4 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Peak One Dr. PO Box Frisco, CO To: Ten Mile Planning Commission From: Jessica Potter, Planning Department For: Meeting of January 10, 2019 Re: Request for Planning Commission recommendation to the BOCC to pursue an amendment to the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan Copper-Powdr has submitted a request to the Planning Department to initiate the process for an amendment to the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan contained within the Ten Mile Master Plan (Attached). The Land Use and Development Code, Section 2301 specifies the process for amending a basin or sub-basin pan: If the request involves the preparation or amendment of a basin or subbasin master plan, the appropriate basin planning commission shall make a recommendation to the BOCC on whether a master planning effort should be undertaken. The BOCC will subsequently determine if a master planning effort is pursued. Staff is currently reviewing PLN a Major Amendment to the Copper Mountain PUD concerning the proposed A-Lift development. The Commission reviewed an iteration of this request at a work session in September During the work session and following the referral process for PLN18-078, Staff expressed concerns about compliance with finding D for a Major PUD Amendment, D: The proposed PUD modification is in general conformance with the goals, polices/actions and provisions of the Summit County Countywide Comprehensive Plan and any applicable basin or sub-basin master plans. Specifically, the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan contains strict language concerning encroachments into Open Space, as depicted on the sub-basin Land Use Map, as well as language limiting development in the A-Lift neighborhood to low density residential and limited commercial. These areas of the Master Plan do not match up with the current proposal for a Major PUD Amendment. The sections of the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan that Staff is most concerned with in regards to general conformance with the A-Lift proposal are included at the end of this memo. In considering this request, it is relevant to note that the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan was most recently adopted in 2010, two years after the 2008 PUD. The 2008 PUD is the basis for the current PUD, with some modifications. Accordingly, the master plan is closely linked to the current PUD, and any potential request for a Major Amendment to the PUD logically may conflict with the Master Plan. In this particular instance and proposed PUD modification, Staff recommends that, if the Commission agrees a Master Plan Amendment is necessary and desirable, the Amendment be kept limited in scope in order for the applicant and A-Lift developer to proceed with their application in a timely manner. To summarize, the applicant is requesting that the Ten Mile Planning Commission review their request and recommend that the BOCC direct staff to initiate an amendment to the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan. Staff is supportive of this request.

5 The criteria of approval for a Master Plan Amendment from of the Code are copied below: : Findings for Adoption of Master Plans The following findings shall be made by a basin planning commission or the Countywide Planning Commission to approve a master plan or master plan amendment: A. The plan fulfills the general purpose of creating coordinated and harmonious development of the area under study and of the County as a whole. B. The plan promotes the health, safety, prosperity and general welfare of the County's residents, as well as efficiency and economy in the use of land and its natural resources. C. The plan encourages a well-balanced, prosperous economy for the County. D. The plan preserves and enhances the County's unique mountain character, and protects its natural environment. E. If the plan concerns a basin or subbasin, the plan's provisions are consistent with the Countywide Comprehensive Plan. F. If the plan is an amendment to an existing master plan, the amendment is consistent with the other provisions of the plan to which it will become a part. Excerpted Sections from the Copper Mountain Sub-basin Plan: A-Lift Neighborhood The A-Lift Neighborhood is located adjacent to State Highway 91 at the base of Copper Mountain. Current uses in the A-Lift Neighborhood include maintenance and storage buildings, a temporary parking lot, ski area operations and portions of the golf course. A sleigh ride/dinner business currently operates in the A-Lift area, however no residential uses currently exist within the Neighborhood. In the future, the Land Use Plan envisions some very limited residential and commercial uses to be located in the Neighborhood. It is not intended that the A-Lift Neighborhood will become a major portal to the ski area, nor have high density or intensity of land uses. The A- Lift Neighborhood contains some wetlands, floodplains and steep sloped areas that may present development constraints. Goal F. Allow limited residential and commercial uses in the A-Lift Neighborhood that complement the Neighborhood s recreational amenities. Policy/Action 1. The A-Lift Neighborhood should have a lower intensity of land uses than the Village Center and East Village Neighborhoods. Policy/Action 2. Appropriate land uses in the A-Lift Neighborhood include: residential, resort support, skier services, commercial uses associated with resort support facilities, day skier parking and passive and active recreation. An example of limited resort support facilities is a day use skier lodge with ticket sales and rentals. Policy/Action 3. Residential development should be limited to low density single family or duplex structures. Policy/Action 4. Open space areas should be provided within the A-Lift Neighborhood to complement and provide buffers between residential development and between other Neighborhoods. Policy/Action 5. Encourage clustered residential development in the A-Lift Neighborhood. 2

6 Policy/Action 6. Policy/Action 7. Encourage improving the attractiveness of the A-Lift Neighborhood by increasing landscaping and implementing other techniques to reduce visual impacts. Temporary buildings (i.e. trailers) should eventually be replaced with permanent structures. Policy/Action 8. Development in the A-Lift Neighborhood should be consistent with preserving the visual character as viewed from State Hwy 91 and adhering to the goals, objectives and recommended actions of the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway Corridor Management Plan. Goal T. Promote and where appropriate preserve open space areas within the Copper Mountain Subbasin to enhance the area s environmental, aesthetic and recreational qualities. Policy/Action 1. Areas to be used for open space purposes are identified on the Subbasin Plan Land Use Map. The overall intent of the map is to identify environmentally sensitive areas and other features important for open space values. Any proposals that would significantly deviate from the open space land use designations on the Land Use Map will require an amendment to the subbasin plan. Minor encroachments in areas identified as open space on the Land Use Map should be allowed without an amendment to the subbasin plan. These minor encroachments are limited to the following exceptions: Crossings for roads and utilities may be allowed within open space areas, provided they are designed in a manner that minimizes visual and environmental impacts and no other practical alternative exists. Minor encroachments of resort support structures that serve active recreational uses may be allowed within open space areas, provided that the encroachment does not significantly diminish the value of the open space area being preserved. o Small buildings accessory to the active recreation use (e.g., restrooms, ski lift buildings) may be allowed within areas designated for open space/active recreation. Certain resort support uses such as snowmaking pipelines, irrigation systems, wells and chair lifts may be allowed in open space/active recreational areas. Any land use activities within the Ski Area Neighborhood, provided that the land uses are consistent with those identified under the Land Use Ski Area Neighborhood section of this plan. Commercial Land Use Commercial land uses include businesses that are involved in retail sales, provision of personal or leisure services and some office uses. The majority of commercial land uses in the subbasin are found within the Village Center and East Village Neighborhoods. These uses provide a major attraction to visitors and residents and help to create a lively village-type atmosphere within the core areas of the subbasin. A small, highway oriented commercial node is permitted in the North Ten Mile Neighborhood and a very limited amount of commercial space is permitted in the A-Lift Neighborhood.
