2-40-100 SKI-REC, P-I and PUB Master Plans

(a) General Standards for Master Plans

Master plans and major amendments to master plans shall comply with the standards in this section. Minor amendments to the VLP and the SKI-REC master plans may be permitted subject to compliance with the standards in Sec. 2-20-150(b). Major amendments to an approved VLP Master Plan are also subject to the Special Review standards in Sec. 2-30-30(h).

1. The time frame of the master plan shall be no less than five (5) years, nor more than ten (10) years. A VLP Master Plan does not have an associated timeframe.
2. Activities that have substantial impact on County or municipal capital facilities, such as increases in the daily ski area capacity, shall be identified;
3. If there is any substantial variance between a proposed activity or development and the actual construction of that activity or development, the proposed activity or development will be subject to an amendment procedure in Sec. 2-20-150 of this Land Use Code;
4. Unless the GMQS, by its terms, is inapplicable to the proposed activity or development, or unless a growth management exemption is obtained at the master plan review stage, a growth management allotment is required for any development to occur;
5. Area and bulk requirements shall be as set forth in the master plan; and
6. The height of principal structures shall not exceed twenty-eight (28) feet, and the height of accessory structures shall not exceed twenty (20) feet unless the master plan demonstrates that the use or building cannot function properly within those limitations, or unless other substantial reasons for exceeding the limitations are demonstrated.

(b) General Guide to Uses in SKI-REC, VLP and P-I Master Plans

1. Although permitted uses for the SKI-REC, VLP, and P-I zone districts are specified in Chapter 4, all such uses are subject to approval through the master plan process, and in the SKI-REC zone district some uses may only be approved on a seasonal basis. The outcome of the master plan review process will be a detailed listing of uses and activities that are allowed all year or during a specific season, uses and activities requiring further review prior to their implementation, and other uses and activities that are prohibited all year or during a specific season. Specific time constraints on certain uses/activities may be imposed.
2. All uses not specifically listed as permitted or special review uses in Chapter 4, or not specifically listed in subsection (c) below, are prohibited. In the SKI-REC zone district, prohibited uses specifically include: (i) retail, office, restaurant or other commercial activities that are not operating directly in support of the operation of the ski area, (ii) dwelling or lodging uses (other than cross country huts and employee housing), (iii) activities not directly in support of and compatible with the operation of the ski area, and (iv) activities that have significant unmitigatable service or environmental impacts.
3. VLP zone district. All uses listed a M (master plan) uses in Table 5-1-A, will be reviewed particularly under the Special Review standards of Section 2-30-30(h) and be subject to limitations and restrictions as a result of this review. Where appropriate, master plan permitted uses may be reviewed on an ongoing basis at an appropriate interval to reassess impacts of the use, development, or activity and to require modification to discontinuation provided that structures with vested property rights shall not be modified or discontinued.
