by 5 feet 6 inches in the area ol he entry, 24leet 6 inches on the west wing and 5 feet on the east wing on December 21st (See attached sury'shade analysis). The impacts on shade on September 21st will be an increase of 1 foot 6 inches in the center of the building, 11 feet on the west wing and 2 feel 6 inches on the east wing. The amount oi shade is determined by b-oth the angle of the sun and the height of the ridge or eave line. While he December 21s[. date creates the most impact the September 21st date is what is specilied in he code for sun/shade analysis in the CCI zone district. Altrough this propefty is not in CCl, the shade impact is important to address for this pedestrian o The greatest impact in shade is seen on the west wing of fre building. on December 21st, the proposed building will cast shadow onto theliOervattc On September 21st, the increase in shade in his area wilt be 11 feet and does not cast shadow onto th8 sidewalk. lt should be noted that the existing' building casts shadoi,v beyond the sidewalk into the street in he center of the building and east wing. ln the center and east wing, the additionat shade cast will be 5 feet 6 lnches and I feet accordlngly as i result of the dormers. The applicant proposes to heat the paver sidewalk which will make this area safer' for the pedestrian. The staff feels that fre increases in shade have been minimized to a point that is acceptable. Entrv on the north side of fre building, the applicant proposes to add a two and a half story entry area to the building. The entry has been lowered by two floors fo* tha original proposal. The design of tre entry minimizes he massing impacts of the element and does not add any more shade to the stre6t- ' Buildino Foolorint The applicant proposes to increase the building footprint by 450 square feet to allow for the restaurant addition and entry. staff does not have a problem with the restaurant addition as no landscaping is removed. The entry will remove two to four tees which the applicant has agreed to relocate or replace. Streetscaoe The applicant has proposed to install required streetscape improvements discussed in section Vlll of this memo. This includes a heated paver walk along Vail valley Drive as well as a heated paver walk along the south side of East Meadow Drive. The driveway to the garage wiil also be heated. ln general, the project is sensitive to adjacent properties through the use of appropriate architectural design and massing as welt as landscaping. B. Uses, activity and density which provirte a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surroundlng uses and activity. Densitv The.applicant proposes to increase the lggl density of the project by six cturelling units. This inclu.des the removal of six dwelling units -as well as the addition of twenty-four accommodation units. o' the nine dwelling unlts on-site, six are cunenuy restricted per the ,Condominium Converslon requiremenF. There ar,L two existini units which are tree market and the applicant wishes to retain one additional u-nresuicted unit. The staff feels that because this unit is already restricted that it should remain available for short{erm rental accoding to section 17.26 of the subdivision Regulations, condominium conversion, or an employee housing unit should be provided in place of t[e restricted unit as was allowed with thl vail Village lnn Goodes space. The staff would prefer to see an addiuonal I employee housing unit vensus the restricted DU provided as we believe the employee housing unit also provides an lmportsnt community benefit. The staff feels that ttre applicant's desire to increase the short term hotel units . is very positive. The GRFA attributable to drrvelling unib has been decreased by 1,870 square feet. 13,270 square feet of GRFA will be added to increase he amount of floor area for accommodation uniF. The additional GRFA has been gained by using existing dead space within the building, using common area more efficienfly, and the addition of dormers and infilling portions of decks. on the south side: An idditional 6,201 square feet of total building atea will be added wlth this proposal. In order to insure that the AU's remain as short- term rentals, the staff requests that the orrner sgree to not subdivicle the units in the future per the Condominium Converslon section of the Subdivision Regulations. Emolovee Housino Currently, four employee housing units are required on-site per fte 192 parking variance. The applicant proposes that these units remain on-site and has agreed to restrict these units on a permanent basis. Due to the requested increases in density, the applicant has indicated that there may be an Increase of two to four employees on the site. Utilizing the Employee Housing Guidelines, based on the net increase in development over the existing building, two to tour additional employees would be generated by the expansion. The stalf would require that one two-bedroom or two one-bedroom units be provided to address the increase- The summary is as follows: a) Bar/Flestaurant = 321 sg. ft. (@6.5/1,000 sq. ft.) = 2.08 employees (decrease) b) Retail/ServicE Commercial = 310 sg. fi. (@6.5/1,000 sq. ft.) = 2.015 employees (decrease) c) Dwelling Units = 6 uni6 (@.4/room)= 2.4 employees (decrease) d) Accommodation Units =24 units (@.75lroom) = 18 emolovee fincrease) e) Total 115 or 12 employees .12 employees x .15 housing mulliplier = 1.8 or 2 employees .12 employees x .30 housing mulfiplier = 3.6 or 4 employees .Assumino two emolove the proposed one two-bedroom unit would be needed per the employee generation formula The statf has used the higher multiplier due to the overages in density. The Employee Housing Report does not ditferentiate between the provision of on-sile or otf-site housing' As 10. \',- o stated above, the slaff would like to see one more employee unit provided