VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

ITEM/TOPIC:   Vail Local Housing Authority Out of Town Housing Policy

PRESENTER(S):   George Ruther, Housing Director

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Listen to presentation and direct staff on next steps. 

BACKGROUND:   The purpose of this agenda item is to forward the recommendation of the Vail Local Housing Authority on possible amendments to the Town’s adopted out of town housing mitigation policy.  This request is in specific reference to a policy amendment proposed which would allow developers to propose to meet inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage obligations out of the town for consideration. Vail Health has submitted a request to amend the Town's policy limiting mitigation methods for inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage to only in the Town of Vail.  The applicant believes circumstances have changed since the adoption of the policy which warrant further consideration.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:   The Vail Town Council to instruct the town staff to explore policy implementation options for further consideration.
