5. Public Hearings
5.1. Ordinance No. 24, Series of 2018, Second Reading, An Ordinance Amending
Section 12-23-2, Employee Generation and Mitigation Rates, Vail Town Code, to
Amend the Example Employee Housing Unit Calculation.
Presenter(s): Ashley Clark, Planner
Action Requested of Council: The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications,
or deny Ordinance No. 24, Series of 2018, upon second reading.
Background: On October 3, 2017, the Vail Town Council adopted amendments to Section 12-
23-2, Employee Generation and Mitigation Rates, Vail Town Code, which established revised
Employee Generation Rates by Type of Commercial Use. These changes included an increase
in the number of employees per 1,000 feet of new net floor area for an eating and drinking
establishment from 6.75 employees to 10.2 employees. In response to this change, a
preexisting example provided in Section 12-23-2C must also be updated in order to be
consistent with the changes made in 2017. There is no material change proposed to the existing
policy. This ordinance will fix an error in the Town Code
Staff Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends that the Vail
Town Council approve Ordinance No. 24, Series of 2018.
Moffet confirmed there were no changes since first reading. Moffet made a motion to approve
Ordinance No. 24, Series of 2018; Coggin seconded and the motion passed (7-0).
5.2. Ordinance No.1, Series of 2019, An Ordinance Authorizing the Sale of Certain Real
Property in the Chamonix Vail Development to STK, LLC for $875,000
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director
Action Requested of Council: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 1,
Series of 2019 upon first reading
Background: In 2017, the Vail Town Council authorized the development of the Chamonix Vail
Neighborhood in West Vail. Upon doing so, to maintain affordability of construction, a portion of
the development site was reserved for future residential development. That portion of the site is
legally described as Parcel D, of the Chamonix Vail Community plat. Upon completion of a real
estate appraisal, the Vail Town Council authorized the town staff to submit the appropriate
development application for review to facilitate the creation of Parcel E in preparation for a
future sale. Parcel E is comprised of Parcel D and a small portion of Parcel A. A determination
was made that it is more cost effective for the town to sell the property rather than attempting to
build affordably on the site. The terms of the sale, however, do require the future development
of at least one deed -restricted home on the site. The Town of Vail has received a contract to
purchase the property which includes a full price offer, and all other terms required by the Vail
Town Council.
Matt Mire, Town Attorney, explained that at this time that Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2019 was
removed from the agenda.
