MV 7 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

he Town of Mountain Village is unique Tin so many ways: its unbelievable high alpine setting with a high concentration of peaks over 12,000 feet in elevation; its system of gondolas; and its close proximity to ski trails and golf fairways, to name a few. There is truly no other place like it. But it is perhaps Mountain Village’s brief history and how quickly the town has risen to become one of the world’s top resort destinations that distinguish it the most from other resort communities. A decade later, it was evident that Mountain Village In 1968, entrepreneur Joe Zoline began was no longer just a “company town” supporting the to assemble the land needed to build a world class ski resort including Gorrono and development of a world-class resort Ranch and Adams Ranch.

MV 13 MOUNTAIN VILLAGE VISION The Community’s Vision for the Future

MV 14 esidents and visitors of Mountain RVillage have high expectations for the future, and the town must continue to make great strides to keep pace with such expectations. To identify those expectations — the community’s values and visions to help form the foundation of the Comprehensive Plan — the town conducted an extensive eight-month visioning process that included two public workshops and monthly Task Force meetings. The outcome of these efforts was a set of Vision Statements — universal Vision Statements and element- specific Vision Statements related to a number of community matters like land use and the local economy. In addition, the Vision Statements convey the community’s priorities for preserving what makes Mountain Village unique and desirable while improving and evolving in order to remain a top resort destination and outstanding place to live.

A key premise behind the visioning process was to broadly envision a future that is sustainably balanced. In that regard, while most of the following Vision Statements are complementary of one another, sometimes they are conflicting. Such conflicts are simply indicative of the complexities involved in achieving balanced solutions. Lastly, the Vision Statements provide the basis for the Land Use Plan, Subarea Plans, and their associated principles, policies and actions.

Intentionally, all Vision Statements are written in present tense.

MV 15 UNIVERSAL VISION STATEMENT Mountain Village is a vibrant, healthy town that provides a high quality of life and experiences for full-time and part-time residents and visitors. This is achieved through a sustainable year-round economy, a diversity of housing choices, world-class recreation, environmental stewardship, excellent community services, and well-built and well-designed infrastructure.

MV 16 LOCAL ECONOMY VISION 1. Mountain Village has a strong, sustainable year-round economy, supporting the infrastructure and the needs, values and quality of life of the community. A diverse, yet connected, economy supports a sustainable tourism economy which attracts visitors and full-time and part-time residents who feel connected and committed to experiencing Mountain Village’s lifestyle, sense-of- community and natural features.

2. A diverse, year-round economy provides adequate and competitive living wages and year- round employment opportunities consistent with the character of Mountain Village.

3. Mountain Village Center is a vibrant commercial and social center, serving the needs of full-time and part-time residents and visitors.

4. A sufficient and sustainable resort bed base supports a year-round economy while maintaining the qualities of Mountain Village that make it both a desirable resort to visit and a desirable place to live.

5. Mountain Village achieves economic prosperity through wise stewardship of its natural resources.

DEED RESTRICTED HOUSING VISION 1. A broad spectrum of affordable, high quality housing (rental and for-sale) is essential to Mountain Village and diversifies the local economy. The development of deed restricted housing is provided, supported and sustained by the entire region, not just Mountain Village.

2. An appropriate supply of safe, diverse, attractive, affordable, sustainable and attainable housing is available for people who work in Mountain Village and have a desire to live within its boundaries.

A system of open space creates attractive buffers between the built and natural environments and gives context to the built environment. Together, open space conservation and recreation contribute to the quality of life and a robust economy in Mountain Village.

2. Development is consistent with the physical limitations of the land in Mountain Village. Full-time and part-time residents and visitors have access to year-round, sustainable recreation facilities, community parks for active recreation, and a trail system that connects people with neighborhoods, activity centers and recreational activities.

MV 21 TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING VISION 1. Mountain Village has a low-impact, environmentally friendly transportation system that provides safe, convenient travel options for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists to the ski area facilities, parking facilities, commercial centers, and throughout Mountain Village and the region. The gondola remains an important transportation link to Telluride.

2. Adequate parking is available for visitors, businesses and full-time and part-time residents without detracting from the community character of Mountain Village and the resort.

