Town Board Direction Requested: 1. What role would you like the Town to play in encouraging and/or incentivizing additional (public and private) Electric Vehicle infrastructure in Estes Park? 2. How high of a priority should continuing this type of work be for PW staff in 2023, with the knowledge that additional resources and policy guidance could be coming in 2024? Present Situation: Staff across the Town organization are doing important work surrounding the transition to low- and zero-emission vehicles and equipment. Many of these activities are in support of goals and objectives outlined in the TB's strategic plan and/or were recommendations from the Environmental Sustainability Task Force (ESTF) Report in 2022. This presentation is focused on the work of PW (Mobility Services Division), Utilities (P&C) and PRPA in support of EV readiness planning for Estes Park, specifically: • PW staff implementation of the EV Infrastructure and Readiness Plan, adopted by the TB in early 2021 . • P&C staff work on the transition to electrification, including energy efficiency, load responsiveness, incentives for public charging infrastructure, and fleet advising. Page 3 • PRPA's efforts to identify where additional EV charging stations will be needed in their member communities. For PW staff, the current challenge is the absence of Town-wide, guiding public policy and/or climate commitment goals that elevate EV readiness planning as a top priority for limited staff capacity. Many of the activities described in this report have been driven by staff who believe they are doing the "right thing" with regard to environmental and resource stewardship. The 2021 ESTF report helped add citizen-driven support for this staff-level work; however, conversations are still ongoing at the TB level about what future financial and/or staff resources will be committed to work focused on environmental sustainability, alternative fuel readiness planning, and other recommendations outlined in the ESTF Report. Proposal: PW staff request TB guidance on the role the Town should play in encouraging and/or incentivizing additional (public and private) EV infrastructure in Estes Park. If the TB wishes to take an active role, PW staff could work with P&C and PRPA to develop a Town policy for consideration at a later date. PW staff recommend scheduling additional TB Study Sessions with other divisions/departments related to ongoing work focused on environmental sustainability and alternative fuel readiness planning. The purpose of these additional reports would be to help inform the 2024 TB strategic planning and budget appropriation process. Advantages: • Investment in EV readiness planning will help position the Town well to respond effectively to changing Federal and State mandates related to the transition to low- and zero-emission vehicles and equipment. • EV readiness planning efforts are supported by the 2023 TB Strategic Plan, 2024 Provisional Strategic Plan, and ESTF Report. Disadvantages: • Without the benefit of Town-wide, guiding policy like a Climate Commitment, there is the risk that work will be done by various Town departments and divisions in a siloed and uncoordinated manner; however, staff could continue to use existing strategic planning documents to guide their work. Finance/Resource Impact: There is no current finance/resource impact beyond the investment of staff time. Level of Public Interest Public interest in this item is likely moderate. Attachments: 1.

How much of a priority should continuing this type of work be for Public Works staff in 2023? 4 [P Page 12 A EP TOWN OF ESTES PARI Memo Community Development To: Honorable Mayor Koenig Board of Trustees Through: Town Administrator Machalek From: Kara Washam, Planner I Date: May 23, 2023 RE: Seasonal RV Housing on Commercial Sites Purpose of Study Session Item: Provide a high-level overview of a proposed pilot program that will allow temporary seasonal permits for Recreational Vehicles (RV), or similar, to park on private commercial property for the purpose of providing temporary housing for the seasonal workforce in Estes Park. Background: Community Development is exploring ways to help alleviate the seasonal workforce housing shortage, especially during the summer. The 2023 Housing Needs Assessment, conducted by Root Policy Research, estimates a need of 132 additional units to accommodate the seasonal workforce (Section III, Page 20). Other mountain communities struggling to house the workforce have allowed temporary RV parking on private or public parking lots for a limited duration of time for seasonal workers. The City of Ouray and the Town of Crested Butte have both implemented successful pilot programs (Attachments 2-5), the latter of which will be extending the program as a temporary use by right in their code update. Planning staff met with other Town departments and external agencies on April 27, 2023 to discuss the proposed pilot program, ask questions, and gather feedback. Attendees included staff from the Building Division, Public Works, Parking/Transit, Utilities, Police Department, both Sanitation Districts, Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Estes Park Economic Development Corporation, and Estes Chamber of Commerce. Most attendees were in favor of developing and implementing a pilot program, and there were a number of technical and logistical issues that require additional data gathering. An abbreviated list includes how utilities will be provided to the RV dweller, if the program should be considered at all commercial sites regardless of zoning district, and specific parking requirements. A full list of discussion topics is provided (Attachment 1). Town Board Direction Requested: Staff requests guidance from the Board to draft a pilot program for seasonal RV workforce housing, to be implemented during the 2024 season. Several topics need to Page 13 be addressed, including application requirements, types of vehicles permitted, administration of