The meeting began late due to extended discussion during the study session. There were four people in attendance. There was a brief discussion regarding workforce housing. Comments included but were not limited to: we need to have a process, height measurement is important; height and workforce housing are two separate issues; workforce housing needs to be defined; desire to know what the overall housing strategy is before making a decision. 1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA It was moved and seconded (White/Murphree) to approve the agenda, with the revision of moving the proposed EVDC amendment regarding building height calculation before the proposed amendment regarding building height in the RM zone district and the motion passed 7-0. 2.

CONSENT AGENDA Approval of minutes, March 21, 2017 Planning Commission meeting. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Hull) to approve the consent agenda as presented and the motion passed 7-0. 4. FALL RIVER VILLAGE II, LOTS 5A OF THE AMENDED PLAT OF LOT 5, SUNNY ACRES ADDITION A. Development Plan 2017-02 B. Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) 2017-01 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 2 C. Rezoning Request for Lot 5A; RM-Multi-Family Residential to CO-Commercial Outlying D. Preliminary Condominium Map Planner Gonzales reviewed the staff report. The project is currently zoned CO–Commercial Outlying on the west side and includes a PUD overlay. The eastern portion is RM–Residential Multi-Family and developed with three duplexes. There is a rezoning request for the RM portion to be rezoned to CO to encompass the entire property into the PUD. The proposed Development Plan is to develop the existing vacant land with three duplexes, two triplexes, and a private community hall. When the existing three duplexes are combined into the PUD overlay, a total of 18 accommodations units will be available. There is also an amended plat application that is being reviewed at staff-level. Planner Gonzales stated the applicant met all the requirements in the review criteria; however, they requested several waivers, which are listed in the staff report. Planner Gonzales stated the application was routed to affected agencies, and no significant concerns were noted. Adjacent property owners were notified by mail, and a legal notice was published in the local newspaper. Staff and Commission Discussion There was brief discussion about the topography and parking spaces, and the proposed community hall. Public Comment Paul Pewterbaugh/owner stated the reason for the community center is to meet unmet demand for group gatherings (family reunions, business gatherings, weddings, special events, etc). It is meant to be a feature to bring up the quality of the entire facility. The community building will be acoustically fortified to keep the sound inside the building. The rooftop deck has an enclosed wall on the north side to keep noise to a minimum. Steve Lane/project architect stated all the new buildings will be in line with the other duplexes and triplexes (modern mountain architecture). There was additional discussion between the owner and the Commissioners about the development in general, including but not limited to: fencing, trails, emergency exit, occupancy load of community hall (approximately 100), catering kitchen, loading area, access for adjacent residential lots, community hall roof material (matte rust). Mr. Lane stated he is involved with the Downtown Plan, and this type of development is exactly what the plan is envisioning. Pat Newsom/town resident stated she lives nearby and provided a brief history of the project area. She was supportive of the community building, except for the roof line. Julia Daley/local resident was supportive of the development, and stated the property owner has a vision for making the west end of Elkhorn Avenue a better place. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 3 Greg Rosener/local resident was supportive of the project. Public comment closed. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Murphree) to approve the Fall River Village II Development Plan according to findings of fact and conclusions of law, with findings and conditions recommended by staff and the motion passed unanimously. It was moved and seconded (White/Schneider) to recommend approval to Town Board for the Fall River Village II Preliminary Condominium Map, Preliminary Planned Unit Development, and Rezoning according to findings of fact and conclusions of law, with findings recommended by staff and the motion passed unanimously. 5. AMENDMENT TO ESTES VALLEY DEVELPOMENT CODE REGARDING BUILDING HEIGHT CALCULATION FORMULA FOR ALL ZONE DISTIRCTS Director Hunt reviewed the staff report, stating the formula to calculate the building height on a sloped lot is complex and difficult to calculate. The proposed amendment would make the calculation very simple and easy to describe. It involved taking the average of the high and low points of the roof to create a horizontal plane. The same would be done for the finished floor elevation. A vertical line would be drawn between the two, which would be the determined building height. The proposed amendment would also revise the definition of “Grade, Finished”. Public Comment James Poppitz/town resident stated a clarified calculation will be appreciated. He attended the Housing Meeting the previous night, and was supportive of a higher height limit and three-story buildings in order to address local housing needs. Greg Rosener/town resident spoke on behalf the Economic Development Corporation and supported the change in the way height is calculated. Steve Lane/local architect supported the proposed amendment, stating it would benefit development on the Estes Valley’s steep slopes. Diane Muno/representative of Economic Development Corporation stated the Commissioners have been very thoughtful in their discussions today and she appreciates that. Many businesses, large and small, participated in the housing forum last night, and supported the proposed amendment. Public comment closed. