I am hopeful that the developers will want inject sustainability in all its manifestations into this project. As the City commits itself more and more fully to Net Zero, one can hope this project is a shining example of this new direction. The PC real estate market, being what it is, can command prices that justify a mindful approach throughout the project. Is it too much to ask for…?
• Deconstruction of the site, i.e., deliberate demolition such that anything that still has life finds its way to a re-seller, recycler. This has tax benefits for the owner & reduces the amount of landfill space required, carbon footprint of haulage to the dump, etc.
• Solar Panels & thoughtful orientation of buildings to accommodate maximum on-site energy production. Solar in this mostly sunny place should be something we incentivize on all rooftops.
• Electrification of systems in place of fossil fuels to future-proof as we move toward regenerative utilities.
• Design for widespread EV charging.
• Super-insulation of the buildings.
• Triple pane windows
• Thoughtful entries on the commercial buildings such that we minimize how much we heat the outdoors.
• “Reasonable scale” as it relates to ceiling heights, room sizes, etc. so as to maximize efficiency.
• Design for Zero Waste systems/storage.
• Use of gray water for irrigation.
• Use of recycled/recyclable construction materials where possible.
• Restrictive use of snowmelt systems.
• Green roofs where solar is not practicable.

Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, investment in building efficiency bakes in a measure of affordability over the long term. As the developers ask for things to streamline their processes and/or improve the complexion of their outcomes, I hope we have the temerity to ask for the things that would make us proud use this redevelopment as an example of how to build for the future. Thanks.

Please read the following during the meeting
Responsible Resort Area Development (RRAD) supports Park City’s sustainability goals
The RRAD coalition supports
1 An improved first-class transit hub at the PCMR Base Area
2 A transit priority (ultimately electric buses) ideally in dedicated, no-traffic lanes
3 A pedestrian priority, wide sidewalks, safe, convenient, and accessible crosswalks. Friendly, accessible, affordable day storage for skis, boards, and boots, which promotes walking, biking, and transit use
4 Park City’s resolution 28-2017, Zero carbon emissions by 2030. Emissions from automobile trips to and from the Resort are inescapably linked to the carbon footprint of the Resort
8.SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN GUIDELINES
This section of PEG’s Master Plan is vague and lacks detail. Under DESIGN STRATEGIES#4, On-site Renewable Energy. Be specific. Park City has many days of sunshine. Plan for rooftop solar with appropriate orientation.
Nowhere in the SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN GUIDELINES is there mention of tailpipe emissions as a contributor to the carbon footprint of the proposed development. Calculate carbon savings from satellite parking lots. 7.4 miles from Kimball Junction to PCMR, 4.8 miles Quinn’s Junction to PCMR. Promote a first-class transit center as part of the sustainability strategy. Promote how it can reduce the carbon footprint.
2020 Community Vision
In answer to a recent survey question, “What do you think are Park City’s strengths” Survey Results show, “Engaged Community” ranked highest. That’s RRAD! It appears that “Small Town Feel” ranked about 4th. “Transit, climate, & environmental initiatives” ranked about 5th, interestingly above Skiing. Transit, climate, & Environmental initiatives are considered a Park City strength in the 2020 Community Vision Survey. Our town cares about sustainability.

The RRAD coalition hopes for alignment with Park City’s sustainability goals. We appreciate this opportunity to participate in the process.

Good evening, I’m with the newly formed RRAD Responsible Resort Area Development. After reviewing the staff report and applicant’s documentation, these are my questions/concerns with regard to Sustainability -
Staff Conclusion: Aspirational in nature and neither concrete nor measurable; they do not commit to any specific goals and metrics for the proposed new base area.
Resolution 28-2017 is referenced by Planner Ananth and it recommends EUI of 25 or below; applicant’s EUI target is 30. What is a target – goal, doesn’t mean they’ll achieve it. In addition, the staff report raises concerns over committing to zero carbon electricity, compliance with dark sky regulations and electric vehicle charging stations. Finally, the weather normalization model they used was based on Salt Lake City, not Park City.
PEG’s stance on sustainability is clearly stated on p104 of their submission: “They are private and this Resolution 28-2017 does not apply.”
PEG’s stance is in direct conflict with Exhibit A, page 285, LMC 15-6-6(L) which states The MPD, as conditioned, incorporates best planning practices for sustainable development, including water conservation measures and energy efficient design and construction, per the Residential and Commercial Energy & Green Building program and codes adopted by the PC Building Dept in effect at the time of application.
PEG’s stance is also in conflict with LMC 15-6(J) Encourage mix use, walkable & sustainable development and redevelopment that provide innovative and energy efficient design.
Therefore, please confirm Resolution 28-2017 and the Exhibit A codes would apply regardless of PEG being in the private sector and required of the applicant in order to receive approval of their application.
Thank you for reading my comment during the Public Input of this evening's meeting.

Hello. During the course of this project PEG has repeatedly said they are mailing their Community Outreach information to the Residents and the community that live within 300 ft of the Base Area Project. The last mailing they announced was May 13th. I live right across the street from the project on Empire and have never received ANY mailed notices. I have spoken with several of my neighbors and they also have never received any mailed notices. Most of us in Park City know the the USPS does not deliver mail to homes in Old Town but I'm wondering if PEG knows that? Can PEG confirm where they are mailing all of these announcements to the neighbors? If they are mailing them to the physical addresses in Old Town they are probably getting most of them back mark 'Undeliverable'.
