(a) Intent: The purpose of the Village Lodge Preservation (VLP) Zone District is to provide opportunities for and to encourage public use and enjoyment of privately owned historic tourist accommodation facilities located within the Town site of Redstone or on surrounding lands in the Crystal River Valley. The VLP zone district is intended to provide incentives for the upgrading and limited expansion of historic hotel, motel, lodge, and similar tourist accommodation facilities (including expansions within separate buildings to develop resort cabins, single family dwellings, and similar uses) when such expansions comply with the applicable development standards of this Land Use Code.
Lands which may be designated to the VLP zone district are those properties which:
(b)Planning and Review Requirements: An approved Village Lodge Preservation Master Plan is required for any development in the VLP Zone District. The VLP Master Plan shall address all existing facilities and all proposed development, and shall be consistent with the Redstone Master Plan and Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan, and shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Land Use Code, including but not limited to the VLP Master Plan standards in Section 2-40-100, the Special Review standards in Sec. 2-30-30(h); Amendments to Development Applications and Permits in Sec. 2-20-150; and Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review in Sec. 2-30-20(g) and Sec. 7-10-50. The VLP Master Plan shall cover the entirety of the property, and shall address all permitted activities/uses on the property.
VLP Master Plan uses are denoted as in Chapter 4, Table 4-1: Permitted Use Table as “A” – Allowed By Right - or “M” –Master Plan Uses. Uses denoted with an “A” or “M” are eligible for consideration in a VLP Master Plan review process. Uses denoted with an “M” are not automatically permitted. Only the specific uses, activities, and facilities approved as part of a site specific VLP Master Plan shall be permitted on a property.
(c) Property Specific Master Plan: Rezoning to the VLP Zone District requires a simultaneous Master Plan review for a property. A VLP Master Plan is a property specific master plan for a property that elects to rezone to the VLP Zone District. A VLP Master Plan is not a neighborhood master plan and/or comprehensive plan. A VLP master plan is not a site specific development plan and does not confer any vested rights.
(d) Land located within the VLP Zone District shall not be subdivided, partitioned, condominiumized or divided to create another lot, parcel, unit or other division of land or interest out of the property, including the creation of parcels that are 35 acres or larger pursuant to CRS Section 30-28-101.
(e) Transferable Development Rights (TDR’s): TDR’s may not be severed from and sold from lands located in the VLP zone district with the exception of TDR’s that are created from Designation to the Pitkin County Historic Register and associated requests for Optional Incentives. TDR’s may not be purchased from other zone districts and landed in the VLP zone district.
(a) Growth Management Quota Systems (GMQS): Lands in the VLP zone district are eligible for GMQS exemptions in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