in order to lift the use restriction on fie proposed dwelling unit. C. Compliance with parklng and loadlng requirements as outlined in Chapter 1852. Parkino Parking has been a long.standing issue on this site. In researching the history of this project, the staff found that there were a number of variances gmllted to this project. ln December of 19V, twenty underground parking spaces were approved lor this site. At fiat time, it was recognized that surface parking was not appropriate for his site and that these spaces would be the maximum number that could be placed on the site. Different anangements have been made over the years for parking on Town of Vail land as well as other properties for this project to address the deficit. Variances have been granted for a total of twenty spaces over the life of lhe project. Using today's standards, there is an existing deficit of 58.4 parking spaces for the project. ' There would be a nine space parking requirement increase as a result of this expansion. This is based on the ditference between the required parking for the proposed project and he existing development. The applicant is proposing an additional nine on-site parking spaces which would bring the total on-site spaces to twenty-nine. All of the parking spaces would be valet. Cunently, the applicant valet parks eighteen parking spaces in the existing structure. The parking structure will be expanded which will accommodate the nine additional spaces. Due to the type of use of this facility, valet parking is appropriate and has been approved for other projects of this nature. With the full-time concierge and valet, this lype of parking solution is feasible. In addition, atler reviewing the function of the existing facility, it appears that the proposed plan is reasonable and, the additional nine parking spaces can be accommodated. The two existing exterior spaces will remain adjacent to the entrance to the parking structure on the west side. No additional square footage has been added to the health club and therefore frre statf does not leel that it is appropriate to assess a parking requirement for this facility. Parking for a health club is determined by the PEC. There is no parking standard for his type of use. No parking requirement has been assessed in the past and the staff is not assessing any additional parking nor do we recommend to the PEC that a parking requirement be set as no club square footage is being proposed. 11 Loadino and Deliverv The applicant is providing a loading facility with a pull-out from East Meadow Drive. This will accommodate he short-term parking needs of the projecl Loading and Delivery will also be accommodated in this pull-off area. The applicant will no longer be allowed to unload deliveries along Vail Valley Drive adjacent lo the restaurant entrance. This is a very unsafe practice which the Town does not encourage and will not allow to continue. In addition, the applicant proposes to remove the existing trash facility on the west side of the project. This enclosure encroaches both onto Town of Vail land as well as Mountain Haus property. The applicant would propose to include the trash facility inside the building in thissame area D. Gonformlty with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans. There are three other elements of the Comprehensive Plan which apply to this application: The VailViltage Master Plan, the Streetscape Master Plan and the Land Use Plan. Please see Sections Vl, Vll, and Vlll of thls memo lor further descriptions of these plans. Many elements of the Town's Comprehensive Plan encourage the development and preservation of hotel-type units. The applicant proposes to add an additional twenty-four AU's and delete six DU's for a total of. fifty-two AU's and three DU's. This is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan's objective to increase the hotel bed base. Please see Sections Vl, Vll and Vlll that identify the applicable goals and objectives of the plans. E. ldentificstion and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development dlstrict is proposed. This site is located adjacent to Gore Creek. No portion of thls proposal. encroaches.into the 50 foot stream setback or the one hundred year floodplain. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functionat devetopment responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Buildino Desion While the changes to he site plan through tris proposal are limited, the builcting design changes significantly. In respect to the south or Gore Creek side of the building, the applicant is proposing to. change the character of the elevation with the. enclosure and redesign of balconies and to change the window design. Dormers will be added to the east and west wings and decks will cut into the roof form in the center area. The appticant has adjusted the south elevation to brdak up the facade per PEC and statf comments. lnitially the applicant proposed to increase the height of the westem section of the building. 