permits, code compliance, and code of conduct between the business owner and employee. Proposal: Staff proposes to design and implement a pilot program to issue temporary permits for seasonal RV workforce housing on commercial sites to run concurrent with the 2024 parking season. If the Board of Trustees would like to proceed with the pilot, staff will bring a draft ordinance for consideration to a future Board meeting. Advantages: • Allowing seasonal RV housing on commercial sites could help to temporarily alleviate the workforce housing shortage. • Allowing seasonal RV housing on commercial sites could help business owners recruit and retain workers during the summer season. • Survey results gathered for the 2023 HNA show that 3% of seasonal workers indicated living in their car, camper, or RV (Section IV, Page 15). Implementing a permitting process could reduce the number of unauthorized temporary RV dwellers in Estes Park, making it easier for Code Enforcement to monitor and safer for RV dwellers. • This program would have a relatively low impact on Town infrastructure, utilities, and other services. • By implementing this program as a pilot, the Board could choose to discontinue the program after the 2024 season if is unsuccessful or underutilized. Disadvantages: • Code compliance for RV parking could create additional strain on the Police Department, as there is currently only one Code Enforcement officer. • RV users could be vulnerable to property crime and other safety concerns. • Providing utility services to RV users as part of the permit could be challenging because the Town does not operate the Sanitation Districts. • Not all businesses would be eligible to offer this program to employees due to parking availability and site conditions. Finance/Resource Impact: N/A Level of Public Interest Low Page 14 Attachments 1. Discussion Points 2. City of Ouray Program Regulations 3. City of Ouray Permit Application 4. Town of Crested Butte Program Regulations 5. Town of Crested Butte Permit Application Page 15 Attachment 1 A EP TOWN OF ESTES PARI Discussion Points Community Development 1. What types of "transit mobile homes" should be allowed in addition to RVs? a. What about car camping, such as converted camper vans or truck campers? Must the RV/camper have cooking/hygiene facilities? b. RV Definition (borrowed from City of Ouray): Recreational Vehicle (RV) means a vehicular or portable unit mounted on a chassis and wheels, which either has its own motive power or is mounted on or drawn by another vehicle, such as travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers, camping trailers, motor homes, or truck campers which may be used as a temporary dwelling or sleeping place for work force housing staff. 2. Should the program only be allowed commercial zones (CD and CO)? a. Should it also be allowed in accommodations and office zones, as long as it is a business and not residential use? 3. Should the temporary period match the parking permit season (May to October?) a. Should the permit season start 1 week before the parking season starts and end 1 week after? This would allow the employee time to get settled before the busy season starts and pack up after it ends. 4. Should the permit be a joint application between the employee/RV user and the business manager/property owner? 5. No transferral of permit allowed? a. If the property owner wishes to transfer the permit from a previous occupant to a new occupant, a new application must be submitted. 6. Should the permit application include a Code of Conduct, outlining the responsibilities for both the RV user and the property owner? a. Revocation for falsifying information on application, including employment b. Code compliance? i. RV in state of disrepair, public nuisance, or neighborhood disturbance. c. The program should not be used as a paid lease. Employers should not be permitted to charge employees rent. The program should be considered mutually beneficial to the business owner and the employee. Page 16 d. Can the property owner discontinue at will or must they honor the lease, unless for cause? i. If employment is terminated, should the employer have the right to rescind the permit? If so, should they be required to notify the Town immediately? 7. Permit Application Requirements: a. Community Development should administer the permits. b. Application fee ($50?) + permit fee? c. Should the permit fee be weekly, monthly, or for entire season only? d. Should the application fee include the cost for inspection or is that an additional fee? e. Should the permit fee cover the cost of Town utilities or would the business owner provide those services? i. Concerns for utilities since the Town does not control all utilities (sanitation districts are not run by the Town). f. Permit shall be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle. g. EPPD should have a copy of the permit. This will aid in code enforcement and to protect the RV users, who may be vulnerable to break-ins. 8. What are the Conditions of Approval? a. Proof of employment in the Estes Park Town Limits b. Site Plan showing parking location, existing conditions, fire access, and access to utilities i. The application will be sent out for referral to Planning, Building, Public Works, Parking/Transit, Utilities, Sanitation Districts, and Police Dept. ii. Should there be screening requirements? Must be parked behind the establishment? iii. Would the EPDC zoning district setbacks apply? 9. Parking requirements: a. RVs must be parked in designated parking spots, on private property, in compliance with the property's approved site plan. RVs may not be parked in public property, including public parking lots or the public right-of-way. b. Must the spots be paved? What about dirt or gravel? c. Should there be limits per parcel? Should there be a seasonal cap on the total number of permits issued? Page 17 Attachment 2 CITY OF OURAY TEMPORARY RV WORK FORCE HOUSING PERMIT PROGRAM DEFINITIONS. A.