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 4 Staff and Commission Discussion There was brief discussion regarding the current allowance of a maximum of 10% height adjustment by staff. With the proposed amendment, that administrative provision would be removed. Director Hunt stated he would bring forth a code amendment that would remove staff’s ability to authorize an administrative adjustment up to 10% in the current height limitation. As Community Development Director, he would not be approving any of those administrative adjustments. Height variance requests would go through the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment. It was moved and seconded (Schneider/Leavitt) to recommend approval to the Town Board of Trustees and the County Board of Commissioners the amendment to the EVDC as stated in Exhibit A, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code and the motion passed unanimously. 6. AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVLEPOMENT CODE REGARDING BUILDING HEIGHT IN THE RM–RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY ZONE DISTRICT Director Hunt reviewed the staff report and Exhibit B1. He stated the primary goal is to have the ability to construct a three-story building and accommodate a variety of roof styles in the RM zone district. The proposed amendment would set the height limit in the RM zone district at 38 feet, allowed only for multi-family dwellings (three or more units in a single structure). He explained the reason behind the proposed removal of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the near future. In many cases, FAR would prohibit three-story buildings in the RM zone district, which would defeat the purpose of increasing the height limit. Director Hunt stated the existing lot coverage maximum of 50% would be increased to 65%, which is a common percentage across the country. Director Hunt reviewed Exhibit B2, which adds an incentive-based alternative for developers of workforce housing in multi-family buildings. If 50% of the units’ occupants meet the criteria for workforce housing, a density bonus would be available. Director Hunt stated the Town Board has directed him to simplify the EVDC. It is hard to determine if we would get more or less workforce housing projects with either of these exhibits. Staff prefers simple, clear, and consistent code language. The community has a need for housing. The town can either grow up or out, and growing out is limited. He was supportive of three-story buildings in the RM zone district. Staff and Commission Discussion Commissioner White stated she visited the undeveloped sites in RM zone districts, and was supportive of the height increase. Commissioner Hull stated there were several three-story condominium complexes in the Estes Valley. She thought developers could build the same buildings within the existing 30-foot height limit and 10% administrative allowance. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 5 Rita Kurelja/EPHA director stated multi-family housing that is federally funded and administered by the Housing Authority cannot limit housing to workforce. The majority of the residents at Falcon Ridge work in the Estes Valley (41 out of 48 units). A density bonus would be allowed if they met the workforce criteria or the criteria for affordable housing. Additional discussion occurred with Ms. Kurelja regarding the housing situation, density bonus, and providing housing for the working class. Developers could utilize the density bonus if they met the workforce criteria or the income-qualifying criteria. Public Comment Greg Rosener/town resident was supportive of the 38-foot height limit. The density bonus (up to 16 units per acre) is directly tied to workforce or income-qualifying housing. Judy Nystrom/town resident recently spoke with a developer interested in building workforce housing. She was supportive of the 38-foot height limit, stating some of the height can be hidden by our topography. Jon Nicholas/president of EDC supported any efforts to provide workforce housing. The developer should have the flexibility to offer all types of housing (workforce, attainable, etc.). Public comment closed. Staff and Commission Discussion There was brief discussion regarding the density bonus. Staff met with several developers who were interested in housing projects if three-stories were allowed, as that would make it more economically feasible. The goal is to incentivize workforce housing, not new condominium developments for retirees. Planner Gonzales stated developers he has talked to are looking for workforce housing more than attainable housing. 16 units per acre seems to be the minimum density developers are looking for when determining economic feasibility. The majority of inquiring developers could not get the desired density without adding a third floor. Impervious lot coverage is also a large concern. Director Hunt stated he could create an Exhibit B3, which would be a combination of B1 and B2. Revisions could be made to Chapters 4 and 11. There was additional discussion as to how the code language proposed in an Exhibit B3 would read. There was general consensus to provide developers with incentives if building workforce housing. The Commission was not in favor of allowing the higher density for units that would be marketed to retirees or used for vacation rentals. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Murphree) to recommend approval to the Town Board of Trustees and County Board of Commissioners an amendment to the EVDC as stated in Exhibit B2 with the addition, in order to avoid conflicts that would be detrimental to the utilization of RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 6 that exhibit, of incorporating the density language from Exhibit B1, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code, and the motion passed 6-1 with Commissioner Hull voting against. 7. AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING DESIGN STANDARDS IN RM–RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY ZONE DISTRICT Director Hunt reviewed the staff report, stating Exhibit C deals with design standards for buildings with floors above thirty (30) feet in height in the RM zone district. The principal design standard proposed is the step-back feature, which requires floors above 30 feet to be stepped back ten horizontal feet from the building’s foundation or vertical wall at grade for building elevations that are adjacent to a dedicated public street, dedicated public trail, or dedicated public open space. In exchange for the increased height, we would preserve some of the ability to see the natural landscape and have more sunlight at the street level. Staff and Commission Discussion Director Hunt stated the step-back requirement may involve a reduction in one unit. As we continue Comprehensive Plan discussions, the step-back feature may be applicable in other areas as well, and not limited to just the RM zone district. Chair Moon was supportive of the provision to incorporate a variety of façades. Director Hunt gave credit to the City of Laramie and Planner Carrie McCool for the proposed code language. Public Comment None. