VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

ITEM/TOPIC:   Solar Vail Appeal (TC18-0002)

PRESENTER(S):   Chris Neubecker, Interim Director of Community Development

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   The Town Council is asked to review the application for the Solar Vail design review application, and determine if the requirements of the Vail Town Code, specifically Title 12, Zoning Regulations and Title 14, Chapter 10, Design Review Standards and Guidelines, were properly applied in the decision to deny a request to amend the design of the proposed Solar Vail Employee Housing development, located at 501 N. Frontage Road West / Lot 8, Block 2, Vail Potato Patch Filing 1.

BACKGROUND:   On June 20, 2018 the Vail Design Review Board voted 2-2 on a motion for approval. As a result of the failure to obtain a majority vote, the motion was denied. Design Review Board members voting against the motion cited a lack of compatibility on the building design, Section 14-10-2, General Compatibility.
