At this meeting, the PEC recommended approval of the application with a vote of 4-3 (Rediker, Pratt, McBride opposed).

A Call-Up, Pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals and Call-Up, Vail Town Code, of the Final Decision of the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission on November 13, 2023, an Interpretation by the Administrator of the Community Development Department Concerning Section 12-2-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, Regarding the Determination of “First Floor or Street Level”

Uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Planning and Environmental Commission's November 13, 2023 decision.

On September 10, 2023, the Community Development Department staff received an email request from Andrew Atkins requesting a determination of the floor of the unit in question. 

On September 21, 2023, the applicant was given the determination made by the Administrator that the unit in question is designated first floor or street level. 

On October 3, 2023, within the 20-day appeal period, the applicant submitted an appeal of this determination.

On November 13, 2023, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the appeal application and voted 4-1 (Smith opposed) to overturn the determination, finding that the Vail Town Code was not properly applied. In doing so, the PEC determined that the unit should be designated as basement or garden level.