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Murphree) to that the Town Board of Trustees and the County Board of Commissioners approve amending the Estes Valley Development Code as stated in Exhibit C, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code and the motion passed unanimously. 8. AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING SPECIAL REVIEW CRITERIA AND TO CATEGORIZE SPECIAL REVIEW PROJECTS ACCORDING TO INTENSITY Planner Gonzales reviewed the staff report. The objectives of the proposed code amendment are listed in the staff report. In 2016, a high-profile Special Review brought to light the impacts of “to the maximum extent feasible.” The proposed amendment is the culmination of several study session discussions and a joint meeting with Town Board and County Commission. The proposed amendment would classify Special Reviews by type. The decision-making body could be different, depending on the intensity of the development. Language in the Standards for Review was clarified, a list of specific review criteria will be addressed by the applicant, and the review and approval processes were shortened for many Special Review uses. Staff and Commission Discussion RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 7 There was brief discussion regarding some changes to the proposed amendment. There was general consensus to make the following changes: • Residential Family Home Daycare, Large – changed from S1 to S2; • Non-Residential Family Home Daycare, Large – changed from S1 to S2 in the A-1 zone district • Remove Section 3.5.B.4 – “Neighborhood compatibility” • Remove Section 3.5.B.9 – “Noxious odors” It was moved and seconded (Klink/Hull) to that the Town Board of Trustees and the County Board of Commissioners approve amending the Estes Valley Development Code as stated in Exhibit A and with the changes mentioned above, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code and the motion passed unanimously. 9. AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED PER LOT OF DEVELOPMENT Planner Becker reviewed the staff report. The objective of the proposed code amendment would eliminate the word ‘uses’ and replace it with ‘structures’, as legally allowable structures in the EVDC; provide a clear interpretation of what is allowed in residential zone districts in regard to how many dwellings can be allowed on one lot; and align the EVDC with the Water Division Standards to avoid conflicting departmental allowances. Public Comment None. Staff and Commission Discussion None. It was moved and seconded (Schneider/Hull) to that the Town Board of Trustees and the County Board of Commissioners approve amending the Estes Valley Development Code as stated in Exhibit A, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code and the motion passed unanimously. 10. AMENDMENT TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING REMOVAL OF PROVISION THAT CURRENTLY PROHIBITS NON-COMMERCIAL USE IN PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES Planner Becker reviewed the staff report. The objective of this proposed code amendment is to eliminate the word ‘Noncommercial’ in the definition of Park and Recreation Facilities (Section 13.2.C.34); and provide a clear interpretation of what is allowed. Planner Becker stated the definition is particularly confusing and problematic because it implies there are commercial parks RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission May 1 6, 2017 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 8 to be accounted for in the EVDC area. There are no designated commercial parts in the EVDC area. Public Comment None. Staff and Commission Discussion None. It was moved and seconded (Murphree/Klink) to that the Town Board of Trustees and the County Board of Commissioners approve amending the Estes Valley Development Code as stated in Exhibit A, finding that the amendment is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and with Section 3.3 of the Development Code and the motion passed unanimously. 11. REPORTS A. Chair Moon reported the rescheduled date for the Large Vacation Home Review meeting will be Friday, June 30, 2017. The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. in the Town Hall Board Room. B. Director Hunt reminded all Planning Commissioners to respond to the Downtown Plan Survey. C. Director Hunt stated the View @ 242 Preliminary Condominium Map was continued to the May Town Board Meeting, not “approved” as listed on today’s agenda. D. Director Hunt reported receiving permission to begin the hiring process for a Senior Planner. There being no further business, Chair Moon adjourned the meeting at 4:07 p.m. _________________________________ Michael Moon, Chair ___________________________________ Karen Thompson, Recording Secretary ESTES VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE & LOCATION: June 20, 2017, 1:30PM; Board Room, Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue APPLICANT REQUEST: Approval of Development Plan for the construction of 32 detached accommodations units and private recreational facility, recommendation for approval for the Preliminary Townhome Subdivision. Staff recommends conditional approval of the Development Plan and Preliminary Townhome Plat. PLANNING COMMISSION OBJECTIVE: 1. Review for compliance with the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) and Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan; and 2. Approve/Deny the proposed Development Plan and provide a recommendation for Approval/Denial of the Preliminary Plat LOCATION: 1700 Big Thompson Ave., Lot 1, Lake Estes Second Addition and Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition, within the Town of Estes Park VICINITY MAP: See attachment OWNER/APPLICANT: Rocky Mountain Hotel Properties I, LLC / Same as owner STAFF CONTACT: Audem Gonzales, Planner II PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Present Situation: The project area is located between Big Thompson Ave. and Lake Estes, just west of the Lake Estes Marina.

