Legal description
Lot 42, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Current zoning
Industrial Commercial (IC)
Proposed zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 12 unit multi-family residential
Address
0690 Nottingham Road
Introduction
Cordevco, hired by Vail Resorts, is proposing to build a 12-unit deed restricted employee housing project. The site is currently zoned Industrial Commercial (IC) and would require a
rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow the residential use. The project would consist of ten 2 bedroom units (approximately 1,000 square feet each) and two 1 bedroom units
(approximately 700 square feet each). Vail Resorts intends for this project to provide a portion of the employee housing units required by the recently approved Lot C and Confluence
PUDs.
The lot faces south, rising up from Nottingham Road. It is relatively steep, with slopes between 18% to 25%. It is boarded by Beacon Hill and Bristol Pines condominiums on the east and
Tract B to the west.
Process Summary
Review of this application involves a two-step process - rezoning and establishment of a PUD. Rezoning is necessary to rezone the parcel from its current zoning to Planned Unit Development
(PUD). The PUD review process establishes PUD Development Standards and the PUD Development Plan.
For any proposed Rezoning or PUD, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall conduct an initial formal hearing comprised of a public hearing and Commission review. A report of the Commission
stating its findings and recommendations along with the staff report shall then be transmitted to the Town Council.
Any Rezoning or PUD Development Plan requires approval by ordinance of the Town Council. The Council shall, after receiving the report and recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission,
hold a public hearing and act upon the proposed project. Following the required hearing, the Town Council shall consider the comments and evidence presented
at the hearing and evaluate the application and approve, approve with conditions or deny the application in whole or in part.
