Edwards Medical Center PUD Amendment Sean Hanagan,Planning FILE NO./PROCESS: PDA-7076 Amendment of a Planned Unit Development PROJECT NAME: Edwards Medical Center PUD Amendment 2 01/23/2018 LOCATION: 322 Beard Creek Road OWNER: The Vail Clinic APPLICANT: The Vail Clinic REPRESENTATIVE: Tom Braun STAFF PLANNER: Sean Hanagan STAFF ENGINEER: Nicole Mosby Executive Summary: This PUD Amendment seeks to expand one building by 2,855 square feet within the overall approved area, modify Comprehensive Sign Plan as well as general procedural language. DISCUSSION: Mr.Hanagan presented the request. He introduced Tom Braun from Braun and Associates and David Lyle from the Medical Center.The applicant was requesting an amendment to the PUD approved in 1996. The proposed expansion would complete phase five(5)of the Edwards Medical PUD which would include two surgical suites as well as some ancillary uses, about 2855 sq. ft. The applicant also proposed a PUD Guide updates that included a new sign plan, sign plan,and new expansion language. The expansion would increase the existing footprint of the building but was a modest increase in overall ratio. In terms of adjacent properties, it did conform to the standards. Adjacent property owners were notified prior to application. There have been no proposed changes to the landscaping, access points, or internal roadways. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommended approval with conditions. Chairman Chandler-Henry asked for information about the storm water detention pond. Ms. Mosby, staff engineer, explained that a site drainage report was submitted in 1999, and with the current proposal, an updated letter was submitted. In looking at the design of the original site plan versus the site plan provided,there was some uncertainty whether the actual approved pond was built or filled back in. This process required verification that the pond was as planned or corrected. Mr.Braun stated that he had little to add as staff captured the main points. He believed the new operating rooms meant a lot to the Medical Center and the services they could provide. The key thing they'd done was to maintain the limited review by holding an open house in July or August to provide information to the adjacent neighbors. Commissioner McQueeney asked if there were a set number of phases and if there would be additional phases in the future. Mr.Braun stated that the site was near build out so no additional phasing was proposed at this time. Chairman Chandler-Henry wondered if there would be any difficulties with increased traffic or parking. Mr. Braun stated that there had not been problems over the last 20 years. The two operating rooms would bring only a handful of additional staff. Mr.Hanagan stated that there was some parking language changed in the PUD Guide. There were 10 new parking spaced associated with the expansion which exceeded the County's Land Use Regulations for parking requirements. Chairman Chandler-Henry opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner McQueeney asked if the conditions were acceptable to the applicant. Mr.Braun indicated that the applicant agreed with conditions. Commissioner Ryan believed that the file met the standards for both PUD amendment and Preliminary Plan. She was prepared to vote yes. Commissioner McQueeney was most concerned with the public process but believed the applicant had demonstrated that the public process was part of their process. She had no concerns with approving the application with conditions. Chairman Chandler-Henry concurred with her fellow commissioners. She believed the application met the standards and she agreed with the staff report. • Commissioner Ryan moved to approve [File No.PDA-7076] with conditions and/or performance standards if it is determined that certain conditions and/or performance standards are necessary to ensure public, health, safety, and welfare and/or enhances the attunement of the proposal with the immediately adjacent and 3 01/23/2018 nearby neighborhood properties and uses; and the proposal is in compliance with both the adopted Eagle County Land Use Regulations and guidelines of the adopted Eagle County Comprehensive Plan(and/or other applicable master plans). Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. cft.NGLE c0 ff ole„ti- There being no further business befo.: ' , th meeting as adjourned until F=.bruary r 2018. �/ / / / Ilf Attest: r..„...4_, � � i i��/..�/� L Iit Board ai 1 4 01/23/2018