SITE DATA TABLE: Engineer: Cornerstone Engineering & Surveying Parcel Number: 2529213001 & 2529206001 Development Area: Approx. 9 acres Existing Land Use: Undeveloped western portion. Eastern portion contains The Estes Park Resort (56 units) Proposed Land Use: Develop the western portion with 32 detached accommodations units and private recreational facility.

Landscaping. The Development Plan meets landscape requirements for district buffering. 2. Wetlands. A Variance was granted in 2016 to establish a new setback for the two delineated wetlands on the southern portion of the site. EVDC Estes Valley Planning Commission, June 20, 2017 Page 3 of 7 Estes Park Resort requires 50-foot setbacks. The Variance established a 25-foot setback from each of the wetlands. The project proposal does not encroach into either of the 25-foot setbacks. 3. Public Trails/Sidewalks. An improved bike path currently runs south of the project area along Lake Estes. There is an existing privately controlled connection between the resort and the bike path via the resort building. The applicant initially proposed a sidewalk connection from the private recreational facility (pavilion) to the bike path but decided to remove it. Staff has not required an additional connection to the bike path. During the review process, the applicant updated the plans to reconfigure Lot 33 (containing the resort) to extend to the west via a strip of property less than 10-feet wide. Such strips are commonly known in the planning profession as “spite strips”. This term has also been used by the applicant to describe the strip in question. This strip of land would be between the lake and the western outlot containing the 32 units. Staff questioned this lot configuration with the applicant. The applicant stated the lot was designed as such to prevent outside people from coming onto the property and also from disposing of their refuse on the property. Planning staff mentioned these trespass concerns were an operations issue of the business/property and not a lot configuration issue. Staff pointed out that in Chapter 4 in Table 4-8 it states: “To the maximum extent feasible, provision shall be made in the design of developments for interconnections with existing or planned streets and pedestrian, bikeway or trail systems on adjoining properties”. Staff also pointed out that in Chapter 10.5.D. it states: “To the maximum extent feasible, all subdivisions shall provide pedestrian linkages including trails, to parks, schools, adjacent developments and existing and proposed hike and bike trail.” At this time, Staff has not required a pedestrian linkage to the bike trail along the lake but insists that the ability to provide a future connection to the trail be maintained through not allowing this “spite strip” configuration of Lot 33. The proposed configuration restricts access to the bike trail and lake. The outlot containing the 32 accommodations units may have individual ownerships (intended to do so per the Statement of Intent), so staff feels future residents of these units should not be denied access to the bike trail. The only access point currently proposed is the existing access through the resort building. Staff is not recommending approval of the proposed Lot 33 configuration and recommends that the Planning Commission make a condition that Lot 33 be redesigned to remove the proposed “spite strip”. 4. Water. There is an existing 8” water main running across the north of the property and a 6” main running internally to the property. There are 2 existing fire hydrants. Estes Valley Planning Commission, June 20, 2017 Page 4 of 7 Estes Park Resort The project proposing extending the 6” main to create a loop with the existing 8” main along the northern property line. The 8” main is proposed to extend north to connect to an existing Highway 34 crossing through the adjacent property. A public utility easement is required to do so. Staff recommends that this easement be established prior to recording the Final Plat and be referenced on the Final Plat. All proposed easements on the property for water mains are being dedicated on the Final Plat. All public infrastructure is required to provide a cost estimate sheet and financial securities before any final plans are finalized for recording or other permits granted. 5. Sewer. There is an existing 8” sewer main that runs internal to the property with another main running along the western property line. The proposal calls for extending the internal main along the north with two smaller main extensions from the west main line. Staff recommends that utility easements to tap into the western sewer main be established prior to recording the Final Plat and be referenced on the Final Plat. The western main is located on an adjacent property and requires easements through that property. All easements on the subject property will be dedicated with the Final Plat. 6. Fire Protection. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District has reviewed this proposal and has expressed no comments/concerns. Staff found two fire protection issues that need to be addressed. The emergency fire access point to the north of the property runs across the adjacent property. Staff recommends that an emergency fire access easement be established prior to recording the Final Plat and be referenced on the Final Plat. Also, the applicant has proposed a fire access lane and loading zone for the private recreational facility to be placed alongside the building to the north. This area is accessed via the existing parking lot. The Development Plan shows parking spaces where the fire lane and loading zone access the parking lot. Staff recommends that these parking spots be removed and the area be striped with “no parking”. This designation still leaves adequate parking on the remainder of the site. The fire access lane/loading zone shall also be included in the Development Agreement between Lot 33 and the western development. In the event that two properties change common ownership, easements shall be set in place for future access/use. 7. Wildlife Study. Per the submitted wildlife study performed by Darcy A. Tiglas, there are no identified state or federal endangered or threatened