't2 curently, fre applicant proposes to maintain ajl of tre existing ridge lines and not increase the ridge in any area of the building. The staff feels that this is very positive. ln addition, the applicant is proposing to add a tenace at the lower tevel on the south side of the projecl This will encroach into the 20 foot seback and result ln a 2 foot selback a tre tightest point from the south property line. on the north elevation, the applicant proposes to infill an area on the east wing adjacent to he restaurant and add an entry. ln addition, balconies will be added to unils on the east wing. Dormers will be added in ail three areas on this elevation. This will ailow for the additional accommodation units on the upper level. These additions will cast additional shade onto East Meadow Drive. Landscaping has been proposed along the retaining wail a jacent to the sidewalk on the north side of the building. This wilL increase the landscape buffer between the building and tre public area. The stafl feels that lhis additional landscaping is very important to the project as it will screen the building and mitigate both the existing and proposed impacts of the buitding. Buildino's imDact on open space and veoetatlon The application impacts the existing landscaping on the north side of the building. Approximately two to four large evergreen trees will be lost as a result of this proposal. The applicant is proposing to landscape along the new stone retaining wall adjacent to the west wing in order to better screen the building in areas where landscaping does not cunently exist. The staff teels that while it is unfortunate trat these evergreen trees wiil possibly be lost, the addition of landscaping which includes evergreen and aspen trees along the sidewalk, wilt mitigate the impact of the loss of these two to four fees. The applicant will attempt to save these trees. However, in the event that they cannot be saved as a result of this construction, the applicant does agree to replace the trees. The applicant has also added a 3 foot planting step to the east of the existing at- grade parking on he west end of the building in order to help screen the parking. The step will also reduce the height of the wall in this area. On the south side of the building, the applicant wilt be removing an existing deck which is cunently located on Town of Vail land. The applicant proposes to add additional landscaping in this area which includes shrubs and aspen fees. This will buffer the building from the public area. Due to the amount of land and landscaping between the streamwalk and he building, adequate buffer areas are provided. The proposed landscaping adjacent to he building will be positive and will not hinder he use of this open space area on the south side of the building. The appllcant has also agreed to provide a mainlenance agreement to the Town lor this open space. 13 G.A clrsulation system designed for both vehlcles and pedestrlans addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. The applicant proposes to add nine underground parking spaces. By adding additional on-site parking, the vehicular traffic on East Meadow Drive will be increased. While it is an objective of the Streetscape Plan to make this area more pedestrianized, it ls atso an objective of the Vail Village Master Plan to have properties in this area provide on-site parking. The statf te€ls that the provision of on-site parking to mEet the additional requirement is imporlant given the constraints on parking our community must deal with. The applicant does propose to install an entry and pull-off in order to tacilitate the dropoff of guests and toading and delivery. The installation of a dropoff area will be a benefit to the area as cunently there is no otf-street drop-otf area for this building and the existing situation creates congestion along East Meadow Drive as guests and trucks park in the bus lane on Meadow Drive. The Town Engineer has signed off on this solution. With this applicalion, lhe statf recognizes that if would be ditficult to completely restricl East Meadow Drive from vehicular traffic, but would strive to limit the number of vehicles which must access East Meadow Drive. We also believe hat by providing safe well designed sidewalks, pedestrian circulation can also be accommodated. The applicant's proposal improves both pedestrian and' vehicular circulation in an area thai cunently must provide for both uses. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space ln order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreatlon, views and functions. Due to the installation of the pull-off and entry and relocation of the retaining wall in this area, two to {our evergreen trees could possibly be lost. The applicant has agreed to attempt to save these trees, however, it would appear fiat this may not be possible. The applicant does agree to replace these trees in addition to increasing the landscaping along East Meadow Drive between the building and the roadway adjacent to the sidewatk- Trees in the 30 foot range will be required to replace the trees that may not be able to be relocated. The new landscaping in front ot the building includes evergreens that range In size from 10 to 15 feet and aspens having a minimum of a 3 inctt caliper. To the east of the main entry io the building, the applicant is proposing to redesign the sidewalk as well as the landscape area This will involve cutting back the existing utility grate and bringing the landscape down to the same grade as the sidewalk. This is accomplished by moving the sidewalk and curbline to the south lrom ths existing location. Landscaping will also be added on the south elevation in the area where the existing deck is being removed. Aspen trees and shrubs will be added to this area and the grades will be redone to match the existing topographic conditions. H. 14 The landscaping on-site will be Inereased as a result of the removal of an above grade deck. With this application, the prolect wlll be in compliance with the landscaping requirement for the slte. l. Phaslng plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development.ot the special development districl . The applicant has not proposed that the consruction of tris project be phased. VI. VAIL LAND USE PLAN The goats contiained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as adopted poticy guid'elines in he review process for new development proposals. The Land Use Plans Goals/Policies applicable to the Vail Athletic Club redevelopment are as follows: i.t Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a ' balance between residential, commerclal and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as fie Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgnded whenever possible. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead areas are fte best location for hotels to serve thsfuture needs of the desUnation skieis. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, . therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 4.2 lncreased density in the core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through implementation of lhe Urban Design Guide Plan and the VailVillage Master Plan. 4.3 The ambiance oitn" Vtttug" is important to the iclentity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimale size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 53 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private etforts, asslsted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictio ns. 15 5.5. The existing employee housing base should be preserved and. upgraded. Additionaf employee housing needs shoutd be. accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. The application meets the goals and poticies in the Land Use Plan. The addition of short-term hotel rooms is a very positive addition to this area. ttem 4.2 specifies that increased densities in tte core are acceptable if tre character of the area is preserved. The applicant proposes to change the character of the building by changing the maieriats and design-cietails bf ttie building. While the proposal increases the size of the building, the staff -believes that the applicant has attempted to utilize the unused interior spaces ot ttre Uuitding to minimize the expansion on the exterior of the building. The scale aird design of the building with the addition of new materials and landscaping maintain the alpine character of the development. VII. VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN : The proposed redevelopment ol the Vait Athtetlc Club canies out many of the goals and objectives contained in the VailVillage Master Plan. Applicable goals and obj&tves are as follows: Goal #1 -Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community a;d identity. Obieclive 12 - Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal #2 - To loster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. Obiective 2.1 - Recognize the varieg of land uses found in the 10 sub-areas throughout the village and allow for development that is compatible with these established land use patems. obiective 2.3 - Increase the number of residential units available for short term overnight accommodations. . Policv 2.3.1. - The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Residential units that are developed above existing density levets are required to be designed or managed in a manner that makes them available for short term ovemight rental. Obiective 2.5 - Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and . maintenance of existing lodging and commerciat facilities to better serve the needs of our guests. ' Policv 2.5-1 - Recreation amenilies, common areas, meeting facilities and other amenilies shall be preserved and enhanced as a part of any redevelopment of lodging properties. 16 o Obiec.live 2.6 - Encourage the development of atfordable housing units throughfie effods of the private sector. obieqtive.2.6.1 - Employee housing units may be required as part of any new or redevelopment project requesting density over thal allowed by existlni;. zoning. 9p"t f - To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience hroughout the village.

Obiective 5.2 - Encourage the use of public transportation to minimize the use of private automobiles throughout Vail. Although this location is not addressed in any sub-area concept of the Vail Village Master Plan' it is discussed with regard to the height of buildings. The Vail Village Master Plan specifies that buildings adjacenl to Gore Creek should have a height of four stories. The existing building is four stories along East Meadow Drive. The proposal builds into the existing roof to lorm a fifth floor. This is being accomplished by adding dormers, inlitling porlions of decks on lhe south side, and using existing common area ind dead space in the roof form. None ol the ridge lines will be increased and all of the existing eave lines will be maintained. This application addresses the lour Vail Village Master Plan goals which are applicable to the site. lt also meets the twelve policies and objectives which ire applicable. VIII. STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN The sfeetscape Master Plan poins out hat tratfic on Vail Valley Drive is very heavy hroughout most of the year. lt is especially heavy in the momirig and late afiemoons during tle ski season, and evenings and weekends during the summer months. Pedestrian trafflc has increased because of the expansion of the Village Parking Structure and fre creation of a _ney eTtgm exit portal lrom his facility at Vail Valley Drive. Specific improvements for Vail Valley Drive in the area of the Vail Athtetic Club include the addition ot in e to 10 foot wide heated concrete unit paver walk on the west side of Vail Valley Drive extending over the 17 bridge at Gore Creek and a 6 foot wide concrete unit paver walk on the south side of East Meadow Drive. The applicant has included these improvements in this application with the exception that only a 6 foot walk is being proposed along Vail Valley Drive due to site consfainb and I feet along Meadow Drive. IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends approval of the application. We fnd that the proposal has developed into one which is in compliance with the objectives and purpose section of .the SDD zone district as well as the other Comprehensive Plan elements as described in the memo. The approval includes the tollowing understandings: 1. That the owner will permanently restict the 52 Aus as short-term rental units and that the 52 Aus shall not be subdivided in the future to allow for individual ownership. The condominium declarations shall be amended to include this point before any occupancy permils will be released. 