Applicant: Larkspur ReslaurantPlanner: Brent Wilson il. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The Larkspur Restauranl, represented by Nancy Sweeney, is requesting approval for a third business identification sign to be located on the north fagade of the Golden Peak Ski Base (GPSB). Section 11-48-19-B(4), Vail Town Code allows "one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the business abuts, as determined by the Administrator, with a maximum of two (2) signs, subject to design review." The applicant's description of lhe variance request is attached for reference. Pursuant to the Vail Town Code, a business identification sign is intended: To identify a busrness or organization which has its own exterior public entrance within a multi4enant building. The identification sign or signs for a business or organization may include the name of the business or organization and the general nature of the business conducted within or upon the premises. ln no instance, however, shall the total portion of the sign describing the general nature of the business exceed forty percent (40%) of the total area of each sign permitted for this purpose. The descriptian of the general nature of the business shall be incorporated into the sign or sign identifying the name of the business and should not exist as a separate sign. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is resoonsible for evaluatinq a proposal for: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to olher exisling or potential uses and struclures in the vicinity. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compalibiiity and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or lo attain the objectives of this Title without grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribulion of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 4. Such other factors ano criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed vanance. Desiqn Review Board: Action: The DRB has NO review authority on a variance, but must review any accompanying D RB application. The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings inlo landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site which respects lhe topography - Removal/Preservalion of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on-site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptabilily of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory struclures - Circulation and access to a site including parking, and site dislances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the criteria outlined in Section lV of this memorandum, the Community Development Department staff recommends denial of the variance request to allow for a third business identification sign, located al 458 Vail Valley Drive (Larkspur Restauranl)/Tract F, Vail Village 5'n Filing, based on the lollowing findings: 1. That the variance applied for departs from the provisions of the Vail Town Code more than is required to identify the applicant's business. Other viable signage options exist within the provisions of lhe sign code which have nol been pursued. lv. A. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION -SIGN VARIANCE Consideration of factors: 1. There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matters on adiacent lots or within the adjacent right-of-way, which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question, provided, however, that such special circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprise to which the applicant desires to draw attention, and do not apply generally to all business or enterprises. Staff believes the Golden Peak Ski Base is unique in that il conlains two frontages along a major vehicular/pedestrian way and direct access to a major ski portal. The Larkspur restauranl has access to the north, south and east sides of the property via a shared enlrance to Golden Peak. Given the significant setback from Vail Valley Drive and the lack of illumination of the GPSB entrance (due to concerns from residential owners within the property), staff believes unusual circumstances at this location presenl some difficulty for the applicant. However, staff believes these special circumstances could be addressed within the provisions of the town's sign code. There are mulliple options for additional signage at this location that do not require a variance. 2. That such special circumstances were not created by the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. Staff does not believe these circumstances were created by the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. 3. That granting of the variance will be in general harmony with the puryose of the sign code, and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. Staff believes the design aesthetics of the signage proposed are consistent with the approved Golden Peak Ski Base Sign Program and that the design would not negatively impacl any of the above-referenced persons or property. However, staff believes the size of the signage should be consistent with the signage for other ancillary uses ("Wreck Room Pizza," "Snowell Rentals") and should be subordinate in size/location lo the buildino identification sions for lhe GPSB. 4.The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of the Sign Code any more than is required to identify the applicant's business use. Although staff agrees that the applicant has a need to display signage along lhe Vail Valley Drive (north facing) frontage, staff believes this goal could be achieved without a variance. There are currently two (wall) business identification signs for the Larkspur Reslaurant on the south faqade of the building. Additional types of signage (menu boards, daily special boards) are available to identify the reslaurant on the south fagade and this would allow for a transfer of the existing southern wall signage to the north fagade. This could be achieved via staff approval. Additionally, since the Larkspur Market operates in a separate space under a separate business license, the code would allow an additional sign wilh the phrase "Larkspur" or "Larkspur Markel" to be placed on the north fagade without a variance. However, a third business identification sign for the restaurant space requires a variance. The Plannino and Environmental Commission shall make the followino tindinos before qrantino a variance: .l . That special circumslances or conditions apply to the land, building, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matlers on adjacent lots or within the right-of-way, which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign. 2. That such special circumstances were not created by the applicant 3. That granting the variance will be in general harmony with the purpose of this title and will not be detrimental to the public health, safely or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinily. 4. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of the Vall Town Code more than is required to identify the applicant's business use. B. (L) larkspur June 9, 2000 Planning and Environmental Commission Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Variance to the Town of VailSignage Gode Dear Members of the Board, Larkspur Restaurant and Market is requesting a variance to the signage code allowing for a third business identification sign to be installed on the North side of the Golden Peak Lodge facing VailValley Drive. Presently, Larkspur has two identification signs on the South side of the building. One sign is installed directly over the entrance to the restaurant, facing the Town of Vail bus stop and Children's Ski School parking lot. The second sign is installed on the side of the building facing Chairs 6 and 12. Considering the three-sided nature of the Golden Peak Lodge, we are hoping the Planning and Environmental Commission will make an exception to the existing code. The signs would be constructed of individual steel-cut letters powder coated black and mounted on a support beam inserted into the stucco fagade of the building. The sign would be consistent with all of the existing signage for the Golden Peak Lodge. Two MR-l6lights would be mounted in each comer of the support beam, illuminating the wall behind the letters with a soft glow. Larkspur's designated parking is on the North side of the Golden Peak Lodge. We have contracted with a Valet service to manage this parking during peak seasons. Presently, guests approaching Golden Peak Lodge on VailValley Drive have no indication the restaurant is within the building nor that they have arrived at their destination. Due to the significant setback of the Golden Peak Lodge from the road, it is difficult for customers to see the main entrance, which is not illuminated. Needless to say, our guests are irritated by the time they arrive at the restaurant due to the difficulty they experienced trying to find the establishment. : .:r:-,'i:i ,,';1 t.i ',r''i ii ii.::,: Golden Peak Lodge 458 Vail Valley Drive Vail, CO 970,479.8050 Market 970.479.8055 Fax 970.479.805/ 'li l!Si:L'r3rl a i:. -i 'i!