wildlife species found on the site and the possibility of occurrence is none to minimal. There are no identified federal or state endangered, threatened or sensitive plant species within the project area. Estes Valley Planning Commission, June 20, 2017 Page 5 of 7 Estes Park Resort 8. Stormwater. The proposed development is expected to increase stormwater discharge. The proposed drainage plan seeks to utilize the existing stormwater infrastructure where possible and minimize runoff by creating surface drainage patterns (grassed swales, buffers and detention ponds. The western half of the site will drain south toward the existing west culvert. The plan proposes installing an 18” pipe from the proposed detention pond that will connect into the existing 24” culvert (see Figure 1). Staff recommends a drainage easement for this 18” pipe as it is proposed to cross property boundaries. The eastern half of the site will continue to drain south. The runoff generated by the proposed development will be treated by a detention pond. Discharge from the pond will be piped underneath the parking lot through a proposed 18” pipe and into the existing 12” culvert outlet for the parking lot drainage basin. Staff recommends a drainage easement for this 18” pipe as it is proposed to cross property boundaries. 9. Traffic and Parking. A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared by Delich Associates Traffic & Transportation Engineering. The conclusion of the study was that no improvements are required along Big Thompson Avenue. Public Works agrees with this conclusion. The study was performed with calculations using both existing parking and proposed parking (total of 192 spaces). The project requires 180 parking spaces. The proposal provides 192 parking spaces. Subtracting parking spaces for the fire lane will still make the site parking compliant. Since the Townhome Subdivision consists of multiple lots, Staff has required a Development Agreement between Lot 33 (Estes Park Report) and the remaining townhome lots to address the shared parking situation. The majority of the 192 spaces are located on Lot 33 even though some of these spaces are required for the townhome lots/accommodations units. Staff is recommending a condition be placed on the Development Plan approval that the Development Agreement be approved in conjunction with recording of the Final Plat and list the agreements on the Final Townhome Subdivision plat map. 10. Access. Proposed Lot 33 (contains resort building) is accessed from Highway 34 via a 60-foot access easement. The 32 accommodations units/lots are proposed to have access through Lot 33. The applicant has provided a 20-foot access easement for Lots 2-32 across Lot 33. Staff Estes Valley Planning Commission, June 20, 2017 Page 6 of 7 Estes Park Resort recommends that Lot 1 be included in this access easement. Staff also recommends that documentation of access easement to existing Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition and existing Lot 1, Lake Estes Second Addition from Highway 34 be provided on Final Plat map. 11. Private Recreational Facility (Pavilion). The building is proposed to be 2,645 SF. It is located on Lot 33 with the loading area and fire lane located on the townhome outlout. See staff’s recommendation under item 6. Fire Protection. 12. Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Guidelines for the North End Area state that this planning area shall generally consist of low-density residential classifications with some commercial and accommodation uses identified along HWY 34. Future land use should be minimal within this planning area and the definition of lots, building envelopes, and access should take the natural features into consideration.

A CORNERSTpN May 18, 2017 Town of Estes Park Community Development P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, Co. 80517 RE: Estes Park Resort Preliminary Plat Mr. Randy Hunt, Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying, Inc. (CES), on behalf of the owners Rocky Mountain Hotel Properties I, LLC, is submitting a preliminary and final plat for 1700 Big Thompson Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado. Every attempt has been made to ensure the application meets the guidelines of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC). Legal Description Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition & Lot 1, Lake Estes Second Addition Existing Conditions Currently, Lot 1, Lake Estes Second Addition is occupied by the Lake Estes Lodge and associated parking. Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition is a vacant lot. The properties are accessed through the Lake Estes Marina utilizing and existing access easement from Big Thompson Ave (State Highway No. 34). The property is bounded by residential properties to the west (Zoned E-1 Estate). The property is bounded to the north by a combination of office/restaurant (Zoned CO-Commercial Outlying) and hotel properties (Zoned A-Accommodations). The property has an average slope of approximately 5% flowing towards Lake Estes. Wetlands Wetlands have been delineated on Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition. A variance to the 50-foot wetland setback was granted at the December 06, 2016 Board of Adjustment hearing. The variance request was for the following; Estes Valley Development Code 7.6.E.2.b "All buildings, accessory structures and parking lots shall be set back at least fifty (50) feet horizontally (plan view) from the delineated edge of a wetland. See Figure 7-10 above. Development on lots that were approved for single-family residential use prior to the adoption of this Code shall be exempt." Project Description In 2011 Rocky Mountain Hotel Properties I, LLC purchased the Lake Shore Lodge and the adjacent lot. The previous ownership was not able to make the hotel financially feasible because they had overbuilt the banquet, wedding and restaurant facilities in comparison to the guestrooms provided. The banquet and wedding facilities accommodate 200+ people but the hotel only has 54 guestrooms. Upon purchasing the hotel and Estes Park Restart, Preliminary Plot Page 2 of 3 May 18, 2017 land, our intent was to develop an 80-90 