Staff requests guidance from the Board of Trustees to draft a pilot program to be implemented during the 2024 season. If the Board would like to proceed with the pilot, staff will bring a draft ordinance for consideration to a future Board meeting. 2 Page 30 5/24/2023 Background Community Development is exploring ways to help alleviate the seasonal workforce housing shortage. 2023 Housing Needs Assessment estimates a need of 132 units to accommodate the seasonal workforce. Other mountain communities have allowed temporary RV parking on private or public parking lots for a limited duration of time for seasonal workers. • The City of Ouray, Town of Crested Butte, and Summit County ("Unsheltered in Summit" Program) April 27, 2023 Planning staff met with other Town departments and external agencies to discuss the proposed pilot program, ask questions, and gather feedback. Most attendees were in favor of developing and implementing a pilot program.Attendees included staff from: • Building Division • Utilities • EVFPD • Public Works • UTSD& EPSD • Estes Park EDC • Parking/Transit • EPPD • Estes Chamber of Commerce 3 Staff Proposal Staff proposes to design and implement a pilot program to issue temporary permits for seasonal RV workforce housing on commercial sites to run concurrently with the 2024 parking season. Advantages • Temporarily alleviate the seasonal workforce housing shortage. • Help business owners recruit and retain workers. • Reduce number of unauthorized temporary RV dwellers. • Relatively low impact on Town infrastructure, utilities, and other services. • Could be discontinued after the 2024 season, if unsuccessful or underutilized. Disadvantages • Enforcement could create additional strain on the Police Department. • RV users could be vulnerable to property crime and other safety concerns. • Providing utility services to RV users could be challenging. • Not all businesses would be eligible to offer this program to employees. 4 Page 31 5/24/2023 Discussion Points 1 .

EPHA to hold and spend money under the broad guidance of the Funding Plan. EPHA to hold funds in reserve if not spent within the year. Intend to confirm this in the Funding Plan. 3 Proposed Elements of IGA, cont'd EPHA may use the property acquisition, renovation, and maintenance funds for EPHA-owned properties as it sees fit. Before distributing funds to other recipients and property owners as part of a program, EPHA would present the proposed program policy to the Town Board. The Town Board may disapprove of the program or aspects of it, in which case EPHA would revise the program policy until the Board accepts it. 4 Page 34 Proposed Elements of IGA, cont'd 5/17/2023 ❖The Town may designate a Town Board liaison to the Housing Authority, and may also have Town staff attend EPHA board meetings. EPHA would notify the Town of upcoming meetings similarly to how it notifies its board members. 5 Proposed Elements of IGA, cont'd ❖Audits: EPHA would be required to conduct regular audits, as it already does under other protocols. ❖The Town would be able to require EPHA to return unspent, unobligated funds in the Towns discretion if the Town determines that the funds are being mismanaged or used poorly. Subject to TABOR. 6 Page 35 5/17/2023 Proposed Elements of IGA, cont'd If there are any ambiguities in the Funding Plan or other guiding documents, or the Town and EPHA disagree on any interpretation, the Town reserves the right to make the final determination. 7 Questions a Discussion AP" Page 36 ___, A EP , ® TOWN of ESTES PARK Future Town Board Study Session Agenda Items May 23, 2023 June 13, 2023 Items Approved — Unscheduled: • Planning Fee Schedule • Bed & Breakfast Code Update • Governing Policies Updates June 27, 2023 • Stanley Park Master Plan • Proposition 123 Introduction Implementation • Downtown Loop Updates as Necessary Items for Town Board Consideration: None Page 37 i� f