2. In addition to the one two-bedroom permanently deed restricted emptoyee housing unit, the owner shall provide one-bedroom employee housing unit to allow for the use restriction to be lifted from the restricted dwelling unit. The employee housing unit restriction agreements shall be signed and submitted for saff approval before a building permit will be released for the project. fne totto",ing items will need to be addressed further as the project develops into working drawings. 1. Engineered drawings will need to be submitted which address the streetscape improvements lor review by the Town Engineer before a building permit is released for the project The staff feels that the application is a positive one and does meel the goals and objectives of the Town's Comprehensive Plan. These include the Land Use, the Village Master Plan, Zoning Code and SDD Criteria- We recognize that the proposal deviates from the existing zoning. We recognize that it is important to increase amommodation units as well as maintain and improve existing buildings in town in order to maintain the area. We feel that this is a site which can handle increased density and deviations from the site development standards which include height, density and site coverage while maintaining the existlng scale and character of the neighborhood. c:\pecvnernosvac.92T 18 ) r-.!il, &Gr! l'. i. ll I I !

Meadow Drive/Parcels A & B, VailVillage First Filing, Applicant: J\ /T 1987 Limited Partnership, represented by John PerkinsPlanner: Dominic Mauriello/Brent Wilson I. DESCRIPTION AND BAGKGROUND OF THE REOUEST The Vail Athletic Club (JWT 1987 Limited Partnership), represented by Stan Cope and John Perkins, has submitted a request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District (SDD) #30 (as amended by Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1998) to allow for a reduction in the number of accommodation units from 54 to 46, an increase in the number of dwelling units Jrom 3 to 4, and an increase in GRFA as shown in the table attached to this memorandum. The changes are proposed due to financing conslraints (the need to have additional revenue from the sale of a dwelling unit) and also the desire to construct larger accommodation units which the applicant states are more suitable for a first class boutique hotel. Additionally, the owner of a condominium on the fifth floor is proposing to add a dormer and 713 sq. ft. ol GRFA to their unit, The two applications are being considered jointly. Below is a summary ol the changes: Common Area: AUs: DUs: EHUs: There is a slight reduction in common area (52 sq. tt.) from the 1998 approval. The number of AUs is reduced to 46 units. The GRFA allocated to all AUs decreased approximately 10o/o or 2,337 sq. ft. Most of the existing accommodation units are approximately 300 sq. lt. Some new accommodation units are proposed at 500+ sq. ft. The number of DUs is being increased by one unit. The new proposed unit is approximately 3,700 sq. ft. in area. The number of EHUs remains the same at 4 units. The square footage allocated is being reduced by 39 sq. ft. The sizes range lrom220 sq. ft. to 350 sq. ft. The proposed changes to the building do not result in an amended footprint or modifications to the site plan. The previously approved site plan and conditions of approval are proposed to be carried forward. The building elevations are modified by the addition ol several dormers on the south and north'elevations of the building and the enclosure of areas that were previously balconies. The DRB will be required to review these changes to the building. Overall the changes are minor in terms of bulk and mass or impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed buifding continues to meet the definition of a lodge wift 64% of the GRFA devotsd to accommodalion units and 360lo devoted lo dwelling units. Reductions of the proposed floor plans are attached. In 1998 the applicant received approval to eliminate one dwelling unit and one accommodation unit and make other interior and exterior changes to the building. The '1 996 approval allowed for 55 accommodation units, 4 dwelling units, and 4 employee housing units. The 1993 approval allowed 52 accommodation units, 3 dwelling units, and 4 employee housing units. The existing development on the property contains 9 dwelling units, 28 accommodation units, and 4 employee housing units. II. STAFF FECOMMENDATION No recommendation is provided at this time as this is a worksession. III. AMENDMENTPROCEDURE The proposed changes described in Section I are considered to be Major Amendments to the 1993 approved SDD and subsequent amendments. As stated in the Zoning Code Section 12- 9A-2, a major amendment is defined as follows: "Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved Special Development District. . ." Since the applicant's proposed amendments to the SDD involve changes to gross residential floor area, as well as density (number of units), the proposal is required to follow the Major SDD Amendment procedure. The PEC shall provide a recommendation to the Town Council regarding the proposal. The Town Council may approve the proposal via two readings of an ordinance. IV. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRIGT CRITERTA As provided for in Section 12-9A-8 of the Town Code, there are nine SDD review criteria which are to be used to evaluate the merits of a proposed Major SDD Amendment. lt should be noted that the staff analysis of lhe projecl's compliance with the SDD review criteria has only focused on the proposed amendments to the SDD, and not on the balance of the 1993 or 1996 approvals. The review criteria, and the staff's analysis of the proposal's compliance with the review criteria, are as follows: A. D,esign compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adiacent properties relalive to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. B. Minimal architectural changes are proposed to the design of the building. The overall scale, and mass and bulk of the proposed structure will generally remain as it was approved in 1993 and subsequently amended. The primary roof forms (and building height) will also remain as approved in 1993, with the addition of several dormers. Staff does not believe these changes will significantly affect the bulk and scale of the building. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, etficient and workable relationship wilh surrounding uses and activity. The general uses within the redeveloped Vail Athlelic Club (VAC) are not proposed to change. The building continues to meet the definition of a lodge as more than 50o/" of the GRFA is devoted to accommodation units. The floor area additions are relatively minor with respect to the overall scope of the project with an increase of approximately 2.620/" from the 1998 approval or 2.78/" over frre 1996 approval. Gompliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Title 12, Ghaptel 10. Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the SDD are in compliance with this criteria. The Town's zoning requirement is for a total of 20 parking spaces to be provided on the site, which is based on the reduction in the number of accommodation units and the addition of a new dwelling unit. This proposal would reduce the number ol required parking spaces lrom22 to 20, however, the applicant is proposing to accommodate 22 parking spaces on-site. Contormity with applicable elements ot the Vail Gomprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans. VAIL LAND USE PLAN The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process for new or amended development proposals. The staff considered the following Land Use Plan Goals/Policies during the initial review of the 1993 SDD establishment for the Vail Athletic Club, and further, staff believes that these goals and policies continue to be applicable with regard to the cunent Major SDD Amendment proposal: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 4.2 Increased density in the core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character ol each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban c. D. Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 4.3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) Stalf believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the goals and policies ol the Land Use Plan as described above. VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN The staff believes that the 1993 approval for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club carried out many of the goals and objectives contained in the Vail Village Master Plan. Additionally, the staff believes that the cunent Major SDD Amendment proposal also furthers the following Master Plan's goals and objectives: Goal fl -Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. Obiective 1.2 - Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal f2 - To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. Obiective 2.3 - Increase the number of residential units available for short term overnight accommodations. Policv 2.3.1 - The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Hesidential units that are developed above existing density levels are required to be designed or managed in a manner that makes them available for short term overnight rental. Obiective 2.5 - Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better serve the needs ol our guests. Goal #5 - Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics ol the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. Policv 5.1 .5 - Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground or visually concealed parking. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the Vail Village Master Plan goals, objectives, and policies as described above. E. ldsntitication and mitigatlon of natural and/or geologic hazards that atfect the property on which the special development distrlct is proposed. Although this proiect is located adjacent to Gore Creek, no portion of the proposal 4 encroaches into the fifty-foot stream setback, nor into the '1o0-year floodplain. There are no other natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed lo ptoduce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Although this criteria was discussed extensively during the 1993 review, staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no negative impacts on this criteria. G. A circulation system designed lor both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site tratfic circulation. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recrealion, views and functions. Again, the staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. l. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and eificient relationshlp throughout the development of the special developmenl district. Phase I of the VAC redevelopment has been completed (Club Levels - lowest two floors). The balance of the redevelopment is considered Phase ll.

This space has been an eye sore since the trash building was remo/ed and because it is not landscaped as required The Town of Vail, illegal parking has been a continuous problem. I know that there have been abuses from occupants and sewice people from the Mountain Haus as well as from the Vail Athletic Glub. I really apprecialed you positive atitude and willingness to police this problem until we can get this area lendscaped. Since you are not going to be doing the projected oderior renovation lhis summer as planned, I volunteered to participate in the expense of landscaping this area.