room hotel to alleviate the large shortage of guestrooms and stabilize the investment. We soon had developed concept plan for The Ledges Hotel (see attached). Once our concept had been developed, we began talking to our surrounding residential neighbors, businesses, and to the city planning department. It became abundantly clear that our surrounding neighbors were concerned about the impact our hotel project would have. While the planning department and others at the city were supportive of our concept, they encouraged us to work with the neighbors to alleviate as many of their concerns as possible. We furthered our discussions with the neighboring properties and the city and it was the overwhelming opinion that a high quality low density housing development would have the least amount of impact on the land, wildlife and existing properties, and would also provide housing which the Town of Estes desperately needs and would also raise property values for the neighboring residential development. We began exploring this concept to see if we could build a low density development with single family homes and townhomes that could not only provide housing to residents but also address The Estes Park Resorts' issue of a guestroom shortage. We found other new developments in Estes Park that have had success in doing this. In those new developments, we found that 30%-50% of the housing was purchased with the intent of it being the owners sole residents, and the remaining homes were purchased and used as vacation rentals. Using this information, we developed a low density concept of 32 townhome units. Each unit will be 1250 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths, laundry washer and dryer, fireplace, luxury interior finishes, exterior decks with Jacuzzi and barbecue area. Each unit will have attractive log exteriors with stone accents. The site plan will be an open site with very few roads, attractive landscape buffers to surrounding neighbors, and walking paths. Traffic and Parking A Traffic Impact Analysis has been prepared by Delich Associates Traffic & Transportation Engineering which has been included in this submittal. The conclusion states no improvements are required along Big Thompson Avenue. A parking study was performed with calculations of the existing parking required for the hotel and proposed parking required by the development. Overall, the developed property will require 180 parking spaces with the development proposing 192 spaces. A summary of the parking calculations is stated on the cover sheet. Utilities Water — Town of Estes Park An existing 8" water main borders the property to the north with a 6" main internal to the property. Two (2) fire hydrants currently exist on the 6" dead-end main. The proposed development will extend the 6" main to create a loop with the existing 8" along the northern property line. Additionally, an 8" main will be extended northerly to connect to an existing Highway No. 34 crossing. To service the westerly fire hydrant, an 8" dead-end main will be extended with service to the development being off this main. The development is proposing to install a single 3" meter pit to service the development. The property will be operated under a Home Owners Association with utilities being paid by the HOA. Easements will be granted for the proposed water mains. Sewer — Upper Thompson Sanitation District An 8" sewer main exists internal to the property with an additional main along the westerly property line. The internal main is proposed to be extended along the north with two smaller main extensions from the west. Easements will be granted for the proposed sewer mains. Estes Park Resort. Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3 May 18, 2017 Amended Plat The project will involve amending the existing plat of Lot 1, Lake Estes Second Addition and Lot 1, Lake Estes Addition. The amended plat will vacate the existing property line separating the two parcels and create individual townhome lots for the proposed resort. In addition, a lot will be created that will encompass the existing hotel, existing parking, proposed pavilion and additional open property. The open property is required in order to create a conforming lot per EVDC impervious coverage standards for townhome projects. EVDC §10.5.1-I.7.e.(3) states "Individual lots shall be limited to no more than eighty percent (80%) lot coverage." The open land is required to maintain the BO% maximum lot coverage. Impervious coverage is detailed on the cover sheet.

Code Amendment Objective: The objective of these proposed code amendments is to amend the EVDC to do the following: • Continue to reference appropriate and compatible landscaping standards for the Estes Valley; • Shift the list of preferred plantings itself out of the current species-specific listing in EVDC and into an administrative capacity; • Clarify certain ambiguous or contradictory language in the EVDC’s Landscaping section; • Incorporate 2017 updates and modifications to the Preferred Plant List itself, as recommended by the Parks Advisory Board and Parks staff. Staff recommends that Planning Commission recommends approval of the language in Exhibit A to the Town Board of Trustees and the Board of County Commissioners. Discussion: Currently the EVDC contains a “Preferred Plantings List” that’s used as guidance for new development proposals in the Valley. We don’t know how long we have had a Preferred Planting List in Code, nor is it clear the last time it was updated. Typically, our online Code maintenance service will indicate the last time a particular section or table was amended. No amendments are noted for the Preferred Planting List, so it is reasonable to assume that it was part of the 2000 EVDC and hasn’t changed since. June 20, 2017 EVPC (Written June 5, 2017) Page 2 of 4 In early 2017, members of the Parks Advisory Board (PAB) and Parks division staff in the Town’s Public Works Dept. undertook the task of updating and refining the List. This work was completed several months ago. The final list is attached, labeled the “ComDev Recommended Plant List”. Community Development Dept. staff met with the PAB and Parks staff on June 1, 2017. This good discussion result in