MV 43 MV 44 PRESERVING THE SKIER EXPERIENCE

aims to respect and protect key viewsheds, preserve open lands and recreational buffers, and maintain the town’s high level of ski-in/ski-out properties. Nothing would take away more from the skier experience than overcrowding development where it doesn’t belong and not requiring the necessary ski area improvements.

The Comprehensive Plan also seems to enhance the off-mountain skier experience by providing a new level of vibrancy to Mountain Village Center and other higher density areas. Doing so is a delicate balancing act between providing for more economic activity – lodging, shopping, dining, entertainment and recreational opportunities – and protecting the overall peacefulness for which Mountain Village is known.

At the time of Comprehensive Plan adoption, the ski area’s approved United States Forest Service Record of Decision allows 10,000 people at one time (PAOT) on the mountain. As specific areas densify, as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, and the town’s lodging occupancy increases during ski season, more research will be needed to ensure that the resort does not become overcrowded during peak days. TSG has clearly stated their commitment to taking the necessary steps to ensure their customers continue to enjoy short lift lines and uncrowded he Telluride Region has many other runs. In fact, TSG is simultaneously Tenviable qualities, but it is the skier updating their own master plan in 2011 experience that will continue to draw for the ongoing improvements that would people to Mountain Village and the be required to increase both uphill Telluride Region from all over the planet. carrying capacity of lifts and expansion of In crafting the Mountain Village skiable terrain.

*Target dorm units are calculated by multiplying the number of hotbed units by 10% to determine the number of employees required to be provided dorm housing. The resultant number of employees is then multiplied by 250 square feet per employee to determine the total floor area in dorm units.

MV 91 Amendment to comp plan:

Amend paragraph 13 on page 59 of the Comprehensive Plan shall be amended as follows:

"13. Parcel M (a part of OS IAR-3 and Lot 30)

a. The flagship hotel, flag hotel operator and flag hotel site designations may apply at the discretion of Town Council after receiving a recommendation from the Design Review Board, should Parcel M be developed as a single parcel (Lot 30 and .419 acres of OS lAR-3); however, if Lot 30 is developed independently then the flagship hotel, flag hotel operator and flat hotel site designations shall not apply. Town Council may consider other measures such as timeshares, fractional sales, condominium-hotel, front desk and amenity spaces for administering rental programs and boutique hotels among other measures and requirements in any development scenario including an independent Lot 30 development (meaning exclusive of any inclusion of the OSl AR-3 portion of Parcel M) scenario or a Parcel M development scenario. b. The range of development on Parcel M shall be from 9 condominium units (which is currently allowed by right on the Lot 30 portion of Parcel M) to the full 102 total unit mixes for the entire Parcel M as shown on Table 7 Mountain Village Center Development Table ("Table 7"). Table 7, and its policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, shall only be applicable in the event of proposed development of the entire Parcel M. The owner of Lot 30 may elect to bring forth to the Town an application, meeting all submittal requirements of the Town's Community Development Code to develop Lot 30 either independently from the OS1 AR-3 portion of Parcel M or jointly with the OS IAR-3 portion of Parcel M. The Town Council shall have the sole discretion, after receiving a recommendation from the Design Review Board, pursuant to its Community Development Code, to determine if any proposed development scenario other than a by right development scenario of Lot 30, is in the best interest of the community and whether such a scenario is appropriate for development independently on Lot 30 without invoking the requirements of Table 7. The Town Council shall also consider the Community Development Code requirements as well as the Comprehensive Plan principles and policies in making such a determination. c. If an entire Parcel M development scenario is proposed, then an increase in hotbeds and mixed use development is required and shall then require a rezoning to the Village Center zone district in order to realize the Comprehensive Plan principles and policies. d. In the event that an independent Lot 30 development occurs in any manner (ei ther by right or through a rezone and density transfer), OSPlAR-3 may be developed either consistent with the existing underlying zoning or pursuant to rezone and density transfer as approved by the Town Council, so long as it meets such rezone and density transfer requirements and the Comprehensive Plan principles and policies. However, general conformance with the unit mix for Parcel M as shown on Table 7 Mountain Village

92 Center Development Table shall not be applicable as that unit mix is only representative of an entire Parcel M development.