several changes to an earlier draft of the Code language (Exhibit A). The final product is attached. The reason for the update seems intuitive. Seventeen years for the same landscaping recommendations seems to be a long time. Although new plant species aren’t invented every day, it’s not uncommon for landscaping professionals to update recommendations on mix of species, water requirements, amount of sun/shade, and other specifics. We also have external events from time to time that require revisiting recommended plant species. A good example right now is the growing threat posed by the Emerald Ash Borer. Unlike the Emerald City of Oz, the Ash Borer is not something you look forward to seeing. They are exotic beetles from Asia that got into the United States in Detroit around 2002, and have been chomping on ash trees in ever-widening circles ever since. The Emerald Ash Borer is in Boulder County. They have not shown up in Estes Valley, but they might – thus, the need to take their favorite local staple food off the Plat List (namely, the Green Ash). In early 2017, the Parks Advisory Board (PAB) and Parks division staff in the Town Public Works Dept. completed an update of the Preferred Plant List. Therefore, we would need to do a Code update in any case. This update need coincides with current Planning staff’s new approach to avoid perpetuating Code elements that are overly specific or rigid in ways that hamper creativity and alternative means of compliance. Putting a Planting List in the EVDC strongly implies that the species on the list and methods of care for them are the only ways one can comply with Code landscaping requirements. This is not the case with the Plantings List. It would be unfortunate to have the List interpreted to require that only included species be installed. Some problems with that include: Unavailability of certain specific species at some times of year; lack of ability to adapts to micro-climatic or micro-geotechnical needs; and the implication that a development site has to be scraped clean of all non-approved species. (There is also a built-in contradiction in making a “Preferred” list mandatory. Either it’s mandatory – i.e., required – or it’s preferred – i.e., optional. There’s no straightforward way to do both at the same time.) Most development Codes in the U.S. have gotten away from listing species in the Codes themselves. Nowadays, they are administrative lists that are specifically referenced in Code, but not included word-for-word. This approach has two advantages: (a) the list does not take on an overly rigid framework; and (b) the list can be updated by June 20, 2017 EVPC (Written June 5, 2017) Page 3 of 4 experts (Parks staff and the PAB, in our case) as events warrant, without going through the rather cumbersome Code amendment process each time. A few other changes are in this Code amendment: • The name is the List is changed to “ComDev Recommended Plant List”. This has the advantage of making it clear that the list has a relationship to the Community Development Department’s functions – e.g., development review and site planning. • A change is made to clarify that subsections 7.5.D.2 and 7.5.G.1 both require that “Important Wildlife Habitat” (as defined and regulated elsewhere in Code) should be restricted to native species on the List. Wildlife in many cases depend on food sources for which their nutritional needs and digestive systems are adapted. It is good public policy to get them to eat what Nature designed them for, instead of the critter equivalent of junk food. (Wildlife dentists and gastroenterologists are in short supply around here.) Staff Findings: The text amendments comply with EVDC §3.3.D (Code Amendments – Standards for Review). §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review “All rezoning and text amendments to the EVDC shall meet the following criteria:” 1. “The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the areas affected;” Staff Finding: The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the area affected. 2. “The development plan, which the proposed amendment to this Code would allow, is compatible and consistent with the policies and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with existing growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley:” Staff Finding: The proposed text amendments are compatible with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and advance community-wide policies. Additionally, the proposed amendments are consistent with growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley. 3. “The Town, County or other relevant service providers shall have the ability to provide adequate services and facilities that might be required if the application were approved.” Staff Finding: Providers of public water, sewage disposal, electric services, fire protection, and transportation services have expressed no concerns with the proposed amendments in principle. June 20, 2017 EVPC (Written June 5, 2017) Page 4 of 4 Advantages: • Complies with the EVDC §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review. • Advances the intent and community-wide policies set forth in the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. • Supports a goal of simplifying and providing flexibility and alternatives for compliance under the Code and regulations. • Allows for ease of regular updates to the Recommended Plant List. Disadvantages: • None. Action Recommended: Review the amendments for compliance with Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review and forward a recommendation to the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners for a final decision to approve. Level of Public Interest Low. Other than review and suggestions by members of the Parks Advisory Board and among staff, no input or public comment has been received. Sample Motion: APPROVAL I move to recommend that the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners APPROVE the text amendment to the Estes Valley Development Code as presented in Exhibit A as recommended by staff. CONTINUANCE I move to CONTINUE this agenda item to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting because…. (state reason(s) for continuance / findings).

Created By: Audem Gonzales Printed: 6/16/2017 IVEli, Zoning Districts COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Memo To: Estes Valley Planning Commission From: Carrie McCool, Planning Consultant Date: June 20, 2017 RE: Proposed Text Amendments to Estes Valley Development Code: EVDC § 4.3 Bed and Breakfast Inns Permitted by Special Review (Table 4-1: Permitted Uses: Residential Zoning Districts); and § 5.1 — Specific Use Standards for Bed and Breakfast Inns Planning Commission Objective: Review and recommendation on proposed text amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) to; 1) extend special review use review and approval procedures to Bed and Breakfast Inns in all residential zone districts and; 2) to restore specific use standards for Bed and Breakfast Inns. Code Amendment Objective: The objective of these proposed code amendments is to review the EVDC to do the following: • Allow Bed and Breakfast Inns to be permitted by special review in all residential zone districts. • Restore specific use standards that apply to Bed and Breakfast Inns to ensure compatibility with neighborhood character, compliance with existing business licensing requirements and to set forth an annual operating permit requirement. • Advance the intent and community-wide policies set forth in the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan relating to economics by supporting the tourism industry while preserving community character. • Support a unique blend of businesses, residents and visitors, without negatively affecting the natural beauty and character of Estes Valley residential neighborhoods. Proposal: Amend EVDC § 4.3 - Residential Zoning Districts B. Table 4-1: Permitted Uses: Residential Zoning Districts and § 5.1 — Specific Use Standards for Bed and Breakfast Inns as stated in Exhibit A ["PC Draft"], dated June 20, 2017, attached. Staff recommends that Planning Commission recommends approval of the language in Exhibit A to the Town Board of Trustees and the Board of County Commissioners. June 20, 2017 EVPC (Written June 5, 2017) Page 1 of 4 Discussion: Bed and Breakfast Inns (B&Bs) are appropriately classified as low-intensity accommodation uses in Table 4-1: Permitted Uses: Residential Zoning Districts of the EVDC. However, they are prohibited in all the residential zone districts except RM Multi-Family Residential and most recently recommended as S1 review in the R-2 Two- Family Residential zone district. B&Bs have become an integral part of the tourism industry as they offer an alternative to a hotel, motel or vacation home rental. Specifically, they offer a different experience for travelers than traditional forms of accommodation by providing a homelike ambiance and a personal level of attention, often in dwellings with unique decor, architecture, historical significance or natural beauty. An important feature distinguishing B&Bs from other forms of tourist accommodation is that the primary function of the property is a residence. Typically, they are located in dwelling units that are in residential neighborhoods so ensuring compatibility with the neighborhood is essential. While B&Bs contribute to local economies, they can raise issues concerning their potential impacts upon existing residential neighborhoods. Some of the concerns include the potential of increased traffic, parking, signage, noise, as well as other less quantifiable impacts that affect neighbors' perception of their neighborhoods. Considering the positive impacts that B&Bs could have on the Estes Valley economy coupled with the ability to mitigate any potential adverse impacts through the Special Review Use approval procedure, staff has brought forth these EVDC text amendments for the Planning Commissions' consideration. On May 16, 2016, the Planning Commission recommended approval of an amendment to the EVDC revising the criteria used to determine when a special review is required and to categorize special review projects according to intensity. This text amendment would allow B&Bs as uses permitted by special review in all residential zone districts as identified in Table 4-1: Permitted Uses: Residential Zoning Districts to be reviewed through the S1 procedure. The S1 review procedure will ensure that a Bed and Breakfast Inn is granted approval only for the specific Bed and Breakfast use approved at the specific site and any adverse impacts of the Bed and Breakfast Inn on a specific area/neighborhood is adequately addressed. It also provides the opportunity to deny the Bed and Breakfast Inn use if findings establish that concerns cannot be resolved. Lastly, the S1 review procedure (e.g., Board approval) will result in a smoother and more streamlined process for low-intensity accommodation uses like a Bed and Breakfast Inn by reducing the review time by approximately one month. In order to ensure compatibility with neighborhood character and conformance with business regulations and licenses, this amendment restores the specific use standards for B&Bs that were previously repealed when the Town Board and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners adopted regulations related to short-term vacation rentals on December 15, 2016, and later amended in March 2017. These specific use June 20, 2017 EVPC (Written June 5, 2017) Page 2 of 4 standards have worked well for the Estes Valley by setting forth annual operating permit and business license requirements, as well ensuring B&Bs are not designed or operated in a manner that is out of character with residential uses of a dwelling unit by one household. The proposed specific use standards for B&Bs are aligned with the short-term vacation rentals specific use standards and address neighborhood character, vehicular traffic, parking, occupancy, density, employee housing, attainable housing and accessory dwelling units. Lastly, they restore the restriction of B&Bs to be located on the ground floor of a building fronting on Elkhorn Avenue within the CD Downtown Commercial zoning district. Staff Findings of Fact: The text amendments comply with EVDC §3.3.D (Code Amendments — Standards for Review). §3.3.D Code Amendments, Standards for Review "All rezoning and text amendments to the EVDC shall meet the following criteria:" 1. "The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the areas affected;" Staff Finding: The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the area affected. 2. "The development plan, which the proposed amendment to this Code would allow, is compatible and consistent with the policies and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and with existing growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley:" Staff Finding: The proposed text amendments are compatible with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and advance community-wide policies related to economics by supporting the tourism industry and critical livability factors (e.g., quality of life, natural setting, community character, etc.) for residents. Additionally, the proposed amendments are consistent with growth and development patterns in the Estes Valley. 3. "The Town, County or other relevant service providers shall have the ability to provide adequate services and facilities that might be required if the application were approved."
